The heavy blow of wind last night had
the effect of driving number Of dredge
boats into our harbor Some were partly
loaded with oysters, which they disposed
of at fair prices TO our packers. The
crews of these boats, in every instance
where they could, have escaped and come
ashore, and this morning our streets were
alive with the most motley specimens of
men ever beheld-some Germans, Ital-
iaus, Irish, Boht mians, Americans-and
several other Dationalities. Their dress
was as varied as their nationalities. and

of the dredgers 10 capture the oyster boat
and sink her with the crew. but the po-
lice boats always kept to the wind

succeed in their purpose. The shooting
on the dredge boats was generally done
by the Captain and mate, who would
send the crew down in the forepeak and
fasten them DOWN; the helm of the vessel

Women and Corsets.

The assertion has an odd sound but ii is
probably true, that not ten women out
of hundred have the faintest concep.
ton of what it would feel like to have a
natural. unfettered body. One New
York physician estimated that city girls
are corseted ON an average att years old
Another says that her iDquilies would
lead her to put it at years. Women
grow up in corsets and harmonic with
their environments. They put on cor
sets in the morning before they do their
shoes, and do not think they could comb
their hair without stays. They live in
corsets, and would be thoroughly uncom-
Portable without them. They haven't
developed muscles TO get along without
support. AS yet the corset might be
made at least unobtrusive. 1t used to be
proper thing 10 wear an under bodice of
shape and thinness to hide or disguise
the outline of the continuance of whale
bones and steels. Nowadays nothing of
the sort seems to be necessary. The cor
set is prominet as IL paraded outside the
gown. The fashion plate marks its top
and bottom distinctly, and as for the VIC
man herself, you can sketch her corset
very accurately over the margin OF your
newspaper.
