Old Fashioned Costumes.

1t Is singular thing, by the way, that to
see genuine curiOsities of old fashioned cos
tunes, there is no place so good as the
House of Lords, or, perhaps, the House of
Commons. There are plenty of old men in
either house who seem to have permanently
adopted some fashion of their youth, and
chung to it fondly and faithfully through all
time and change, as more romantic souls
cling to the memory of lost love. Stand
any day about half-past four o'clock at the
rear entrance of Westminster Hall, and
note some of the costumes which pass you;
the younger men, of course, and MANY of
the Oldsters, are made up to the hour BY
Poole, the fashionable tailor, who cuts the
clothes and sometimes backs the bills of
the aristocracy. But never mind these
commonplace correct ones. Look at that
STOPPING peer, the collar of whose coat
coming up behind so far as almost to touch
the curly brim of his high crowned hat
The coat has fur collar; it is long in the
waist and long in the skirts, pumped out in
front like the breast of pigeon or a pantO-
mime prince. suppose that coat was in fash
ion when George ~. was Regent here. See
here tall old cOmmoner in a blue coat
with gilt buttons, a buff waist-coat, and
tight, gray trousers Look at another who
wears white ducks" as they used to be
called in the days of our fathers, tightly
strapped down over his bOOts-that man,
suppose, began to dress after the fashion of
the Duke Of Wellington, and has not no.
ticed any change since then. Talk of the

Up The Red River.

Col. j. w. Forney writes home to
the Philadelphia Press interesting
sketches Of the Southern country and
its people. From letter datedShreve-
port, La, we extract as follows:
"W onderful, most wonderful is the
foliage along the banks of the Red
River-wild, lnxuriant and dense e
A farm house or a log-cabin is rarely
seen. The tortuous current, the
crumbling banks, soil fertile, and
without a single boulder or rock for
thousand miles, are objects of inter
est to geologists. Now the river
spreads out its red waters as broad az
the Delaware at its widest, and now
again it is condensed into such mar
row limits that boat can hardy push
it's way through. Great tall cotton
wood, oak and willow trees shoot up
on either side, and the finest cattle
are seen grazing in the shade. The
banks are ragged and the course of
the stream changes almost every year.
1t is not an uncommon thing to see
great groups of trees which have sunk
into the water, and the low, marshy
groAads seem to extend back a long
distance. The gunpowder willow
grows most luXuriantly and the Amer
lean trumpet flower, with its scarlet
blossoms and graceful foliage, twines
around the thick underground. Very
seldom are the magnolia and palm
seen in this locality, although the
Grape myrtle is in every little garden
attached to the humblest negro hut.
'.Wh impresses me, among other
things in this novel region, are the
kindly relations between whites and
blacks l have not heard syllable of
secessionism Ali the people are glad
for migration and capital, and really
they present inducements. Some of
the finest sugar, cotton and corn plan
tations are offered as low as five dol
lars an acre and when we consider
that this is region literally without
winter, and that the soil is the most
productive on the earth, and the gen
eraI health as good as elsewhere, we
should be surprised that so many hun
dred of thousands of acres have lain
dormant for centuries, if we do re-
member the ptejudices of slavery and
the habits sill existing which have
grown out of that institution. Every
intelligent man 1 converse with ad-
mits that these prejudices will require
at-least a generation to cure, but they
point with pride to the improvement
of the negro since the emancipation
and the ballot, and quietly extract
from this fact the ultimate population
of their now deserted plantations and
their own future redemption So much
for the negro.

.1Bayonet Rule in the South"

The copperheads and Liberals
have been howlilg so Justify for so
many months past about President
Grants "bayonet rule in the South
that the. War Department has seen fit
to prepare statement showing exact
ly how many troops are stationed in
the twelve rebel States, exclusive of
those engaged in protecting the Texas
frontier from the ravages of the Indi-
an tribes. There is not single Fed
eral soldier in Virginia in North Car
olina there are only 2S3; 1907 are
stationed in South Carolina; in
Georgia there are 26O; in Alabama
PSI; in Florida, 1853; in Mississippi,
$40; in Louisiana, 267 in Arkansas,
73; in Tennessee, 349; and in Texas
none, except on the Indian border
The sum total foots up only 3,159, or
about the number of a single regiment
of the Prussian army.
How supremely absurd, then is the
charge of ''military despotIsm," espe-
cially when we consider that this
small number. must guard and care
for several forts that line our south
eastern and southern sea coasts, and
must protect from plunder numerous
large and valuable arsenals, AMI pre-
serve order between two formerly an
tagonistic races. What must we
think of nine millions of people, dis
tinguished for love of arms and for
their valor as soldiers who would al
low single regiment to grind them
down in the atrocious manner the
Liberal and Democratic orators are
so fond of describing. In the city of
Chicago we have population Of about
100000, and maintain a police force
of475 men, which is quite inadequate to
our needs. Our necessities wouldnot be
far exceeded if we had two police men
to every one thousand Inhabitants
And yet perfect order is maintainde in
the South, after a long and bloody
war, by only one soldier to every
three thousand inhabitants, and the
property interests of the Governme ent
are looked after besides. The police
70 c. of this city is nearly three times
as large, in proper ion to our popula-
ton, as is the Federal army in the
South, and yet who beliYes for mo
ment that it could rule and domineer
over us in an arbitrary manner, or
prevent US from expressing our real
political sentiments at the ballot box !?
The idea is pfeposterous.
The War Department has exploded
the chief Liberal argument of the
campaign. Let us hear no more party
defeats explained away on the plea OF
''bayonet rule in the South. . Chica-

blasphemy. The hell of fools was
already in his bssom he suffered, and
by sympathy We suffered with him
My dear Alonzo, the memory of that
season of sorrow can never be fully
efaced it is a remembrance which will
FapRt me to the very confines of death.
But, will hasten to the end of this
mournful story. We loved him and
we saved him. Great was our love,
and great was our reward. By the
most assiduous attentions that were
ever lavhzed upon a human being,
he was snatched from the jaws of de
struction. His con stitution at length
rallied his sanity once more visited
his soul, and reason enthroned her,
self in his brain. His convalescence
was slow and long, and gave him time
to reflect; and during that period we
brought all the influences of kindness
to bear upon him. He reformed in
process of time the vigor of manhood
returned; the debased and insultel di-
vinitY arose within him and asserted
its dignity. He wept at the remem-
brahce of his former baseness; he re
joieed in his salvation, and is, at pres
ent. as you are aware, happy in the
love of his fair wife and boy. He has
adjured the ''social glass" forever; he
will drink no more of the Intoxicating
cup with ''old friends;" he has seen
the folly of moderate drinking. Tenn
perance in foods and drinks, and man
hood is everything, is now his motto. -

and her husband made no response
She glanced toward the spot where
he was sitting; he had bowed his face
upon his hands, and tears were trick
ling through his fingers. In a little
time he arose, caught his wife's hand,
and pressed it to his lips, his resolu-
tiCn was formed; the words Of truth
had reached his soul; Alonzo Acker-
man never drank another ''social
glass"

this, these bonds were held by Gus.
Belmont or the Devil, they must be
redeemed in good faith. If the Gov
ernment is not honest how can we ex-
pect the people who live under it to
be honest? There is no occasion for
undue haste in this matter. The COM
ing generation, for whose advantage
the debt was contracted ought to help
to pay it. The millions of foreigners
coming hither to enjoy the blessings
of freedom, and grow under our be-
nign institutions, ought to help to pay
it. The homestead settlers who re-
ceive their farms from the government
for nothing ought to help pay it. The
thrifty Africans whose freedom cost so
much blood and treasure ought to
help pay it. The undeveloped mines
of silver and gold ought to help pay
it. In the meanwhile the credit of
the nation must be ustained-first,b by
keeping down the interest on the pub
lie debt; second, by diminishing the
principal materially every year; third.
by relieving sensibly the burden Of
taxation, so as to satisfy the world,
both at home and abroad, that we are
both willing and able to pay our debts
without depressing anybody,
This is the cherished policy of Gen.
Grants administration. The Govern
ment debts is being funded at lower
rates of interest. The interest on
that debt is all promptly paid up
The principal of the debt is being re-
duced at a rate that would extinguish
it in twenty years. The burthens Of
taxation are being lightened, and it's
most oppressive features done away,
and the expenses of Government
grealy reduced.
