Americans, and that, too, in an American
city, noted for its wealth and enterprise. A
prison atmosphere would not give an honest
mechanic much relish for his food, be he ever
so hungry, at any other time. 1t has been
shown, too, that the growth of intelligence in
the city during the past ten years is six times

THE FASHIONS.
If strict life in New York is ever gay, it is
on clear, bright, rosy afternoon. The lead

velvet, the dress and jacket trimmed with
rouleaux of the same colored satin, and worn
over blue silk petticOat; mauve veiveteen
with satin spots upon, the dress and Jacket
worn over mauve silk petticoat; and some
handsome black velveteens trimmed with jet

Fifty thousand dollars of additional rewards |
have been offered for the detection of the in |
cendiaries who are bent on burning most of
our public buildings in this city, and many of
the private ones in the more fashionable quar- |

riot and bloodshed, and melting our people |
to civil strife.
