EVENING STAR. Education of American School Girls—A Horrible Discovery. We have been suspicious for a while that we had failed to discover the a a of the miserable bodily condition of so many young women in what is called fashionable society. We had observed that a very large Proportion of them, notwithstanding their wretchedly chosen diet, and other drawbacks, retained a very comely appearance of health and rotundity when at fe, 0 which they lost as soon as they were allowed to commence the midnight dissipations of the ball room. This with our knowledge of the legitimate result was sufficient, and we considered the matter settled. Lately, however, we have had the opportu- nity of conversing with an intelligent young lady who has had the usual opportunities of a fashionable education, and she assures us that there is an almost universal horror of being fat, that causes great numbers of them to drink vinegar and eat chalk and slate penci! dust to avoid gaining fiesi! tolis us that nearly all who desire to be “elegant” in their figure adopt these horrid practices as the readiest means of averting the conse quences they dread. This we calla horrible discovery indeed ; that it was practiced, we were aware, among many unfortunate young peopleewho had not the advantages of careful domestic instruc- tion; bat when informed of its general preva lence, it strikes us with peculiar horror. That in the very bioom and outburst of ber wo- manhood, at that period when the Creator designed to impress her with the crowning giory of her true nature and His power, when He has made the countenance speak love and maternity. she should defy Him and eut of the life current—this is bogrible indeed ; and the consciousness that the frightful practice obtains general currency, is a sad thought for the parent and the life-teacher. Very few persons imagine the extent to which this suicidal perversion of the natural instincts will go, in young women who are under the influence of their imaginary supe- riors in what they consider graceful thinness ; much has been said about tight-lacing, and because the corset hus partially gone into dis use, people imagine that the compression of the lungs bas ceased; it is far otherwice ; hooks and eyes and whalebone have taken their place and the insane devotee willingly starves herself by the year! One designing woman, evious of the beauty of an associate to whom nature has given a figure of beautiful rotundity and health, will set two-thirds of her acquaintsnces half crazy to emulate her bony proportions. A heart less and vicious school girl hes only to blow up her cheeks and say “fatty,” to the weak minded girl to whcm nature and a bappy home have given perhaps great personal beauty, and who enjoys the degree of vezeta- tive life which can alone give her a constitu- tion that will fit her for the duties of a wife and mother—and she has been stung by a viper that renders her miserable for life. Soon the roses fade from her cheeks, the beautiful rotundity of her person decreases and fades; the parent’s heart bleeds, and he consults his physician. He, either ignorant, indifferent, or eclfish, gives come absurd pre- scription, and leaves her to her fate. Chlorosis (the result of imperfect nutrition,) seizes her; she loses her spirits and refuses to mingle in society, which, bad and enervating as it is is now her only hope, and her only chance for life is marriege and maternity—about an even one between life and death. Compare all this, which is so common in America, with the results of the discipliz’s and education of young girls in England. ‘hore we find the daughters of their ariste crac: often leading natural and healthful lives, wearing suitable clothing, and shoes with soles thick enough to keep the electric force of youth in the body, taking free exercise on foot in all weather, miles and miles every day, ces | with health and happiness, and laugking and playing at blind man’s buff with their fathers and mothers. Here, conceited, ignorant of all useful knowledge, coid, calculating and impudent, the young girl is tanght to look out for a rich husband from the moment she enters ‘* socie- ty’’—a horde of over dressed and ignorant people who eschew all intellectual pursuits and live on vulgar emulation of their superiors in extravagant expenditure and ridiculous pretension.

In the performance of this operation, desired figures are first traced upon the mar ble with chalk; they are then covered with varnish made of common Spanich sealing wax, dissolved in spirits of wine, after which a mix- ture of equal parts of acid of galt and distill- ed vinegar is poured upou the marble, which corrodes the ground while the figures remain in relief, as if engraved, saving the cost of time and expense.

Tha editor of the Cleveland Plaindesler thus notfces the great Inauguration Ball given here on the 4th: ,, The dancing here was semewhat “ pecoo- liar”? It was mainly quadrilles, so called, ranged crossways of the hall, with head sets only in contra-dance style. The changes were few and simple, such as right and left, forward and back, ladies change, and then Tepested. There were no side sets—no regular cotillons atall. The want of variety in this metropol- itan dancing was, however, fully made up by the fancy flings, such as the walis and polka. These were absolutely barbarous. The old- fashioned waltz, the morality of which even Byron called in uestion, is here ignored as altogether too cold and distant. The lady here lays ber head on the gentleman's bosom, puts one hand in his and the other in bis coat- tail pocket, then resigns herself to his em- braces, and goes to sleep, all but her feet, which, when not carried by him clear off the floor, go patting around on the tips of her toes The gentleman, thus entwined, throws his head back and his ¢ up, like a dying calf; bis body bent in the shape of afigure 4, he whirls, backs up, swings around, swoons, to all appearances, pushes forward, and leaves the “ad to the great delight of all decent people. The belle of the ball was the great object of inquiry all the evening So many fine ladies, fine dresser, pretty eyes, pretty mouths, Gre- clan noses, graceful forms and good looking people, never were assembled in Washington or any where else before. So many orders of beauty, as many different tastes in dress; and such costly displays of the ornamental, pus- zle intencely all lovers of the beautiful. But we at last made the grand discovery We found the belle. and luckily, wo, from the great State of Ohio. She was a native Buck- eye Venus de Medicis! Wasn’t she a beau- ty? She isthe second daughter of the Hon David T Disney, late member of Con, ght, grace- ful in her carriage; has black eyes aot bate, a brunette, we should say, with fine rosy lips and red cheeks Her skirt was of rose = covered with a double skirt of lace em- roidered ; her head dress was crimson velvet leaves, with gold clusters of grapes, and en opera cape of scarlet cashmarett, embroidered with gold and silver. Although many there were who were lovely, she was the loveliest of them all. It may be proper to say, in thi« connection, that Mrs. Pugh, the lady of our worthy young Senator, was not present. (> A correspondent of the New York Jour- nal of Commerce, writing from Florence, says “ Every American, as well as every one with ataste for high art, visits the studio of Mr. Powers, the sculptor. I found him in his work dress, with cap and apron, standing among his breathing marbles. He is a plain, gentlemanly, and remarkebly unassuming man. The statue of ‘America, fe is packed for shipment, and [ saw only the onal It irited figure, trampling on chains, with d raised aloft a pe ing upwards. Penserozo’ is a recently fin- ished work, about to be sent to New York. I hope it may teach our belles that hoops and tight lacing are not essential te beauty of form. Mr. Powersisat present engaged — a statue of: * California,’ I believe for Mr. Astor, of New York. The model is only as yetcompleted. It a @ beautiful fe- male figure with a divining rod in ove hand, the other concealing behind her a bunch of thorns The original models of all the cele- brated works which have issued from this studio are preserved here; the Greek Slave, Eve, Fisher Boy, &c., as well as the busts of many eminent men who have set to his chisel.
