convey an idea of its spirit:

scandal Of Presidents brother-in.law
at the capital, following the profession OF
agent for claims against the government,
carrying his influence in the subordinate
executive departments, where such
claims are judged, and actnally--as he
testified before Congressional com

partment to the President, and appear

this was the sale Of the Presidents in

Toilet PhiIosophy.

From The PA Mali Galstte.l
Ever since the publication of Mr., Car
| lyle's Sartor Resartus the world has
been familiar With the philosophy Of
clothes. II has been reserved for a
Frenchman, however to interpret the
ethical significance OF dress to show us
how there may be moral philosophy Of
the toilet. At the annual meeting lately,
in Paris, of the FIVE united Academies. a
discourse on the art of dressing was de-
livered by M. Charles Blanc. M. Blanc
FIRST endeavored to prove that dressing
was branch OF the fine arts which might
be reduced under regular rules. This
part of M. Blanc's discourse was very
Ingenious, but naturally very fauciful.
In. the concluding portion he was more
ambitious. Far from being matter of
frivolous observation alone, dress and or
naments, he maintained, are TO the phllos-
opher an indication of the prevailing
morality of a eeuntry and OF the ideas
that govern the people. M. Blanc found
illustrations of this proposition in the
past AID present state of France. At
different periods the prevalent spirit has
been reflected in the fashion OF the hour.
Thus at the Revolution the fashions of
the day were of defiant and reckless
character. Later. under the Empire,
costumes became cold and naughty, af-
fecting an air OF would-be majesty.
Then came a period Of reaction against
the revolution. The feminine toilet in
dicated return to chivalry aud devo-
ton, true or false. the hapless Mary
Stuart being taken as model. Soon
the triumph OF the bourgeois brought
change in ladies' costume, the dress
being fashioned so as to symbolic the
vocation Of woman as that OF sedentary
or family life Under the Second EN-
pire an absolutely opposite style pre-
vailed. The entire toilet came to repre-
sent rapidity of motion, aud everything
that made sedentary attitudes uncom-
Portable was encouraged. M. Blanc
went into minute details regarding the
dress of these various periods to demon
strate the truth Of his views.

CUBA.

HEw ORLEAss, December 23.-Late Havana
papers and private letters give the following;
Seven hundred men Of the Reina battalion
had an engagement with the united forces Of
AEramonte, Vicente. Garcia and others near
the Zaramagaean river. The spaniards claim
TO have eouted the CubGns. The horse disease
has appeared in Havana, and Il daily inereas-
ing. Native and Northern horses are equally
attacked No private carriages are seen on
the streets. Two hundred sailors from Ferral,
implicated in the late events Of the arsenal,
have arrived at Havana. The Spanish com
handing general st aanota Espiritu il pur-
chasing blOodhOuads for the purpose Of hunt
ing down the insurgent negroes who infest the
mountains there. The Chinese slave import
ing society has dissolved. but new and SINH
lar society will be founded By steamers instead
Of sailing vessels.
The Havana authorities call on the Cuban
absentees to present themselves for trial on
the charge of high treason. Among those
summoned are the following ladies residing IN
New York. Mrs. Rosar o. Porters. widow Of
Morales Lemus: the wife Of Domingo Aldamai
Mrs. Magdalens Mora, the wife Of General
Jourdan; Mrs. Paulina Mestre. Mrs. Rosario
Fesser and Mrs. Plutarce Gonzales.
A letter from Sancta Kspiritu says that at
Marrequin, on the Moron road. and at Arroyo
Blaneo the spaniards had entrenehed and
fortified camps. The cubans pHt "a the eom-
munication between these camps. and after
several days fighting captured Mauoquin, a.
well as q convoy Of arms. ammunition and
clothing, The camp at Arroyo Blaneo was
also captured.
The Cubans defeated the spaRiards at Gig
De- Rio Grande. Over one hundred spaniards,
including several officers. we're left dead on
the road. The cubans captured the place and
burned the ltoWn. The cubans are in open
communication With csmarso. On the I'd

pr-nisrR1orING TIE srATE.

One of the most important duties Oh
the coming Legislature will be the reds
tricting of the State, SO as to make ten
Congressional districts instead OF nine.
IL is to be hoped that this work Will be
done fairly and with reference to popu'
lation. present and prospective, terri
tory. geographical symmetry and pubic
convenience. Nothing was ever made
in the end by gerrymandering a state
One of our last Legislatures made mis-
take of that kind, and thereby fastened
the breaking up of the Conservative Dem
ocratic party of the State more than all
the speeches and documents of the last
campaign. The Republicans were ex-
asuerated to the extreme, and the Demo
Gratis. many Of them, were Disguised, or at
least felt at disadvantage in the argu-
ment. The battering ram district,
which was made to shackle Maynard
and keep him out of Congress, contrib
uted to his triumph throughout the
State. The district was fearfully and
wonderfully made-in fact many OF the
East Tennesseeans believe that it ex-
tends from North Carolina to the neigh
borbood Of jackson, Tennessee. They
were mistaken, but such was their i'm
pression, and they voted accordingly.
The State will not be redistricted again
until after the taking of the census in
1880. 1t is all important then that the
members of the Legislature should for
get their personal. Interests, where they
NAV have any in this matter, ignore par
ties and make fair, square daal, 1t
such an expression will be understood.
1t is their duty to the people, but hon.
esty is the best policy. The Wing and
Tribune, speaking Of the subject, says;
II is due to fairness and honesty that
no individual interest shal | come be-
tween the members and their action in
this respect. If the laying the State of
into ten natural and compact districts
shall render the entire Congressional
delegation Radical or Conservative, let
il be 50. II the State is Radical, it will
be Radical in spite of any legislative
rascality; and if it is Conservative, 1t
will be conservative. Let justice be
done, though both parties perish in the
end. Nothing is ultimately gained by
political rascality.

A very striking illustration of the IT,
fuence which trees have upon rain is
given BY gentlemsn who has Just Wis
tied the island of Santa Cruz, West In
dies. Twenty years ago he was there,
and the island was a lovely garden
throughout its length and breadth.
Trees native to it and flowers everywhere
fiourished, and the soil was fertile. When
his last visit was made he found third
of the island desert waste; the soil
was parched and barren on the seashore.
The destruction of vegetation is steadily
going on, and the planters one after an
other abandon their farms, as they
yield them nothing. The only way to
account for the great change is that
nearly all Of the trees have been cut
down and the amount of rain which has
fallen since has not been enough to keep
the land refreshed.

THE CoLD-THE POOR.

1t has been predicted by the weather
wise that an unusual snow fall is at
hand, and that we are to have a severe
winter. Already We have very cold
weather for this latitude, and fierce
winds from the northwest, TO remind
many Of more northern cline. To the
rich, the well-to-dos comfortably housed
and fed people, such phenomenon is
not unpleasant, but, on the contrary, is
rather relished; but the poor, who SILVER
in garrets and olap-board shanties, with
out adequate clothing. fuel or food, will
not rejoice at the dancing snow-hakes
that caper in at the creyices. They
smile not at the ftful gusts that pile up
a snow-drift in the doorway or on the
window-sill, for they see in the whitened
gloom around them spectral giant OF
want. a sentinel whose brow is clothed
with icicles, and whose long. skeleton
arms keep away all friendly vista Of
Santa Claus To them the snos is q
shroud Of their hopes, swift forerunner
of their wants. Who will care fo- the
poor. the homeless and the Aouseless
outcasts, while the merry bells Of Christ
mas ring in so many joys to the more
highly favored? While rejoicing in com
fort and plenty, let US not forge: &c sSf
fering humanity at our doors. who, like
Lazarus, would crave the crumbs that
fall from the table.

Forty unfortunates paid the usual fines
for misdemesnors this morning at the
Recorders reunion. Randall Garvey,
colored, charged with putting head on
an officer Of the colored Baptist church,
was fined but FIVE dollars, owing to the
eloquehce and religious fervor of col
ored lawyer named Morris, who appealed
to the Christian prosecutor for mercy,
and quoted extensively from chapters in
the Bible to show the beauties of forgive
ness. When the case was settled, the
recalcitrant Garvey endeavored to swim
die his lawyer out of his fee, but the
Recorder wouldn't permit the religions
and eloquent advocate to be thus treated
by his client.
