"nOt quite genteel.r The riddle is easily read.
OF her purity, the Yankee girl is secure; OF
her social standing, she is generally very
doubtful. 1t is matter which depends on
the build of her chignon as much as her
fathers record on Change, or the hight OF
her genealogical tree. The English woman,
on the contrary, il born on tolerably firm
social footing of some sort or other. That
there is any necessity for guarding her repu-
tation behind the triple bars of conventional
restraint and prOprioty, we do not believe,
despite all the damning evidence of Mordaunt
trials or Saturday Repiecs. We have not lost
the old fashioned faith in our fathers British
wives and daughters though the very iron
prisons of propriety to which Mr. Mccarthy
alludes tend to discredit it with most observ-
ers. The virtue which requires arnor, one is
apt 70 suspect, must be i'll able to defend itself.
We commend Mr.. McCarthy's article to our
women Sincere and friendly criticism, whether
Just or not, is seldom found and always help
full; and besides this recommendation, suffrage
and political matters in general have appar-
emily lately thrust the subject of manners en-
tircly out of feminine brains. 1t may do no
harm to suggest it again to them gently. We
are quite willing they should attend TO the
weigbtier matters of the law but the minor
courtesies. the softer graces of winning man
ners and winning words, the tithcs of mint,
anise. and cumin that they were wont 10

sweet odors, and very grateful to our Souls

Cannot our Canadian friends possess their
souls in patienceP They are forever vexing
themselves about the question of Annexation,
whenever their dissatisfied citizens raise the
question of independence. Why not confne
themselves to the latter That is a matter over
which they have exclusive control; the con-
sideration of it is every way proper for them
But two sides and two countries would have
something to say on the subject of Annexation
If they will have the goodness to let it alone
till we seek to discuss it, they will find them
selves suddenly endowed with unlimited
leisure for considering the sole and single
subject of independence.

The yachts Dauntless and Cambria have
begun their race across the ocean, the former
having the start. The brief dispatch which
announces this states that the Cambria is sure
10 be the victor if the weather is rough. This
is mere speculation, of course The Cambria
is doubtless a rough weather vessel, but in a

The report of the Tax Commissioners yes
terday. submitted to the new Board of Super
visors, shows that the increase in the value of
New-York real and personal estate for the
last Ten years is only s83,169,SS5. This is a
smaller increase than most persons familiar
with the rapid advance of the city in poplla-
ton and the more rapid advance in the prices
of city lots have supposed the official state
ments would reveal It should be remem-
bered, however, that this increase has been in
spite of disastrous war and of rates of taxa
ton which would have deferred capitalists
from investments in almost any other city
than the metropolis.

The Senate dances forward and back as alb

Staten Island property-owners are becoming
interested in little job put up for them by
the late Democratic Legislature, whose exordium
and perOratiOn was "nO special legislation"
Tn the darkness of some midnight session, an
act was passed appointing Commissioners
"o prepare and submit to the Legislature plan Tor

avenues, and parks, and means OF transportation ANU
communication and from said island ana iof tha Pu

to eulipltcn and aid legislation the subject anH
TO take testimony and procure evidence and
10 make fun report recommending such legislation as
they NAV deem desirable and expedient"
Probably not ten men on Staten lsland, OUT
side of the Tammany Ring, ever heard OF this
act until months after its adoption. The OBJ
iect of the law is to subject the entlre lanueu
estate of Richmond County to the rapaclouS
greed of the Ring; the plan is to present
next Winter some plausible scheme 1or I'M
movement" (Which means "robbery), that

boulevards at Tottenville will be punished by
having a highway cut through his garden or
his house. Possibly somebody may know who
these Commissioners are; all we have heard
of them is that they are quarreling already,
and agree upon nothing. If they continue to
agree to disagree, Staten Island property
owners may well rejoce-until the next raid

Earl Granville in the British Foreign Office
Is poor comfort for British Colonial subjects
He is fully committed to the policy of forcing
the Colonies into independence, or at least of
placing them in position in which they shall
have no claims, in time of trouble, to the help
of the mother country. The Colonies do not
now recognize that such policy is the best for
them as also for England, but they will not
be slow in realizing it after independence is

The stupid boat-race on the Mississippi, over
which the Western people have been excited
to wager several hundred thousand dollars,
has resulted, fortunately, without loss of life.
We suppose that there will be, consequently,
no protest against this outrage. Nevertheless,
il is not the less an outrage, any repetition of
which ought to be prohibited and prevented.

Hints abOnt Velvet,

The thick pile velvet of blue black cast
IS recommended for cloaks, as the pile is
not easily dattened, and the color does
not turn rusty brown, as German velvet
is apt TO do.
Sailor Jackets, basques and paletots with
many seams may be made of maroon vel
vet from twenty-one inches to three-feurths
of yard wide.
Circulars and casaques, With the fash
lonabie full tournure, require material
thirty-two inches wide. Three yards make
a casaque, three and half to four yards O.
circular. ... a.a -.-..-0.
The elegant trimming of the year for
velvet is band of ostrich feathers heading
lace; this effective but frail trimming is ex-
pensive. ...e -, ra
French cloaks are trimmed with the du-
rabe guipure lace.
Hand made trimmings are less intricate
this season.
stylish trimming for blue black velvet
is coal black faille in inch bands, piped with
three tiny folds of satin stitched in at the
top Of the band. -E - -
Another neat trimming is two narrow
trills of faile in small piaits all turned one
way and edged with Tom Thumb fringe.
Satin IS only used as pipings and cords,
or occasionally in shell ruches.
In mid winter the lace trimmings on vel
vet garments will be replaced by broad
bands of sable or Astrakhan
Chenille fringe and heavy drop fringes
are used on velvet, likewise fringe of de-
tached tassels with square heads three inch
es wide a-r - .-

FEMALE lNTEMPERANCE IN LONDON
London coroner gives sad account of the
doings of English ladies of the higher
classes. AT recent inquest he declared
that downright intemperance was one of
their common and bese ting vices. He
knew, he said, numberless instances where
these ladies never sat down to dinner, in
their own houses or elsewhere, until they
had brought themselves to state of almost
inebriety by frequent drains during the day.
Some, he said, resorted to ether or eau de
Cologne, or sundry new chemical stimulants
while others brought themselves up to
company mark by means of the sherry de.
canter or brandy bottle. These are hard
things to say, but the coroner did not mince
the matter ut all, and said that the evil had
assumed such a magnitude that it was time
for somebody to speak out. Of course his
boidness has brought all the hornets OF the
press about his head, but it is to be feared
that there is too much truth in his state
mentS,

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE ON THE NORTH
RIVER The terry boat which left the slip
at Hoboken for Barclay street, i'll this city,
at 9:l5 last evening, was the scene of a
melancholy suicide. When the boat had
reached the middle OF the river woman
of more than ordinary beauty, elegantly
attired. leaped from the bow of the boat
into the river. She was caught in the
wheel, and must have been horribly mang-
led. Her body descended forever beneath
the waves in the presence of a number Of
horror-strickon passengers, who had been
apprised of the occurrence before it could
be prevented. She had been observed by
the pilot of the boat upon it's bow, but he
did not divine her intentions until after she
had taken the fatal leap.
AS soon as she had done so, the boat was
stopped and prep arations made to rescue
her, but before these could be made effect
i've her fate had been decided. She sat in
the ladies' cabin for some while before 60
ing TO the place from which she leaped and
during that time her conduct was so eccen-
trio and betrayed SO much agitation as to
elicit remark. She divided her attention
between ring which she had upon the
fourth finger of her left hand and a letter
which she had drawn from her pocket Her
going out of the cabin before the boat
reached the pier was remarked as singular,
but unfortunately none of her fellow-pass-
engers followed her.--N z. Tins, 11th.
