Imitation and Contraction

Harpers' Bazaar is not an exchange that
usually receives very deep study in the SEN
tinel Office, but the rather Curious figure
which some of our fashionable ladies cut in
the streets prompted the editor to look over
the official organ of the fair sex to see what
was the latest mischief they were up to in
the way of wearing apparel. As Sancho
Panza very sagely remarks, " it isn't always
Santiago, and charge Spain," and therefore
there are times when it is well to cease from
the discussion of the currency, electors and
presidential candidates, and pay little at
tention to more Interesting matters. The
proper study OF mankind just now is
woman. Consulting the Bazaar for informatio n
has not been on the whole very satisfactory
process, as the language employed in that
valuable periodical is dialect that a
man only conversant with the English clas-
sizes can not readily comprehend.
1t is clear enough, however, that the ten
dency to narrow the skirts which has held
sway for some years, still continues. Not
long ago woman's gown was spread abroad
like gorgeous tent. The mass of her dra-
perry filled an omnibus or church pew with
pillows of silk and muslin. "Come round
in front of me-" said a French lady to gen.
tleman who was bidding her good bye. ST
havn't time," was the answer, 81 must
catch the five o'clock train" In those
days the circumference of fashionable
belle seemed journey like the
Recommendation of the globe. Gradually,
however, the style changed. The skirts fell
into narrower compass and dropped in
graceful lolds, instead of standing out over
hoops like the canvass on an emigrs Mt
wagon. \ happy era o! elegance ana beauty

Tae August Elections

The first of the state elections takes place
in Kentucky on next Monday, and win
probably result in an easy victory for the
democracy. The canvass has been dull and
spiritless, and the Courier Journal estimates
the probable majority for McCreary at &C, 900,
which is not, perhaps, an extravagant figure
in the staunchest and most Trustworthy
opposition state in the Union.
On the Thursday following the election
takes place in North Carolina, and there a
stubborn contest may be expected, for the
state has never yet been completely rescued
from csrpet-bag control, and the republicans
are making their last stand, acknowledging,
according to Charles Nordhoff, "that If they
are defeated in August, their party organ
