One thing that staggers our belief in the
hard times is the elegant dressing of our
ladies. The costumes seen on Canal street
are as expensive as ever, and the prices of
dress-making are as atrocious as ever. If it
costs more to have q dress made than the
material is worth, it would seem to follow
that either labor, the labor of sewing women,
must be excessively high, or else the Dress
makers are, as rule, extortionate. While
on the subject of dress-makers, we may state
that not only are their charges enormous and
out of all proportion to the work performed,
but their capacity for absorbing material is
simply amazing. We heard of a lady the
other day who was compelled to take her
dress-maker forty yards of material for
one dress, though it was quite impossible
that any such amount of material could have
been used, and another had to take ten
yards for a simple waist of dress. We
often wonder that sewing women who pos
sess the requisite intelligence and knowledge
Of the business do not combine and go into
business on their own account, charging fair
rates and giving quid pro quo. Some such
association is very sadly needed in New Or
leans, and we should be glad to promote it.

Growth of the West.

OF the extent to which sectional
strength III Congress has been changed
within the last twenty years, the follow
in~ returns will bear witness: In 1891 the
members of the Senate from New Eng
land and the Middle States comprised
more than onc-third of the whole num-
Der: in 1874 they comprise less than one
fourth. In 1854 the House was made up
of - members from the South, 81 from
the West and 90 from the Middle States
and New England; total. pa. In 1874
the House was made up of 81 from the
South, lO4 from the West and lO2 from
the Middle States AID New England
total, 2a2. The Western States have
nearly doubled their membership; the
New England States have lost one mem
Der, and the Middle States have gained
four. the South counting West Virgin
in As a Southern State has gained ten
members. The ruling power OF the
country is thus passing away from the
"old thirteen and their near nclghbors,
and is being absorbed by the more rapid
" growing population of the West.
But this change involves no more
danger of sectional legislation than cx-
lsted when New England and the
Middle States held the ruling power.

u,rvclous snake Fight.

The Santa Rosa, California, Democrat
of February goth, tells this story
Last August, as Mr.. Woodbridge, who
lives lust above Cloverdale, formerly OF
Petaluma, was going to his work IN the
early morning, be saw strange Hght,
something which he could not at first de-
whirling, writhing, and turning, on
the ground. On nearer approach, what
was his astonishment to discover two I'M
rnense rattlesnakes engaged IN deadly
strife. They were wrapped around each
other from the tail to within six or eight
inches of the head and never for a mo-
nent did they take their eyes ofeach other.
Now and then they would slowly un-
wind to within one or two coils of the
tail. when with an instantaneous move
ment they would again become involved
to the neck, and with jaws destined and
iangs exposed one would strike at the
other, his antagonist invariably lodging
the blow, when in turn he would be tOlIed.
After repeating their manGuvers for II
time, they would lie painting III each
others coils, and then slowly and cau-
tiously unwind only to repeat the inyolv-
mcnt and striking again. So tiercely
did they embrace each other
that one would think surely the
life would be crushed out. Strike after
strike was made on both sides, but never
once was an adversary SO far caught off
his guard as to receive Il blow. They
had been fighting over space Of fifteen
or twenty feet rs evidenced by their
tracks in the dust. To all appearances
they had been fighting all night, every
inch of ground bearing marks Of
the conflict. After looking at them
for some time, Mr.. Wooldridg"
cut Il pole some eight or ten feet loEg,
aud Just then II Mr. Murphy came up.
lie took the pole and approaching the
snakes, they simultaneously discovered
him, when loosing their hold of each
other with marvellous rapidity, the larger
one rushed at him perfectly furious 1t
recurring the second blow to stop him.
Ina moment after the other started after
Mr.. Murphy, as his now dead antagon-
ist had done, when he, too, was slain by
a we'll directed blow. One of the snakes
had sixteen and the other fifteen rattl"'.

SOME very curious discoveries are al
legged to have been made by Mr.. George
Smith, who had charge of the expedition
sent to Assyria by the London Telegraph.
In exploring As.yrian and Chaldean
mounds he has succeeded in finding in
script,ons, which when combined with
fragments in the British Museum, give
the history ofthe world 10 some period
after the fall of man. Connected with
these he found other legends of primitive
history. including tho story OF the build
inv Of the Tower Babel and the confusion
of tongues. 1t appears from these dis
coyeries that the Assyrian, Chaldean and
Mosaic accounts ofthese early events in
the history of the world are identical.
When his investigations are completed
Mr. Smith will publish s full account
thereof.

THERE are some most interfering facts
set forth IN the Sixth Annual Report Of
the State Bureau of Statistics of MasSa-
chusctts That portion relating t" the
wages of workmcn and tn" condition Of
their families deserves the notice of the
public to an unusual extent, as it touches
a subject which each year becomes more
pressing and important in this country.
The facts collected and presented by the
Bureau show that the labor of children
contributes from one-iourth to onc-third
of the means of support of the families
embraced in the investigation; that the
earnings of the father do not, in the ma
iority Of cases, provide for the family,
and vet in more than half the cases men
toned the parties contriy to save money.
Taking these facts into consideration,
the Report advises the gradual with
drawal of children from factory-work for
u stated time, i'll order /" provide for
their education. Upon the subject Of the
hours of labor no recommendation j.
made.
