The latest from the far Fest is connected with the laiter circamstance. Irenty years ago the rm of Parker & Colter was well knowa in Sao Francisco. Colter lnfi s {ncad named Jestup were vieiung in Wasbing- yn Termuory. Colter intrusted Jessup with s 288 containing 4,600 to be delivered to his or in San Francisco. Jessup pocketed the oney, and went to Sonth Amenca forthwith. Patker nover belioved Colter's story, aud the Jater became & marked snd disgraced man. Jewup, oo tho other hand, made a Jortoe, and retwed to his Now England home without making & single inquiry for the o bo hsd wronged. When on Lis death-bed, Prascious that his possessions could bo of no farthes use to him, be thought it bigh time to rofarm the money ho bad stolen, and in his will Jeft the sam Of §200,000 to Colter. Advertise- ents in tho San Fraucisco papers elicit the fact fis: Colter is dead. too. Tho slallow pretense at justice wrang from the cowardly thief upon bis death-bed bas como too late. 1f the original theft nas the act of & scoundrel, the restoration as that of B miserable poltroon.

Apple- 4zn, who have concluded 0 relinguish their sta- tonery departmert, will offer an immense in- valce of paper, ink, etc., amonuting to $100,000. Busers from all parts of the country have elgni- fied their wiention of being present. Theexhibition games of baso ball between the two American clubs now i Euglaad have not crested much interest or excitement in that country, but the defesat of the English club at cricket by the Americana producad a very marked impression. It will be 8 very happy result if this vicory of the Americans popularizes the game of ericket in this country. It is in every reapect 8 gentlemsa’s game, requires 2a much sgility sod strength and more brains than base ball, and dosg not involve aay of those serivus accideats which sre constantly occuniing in the Americsp pational game. The establishment of cricket in this country would call a more respect- sbis class of players into the field, and, after the game was fairly understood, it would become more popular. The recent disgraceful occur- 1eaces in thus city furmish an addisional reason for a change. — Alswyer of Columbus, Ga., Maj. R. J.

No Joss than six law firms heve been retained on either side, among them neh Joog-winded gentlemen a8 B. H. Hill and Eobert Toombe. Preparations have been made for & protracted and obstinate fight, and tie young lawyers of the city are already wagering Yt they will yet bocome leading lawyers in tho nse before it can be determuned whether a law- * jircan be slandered. —_— .

A writer in Appletons’ Journal discourses thus about small waists and corset-lacing: There 18 no doubt but that 8 **small waist " 18 admired of all men aad all women. No matier how the physiologists or the physicisus may talk, women alwa.s bave compressed their waists and ex- 8noed their akitcs, aud they slways will, uutil puslic opuion protounces for tos heavy fizure. t bas never influenced a fasnionable woman yet to bear that the Venus de Meaici has a large waist—she hus been told so ever since that faultess image of fomale beauty waa disinterred. She merely shrugs ber shoulders and draws her lacos tightor. * Bhe knows very weil that, if she went to a ball with that figure of the Venus, no man would ask her to dauce. Bo important a matter s it to have s small waist, tnst it has become a matter of pride to the Austrisa peopis, and is often mentionod in the Court jouruals that the Empress of Aus- tria is colebrated for posessing a waust which only measurcs 16 wcnes.

The savages of the 1slands in the Paclfic and Indian Oceans use very poteut mesus to attain slenderness of figurs ior the youny women, and researches amouy the 1uins of Pulenyue (one of those mysterious forest citivs of Ceutral Amori- ca) prove that those almoat forgotien people suow of the most artificial and well-fitting and compreosivle corset which bay evar boen invent- od.

In the book of Isaiah we reaa of the Divine displeasure manifested against the people of Je- rusulom sod Judab, and of the depriviug of the women of personal sdorament, aud thera is this stnking allusion to the corsot in the splendid poetical language of tho time: **Instend of & girdle, there aould be a reut; and instead of a well-set Lair, balduess ; and nstead of a stom- acher, s girding of sacacloth; and buruing iu- stead of besuty.” ‘The Jowixh Isdies of mnk wore profuse oroa- mentation, and slways a tightly-laced bodice, winch 1s carefully and besuufuliy alludea to by Scott in his descriptions of Revecca, that most exquisite of ideal Jewesses. Now, io looking at the loose, classical drapery of the ltoman women, 000 would say that tho corset bad disappeared for & while from oue well-dressed period of the world. But niatory tells us differently. In fuct, any lady of mod- ern times who Lae draped herself for private theatricals, or for tablodus, ia the Homan robes, kuows well that it must bo a very carefully- constracied dress. It caunot be lightly assumed. Tt s very ugly unless the shape bo perfect un- derueath its apparently beghgens folds. We learn from poeis svd dramstisu, as well as from historisus, that the Roman women wore a girdle, which they callea the strophium, and whica was probably tiie uame 28 the mura or girdle of the Greeks. 1'be famous cestus of Venas iu aftirmod by a poetical London tradesman to hava been merely a well-fitting corset.

Who does not remomber royal Bess, stiff as & poker, in ber ruff and fardingale 7" The picture whicli ahies carefally caused to be painted of herself, each and overy oue mude ber look uglier than the last. What a tribute it is to the feminie tact and tasto of Mary Queen of Scots that she educated at the Court of Catherine de Medici ans living near that of Elizabeth, so modified and ameliorated the excesses of the times that she presents, st thiy moment, the most beantifal fi:udy' of female covtume that the wor!d has ever seen ! An English physician, writing in 1810, saya that it was po uncommon sight to see ** s mother 1av her daughter down oo the carpet, and, placing her foot ou her back, break balf & dozen laces in tightening ber stuys ! IThe corsot waa made more stiff than ever, ‘back-boards and rteel bars were used to correct stooping shoulders, and & waist mus: onlv be & “gpan.” A young lady in tightiy-laced steel corsets, with a boatd at the back, and her feet in stocks, aa the learned Mary Bomerville describes herself at 16, must bave presented a pitiable tiguve to the eye of the sympathetic gazer. Undoubtedly thers will alwaya be foolish ‘mothers who make their daughtors sleep in their corsots, and many foolish women who will alwaye draw their laces too tight ; but the golden mean remains,—a figuro weil but not too mtifily sup- rorted, & waist slender, round, but not too small for the adjaceut tigure, is the graud desideratum of female beauty. Nothing is 50 unbecoming as a too tight gar- ment. A shoe which is too small spoils & pretty foot; s glove which aqueezes the hand ruins the effect; aud a waist injudiciously compiessed rujps ‘the figure and the face. The blood is forced into the hands and aums; the figure is pressed out of proportion ; and the wbole effoct is singularly unpiessant. A large woman in Frauce, wlcre womeu have a taste for the be- coming in dress conferred upon thsm by Provi- dence, wesrs mmple araperies, loosely fiiting garments, and 2. corset which does ber the best poasible gervice, for it makes her look and feel at hor case—no lapored bresthing, no unnatursl reduesx, no fear of suffocation ; she 18 simply & large, besutitul object, 1stead of a pillow tied in the middle, with & geueral air of asyhyXia.
