The Rhig has labored hard to tune its
melodious voice to the same KEY of the

1t comes up, then backs, then nickers a
little, smells, snorts, stamps, and finally
concludes it will take a little, as it fuds
the older animals drinking fearlessly. It
ventures its nose in slightly this morning,
and snorts forth the old song of "nigger,"
scalawag, and carpet-bagger.
1t says that they must not be permit
ted to hold the offices over the heads of the
gentlemen of Democracy. Such gentle
men, too, who have for the past year
been robbing the people Of their hard
earned means, while the "poor white

WHO SHOULD Go TO SARAToGA.-The
women who go To Saratoga are the very ones
who ought not to 90. Life to them is very
much the same erywhere-prlncipally eat
ing and dressing, driving and frtiDg-they
90 to Saratoga because it is necessary to go
somewhere, and because some of their friends
are going there. They get up but mild in
terest in anything. Life presents no sharp or
vivid contrasts to them, and they are languid-
y ready to go or stay anywhere that they will
be likely to find companionship. Such wom-
en- as these ought to 60 camping out in the
woods, or roughing it in the Adirondacks
during the summer. For few short months
they should leave their airs and graces, their
trains and panniers, their puts, their patches,
their languor and nervousness, and get INTO
the heart of nature. Coffee cooked over cross
| sticks and sweetened with molasses, or not
sweetened at all-and our experience OF hard
tack and salt mackerel, would make civiliza-
l tion precious to them when they returned to

they had ever heard, with troops OF servants
| to fy at their bidding, and the choicest things
of the earth rlaced at their disposal. do not
think it would hurt them one bit; it would do

SOhsets.
1t is stated that ten million dozen corse,s
were imported into the United States last
year, or one hundred and twenty million
pairs: We believe corsets are plural and
reckoned in pairs. In addition to these i'm
portations, we bad supply from home pro-
duction of about fifteen hundred thousand
pairs-one hundred and twenty-one million
five hundred thousand corsets. Who wears
them out and how are they consumed? Ac-
cording TO the statistics of population, every
man, woman and child should average three
annual pairs, but as few children require
THESE aDuomlnal supporters, and as only a few
weak men avail themselves of the whaIebone
riD, we suppose that the large supply is prin-
c,Pally used by the gentler sex. We are not

nine toilet. We have nothing to say about
modes of dress or arts of decoration. Per-
haps corsets may be useful as supports to the
natural strength, and il so they serve a very
good purpose. Perhaps they may help the
outlines and curves of the natural form
and ii so we ought not to object to those ca
prices and pains OF fashion whose object is to
add new charms to feminine beauty. But
then it occurs to US that the form of the We
ms de Medici has been considered the type of
ancient writers extol her full and gracefully
tapering. chest, and condemn the mothers
who seek TO- enhance the charms of their
daughters by ''drooping shoulders and q
laced Waist" In these delicate questions
f4Slek concern matters OF which we know hut
little, We prefer not to offer settled iudg--
ment. but to give statistics and suggestions.
The woman nowadays does very much as
she pleases, and if she thinks that an approach
to a wasp's girt is a mark of beauty, she will
continue to wear corsets, in spite of the pre-
scriptions of physicians or the advice of wise
cOunsellors. We have no desire to run tilt
against modern fashions, yet it does seem to
us that the waist of the Venus de Medici is
very good model for these present times, and
that full and lrounded bust and a good d.
gestion are better than the pale lips and
flushed cheeks which denote distractions in
the calculation of the vital fluids, or fatal
trouble in the heart aud lungs. If we are
wrong, perhaps some fair friend who knows
will set us right. We are ready to confess
that the reported importations of corsets have
somewhat disturbed cur customary calcula-
