OF female attire says the Pal Mall Gazette the days

Is gradually abandoning that much abused insttu-
ton. For morning dresses the iron cage is still used
as necessary adjunct to the looped up skirt, which
it serves to keep high and dry out of the mud But
in the evening it is the fashion to wear long trailing
dress, called a queue Ia comete. What is lost in
breadth Is more than compensated in length and it
is doubtful whether as far general convenience is
concerned, this change is for the better.

quite time for them to have learned it, Many rather
than seek new employers. have chosen to contract at
fair wages with their former masters and apparently
have gone to work in earnest. Now that our labor
system is beginning to be understood we can look to
the coming fall with some hope of prosperity We
see no reason why the agricultural nterestJ Of the
South should not multiply under these favorable aus

less expense than heretofore under the old system of
slavery and if he doesnot, his place will be supplied

VERMONT ELECTION. The Democratic
gains in Vermont are over five per cent. at
the late State election. This is certainly
cheering. 1t must be remembered that the
Democracy have never carried State ticket
in Vermont This being the fact, it makes
our large gains in that quarter doubly en-
couraging to the Democracy.
