The PASIEa.-This lately revived article of
female costume fiourished in the time of Louis
XIV and conss led of petticoat made Of basket
work. They were even made OF wood, with bars
OF iron. and were originally introduced from
Spain by Anna of Austria. mother of Louis NV.
and were the fashion for about twenty Years dur
ing the reign OF Louis XIII. For nearly GEN.
fury they disappeared, and it was not until the
time of Louis NV that they once more became
the mode. Barber. in his interesting diary,
published more than century ago in Paris. tells
us that "the Cardinal de fleury has had his
legs much cut by the paniers of a certain lady
with whom he was recently returning from
religious service. You know these paniers so
monstrous that two persons cannot well occupy
the same chair on account OF their size. His
eminence insisted upon returning home in the
carriage Of Madame -, and, as he is stout
man, he come how or other broke her panier,
and the wooden bars wounded his legs so that
he had to be carried ont of the chair, with the
blood trucking down his calves As for the lady.
she laughed tit to kill herself at this spectacle,
which has made all Paris roar Further on he
tells us: These paniers are so big that when
the Queen is seated in her reception room with
mesdames, the sisters Of the King on either side
of her, their pettcoats hide her Majesty so COM
plete!y that the King has issued an order to the
effect that there shall always be two vacant
chairs ID either eide OF her Majesty

AcrIox OF CoxGREss on SEWING Ma
cuISEs.-The most important action of
Congress for the last twenty years in re-
gard to sewing machines. was that Of Sat-
urday. when Senator Hamilton of Nd from
the committee on patents. reported ad.
versely on the application Of A. b. VIII
son, for an extension Of bis patent covering
the four motion feed. the patent for which
expired two years since. The sewing ma
chine combination, in which is included
the Wheeler & Wilson. Wilcox & Gibbs,
Singer, the Cover i Baker and the Howe,
for two years have worked hard for this
extension and have spent great deal Of
money. A number Of attorneys and lob
byist have hung about the committee room
and the patent Office nearly all the time.
but the thousands Of petitions signed BY
over three millions Of people, asking that
the extension be refused. proved to be too
strong. Many Of the signcrs are manu-
fac.urers. using in some cases as high rs
City machines. The effect Of this refusal,
it is said. will be ultimately to reduce the
prices of machines to as low as $50.
though this cannot take place until the
Bachelor feed motion, which is now iu use
on all the different machines. runs out
II was in testimony before the committee
that the Wheeler 4 Wilson Machine,
which sells for SIS. costs but q trifie over
Sl2 to manufacture it. These and all
other machines are not protected in En-.
rope. and they can be purchased there
and brought here at cost Of about $40,
including all expenses. One Of the rea-
sons urged in favor of the extension was
tha':ifit was refused. machines will sell so
cheap that owners of the same will not
take proper care of them. and they cited
cases where machines have been in use for
nineteen years aud are still good.
The June number Of Blackwooi's Magazine,
which completes Volume CIV. is filed, as
usual, with interesting matter, aud is proof
that instead of degeneraiing. this periodical,
like wine, mellows and improves with age.
The serials, alice Lorraine and "yalen-
tine and his Brother" are continued. Both
have already received 90 much favorable notice
that we need only say tina, their interest remains
