Grecian Styles OF Dress or FarbelOWs.

In gossiping article on fashions. in
the New York Tribune, we find the fol.
lowing:
There is a somewhat amusing perplex.
ity in society in regard to the two most
prominent styles of dress--the dignified
and elegant Grecian, with severe out
lines and heavy folds, and the airy, flut-
tering style, gay with ruffles, fiounces
and furbelows. Both seem equally at
tractive, but are so distinct in impress
sion that they require totally distinct
manner carriage of the person, and ar
rangement of features. Both cannot
rule in the same wardrobe, without in.
finite trouble on the part of the ward
robes owner. After acquiring, through
hard study the grave, Indifferent, some
what distracted manner BETTING the
majestic simplicity of the Grecian style,
it is not easy to slip, on the instant, into
a ravishlng sprightliness, with the ruff
fed gown. Which mode is to reign pre-
eminent nobody can tell. Fashion has
taken ole sensible and effective step
during the last two years-a step to
which most physical reformers seem
surprisingly indifferent. Women no
longer lace themselves into deformity
in their ancient idiotc manner, but are
content to leave to their waists their
elegant natural outlines. A pinched
waist is now an exception in society,
and one which is invariably sneered at.
Another re orm which is sadly needed
is probably useless to hope for. stout old
John Knox and the voice of him being
laid away forever. Never have evening
dresses been made up in a more out
rageously decollete style than now.
Dresses have been worn this winter
which would more appropriately have
graced South Sea Islanders than modest
American women. 1t is time that maids
and matrons understood that lovely
figure is none the less lovely for being
delicately yelled, and that the admira-
ton excited by its ridiculous exposure
is the poorest of compliments. There
is not even a man of the world who does
not feel mild contempt for woman
after seeing her in this sort of garb

A Strange Pair-Tle Spotted Boy and
His Serpent Brother.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

There is on exhibition in this city
most remarkable freak of nature. TO
those who delight in eccentricities of
this character the history of the boy
snake couple, found two or three years
since in the wilds Of Africa, would be
exceedingly interesting. When seven
years Of age he was captured in com
pany with boa constrictr, which is sup
posed to have charmed the young speci-
men Of the genus homo from the par
entail hearthstone. There is remarkable
likeness between the boy and the snake
in respect To color, each bearing the
same flesh marks, and the affection
which made them companions in their
native iungles continues to this time.
BY their keeper they are said to be in
separable. The alternate nut brown
and cream spots which mark the one are
identical in the other. The larynX in the
boy, as in the snake, is wanting, and
consequently each is as dumb as an oys-
ter; at least they remain to this day as
reticent of their..origin as'the most polite
President in the United States could
wish.
The nine stroke of our evening town
clocks consigns them to the same couch,
and, winding their young and tender
forms about each other, they 60 to sleep
to dream of mother and home, far from
the land in which their young infancy
was rocked.
The boy is as impartial a compromise
between the pure Caucasian and the
genuine African as Congressional re-
construction committee could wish, and
the singularity of his appearance in
creases the interest excited by his mys-
FERROUS origin and the outer nature of
his social affinites.

A MAN in Cincinnati has invented a
piano that is played 10y the feet. 1t has
sixty-eight keys, which are cubical
blocks of wood and each one strikes a
chord of four notes. He puts on slip
pers to play with, and while he makes
his piano 90 with his feet, he plays the
flute with his mouth and fingers. The
effect is described as remarkable. The
new mechanism can easily be attached
to any ordinary piano.

A HIBERNIAN, fresh from the old
sod," having sufficient means to pro-
vide himself horse and cart the lat
ter kind he probably never saw be-
fore), went to work on public road.
Being directed by the overseer to move
a lot of stones near by, and deposit them
in gully on the side of the road, he
forthwith loaded his cart, drove up to
the place, and had nearly finished
throwing off his load by hand, when the
boss told him that was not the way, he
must tilt or dump his load at once.
Paddy replied that he would know bet
ter the next time. After loading again,
he drove to the chasm, put his shoulder
to the wheel, and upset the horse, cart
and all, into the gully Scratching his
head, and looking rather doubtfully at
his horse below him, he observed: Be-
dad, it's mighty quick way, but it must
be trying to the baste."

The OBJECT OF THE French Revolt
TIoN.-The reporter of the New York
HcraH in Paris, interviewed the Central
Committee at the Hotel de Vile, on the
25th inst. The members Of the Commit
tee said We organized in the first
place on account Of information that
Theirs was cooperating with Bismarck
for the overthrow of the Republic,
the evidence of which was overwhelm-
ing. Theirs had endeavOred to provoke
tie COmmitte to acts of violence, but
they waited, and he had himself com
mitted the first outrage by attacking
Montmartre. The objects of the Com
mittee are to secure municipal rights for
Paris. free elections, and the abolition
of the payment Of rent due during the
siege; to form one vast republic, under
the reqime of the commune, which is to
be more comprehensive than ever, as
advocated by Louis Blanc and Victor
Hugo, and to be based upon compulsory
education. We ignore the Versailles
Government and declare all its acts as
null. Fresh elections will be held, and
a new Assembly chosen, having its seat
in Paris. The members Of the Com
mittee will not accept offices in the new
Government, but will form a Gordon
Senitaire,' having supervising power
over it. People of all ranks are daily
offering their services to U.S. and officers
and men are deserving from Versailles
and placing themselves at our disposal.
We do not want any needless effusion of
blood. Gen. Chanzy will not be execu-
ted, but Gems. Ducrot and Trochu will
be, if caught. We appointed Garibaldi
commander-in-chief. Menotti and Ric-
cotti Garibaldi are his aids"
PLANT TREEs.-We do not mean fruit
trees merely, for those you will be likely
to plant for the sake of the fruit. But
plant shade-trees. Do not neglect it
plant them now, in the present spring
time Do not argue that it takes them
too long to grow, and that you will not
live to enjoy them. There is an imme-
date satisfaction in seeing them begin
to grow and stretch forth their green
branches. And it is not unpleasant to
think that the small elm and oak, which
YOU now put in the ground, will live
when you are dead, and that your chill
dren and grandchildren will sit under

A WILL, disposing of nearly 100000
worth of property, is being contested in
the courts in Louisville, KY, by the
children and heirs-at-law of the tesla
tor, to none Of whom was devised any
part Of his estate. The grounds relied
on are that the testator was the subject
of apoplexy some nineteen years ago
which caused permanent and fata
lesion in his brain, affecting and impair
ing his mind in a material degree, anc
especially causing him to be subject to
delusive suspicious, resulting in dis
agreements and obstinate dislikes to hi
wife, children, family physician, anC
many of his former nearest and bes
. friends.
