A GREAT MISTAKE.

We find the following Christmas
thoughts among orr mail this morning.
Notwithstanding there is considerable
truth and sense in what is said. vet We
think they indicate plainly that the fellow
who wrote had no Christmas turkey,
hence his thoughts naturally inclined un-
der those circumstances, TO some cause
for a scarcity which compelled him to go
without, aud bis conclusion is a very
reasonable and natural one, to vii: that a
good many farmers have been spoiled:
Somehow all the students in our
schools get the idea, that man In order to
be somebody must bein public life. Now
think of the fact that the millions attend
ing school in this country, hava in some
way acquired the idea, and that only one
10 every one thousand of these is either
needed in public life, or can win success
there. Let this fact bs realized aud it is
easy to see that the nine hundred aud
nine:y niue will feel that they are some
how cheated out of their birth right.
They desire to be in public life and be
somebody, but they are not, AMI so their
life grows tame aud tastless to them.
Thousands seek to be somebody's through
the avenues of professional life, and so it
is full of nobodys. The pulpit is crowded
with goodish nobodys, who have no pow
er, no junction.; no mission. They strain
their brains TO write common sermons and
wear themselves out in repeating the RAM
of their sect aud the cant of their schools.
The bar is cursed with nobodys as much
as the pulpit, The lawyers are few, the
'pettifoggera are many. The bar more
than any other medium, is that through
which the ambitious youth of the country
seek 10 obtain political eminence. Thous

his plitical scheming. Multitudes of law
yers are disgrace TO their profession, and
curse 10 their country. They lack the
brains necessary to make them respectable
and the morals requisite for good neigh
borhood. They live on quarrels, and
breed them that they may live. They

gadies' gsading.


What narrow skirts, and what sweep OF
trail! Scarf-tied as sashes halfway down
the side of the long, trailing skirts; chains
and beads festooned about the narrow hips,
and over the straight severity of the dress
hair massed in curls on the top Of the head,
a stray one only hanging here and there back
of the ears beads or chains about the neck
and head long, loose sleeves, displaying
white, rounded arms and rich bracelets
these are the points that first strike one on
seeing the gorgeous, glittering throng
There are some, however, whose taste has
made their toilets as fresh and charming as a
June morning. One Of these ladies wears a
lilac silk dress dotted with white lace barbe,
and some delicate lilac flowers in her hair,
and pearlc ornaments, brooch earnings, and
bracelet Her dress is trimmed with plain
lilac bands, corded with white satin.
Another charming dress, but much more
striking, is of maroonacolored gauze, shot
with white, and trimmed with white silk and
crystal fringe. 1t is quite a new effect, but
the wearer being d handsome, snowy bru-
nette, it suits her very well.
Large black and white lace shawls and
burnoose are very much worn, now that
the warm weather has fairly commenced,
over rich toilets. Short silk sacqes, basqui-
mes, and peplums are not elegant over very
long gored and trained dresses; and 1t being
too warm for cashmere Or paisley shawls,
lace is brought into requisition. They are,
however, somewhat expense; the lowest
price for even Lima lace shawl or cloak is
forty or fifty dollars, and from this the cost
ranges all the way up to two thousand
A handsome lace shawl OF cloak is, howey-
er, considered indispensable to a lady's
wardrobe, and is really useful in thousand
ways. 3N flt8g fA4
One of the great features Of the season is
the rich silk and jet embroidery lavished
upon costly silk cloaks and dresses. Mag
nifcent toilets of black gros grains are Liter
ally covered with embroidered, and many are
wrought in exquisite designs upon the seams,
or so as to describe sashes or pointed basques
upon the skirt, in addition to the border
round the bottom. This embroidery is exc
cuted by hand, and gives an infinity Of labor
to the completion of one handsome toilet. s.

went on to quote instances in which Har-
grove had agreed with him in the confidence
of after dinner chat, and had wished a hap
py release to the falsely accused, and swift
despatch to the assassin. "Ha ha after

laugh-or laugh meant to be Significant.

and got up to go. n
{, Hargrove felt that he had blundered. He
ought to have known hisman better, and he
did know him better; therefore that lapse
was as objectionable as 1t was unlucly /;
and Grey was not the man to forget it, as he
was well aware Already, from the glance Of
his eye, and the knitting Of his brow, he ap-
peared to be speculating on its origin or its
motive; and his speculations were apt to be
slrewd, and to hit home. 4 The lawyer en-
deayoured to detain him, and bring him
back to the point, but in vain the doctor
was both angry and dismayed at the turn the
consultation had taken, and he was not easily
appeased. He walked out of the office, and
across to Ills own house in maze, and as
he shut himself up in his study to think the
the matter over, he calculated under his
breath, "He shall not put his legs under my
table again in hurry I half think he may
be the knaye Jacques declares he is. He
was lying when he talked about his pre-
judice, confound him!"

lecture why Mr., Hargrove should desire-as
he evidently did-to perpetuate the social

Suspicion, once generated in unsuspicious

Grey would have put his dearest interests

night he revoked all his former confidence,

was shifty, crafty, doublc-faced petit

New ORLEANS, La, June Z, 1867.
10 the Editor Of The Ne,c ORLEANS Times: sn
In your paper of yesterday notice the
following paragraph, viz: "There is another
very extraordinary case exhibited in the
publication of letter from one of the
bravest and stoutest of the late Confederate
Generals, who gives in his adhesion to a
party whose whole policy seems to be one Of
yindictive persecution and abuse of his late
confederates in arms"
L think this paragraph is calculated to mis-
lead the public as to my views and motives.
If my letter had been published with the
structures, 1 should have had no cause Of
complaint Or if you had explained that its
whole tenor was expressive Of desire to re-
lieve my late confederates in arms" of the
unnatural condition in which they have been
placed 6y the progress of revolution, !
should offer no complaint OF explanation
upon your comments.

upon Republican issues, and it seems to
me fair and Just that the settlement
should be made dccortlingly
This conviction, together with the views
expressed in my letter, and your invitation
in March last, to express my opinions upon
politics, are my excuses for speaking and
for making the concessions that think due,
and for offering my counsel to the people.
If understand the object of politics, it is
to relieve the distress of the people and pro-
vide for their future comfort. The course
that l advise will be sure to meet this view
and do Justice to all. In times of great ease
and comfort should not presume to inter
fere with politics, M matter what technicai-
ties or special pleadings might be adopted by
parties. But these are unusual times and
call for practical advice.
If the paragraph that have quoted had
reference to my letter, ask that you will
do me the favor to publish this and my let
ter as soon as you may find convenient
space for them.

obedient servant, JAMES LoNGsTRRET.

The FRIENDS The New York Evening
Post, speaking of the meetings Of Orthodox
and Hicksite Friends, recently held in that
city, expresses the opinion that there is not
any differences between the members that
would be an insuperable bar to reunion of
both branches of the Society in one body,
except single doctrinal point. The Post
says:
''Setting aside the doctrinal disagreement,
| there is scarcely an observable difference be-
tween the Hicksite and Orthodox members.
Both hate slavery both are practical absti-
| nants from intoxicating drinks; both have a
prediction for simplicity of dress and man
| ners both are fond of good houses and good
living, as are all cultivated people; both in
| sist on education as the bottom-stone of char
| acter and usefulness; the young men of both
| went to the battlefield to fight in the great
| fight of human liberty, while he young wo-
men fbotll followed the camps as nurses and

''a glorious warfare The old people on both
sides tried to convince them that it was
wrong '' to violate their peace principles"
but falling in that they spared no money to
send them off well furnished, with many
hearty prayer that they would trail the rebel
| flag in the dust, set free their ward, the negro
slave, and reture to tell the story of freedoms
victory There was less inconsistency in
this than appears on the surface, for the

perpetual war on the negro, and the ques-
tion was between two kinds of war, not be-
| tween war and peace"
