Tie Worlds CORRESPONDENCE.

EVERY day shows more strikingly
how fruitful of great results was the
idea put forward by Sir Rowland Hill
forty years. ago, revolutionizing the
fundamental principles Of postal SER
vice organization.
The uniformity of low postal tariff
has become common blessing for all
countries Of the world. Steam COM
mum and the extraordinary ex-
pansion of commerce have no doubt
contributed the largest share toward
multiplying correspondence, but in
order to produce the great results be-
fore us reforms have been necessary
in postal administration. We owe
them to commercial and postal treaties
and especially to the late postal con-
gress at Berne.
In some European countries the
growth of correspondence has been as

W0men's Clothing.

The London Examiner reads the
women lecture on clothing which
we doub. if they will heed, still the
truths told are, nevertheless, peril
nent.
OF late there have been many signs
that women are at last becoming alive
to the strong control of clothes upon
their fate. From time to time we hear
of revolutionary institutions to free
them from the weight of ruchings and
burst for them the letters of Valen-
cienneS and ribbons. Now it is band
of sedate English women who have
pledged themselves to a convenient. if
doleful livery of perpetual black now
it is the patriotic and contrite ladies
of Prussia who, under Imperial pa
tronage, swear resistance to their too
fondlV obeyed tyrants and natural foes.
the milliners OF Paris now it is a fiery
squadron of American Amazons who
are enrolling themselves to do battle
with the hostile world for health, hap.
piness and trousers.
We all find food for mirth in such
associations, for we are agreed that
dress is a trife, and the idea of an as
ISOLATION at all about such an indiffer-
ent matter, reminds us of the famous
tempest IN a teacnp--and when trouS-
ers get into the discussion we laugh
still more, because it is understood
that the mere name of trousers is a
capital joke. Yet, after all, there is
something to be said for the women
who "agitate' about their clothes

though looking never SO comfortable
and never SO picturesque, could entice
the female multitude to initiate their
venture. Ii ever material altera-
ton is effected it must be by the union
of many. Here is difficulty at the
threshold. for such union conld III be
achieved except by the efforts of an
association, and in such a cause the
very name of association is a hind
rance, suggesting suicidal parade and
publicity over reform in which of all
others. an uuobstrusive modesty would
be essential.
Surprising that difficulty disposed Of,
the fatal difficulty is reached: What

THE MINUET.

Grandma told me all about it.
Told me, SO couldn't doubt it.
Row she danced-my grandma danced
Long ago.
How she held her pretty head.
How her dainty skirt she spread
low she turned her little toes
Smiling little human rose!--
Long ago.
Grandma's hair was bright and sunny;
Dnnpled cheeks, too--ah, how funny;
Really quite pretty girl,
Long ago.
Bless her! why, she wears cap,
Grandma does, and takes a nap
Every single day; and yet
Grandma danced the minuet
Long ago.
Now she sits there, rocking, rocking,
Always knitting Grandma's stocking
Every girl was taught to knit
Long ago..
Yet her figure is SO neat,
And her way so stalG and sweet,
l can almost see her now
Bending to her partners bow,
Long ago.
sGrandma says our modern jumping
Hopping, rushing. whirling, humping,
Would have shocked the gentle folk
Long ago.
Motley moved with stately grace,
Everything in proper place,
Gliding slowly forward, then
Slowly courtesying back again,
Long ago.
Modern ways are quite alarming,
Grandma says; but boys were charming
Girls and boys, mean, of course
Long ago.
Bravely, modest, grandly shy
What il all of us should try
.lust to ieel like those who met
In the graceful minuet
Long agoY
With the minuet in fashion,
Who could fly into passion!
All would wear the calm they wore
Long ago.
IN time to come, if |, perchance,
Should tell my grandchild OF our dance.
| should really like to say,
"We did it, dear, IN some such way.

Gen. Marion secured his prisoners
