THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD AN
OLD FASHIONED GIRL.

In 1647, the "Simple Cobbler of Aga
wan" wrote in Massachusetts as follows
of the ladies' dresses of that period: 81
can make myself sick at the time with
comparing the dazzling splendor where
wsth our gentlewomen were embellished
in some former habits with the goose
down wherewith they are now surcingled
and debauched. We have about five or
six of them in our colony. If meet any
of them accidentally, l cannot cleanse any
phansie of them for a month after. 1t is
enow to break the heart for to see our good
ly women imprisoned in French cages,
peering out of their hood holes (big bon
nets) for some men of mercy to help
them with little wit, and nobody to re-
lieve them. 1t is no marvel they wear
drdiLes on the hinder part of their heads,
leaving nothing, as it seems, in the fore
port but few squirrels brains to help
them frisk from one ill-favored fashion to
another 1t is no little labor to be con-
tinually putting up English women into
outlandish casks, who, if they be not
shifted anew once in few months, grow
too sour for their husbands. When /
hear a gentle dame inquire what is the
newest fashions of the court, with desire
to be in all haste, whatever it be, look
at her as the very gizzard of a trifle, the
product of the quarter of cipher-the
epitome of nothing"

RELIGIOUS PROVISIONS FOR
THE ARMIES

In the army of the Crown Prince eight
out of every ten are Catholics; they are
from the Catholic parts of the Confedera-
ton, and there are great number in the
other armies. Besides the ordinary chap
lains, land there is one to each regiment,
the Prussian government has accepted
the offers of service by all the priests and
religious who have offered themselves it
mounts them, and gives them the pay and
rations of chaplains. There are many
RedemptOrists and Franciscans, and sew
enty Jesuits acting as chaplains and
nurses, besides four hundred Sisters of
of one Society or another. The Jesuit,
Prince Radzwill, is attached to the staff
of his cousin Prince Frederick Kari.
The state of the French soldier is very
different, yet they are nearly all Catholics
nominaly. Indifference to religion on
the part of some and jealousy on the part
of persons in authority have left the poor
French soldier without the solaces of
his religion on the battlefield. The
Jesuits, Dominicans and others offered to
serve, but the Government has set OBJ
stacIes in their way. Father de Damas
is the only Jesuit; and two Dominicans
are, we believe, the only other religious
that are in the field, although hundreds
volunteered. In the Rue de Sevres the
Jesuits have prepared to receive twenty
five soldiers in hospital; in their college
at Vaugerard, four hundred; and in the
college in the Rue de POstes, three hun
dred; and above one hundred Brothers are
to act as infirmaSlns. The LazaTisis
are going to furnish fifty beds
and attendance and medicine in their
house; the Oratorians, seven or eight;
the Dominicans, twenty; the Seminary
St. Sulpice, one hundred and fifty, and
separate rooms for offices; the Missions
Estrsngers, thirty; and the seminarians
will act as infirmarians. Letter.

Anxiety for the Hermann-She il
Chased by a Frenchman.

Anxiety for the Hermann-She is
Chased by a Frenchman.
New York, Sept. 28-The steamship
Scotia, of the Cunard line, which arrived
yesterday from Liverpool and Queens
town, brings news that must cause much
uneasiness to all those interested directly
or indirectly in the steamer Hermann, of
the Hamburg line, which put to sea at an
carly hour yesterday morning. AT about
S o'clock in the for snOon, the Scotia
sighted the Hermann, and signaled her
the latter replying. The German steamer
was at the time gsing at an extra
ordinary rate, ha ang On a full
head of steam. She " as bearing outward
so rapidly as to attracl the attention of
the Scotia passengers. The cause of her
unusual speed was soon explained by the
appearance of Fren,h war vessel, also
under full steam and 10 quick chase of the
Hermann. The vessels, as sighted from
the Scotia, must have heen within view
of each other, and bot rss1sss,d SxCR led
to keep up the race. Inc Hermann was
long way ahead of tie Frenchman, and
the belief On board the Scotis was that
should she be able to msintaiB the same
distance between herseIf and her puTsuer
until nightfall, she could then escape in
the darkness. Immediately on the arrival
of the Scotia, her commander, Captain
Judkins reported the matter to the custom
house officers who boarded his steamer
The Hermann had very narrow escape
from encountering another enemy in the
French gunbOat BOuvet, which crossed in
over the bar only, five hours before shewas
sighted by the Scotia. The Bouvet must
have passed the German vessel without
being aware of her presence. Had she
encountered the Hermann in front and the
other war vessel in the rear, the
Bremen Line would be minus a
steamer to-day. Until we receive
further intelligence the gravest
apprehensions must be entertained for the
steamer. The gunboat Bouvet is COM
manded ky an experienced officer, Lieut..
Flinquet, and has on board full compile
ment of men, with large stores of am
munition and other war material. She
comes from St. Pierre under special
orders. Last night she and sister vessel
of the French navy lay quietly at anchor
opposite the barge Office; another is cruis-
ing outside Sandy Hook, and fourth one
which passed through Hell Gate Monday
night, has put out to sea. Experienced
seafaring men blame the agents for start
ing the Hermann in daylight, and all con-
denim the action of the company in an
nouncing officially that the Bremen
steamers will resume their trips, leaving
New York as follows: Oct. 4, the West
phalia; Oct. II, Cambria, and 18th Har-
mOnia.

breathlessly into the Empress apartments
at the Tuileries with the startling an
nouncement and warning: 'The de-
cheance has been declared. have not a
moment to lose. Save your life, Mad
anne, as am now Fastening to save my
ownl" Then he disappeared, and with
good reason, too, for the revolutionary
government would give something to be
able to lay hands upon him now.
The Empress found herself alone
with her old and trusty Secre-
tary and friend, Nine. lie Bre-
ton, and with N. Ferdinand de Lesseps,
who both earnestly urged her to fly at
once. But her high spirit made this a
most unpalatable counsel. 1t was
cowardice-une lachete-to desert the
palace. She would rather be treated as
was Marie Antoinette by the mob than
seek safety in an unworthy fight. For a
time all persuasion was useless; but at
length her majesty's mood Gained some
what, and she saw the utter uselessness of
remaining. Attended only by the two
companions we have named, the Empress
fled through the long gallery of the Louvre;
but suddenly her course was stopped short
by locked door. The little party could
distinctly hear the shouts of the crowds
who were invading the private gardens OF
the Tuileries. M. de Lesseps, to gain
time, proposed that he should go out on
the terrace and get the soldiers on guard
to hold back the people for few minutes,
while, in addition, he would delay the
crowds by addressing them.
The resort to this expedient was not
necessary. Mime. lie Breton found the
key, opened the door that had INSTRUCTED
their progress, and gave egress to her
Majesty, who, accompanied only by her
tried friend, issued into the street at the
bottom of the Louvre. There they hur-
riedly entered common fiacre, not with
out a risk of detection on the spot-for a
diminutive gamin de Paris, not more than
twelve years old, shouted 'eVoila rImper-
atrice!" Luckily, no one about heard or
needed him, and the cab got away safely
with the two ladies. They drove to M.
de Lesseps' house, in the Boulevard de
Malesherbes, where the Empress sat until
she was joined by NJ. de Metternich, who
did what he could to facilitate her de-
parture to place of safety. Later in the
evening, the Empress, still accompanied
by Mime. lie Breton, drove to the Care du
Nord, escaped all detection-thanks to
the thick veil which she wore-and at
seven O'Clock rolled safe and unsupported
away to the Belgian frontier.

ITALIAN UNITY,

The dream of the Italian carbonari is
close to its realization. Rome is about to
become the capital of unified Italy. A
year ago the event would have been
watched with eager interest by the whole
civilized world. To-day its proportions
are dwarfed by the greater drama which
is being transacted on the banks of the
Seine 1t is not the first time in the
history of the Papacy that the guns of St.
Angelo have become the guardians of the
head of the church, and therefore Pic
Mono is hopeful because restoration has
hitherto speedily followed these temporary
disturbances. True, present circumstan-
ees are peculiarly gloomy: the populace
ready to fraternize with the Italian troops,
the Papal soldiery have been dispersed to
the four winds of heaven, the eldest son
of the Church is prisoner, and no pow
er in Europe seems able to strike single
blow to avert the imminent extinction of
France, beside which the temperatures of
the HOLY See are lost sight of.

LONDON, Sept. 28.-The new Roman
government announces an appropriation
of 80, 900, 900 to defray the expenses of
the inauguration of Rome as the capital of
Italy. The enthusiasm of the inhabitants
is boundless and the plebiscitum is ex-
pected to be unanimous. The Pope will
probably leave Rome as soon as the re-
suit is declared. The Parliament will
meet on the 18th prox, to ratify the
plebiscitum, and on the 18th the King
will make his entry into Rome and alight
at the Quirinal.
German Captures.
LONDON, Sept. 28-Tribune Special
The Tribune correspondent, writing from
Berlin, Goth, says the official statement
of the German captures thus far, not in
Guiding Loan, from the I'd of August, on
which day Saarbruck was temporarily
abandoned by the Prussians, are as fol-
lows:
At Saarbruck the French lost 6 officers
and 81 privates.
At Weissenburg thirty officers and
thousand men were made prisoners, and
four mihaileuse, twenty-five cannon,
fifty-one army wagons and carriages of
all kinds were captured.
At Woerth the Germans made six
thousand prisoners, besides a hundred
officers, and took two eagles, six mitrail-
euse, thfrty-fve guns, forty wagons and
carriages, two hundred horses, the bag
gage and camp of the division and two
railway trains with provisions.
The same day the French loss at Speech
eren and during the days following these
battles in the engagements at Reischoffer
and Sarguemines 25, 900 prisoners, guns
and pontoon train, a tented camp and
two magazines containing 100, 900 wooden
blankets and 40, 200 cloths of rice, coffee
and sugar, and also large quantities of
wine, rum and tobacco, the latter article
amounting to half a million thalers.
The lines working badly, this is all re-
ceived up to the hour of going to press.

THE IOWA REBELLTON.

Iowa still persists in her little rebellion
by facilitating resistance to judgments of
the United States Circuit Court, providing
for the collection in certain counties of
sums required to pay bonds issued by them
in aid of railroads. Muscatine and Loui-
sa counties are particularly compromised
by this reputation move, but the whole
State is involved because of the facilities
its Courts have afforded for this opposi-
ton to the United States authorities. An
application has been made to Justice Mil
Ter, of the United States Supreme Court,
and of the Circuit Court of the United
States for Iowa, for an injunction to pre-
vent the requisite collections by the Mar
shall. Every point raised was decided ad-
versely by Judge Miller. And now the

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY
A Ship Found in a California De-
sErt,

By many it has been held as theory
that the Yuma desert was once an ocean
bed. At intervals pools of salt water
have stood for a while in the midst of the
surrounding waste of sand, disappearing
only to rise again in the same or other To-
Calities. A short time since one of these
saline lakes disappeared, and a party of
Indians reported the discovery of ''big
ship" left by the receding waves. A party
of Americans at once proceeded to the spot,
and foundimbedded in the sands the wreck
of large vessel. Nearly one-third of
the forward parts of the ship or bark is
plainly visible. The stump of the bow
spirit remains, and portions of the timbers
of teak are perfect. The wreck is lOca-
ted forty miles north of the San Bernar-
dino and Fort Yuma road, and thirty
miles west of Los Palmos, well known
watering place on the desert. The road
across the deselt has been travelled for
more than one hundred years. The his
tory of the Inflated vessel can, of course,
never be known, but the discovery of its
decaying timbers in the midst of what
has long been desert will furnish Swans
with food for discussion, and may per-
haps furnish important aid in the elucida-
ton of questions of science Los An

the doors of the magnificent dining hall
we're thrown open to the guests, who
with but little delay, surrounded the

the reader what those tables contained, fol
mine host Kean never attempts anything
of the kind but what he sue eeds. The
choicest meats, dainties, CONNECTIONS and
delicacies we're served up in abundance,
and the excursionists must have felt that
it was good to be there. After hearty
meal, wine and sentiment prevailed, and
for upwards of an hour or more, there was
social reunion that was pleasant to look
at
The excursionists had but little time to
look around the city, but after dinner was
over many of them put in the small time
allowed to the best advantage, and in car
riages visited different parts of the city
After dark a large crowd assembled in
the Maxwell bent on general jollifcation.
Loud calls we're made for ex-President
Johnson, who appeared on the promenade
and addressed the crowd briefly. After
ward other gentlemen were called out and
made appropriate remarks Gen. VIM. B.
Bate, alN avs at home on impromptu oeca-
sion made one of his happiest and most
eloquent speeches, and was greeted
throughout with unbounded applause. He
was followed by Mr.. Chiffon, of
Montgomery, Ala, in handsome little
speech This general jubilee con-
tinued until it was announced
that it was train time, when the
Odd Fellows Band struck up Dixie, and
the excursionists formed in procession en-
route for the depot. After giving three
cheers and a tiger to Nashville, they moved
of, and ere this paragraph is perused are
enjoying the Inequalities of Louisville.
The welcome extended by the business
men of Nashvilel will long be remembered,

whole-souled manner in which they re-
ceived their Southern friends. May we
not hope that this commercial reunion will
rebound to the good of all who participated
