One of the latest French fashions
among the ladies is to wear on the
head a wide tortoiseshell band,
something after the style Of pictures
seen Of Greek ladies in olfien times.
They are ornamented with small
gold balls or stars, and are very
effective, particularly for full dress.

HORSE SToLEN.-We learn that
Mr.. r. T. Yoe had fine harness
and saddle horse, together with
saddle and bride, stolen from his
stable on Sunday night a week ago,
by a negro man named Louis Nc
Nary, who rode the horse to the
swamps of the Savannah, near Au-
gusta, that night, a distance of
about siXty-eight miles. Mr.. Yoe
pursued him the next day, and re-
porting to the Chief Of Police, of
Augusta, enlisted his aid in hunt
ing up the stolen animal and the
thief. The Chief Of Police brought
his forces together and searching
found that the thief and property
were not in the city. Mr.. Chris
tan, the Chief of Police, then sent
dctachments Of his force outside OF
the city in search, when they dis
covered the thief and horse on the
South Carolina side. Mr.. Yoe
hired a negro to decoy the thief to
the Georgia side of the river, when
he was Immediately arrested
When arrested he surrendered the
horse. Mr.. Yoe obtained the horse
and returned with it to his home.
He represents the Police of Au-
gusta as being very efficient in the
discharge of their duties.

NEW ORLEANS.
The Situation.

New ORLEANS, January 19.-The
warmoth portion Of the House Of
Representatives attempted to-day to
strengthen itself by passing resolution
to expel several members who have not
co-operated with it. The resolution for
the expulsion was offered several days
ago by Thomas Green Davidson, q
professed Democrat. who had been in
duced to act in the interest Of Warmoth,
and has therefore been discarded by
his party. The expulsion of the above
members will be of little consequence,
as the proceedings Of the Legislature
under Yarmouth are pronounced Illegal
BY the best legal authority. The oppo-
sition Legislature held no session to-
day. The general opinion in the streets
is that evsry days delay of the proceed
ings weakeus Warmoth. The whole
political interest Of the city is centered
in the contest between Warmoth and
the people.
The Southern dry dock in Algiers, on
the other side OF the river.was partially
raised but sunk again, and its recovery
is considered hopeless.

IN COLONIAL TIMES.
A Painful Picture OF Virginia
Clergymen.

| SlerRymeu
From James Parton on Jefferson as Law
Student, in the Atlantic for February.l
The tales we read OF the clergy Of old
Virginia stagger belief, though it is
clergymen who report them. The
reverend rector OF Wicomico, we read,
not approving the bread placed upon
the communion table, cried ou: from the
altar, in the midst Of the service, TO one
of the church wardens: George, this
bread is not fit for dog" We read
OF another who was invited after
church 10 dinner at a planters house,
where he drank so much that
he had to be tied in his gig, and ser
want cent 10 lead his horse home. One
Jolly parson comes down TO US reeling
up and down the porch OF a tavern,
bawling TO the passers-by 10 come and
drink with him. Another lives in tie
memory OF his county because he fought
duel within sight Of the church in
which he had formerly ofhcisted.
Another is remembered az q jovial
hunter who died cheering on the hounds
TO the chase. One is spoken OF as
pocketing annually hundred dollars,
the revenue OF legacy. for preaching
four sermons year against atheism,
gambling, racing. swearing, though
himself notorious swearer, racer and
gambler. Another is the hero OF o
story that one day parson and vestry
differed in opinion. quarreled and came
10 blows. The parson, Q giant in
strength, put them TO fight. Not con-
tent with his victory he renewed the
battle on Sunday morning in church,
when from the vantage ground Of the
pulpit be hurled at them this text from
Nemiah: And contended with them,
and cursed them. and smote certain OF
them, and plucked of their hail" which
had the keen sting Of literal truth.
One old clergyman is remembered a.
staggering toward the altar at the time
OF communion, when the rector who
was officiating ordered him back 70 bis
seat. The monthly dinners OF the
clergy have not yet passed out Of mind,
TO which men would ride for thirty or
forty miles, and resel tar into the night.
The court records Of Hampton show
that Q Clergyman Of that parish was
presented BY the grand jury for drunk
enness, and on another occasion for
slander. and that when before
the court he behaved with such
insolence as 10 be committed tor
contempt Of court. Bishop Mead,
Of Virginia, 70 whom the reader is
indebted for several Of these incidents,
relates that lady once came TO one Of
his clergymen, asking rebsptism, a. she
had doubts whether the christening Of
her infancy was valid. The clergymsn
who had performed the ceremony, she
said, dined with her father that day,
and alter dinner, her father won back
from the priest at cards the very guinea
