HCENTIOUs FASHIONS.

1t Is remarkable fact, says writer,
that the most over dressed epochs of civ
ilization have been the most hcentiOus.
The question forces itself upon the mind
of the observing man as he passes along
the principal promenades, says the New
York Times, SIS not this an epoch of the
overdressed, and is it not icentiOus !?
Modesty has given way to meretricious
display, and pride of appearance has de-
generated into conspicuous formalities
which once were confined to the cOurte-
san. The stranger would not believe
that our money is less than par value, or
that the industrious are without employ
ment The prevailing weakness is dis
pIay, from the matron and maid to the
commonest servant If the costly and
rare goods cannot be had there is pro-
fusion Of the imitation, which, to the
uneducated eye, affords equal satisfac-
ton. How all this show Is maintained
is a question for the leisure of moral
;sts and economists. LicentiOusness has
to do some of it, no doubt If so, is
there a limit beyond which it may not
so?
Well, we beg leave to ask, what Is the
remedy? We have become worried
with the incessant growing at 1.-THE puerile
stupidities and the destructive fooleries
of the fashionable. What is the use
of fretting about it? If there is a rene
dy, out with it, adopt it, and be done with
it.
1t is pleasant for journals Ofpecunious
designs to pander to morbid passion for
such kind of platitudes as we are all the
time hearing and reading about the gen
tility of our large cities, but what does 1t
all amount to if there be no help for 1t
We gave the other day an account of a
Women's Convention at Stuttgart, Ger
many, for the purpose of adopting such
STYLES of dress as are most convenient,
and holding on to them rs long as the
material will last-but we venture TO say
that nine>tenths ofthe ladies who are in
terested in that movement are too i'm
pecunious to afford the richness and the
eternal changes prescribed by that
French demon known as the Goddess OF
Fashion.

4 MOMAN ON FIRE.

From the Leavenworth Commercial Oct q
Yesterday afternoon a cOlOred man was
walking along the bank of the river, on
the Reserve, when he heard screams OF
"Pull it off of me" pull it off, and has
tening in the direction, discovered a 70 :
male wrapped in flames, her clothing be-
ing a perfect blaze Of fire With her was
drunken soldier, too intoxicated to
render any assistance, and the cOlOred
man grasped her apperel, tore 1t of, and
thus saved her life. The man states that
she was very badly burned from her waist
to her head, and he FASTENED to town and
procured physician and city official who
accompanied him to the scene of the sim
gular occurrence, but on their arrival
found she had left. The soldier was still
there, however, and the cOlored man )
statement was verified, in that he had
compelled the soldier to give her his
blouse to hide her nakedness, and
nieees of her dress were also found. 1t
seems they had gone there, built lire
and by some means her clothes caught OF
FIRE; hence her screams, attracting assist
ance, which in all probability saved hel
from d horrible death.

rDrC.YIoNOFOw MAN IN RUssIA.

Russia is likely before long to afford to
women s Ich educational facilities as are
being put in their way in Western Eu-
rope. For some years the lectures at
the University of st Petersburg were
open to the public, and a good many
women, among others, attended them;
But the university was remOdeled, and
under the new regulations women were
excluded. Thus the only subject which
they could now study in public was that
of medicine, for the medical faculty it st
Petersburg forms a separate academy, ms
dependent.of the university. Recently,
however, very large number Of women
have written to the university authorities,
begging permission to attend the lectures,
especially IN philOlOgy aud natural
science, and Offering to pay the usual
fees. 1t is thought that the desired ar
engagements can be affected, the profess
so.s stating their willingness, and that a
large number Of women will at once be
come students.-TheR Round Table

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 3l.-The Tribune's
New Orleans special of the 3Q,h, says that
on investigation it is found that the ne
proes at ST. Bernard killed no women or
children as reported, and but one man who
had just killed negroes. About fifty ne
groes were killed in the parish. A reign
Of terror exists to-day. The Attorney
General obtained an enjoinment against
Mayor Conway from organizing the Rebel
police. General Rousseau has been in-
.irucied by the Secretary of War that he
can't avoid the responsibility Of preserving
the peace.
The city Is more quiet. The Demo
cratic press is growing over the result,
The Times and Bulletin demand that the
Mayor and Council resign, because they
failed 10 disperse the Metropolitan po-
lice. Only two colored men were killed
here. Several houses were sacked last
night.
