the French court that it was indispen-
sable to the beauty of the female fig
ufe, and was, therefore, adopted by
them. The corset was in those days
IN its infancy, and it assumed more of
the rough character Of knights
culrass. The frame was entirely of
iron, and the velvet which decorated
the exterior hid a frightful and cum
herSome machine. This state of
things, SO detrimental to health and
the cause of SO much personal incon-
Venlence, Lot to say torture could not
last long, and the artisans Of those
days contrived to give more pliability
and lightness to the metal, and pre-
pared the way by degrees for whale
bone. But, as rcformers are always
SLOW, the cold iron continued to clasp
the warm hearts of the fair wearers
Tor long time in its embrace, and
even contrlves to the present day, I'M
der the name of base-and who can
blame its pertinacity? The corset
found favor in the eyes of Louis XIV.
In the following reign the corset was
threatened with Punishment from the
toilet. Fashion took rural and sim
pie turn, and was almost guided by
the taste of Boncher, in whose pict-
ures many Of the court celebrities fig
ure as shepherds and shepherdesses.
But the painter departed, and fashion
returned to the prim eccentrcities of
the former times Dnring the revolu.
ton the corsets were again forgotten,
and under the directory it was com
pletely interdicted by the fashionable
world. The bellies Of the day took a
classic tnrn, the RomandresS, the toga.
sandal, etc The empire dcthroned
the classic fashion, but without tax
ing the corset in favor. High waists
were in favor, and Ia mode revealed a
taste certainly the reverse of prudery.
With the fall of the empire Tell also
the waist, and then came also as a.
necessity, the return Of The corset.

Evansville Journal Tor SANDER,
/ ing Hlm-A Female COrrespOn,
dents Mistakes.
Louisville Evening News, 2th.1
Some time ago a letter from this city
was published in the Evansville lind
Journal, written from this city by a lady
correspondent OF the Journal, Miss Helm,
in which we're detailed the particulars of
q scandal that very seriously affected the
domestic happiness and social standing
of a gentlemen well-known ia Louisville,
Mr.. John Rutherford. The letter in
question represented Mr.. Rutherford as
q bigimist, and charged him with other
very serious immoralities relating to his
domestic life. This letter was repro
duced in the Louisville Commercial, and
bad a wide circulation through the press
Of the country.
AS soon as its publication became
known to Mr.. Rutherford be Immediately
entered a denial to all its statements.
The Louisville Commercial came out in
an editorial article explanatory of how
the letter got into its columns, and giving
a fiat and full denial Of all the charges
made in it against Mr.. Rutherford. Miss
Helm also came out in a card in the
Courier ournsl, in which she stated that
she was satisfied with the source of her
information in relation to Mr.. Ruther.
ford's domestic life was unreliable, and
the statements contained in her letter
untrue, and deeply regretting its publica-
ton. Having thus done all in her power
to undo the mischief she had unwillingly
wrought It was supposed the matter
would end here.
But it seemst the Evansville Journal has
not fully satisfied Mr.. Rutherford, or ex-
purgated itself Of the libel upon him con-
tanned in the Helm letter. he has there
fore had the necessary papers prepared
by his attorney, Alexander Bowling,
Esq of New Albany. a gentleman who
ranks among the very best lawyers of
Indiana, for a libel suit for $500 dam.
ages against the Evansville journal, and
the papers will he filed in the United
States Court at New Albany this week.
Mr.. Rutherford is now a resident of
Memphis, but has business connections
in this city. BE married Miss Bette
Vance, Of Memphis, a former belle of
Louisville, and a lady Of rare accomplish.
ments. Both are well known and highly
esteemed in Louisville, and their many
friends when they read the very serious
charges made against Mr.. Rutherford by
the Evansville journals correspondent
we're greatly shocked, as Mr.. Ruther.
ford had always borne an untarnished
character, and was regarded by all who
knew him as a gentlemen of the most
unhinching honor, whose integrity was
regarded as of more value than millions
Of money.
The News reporter who writes the
above facts has not had an opportunity
to interview Mr.. Rutherford, and 80 he
cannot state the details as to the libel
suit, or whether the Journal declined to
publish q retraction Of the Islander such
as Mr.. Rutherford demanded. The pub.
l%ication was certainly one hat should
never have been made, and has caused
great pain to both Mr.. Rutherford and his
accomplished wife, to whom be is ten.

ford to vote for Mr.. Kortrecht for chair
man Of the common council last Friday
night. Mr.. Fisher denies the charge.
and we give him the benefit Of his de
NAL. If Pleast Williamson, the colored
man who told the story so directly to Mr..
Caro-, can be found, it will be an easy
matter to bring him and Mr.. Caro- before
q committee and sift the matter to the
bottom. Mr.. Kortrecht is likewise inter.
ested in such an Investigation, and if it
is made to appear that be vas elected by
the use Of undue means we feel assured
that be will decline to hold the position
The main fact is yet unexplained. Rad.
ford changed his vote. We cannot sup
pose that Mr.. Kortrecht knew that be
would be elected, but that he was pre-.
pared for such an emergency became
manifest when he inadvertently pulled
out q list Of committees prepared before
hand. This reminds Us Of the orator
who expressed surprise and embarrsss-
ment at being called upon to address
such an important meeting Of his fellow
citizens, but after proceeding in a STAN
mering way q few minutes pulled out a
well-vritten speech, and beginning at
the first began to read what be had just
been trying to say from memory. 1t is
beginning to be admitted that Colonel
John Donovan is not the only mar who
carries the key to the situation in his
pocket. 1t has worked its way out and
fallen into other hands. We shall see
what it will unlock next-an era of low
taxes, purified politics and prosperity or
a Psndors's box of old evils in a new
form. We sincerely hope for the best
and shall look on the brightest side
oftenest.
