The Collapse of CrinoIine

No one who promenades Broadway now
a. days will doubt that the long foretold,
long delayed collapse of crinolino" has at
last come to pass. 1t is visible to the
most careless observer, and has proof in
our most fashionable ladies as they "march
along" The immense circumference OF
skirt and sweep Of train that came in
vogue dozen years ago, and have been
expanding and lcngthening ever since,
until recently, are now things Of the past,
In their stead masculine eyes are now
gratified by neat, trim dresses. at once
moderate in size, gracefully brief and
preeminently piqaonL We believe that
those who have experience in such mat
iers, or make them study. admit that, in
point cf taste, convenience and comfort.
the present style is far superior to that
which it has superseded, and it is said that
in the estimation Of ladies there arc still
other considerations favorable 10 the d.
minution Of scope that has taken place
But these arc mysteries beyond newspaper
ken, and not to be spoken Of lightly by
the uninitiaied. 1t would be madness TO
hazard an opinion as to how long the new
order Of things will remain supreme
But we expect, long ere We die, to behold
again in Broadway the flowing immensi.
ties Of feminine glory which have appear
ed and reappeared In every generation
since the mighty Bess strobe through the
world in her gigantic ponderosity.-[ N

HeaIthfuIness Of Apples.

There is scarcely an article Of vegetable
food more widely useful and more univer.
sally liked, than the apple. Why every
farmer in the nation has not an apple or.
chard, where the trees will grow at all, is
one Of the mysteries. Let every house
keeper lay in good supply Of apples, and
il will be the most economical investment
in the whole range Of culinaries. A raw,
mellow apple is digested in an hour and a
half, while boiled cabbages require five
hours. The most healthlul dessert that
can be placed on the table, is baked ap-
pie. Ii eaten frequently at breakfast, with
coarse bread and butter, without meat or
flesh Of any kind, it has an admirable ef-
feet on the general system, often remov-
ing constipation, correcting acidities. and
cooling of febrIle conditions more effect
ually than the most approved medicines.
If families could be induced to substi-
tute applcs--sound and ripe-for pies,
cakes and sweetmeats, with which their
children are too frequently stuffed, there
would be a diminution in the sum total OF
doctors bills, in single year, sufficient
to lay in a stock of this delicious fruit for
whole seasons Christian Advo-

Pa said the little creature, with
sweet simplicity, (which way arc you

Now that the skating mania has broken
out with violence, we, take, occasion to
print the following directions for begin
ners: tfi / fssst p fift 4ttIf
/. Never try to skate in two directions
at once. This feat has often been attempt
ed by beginners, but never successfully
1t always ends in sorrow. ff eE
g Eat a few apples for refreshme mt
sake whileskating, and be sure to throw
the cores on the ice, for fast skaters to
break their shins over. Fast skaters are
your natural enemies, and should not be
allowed to enjoy themselves peaceably.
3. Sit down occasionally, no matter
xhere--riehs m the way of the rect of the
party, if you want to. There is no law to
prevent new beginner from sitting down
whenever he has an inclination to do So
A. When you meet particular hand
some lady, try to skate on both sides Of
her at once. This is very pretty, and sure
to create sensation. If the lady's big
brother is in sight, it is well to omit this
5. Skate over all the small boys at once
Knock 'em down. 1t makes great fun
and they likeit
6. If you skate into hole in the ice
take it coolly. Think how you would fee
If the water was boiling hot
Z. Ifyour skates are too slippery, buy q
new pair. Keep puying new pairs until
you find pair that are not slippery
This will be fun for the dealers. -
s. In sitting down, do it gradually
Dcu't be too sudden; you may break the
ice.
8. When you fall headlong, examine
the straps cf your skates very carefully
before you get up This will make ev.
cry body think you fell because your skate
was loose. Beginners always do, you
know.
10. Wear heavy overcoat or cloak till
you get thoroughly warmed up, and then
throw it on and let the wind cool you.
This will insure you fine cold that will
last you as long as you live.
II. After you get so you can skate toll
erably we'll, skate yourself sick immedi-
ately. Don't be reasonable aboutit; skate
till you can't stand up. Do this every
day, and it will be sure to make you sick
at last; and then you may die, and that
will be an excellent thing; it will be such
a good example to the rest of the young
people.
A few simple directions for lady skaters
are added:
|. IfyoG wear filters on the ice, be sure
that your calves are properly adjusted.
The spectators along the banks are gener-
ally critical.
2. Scream prettily in passing au air hole,
and give the arm of Charles Augustus a
frantic squeeze Ii makes him feel his
oats, in protectional way.
3. your skating partner is eligible,
and your foot is pretty, don't hesitate in
asking him to adjust your skate straps ev-
cry ten minutes. He will rather like it.

MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR MORTON
Delivered Friday, January II, 1867.

GeatLmen of The Senate aud House Of Rep
reseatddres:;
Throughout the year which has Just
passed, the people of Indiana have been
greatly blessed. The pestilence which
desolated other parts OF the country,
touched within our borders but lightly,
and did not long remain, and good health
has generally prevailed to an unusual de-
gree. ett
Although one Of our staple crops has
fallen short, causing loss and ombargass
ment to many, yet We have had great and
almost uncxampled prosperity.
Agriculture has been prosperous, com.
merce has 1ourished, manufactures. have
been extended, public improvements ol
various kinds projected and successfully
prosecuted. ......-
When we consider that the country has
Just emerged from dreadful war in which
our State bore distinguished part, and
suffered greatly in the loss of thousand oi
her best citizens, aud tho withdrawal from
labor and business OF many thousand:
moro her general prosperity and growth
in population aud wealth 10 surprising a:
it is gratifying.
According 20 tho census Of 1860. The
population Of Indiana was one million
three hundred and fifty thousand four
hundred and twenty. eight q $50 ,42s.)
BY the enumeration which has been
made and returned to the Auditor Of State
under an act Of the last Legislature, il il
shown that, in 1866, the State had pop
ulation of three hundred and forty thou,
sand two hundred aud forty (340, ,240)
white males over tho age Of twenty-one
years, which number multiplied by the ra.
ito usually adopted, would give popula-
ton Of over one million seven hundred
thousand. The estimate will also be sus.
tainsd by comparing the aggregate vote Of
