READY-MADE CLOTHING

THE ladies, gentlemen and young poo
i pie OF Columbia, who may be in want
OF SOMETHING TO WEAR are respect
FULLY and earnestly invited by the ladies of
the Industrial Association to- call at their
Work-room, in the Female Academy, and
examine the articles which they have now
ready for sale. Some one will always be
found ready to exhibit the ready-made gar
ments and to receive orders from those
who may wish to have work done neatly
and promptly.
The object of the Association is to fur
nlsh constant employment to those who,
having been impoverished by the war, now
depend on the needle for daily bread
Does not such an object commend itself to
the hearts of our citizens? Or must the
anxious applicants for work be told that
oW.peopte prefer Northern-madeg garments,
and that there is, therefore, no more work
for them? Shall it be said that such an
Association as this cannot be sustained in

A GooD JoKE.-We have heard,
says the LynchburS Republican, u
very good story about a. certain rusty
old Confed., who lives in one of our
Western Counties. Not long ago,
being greatly in need of improved
garden seed, and having read in the
papers about the Patent Office and
the Agricultural Bureau, in Wash
ington; he conceived the brilliant.
but not very original idea, of sup
plying his wants at the expense of
the Government. So he wrote q
long epistle to the Hon. Charles
Sumner, Senator from Massachusetts,
setting forth that he was one of the
tried and true, who had come up out
of the fire without the hellish smell
of rebellion on his garments. He
also expiated on the high regard and
warm admiration with which he had
been inspired by the contemplation
OF Mr.. Summers eminent, courageous
and patriotic public career. He
would be very happy if Mr.. Sumner
would pay him a visit at his home in
- County, bringing his lady with
him: He closed by alluding to the
garden seeds, of which he stood in
want.
A few days afterwards, a package
from the Hon. Mr.. Sumner came to
the old Confed., who lives, by-the-by,
IN logcabin, about ten by twelve
feet in dimensions. The honorable
gentleman was delighted to hear that
distant unknown friend, far off in
Virginia, had been watching in hope
and with approval, his humble efforts
In public life. He regretted that the
pressure of his many engagements
would not, perhaps, allow him to
embrace Mr.. IS kind invitation.
He was happy to be able to send the
seed, and would willingly serve him
In any other way.
The ''hunted loyalist" sowed the
seed, and is waiting to see what will
come of them. His letter, no doubt,
is in Mr.. Summers scrap-book, and
vail probably come up in the course
of some future Senatorial debate.
