The Oneida Community.

A correspondent of New York
paper gives the following sketch
Of the "Christian Perfectionists,"
near Oneida, Madison county.
They were organized nearly
twenty years ago, yet the public
generally IS quite ignorant as to
the particular tenets and domestic
system Of these strange people.
Says the writer -
"The community number about
two hundred and fifty; twenty
five are under fourteen years Of
age. Property. and persons are
held in common. No one Of him
self owns anything. The location
is one of the most beautiful of the
land. It embraces six hundred
acres in the choice Oneida Valley.
The grounds are finely laid out.
The principal residence is Of brick,
three stories high. Besides the
central mansion, there are five
large buildings. One is used for
q general dining hall, and others
for canning fruit and various
industries. They have invented
much valuable machinery. All
eat in one large hall, at many
tables. They provide neither tea
nor coffee, and seldom meat. Veg
etables, fruit, milk, butter, cheese,
cakes, puddings and pies are abun-
dant. They have a fine library
and take the newspapers. Their
religious faith is peculiar. They
claim to be successors Of the Apos-
ties, to whom was promised the
speedy second advent of Christ.
They say that Christ did appear
after the destrustion Of Jerusalem,
when there: was a Judgment in the
spiritual world, and the final king
dom in the Heavens began. They
believe that they are in direct
communication with Christ and
the: Resurrection Church in the
angelic world. These things they
say in a literal, not in a fgurative
sense. The marriage relation in
this community is wholly unknown.
Instead there is complex mar.
riage. Each man is the husband
Of every woman who likes him.
Husband and wife have no mean
ing. There are no wedding cere,
monies, for there are no weddings.
Nor arc young persons mates. A
young man must mate with a wo-
man older and more experienced
than he; young woman with a
man older and moro experienced
than she. Love attachments for
individuals are contrary. to their
principles. Only ytwenty-four chill
dren have been born in ten years.
The women wear bloomers and
short hair, and enjoy equal privi-
leges with men. All work ten
hours a day. The leader Mr..
Hamilton. said they should re-es-
tablish marriage, if thought expe-
dient, though, their views would
be unchanged"

A Six Hundred Dollar Dress.

There was opened on Monday
at Alexander T. Stewards, and
displayed for the first time, an cle-
giant trencli walking dress, proba-
bly, the richest and handsomest
ever seen in America. 1t is valued
at six hundred dollars and is for
sale. The petticoat is made of
Bismarck satin, with a -futing of
the same atleast eight inches deep
around the bottom. Over the pct
ticoat there is worn an ovcr-skirt
Of black silk velvet. This over
skirt comes nearly to the bottom
of the petticoat in the back, and
then gracefully curves up towards
the belt upon the right side of the
petticoat, where it opens, display
ing the petticoat. The velvet
over-skirt is cut in deep points,
each one of which is heavily
wrought by hand in beautiful
and elaborate pattern composed of
silk and jet beads mingled. The
points Of the over-skirt are heavily
trimmed with a bead fringe, and
the skirt, is lined with black silk.
Where the over-skirt opens upon
the right side there hangs from
the belt a handsome Swiss pocket
made Of velvet, and lined with
Bismarck satin, cut and trimed to
match the skirt. ;AZouave jacket
made Of Bismarck satin, with
sleeves, is made to be worn with
the petticoat, This is elaborately
trimmed with satin and the sleeve
is tight like a coat sleeve. A black
velvet vest, cut and trimmed in
and wrought in the same manner
is made to wear over the jacket.
Over the whole is thrown velvet
sacque, with flowing sleeves,
trimmed and wrought like the
over skirt. The sacque is lined
with Bismarck satin, beautifully
quilted; the sleeves are lined with
the same, and narrow row of
futing trims the inside Of the
sleeve. The whole suit is thus
composed Of five separate gar
ments, and when the black velvet
is taken off complete suit of Bis
marck brown is left. The velvet
over-skirt, vest, and saeque can be
worn with any other walking
dress Just as we'll.

HORACE GREELEY's APPRENTICE

HORACE GREELEY's APPRENTICE
SHIP TO THE PRINTING BUSINESS
In the last number Of Mr.. Gree
ley's autobiography in the Ledger,
he gives the following account of
his four years apprenticeship in a
printing Office at Poultncy VT,
the agreement being that he
should serve six months for his
board, and after that have S 40
a year and his board ., -.
"The organization and manage
ment of our establishment were
vicious for an apprentice should
have one master, and I had sue
cession of them, and often two or
three at once. First, our editor
left us next the company broke
up or broke down, as any one
might have known it would !; and
mercantile firm in the village
became owners and managers of
the concern and so we had a
succession Of editors and printers.
These changes enabled me to de-
mand and receive a more liberal
allowance for the latter years of
my apprenticeship but the office
was too laxly ruled for the most
part, and, as to instruction, every
one had perfect liberty to learn
what he could. In fact, as but
two, or at most three persons,
were employed in the printing de-
partment, it would have puzzled
an apprentice to avoid practical
knowledge of whatever was done
there. [ had not been there a
year before my hands were blis-
tered and my back lamed by
working off the very considerable
edition of the paper on and old
fashioned, two-pull Ramage (wood-
en) press-a task beyond my boy
ish strength-and I can scarcely
recall day wherein we were not
hurried by our work. I would
not imply that I worked too hard
yet I think few apprentices work
more steadily and faithfully than
I did throughout the four years
and over of my stay in Poultney.
While I lived at home, [ had al@
ways been allowed a days fishing,
at least once q month. in spring
and summer, and I once went
hunting but / never fshed, nor

GENUINE VITA distinguished
Southern lady, who is the wife of
a prominent and extreme Radical,
residing in one Of the Northern
States, while engaged in plucking
the gray hairs from her husbands

"What are you doing, my dear ?"
"Only carrying out your own pol

for the benefit Of the Blacks" was
the witty reply.

The EFFECTS OF REcoNsTRUc-
TIoN.-The New York World pub
fishes nearly eight columns oflet-
ters from it's Southern correspon-
dencc, giving the details of the
ruin, despair, poverty and law
lessness which the radical conspi-
racy to curse that section with
negro domination has already Wis
tied upon q once fertile and pros
porous country. These shocking
accounts Of the effects of negro
Generalization, brutality and saw
agery show that Russia has not
visited upon Poland, nor Turkey
upon Crete, such merciles punish
ment as radicalism has inflicted
upon the Cotton States: The re-
fined and diabolical cruelty of ma
king the brutal slaves ofyesterday
the masters Of to-day, has been
followed by consequences as fatal
and speedy as those which ensue
from administering deadly poisons.
In some sections of the South, the
negroes have taken to the woods
as outlaws and banded together
for the destruction Of property. In
others they have collected armies
Of eight hundred armed despera-
does, and are threatening towns
with sack and rapine. Every
where they are fully armed, and
under the control Of incendiarics

Taken as a class, women can
contrive more outlandish and ugly
fashions than one would think pos
sible without the gift of inspiration.
Take, for Instance the waterfall.
First, it represented a bladder of
Scotch snuff; next it hung down a
woman's back like canvas covered
ham ; afterward it contracted, and
counterfcited a turnip on the back
Of the head now it sticks straight
out behind, and looks like a wire

bonnet like a jockey saddle on a
