Fashion Gossip.

The sleeveless jackets take prscedenc,
of all other styles of outdoor garment
this season.
HANDKERCHIEFs are now imported Il
match the different styles of Dolly Var
den costumes.
LARGE gilt crosses are worn around
the neck on black velvet ribbon, anc
are very stylish with light dresses.
TIE old-fashioned cottage bonnets art
coming in again, and have already beer
worn by many fashionable ladies.
CAsHHERE sacques are trimmed with
wide cashmere border in gay orienta
colors and designs, with wide tasselled
fringe to match.
The New York bellies threaten to dis
card corsets and rely upon natural
causes for a healthful amount ol
squeezing.
One of the most convenient adjuncts
to the toilet is the polonaise-for it may
be made of thin material and worn
over silk dress with low corsage; for
full dress and for street wear and morn.
ing toilet one may have a number OF
these Jaunty garments at a slight ex.
pense-tG be worn over skirts of plain
tints, that Of black tints being perhaps
the most serviceable.
TnE latest style at funerals is for the
pail. TO wear full dress suits with
white kid gloves.
The latest style of evening dress is of
black tulle or illusion, trimmed with
large lunches of gray.colored flowers
and wreathes to match.
BLACK grenadines are very pretty
made with the ruffles bound with col.
ored silk, as yellow, rose or blue. They
are done over black silk slips.
Bows are alarmingly prevalent upon
every suit with the least pretensions to
elegance. Bows down the front of the
polonaise, at the loopings of the over
skirt, upon the sleeves, and also upon
the shoulders, are much in vogue.
AswHIrE will be as popular as ever
this summer, we have any variety dis
played in these goods. Many white
dresses of pique, and also plaids, are
made in the princess shape, and trim
med simply around the bottom with
two or three ruffles. White tarletans
will be much worn for evening dresses !;
also white tulle. OF course these will
be trimmed with any amount of puffs
and frills, and garlanded with beautiful
flowers.
TEE old.fashioned scarfs have made
their appearance, and will be worn in
general TO match the dress, and be
trimmed or embroidered according to
fancy, Those of black silk, black lace,
or the Spanish lace scarf will be the
most popular.
MANY walking dresses are made of
black silk piped with some pretty color,
or with the edges scalloped and button
holed with colored fiors. Those in blue
or violet are the most appropriate for
the street, while rose color is very effec-
tive for a reception toilet.

your blood weighs 25 pounds, your heart
is five inches in length and three inches
in diameter: tbeats 7O'times per minute
1900 times per hour, lO0,S0O times per

each beat q little over two ounces Of
blood is thrown out of it; and each day
it receives and discharges about seven
tons of that wonderful fluid.
Your lungs will contain gallon of
air, and you inhale $4,000 gallons per
day. The aggregate surface of the air.
cells Of your luugs, supposing them to
be spread out, exceeds 2,OOO square

LETTER FROM NORTH EAST.
NORTH EAST, Feb. 18th. 1872.

Mr.. EDIToR:-We read your article of
the 10th. giving yoar Jews at length in
regard to the temperance organizations in
| the County.
We are sorry to be compelled to submit
to your sharp criticisms, but truth must
prevail. We are convinced of the fact,
that there is not enough unanimity
amongst the prcfessed friends of temper
let we presume North East is not alto
gether behind in this matter They sent
III their petition, signed by near three hun
dred 900 Of its citizens, with I'VE are cred
itably informed one of their strongest
temperance advocates, and man full Of
Democratic proclivities rum excepted
thinking, doubtless, he could influence his
friends of the Legislature to enact local
law; but with sadness we learn the petit
tions are laid away in the secret archives
of the Committee of Ways and Means
probably never more to see day light, ex-
cept they should chance to be rooted out
by some future successor. Yet, we pre-
sumo, if all our neighbors (Elkton not ex-
cepted) had used their inflence as assid-
uously as North East, and forwarded their
petitions, with some strong advocate of
temperance, (and full of Democracy all at
the same time, they would have had
delegation so strong that they could have
influenced the Honorable Legislature to
have appointed Temperance Committee,
and thus accomplished the act which was
so earnestly prayed for by their petitions.
The question might be asked, who was
to bear the expenses of those delegates
We would answer, let the friends of the
cause in each District and Burrough pay
the expenses of their man. We are cred
IDLY informed, such was the case in this
place. G.. United we stand divided we fall,'
hence the necessity of concert of action.
The Democratic party has heretofore
been branded as being the whisky party,
and this would have been suitable op-
portunity for them to have extricated
themselves from the stigma, if it had been

We hold that it is due to the large num-
Der of temperance citizens of Cecil county
and State of Maryland that our present
Honorable Legislators appoint a special
comm ittee in both branches of the Legisla-
ture to whom all petitions on the subject
of temperance could be referred for their
action during this present session.
