GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Grororrown, June 5, 1856. The spirit of anexation (to Washington) is gradually working like a leaven upon the public mind in our city, Although thore has been no public demonstration upon the sub- ject to serve us asa guide in arriving at a correct conclusion as to what would be the result if the question was tested at the ballot box, we havecarried our inquiries fer enough to cause us to incline to the opinion that if it was there would be found a majority voting in favor of the project. The scheme has many warm friends and zealous advocates among our most shrewd and far-seeing b’ nessmen. Their opinion is that the consoli- dation of both cities into one, would tend in no small degree to enhance the interests of both. As they now exist, under separate mu @icipal governments, there is nothing like a oneness of sentiment and interest. This state of things, doubtless, often gives rise to dis- cord, and sometimes something factious op- position upon both sides, whenever the one or the other makes an effort to secure aid of a kind from the General Government. Whereas, if we were munited as one people having a common interest, no cause could easily occur to give rise to contentions. We could then go before Congress with an unbro- ken front, and demand at their hands that aid and fostering care which our disfranchised position justly demands. We are certain that all parties would lose nothing, but gain by the consummation of the measure We should then have the benefit of the auxiliary guard at night, which is supported by the General Government; the expense of lighting our main (Bridge) street with gas, met in the same way ; the benefit of a wholesome police sys- tem, and also a system of public schools adapted to the age. Washington would re- ceived, in return, the benefit of our fine har- bor (having the Long Bridge,) growing com- merce, and many mills, &c e hope, ere long. to see the matter brought before the people of tho two cities in a tangible form by some of its leading influential friends A visit to old Georgetown College, during the last months of Spring, or in early sum- mer, isa perfect treat to the admirer of the works of art, and rural grandeur The lofty eminence upon which it stands is a portion of nature’s rarest and most romantic handiwork, rendered truly sublime by the works of art which surrounds it. Here the admirer of both (nature and art) may find much to feast the si le and gratify the mind. He may sur- | vey the sublime and wonderful panorama of nature spread out before him, the towering precipice, the steep declivity, the deep defile, the vine clad hills, the lovely valley, the ver- dant fields, the woodland dell, the sbady grove, the rippling stream, and the placid river, until the eye becomes dim with gazing, aud the mind weary with contemplation. From these he may turn to the handiworks of art, the productions of mighty minds, and | inventive genius. Among these every taste and fancy may be gratified. The antiquary may puzzle his mind over the wonders of an- tiquity, the scholar may dive down among the mighty piles of thought both of the living and the dead, which lies before him. The artist may contemplate and admire the works of bis craft, from the rude landscape hastily dashed upon the canvas by the hand of the unskillful novice, to the most delicate pencil | touches of the polished painter, and the ar- chitect and mechanic may gaze, wonder, and admire, while he surveys the gigantic piles or stately edifices which loom up around him on every side, and the lover of wisdom, good humor, and social chit chat, never tires waile commingling among the inmates. The number of students at this institution this season is unusually large. Almost every civilized na- tion is represented, and a finer looking set of youths and young men we have neversecn to- gether at any institution. The fine steamer Alice C. Price, Capt. Ba- ker, left this morning with quite a large and brilliant party on board en route to Fort | Washington on an excursion of pleasure. The | boat was chartered by the West Georgetown | M_E.

Sprcrator. {| a Axovut CurLpReN.—The clothing of chil- dren ought to be loose and light; and their ease and comfort should be studied with re- gard tothe form and make of their several articles ot dress. Nv close-fitting bodies and belts should impede the free action of the muccles of the chest and spine; no tight bands fetter the limbs; there should be no pressure anywhere; the feet should not be restricted in their growth by narrow boots. The foot would, in after life, be far more beautiful, if, from childhood, the boots and shoes were large enough to admit of the toes preserving their natural position, however smail and pretty a foot may appear in its elegant boot or satin slipper, itis very rare to find one that can bear aclose examination, the constant con- finement to which it has been subjected gen- erally ending in distortion of the joints and toes. Children who are inclined to extreme thinness may be benefitted by the following practices : Let the child stand perfectly firm and up- right, with the shoulders thrown back; let the nurse or mother press one hand on the chest, the other on the back, and then let the child draw a very deep respiration, so that the lungs are well inflated, and then as gradual- ly expel the air This should be repeated three or four times; the plan pursued steadily night and morning during the space of one month, we have seen effect a surprising im- provement in a child’s appearance. The fea- tures of the face should be carefully treated— the teeth washed twice in a day, and the mouth rinsed after eating. Attention to this would save much unnecessary pain; the eye- lashes should be occasionally clipped, and the hair brushed back from the forehead. Many children’s hair curl with water, which renders the hair coarse and rough, unless rain water is used ; and when it cannot be obtained, rose- water or elder-flower should be substituted. Any dryness of the lips should be immediate- ly removed by a salve composed of olive-oil, melted white wax, and beaten up with rose- water. By neglecting excoriations on the lips of children, an ugly sear is made on the centre of the under lip, which can never af- terwards be effaced ‘he tips of the fingers and the nails should meet with as much care in the nursery as in the tiring-room of matur- ity. The exquisite beauty of a young child’s hand is generally spoilt by neglect ; nor is it until after personal vanity has awakened, and @ couree of careful training has ued, that the hand of the adult @ portion of its former beauty. Regularity in the habits of children is very important to their bloomy and healthy appearance; their meals, their ablutions, their exercise, should take p ace at fixed times; their occupations, too, should be of agracetul kind, tending to improve the figure and give a good address. i An expression of opinion was given at the recent Convention of Posen Epis- copal Church, of New Jersey, so decided against the fashion introduced ty Rev. Mr- Stewart, of Grace Church, in Newark, of 1 - toning, as it is called, that the BisKop re gtetted the ‘+ mistake’? that the Rector in question had fallen into, and the objection- able practice is not-to, be repeated. Tho laity took the lead in this matter, and were carnest in their opposition to the “‘ insoning.”’ | THE WEEELY STAR.

To the matter of enormous bonnets the com- mittee do not specially refer. They perbape rejoiced that the wholesome rule of their dis- cipline had worked a reform in the article, and reduced the size of ladies’ bonnets to as reasonable dimensions as the most rigid dis- ciplinarian would desire. on the rules concerning Iuportep Frencu Pears.—Several varie- ties of superb pears were imported by one of the Havre packete to the order of Peter Arch- deacon, fruiterer, as a venture, and the ex- periment proved a very successful one. They filled twenty cases, and came in excellent or- der, packed in paper cuttings. The varieties are known asthe Easter Beware, Winter Bon Chretien, Catalick, and Belle Augeune, some of which are grown in the United States, but not to the perfection attained by the French Cuitivators. The largest weigh about one pound, and sell readily at one dollar each ; smaller ones retail for seventy-five cents, and those of ordinary size for fifty cents' The flavor and juice are well preserved. Each of the cases contains from 125 to 150 pears, and they cost in France about $10 percase. The fruit has all grown in the open air Large profits may be realized by American fruit- growers, where they devote themselves to their calling with diligence and determina- tion. There are several who have made rapid advances within a few years, and the period ical exhibitions by the numerous horticultural societies in nearly all the States, afford promise of great results.

A Cnaracter.—* Old Bumblebeo”’ (sa: an exchane paper) was the cognomen of Mr t. | of Newburyport He gained thejtitle from the fact of his catching a bumblebee one day as he was shingling his barn, and in attemptii to distroy the insect with his hatchet, cut of the ends of his thumb and forefinger, letting the insect go unharmed. Other mishaps hap- =u to the same old coger in the same barn n one of his abstraction he shingled over his spare hatchet; and cutting’a emall aper- ture in the building to let a hittle daylight in, this man actually set in a wooden pane as be- ing economical and not likely to be broken! Uncle T., in one of his oblivious freaks, nailed his left arm so firmly betwixt two boards of a | fence he was putting up, that he had to call , help to get extricated from his self-imprison- ment. He onoe put a button on the gate in stead of the post. But the rarest freak of all was when be ran through the streets with his hands about threefeet asunder held before him, beg- ing the passers by not to disturb tin, as he ad got the measure of a doorway with him. Tae Bearp Movewenxt —The wearing of the whole beard has become so common, es- pecially in the winter season, that it is sup posed the number of those who shave has be- come the minority; but among some classes the practice has not been generally intro- duced. Clergymen are beginning to adopt it. because of the benefit to health, and an ad- ditional safeguard against attacks of bronchi- tis. Rev. C. L. Brace. of the Children’s Aid Society, the Rey. A. A. Livermore, of Cincin- nati, and Rey. Samuel Johnson, of Lynn, Mass ,—the two latter distinguished Unita- rian clergymen—have worn full bears, inclu- ding moustaches, for one or two years past. There are some disadvantages, but far greater advantages in allowing the beard to grow, so those say who have adopted the practice On the other hand, there are some friends of the late order of things who set their faces rigidly nt the change. The venerable Josiah Quincy, of Boston, regards the practice of wesriog beards as a nasty practice, and a ret- rograde movement on civilization. Wassineron City —It is very fashionable (says the New York Express) to abuse W: ington city, because occasionally scenes of di: order and ruffianism are seen there. From a long residence at the national capital we can say that such scenes form no part of Wash- ington society. They are neither natural nor congenial to the people who live there, for proof of which we have only to look to the actors in such scenes. They belong generally to other sections of the country, as the deplo- rable occurrences of the past six months will testify. We concur in the following, from a political opponent, on this subject Dr. Bai- ley, editor of the New Era, the Abolition pa- per published at Washington, says: “The truth is, Washington is very much like other cities, and human nature here is just what itis elsewhere. If one man insults another, he is very likely to © a quarrel on his hands, no matter where he lives, but it is just as easy for a man te speak good whole- some truth here as it is in New York.” ACANADIAN AMBASSADOR IN WASEINGTON.— The Toronto Board of Trade suggests that the Canadas should have an Ambassador con stantly in attendance at Washington. In ar- guing the point, the report says it ‘‘canaot be denied that great necessity exists for some ac- tive, intelligent and influential representative of the commercial interests of Canada near the controlling power of the United States—and that, under the rapid growth and daily in creasing importance of our commercial rela- tions with the country, this renga A is every day becoming more keenly felt. € see and point out the want, leaving tothe govern- ments of this country and Great Britain the task of supplying the remedy. Should neither government deem fit to take action such as the commercial men of Canada deem neces- sary, it will then be a matter of consideration for the different boards of trade throughout the province whether a simply commercial delegate should be appointed.’” Mock Srrawzerrizs.—A Chicago house- keeper makes “strawberries” as follows: Cut up ripe peaches, and soft, mild eating apples, in the proportion of three to one, into Pieces the size of strawberries, and mix them with @ proper proportion of sugar, and after they have together and few hours a min- gled their flavors, even an amateur, she says, if he will not look at the hash, might mis- take it for strawberries. “What!” exclaimed the accomplish- ed Fitzwiggle tothe exquisitely lovely Miss De La Sparrowgrass; what would you be dearest if I should press the stamp of love upon those ing wax lips?” *I,’’ re- sponded the fairy like creature, “should be —stationery !”” Ka On Saturday, the last day of Muay, overcoats and furs were frequently seen in Broadway.
