a day in slsirmishing, got down to the
real business i'll the case, and consumed
the entire day in arguments, some of
which were very vigorous, and made
things interesting for the spectators. At
the request of the court, Colonel Petit
made a synopsis of the allegations upon
which he thought it would be necessary
to take proof. Considerable time was
consumed in going over the synopsis and
explaining it to the satisfaction of the
court. So much progress has been made,
however, that it is probable that argu-
ment will be finished in another day.

The Princess of Wales must have

was knitting a stocking and the prin-

Grassy ON the subject Of Dre...
MOST PERFECT MADE.

A paper published in London gives
a strange account of the Duchess of
Somerset, whose personal property. 1t
says, was sold ut auction q few days
ago. 1t seems the poor lady had a
mania for clothes. She had at the time
Of her death not only 1000 pairs Of
gloves, but GOO pairs of silk stockings,
500 lace handkerchiefs, and all sorts
Of dresses. many Of them Of the fashion
of forty years ago. She had been con-
fined to her own house for nearly uir-
ty years, yet she regularly ordered
her elegant court dresses with each
change Of season, precisely az she
would have done had she been in
society, as she used to he. Moreover,
she used often to dress herself in her
elegant tinery and parade up and down
her room MS though sba were at a
reception. The writer of this article
does not appear to consider her insane,
only eccentric. If the story be true
one cannot help wondering whether the

health. gave herself SO utterly to the
love of dress and display that she could
not fill her thoughts with any other
slibject.-The Pansy.
