THE DErRsrABLE LONG SKIRT.

But there is one thing in particular that tho
young man who has been quoted does not like,
and that is the long skirt that sweeps the pave
ment and that many we'll dressed women are
wearing now. There ID only one thing that can
be said in its favor-it is graceful on o tall
woman. But what does any ono think Of its
gracefulness as it sweeps along dirty sidewalk
| in the city? Many women hold it up. Can
there be anything more awkward than the

holding 1t three inches from tho ground? Tho
truth Of the matter is that IL street dress which

Although Mr. Monroe was also member of
the commission appointed to arrange the mat
ter with the French government he did not
arrive in Paris until MIR. Livingston had nearly

steam, and that no might reap the reward Of
his labors he applied to the legislature Of New
York for the exclusive right to navigate its
waters by steam power for a space Of twenty
years. This right the state gave him, with this
proviso: That his boats attain o speed Of four
miles an hour. Ho constructed . craft which
ran three miles an hour, and in all probability
would have perfected 1t to the four-mile de-
gree, but he was persuaded to give ND his
mechanical work and accept the French mis-
