London Women.
From the London world


Ladies who few years ago would have con-
sidered the idea appalling calmly array them
selves in the gOri6ed dressing robe known as a
"tea gown" and proceed to display themselves
to the eyes of their admirers. The reason, per-
haps, is not very far to seek. Certain adventu-
rous DANES who determined some years since on
the invasion OF mans last stronghold, the smok-
ing-room, arrayed themselves for conquest in be-
witching robes de chambre. Their less enter
prislng sisters, not quite desiring TO follow them
TO nocturnal extremities, were unwilling to be
detrauded of the opportunity of adding another
weapon to the arsenal of the toilet, hence the
origin Of the tea-gown OF course. it in no way
resembles the dressiug-gown of utility. 1t is Of
elaborate design and Infinite cost 1t is worn
for about an hour 10 the day, aud yet in
country-house visit Of week, the same must on
no account be exhibited more than twice, if, in
deed, SO much may be allowed. 1t is absolutely
useless and utterly ridiculous ; but this is not
the worst that may be said about it. II is, to all
ntents and purposes. deskdbiQe and so great
is the force of association that the conversation
is exceedingly apt, nay almost certain to become
deShubiRe as we'll. The gentlemen in houses
where teagowns prevail relieve themselves of
their shooting attire and reappear very frequently
10 gorgeous smoking. suits; there is an ease and
sans fdcon about the whole proceeding that
favors laxity OF discourse. and advantage is gen
orally taken of the latitude afforded. At their
first beginning tea-gowns only put in 40 appear
ance when the beverage from which they take
their name was dispensed in the hostess bou-
DOR, and only rare and favored specimen of
the opposite sex was admitted on sufferance But
such oldfashioned prudery has long been thrown
aside in the eager desire for more admirers of
such becoming rame1t; the tes-gowns have de-
scended to the drawIDg-room and the ball. and
have become more marvellous and more Uoydnt in
the transit. With the graceful neglige toilet
there has come in a habit of lounging. which is
certainly of most doubtful grace. Hands are not
unfrequentiy to be seen clasped above or bshind
the bead. thus often exhibiting the arm by the
falling back of the loose sleeve feet and ankles
are lavisbly displayed as dainty slippers are
rested on the fender; more ardent spirits reclne
in ostentatIous repose on various sofas. 1t is
considered the thing to suit the action to the at
tire aud exhibit in it the supremacy of ease. In
some very Bohemian establishments j: isavoted

partaken of in the easy masqueradirg attire. and
as most unnatural sequel. there is prompt

The ExoDous OF NEGROES FROM THE UNITED
STATEs-SiDce the abolition of slavery in the
United States there has sprung up in the mind
of the black population an lntense desire to re-
turn to the land of their origin. For some time
the sentiment seemed likely to fade away, with
out leading TO any material result but, recently,
it has gathered new force, and undergone great
development in consequence of its direction
having having been taken in hand by the most
intelligent and earnest Of the negroes. Z" Exodus

How the Oyster Builds his shell.
The body. Of an Oyster Is ! poor lining. appa

The body Of an oyster IL poor thing, sppa-
rently not capable of doing anything at ALL yet
what marvellous house an oyster builds around
his delicate frame. When the oyster, is first
born he is,a very simple delicate dot. as it we're,
and yet he is born with bis two shells upon him.
For some unknown reason be always 6xes him
self on bis round she'll never on his fat shell;
and, being once fixed, be begins 70 grow, but he
onlp grows in summer. Inspect an oyster closely.
and it will be seen that il is marked with dis
tnct lines. As the rings We observe 10 the sec
ton Of trunk of tree denote years Of growth,
SO does the msrking Of an oyster tell US bow
many years he has passed 10 his bed at the
bottom OF the sea- Suppose an oyster was born
June 10, 1870, be would go on growing up TO the
first ring we see well marked and would then stop
for the winter. In the summer of 1871 he would
more than double bis size 10 1872 he would add
to bis house. In 1873 and 1874 be would again
go on building. till be was dredged up in the
middle of his work in 1873. when be would be
five and half years old. The way in which an
oyster builds his shell is pretty sight, ] have
watched it frequently. The beard or fringe Of
an oyster is not ouly mis- breathing organ but his
feeding organ also, by which he conveys the food
to his complicated mouth with his four lips,
When the warm calm days Of June come, the
oyster opens his SHE'LL and, by means Of his
fringe, begins building an additional story to bis
house. This he does By deposting very fine
particles Of carbonate of lime. till they OF last
form a substance as thin as silver paper aud ex.
ceedingly fragile; then be adds more and more
till at last the new shell Is at least as hard as the
old shell. When oysters are growing 10 theil
shells they must be handled very carefully, as the
new growth of shell will cut like broken glass

ART.--Mr, Frederick Leighton, R. a., has at
tanned the summit of an English painters ambi-
lion by his election to the presidency Of the
Royal Academy. Mr. Leighton ia comparatively
young man, having been bora 10 1880, and his
almost youthful appearance must contrast oddly
with the well remembered venerable aspect OF
Landseer, Grant. Graham and others of his pre-
decessors. Most men of genius who excel in
special line exhibit their particular talent at a
phenomenal age. Mozart was an accomplished
musician at eight years old; Chatterton wrote
plays when he was eleven; aud RaphaePs Car
toons were wondered at when he was no higher
than his own maul-stick Mr.. Leighton furnishes
another instance Of this early development of
talent, and was studying in Rome. at eleven
years OF age. AT Berlin, Frankfort, and Flo
renee, his early studies were prosecuted and
the celebrated sculptor Hiram Powers was SO
struck with his drawings that the alher was in
duced to allow his son to adopt the profession OF
an artist. His first finished picture was painted
in Brussels, Cimabue finding Gintto painting
in the fields" But the first work that made
decided Chit" at the time, and has since become
well known, was his large picture Of "Clmabue."
representing the triumphant procession through
the streets of Florence of that artists - Madon.
ma This fac work was purchased by the Queen
after making profound impression on the Lon
don public during its exhibition at the Academy.
1t is the first rung OF the ladder that is so diff
cult to get the foot on. and since the "Cimabue"
in 1855, Mr.. Leighton's pictures have, been
eagerly sought after, and his career to his pre-
sent, eminence has been rapid.
