THESE TIGHT DRESSES.

The winter fashions {says the Paris CORE
spondent OF tue Philadelphia Telegraph have
now assumed fixed and decisive type Tic
hopes Of the lovers Of lnodesty and easy move
ments that tho tie-back was about to disappear
have oil been blighted- Dresses, both Tor street
and evening wear, are still fastened tightly back,
though Partisan good-taste never suffers fash
ion to be pushed to the extreme, and so belle
in full dress can still walk and sit down without
any apparent difficulty, though to pick up her
handkerchief from the floor would be manifest
impossibnity for her to accomplish. A lady
who has recently returned from En-
gland tells: me that the tie-back mania
has ragged there in fashionable So
cicty to a most absurd and exaggerated extent.
Not only were dress-skiTts made so narrow and
fastened SO tightly that lady in full dress
could get into carriage with difficulty, and
that only ut one specified side, but not content
with suppressng, like the French bellies, all
under-petticoats save. one Of elastic wooleu-
webbing, the English danes suppressed the
petticoat altogether, combining their underwear
to what I, for modesty's sake, must style cale-
cons OF glove-dtting buckskiu. No wonder that
a certain fashionable Duchess, having careless
~ thrown herself down on the green sward at
garden-partY, found herself unable to rise aud
was forced to bc assisted into q perpendicular
position by two Of her gentlemen friends.

WHY GIRLS SHOULD STUDY HARD.

larceny as bai1ee, and whom the Judge had de-
termtned to sentence to eighteen months i'm
prisonmcnt, had BY her cloquence in private
interview induced him to make the term ouly
four months and half. The Judge was so~tm-
pressed with her lady-like bearing and the force
Of her appeal that be asked her where she had
High school," "Thus,'' said Judge Peircc,
*'you see the grand results Of education" A
ripple, which swelled to roar OF mcrr1ment,
swept over the audience. 81 understand
said the Judge, in some confusion, that the
laugh is that young women should be educated
that they may be able to get their husbands out

supper in the evening be passed little dress
makers shop, and always paused to smile and
throw kiss to the young sewing-women at the
window. Finally he wrote a 1oye-lettcr to the
prettiest OF them, and she read 1t aloud ut the
sewing circle. Tie maidens were aroused aud
walk BY moonlight was accepted, and place Of
meeting named. At p. in. he stood on the
curbstone and warbled the chaste~ melody, II
love but thee, with love that shall never die,
till the sun grows cold" Suddenly five mus
cular forms clad in womanly drapery spsang
upon him, and five hickory sticks hammered his

shining in the moonlight ran down the street

The Responsible Party.

1t is curious fact that the democratic
majority in the House which appears to be
so shocked at the annual expenditures OF
the government. and is making such loud
professions of economy. is composed
largely of the very men who made the
large outlay of the government necessary.
About half of the democratic majority
were Confederate soldiers. They with
their associates forced debt of So ,000,-
100000 upon the country, and compelled
it to levy an annual tax of $l03 200, 900 to
meet the interest, 500 200, 900 to pay pen
SONS, and 100000 to provide for the
payment OF the principal. That is, over
Sl60, 100000 of our annual burdens are
directly chargeabIe to these Confederate
democrats.
And still these very men have the amaz-
inc assurance 10 cry out about the burden
which they put upon the country All the
ordinary expenses of the government to-
gether do not equal the amount which
their crime compels it to pay

TILDEN.
POLI1IC4L.

The Louisiana democrats have nominated Her
ron for Governor and Witt for Lieutenant Gov
ernor.
Both sons of Stephen A. Douglas are working
zealously for Hayes and Wheeler, in spite of DEM
ocratc claims that one OF them had come out for
Tilden.
Vance and Settle, the rival candidates for Gov
ernor of North Carolina, are stumping the State
in company dividing time" as it is called in the
South.
Our democratic reformers, having killed the
fast nails should now abolish the postal service
altogether. The glorour work of retrenchment
and reform should be made complete.
The Albany Evening Journal says there are
said to be $4,000 Government officers. Of this
number perhaps score or two-say hundred
have not borne the pressure of temptation I'M
scathed. They should, of course, all have been
honest as all men, in or out of Office should be.
But we have not yet reached the millennium. I'm
til we do, the poor is not the only class we shall
always have with US. The fair way to look a.
these $4,000 officials is to look at them we look
at any other $4,000 business men. If we do, we
very decidedly of the opinion that the officials
will not lose by the comparison.

Democratic Thunder Made-and
Spoiled.

The Biennial Register-a book of l2ll pages
contains the names and salaries of all officers and
agents, civil, military and naval of the United
States.
OF late each Of the seven hundred and fifty cop
les of this register has been invested with unusual
not to say intense, interest. That great exponent
of democracy that democratic leader of leaders in
the uouse-Fernando Wood, first discovered its
use to his party. BY intuition, indeed we will say
by sort of inspiration, he comprehended its great
value as double ended democratic political en-
gine-something of the iron clad monitor sort.
About two years since Mr.. Wood first made the
Register famous in the House when he presented
a lot of figures to show how alarmingly the re-
publicans have increased the army Of otfceholders
during the past few years. Mr.. Wood is an adroit
man-he is a reformer with bad record He
knows all the tricks, and by stutfing the Register
as he had the ballot boxes in New York, he made
an appalling display. 1t first class polit-
ical thunder generator. The republicans at once
began to study the Register and they soon discern
ed Mr.. Woods trick and thoroughly exposed
it. In the of time Mr. Woods figures
came to the Argus. They were just the thing for
Argus thunder, aud since that time they have been
made to do service in and out of season, Now
they are accompanied with an astounding display
of large, black faced type such as NINETY thous-
and office holders; an increase of thirty thousand
in six years'-"An alarming and rapacious aristoc-
racy impoverishing the people," "Laboring men,
arouse" Again they appear as if by accident or
the reeklessness of the young compostor, who,
having an eye to typographical effect, inserts the
table into the midst OF an editorial wholly obliv-
ious to the connection.
In the United States Senate a few days since,
Senator Merrimon of North Carolina undertook to
improve upon the sta stics of Mr.. Wood. He had
not seen the Biennial Registers for several years,
but gentleman had compiled from them some
statistics respecting Office holders with which he
desired to startle the country. In the words of
the Senator, his figures constitute ga statement of
the number of employees borne upon the civil list
OF the United States from 1859 to 1875 inclusive"
We will give few of them as a sample:

lishod by the New Orleans Republican: GAS an
Illustration of how the chiyalrous South accepts
the situation,' the democrats OF the Mecklenburg
District of North Carolina have nominated Ran =
dolph \. Shotwel for the Legislature. This
Shotwell IS properly named, having been cut
throat leader of the Ku klux of the first grade
and belongs now to the same brigade of reform
ers' as Gen. NJ. c. Butler of the Hamburg
slaughter. The reforming Shotwell was arrested,
tried for ku kluxing, and sentenced to the AL
bany Penitentiary for six years, but Of the
victims Of his generous reforming with several
scars or bullet marks on him, was hired or induced
in some way to petition for his pardon, and so the
President of the United States pardoned the muir
derous villain who has returned to North Carolina
and taken his place as a leading democrat.
1t is hoped the silly fellow that begged him off has
had a Kn Klux reward for his generosity. But

There has been some heather Chinee
work done on the st. Louis platform since
the convention adjourned. and the discov-
cry of the fact that the Tildcnites have
"rung in cold deck bids fair to break
up the game in row. Two very impor-
tant discrepancies are found between the
platform as actually adopted and the
platform given out as the official copy
In the resolution relating to the currency
occur the words: "We denounce the re-
sumption clause of 1875, and we hereby
demand its repeal; in the corrected copy
prepared since the adjournment of the
Convention the word is charged so as to
make it read "We denounce the resump
ton date of 1876" etc. The inflationists
perceive that it makes a great deal of diff
ference whether the demand is for the
repeal of the entire resumption clause in
the act of 1875, or whether it is the date
merely that must be changed. Again, in
the official copy of the platform the an
ti-Chinese plank, which was inserted at
the demand of the Pacific Coast delegates
is entirely omitted The soft-money men
have been hocuspocused and the Chinese
haters thimble-rigged out of their part of
the platform, and it will be interesting to
note how we'll they relish the situation.

4 Noticeable Difference.

The Maine Standard forgets to say, IN
denouncing the republican legislature OF
New Hampshire for the removal of demo-
cratic ofliceholders, that the republicans
were only following the example set them
by the preceding democratic Legislature in
turning out republicans in the same man
ner. This was the difference between
the two case when the democrats found
Union soldier, crippled through he
might be, in office. they bounced him out
without ceremony; the republicans on the
contrary when they found democrat in
Office who had been a true soldier (Which
was very rare), permitted him to hold his
Office without disturbance. The spite
against the boys in blue who logged the
southern wing of the democracy in the
battlefield is alive yet among the dough-
faces of New Hampshire, Maine and
every other State.

A Tilden Deception.

The Ken. Journal has model ideas OF reform.
T lden who saved eight millions year W .hs .aA
PAYERS of the State Of New York, without detii-
ment to the public service anu miiiioh anu
half more in the expense of transportation OF the
canals, BY breaking up the canals thieves, Is u
sham reformer.-Kaine Standard.
The way Tilden saved eight millions
year to the taxpayers of New York" is as
follows The State of New York was I'M
der democratic government from 1858 to
1872. When the democrats came INTO
power the State debt was $25 ,S07 900. Al
the end of four years, when republican
administration came in the debt had
been reduced $5,5l6,744, leaving
debt of 500, 26O, TOO. The republicans adj
ministered the State finances four years,
and during that time paid off Sl9.55i,-
1886 of the public debt, leaving the bal
ance of the debt on the lst of Jan. 1876
only $705, 9S2.35. 1t will be noticed
that the republicans reduced the debt dur
ing the four years which they administered
the finances nearly four times az much as
the democrats did in the preceding four
years.
When Governor Tilden came into Office
the republicans had nearly extingushed
the State debt, so that only very small tax
was necessary or was raised TO farther re-
duce it. The tax raised by the republic
cans in 1875 for debt purposes was S6,194,-
$50 Is. In 1876 the whole sum raised for
the same purpose was but S7o9,26o.3'.
The total reduction of the tax was there
fore $6,01S, 107 .6l, and this was effected
by the republican administration which
had Immediately preceded Mr.. Tilden as
Governor, not by Mr.. Tilden at all.
This is the great reduction of tax which
the Standard boasts Of above, reduction
the honor of which belongs entirely to the
republicans of New York, and which Mr..
Tilden and his supporters can no more ap-
propriate to themselves than they can the
honor of whipping the rebels into subms-
sion and preserving the government.

Secretary Robson gets vigorous de-
tense at the hands of the republican nj
nority in the Naval Committee. They
find that for some things he observes the
thanks Of the entire country" while in
none has he been guilty "of any official
misconduct or corruption, or any wilful
violation Of law" The criticisms of the
minority on the majority report seem just
enough. In spots that non-partisan docu-
mcut reads more like an article from a
third-class democratic newspaper than an
Official report to the House of Representa-
York Tribune.
