The Rev. Wayland HOyt of Boston, in his
address before the Sunday Teachers Association

Tie.Back Skirts.

1t is the Buffalo Express that says
this about tie-back skirts:
We regret TO have discovered a FASH
ion that, if it is not ungraceful, is
indecent, The present fashion of
drawing back skirts, tight waists, and
enormous bustles, is altogether too
suggestive. 1t leaves too little room
for Imagination to make 1t in any de-
gree artistic. A fashion that sharply
defines the outlines of the lower
limbs, and the bust, and exaggerates
posterior protuberances which so
nearly initiates the stage costume of
tights that one can almost see the play
of the muscles as she walks-such a
costume might do well enough for the
nude drama, or possibly might be toll
Grated if worn exclusively indoors at
home. But To parade upon the streets
in broad day light, with "a costume
expressly designed 10 throw into prom
inence those parts Of the form which
skirts were originally designed to
mOdestly conceal, seems to us TO call
for but one term-indecent

of preservation, has good appetite,
aud is not bald, his hair being of II

every day, and does some other work.
He has but little conversation, aud his
memory is defective
Mr.. Grimaldi, of this city, father OF

BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
The Person of n CoIorcd woman Out.
ragged by Rufiians.

From Knoxville Chronicle. Aug. Is. 1851
Monday evening, little before sun
set two respectable colored women,
named respectively Mijah Lasler and
Evalne Killgo, accompanied by two
Juveniles Henry Turks aud Willis
Killgol, were gathering wild plums in
the woods, on the Armstrong farm,
about two miles north of the city. One
of the women (Mijah Laster) remarh ed
to her companion that she would go
farther up from where they were
20 see Il she could get riper
plums than the ones they were gath
ering. she had gone but "a short dis
lance till she was pounced upon by a
bold tiend in human shape, who drug
her in among the underground and
told her If she gave any alarm he would
kill her. He had an accomplice with
him, who kept somewhat at distance,
undoubtedly fearing recognition. The
elder of the two carried or dragged her
along to fence, and after crossing the
fence, brutality outraged her person.
Not satisfied with the commission of
this the most heinous crime, they still,
dispite her tears and begging to be re-
leased, kept her in their custody, and
walked her around through the woods,
until she, being in an advanced state
of pregnancy, was delivered of child.
They afterwards departed, leaving her
in the woods. She made her way to
where Mr.. Larew was passing with a
wagon, who very kindly conveyed her
to her residence on Asylum street.
DR.. French was called in, who adj
ministered to the unfortunate womanis
medical wants.
Sheriff Swan was notified of the oc-
currence, who started out in search of
the ruffians. He arrested suspicious
character near the passenger shed yes
terday afternoon. He was taken by
the Sheriff, in company with several
other entire strangers, 10 the residence
of the injured woman, who, after care
fully scrutinizing the personal appear
ance of the fellow, stated that she
could not swear positively as to his be-
ing the man, but that he resembled
him somewhat. The Sheriff held him
in custody, to await further develops
ments. Late yesterday evening, an
other man was arrested on suspicion,
and taken before the colored woman,
who promptly pronounced him mot
the man." and he was released and
as the first man arrested had been with
the latter eight miles below the city,
he was also released.
Up to "a late hour last night no fur
ther developments had been made I;
and the authors of the inOffensive,
peaceable colored woman's pitiable ca
lamity are still at large. 1t is to be
hoped that they may be placed within
the grasp of the law, and have the pun
ishment melted out to them which the
heinous' css of their crime demands.

RAIN FALL FOR 1875.
How IL Compares WIN the Previous
Year.

The rain fall In the Ohio valley and
Tennessee for the month of July has
been far in excess of the usual amount,
inflicting serious damage and loss of
property, while in the cotton producing
belt the prolonged drought was some
thing wonderful. The precipitation
for the whole month did not exceed
inch. There was also marked de-
ficiency in the South Atlantic States
end on the Pacific slope, but in the in
terror, including the Ohio valley aud
Tennessee, and the Central MISSISSIPPI
ri and the Lower Missouri valleys. an
equally marked excess of rain was re-
ported. The excess was very great in
the lower Missouri valley, amounting
to nearly inches while in the Ohio
valley and Tennessee the excess of
rain has been alarming and almost I'M
paralleled, being 81 inches more than
Is usual in July, or three times the
normal quantity that falls in that
month.
In large belt Of country north of
Kentucky and Missouri, ia months
rain fall ranged from 10 to 10 inches
a precipitation which has taxed the
central tributaries of the Mississippi
beyond their utmost drainage power,
and caused damaging floods aud ex-
tensive ravages of the growing crops.
Some of the heaviest rainfalls for the
month were as follows:
AT Louisville, l6 As inches; at In
dianapolis, 1872 inches; at KeolIuk,
1910 inches; at Ft. Gibson, 1898
inches; at Omaha, 1000 inches.
At Beech Grove, Indiana, for the
week ending August LIST, the rainfall
was ll.60 inches

A young lady who resides few

refused the hand of a young man, who
offered her service for life. He had
the boldness to remark to her that
there was "still as good fish in the

replied to him that his statement was
correct, but that the young ladies now
a-days did not bite at hook that had
no bait on it.

The CrIsmnm.Tucker Affair,

In view of the fact that the Rev. Mr..
Crisman is now undergoing a trial for
an alleged intimacy with Mrs. Tucker,
the following from the Loudon Times
will prove interesting:
The attempt on the part of certain
"lewd fellows of the baser Sort to
mildew and blast the life aud destroy
the usefulness of the Rev. John Girls
man, has a different objective point
than scandal, and taste to be diving
into the cesspoOl of nastiness. Like all
other devilment and mischief there is
money at the bottom of it.
Mrs. Tucker, whose name has been
associated with Mr.. Crisman's. in a
"made to had, and prepared to order"
tale of shame, is lady of known vir-
tue and piety, whose character for
many years has been like Casar's wife,
far above suspicion. Simply for the
purpose of affecting the result of IA GER
tain suit that is now pending in the
courts of the country, lady's good
name is sought to be furnished and
linked with crime and infamy, Such
completing together, and contriving
new feats of scandal, for a vitiated and
corrupt public taste, and at the same
time serving private ends, at the ex-
pense of character, is transaction of
hell, that should be frowned down by
all the good and virtuOus of the land,
and those who are engaged in the cow
ardly and dastardly act should be spit
upon and kicked without the pale OF
respectable and decent society.
