short Dresses.


A remarkable change in fashion is the
Introduction of the short" suit Many
trembled while adopting so daring an in
novation, fearing ridicule, or that fashion
so strange and unexpected would vanish as
suddenly as it appeared.
'Jrhe new short dress is thoroughly fomi-
nine. 1T frees woman from all the obstacles
to walking and outdoor exercise, without
offending their taste or their scruples. II
is simple, compact, requires little material,
few skirts, and those small and narrow, re-
lieves the body of all superfluous weight,
and in conjunction with the admirable
thick soled walking boots now in vogue
furnishes costume fer the street as nearly
perfect as one can expect to get in this
transitory and imperfect state of existance.
1t is not known how long the fashion
will continue to be accepted abroad-but it
is greatly to be hoped that ii will be sustain
ed here. A generation Of short dresses
would enable our American women TO grow,
and nurse their own children, and prove a
great step towards universal millennium.
The style of making short dresses is in
finitely varied, but the prettiest are cut
straight at the edge and open upon the
sides, over the petticoat The Jacket ac-
companying these is short and straight,
somewhat loose, and cut up on the sides
also.
The first short dresses were universally
cut in dents or teeth, square or pointed
and many of them are cut out in various
ways still, but the palmer method is gene
rally considered in the best taste.
Balmoral skirts in fancy colors, or with
fancy trimmings, are not elegant worn
under short dresses the petticoat must be
of the same material as the dress, or deep
band Emulate the petticoat in the same, or
a contrasting color.
Among some beautiful models of short
dresses exhibited by Nine Demorest was
one with breadths shaped like petals, and
folding over like the leaves of a flower
The sac is cut to match, or it may be simu-
lated by trimming put on so as to produce
the same effect. The material in this case
was black silk, and it was trimmed with
narrow folds of violet silk, put on between
two rouceaur of black satin, with a jet head
ing. The petticoat was of violet silk, laid
in flat plaits, fastened down with small cut
jet beads.
Another design formed an octagon over
a straight petticoat The material was gray
poplin, and both dress and petticoat were
trimmed with bands of white gimp, made

Short dresses will be IA god-send To those
who like morning walks in the country.
No more dew betrayed skirts, no more
extravagant washing bills" seeing the
sunrise will simply require the exercise
of little moral courage-it win cease to
be an expensive luxury.
1t must be remembered, however, that
short dresses are not to be worn on cere-
monious occasions without offending against
the rules of social etiquette; and moreover,
that they must not be worn at all by ladies
weighing over two hundred pounds Med

Fishing by Telegraph.

The greatest novelty IS the use of the
telegraph In the Norwegian herring fish
cry. The deep sea fisheries from the Maze
to Naranger Fiord extend over a range of
POO miles, and some of them are variable
both as regards time of year and locality !;
others recur at stated periods, but with less
er oscillation with respect to time and
place The population directly and indi-
rectly interested in the fisheries is proba-
bly, not less than $50, 600; and the fishermen
actually engaged in them at one time not
less than 60,000 These latter move TO and
fro with boats along the coast, and former,
ly-before the telegraph was impressed
into their service-the inability TO test the
accuracy of the reports they heard, and
the great distance they had to traverse
before reaching the neigborhOod of the
shoals, were the cause of endless disap-
pointments and failures, and the catch was
frequently lost for want of hand to capture
the fish. This is now all changed as far rs
the herring fishery is concerned.
Telegraphic stations are erected at dit
ferent points on the coast, and the inspec
tors cause daily notice to he given of the
appearance and position of each shoal
Field telegraphs are kept in readiness
to be joined on TO the main line, and thus
the slightest movement of the shoals is
carefully watched and communicated and
it is curious sight TO witness the sudden
exodus of thousands of fishermen with
their train of buyers, salters, &c, with
boats, barrel appliances. fastening to dis
tant place at the call of the wire The
men seem to prize highly this valuable
coadjutor, and when the catch Is chiefly
attributable to its agency they call the
fish telegraph herrings.' And thus the
benefit likely to accrue from the use of the
telegraph is incalculable.

OLD FOLKs.-The entire lumber of per-
sons who, according to the census, have
attained the age of 100 years and upward,
Is probably somewhat larger than most of
our readers would guess. 1t is just l 200.
OF these there are: white 40, black 8SS,
mulatto 40, Idlans 20. Women attain high
longevity in greater numbers then men,
and black people more than white. There
are white: males 1874, females $50; black:
males 295, females $685. The proportions
are about the same in the different years
above 100 as in the aggregate. The Oldest
persons are white woman III South Caro-
lima and an Indian woman in California,
aged 40 years. The oldest blacks-two
males and three females-are 100 years
From these advanced years. down 10 100,
there are persons in every successive year
AT 10 there are 80 white and 113 black;
at 100 there are white and 81 black In
proportion To numbers, twelve times as
many blacks as whites exceed 100 years Of
age BY the best calculations made, it is
ascertained that the average duration of
human life is greater in the United States
than in any other nation.
