drapery, and partly from lack of proper
exercise which could not be taken while
ttney wore the clothing which fashion and
MEMORABLE custom prescribed.
Crlnoline came and was fought most turl-
ously by masculine wit and masculine pens,
but Its blessings are fully acknowledged
now, and there is not power sufficient even
In fashion to exercise it. The younger
women are vastly superior, physically. and
consequently morally and Intellectually, to
the preceding generation.
There has been, of course, enough gro
tesqueness about the innumerable varieties
OF shape in the hoop to entitle it to a
hearty laughing at now and then. The
utter was simply an abomination, and a
woman must have forgotten much which
she ought to have remembered, to enable her
to wear one without blushing. The trails
are neither graceful or comfortable, and
we believe that their days are numbered.
In consideration of the uses of the hoop,
in bearing the burden of lady's dress, the
subject Of its manufacture has at last re-
eeived the attention which it deserves,
Henceforth these indispensable articles Of
| dress will be manufactured by all respecta'
BILE houses in the United States for their
use and grace alone, and America will
decree the changes of fashion, instead Of
Paris, and all their absurdities will be care
fully omitted.
A standard of ninety inches has been
adopted by all trustworthy establishments
and ranging from that to limit of three
yards, while the length of belt and depth o.
skirt vary in exact proportion. A ninety
inch hoop will be thirty-eight inches deep,
| An eighty.three or five inch hoop will be
shortened in the same ratio, and will be
consequently thirty four inches long, and
the girdle Of prOportionate size.
| There has been serious inconvenience
experienced by ladies because they coulC
not send for hoop by its number, as they
could for corset or glove but all this i
at last obviated, and has lessened the labor
of shopping materially.
One Of our most charming American
poets remarked to US just before his depart
ure to Europe, that putting aside the in
calculable physical blessings Of hoops tC
women, and through them to men, the hooI
bad become as much a portion Of LADY,
beauty as her hair or her color, and ht
| doubted if he could admire one withou
it, and he was quite certain he could MOI
rouse sufficient inspiration to write her 6
sonnet if he met her without crinoline.
We are glad that the future of hoops il
secure, both for the sake of beauty and fol
/ the sake of Woman's health.

The Gulf Stream,

There is river in the ocean; in the
severest dreuths it never fails, and in the
mightiest floods it never overhows its banks;
and its bottoms are OF cold water while its
current is of warm. The Gulf of Mexico is
its fountain, and its mouth is in the Arctic
Seas. 1t is the gulf stream. There is in
the world no other such majestic flow of
water. Its current is more rapid than
the Mississippi or the Amazon, and
its volume more than thousand times
greater. Its waters, as far out from
the gull as the Carolina coasts.
are Of an indigo blue. They are SO dis
tinctly marked that their line of junction
with the common sea water may be traced
by the eye. Often one-half OF the vessels
may be perceived floating in the gulf stream
water, while the other half is in the com
mon water of the sea so sharp is the line.
and such the want OF affinity between those
waters, and such, too, the reluctance, so to
speak, on the part of those of the gull
stream to mingle with the common water
of the sea. The hottest water in the gull
stream is also the Iightest. As it rises to
the top it is cooled both by evaporation
and exposure, when the surface is
replenished by fresh supplies of hot
water from below. Thus in a win
ter's day, the waters at the surface Of
the gull stream off Cape Hatteras NAV
be at eighty degrees; and at the depth Of
500 fathoms 5000 feet, as actual observa-
lions show, the thermometer will stand al
tfty-seVen degrees. Following the stream
thence off the capes Of Virginia, 100 miles
It will be fouRd-the water thermometer
having been carefully noticed all the way
that it now stands degree or two less al
the surface, while below is degree cooler
In other words, the stratum Of water al
fifty-seven degrees, which was 5000 feet
below the surface of Hatteras, has in a
course Of 120 or 130 miles in horizontal
direction assembled vertically 600 feet: that
is, this stratum has run up hill with an
ascent Of five or six feet to the mile One

To the COl0red Men of North Carolina.
Permit me to say to you again, that in few
short weeks you will be called upon to help
choose Standard Bearer to rule this nation for
the next four years. therefore let us all make
up our minds at once who he shall be SO far as
we have voice in our national concerns, and act
SO that we will have no regrets at our course.
Colored men, beware OF false prophets for in
the coming campaign there will be many who
will tell you, it is to your interest to vote with
them.
First, let us find out how they intend voting:
if they vote for Grant and Colfax the advocates
of equal rights and liberty, all will be well but
if, on the other hand, they uphold Seymour and
Blair, tell them they cannot pull the wool over
your eyes, and as to voting that ticket you can't
see it.
Colored brothers, don't change your party, but
vote with and cast your influence with the
Republicans-the party to whom you owe your
freedom and every right you now enjoy and so
long as that party stand by these great principles
OF liberty and equality before the law, there let
had war enough; and by the help of Almighty
God, let US, on the Sd of November next, bind
Seymour and Blair over to keep the peace for
all time to come We can do it, but it requires
work to do it. Make one more effort and place
Grant at the head of our Nation and then we
can enjoy, under our own vine and fig tree, the
blessings of liberty and our children will rise up
and call us blessed Esq
Colored men, l know it is your right to vote
rs you please, and also act as you choose; but
do believe it is best for us to follow the foot
prints of those who have worked for our advance
ment and have suffered for the cause of free
dom. ~ -+ Gag ai.-. EiI7 ''l. - sl
The Republican party is a party of freedom and
equality before the law. The Democratic party
Isl white mans party, and will not permit you
to stand on their platform only as hewers of
wood and drawers of water s,ftt ,..s
Remember Gen. Blair, their candidate for Vice.
PRESIDENT, says the negroes are semi barbarians
Can you support man who says you have no
rights that white men are bound to respect?
Such condition would be worse than the chains
OF slavery from which you have SO lately es-
capped. i-t 81
Grant and Colfax represent the party of equal
ity before the law. Your rights are as sacred
with that party as the rights Of the white man,
and with you remain the choice If you value
freedom, liberty, equality before the law, the
right to own and hold property, to educate and
train your sons and daughters to useful pursuits.
then you must do all in your power to help on
the good work, and secure to yourself and your
children these blessings which God through the
Republican party has given you
On the Bird of next November vote for the
champions of liberty, Grant and Colfax, and in
duce Others to do SO if in your power.
Yours for Grant and Liberty,
