counts of grand wedding which was celebra-
ted in London on the 23d ult, between Earl
Percy, the eldest son of the Duke of North
umberland, and Lady Edith Campbell, ell

families made quite a sensation in the me-

SHERMAN.

Some Astute Criticisms on Female Apparel.
1t will be seen, from what we are about to re-
late, that the General, although immersed
almost head over ears in matters pertaining to
the military condition of the country, has yet
not lost sight entirely of society and its reforms.
Let skeptics scoff-but Sherman nevertheless is,
and most likely ever will be, weak when a
woman confronts him with petition. He would
rather face a battery than refuse them This is
the latest relative to his last interview with little
Doctress Walker, which the Cincinnati COM
naercidl reports. She petitioned for place, and
he like great soldier, changed his tactics in
the face OF the enemy.
That Toggery.
why don't you wear proper clothing? That
toggery is neither one thing nor the other" said
the General, as he pointed his finger to the nom
descript garb of the doctor.
"Well, General" replied the young woman,
Il suppose you would like to see me in hoops
and heavy skirts dragging down my hips, to the
destruction of health and comfort? What right,
sir, have women, who bear children, thus to de-
stroy their best powers and unfit themselves to be
wives and mothers! 7"
This and much more, she said about woman's
reforms
The conqueror of Atlanta was somewhat taken
aback by this charge of horse, foot, and dra-
goons but he plucked up courage.
Did You Ever!
did you ever bear any children 2" he asked,
with sardonic emphasis.
She had to admit that she had not done any
| thing of the kind
The General added severely
II don't know that should especially desire
| to see you, hoops or no hoops, nor do see any
| need that women should he Injured by wearing
| them, or the moderate use of the costume of the
| day; but do know for certainty that you and
| such as you put on that dress from affectation.
| If you wish an example of what n woman should
| be and ought to do-Damnation," cried the
| General, getting excited, what are you here for
/ ANYHOW? Breeches or no breecheS, the Presi-
| dents wife would not dare TO disobey orders.
| Put on decent clothes, go back to Nashville,
| enter the hospitals where our poor boys are
| dying of wounds and fever, and Initiate the eX-
| ample of the women in hoops and petticoats,

nursing"

Return orPoweII, the Colorado ExpIor


CHICAGO, Sept 21.-Colonel j. w. Powell,
the Colorado explorer, returned to this city yes
terday morning, having successfully travelled
the entire grand canon from Queen river, the
point where Colorado debouches into an open
plain, in the Territory of Arizona, from the point
where Colonel Powells last letter was written.
The expedition descended over about four hun
dred miles between walls almost vertical rang
ing from five hundred to fifteen hundred feet in
height, the exterior of the canon being from
twenty-five hundred to four thousand feet above
the bed of the river More than two hundred
waterfalls and cascades, emptying themselves
over the walls of the canon into the main river.
were seen in this district presenting almost
every variety of natural scenery and geological
formation. The canon consists principally of
limestone, sandstone, and granite, found only at
three places, and in limited amount
No discoveries of precious metals were made,
and no indications of gold or silver found in the
bed of the river. One section of the canon was
proved to consist of very fine and beautifully
polished marble, which is at present entirely in
accessible. The country traversed was barren
beyond description and is pronounced by
Colonel Powell not susceptible of cultivation,
even by irrigation.

dry and pleasant days, a thunder storm occurred
on Sunday night, putting the grain in shock
back to its former wet condition.
