Ladies Wearying of Monograms.

The whirligig of fashion is bringing round
an old-iashioned decoration, which has its
merits. Ladies are wearying Of monographs,
and are adopting emblems and notices The
fourteenth and early sixteenth centuries were
the time when notices and ianciful emblems
tlourshed most abundanty Beside his he
reditary bearings, every knight had some
cmblems Of fantasy, and every lady her
symbol, which might he changed at pleas
urc. When these We're embroidered on
dresses the effect was quaint and variegated,
and gave each costume kind of originality.
Parishians have rediscovered this, and birds
and notices are embroidered all over dresses.
A well-graced land well-puffed) actress,
who is the reverse of stout in figure, ap-
peared lately with the device of ravens on
her array. Her rival, who is not sim, OBJ
served that "wherc the skeleton is the ravens
are gathered together" Swallows are more
common than the sombre bird of the Danish
banner-perhaps to indicate that the wearer
intends flying, flying south" Gold swal-
lows are worn on II blue satin ground,
though naturalist might prefer to reverse
the colors.
Ladies of fashion, if the fashion prevails,
will soon look AS quaint as did Jacquelinc
dc la Grange in her costume broidered with
pink eagles and black ducks, or Anne of
Bohemia with the crowned ostrich. The
notices may slip from writing paper into
wider use, and poets, once more style them
selves on their title pages, te mnAi de hesse
The old motto would serve many Of the new
poets very well, and the fashion will at least
add some variety to existence, till the thing
sign Of inward mednvaism.

A MODEL CONFESSION.
[StubenyiIIe Gazette.J

loCuOeHYlllc OaAoIlc.J
Several years ago, in Western town,
Il young lawyer, member of a large
church, got drunk. The brethren said
he must confess. He demurred. He
knew the members to be good people,
but they had their little faults, such as
driving sharp bargains, screwing the
laborer down to low wages, loaning
money at illegal rates, lnisrepresenting
articles they had for sale, etc. But they
were good people, and pressed the law
ycr to come before the meeting and
own up his sin of taking glass too
much, for they were temperance people
and abhored intemperancc.
The sinner went to the confession,
found n large gathering of brethren and
sisters, whose bowed heads rose and
whose eyes giistcned with pure delight
rs the lawyer began his confession: "I
confess" he said, Ethat never took
ten per cent for money" On that con-
fession down went brothers head
with a groan. 81 never turned poor
man from my door who needed food
and shelter" Another head went
down. 81 confess ] never sold skim
milk cheese for new one;" whereup-
on woman shriekcd for mercy. 81
confess that have not been Pharisai-
cal and sclf-righteous, and have not
sought to injure or persecutc those who
have not happened to agree with me-
when down dropped numerous heads.
| tI confess that never played the hyp'
| ocrite, and 1 do not lie, and that
have not used religion as cloak;
| when down went several other heads
| and among them tho heads of the very
ones who were SO anxious that ht
| should confess. ttBut," concluded thu
! sinner, "I have been drunk, and an
very sorry for it," Whcrcupon tn
meeting quietly dispersed.

never find out what was going on
there until the act was proclaimed
through the papers. He said the argus
eyed press of New Orleans could send
correspondents up to Baton Rouge and
the proceedings of the Legislature
would be rs fully reported as they are
now. Baton Rouge was not more than
eight hours from New Orleans, even
now. The attractions of Baton Rouge
were not so fascinating as to lead men,
bers astray from their duty. Commit
tees could always get quorums to do
their work when the capital was at
Baton Rouge, which was the reverse
here. He thought the cost of main
tanning the present State House would
not be less than $4O0, 0,OOO within the
next five years. Besides, the building
was totally unfit for a State House,
aud q new building would in the end
have to be built.

A man of mark arrived in this city
On Saturday last in the person Of Gen.
VIM. w. Loring, late of the Khedivc's
army. Gen. Loring, now in his 61st
year, has been a soldier for ~ years,
and has fought in six wars. He comes
of an old Southern family, and was in
the Confederate army during tho late
rebellion. He was the first man to take
a body of mounted cavalry across the
Rocky mountains. For ten years he
has held the rank of Ferdik Pasha, the
highest military rank in Egypt, next
to that of the Khedive. Gen. Loring
left Egypt in April last, and since that
time has been revisiting continental
capitals. He has now come home to
settle down and end his days in well
earned peace.-Ne,o York Herald.

FEMALE FOOT.

Among the many delusions which
affect the female mind, one of the most
deeply rooted is that which holds that
the smaller the foot the more beautiful
it is. 1t leads them to intiict a great
deal of pain upon themselves in tho
effort to put a No. foot in a No.
shoe. This, of course, invites corns,
calosities, bunions, and those curious
involvemcnts and entanglements OF
toes which follow the wearing OF tight
shoes. The elasticity of the step IS I'M
paired for walking or dancing, ana the
pleasure of motion and exercise lcst 10

THE SOUNDING LINE.

The deepest measurement In the
Atlantic has been by the Challenger,
some eighty miles north of the Virgin
Islands-3S75 fathoms, or $3.50 feet
about IA miles. Over much of the
area the depth ranges between 1000 and
5000 fathoms. An irregular ridge runs
along the middle, and there the depth
is less than 1000 fathoms. North of SO
degrees from Ireland to Newfoundland,
where the cables are laid, extends a
similar depth. Around the British
Isles the sea is nowhere above 400 feet
deep. The Pacific Ocean was formerly
considered much shallower than the
Atlantic, maialy ON account OF the
many islands it contains. This notion
has been lately overthrown by various
soundings. The islands rise abruptly
from the bottom, and very deep sound
ings have been taken near their shores.
Over large part Of the area the depth
is above 1000 feet, but in other places
it is from 5000 to 1000 fathoms and
more. The deepest sounding yet got
in the Pacific or any where else is 4475
fathoms-26,9 $50 feet, over five miles
near the Ladrone Islands, in north
latitude II degrees "a minutes, east
longitude l43 degrees 16 minutes.
From the gentle slope of the bed of the
Arctic Ocean to the north of Siberia,
the line showing only IA to Is fathoms
at $50 miles from the shore, and from
its configuration to the north of this
continent it is believed to be the shall
lowest of oceans. Little is positively
known of the depth of the Antartic
Ocean, though it is presumed to be
deeper than the other polar sea. The
bottom of the ocean, SO far as has been
observed, seems to correspond with
the surface of the earth as respects ele
vations and depressions the same
valleys, mountains, chasms and pla
teaus being found below as above thu
surface of the sea.

great extent. 1t is, however, per-
fectly useless to argue with them.

great extent. 1t is, however, per-
fectly useless to argue with them.
No amount of reason, or persuasion,
or entreaty will avail. You may take
them to look at the great statutes,
those masterpieces of exquisite beauty,
and point out to them the fact that the
ideal woman has not a very small
foot. In Maryland aud Virginia the
majority of women have feet rather
smaller than the ideal, and there Is not
the slightest reason for them to wear
tight shoes. But they will. Now, In
some parts Of the West, If we may
trust the criticisms Of rival newspapers,
the girls have large extremities. A
paper In Chicago asserted that when a
st. Louis girl gets married they have
to put up derrick to throw the slip
per after the bride. The terms ssbeetle-
crushers," ssguflns," and ''corn-plant-
ers'' are applied In the most reckless
manner by these illiteral Journalistic
critics.
To an artistic taste the feet and hands
of ladies are hardly ever too large If
they be well shaped. There is Ger.
tain dignity and grace that go with
we'll proportioned hands and feet that
little hands and feet eau never reach.
1t is by no means rare In this latitude
to find ladies will, paltry, useless look
Ing little hands that look almost like
go into raptures over their exceeding
smaiiness! A woman who is five feet
three inches high ought to wear at
least No. shoe. If 1t be smaller
than this it may be in tho fashion, but
1t will not please an eye that considers
the proportions and harmonics of the
whole figure.

THE SETTLEMENT.
IShrevepcrt Standard.l

tSAreNeptft SLAuuhIN.I
The dispatches contain the basis oi
the settlement o! the question of the
State debt by the Convention. Wheth.
ed to "stick," OF whether 1t was In
tended, as the Bee says of another
vote, only to Influence the stock market
in order to allow the members a chance
to speculate, we have no means of as
certaining. A motion to reconsider
may yet be offered and passed. We
cannot predicate anything certain of
this Convention. But if the question is
really settled, the settlement, as Judge
Wiley p. Harris once said of the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill, is sslike Fanny Ellis
lees dancing dress, little too long for
the boys in the pit, and great deal
too short for the ladies in the dress
circle" Neither party eau be said to
be perfectly satisfied with It. The bond
holders, after it had been demonstrated
that they had the Convention under
their thumb, would hardly be perfectly
satisfied with anything less than the
recognition of the principal and inter.
est as they now stand. The taxpayers,
are, of course, not satisfied at all. In
fact, the news of the passage of this Or
dinance has been received In this COM
munity with the utmost Indignation,
and will be so received In every Demo-
cratic District In the State. We have
not seen a man who views the question
in any other light. No such one can
be found unless among the Radical
politicians who are always delighted
with a Radical triumph over the DEM
ocratic party. Twenty-nine Radicals
have ruled the Convention, and have,
in spite of a large Democratic majority,
fastened this Radical load on the peo.
pie. OF course they could not have
accomplished anything unaided, but
they have found thirty-nine Demo-
Gratis to unite with them in the accom-
plishment of their purposes. The peo-
pie are anxious to know who these
men are. We will publish their names
We were opposed from the first to al
lowing the Radicals to have such rep.
resentation in the Convention as to en-
able them to give the trouble we knew
them to be capable of. But every one
said that thirty Radicals could do no
harm in a body so overwhelmingly
Democratic. And yet we see what
harm they have done. Warmoth has
had more complete control of this Con.
vention than he ever had Of one of his
own Legislatures in his most corrupt
days. Then he had only his own party
subservient to his rule; now he find:
Democrats, and among them some 0
the ablest delegates, obsequious to hi
commands.
| What the Convention will do mex
is beyond the possibility of conjecture
1t matters very little what it shall do
Having abandoned the rights of tn
! people on the most important question
before it, we are prepared for anythin,
| else that may be behind. Nothing
! from that quarter would startle u
now,

INFLUENCE OF THE EXTRA SESSION

The Cincinnati Enquirer very cor
rectly says that the extra session has
had q happy influence upon American
liberty and that this influence will not
be lost. 1t has arrested the tendency
acquired during the War-when Con-
statution and laws were to q great de-
gree silent-toward imperial govern
ment, and has recalled the American
people to the true theory OF our repul,-
principles that underlie popular llber-
ty. That Is no small gain; Indeed Il Ia
q great gain. It has aroused the peo-
pie to the consideration Of questions
that every once In a while need agita-
tlOn. 1t Is like taking observations ON
q ship after q storm, to find the true
position OF the vessel. The questions
that were the cause Of difference be-
tween the Democratic House and the
Republican Senate, and made the extra
session necessary, went to tho founda-
ton principles of the two parties. The
same principles divided the people In
to two great parties at the formation OF
the Republic, they have continued to
divide the people into two great par
ties, and will continue so to divide
In the control of tho 00vsrnmcnt un-
der which they may live. These quess-
tions will now be tho soAject of popu-
lar discussion as they have been of
Congressional, and the new generation
Of voters, that have coana on tho stage
of action since the war, ana the gener-
alton that soon will 'b0ls voters, will
have an opportunity to- acquire much
necessary knowledge OF tNS principles
of the Government and tho nature Of
American liberty, of which they might
otherwise not have bcen 30 we'll In
formed. The extra session will bo OF
great value for that; and that will bc
valuable for American liberty.
