The ROumanian National Costume

On Sunday last a party was given by
Mrs, Rosetti, at which all the ladies were
to appear in national costume; of course,
some broke down before the time came,
and preferred the latest fashions from
Paris. must add that these were the
least pretty ones for this national dress,
although exceedingly effective in itself, is
"A terrible ordeal to a plain woman. A
high necked chcmisette, with long loose
sleeves, profusely embroidered in leaves
and flowers and spanglcs, gathered in at
the waist by "a broad scarlet sash; white
skirt reaching nearly TO the ankles, and
braided at the bottom over this two long
aprons, IA mass of silk and worsted parti.
cOlored tapestry woven in with gold
threads; to the belt hangs coarse linen
handkerchief stitched in patterns of blue,
red, and green worstcd. Below the skirt
peeps out the miniature feet, shod with
crimson stockings and high-heeled shoes.
Young girls wear flowers in their hair,
which is plated into long thick club,
not unlike what one saw in Paris, year
or two ago, tied with broad ribbon to
ilutCH tilc COlOIs VI tllcli uiCse, iihiiieo
women put on veil of thin gauze, which
covers the back of the head, and is
draped around the neck and shoulders
like cloud, with sequins or gilt flowers
in front, and glass beads and ornaments
of every imaginable hue and shape dis
posed everywhere. The effect is very pref
ty and three of the ladies-the daughter
aud two nieces of Mr.. Rosetti-would
have created furor even in Paris, but
then these three ladies are beauties such
as one rarely meets. That they were i'm
mensely admired, especially by the for.
eigners, is incontestable; but they fell
short of the ideal, for, though they wore
the peasants dress, they did not succeed
in looking like peasants. The stamp of
refinement and distinction was there, and,
disguise themselves as they might, they
could never have been mistaken for aught
save grandes dames.-BuchareSt Cor.

British COttOns.

One influence operating in China
against British cottons and in favor of
American goods is the fraudulent prac.
tice for many years followed by the Eng.
lish manufacturers of OVERSEEING their
calicoes and filling them with clay. The
effect of this has been steady falling of
in shipments East. 1t is asserted by a
Hong Kong journal that "the Chinese
have, in very numerous instances, given
up foreign cotton goods in disgust, be.
cause they have found them so extensively
adulterated. To no other cause can be
ascribed the diminished favor in which
they are now held" Mr.. J.. A. Mann,
Customs Commissioner at Newchwang,
China, say that complaints as to deteri-
Grafton in the quality of English piece
goods continue, l regret to add, with
good and sufficient reason Mr.. Mann
goes on to show that American manu-
tacturers, Notwithstanding their disad-
vantages, have been able to place piece
goods on the China Market in consider
able quantities. These goods, be adds,
compare most advantageously with the
adulterated, short-packed rubbish that is
running the reputation of British mills y
1t is stated that over 30 per cent Of the
weight of some English piece goods
washes out in the first washes.-TOledO

SWAPPING WIvEs.-When Sir Samuel
Baker, the African traveller, was taking
leave of Kamrasi, King of Unyoro, that
potentate asked him, as particular IA
vor, to leave Lady Baker behind. This
cool request raised Sir Samuel's ire, and
in high indignation he told the King
that if he ever made such request again,
he would shoot him. Lady Baker, too,
who overheard and understood the offer,
felt that word from her would not be
out of place, and gave the monarch a
piece of her mind in the strongest Ian
guage she couldcommand. His Majesty,
for while, was greatly astonished, be-
ing unconscious of having given any of
fence. At last, seeing that his guests
were really angry, he said, in deprecat-
ing tone, Don't be angry. l did not
mean to offend you by asking for your
wife. will give you a wife if you want
one, and l thought you would have no
objections to give me yours. 1t is my
custom to give my visitors pretty wives,
and l thought you would like to exchange.
Don't make fuss about it; if you don't
like to do as others do, there's an end of
it.'-Ne,O York Sun.

THE western farmers and spectators
have discovered what their predecessors
discovered in the Crimean war, that nc
one nation can permanently benefit by
the misfortunes of another. The i'm
mense fortunes which were expected to
be made out of the Russo-Turkish war
by the fluctuations of the markets have
proved to be mere castles in Spain. The
Chicago Tribune says "that the war has
utterly failed to create the demand fol
the products of the West that was ex-
pected. ~ Pittsburgh Commercial.

COUNT Your MONEY.--One day last
week Schenectady man cashed draft
for $7O0 at bank and received $500
in small bills, which he put in his
pocket, thinking by its size that the
package contained the full amount. he
was leaving when the cashier handed
him out the balance, $400, in new, crisp
five-dollar notes. The man took them,
and supposing they were advertising
notes, distributed them amongh friends.
He was astonished at the eagerness of all
to receive them, and was stunned when
attempting jokingly to pass one in store
he was informed that the bills were good
He spent all that night and the greater
part of the next day rushing around col
lecting the billsh he had given away.

Women in India.

Lady Anna Gore Langtop, who had re-
Gently returned from India, where she
had been residing with her brother, the
Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, gov
ernor of Madras, recently delivered an in
teresting and instructive address on "The
Social Condition of Women in Southern
India" She said that Indian children
were married at eight years of age. Ma
tive fathers considered it disgrace to
have single girls in the family and en-
deaved to get them married in childhood,
but then they did not always 60 at once
to their husbands homes. Although but
little money was expended in clothes or
education, the marriages were very ex-
pensive, as there was great deal Of feast
ing, and many families had been for years
impoverished by the expense of mar
riages. Infanticide was not so prevalent
as was the case few years ago, and the
government had done great deal to put
il down. The marriages were generally
arranged by the old women, who went
from family to family in order to find
suitable matches. The men in India were,
to great extent, ruled By the women,
who were very conservative and had in
great objection to any improvement a
their customs. The lower-class women
worked very hard, pulling stone rollers,
cutting grass, and helping their husbands
in brickIaying. The natives treated wild.
ows very badly; their clothes and jewels
we're taken from them and they were
made as miserable as possible. Nothing
was more painful than the vacant, hope
less, melancholy faces of the adult wom-
en-, and nothing was more wanted than
lady doctors, who might save Indian
women much suffering. Sir Salar Jung
had exerted himself to get lady doctor,
but he had to send to America for one,
who has now large practice among the
native women.

SIMPLE WANTs.-Mr. Ruskin certainly
practices what he breaches. He says
that his father left him 100000, besides
a great deal of real estate and many val
liable pictures. His mother also left
him $1S5OOO. He gave $4,000 to his
poor relations-0, most excellent man !
sold the pictures, bought Brentwood, as
sisted young relation in business at a
cost of $4,000 on harness and stables,
and has given $4,000 to st. Georges
Company, besides having spent $35OOOO
variously. He is at present worth $27O,-
600, and announces that he intends to
give his valuable Marylebone property
to st. Georges Company, his Herne Hill
estate to his cousin, and the 100000
which will remain to him he will invest,
and live and die upon its interest.

TOOTH- strict Turk is
obliged not only to wash his hea I, face,
neck, ears, and feet, but also his teeth, at
each of the five daily calls to prayer; so
he very soon wears out his toothbrush,
and these articles are generally sold in
packets of dozen. They are made of
olive sticks about ten inches long and
half an inch in diameter. At one end,
for about half an inch, they are split in
all directions, so as to form brush close
ly resembling a stencilling-brush. 1t is
easy to see that they are not calculated
to endure hard wear. The less particular
Turks use ordinary European tooth
brushes, but as even the most lax among
them look ON the pig and all belonging
to him as vile and unclean, they would
as soon think of defiling their mouths
with a Russian bristle toothbrush as of
eating pork chop or rasher of bacon.
The shopkeeper, therefore, swears by his
head and the souls of his father and
mother that the hair of which his tooth
brushes are made grew on the back of the
camel, the COW, or the horse. ! once sug-
gested to an English merchant that he
should try to induce some English brush

A TERRIBLE drought prevails in parts
of Australia. Nearly every sheep sta
ton in New South Wales has lost from
one thousand to five thousand head of
