Wearing Eugenie's Second. Hand Clothes.

A New York correspondent writes ::
If Solomon had lived in this nineteenth
century, he should have written, Keep
thy tongue with all diligence; for out
of it are the issues of life" instead of
keep thy heart" The tongue is now
much more responsible for the wrongs
done in life than the heart. The most
malicious things said are mere emana-
tions Of the tongue, and don't come at
all from the heart. Women will say
things OF each other, not meaning to do
harm, and yet how much is done by one
unkind word l heard lady say, a
few days since, she wondered what Mrs.
So-and-So would do now that she would
not be able to buy the EmpI ess's second
hand clothes and, when she saw aston
ishment expressed on my face, she said,
"Why, don't you know she has been
buying the Empresss dresses for years !?
While her dresses are very elegant, no
one ever saw her with perfectly fresh
dress on" The moral l drew from all
this was, that the only use woman's
fine clothes were to her was to make
every other woman hate her-if you can
call that use. Upon inquiry find
that the Empress never wore dress
more than three times; that was the ex-
treme when some particular costume
pleased her very much; and often a
dress was worn but once. On certain
days, those that had had their service
were exhibited On lay figures by the
dame de robe in charge, and sold to the
highest bidders. They We're usually
bought to go out of France,-Russia and
the United States being the principal
markets for them.

To the carnally-minded smoker, says
the Detroit Post, there is no greater fas-
cination than deceiving the very
elect" with an unlit cigar. On few
points is the imagination of the severe
anti-tobaccoist SO liable to be led astray.
He smells the odious odor; the sitting
smoke sickens his stomach, while the
joking smoker and the smoking joker
chuckles in his wicked heart. Mr.. Hor-
ace Mann was once seated in on omni-
bus with young man who coolly took
out a cigar, lit match, and put the ci-
gar in his mouth. Mr.. Mann stopped
the coach and insisted that the young
man should be elected for disobeying
the rules. He was not pacifed until the
owner of the cigar touched the indig-
nant reformer's hand with the uncharred
end, in proof that the cigar had never
been lighted; and Mr. Mann, 10th to
lose an opportunity to impress a moral
truth upon o wayward youth, turned
around and lectured him severely upon
the vice of deception.

puff above, and standing, rather full
ruffie. One ruffle and puff are sufficient
for the upper skirt, loosely fitting
cosaque, or sack with flowing sleeves
slip-sleeves should always accompany
the large open sleeve, to be tied in at the
arm-hole for cold days, trimmed to cor
respond. OF the large family of jackets,
and their name is legion, old styles reign
as well as new ones. The novelty is q
"Spring coat basquine," fitting like a
coat, with deep lappels, rounded in front
at pleasure. For trimming, lace must
have the first mention, because there
exists perfect .fayore for this most be-
coming and graceful of all garniture.
Embroidery has been revived, braiding
in imitation of gimp, bows, and buttons
the latter will again be extensively
used, and flat braids. Bonnets will, SO
rumor says, show O visible increase in
size. 1t is whispered that we shall soon
be regaled with the sight of regular
bonnet, crown, curtain and all. The
Gipsey will undoubtedly have a long
reign during the spring and summer.
But few more weeks will fully en-
tighten us as to what to wear, how much
to pay, and how to wear it.--N Y. Tri-

An Immense immigration Scheme.

A late San Francisco paper says:
Ben. Holiday, the Vanderbilt Of the
Pacific, returned from the Atlantic
States few days ago, where he has per-
fected arrangements for the transpor-
tation of fifty thousand German immi-
grants from Bremen to Portland, Ore
gon, direct. A line of steamers is to be
put on at once between Bremen and As.
pinwall, connecting at Panama with a
through line to San Francisco and Port
land, in direct opposition to the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company's vessels be-
tween this city and the Isthmus. The
through fare from Bremen to Portland
will be $40, coin, per head, which is the
lowest rate ever charged between Eu-
rope and the Pacific Coast of the United
States. 1t is expected that the immi-
grants will settle along the line of the
California and Oregon Railroad, and
many of them will probably obtain i'm
mediate employment from the Company.
Mr.. Holiday is the chief incorporation
OF this railroad, and owns two-thirds OF
its stock. He has Just placed mortgage
bonds for $1,000, 900 on the London and
Hamburg markets, making them lien
on the proceeds of the four million acres
of rich land granted by the Government
to aid in the construction of the work
Such large permanent addition to the
population of Oregon and Northern
California must necessarily greatly en-
hance the value of the grant, and it
seems likely that by the time the road is
finished the sale of these lands will have
more than repaid the cost of building
it, leaving the line the unencumbered
and almost the sole property of its en-
terprising protector.
