WHO'S mER TAILOR.

w nos your attel Is an eX-
preston frequently used among the
cockneys in England, but "whoIs
your tailor" win soon become an
anxious inquiry among our women,
if Mrs. Elizabeth Anthony's propo-
sition to adopt masculine habili
ments is received with any favor.
Who is Mrs. Cady Stanton's tailor,
We should like to inquire, or has
she yet selected any2 There are
different grades of workmen in the
tailoring business, and there are
artists as well as bunglers connect
ed with this most useful occupa-
ton. Ladies of taste will most
likely insist upon wearing the most
stylish Of garments, and will prob
ably be as particular about the cut
of their breeches as they now are
about the style of their dresses and
mantillas. They must follow the
fashion, and it will not do for them
if they desire TO emulate their hus-
bands, fathers and brothers in APP
pearance, to wear peg tops when
tight pants are the fashion. The
ladies of the ballet, and the blonde
performers of burlesque will natu-
rally take to tights at once, but it is
to the followers of Mrs. Stanton in
general that we tender the above
piece Of advice. The ladies cannot
exercise too much care as to the
artist whom they patronize, and
they should commence the study
Of the gentlemen's fashion plates at
once
AS was suggested to US by coTn
respondent a few days since, poor
families will gain considerably by
the adoption Of the breeches. Hus-
band and wife can wear the same
garment, and if there is but one
pair of breeches in the family, one
of the two can remain at home in
state of diShaJile while the other
takes the air. In families of more
means, too, little girls can inherit
their older brothers Knickerbock-
ers, and can carry their dolls in the
pockets of these articles. The la
dies, also, can carry their knitting
work and their sewing in these con-
venient recesses, which can be
made capacious enough for that
purpose. Fancy the colors that
will be in vogue for pants when the
glorious period advocated by the
strong minded arrives! Pink and
yellow, one leg of each, or blue and
straw color, and Magenta and green
will be practicable. We cannot ex-
pect the ladies TO forego their taste
for colors, even at the bidding of
Mrs. Stanton.
But the style is everything, after
all, and we advise the fair members
of the strong minded order to select
their tailor without loss of time.
Can Madame Demorest or Worth
be prevailed upon to undertake this
new branch Of mantua making? At
all events the subject is a moment
Gus one, for, according to Mrs.
Stanton, all the ills which female
flesh is heir to are to be cured by
the adoption of the bifurcated gar,
= ments, and, such being the case
no time should be lost in preparing
for the desirable change.

INCIDENT NO. III.
During this very hot season, the
prison was infested with all manner
of disease, and many of the SOL
diers (prisoners) were wounded
when captured hence, the number
of deaths ranged from ten to fifty
per day. At this juncture, some
little matter had occurred amongst
the prisoners, creating displeasure
with the officers of the guard
About ten o'clock, one day, twelve
hundred men, taking them as they
come, regardless of the sick and
wounded, were ordered out in the
broiling hot sun; fifty were march
ed to the front, facing southwark,
fifty others marched up just behind
the first fifty, with the toes of the
rear rank against the heels of the
front rank, and so on until the
whole twelve hundred we're in po-
sition, when the order, "Close up,
front rank stand firm was given
and Obeyed until the twelve hun
dred men were almost one solid
mass of suffering human beings.
In that tiresome, packed, restless,
horrid condition, they stood, wait
ing to hear their doom. At length
Lieut.. Farocion cold Bull" the
hero of incident No. ], stepped for
ward and read the order of the day.
These twelve hundred men were TO
stand in the condition | have just
described twelve hours, perfectly
motionless were neither 10 sit
down, turn around, in fact, move,
during the whole twelve hours.
Considering the condition physi-
cally the men were in, and the ma
ture of the order, of course, it was
well known the order could not be
obeyed. In order to enforce this
unreasonable punishment, a strong
guard was posted around the pris-
oners-perhaps the sentinels were
not more than eight feet apart. The
orders to the guard were that in
every case, where one or more of
the prisoners moved in the least, TO
fire, Unfortunately, into the mass.
When the prisoners had been stands
ing about two hours, one of the sick
men tainted and fell, when volley
after volley was fred into the mass
of prisoners. There were three
killed outright and several wounded.

this ? Has Lieut.. Farocion been

lected on the aftsrguard, with the
flames kissing and cracking behind
them, and watery grave before
them. Every movable thing was thrown
overheard, and many men jumped over
board and found watery graves, fighting
for something to float on. Here fathers
could be seen hunting for their wives and
children, wives for their husbands, and
children for their parents, amid the
shrieks and cries of the excited crowd.
As the flames approached all Of the men

over sixty persons had persisted: The
steamer Dixie, Captain Thornton Jacobs,

assistance with her skiff in picking up
persons floating in the water. Messrs.
Swain and Lodwick staid at the wheel
