TIDE OF FASHION

gradually weakened their principles and
swept away their peculiaritles OF dress. III
came to pass that Methodist women could
not he distinguished by their Vestments
from other people. =,
The first manifest departure from the old
fashions was q dress short in front and long
behind. 1t greatly offended the common
taste. but it was fashionable; and from the
INV Of fashion there was no appeal. The
garment was modified by the varying tastes
Of its wearers; but those who took the lead
ina fashion wore 1t half way to the knees
before and traI;eg in the dust behind; but
il was far from riYalllng in length and gor-
seousness the train OF modern belle.
Wbile was quite young, the practice OF
TIGRT LACING
heeame common. It was deemed neces-
cary, mot only TO exhibit the bust, but by
com nuession to give ii Il graceful form. vi
all the Fashions that have ever known,
this wus carried to the most ridiculous eX:
cess. A small waist was deemed mark OF
refinement and essential TO beauty. 10 Sc
cure this mark OF perfection young iaoles
laced themselves with strongcords attached
TO bedposts, on which they bore the iuil
weight OF their bodies, or had the service
performed by muscular waiting-malds WHO
exerted their utmost strength to compress
the waists OF their young mlstresses. l
ssnnot youch for the correctness OF tue
,t ,tatement, but I often beard it affirmed tnae

yereiy laced that an ornament worn on ner

SENATOR Roscoe CoNKLING, of New
York. in the L. S. Senate on Thursday,
delivered one of the creates speeches ev-
er made in the halls of Congress, on the
political Democratic riders to the army
bill. The Senator opened with state
ment of the prOportionate amounts paid
by the North and South to the suppn
OF the Government and the proportion
of representation, and the power to ex-
pend revenues in the two sections. He
cited the case of Gen. McClellan's action
in Maryland, and his subsequent nomi-
nation by the Chicago Democratic Con-
vention. He denied that peace prevail
ed in the country, and that there was DO
cause of alarm. The optimist policy had
been mistake from the beginning He
said century of party strife had not
seen the passage of so iniquitOus a
measure as the one pending. The Dem,
Ocrats could not carry New York hon.
estly, and they were bound to carry it as
they did under the Tweed regime. II
was contest for power. He thought
the country safest in the hands of those
who saved it, and exhOrted Republicans
to oppose the schemes of the Democrat:
to the last. Mr.. Conkling spoke extern
poraneously The Senate chamber anC
galleries were crowded, and intense in
terest was manifested in the whole
speech.

Auditor of State.
Commnnicated.l

Communicated. -
Among the important offices to be
filled this Fall is that of Auditor of State
and as the time for the meeting of the
Republican Convention at Cincinnati is
drawing near, the friends of the different
candidates are presenting their claims
Permit me to present the claims Of the
Hon. John F. Oglevee, now member OF
the House of Representative from Clark
county. Mr.. Oglevee is a native of Har-
rison county. When six years of age his
father became citizen of this (BelmOnt)
county, where he received his education
and learned his trade with one of the
first Republicans of Eastern Ohio.
Mr.. 0glevee has bright and clear
military record, having served in various
capacities in the 9Sth o. V. Infantry
from its organization until the end of
the Rebellion. AT the close of the war
Mr.. Oglevee was honorably discharged
and has since resided in Clark county,
and has filled the Office of County Audi
tor in that county, and is now the ac-
knowledged Republican leader in the
House of Representatives at Columbus.
Mr.. Oglevee is ripe scholar, a good
lawyer, a gentleman and sterling Re-
publican, and in every way qualified to
fill acceptably the Office of Auditor of
State, and hope he will receive the
support of Belmont county at the
nominating convention at Cincinnati,
June 2sth. w.
