The TiltIn,- s.,-,,

Upon this subject the Ieouud Table, of
last week, comments as follows: A
pretty foot and a shapely ankle are in.
dubitably strong attractions In a wo-
man, and If she chooses to show them,
she will assuredly neverIlack admirers
to appreciate the privilege. There is
nothing intrinsically more immodest in
showing the lower limbs than in show
ing the upper ones, and as the latter are
usually revealed without covering and
the former are not, the distinction, II
any, is ION the safe side. Decidedly
there is less suggestion OF indeltcacy
even in q revelation extending to the
knee, than in the over liberal exposure
Of the bosom too often seen In society,
which fashion still appears to sanction.
A nice foot and ankle, we'll booted, and
rounded continuation well hosed,
however attractive asswe, have, seen
them 70 be, do not convey, save to. the
very morbid and unmanly imaHinings,
such significant associationsAsd does the
braZen reVealment of those parts of the
figure which most decent women, even
OF barbaroqs nations, have ever, ieal-
ously Yeiled as the sacred symbols Of
maternity. No, such Developments to
a healthy mind are not entirely shock
ing and demoralizing. There fs only
danger that, like all pleasant, piquant,
or slightly equivocal things, they may
be carried too far-or, to be more exact,
that the skirts may be tilted too high,

Renntx orIrIsh 1Komen.

Mons. Felip Belly, one of the writers
of the COmStituttoneIle, having made a
tour through Ireland last summer,
pronounces the following eulogium
upon the women of the country:
The most remarkable element, the
richest. and certainly the most full OF
life, ofthis land so life full, is the pop
ulation itself. No European race, that
of the Caucasian excepted, can compete
with it in beauty. The Irish blood is
of a purity and distinction, especially
among the females, which strikes all
strangers with astonishment. The
transparent whiteness OF the skin, the
absorbing attraction, which in France
is but the attribute ofone woman to a
thousand, is here the general type. The
daughter of the poor man, as well as
the fine lady, possesses an opal milky
tint, the arms of statue, the foot and
hand of duchess, and the bearing of a
queen. In the most wretched street in
the olden quarters of Dublin, the most
ideal tintings of the pencil would grow
pale before the beauty of the children;
and in the compact crowd which each
day occupies the footpaths of Merrion
Square, there is certainly the most
collection of human beings
it is possible 10 meet. Blondes with
black eyes, and brunettes with blue,
are by, no means rare. The race is as
strong as 1t is handsome, as vigorous as
it is charming. The girls OF Come
mara, with their queenly shoulders and
eyes Of ire, would put to shame, at
this day, those -.danghters- of the East
from whom they are said to have de-

rhent,nra ri,tnn Hell.

Theodore Tilton has been looking
into New York by gas-light, and dare
not tell all that he saw. He says OF
what he did:
"In company with several we'll
known public men, and under the
guidance of the police, we made a tour,
last Saturday night, through the Meth
ermost haunts of misery, vice and
crime in the CITY of New York. This
is an exploration which every man
connected with public affairs, either by
possible, to make; at least once in his
life. Born in New York, and having
always either resided or labored within
II. we never saw or knew our own city
until last Saturday night. Neven until
then had we any adequate conception
of its poverty, of its squalidness, of its
yillainv, of its debauchery, of its
leprosyl The sight can never be forgot
ten! The story, even If he had the
heart to tell it, must, for decency's
sake, remain untold: wecanIoniy say
that none of the familiar descriptions
had adequately prepared us for. the
actual scenes. We were shocked, con-
founded, sickenedl Aud as we now
look back upon the awful revelations Of
that one nights descent into hell, we
can hardly persuade ourselves that
what we saw was reality; it seems a
hIdeous dream"

The Influences that Prevented War
in Europe.
The London Times, in considering
the influences that caused the two great
est military Rowers jim 4fhe world to
pause, whenalmostfully committed;to
war, and make peace, says:
"Weyneed hardly wonder If, in de-
spiteeof the, immense vaporing, on Sthe
paftof irresponsible persons, the real
arbiters of the desttnies of the two
countries shrunk from the senseless
trial. We had from the beginning ex-
pressed our full confidence In lthemqd
Grafton of Count Bismarck and the Kim
peTOr Napoleon. In the estimation OF
such clear-headed statesmen, a war be-
tween. France and Germany, under
present circumstances, could only re-
suit in "a drawn game. Even we
would deny the Emperor of the French
all generous impulses, we must give
him credit for his readiness to acquiesce
in the -iEreparabls., Had he not been
superior to the jealousy with which
some French politicians looked upon
the achievement of German unity, he
must be aware that the opportunity was
past, and that all interference would
now be too late. The "pang of patriot
ism," to which NJ. Rouher alluded, was
a clear acknowledgements of the irre-
trievable nature of the Imperial mis-
take. Unity was to Germany the cloak
which might, perhaps, be coaxed from
her shoulders by the SUMS warmth, but
which every gust of clustering wind
would be sure to wrap tighter and
tighter round her throat: bismarck
was aware of it, and 1t suited him TO

ing up too much of a storm.n

RATE OF SUBSCRIPTIONS.
RATES OF ADVERTIs1Nq.
Night reIerrophle Messages.

The Western Union Telegraph Com.
pauy has made arrangements for the
transmission OF night messages" be.
tween the more important stations east
of New Orleans and st. Louis, by which
a great number of words can be sent at
the same rate that is usually charged
for ten-word message. The terms and
conditions are as follows: Ill.,. s
'"This company will transmit mes.
Sages between the principal cities on
the lines east fSt. Louis and New Or
leans-both MISUNDERSTANDING the night,
and deliver the same the Succeeding
morning on the following terms: sGj Z
.HFor a message of twenty words or
less, the usual tolls on u ten-word mes
sage will be charged.
"For message of more than twenty
words and not exceeding sixty words,
twice the usual tolls on a ten-word mes
sage will be charged.
For a message of more than sixty
words aud not exceeding one hundred
and twenty words, three times the
usual tolls on ten-word message will
be charged. ~ II ~"
"For each additional one hundred
words, or part thereof, in excess of one
hundred and twenty words, the usual
tolls on a ten-Word message will be
charged in addition.
"Snch messages will be known as
Might Messages and must be written
hereunder, otherwise full tariffs will be
charged thereon. They will be received
for transmission ut any time during
the day or evening, and will be sent
during the succeeding night. No ad-
ditional charge will be made Tor cipher
messages"
The TeteSrGpher says: 1--WE think
that when this matter becomes fully
understood and appreciated by busi-
ness men, it will be found great con-
venience. These offices must be kept
open at night in any event, and the
lines and operators employed by these
messages would otherwise remain idle
a great part of the time. at the same
time the pressure upon the wires dur
ing the business portion of the day, will
be to some extent relieved"

The Very Latest.

Recent letters from Paris say the de-
cision of the dress-making world ap-
pears to point to still closer approx
imation to the odious fashions" of the
First Empire. The most fashionable
women now wear no criuoline at even
ing parties; but trail after them long
trains of three quarters of yard in
length unsupported by aught, save a
trailing petticoat of starched muslin OF
nearly equal length. Bead trimmings,
in jet, amber or mock pearls, are more
in favor than ever, and are worn as
necklaces, as bands across the hair, as
"squaw belts" covering the whole OF
the stomach) and on every part OF the
dress. False hair, false stomachs for
thin women, false ears most Cleverly
initiated in gutta percha the real
ears being hidden under the
hair, fllse cheeks called plumpers,
and inserted between the gums and the
real cheeks, to.which they impart full
ness and roundness), with false hair,
enameled complexiOns, and artistic
padding, make up total considerably
removed from the simplicity of ma
ture," but greatly in vogue at the
present day. Jewelry is worn very
large and snowy; earrings, especially,
being often worn so large that one
wonders the ear does not tear away
under such weight. Though
usually hollow, these earrings are
anything but favorable to the preserva-
ton of the form and freshness of the
ear. 1t appears to be resolved in high
places that the bonnet shall be replaced
by the more picturesque styles of head.
