!, A CLERGYMAN on A .SPREE.--Seme
days ago minister arrived in this city
from town in Illinois. He belonged
to an evangelical denomination, and
came to this city to preach a trial ser
mon before a congregation, with the
understanding that if the sermon was
satisfactory he was to be engaged Is
the shepherd of the flock. He was de-
termined to succeed and did. His SER
mon was powerful and charmed the
hearts of the audience. and the object
of his visit was secured. But alas,
Satan is ever spreading seducing
snares. The good man became SO
elated with his success that
he INDUCED in q little spree The
consequence was lamentable. He stray
ed into the vile precincts of Almond
street, and fell victim to the allure
ments Of painted Jezebel. After this,
what transpired is not known, but 1t
appears that he became unconscious,
and when lie regained his senses he DIS
covered that all his money, some sol,
had disappeared from his pocket. He is
a poor man, as most ministers are, and
the loss was heavy to bear, and in the
anguish of his repentant soul, he ap-
piled to the police, but SO far, We be-
lievc, his money has not been recovered.
When last heard of he had succeeded in
raising the wind' to small extent,
and had returned to his wife emphatic
ally "a sadder and wiser man."-St.
Louis Democrat.

The editorial profession has had
many respectable individuals in it, but
not many royal personages. Julius
Caesar, however, was an editor, and his
paper, the Acta Dlurna (Daily NcTs) was
the first daily paper on record. Its cir
culation was immense-for though there
we're only about dozen copies of it
published, they circulated from hand to
hand all over Rome, till everybody had
read them who could read ut all.

All the World Over.

There are but few spots on our globe where
HOSTETTERS STOMACH BITTERS are not
known; and, when known, appreciated.
In the UNITED STATES and BRITISH AMERICA it
has become a household word. As protective
against malaria epidemic fevsrs, Fever and
Ague and other diseases produced by MAS
matte influences, it stands far ahead of all other
preparations, and is so considered by the most
eminent PHYSICIANS of the day.
In SOUTH and CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICo and
WEST INDIES il has obtained firm hold on the
minds OF the people and is implicitly relied
upon as a certain preventive and cure for the
many malarious diseases incident to those trop.
ical regions
In AUSTRALIA, TASMANIA, NEW ZEALAND, and
adjacant Islands, its progress has been marvel
Gus. Merchants, Miners, Farmers, Manufac.
turers and Squatters, all endorse it, Thousands
already has it saved from the pernicious effects
of miasma arising from the low swampy grounds
30 prevalent in those countries.
In CHINA and the EAST INDIES Il is working
its way with rapid strides and is extensively
used in the hospitals.
In Conservative EUROPE, oven, its influence
Is being felt; and the day is not far distant when

New Heads for the Ladies'.

An effort is making, on the part OF
certain leading ladies in fashionable
circles in this city to bring in new
style of wearing the hair. They are
proceeding OH the principle that beauty
unaderned is adorned the most, and
hence all chignons, rats, waterfalls,
hair-pins, bands and other eXcresences
with which it is customary to lumber
up the head and rot the hair, are to be
discarded. The hair, in short, is TO be
worn just as nature made it, hanging
loosely over the shoulders or flowing
down gracefully behind. This mode, of
course, will be stoutly resisted by such
of the dear creatures as nature has not
given bountiful supply of head COW
ering, but, nevertheless, it is believed
the experiment will be a success when
once it has fair trial. The chignon
makers and the perukers are turning
up their noses at the very suggestion,
but the disinterestedness of their mo-
tives is perfectly understood. The
feeling seems to- be that, as our moth
ers, wives, sisters and daughters are alb
solntely compelled to wear other peo-
pies hair or to be ont of the fashion, it
is abont time that some of the sex had
sufficient moral courage to show how
their ewn hair can be worn, and how,
therefore, the feminine eaput can be
made to look, not the hideous hnmpy-
dumpy it now is, but n ''thiug of beau
ty," if not a 'joy forever"

The Naked Dra ma

Was supposed to have eliminated in
the Black Crook and Cendrillon. 1t has
remained, however, for Boucieault and
Wallack's Theatre, the one 10 invent
and the other to display, new and
more untrammeled exposition of wo-
manly symmetries. In the Flying
Scud,' now running at that Legitimate"
place of amusement, there is n scene
which is described in the following
terms by WilkeS Spirit:
~ had hoped that at least one house
might be LETT to us where ladies might
go without seeing more of "naked truth
than pertains to the regular drama; it
was not supposable that the ocular de-
velopment of the human form divine
was necessary in the house claiming to
be foremost in all the country as the
legitimate home of dramatic art, yet
the naked fever has broken out even
here. Without any sufficient reason
there are ten girls or women put upon
the stage as jockeys or riders of the sup
posed race-horse. As general rule, /
believe, race-horses are ridden by men
OF boys; at any rate, it is the custom in
this country. But the questionable
taste of having females in such posi-
ton at all is magniiied into positive
offense in the manner of their dressing.
A great deal of development of shape
may be tolerated. We all admire fine
neck, arm, foot, leg, and q liberal shew
of bust; but when it comes to delibcr-
ate display of the form from the hips to
the knees, when there is not wrinkle
i'll all that section of female anatomy
not faithfully developed by the skin
clese silk tights, it is time to protest.
This is the case in the Flying Scud.
The ten women who come on as jockeys,
Lot only dress SO as to shock the pub
lie propriety, but put an end to any
doubt one may have of their shapes by
dancing sort of horse-hornpipe, which
gives play to the human form divine, )
and brings out all the points, fine or
otherwise, of the fair jockeys. The
'pigskin' fit will do well enough on
boys, but upon fully developed women
it fits altogether to much. We have
heard great deal about the indelicacy
of the Black Crook ballet, but am I'M
able to recall anything in that much
abused play equal to the 'pigskin club
dress and dance"
