Hon T. L. woooTRIpGE.-w have seen II
stated In some Vermont paper that there were
efforts being made in the district now ably
represented in Congress by the gentleman
whose name stands at the head OF this article
ITO supplant him BY the nomination OF some
| new man.
We allude to this subject here and now for
particular purpose, anl not 80 much on Mr.
| Woolbridgc's account; for we have exchanged
| no word with him, and have no means of
knowing whether he Is really DESTROYS TO be
returned or not. 1t does seem to US, however,
and this Is the point that we desIre to make
that this d!splacIuG ola thoroughly competent
and useful mIn upon the ground that some.
body else, or some nan In another portion of
the district wants, or is entitled to, the place
is neither wise nor lulicious. This notion is
proLlclted upon the principle that Offices are
created for men and not for the State, and that
a wise, capable, Intelligent legislator must be
turned aside TO make room for some new
conner because he desires the place, and thinks
| 1t his turn, and 10 satiRcl that Il belongs to
| his county.
We have watched Congress for many years,
and we state what we know, and what both
observation and experience has taught us,
that able and JuliclOuI Legislators arc not
made IN day.
| lAOugh We nave detected Mr, NOOuDflirC's
name as the caption OF this article, we INTENDED
to discuss principle, rather thHn to dwell
upon the personal and statesmanlikc chRrac
teristics OF the man himself!
Mr. Woodbridge has been in CoEgre1s fol
several years, and all the while has beer
steadily rising, and now stands among The
foremost men in the House. He has gained
this position by his own talents, worth, indus
try, and good sense The loss OF such man
In these times, from the national halls Of leg
islltion, can be lily afforded, either BY his dis
tFlct or by the nation.
Mr.. Woodbridge is a very efficient and use
full member OF the judiciary Committee, aaI
also OF other important committees. He /
more OF a worker than speaker, though Ia
sometimes addresses the House, but he neve
speaks unless he has something to say. H.
is, as q speaker, always fluent, clear, and co
!. gent, not unfrcquently eloquent, and inyaris
bly, commands the attention OF the House. lie
is a sound Republican, wise and an expert
enced legislator, and an honest man. We trus
that his district will return him, both for thei
sake and the good of the country.

An Ugly old Fashion and n Comiesi
New one.

Young ladies, Of course, never dip
snuff; old ladies, however. do. But the
fashion in this region has almost van
ished, for tits very seldom nowadays one
sees an old lady with 4 swab In her
mouth, and her lips stained With the caus'
tic powder. Occasionally We get a
glim pse at one 10 the country; but never
in the city, except an antiquated dame,
who rubs her gums with the ladle for
amusement, as a child rubs It's teeth with
a crabs claw.
The taking of snuff became fashionable
Ia France about the time Of Catherine
de Medeci. II was used by physicians
as a sternutatory; but Il became it'll,
lating dust among courtiers, who scented
il with bergamot, cloves and mint
II was not used in England up to
Elizabeth's time, as that great OBJ
server Of fashions, Shakespeare, says
nothing about IT, But ladies' visit
ing the Court Of Charles | used their
snuff.ladles; and even the Puritans,
the denouncers Of all kinds Of vanities,
INDUCED in mundungus Addison and
Pope sneered at snuff-takers; neverthe
less dirty mouths continued TO be an or
nament. Steele burlesqued the practice
in the Tdtier by laying down rules Tor
offering snuff to q stranger or friend,
according to the degree Of familiarity or
distance, with an explanation OF the care
less, the scornful, the polite, and the
surly dip. But the Spectator stigmatized
it as IAN impairment custom adopted
by fine women, and equally disgusting
whether practiced sedaiely or coquettish-
IT," One took 1t, it was said, as often as
salt with her meals; another used 1t
only as means of displaying her pretty
hands. The snuff box, beautifully orpa-
mented, was as regular an adjunct OF the
fine lady's toilet as her fan; and we are
told the thorough paced woman OF fash
ion pulled out her box in the middle OF
sermon and when she dropped her
money into the collection.plate, asked the
churchwarden to take dip.
"By snuff assisted ladies killed the day,
And breathed their scandal freely Ger their tea
One dip Of snuff relieved the yspoured head.
Removed the spleen, removed the qualmish Mt,
And gave brisker turn to female w.t."
Alackaday the old fashion has nearly
disappeared /; butin its place we have the
Grecian bend, which, if it don't smear the
lip, turns the body into the form of a
triangle. Any smart young fellow might
study trigonometry new on the SIDE
walk, as we'll as learn something about
ouadrilaterals. During this reign Of high
heel boots and bumps" we'll certainly
find out something worth knowing in
