PUBLISHED AT 155 BROAD STREET, by
J. MADISON DRAKE.

The FASHIONS "A dress of straw
colored poult de sole and another of
blue glace silk shot with white are both
elegantly trimmed with white lace A
mantelet of the same lace covering the
bodies, is fastened round the waist with
wide ribbon sash of the color of the
dress.
Berries mixed with clusters of roses
and their buds are just now offered for
the adornment of ladies at watering
places, not natural, of course, but direct
from Paris, which is better.
A few combs are worn for plain dress
tortoise shell been the favorite for
blonde, and fire gilt, notified with
black, being worn in dark hair.
For evening, coiffures of the finest
white lace are worn by matrons, natural
flowers when they can be procured,
being the most desirable ornament for
young ladies.
One, two or three long curls are worn
hanging from beneath the chigpon,
either at the left side or arranged I'M
derneath.
For ornamenting the hair, the mar
ried ladies wear, for morning, simplest
little squares of Tarletan, or sheerest
linen cambria, with narrow frill quill
led OF edged with Valenciennes.
Though English fashions are every
where condemned, and an English
lady of style is an actual "dowdy" by
the side of a simple Parisienne there is
something about an English hat that
reminds one of fragrant lanes and bios
soming hedges. 1t may be called
strictly pastoral.
One or two kinds of hats of English
straw. intended for the watering places,
are low-crowned, with quite brim,
and trimmed with sprays of wild flow
ers.
Foulard dresses-delightfully cool to
wear-are suitable for young persons.
They are trimmed with Fittings, edged
round with narrow fringe or Valencien-
mes lace. Long sashes of the same
material are ornamented in the same
manner.

Olive Logan writing from Long
Branch thus naively elucidates the sub
ject of the Lanciers
"There is General Grant, forced by
the peculiar exigencies of his position
to be the cynosure of neighboring
eyes, and to be it while dancing the
Lanciers. Scoffers near by jeer at his
performance, and say, with a chill
:rown, THE idea of electing a man to
the Presidential chair who don't know
how to do so simple thing as dance
the Lanciers !" Now I, who dance the
Lanciers ever since they first appeared
at the Tuileries, here give my protest
against the Lanciers being called sim
pie. In colloquial language, they are
anything but. They demand of you
constant attention just as you think
you have done good deal and may
now take moments respite, in which
to speak word to your partner, you
find yourself jerked and pushed, your
partners back turned upon you, and
some strange person out of the sides,
setting to you with indignant des-
peration. After you have toiled
through number of bewildering figures
you hear an alarming stamping of feet,
everybody is flying around promis-
cuously and shouting into delinquent
ears, Right hand there? What are
you doing? Left hand to that lady
And when at last you think you have
got the hang of it, and are swinging
around the circle like house afire,
giving first right and then left, as you
imagine, very cleverly, your amour
p'opre gets a tremendous blow by
somebody, giving your fingers a fear
full wrench, and whispering hoarsely in
your ear, Always bow to your part
ner 7
at is absolutely unfair that such
men as Grant and Sherman, who have
had other things to do in their lives
besides dancing the Lanciers, should
be forced to do what they evidently
don't like to do, and feel that they do
not cut graceful figure in doing
Louis Napoleon and Eugene, whom I
have seen in open court balls scores of
times, never do it with the Lanciers
They use the plainest, most old-fash-
toned quadrille. Forward four, ladies
change, set to partners, promenade all
round. VoiLa toni. And assure you
Louis Napoleon's game leg stamping
through even so simple thing as this,
is very far from being marvel of grace
or abandon"

it is believed that there is little or no risk of

use Of it as medicine is very different thing
from It's use in health. In cases in which, in
medical parlance, it is indicated, the system is
always, In some of its activities at least, below
the equilibrium of health. There is want
temporarily present which the remedy sup
plies. When the emergency of the system is
past that want no longer exists, and there is
usually no desire for the alcohol. In the case
of persons who have previously been intem-
perate its use as a medicine is scarcely to be
thought of under any circumstances.

desire for them, or reliance upon them, rem.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 8, 1868. dim

AN ELEGANT TURNoUr-We saw at the
factory OF Mr. c. P. Kimball, yesterday, the
most elegant single sleigh il was ever our good
rtune to examine. We think it even excels
in beauty the famous sleigh Mr.. K exhibited
at the State Fair. 1t is Mr.. KS patent cor
rugated pattern, painted imperial green top
and dasher, running work fire white richly
striped with gold and carmine, trimmed with
brown silk velvet, and is rich and elegant in
the extreme. This sleigh was built by Mr.. K.
expressly for Dr. o. Fitzgerald, of Dexter, Me.
The Doctor is well known in all the eastern
part of Maine as one of the best looking men
in the State, and we feel very sure he will
have by all odds, the finest turn out in the
Pine Tree State.-PortlGnd Press, Jan. 6.
To this beautiful sleigh that cost four hun
dred dollars, the Doctor has hitched one of
the most splendid horses in the country, with
gold mounted harness to match, making the
team cost in round numbers nearly two
thousand dollars. But the Doctors wonderful
success fally warrants the outlay. He is one
of the most skillful men in the country, and
is daily performing miraculous cures of the
most terrible diseases that no man can ac-
count for. All afflicted will do well to consult
him at Merchants Exchange, Dexter, Maine.

CNDERELLA.-Of all the pantomimes and
burlesques that are now crowded upon the
stage, to the exclusion of everything else of a
dramatic character, we doubt if any take such
adecided hold upon the public as those found
ed upon the old nursery tales. The children
readily understand and appreciate them, and
the glance of childhood is thrown round
grown persons who, under the influence of the
hour, are once more carried back to the happy
days of youth. l5el
Cinderella reconstructed is worthy of far
more than passing notice, and if we could
only spare the space, which the crowded state
of our columns this morning will not allow,
we should like to go into detail and show how
admirably all the requirements of the piece
have been met by the s. P. Society. We
thought their former pantomimes were won
derfully gotten up and acted, but they have
surpassed themselves on this occasion. The
scenery is, some of it, new, their dresses and
properties all elegant, and the children are as
much at home on the stage as veteran actors.
They had splendid house last night, and Of
one thing they may rest assured that they
lave justly earned reputation in the specta-
cular line of which they may feel proud.

Give ,he Doc,or, n Ch.rce.

So much Is required of the physician that it
Is n" more than fair that his opportunities for
acquiring Information and skill should be, so
far as possible, commensurate with his respon.
s.bilities. 1t is unreasonable to expect of him
such an acquaintance with the delicate and
Complicated machinery of the human body as
to be able to make instant prescription ior
rsmedyipg any arrangements thereof, unless
b has opportunities fol- legitimate study and
observation OF its anatomy and the functions OF
its various parts. We therefore most heartily
a sree with the Argus that the time has come
wHen Maine should follow Massachus,
New York and other States in making go
provision, for the advancement Ia an"'o,0ai
silence The physicians of Maine nave oiten
represented to the Legislature tuaS there is
now no nossible means by which they may le.
u.lIv obtain bodies for dissection, and that the
facilities they ask for are such only as tie exi-
gencies of their profession imperatively de-
maud The pressure of other business at Au-
gusta, certain old-fashioned preiudices and
so ne other very unworthy and unscientific
considerations have hitherto prevented their
request from being granted This winter it is
proposed to make renewed application. The
law which physicians desire, as we under
stand, is so framed as to preclude the possbili-
ty of objection on the ground of inhumanity
or disregard of the rights and feelings of the
poor and friendless. IF it were otherwise, the
Press would be the last to utter word in its
favor, and the first to denoGnce 1t. 1t is not
proposed that the bodies of all persons who
die friendless in public institutions shall be
delivered TO the medical faculty, but only tho
bodies of those who have themselves expressed
no repugnance to such disposal Of their re.
mains as Is contemplated. The wish Of the
inmate of the workhouse OF hospital for burial
after death without dissection is to be an abso-
Lutte veto upon the physicians. Such wish
would no doubt be often expressed, but, on the
other hand, many persons would express the
opposite feeling. OLe of the most prominent
physicians in this city informs us that patients
in the workhouse have often voluntarily ex-
pressed 10 him their desire that their bodies
might be used after death for the advancement
of science; but under the law as it now stands
physicians cannot even avail themselves of
propositions of this kind s4t aa
The old superstition about medical men
that they are ghouls who revel in. corruption
and death and take exquisite pleasure in scut-
ting up dead bodies" is fast dying out. Only
the absolute requirements Of the healing art
are sufficient to overcome the natural repug-
nance which is felt by them in common with
all mankind toward so unpleasant a duty as
dissection. But the world cannot afford to
indulge them or itself in any faint-hearted-
ness In this matter, or to deny them proper IA
eilities for obtaining subjects. -~

Reply Of Medicus 10 Judge Davis.

would rather give all honor to the friends Of
so noble cause. I criticised the course pur-
sued by some of them, chiefly in two respects
first, that they seem disposed to PREJUDICE the
question of the medical use of alcoholic
liquors, which question 1 think can be better
determined by physicians than by any other
class of men, by reason of their peculiar op
portunities for observation; and second, that
they set forth their views with an intemper-
ance of zeal which leads into exaggeration of
statement a5. lr
In illustration of the last point I will cite
the convention letter of the Judge. We find
here two remarkable statements First, "the
practice Of prescribing whiskey or other alco
holic liquors in nearly all forms of disease is
becoming nearly uniUersal" in the profession.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The vetocipede Patent Is the one issued Noyen,-
Der 10th, 1865, to Pierre Lallement, of Paris,
France, the French inventor, and to James
Carroll, of New Haven, Conn. This patent is
very simple and effective. The patent covers
the crank and foot treGdles to front axle and the
guiding arms, dc, irrespective of the number
OF wheels which the machine may have, as
long as they are propelled by crank and foot
treadles and guided by arms-therefore any
Velocipede which combines these peculiarities
is an Infringement. Lallement and Carroll
have sold their patent to Calvin Witty. ESQ, of
New York, and all the large Velocipede manu-
facturers have purchased rights to mapufac-
ture. Mr.. Witty has the most substantial
proof of the perfect validity of his patent and
has within few days refused an offer of $75-
900 for it. q
The other and more recent patents are grant
ed upon minor parts and details connected
with the same principal machine as we'll as
the three and four wheel Velocipedes. By far
the larger portion are for trifiing Improve.
