S3uttern slave auctions ?"-M Y. En.
press, Aug. 2OM 1861.
TlGIfT BREEcIIRs.-W We have
not been backward on many
occasions in lashing the follies
into which that inexornble mis-
tress of the female sex, fashion,
leads 50 many of it's votaries.
Such being the case we deem
it but fair that the following
defense Of woman and attack
on the stcrner sex by one Of
the laironc should finI its place
IN our columns, remarking that
She has q very justidca Of the
ludlcrous and that the men
folks get no more than they
deserve. llcur what she SAYS:
"The press has never been re-
miss i'll dcprccating the follics
Of the female SEX, upon occa-
sion, in style Of female apparel
but the solemn fact that the
popinjay style Of brecches now
III vogue, is more ridiculous
than anything the women ever
wore, is unnoticed. Female
lovclincss is such that it can
make charming any extreme
fashion but what length Of
familiarity, pray heaven, can
ever make tolcrablc, much less
comoly, the dexter appcndages
of q human crane, wound about
with cloth SO tightly as to stop
the circulation?
The present style Of panta-
looms is neither comfortable,
comcly nor economical. The
"swclP' that adopts it can neith-
er stoop nor sit down without
positive danger of an exposure
of his person from ruptures
caused by tension.
When we see these fashion
ablcs of the male pursuasion in
the street, we are reminded Of
the eXhortation Of the raw
boned, Informed preacher when
illustrating the wonders of
creation. Raising his long,
skinny arms high above his
head, he exclaimed, "God made
this frame" A voice in the
congregation replied, "then his
tools were mighty dull.'
llcre comes q six foot gallant
with number ten boot and q
figure Like . pair Of tongs.
There is not enough Of his legs
to make a shadow, and he
walks as if each boot was u
double bass viol. BY his side,
perhaps, is another dcvotce of
the same style, half Ills length,
whose makeup reminds one of
the plum pudding perchod on
the handle of pair Of pinch
ers. There go the extremes Of
folly, and ;he very cscencc Of
ludicrousness. Nothing a wo-
man ever wore will compare in
folly with tight breeclles on a
bandy-legged human biped.'
| FAILING EYES. Persons suf.
fering from dyspepsia, or any
other malady, must take care
OF their eyes. Any disease i'm
pairs the strength, and the ner-
vous system is depressed and
when laboring under this form
of depression the eye is pcrticu-
larly liable to become weak.
The reason Of this is, that "of
the ten nerves which so off from
the brain, six are disturbed
wholly, and the other tour par
TALLY, to the eye" Through
the great sympathetic nerve the
disturbed stomach, or liver, or
lntcstlnes, communicate with
telegraphic speed with the
brain, and SO with the eye.
The advice to be given with re-
ference to the comfortable use
OF the eyes undoubtedly is, to
keep the intestines, liver and
stomach in a healthy condition,
in other words, do everything to
confirm the general health. IF
