Our usual weekly RESUME of the par;.
fashions will be found in another part of
the paper. This, of course, will be particu-
larly interesting to our lady readers, az
we intend it to be. They will be able Ia
compare home fashions with those of Paris.
though it is evident our New York bellies ara
yet very much the slaves of Partisan milliners
and leaders of tom. The most striking novelty
of the season, as will be seen, is the pannier-
that is, steel basket-which is worn over each
hip, and which, as described by our graphic
Paris correspondent, is 'exactly like the
wicker receptacles in which buffers carefully
carry old Port or Chambertin up to table.
Between these there bulges out a hump far
behind, and this is only the under-foundation
for puffy silk contrivances above With such
compact affair as this on the trunk trade
will fall, as every possible convenience for
travelling can be safely deposited within the
hip baskets" The most prodigious one Of
these panniers that had made its appearance
in Paris was called Imperatrfce. The
wearers of these panniers in the public
streets get well stared at of course,
and we are told often take to .fdcres
suddenly to escape the scrutinizing and
comical gaze. Imagine one of our young and
full blown New York bellies walking along with
the approved Grecian bend, the fashionable
high-heeled CATERS and pannier Imperatrice
projecting behind Would it not be remark
able figure - very striking and peculiar
make up? We fear it would be very trying to
nerves of fathers, brothers and husbands, at
least for time, till custom gave assurance Of
safety. There would be constant apprehen-
sion that the dainty feet might be tripped up
and that the delicate creatures might loose
their balance. High-heeled CATERS, the Gre
clan bend and huge pannier behind, taken
altogether, would certainly look perilous, if not
really 80. We would not be surprised to see
the immense high bonnets worn some years
ago revived with this fashionable make up, and
should that be the case it would certainly be
most difficult to preserve the equilibrium.
However, this is wonderful age, and we need
not be astonished at the most startling novel;
ties in fashion.

the subordinates of his department have to

union should not be attempted on much larger
scale than has yet been deemed practicable.
Unfortunately, however, bigotry, selhshness
and the worst kind of intolerance still find a
place in the so-called courts of the Church OF
Christ So long as we find church courts SOL
emnly suspending brother from church privi-
leges for no other offence than singing the
praises of God in other language than the
versiied Psalms Of David, by such courts ap-
proved, so long must general union, on a
broad and hopeful basis, be deemed impracti-
cable. Union is nevertheless an object to be
aimed at; for disunion is still the vice of
Professionalism and the source of Protestant
weakness.


Altogether the condition of the American
churches is hopeful and encouraging. Con-
sidering the number of the churches, the
talent, the learning, the wealth and the activity
which they represent, and bearing in mind
that in this country there is nothing to fear
from the frown or to hope from the favor of
rulers, we have as people every cause to be
proud of the Christian religion as it is seen in
the midst of us, and every reason to look for
ward with hope and confidence to the influence
which it is yet destined to exert on all the
nations Of the earth.

We were glad to see that Mr. Huntington.

Design, and several other eminent artists.


encouraged by their presence on Thursday
evening the praiseworthy efforts which the
directors and professors of the School Of
Design at the Cooper Institute have made to
popularize art. How successful these efforts
have proved was happily manifested at the
annual reception of which we yesterday gave
full account. Several of the paintings and
drawings and particularly the pieces Of
sculpture exhibited by both the male and the
female pupils of the school, attested the
same promising talent in these lines Of
art of which, in music, the recent triumphs
of American cantatr1ces in Europe have
given such gratifying proof. We believe
that by Madame Caves method, or by any
method of similar practicability, it would be
as easy to make drawing an almost universal
accomplishment as writing has become. Tho
effect Of systematic instruction in drawing in
all our public schools would be the develop
ment of the latent artistic talent which un-
doubtedly exists in this country, the opening
of new, delightful and profitable fields of in
dustry in the widening sphere of womans
labor and the general elevation of the standard
Of taste among our people. The popular
interest in art which has already been awakened
was most satisfactorily evinced by the three
thousand visitors of all classes in our metro
politan society who thronged the galleries Of
the Cooper Institute on Thursday evening.

A PLACE FOR BBE-KEEPTNG.
Why do not more people keep
bees? 1t is surprising that so
lucrative a branch Of huSbandry
should be thus neglected, as it is
by many of our farmers. Itshould
be the design of a farmer to push
everything forward in his line
that will pay, and surely few
things, will the same outlay, will
pay better than bees. A few
swarms-enough to supply a large
family with honey through the
year-are cheaply kept, and the
profit is very great. Ten good
colonies should make, in any com
mon season, four hundred pounds
of box honey, which at present
prices would bring in the market
not less than S1OO; saying no
thing about the young swans
that would be sent out each year,
which would alone give a man
from one hundred to three hun
dred per cent. interest on his
money expended on the original
stock. Sugar and molassess
would of course be preferred to
honey for many culinary purposes
but if family has more honey
than they can consume, it can
easily be exchanged for these,
and the amount thus saved will
in most cases be found no small
of economy Henderson Times.
