The New York Sun Of the 9Th notes that
the previous week, the decline in wholesale
prices was greater than in any week since
the present downwardmoyement commenced
and says:
= Standard domestic manufactures, in the dry
goods market receded in price about twenty per
cent. and the average reduction in imported
goods we probably not less than twenty per
cent. Even at these reduced rates sales were
very meagre. and it is quite probable that the de-
cline viii continue during the present week. In
other branches of trade there has also been a ma
terial reduction in prices, although the per cent
age of decline has not been SO uniform as in the
dry goods market. ii is evident that prices are
now rapidly grayitating toward real Value

IF Austria and Prussia will render
themselves the tools of France, Rus
sia can no longer depend on them as
heretofore. Venetia without Rome
would constitute no progress for Italy.
The submission of Austria to France
is notadvantageous but dangerous to
the equilibrium. The supremacy of
Prussia in northern Germany narrows
that of Russia on the Baltic. Rus
sia's love of peace does not sanction
Prussias efforts to obtain supreme
power. ~

Horace Greely on s'Fhe Fully DeVel-
Oped Legs Of Perfect Women"

But is it not quite time we were hav-
ing some. plain truth on so simple q
patter? Will not some advocate for
beauty and symmetry take part of the
women and the hoop skirt makers,
and VOW boldly that concealment of
the person is no part of the design of
the present fashions, nor any intrin-
sic portion of female modesty? Why
should the women hide the charms
of their locomotive organs? Do we
not delight to see the feet and shape
ly limbs of children, and adorn, deco
rate, and exhibit them with commend
able pride? Is there anything indie
cent in that? and are not the fully de-
veloped legs of perfect women quite
as attractive and admirable?
Besides, this new device is really a
very old one, AS early as 1757 an old
English poet said:
with silks and hoops full five yards wide,
To show us how their garters are tied"
It is not to be supposed that the
purer instincts of maidens, mothers,
and wives could repeat such odious
follies if there were anything which
violated natural modesty about them.
Perhaps there is nothing to which the
motto could be more appropriately
applied, unless it were the garter, of
which it was originally said, Hoai
soit qui NAL q pe'aSe.
