ANCIENT HEBREW LADY's TOILET.

The first thing that would have struck
us in examining the garb-robe of He
brew lady, would have been the guam
tity of dresses. Ia this great age of
simplicity such a thing would natur-
ally astonish us. Hebrew women were,
indeed, fond of dress, and the luxury
among them manifested in the rVhness
and variety Of dresses ; and the guam
tity of ornaments and iewelry was. soon
carried to such an extent that it became
necessary to protest against it. There
is no doubt that, as the intercourse be-
tween the Jewish and other nations in
creased, the ladies felt no longer salts
fed with primitive simplicity. The
fashions of the clever Egyptians, the
elegant Phmnicians, and the luxurious
Persians, were soon eagerly sought af-
ter and produced. Even patient Job
got impatient at the dresses, and all of
us have read that magnificent, bold de-
nunciation of Isaiah, as with whitening
sarcasm he denounces the women of
the period" living for nothing else but
dress and Irritation, ard having but
one desire, 90 TO see and to be seen"
Now, look first at the under-garment
ketOnet tunica. 1t was worn by men
and women, but of course women had
things made of the very best material
It was made of wool or linen, white or
blue, now and then striped, and after
ward-thanks to the Persians-of a
silky material. It was worn on the
naked body, and person wearing it is
often described as naked, which in the
language of the nineteenth century,
means that she was en- neglige. The
eastern dresses are all very far from be-
ing close fits, and the ketonet was at
first a loose garment, without sleeves,
reaching down to the knees 1t is sup
posed that the poor wore no other dress
except the ketonet.

JACK PIERCE,
The auction man Of the West, makes
things lively on his side Of the square, iudg-
ing, as we do, from the amount Of goods We
see leaving his house, purchased at mere

How Jack gets HIS goods is another thing,
but we suspect him in some way connected
with that class of merchants who get their
goods in that mysterious way that enables
them to sell for ono half the price Of the
other merchants.
And but the fact that we have known Jack
for 10 these many years, we might 20 a

AMYsTERY OF VICKsBURG.

The Yicksburg correspondent of the
NelC York Times states that one remark
able circumstance in connection with
the recent fight there is that no one
seems to have been wounded, and that
not one negro out of prison will ac-
knowledge having been engaged in the
disturbances. He adds "How many
were killed is a question which no one
seems prepared to answer definitely. A
Republican office-holder tells me that
not less than two hundred were shot.
Owens, who commanded the largest
company of negroes, says that he is
sure that not more than thirty were
killed. A number of white men who
were in the fight, and in position to
see everything that occurred, state pos
itively that not less than fifty negroes
fell Where these men were buried Is
a mystery, and how they were convey
ed from the battlefield no one seems
to know. l was careful 20 visit many
of the cabins near Vicksburg, but was
unable TO find a wounded negro, or a
household which had lost one of its
members. The colored people go about
their usual avocations as if nothingun-
usual had happened, and as if they had

rHE cLxRKsHIr OF THE SENATE.


We are pleased to learn that our ac-
complished friend and fellow-citizen, q.
w. Ewing, Esq, will be candidate be-
fore the next State Senate for the Chief
Clerkship of that body. We can say
very truthfully that there is no one
within our knowledge who could more
efficiently fill that Office. We have seen
him serve in a similar position on sew
eral occasions, and his ready compre-
hension, clear enunciation. ringing
voice and quick motion, have marked
him as being peculiarly the man for
such duties. ALI who attended the
Congressional Convention at Columbia
last summer will readily bear testimo-
ny that he viii make most excellent
Chief Clerk. His experiences as Chief
Clerk on that occasion was observed BY
all present. Add to these qualifications
sobriety, honesty, industry, talent, tact
and energy, and you have z. w. Ewing
and splendid clerk. Our friends in
the Senate are urged to consider wsl
his claims.
