A NOVEL IDEA.

A Party az which the Ladies' were
Dressed In Classic Greek Cos.
tunes.
London Letter to Cincinnati Commerciall
The rebellion against Puritanical
ideas Of life among the middle
classes, the culture of household
art, and of unconventional amuse-
ments, have to be carried on, as it
were, in social conservatories, and
it is carried on timidly enough
amid these vast hordes of Nav
worm, Chadband, Stiggins & Co.,
who are ready to pounce on any
thing pretty, from bouquet to a
theater. A lady has just made an
experiment at her house near Lon
don. She invited a large company,
in which every lady was to be
dressed in classical Greek style.
Nearly eighty ladies appeared, all
in this dress, the gentlemen being
in ordinary evening dress. The
hostess had been animated by a
desire to introduce the ancient
Greek costume into English draw
ing-rooms, but it is probable she
will be little encouraged by the result
of the first attempt. The Philis-
tines have already built up large
mythology about these fair Greek
insurgents. One story, for instance,
is that a lovely girl, being asked
what her upper garment was, re-
piled, "a POPULAR" the suppoSition
being that she meant her peplos or
peplum. OF course Mrs. GrundY
has told her catalogue of the expo
sures Of flesh and figure for which
she has such a keen eye. But in
fact, the general effect of the scene
was marred because Mrs. Grundy
had SO largely been employed by the
ladies as their dressmaker. Only
a few ba,l the courage to dress any
thing like tie Greek ladies Of an
tiquity the majority had simply
worn the costume over thick Eng
lish under-garments, which made it
about as attractive as if it had been
stretched over wires and wax at one
Of the Alexandra costume exhibit
tions. This necessity was especially
cruel where the lady happened to
be stout. The ancient Greek cos
tune was based upon an honor, not
to say reverence, for the female
form, which has no existence in
England. Its object was to display
that form, not to display itself. So
far as tissue and style are concerned,
many European costumes are as
much more beautiful than the Greek
as a stained window is than plain
glass, where the object is the win
dow-pane, and not transparency.
Climate and historic combinations
have determined the morale of
English dress, and the Greek party
has only manifested the strength Of
its position. Little by little the
dress is becoming more beautiful,
and more subordinate to the form,
but its future will hardly be a re-
naissance of any kind. However,
the experiment is one incident of
the struggle which the long Puri-
tanized middle class of England is
making to emancipate itself from
the Holy Empire Of Ugliness which
has SO long held its iron sceptre
over the North, and which seems
to have made the lower glasses over
into its organic subjects.

Our Tome Ret.
Chamber JOurual.I

Chamber Journal
During the winter evening, when
the children were engaged with
their lessons, our tame rat, Billy,
was usually to be found on the
table rummaging among the books
and catching at their pens, which
latter amusement be employed very
much after the manner Of kitten
running after a knitting-needle
drawn quickly up and down; but
as these amusements rather inter-
lsred With the studies, Billy would
occasionally be dismissed to the
kitchen, to which he had a great
dislike. He never stayed there
longer than he could help, but on
the first chance would rush up the
stairs and scratch, or rather, l
should say gnaw, for admittanCe.
Speaking of this gnawing leads me
to observe that one objection ] had
to receiving him was the fear that
he would be very mischievouS, but
fortunately never found him
SO. He had free access to a
pantry where a variety of
eatables, usually considered dear
to rats heart, were to be
found; but | never knew him to
injure anything, or even to cut the
paper covering Of any parcel, no
matter what it contained. No
doubt it was partly owing to his
being so we'll fed that he was not
driven to theft by hunger. | gem
orally scattered for him on the
shelves some grains Of rice or pickles
or starch, and to these he helped
himself when inclined. From soap
or candles he turned away in dis
gust, being far too well-bred q rat to
indulge in such low tastes, but he
dearly loved o bit of plum-cake
and, shall | confess it, he was by no
means a teetotaler. If ale was used
lot dinner, he would rush eagerly
about the glasses until he was sup
piled with some in spoon. | be-
lieYe, before he came to us, he had
been accustomed TO stronger po.
tations, in which, however, we
did not indulge him. | have
said he was not mIseAleyous,
neither was he, as mischief among
rats Is generally understood but
there is no rule without exception,
and Billy had a decided peuchant
for kid gloves. II any were left
9aEelessly about, he was sure to get
hold Of them and have the fingers
eaten off in a few minutes. / can
not tell how many gloves he de-
stroyed, until repeated lessons of

ment to the First regiment of
United States infantry, he was sta
toned many years in Baton Rouge
and in this city, in which latter
place he became soon the intimate
friend Of some Of our worthiest citi-
zens, whose names are State celeb
rites, such as Grymes, Mayensau,
Soule, Rozelius, Marigny, William
De Buys, John L. Lewis, and
Others too numerous to mention.
81 had the honor, while quite
young, of making the acquain-
tance of General Harvey, just
before the battle of Oerro Gordo,
when Captain R. E. Lee and myself,
having made the reconnaissance by
which Santa Ana's left flank and
rear could be turned, met him at
General SCOTS headquarters to ex-
plain to him the topography Of the
country, the route he would follow,
and the obstacles he might expect
to encounter, for he had been select
ed by the general in chief to COM
mand the troops who were to as
sault the fortified crest of Cerro
Gordo, defended by. Santa Ana's
veterans who had just returned
with him from the bloody field of
Buena Vista.
I" | remember distinctly the quiet
and oficer-like manner in which
General Harney received our infor-
nation and the facility with which
he seemed to understand all we had
to say on a matter of such import
ance to himself and command. The
next morning when the attack COM
menced it was truly exhilarating
to see him charging sword in hand
along the steep slope Of that hill,
his tall manly figure towering faI
above the gallant officers and men
who surrounded him. 1t was d
sight never to be forgotten. he
was one Of the first inside the enc.
my's works, unhurt and ready to
attack the other positions on oul
right still held by the Mexicans
But the key Of those positions be.
ing then in our possession and the
line of retreat to the City of Mex.
leo being cut off, the Mexicani
were compelled to surrender uncon,
ditionally. Santa Ana, however
had hastily mounted his horse al
soon as he had noticed the fal
of Cerro Gordo, and made good hi:
escape, leaving. in our hands hi
carriage containing an extra corl
leg, his private and public paper
and his baggage.
From that battle to the end 0
the war General Harney becam,
the favorite Of all the young officer
Of the army, whom he always treat
ed with that kindness and urbanit,
of manners which distinguish hin
to this day.

In 1853, when Hanover and other

My friend, who was "behind the

received a package from the bride.elect.

ton his love of music; when he
heard the piano he would rush to
the drawing-roem and spring to
the performers knee, where he
would remain perfectly quiet, evi-

When he first came he was very
restless, seeming to live in a state
Of perpetual motion; but he soon
learned to come upon the knee to
be caressed and have his head
rubbed, which operation afforded
him intense enjoyment. He would
have lain in state of supreme de-
light for an hour if anyone would
have rubbed his head for so long.
