The coat naturally fell in a number of plaits
below these hip-buttons; but in most OF Ho-
garth's pictures, although the buttons and plaits
remain, yet the cresses above the buttons disaP-
pear, and seams appear to run from the buttons
up under the arms. At the end OF the 18th
and at the beginning of the 18th century, coats
seem very commonly to have been furnished with
Sits running from the edge of the skirt up under
the arms, and made to button up, similar in all
respects to the slit of the tails. The sword was
usually worn under the coat, and the sword-hilt
came through the slit 90 the left side. Later on,
these Sits appear to have been sewed up and
the buttons and button.holes died away, with the
exception of two or three buttons just at the
top of the Sits thus, in coats of about the year
l705, it is not uncommon to see several buttons
clustered about the tops of all these Sits. The
buttons at the top Of the centre slip entirely dis
appeared; but the buttons now on our coats
trace their pedigree up to those on the hips.

PERSECUTION OF CHISANEH.-A case which
had been pending for several weeks was examined
in the Police Court yesterday afternoon, inrov-
ing gross charges of assault and battery between
james BevIns and Ching Ming and All Sam.
The evidence showed dangerous spirit of intol-
erance prevailing against Cinnamon in that part
Of the city designated as Kensington, aud which
was previously developed in the murder of a
Chinese gardener in that locality BY band of
hoodlums, few months ago. Young Bevins, con-
nected with the present case, was represented to
be the companion of the rufians concerned in the
murder referred TO. On the 9th of September
this youth INDUCED in his favorite diversion of
pelting the Cinnamon with stones, and was dri-
ven of by them. Shortly after he returned to
the fray accompanied by his father the latter fred
with indignation at the affrOnt offered by the
Chinese in defending themselves from attack and
declaring his determination to slaughter China
man in revenge. The two entered the cabin Of
the Mongols, knocked over the occupants, smash
ed their crOckeryware, and created havoc genefal-
ly. In the course OF the melee, young Bevins
received a kick or blow on the shins, which has
rendered him lame since the affair, and hence the
charge of assault and battery against the China
men. Witnesses living in the locality testified
that Ching Ming and All Sam had resided there
for FIVE years, and we're known as quiet and in
offensive persons. They had frequently applied
to their employer for protection against the per
secutiOns of the Hoodlums, particularly since one
OF their number had been wantony murdered by
the ruffans. Judge Sawyer was engaged on be-
half of the Chinese and Mr.. Tigbe represented
the Caucasian interest 10 the case. The exami-
nation occupied the attention of the Court for
an hour or more in the forenoon, and greater por-
ton of the afternoon, the result being that all
parties were held for Sentences. f. Paper.

The AGE OF MAN.-Professor Farrady adopts
FlOurin's physiological theory that the age Of
man is one hundred years. The duration of life
he believes to be measured by the time of growth.
When once the bones and epphyses are united
the body grows no more, and it is at twenty
years this union is effected in man. The natural
termination Of life is FIVE removes from the sew
eral points. Man being twenty years in growing,
lives i've times twenty years-that is to say one
hundred years. the camel is eight years in grow
ing, lives five times eight years-that is to say
forty years; the horse is FIVE years in growing,
and lives twenty-five years, and so with other
animals The man who does not die with sick
ness lives anywhere from eighty to one hundred
years. Providence has given man a century of
life, but he does not attain it because he inherts
disease, eats unwholesome food, gives license to
his passions and permits vexation to disturb his
healthy equipoise he does not die, he kills him.
self. The Professor divides life into two equal
halves, growth and decline, and these halves into
infancy, youth, virility and age. Infancy extends
to the twentieth year, youth to the iftieth, be-
cause it is during this time the tissues become
firm virility from fifty to seveuty-6ve, during
which the organism remains complete, and at sew
enty-fve old age commences.

How TO PUT CHILDREN TO BED.-Not with u
reproOf for any of that days sins of omission or
commission. Take any time but bedtime for
that. If you ever heard little creature signing
and sobbiug in its sleep, you could never do
this. Seal their closing eyes with kiss or q
blessing. The time will come, all too soon, when
they will lay their heads their pillows lacking
both. Let them then at least have this sweet
memory of happy childhood, of which no future
trouble or sorrow can rob them. Give them their
rosy youth. Nor need this involve wild license.
No judiciOus parent will mistake my meaning.
If you have ever met the man or woman whose
eyes have suddenly filed, when little child has
erept trustingly to its mothers breast, you may
have seen one in whose chdhood's home dignity
and severity stood where love and pity should
have been. Too much indulgence has ruined

ALWAYS NEAT.-Some folks are very charming
at evening parties, but surprise them in the
morning, when not looking for company, and the
encbantment is gone. There is good sense in
the following advice to young ladies'
Your everyday toilet is part of your charac-
ter. A girl who looks like fury" or sloven,"
in the morning, is not to be trusted however
finely she may look in the evening. No matter
how humble your room may be, there are eight
things it should contain mirror, washstand,
soap, towel, comb, hair-brush, nail-brush, and
toothbrush. These are Just as essential as your
breakfast, before which you should make good
use of them. Parents who fail to provide their
children with such appliances not only make
great mistake but commit sin of omission.
Look tidy IN the morning, and after dinner
work is over improve Jour toilet. Make it a
rule of your daily life 10 dress,up for the after
noon. Your dress may not, or need not be any
thing better than calico but with ribbon, or
some bit Of ornament, you can have an air of
selfrespect and satisfaction that invariably comes
with being well dressed
A girl with fine sensibilities can not help feel
ing embarrassed in a ragged and dirty dress, with
her hair unkemptl should stranger or neighbor
come in. Moreover, your self-respect should de-
mand the decent appareling of your body. You

SnvERED STEEL CUTLERY.-According to the
London Mechanics Magazine, Mr. Neil, of Lon
don, has devised process for SO thoroughly mix
ing silver with cutlery as to produce an article Of
great practical value. 1t has long been the Gus
tom to electroplate silver on STEEL but whenever
the external coating is ground off the steel is ex
posed, and therefore rendered liable to rust. In
the present instance the knife is finished in the
finest style, and chemically cleaned by a special
process. They are then treated with perfectly
pure silver, and the two are pressed together by
processes which are not made known by the in
ventor. 1t is asserted that the silver is driven
into the pores of the steel, and that heat aud
moisture have no perceptbe effect on the metals.
The result is knife that will not rust, is not
stained by acids, and only requires washing after
use 1t may be sharpened any number OF times,
with the result of always showing silver surface
