GENTLEMEN'S APPEARANCE NOWADAYS.


The Home Journal for this week contains
the following remarks by Mr.. Willis upon
dress, hats, &c:


There arc several artistic points in which
the dress of the many, has very much ma
proved. The collar Of the coat is now cut ~
a sculptor would have it-so as not 10 inter
rupt the naturally curved line from the ear
To the turn of the shoulder. BY the making
OF the armhole larger, too, the dislocatCd OF
jolnedon appearance Of the sleeve is rcmcdied.
while the greater fulness of the sleeve itself
liberalizes the general air of the garment.
Irowsers are improved by making the leg
smaller as it approaches the instcp, thus
tapering it handsomely into the line of the
wcll-made boot.


But the greatest advantage of all is the
present fashion of wearing waistcoat AMI
| trowSers Of the same material, thus giving to
the advancing figure continuity OF color
from head to foot, and adding to the height
as well rs to the harmony of the proportions.
The stripe down the outside seam Of the pan
falcons is also IN advantage TO the height.
In the wearing of the cravat, which is now u
mere tie around !ow-cut shirt collar, onr
of the finest points of masculine beauty
is restorcd-the shape of the throat and neck
below that commencing line OF the beard
which is SO universally handsome. The
increased attention to the shirt wristband
adds to the look of cleanliness and elegance.


Hats are in quite q state Of anarchy,
Nobody knows what the fashion is. Som
breros Of all descriptions prevail. But while
the general appearance OF the crowd is thus
made vastly more picturesque, the individual
physiognomy suffers proportionately. Grave
men scarcely look sane in the "rowdy hats
now So common--mcrcantile men look un.
trustworthy religious men look abandon
poets ncglectcd-p politicians reckless. Bra
dy, the great photographer, should be buSily
at work, collecting for posterity the incrcdi-
bic auto-caricatures Of men Of standing and
morals, as seen in their present day hatwcar-
ings. Ofsuspended conscious responsibility
in the outer man, it is most curious pSy-
Geological era!


MAY we hope to be excused five add to
this generalizing record OF fashion, 4 com
paratiye remark which may possibly be CON
sidered somewhat in favor of our own sex?


1.-The democratic principle seems to bo
equally at work in the dresses for ladies all
classes going it equally strong with most
iuconvenient crinoiinc, and all bonnets equal
ly desperate in covering only the more sensa
Gus phrenology. But, while with vulgar
men the experiment is nearly successful,
with the corresponding class of women it ia
wholly unsuccessful. 1t requires more than
one look to tell whether your wcll-dressed
male fellow-passenger Oh the deck Of u steam
boat is gentleman or snob; but at the
very first glance you know whether you see
lady or u chambermaid d-albet the lady
and the chambermaid wear precisely the
same fashions. Probably it requires nicer
skill to appear lady than to appear a gen
tleman. But we leave the subject, at tina
difficult and dangerous point, for our reader
to argue"

About three years ago a gentleman,
with family consisting of a wife and two
children, emigrated from Philadelphia TO
Nebraska, and settled in the town of Oma
ha. Here he opened hotel, and employ
ed a young man to assist him, who was
also married. The wife of the latter soon
died. A short time ago the proprietor
went to Philadelphia on busiDess-was
gone few weeks-and on his journey
homeward ascertained that his assistant,
whom he had left in charge Of his bust
ness and his family, had eloped with his
wife and children. Fastening TO st. Louis,
he soon learned, by the aid of the police,
that the fugitives had been in that city,
but had taken an obscure boat for Quin-
cy. Thither he pursued them, and as
certained that they had proceeded north

fast as possible, and overlook them at
Macomb. He discovered them in the
act of taking passage for Bloomington
He jumped upon the same train, and fol-
lowed them TO the hotel where they in
tended to stop. He would have taken
summary vengeance upon the wretch who
had robbed him of his earthly bliss, but
the sight of his wife and children unncrv-
ed him. Resolved to have nothing more
TO do with his wife, he simply demanded
that his children should be given up
The scene which ensued is said to have
been indescribably touching and painful
The wife, having by this time ropentcd
of her folly, frantically begged not to be
separated from her children, but to be
taken back with them. The husband
firmly refused to receive her, took his
children, and left her to follow the for

IMPORTANT HINT IN WASHING CLOTHES.
The .1merican Agricultvdlist asserts
that the great secret of the success of nine
out Of ten of the washing fluids, mixtures,
and machines which have been sold over
the country for many years past, is not
owing so much to the Inherent qualities
Of the articles themselves rs to the pro-
cess of soaking, which they invariably
recommend. If people pursuing the old
fashioned system of washing will simply
take the precaution to throw all the cloth
ing to be washed into water ten or fifteen
hours before beginning operations, they
will find half tho labor of rubbing saved
in most cases. Water is of itself great
solvent, even of the oily materials that
collect upon clothing worn in contact with
the body, but time is required to effect
the solution. Every one is aware of the
effect of keeping the hands or feet moist
for few hours-the entire external coat
ing of secretion is dissolved. The same
effect is produced by soaking for a few
hours clothes soilcd by the excretory mat

attempted to destroy himself, day or two ago,
by cutting his throat with a knife. He had
lived with her for a long time, and happily,
too; but a little while ago, while he was absent
in New Orleans, she received the attention of
another one of Afrio's sons, and when he re-
turned he found his place at her side and in
her heart occupied. He forthwith tried
to drown his grief in the villainous stuff they
sell in that neighborhood for whisky, and he
became delirious; but even that could not make
him forget her, and at an interview he con-
cluded any other world was better far than this;
but not the Fates nor he could cut the cord
which bound him unto life and still he lives to
weep for her he must have loved and certainly
