Reform I'm Riding Dresses.

No costume more utterly unsuita-
BILE for the purpose could be devised
than the present style of habit adopted
by ladies in riding They could hardly
get worse habit, and it is cheering to
know that they are making endeavors
to get out of it. How long viii it be
before ladies on the Atlantic slope will
follow the sensible example of their
quote: sH aaf Fl r.
They propose to throw away the
cumbersome and horse-scarlng hounce
and adopt the Turkish style Of habit,
use the male saddle, and mount their
steeds the same as "other folks. J"
And why not? Physicians recon-
mend invalids to take exercise on
horseback. But this, reader, under
the prevailing custom Of riding on
saddles, is quite as much to be
feared as the disease, and many of the
ladies think they may as we'll die of
consumption as broken backs or
crushed brains. The ladies have
been taking this matter under serious
consideration of late, and have brave
ly resolved to defy old fogyism and
ride as sense and comfort dictate. We
understand that party composed of
FIVE or six of our most respectable
citizens are preparing their Turkish
dresses, and will be ready to take the
air on horseback the latter part of
this week. We notice this style of
riding is being introduced among the
English ladies. and the mothers of
Yankee boys should not be excelled
by the matrons of old fogy England.

Grant and the Presidency.

Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, remarks: 49,. +.
A good deal has been said about
Grants political opinions, but / think
it would puzzle any one to point to an
authorized expression of them. He
no longer conceals the fact that he
wants to be President-or as be says
it, that he would like to be Presi-

to friend the other day he said if he
were sure of it ten years hence he
would rather wait. I" As it is" said
he, 8 if | am elected nowI will be an
ex-President while / am a young
man. My present position suits me
and pays me liberally-nearly $4,000

than eight years, probably not more
than four, and at the end of that
time I'll be out of office, with moth
ing to do and no private fortune to
live on" But bird in hand is worth
two in the bush, and Ulysses would
rather be President in 1869 than to

grave differences between the impress
sions he received by Mr.. Bidwell. Mr..
johnson took the testimony of the,
colonists under oath, course which
Mr.. Bidwell, unfortunately for him
self, was not authorized to pursue.
Men will assert in the heat of contro-
versy what they will hesitate to aver
deliberately under oath. This will
account largely for any discrepancy
between the statements of Consul
johnson and Mr.. Bidwell. One of
the results of Mr.. Johnson's visit was
the providing of means to secure the
passage of some thirty or forty persons
to the United States OF the original
156, there now remains only about 80.
OF those who remain, some are said
to be living on money borrowed at
the ruinous rate of three per cent. a
month. Mr.. johnson investigated
the charges against .Consuls Beau
boucher and Lowenthal, and as far as
legal evidence of guilt is concerned,
will probably prove that they acted
only in a legal manner.

"POrter Spare that Trunk"
From the Philadelphia LEDGER

At shis season the above is a daily
and hourly request at the stations on
all great lines of railway; but it is by
far too often vain request, for down
goes the trunk with crash-the lock
is broken and the contents of the un-
fortunate receptacle are scattered
over the ground to the dismay of the
owneg and the alarm of other travel
ers around, who are left to anticipate
a similar mIshap to their own bag
gage. If the sufferer be a lady, and
as happens every now and then, with
look helplessly at her dresses and
articles of toilette rolled in the dust
and dirt; and if gathered up and
slowed away in the trunk by some
good natured person near, they are in
a sorry plight. The porter or baggage
man in place of apologizing for the
mischief which he has carelessly done,
will! most kelly be heard to growl and
mutter words of insolence and def
ance, as if he had only exercised one
of his reserved rights. Baggage
masters and their assistants are often
equally as reckless as the surly porter
of decent regard for the property
entrusted to their charge, as shown in
the way in which they toss about
trunks and other luggage, or throw
them from one part of the
car to another. Ladies are not
the only sufferers by this abominable
practice. 1t may be alleged that these
cases are exceptional and of rare oc-
currence. Most travellers will tell US,
in reply, they are incidents witnessed
on every long line of railroad, and
especially in the summer months,
when so many leave their homes In
pursuit of health and pleasure Very
pleasant, indeed, to have ones trunk
smashed and clothes spoiled. There
seems to be fixed determination, on
the part of porters, who carry luggage
to steamboats, and depots, and from
there to hotels, to test the strength
of trunks. and, as far as in their pow
er, snap the iron bands, to break. off
straps, which they seize hold of in
place of the handles, and to wrench
hasps and bolts of locks from their
fastenings. There is an apparent trial
to ascertain which has the greatest
power of resistance-the trunk, or
the pavement, or the platform, when
the first is thrown down as if it were
in the performance of some gymnastic
feat for wager. Is it not time that
there should be class of civilized
trunk carriers-of men who under
stand that they should be careful of
goods entrusted to their care?

Fourth OF July.

Captain y. V. Admire, sort OF ed
itorial exclamation point, who pub
fishes paper way down to Newburg,
Warrick County, is corruscative
cuss, and when he once gets started
there is no stopping him until he
writes himself out. The Captain
seems to have spread himself on the
Fourth of July, as we find most por-
tentous thesis In the last number of
his paper, devoted to the eiucidation
of that patriotic subject. The gallant
Captain launches out by imparting to
bis readers the astounding intelligence
that " the fourth of July is the ami
versary of our nation independence,
and then pledges himself to attempt
nothing more than reflect his own
notions of propriety, leaving others to
do the same for themselves" We are
also cautioned that " the origin and
object of this national holiday should
never be forgotten, and that the
" flames patriotism which illumined
the hearts ofour early ancestors are un-
fortunately gradually losing their
brilliancy, and in order to retain the
feeblest spark of this ancient passion,
large quantity of infammables is
essentially requisite
Warming to his work, the gallant
Captain proceeds to ferociously re-
mark that,
The idea that WRONG is the oppo-
site TO RIGHT, was so indellibly i'm
pressed upon our mind by the instill-
alton of early prejudices, that we are
totally incapable of thrusting it aside"
He has our tenderest sympathies.
Struggling and kicking in the vice like
grasp of an Idea, indelibly impressed
upon him ''hy the installation of early
prejudices," and conscious of histotal
incapacity of thrusting it aside, he is
fit subject for commisseration. His
'idea"-an indelible impression, re-
sulting from the installation or distil-
lation of early prejudiees-is as bad as
Victor Hugo's devil fish, and refuses
to be thrust aside. He may struggle
and struggle, like fly in moiasses,
but he can't extricate himself from the
glutenous embrace of his idea. -.
The following magnificent segraga-
ton we present without comment.
Let the reader make the most of it:
However, it may be, our prejudices
to the contrary Notwithstanding, that
on the Fourth of July, these arbitra-
ry and inconvenient religious convic-
tons can properly enough be cast
temporarily aside. We don't propose
to decide this popularity ecclesiastical
question-it is beyond our province.
Our prejudices are so formidable that
we can't indorse it, and, inasmuch as
it is, Judging from public manifesto
tions, the popular notion, it would be
impolitic for US to condemn it.
The following is simply profound:
However, laying aside these ire
pressible considerations, can we not
safely assert that inasmuch as inebri-
ated persons are apt to do and say
things for which they are afterwards
very sorry, it is preferable to con-
tinue sober, even at the expense of
our reputation for intellectual bull
liancy! It is true man is never
half so patriotic as when he is drunk.

The London Times Establishment.

John w. Forney, Jr., sends to the
Philadelphia Press an account OF a
visit to the London Times esta hlish-
ment, which, as coming from news
paper man, contains some features of
interest. The verbal correctness of
the Times is accounted for by the fact
that every line is gone over by proof
readers six or seven times before 1T Is
considered ready for the forms, and
then an old printer is specially en-
ployed, whose duty it is to read the
entire newspaper each morning, and
to report every typographical mistake.
The proofs are then examined, the
authors of the blunders fined, and
the amount thus obtained placed to
the credit of the sick fund " of the
esta blishment. And yet, after all
this care, we have noticed, within a
year or two several typographical mis-
takes in the Times.
Mr.. Forney found the composing
room of the Times neither large nor
we'll ventilated, being much inferior
In these respects to the best class of
Offices in this country. Old fashioned
stands and cases were also employed.
The best compositors only five
or six-can not earn over twenty five
dollars a Week, although it is nearly
as expensive living in London as in
our large cities. The daily eircula-
ton of the Times is somewhat over
forty thousand. = Of the four presses
used, the best two are Hoes and they
not of his late and best manufacture.
There is a restaurant connected with
the establishment, at which food is
served at cost prices. There are
eighteen reporters. and correspond
ing number of editors, who are invis-
-ible to the public. The telegraph is
much less used than in this country,
and less enterprise is shown in pro-
curing news. Mr.. Forney says that
nothing surprised him more than the
complete system prevailing through
out the establishment. Nothing is
allowed to go to waste. A card is
kept by the different pressmen, and
on it is marked the cause of any
spoiled sheet-whether it was the
fault of the paper maker, the feeder.
or the press. The very rags with
which the machinery is wiped are
counted, and those who use them can
not receive clean ones until they re-
turn the dirty ones. The latter are
then washed by washing machine
