4 SroRY ABOUT j UDcE AMBROSE SPENCER.
At period when Judge Ambrose Spen-
Ger was ON the bench Of the Supreme Court
of New York-this was upwards of forty
five years ago-there was on Staten Island
i lawless set of men engaged in villainous
wrecking and kindred pursuits to such an
extent as to lower the morality and stand
ING of the Island in universal estimation.
Judge Spencer presiding at circuit held
there. was trying man who had commit
ted some gross and high crime. The evi-
dence was clear in proof of his guilt and
his honor charged strongly against him.
The jury, however, brought in verdict OF
not guilty. The large and commanding
figure of the Judge rose and lowered itself
to its full height: " Prisoner" said his
honor, in the severest and loudest tones,

who was in the English rising of 10 and

long sermon or speech at the place of ex-
ecution, prayed for King james and his
son Charles. and all the rest of the Stuart
family, called King George usurper, and
then gave sermon to the sheriff. He be-
haved very boldly on his trial. When he
was going from the bar, after having been
found guilty, he said openly to the other
gentlemen prisoners g Never mind it, my

Summer Fashions.

No striking novelties in materials have been
imported the past month, and there has
been little change in styles. The millinery
trade which was brisk during the pleasant
days of June, is now somewhat dull, and
there is corresponding decline in business.
The Paris exposition has attracted an unu-
sual number of families, and it is said that
many rich and elegant costumes have been
prepared to be worn there.

grand state, with the black rod on his

times, which he does with great solemnity.

rang through the House. At first the no.

soon recovered and joined in the laughter
as heartily as any one. and even - Mr.
Speaker could hardly draw down his
risible muscles to q due tension, as the
Black Rod marched up the House.

BONNETS

Bonnets have become trite smaller,
but have as much trimming as when they
were larger. Some Of the small bonnets
are so lavishly ornamented with pearl pend
ants, spangles, ruches, flowers and imita-
tions of fruit, that they are not easily de-
scribed. One of the prettlest white straw
bonnets worn this summer has the edge
trimmed with very narrow band OF black
satin, a spray of delicate French flowers
at the side, black lace ruche inside. and
ribbon strings. medium width, edged on
both sides with rich black lace. These
strings are not to be tied, but crossed and
fastened with cluster of flowers, or a
pretty ornament La old times straw bon
nets were worn for economy, and the bon
net if soiled could be cleaned and worn
the second season, but this can only be
done now with some Of the English and
Neapolitan straws The delicate French
chips. rice straw, and all the fancy braids
cannot be renewed, and if exposed to 9
sprinkling are as much loss as those
made of Grape illusion or other gossamel
fabrics
Bonnets made of tulle, Grape and lac'
are more worn than straw, and are mucf
prettier, having more of light, airy ap
pearance, and seem better adapted to th'
warm, bright days of summer. The fan

SHIN-BoNE IvoRY.-About -, 900 oxen
are killed each week to supply the city OF
New York with meat. The bone known
as the " shinbone,'' and all the leg from
the knee to the hoof, falls into the hansd
of Mr.. Peter Cooper. He contracts with
the butchers and marketmen to supply him.
and in this way about 100000 shin-bones
per week find their way to his establish
ment. All the muscles are taken from
them, the gluten is extracted, and the clean
white bone is kept to be worked up into
parasol handles In this way Mr. Cooper
has made an immense fortune, and many
ladies who supposed they were admiring a
beautiful carved ivory handle to their
sun-shades, riding-whips, ETC., have only
been gazing upon the shin-bone of an OK
the very animal, perhaps, which supplied
their mornings beefsteak. 80 yaasp

A Romance of the ReDublic,

Mrs. l.. Maria Child has been so long
known to the reading-public, that she needs
no introduction on another appearance. The
new story. written by her, which Ticknor Il
Fields have just published. will be widely and
gladly welcomed by her many admirers, and
will add to her well established fame. This
romance, as its title indicates, draws its
various and interesting incidents from the
civilization which characterized the South
previous to emancipation. Mrs. Child is an
abolitionist, was one when it was not only
a name of reproach, but exposed those who
bore it to perils worse than exclusion from
polite society, and when abolitionists were
very few in numbers, and only strong in the
truths and principles they adhered to,-and
she writes now upon such a theme with all
enthusiastic love of liberty which years have
in no wise diminished. The two principal
characters of this novel were octoroons, who
were treated and educated as the daughters
of their white father but were left, at his
sudden decease, under the laws of Louisiana,
in the condition of slavery. Upon this
foundation a story of engrossing interest is
built, abounding in thrilling scenes and
unexpected changes, described with much
dramatic power. No extract from it can do
it justice, but we cannot forbear copying a
fragment which introduces an honest North.

OPENING THE SESSION.

1t is half-past three o'clock; and as the
House, when fairly at work, in the middle
of the session, meets precisely at four. it is
necessary, in order to witness the entrance
of I" Mr.. Speaker" and other formalities
which are part of the evenings proceedings
of this great national council, that we take
our stand in the outer or g strangers =
lobby, where there are already assembled
the numerous parliamentary agents, clerks,
and other functionaries interested in the
.sprivate business" of the House; some to
canvass members for their support of pri-
vate bills-otherS to influence their oppo-
sition to such measures.
Precisely at ten minutes of four, a voice
is heard from the corridor leading to the
Speakers room, announcing the approach
of d" Mr. Speaker" The Inspector of po-
lice, who stands where the corridor enters
the lobby, cries out, :. Hats off, strangers, .
and every man is Immediately uncovered
The doors of the House are then thrown
open, and, preceded by messenger of the
House in full dress, with his silver-gilt
badge suspended from his neck, and the
Sergeant-a III court costume, with
the massive mace on his shoulder. " Mr.
Speaker" in his robes, and accompanied
by his chaplain, is seen approaching, his
sweeping train being borne hy another
messenger in full court livery On the
Speakers approach to the door, the princi-
pal doorkeeper proceeds to the bar and
calls out, < Mr.. Speaker" whereupon the
members present at once fall into their
respective places, and, standing uncovered,
reverently bow as that functionary passes.
On his entrance into the House Mr..
Speaker" does not at once take the chair
but stands at the table while the chaplain
reads the prayers. When prayers COM
mence the doors of the House are closed,
and the doorkeeper announces that . Mr..
Speaker is at prayers" and at the same
time rings a bell, or rather sets going Il
machine which causes simultaneous ring
ing of bells in all parts of the House where
members are likely to be. In about seven
minutes "prayers are over" which fact Is
formally announced by the doorkeeper and
the bells are again set in motion. The
doors of the House are then opened, and
as soon as " Mr. Speaker" has ascertained
that the requisite " forty" members are
in the House, he takes the chair. The
doorkeeper then calls out, Mr.. Speaker
is in the chair" and the order of business
for the night begins. 1t sometimes hap
pens that when the hand of the clock points
to four there are not forty members pres
ent. In this case the Speaker at once ad-
iourns the House This never, however,
occurs on government nights, OF when the
government wants - to make a House" for
on these nights the whips" always take
care to secure the attendance of the requi-
site number.
