Special to the CARBON ADvocATk:
As an evidence of the progress that
marks this wonderful city, we have n
new London sensation iu the matter OF
ladies costumes. An English firm has
quarter, where lady can step in aud
furnish heraelf with ey>ry article In the
way of dress-from the crown of her
head to the sole Of her foot, that any lady
eau reasonably require, at an hours no.
tice or no notice at all. Attached to the
establishment are fifteen living models
frst class every one OF them, and en-
bracing every weight from ninety pounds
10 two hundred ann fifty, and every
height from three feet ten to six feet two:
they are handsome as pictures. ana
blooming as peaches, and always ready
for exhibition, and just imported fresh
from London. When lady comes ip
and selects dress, her measure is taken,
and the appropriate model is called up.
she puts the dress on aud then walks
about, sits down, goes up stairs, and The
lady sees just exactly how she will look
herself under similar circumstances
Wire frames are al discount, and the
new models are all the rage. Iu the
same establishment ladies' riding dresses
are made; at one end of the room is
large hobby horse, The model dons the
dress and hat, aud whip in band mounts
the fiery charger. 1. has all tho motion
OF galloping horse, and the Lady then
will make no mistake in her costume !;
when she takes ride in the Park. size
can tell how she will strike the dudes.
1t now remains Tor some first class tailor
like Brooks to put in ten first class dudes,
and do for us poor fellows what this en- =.
terprisiug firm has done for our ''sisters
aud our cousins and our auuts."
The EpiscopRlians of New York are
preparing for grand revival. which will
mark new era iu the Episcopal Church
in America. The Metbedists haye been
famous for years past for their revivals.
The PIesbyterians and Coz gregaiiounl-
lists though by no means spasmodic, have
frequently had long seasons oil religious
grace, The BaptiSts have almost tqualled
thelr Methodist br,theru in religious eS-
cittment, and the Catholic Church has
had its missions at various seasons di-
rected by priests, especially devoted 10
the work, where, if no pew converts were
made, at least. thousands Of those who
we're loose in their faith and negligent of
their duties. were confirmed and made
stronger 70 that while not called a re
viVal, ii was really II revival in the better
sense of the word. But the Episcopal
Church has never sanctioned or approved
"f these extra religious services. and the
aVakiug that has come upon her set ms
like new revelation. 1t is a little sing
nlar that the two most Iomiuent clergy
men in the movement are both English
men jnst in tie prime Of life, the Rev.
W. S. Rainsford, formerly the stroke oar
Of the Cambridge crew; and the Rev.
Parker NJ, ruan, one of the most famous
athletes of Oxford. In their college days

OF strength, and with the gloves they
