Since the present style of tiltereens has thrown
80 much light upon all the mysteries Of woman's
underdress, we feel at liberty to make mention of
Madame Demores's new Stocking Suspender, and
to commend it to the attention of all who are in the
habt of wearing garters. The objection to garters
II that, by COMPRISING the leg, they impede the
circulation of the blood and thus lead to many ills
that afiict the genler sex, who are by virtue of
their greater deicacy more injured by such things,
than harder men are. The stocking Suspender re-
quires 1--WE are quoting Madame Demorest on this
point simply to be fastened by the holder to the
top ofthe stocking, and the opposite or looped end

New York City.
1t is instructive to contemplate the proportions
Of such monster city as the metropolis of our
country. The recent publication of the first annu-
al report Of the Registrar Dr. Harris gives us
some interesting statistics The population of the
city is about 100000. The number of deaths is
over 2l, 1000, Of which 900 are males and 10000
females There were born in the year $500 chill
dren and Of these nearly third died before they
reached the first anniversary of their birth No
where else in the christian world is there known
such infant mortality. About 10000 marriages
have taken place. Unmarried men and women die
faster than married ones. The most prolific cause
of disease and death is the unventihted condition
of the tenanthouses.

L has been an accepted truth, almost an axiom,
with the world and even with our own people, that
southern women are physically indolent and want
ing in energy.
Nous atoms change tout celia.
Either the automatic dictum is false, or the new
state of society obtaining in the South has wrought
a change in this respect We have an example, to
illustrate. Two young ladies, whom we wot of,
residents Of our little city, have recently in passing
from one point in the country to another in ordina-
ry travel, walked in one day fourteen miles; and
did so from choice. They have been delicately
reared, and are accustomed to the ease and indo-
lence Of city life. No fatigue or exhaustion fol-
lowed. but the parties found themselves ''brisk,
gay. and famous next morning and have already
on hand similar feat within few weeks, and also
a protracted pedestrian tour among the Blue Ridge
Mountains this SUMNER to extend through one or
Two month";
We shall be pleased to ochronicle similar evidences
Of woman's vim and independence of superanua-
ted axioms.

N. P Willis poet, ictionist, essayist, and edi-
tor, - died at Idlewild on the Hudson River, Sun
day the 20th aged sixty years exactly, the day of
mis- death being the anniversary of his birth. Mr..
Willis always stood well at the South, both as
poet and as journalist; though about the begin
hing of the war, when the public mind at the South
vas abnormaly sensitive, good deal of asperity
appeared in some comments upon his letters about
var matters But his heart was good and his
,en has traced some of the most genial and noble
tributes to erring and unhappy genius that we have
,ver read. He has touched our own heart with his
,athos often, and often amused our fancy with the
portive and graceful play of his own; and our
,eart says with its most earnest sincerity: Peace
