Yankee Superiority.

DR.. Donald Kennedy Of the Highlands
now travelling in En- CLAN |, is. though
Scotch born. Il thorough Yankee enough
for all practical purposes. In his las
letter to the Suffolk Couty JoururI
in speaking of Il village on the dom ,ins
Of the Marquis of Westminster, he
says
The children were coming ont o
school: they looked healthy IN rosy. bat
not rs neat and tidy rs the children of our
New England villages, there is nothin9
that l have seen in England or Scotland
that can in any way compare with them.
Here they have :, profu>ion Of green ivy.
that has very pleasing effect. bat take
our white cottages. green blinds. white
fences, and we'll cultivated flower p,che>
in the front yards in New England villages,
nestled among the mountains, and YOU can
not find anything in Europe like it. Th"
same thing may be said of the boys and
girls. English women are sal by many
novel writers to be very beautiful; if thai
is the case, | EN- truly unfortunate, for |
have only seen one Of them. and that was
a farmers daughter, ut the horse fair in
Chester. In elasticity of step and in grace

great drawback to their gool looks is the
dullnesS of their eyes; in some Of them il
amounts to look Of stupidity; and when
YOU compare it to the lively. sparkling
glance OF y Yankee girl, the difference i
quite plain to be seen. Yol can pick on
the Yankees in the hotels simply by III,
glance of their eyes"

How HEBREW BEAUTIES DRESSED IN
SOLoMON's DAfs.-1t Is an interesting
fact and true to i great extent that the
STYLE Of dress and ornaments of the He
brew ladies of the present day-and in
fact the prevailing toilet of all ladlcs-ls
much the same as during the time of Sol
ONION. With all the changes and vlri,-
tions Of centuries. the gradations of CHG
mons and crinolincs, we now flnd much OF
the simple grace and easy symmetry of
ancient Greece.
The Scriptures narratc 4 great many
things about the style of dress worn IN the
time of Solomon, and in the law OF Moses
several directions are given concerning
garments worn bv the Israelitcs. In the
Book Of Judges the girls of that period
are described by Deborah as "a prey ol
divers colors of needle work, while Lem
uel saws, Their clothing is Of silk and
purple" In the frequent intercourse be
tween the Jewish and other nations the
ladies, tired Of their primitive simplicity
sought the fashions of the clever Egyptians
the elegant Phpnicians, and the luxurious
Persians. Even patient job became i'm
patient at the dresses. and Isaiah denoun
ces the - women Of that period," living
for nothing but dress and Irritation will
the one desire to " see and be seen"
The tunic worn by the ladies in the time
of Solomon, was much like the polonaist
of today, and the belt with fancy clasp,
now worn are just about the same rs the
leather girdles and silver buckles worn o
old We also find that trains were worr
to dresses, and that camel's hair shawl>
were common. Embroidered mantles
fastened with golden pins. are also spoken
of. The hair was also oiled. dyed and pu,
up in coils; little curls were let hang over
the forehead and strange to say, the girls
of Solomon's time. it is stated. used tt
paint Wells were worn, and sandals were
made of blue and violet colored leather
with fancy latchets. Solomon, as is relted
said to Shulamite, " How beautiful are thy
feet, o Princes daughter.'. Hair net:
were worn, and earrings Of all forms an'
much value were very common. Brace
lets on the right arm. strings of PEARL
and heavy gold chains around the neck
rings on the fingers, and other ornament
were all worn by the ancient Hebrev

At the close OF Mr.. Beck's speech general COL
l0quy arose as to the Limitation OF the debate.
Mr.. MAYNARD, (rep.) or Tenn, wanted TO have
the debate confined to ten or fifteen minute
speeches

could not say all ne knew on the subject In five
minutes did not know any thing about II. gf

made an alluston to the fable OF the man with the

The arrangement finally was that there should
be an evening session tonight for debate and that
the previous question would be seconded at hall
