Moreover, & greater degree of gloom than is necessary settles down upon communitics from the cessa tion of social intercourse and the often unneces sary interruption of regular public or family Pleasures. People who are not at all affected by monetary embarrassments still feel upon to be solemn, and show their sens we gfavity of the situation by ‘* putting a stop” to Trivoloas amusements of ‘all kinds. Others an- ticipate calamites by putting the screws on domestic expenditure, and while expending the larger amounts for their own gratification as lavishly as usual, make the family wretchd by trying to save a few dollars per week out of the already scant household expenditure. The con- sequence is that there are no sociab'es or tea parties, or ‘+ ladirs’ lunehes;* no “small and early” dinners, fe eptions, except those stereotyped ones which represent no more than leaving @ piece of pasteboard, and not many even of the family entertainments which are | Jooked upon as a duty by those who are forta- hate or upfortunate in the possession of a large stock of friends and relations.

As a matter wool materials are better adapted for use than the street. There is a tratl- ing grace to the long, plain skirt of a house dress of fine wool, which is lost in the street. Moreover they ‘catch dust,” as the phr: and soon grow ‘gray’ with being « on the street,” according to the modern habit of city women. Alpaca is the only fabric suited to the wear and tear of busy life, to the rubbing of the horse cars, the detile- ment of contract pavements, and the begrim- ing smoke of thousands of chimneys. One does not love alpaca, at least some of us do not, and have not s0 much objection to bunching it up, erimpling and wrinkling it, and perhaps tearing itout with pins when the stitches drop out as they always do. But alpaca is under a ban, with poplin and other bright surfaced fabrics, and so all wool. not only in cloth and serge, but in cashmere and meriuo, is brought to the garnish light of the day, and is put in contrast with brass buttons and jingling steel chains and high topped hats, until’ one’s heart is sickened, and one feels as if one’s own mother were being trailed abvut in the dust or the mud. REDUCTION IN PRICES. A first-class panic has its compensations to the merchants who in some respects suffer by it severely. Itenables them to get rid ata“ duced” price, of quantities of the old shop-wor: goods which otherwise they would never think of being able to sell at all. There is a peculiar the minds of people at sach kes them even when they have S willing to do @sort of penance by buying something they do not like and not want, fora little less than they woukl pay for something they do want and would like. In this way merchants get rid of aterrible lot of trash, and women ateumulate it. Undonbt edly some Lena fide reductions have been m: uainly of two kinds; first the decayed stuff already alluded to, secondly of a tew articles and fabrics whose prices are well known, and in which aslight redaction will be at once appreciated. It is surprising what ignorance exists on the partof the majority of women in regard to val- ues. For example, a lady asked the price of an article the other day in ‘a store where no even price is ever given. The saleswoman guessed at her customer, and feeling disinclined to exer- tion. she replied at random, ‘tive dollars and a "knowing the article to be marked up wards of fifteen dollars, but willing to quiz the Woman's ignora: 4 mischievously curious to see what the woman would say. ‘How very dear,” was the remark which came, as was ex- pected, as the querist passed on. Now how can reductions be made toreach the understanding of a woman like this? She does pot know when thing is d «i when itis cheap: her mental ge rises with the occasion. She would not ave been astonished if the price had been stated at fifty dollars,amd she would consider it equally “dear” at tive. ENAMELLING THE PACT. It basoflate years become, to # certain ex tent, @ fashion to enamel the face. | do not mean tosay that ladies vse enamel to beantis emeelves for promenading the streets, but t number of those whose social status ts undenia bly good, who do so when attending balls, the opera, &c., is much greater than some may pose. Undoubtedly they are ignorant of the consequence of the act, and are led from oue step to another, before they are aware in what it 18 to terminate. Let me, therefore, say a word as to the man- ner in which skin painting or enamelling must interfere with the functions which nature ha: given to the skin the duty of performing. Were enamel ever so innocent, chernically, it must, when applied to the skin in the manner that it is, become a poison; but how much more & poison, if chemically noxious! A pigment laid upon the skin is necessarily poisonous in its results, even though not classed 48 a poison. Skin enameling begins with a bath that is All exeresences must be taken hich ts in itself a very dangerous pro- en all wrinkles must be filled np.

Elegant, mysterious, without parentage or authenticity, this natural offspring of an in- trigue between a brickmaker and a savant stands with the front door near the cornice and the rear in a deep down-hill mash, like an architectural kangaroo. It issues a perennial document, which suggests to one the idea of the prophet’s celestial virgins renewed every day, or a Chinese drama which runs in parts for our perpetual edification. The cultivation of polite Rtcrature, and of the boot heels raiecd in tmid~ air is carried to perfection at this nondescript bureau. The chief hydrographer is an elegant gentleman who formerly commanded a ship of war, but, like many sailors, never got over the nal'de mer, and preferred a life on the ocean wave wellinland. It is he who has proposed the improvement of the harbor of Washington bya bulkhead extension which he has computed to cost $6,050,000, and which will destroy more of the natural landscape so deplored by Mrs. Pierce, but be—what we presume is of no co quence to a female writer—a very sensible and some time @ necessary work. We cannot always have everything sylvan in a large city. There will be nasty sewers and sewer-traps and refuse, and so forth, for the benefit of censvrious There must be grades for horses, € to be considered as well as landsc amateurs, and those grades are also ne sary to maintain control of the sewerage gas and water systems under the surface. Some people maintain, as well, that there mast always be a Coast Survey, and we suppose that to be true; but it was a little weak ot the Fay, if she be of the Pierce family aforesaid, to in- vite attention to the manifest artifice of its new edifice while taking to task our poor townsmen, who bave improved the one opportunity of a century to make the capital worthy of its asso- ciations, and are the best-abnsed and ablest body of civic rulers to-day in America, Noth- ing was so unexpected as their resources and capacity, but the City of Washington has al. ways been a target for assault and for the mean. est form of American dislovatty. Conceive the stupidity, causeless panic, and civic unfriend- liness of the late capital-moving job—a rebel- on without a motive, without courage, and without success. It made a civic spirit in this belittied and bespattered city, which we, whose bidren’s birthplace is endeared to us, will svist to the utmost of our endeavyor,—unmoved clamor, yielding to no gag law, j editorial conspiracy. and trustin, civic annals of the capita! we shall be written amongst those ‘‘who loved our fellaw-men.”” Mrs. Pierce’s article on Washington is chiefly hash and growl, as it the nnimal entering into the hash wae still articulate. Her heart siter- nately ‘sinks with dismay over the mistaken frontage of the Capitol, and swells in indigna- tion over its suorrundings.” The value ot her statistics may be inferred from this sentence: “as for the French-roofed cottages in neat lawns that, with their gay slatings, bow-win- dows, and ‘vine-clad porches, are now every- where in the North, they seem absolutely ab- known.” The report of the chief engineer of the city, who is an architect, and a good one, shows that in the past twelve months seventy Mansard roots have been erected on the 1,072 new houses put up, and we have an inspector of buildings who is rigorous in his surveillance, «nd has himselt probably put up 200 Mansard verings. Governor Shepherd has covered the place with bays and Mausard pavilions. Al) the school-bouses are so ornamented, and all the pew public constructions, including, L believe, the Coast Survey aforesaid, where we smell the ‘earned man’s man roast beef. Mrs. Pierce is one of those women who ande: take to scold what bas been omitted in ti capital city, and says continually, “Why is thi- [vei compan or ignorant of the fact tha 5 on with the pubitc ted the town to ram- up in its own way. 1t has rambled up very ‘In eighty years, and we who live in it efer it to any city in America. Why are we med at aud ridiculed, whether we remain stationary or goahead? Isthere anything ex- traordinary in a city borrowing money att: putting the question to popular vote? Who could have spent this amount of mouey in the spaceof time without incurring suspicion? And there is hot one point proven against the Gov- ernor except the universal knowledge that he is the most active private builder in the city, and had put up hundreds of bouses before he bad any public authority. The way to make a capital worthy of the country and re- sponsive to bar age is to approach e subject with the feeling of patriot- ism, not grudging every cent nor as saulting the national reservation with the acer- bity of a provincial scold. Give it liberal ap- propriations, make its local anthority coordi- nate with the public commissioners, give it a chance, and for Heaven's sake spare as from this dreadful fatality suggested by Mra.

Perhere is no law of the animal economy more apparent than that the period of youth 18 the proper period for development, growth, and fitting for the service required in after years. And in the horse greater importance in this respect can attach to no part of his organism, than to the organs of locomotion. A horse off his feet is good for nothing; and to have foar good sound feet and legs under him, is one of the grandest qualifications in the valuationof this animal. The highest authorities on the anatomy and physiology of the horse unite in pronouncing the first three years of his life as of the utmost importance {n giving him that development of muscle, sinew and tendon, 8o necessary to his after ‘soundness, endurance and value. For the Euros of accomplishing this, the colt should have absolute rest during the first three years of his life, always exce ing that gentle and necessary exercise, alway conductive to a healthy condition. There should be no forcing, no undue straining or exertion. ‘The laws controling growth and decay within the animal and vegetable kingdoms ate immu- table, and in proportion as maturity or devel- opemnt is hastened, in that proportion will early decay or loss of vigor result. In thedirect appiication of this law to horses, Stonhenge the | Boag English authority says: “If the breeder as his attention drawn to the production of colts which shall at two years of age be formed like old horses, and be fit to compete with them for short distances it will always result that he attains his end at a considerable sacrifice of durability, asevinced in the dimin- ished strength of constitution, and the feeble and yielding nature of the organs of locomotion. Such a course will tend to the production of un- sound and soft constituted animals, and it can- not occasion surprise if the percentage of lame- ness or other intirmity is greatly increased.” We could quote # colimn from this and other writers, treating of the evil consequences of the tuo early training of young colts, but itis whol- ly unnecessary so self evident is the fac It is getting to be a fashion to trot two and three-year-old colts on the course, previous whieh, in many instauces, they are obliged to submit to the inost severe, exacting and inhu- man training. A case in point occurred at the recent meeting of the Kantucky Horse Breed- ers’ Association, at Lexington, where three-year olds that had never beaten 2:50 were trotted . The summary of this race is given the turf journals, and in some the prac- tice receives just and severe discountenance 's Alley—the product of Al- nt oy, nder's Abdallah—trotted in %-. The track was very heavy, (the mud six or eight inches deep) and this coit not only wore front shoes weighing two pounds each, but, in addition weight-boots of two pounds each, making eight pounds of extra weight on lis front feet—and this for a colt only three years old! On the third heat he was forced to make the first half mile in 1:17, but reached the home stand, tired and exhausted. Is sucha thing to be countenanced in a civilized—a cbristian country? In the name of humanity we protest against such cruelty to the most no- bie race of animals the Creator ever gave to be the servant of man. But is anything gained by this treatment? On the contrary is not much lost, every way? The constitution of the colt if not utterly bro: ken is so impaired that he is of little value after- wards, We venture the assertion that Treacy’s Alley, will not at five years of age, repeat his a of Oct. 23d when three years old. Sarly forcing for the pu of accomplishing unheard of feats m a two or three year old is invariably followed by a correspondingly early decay. Nature wili surely revenge such treatment, and the early breaking up of the an- imal vigor certainly follows. From the same ar- gument it may be set down as clear that a horae kept at service in the stud, should never be trotted ; por ou the other hand should a horse trained for the course be expected to excel as & breeder, or a getter of trotters. The animal vigor, if exhausted in one direction cannot be expected to show great results in another direc- tion. We could produce many instances in support of this statement. Rysdyk’s Hamble- tonian, the great getter of famous horses, never trotted a public race. One of the best of his get, Alexander’s Abdallah, was got by him when two years old. Staillons that haye after some years of training shown good speed, when removed from the turf to the stad with the hope of getting trotters, have generally disappointed the expectations of their owners in this. re- spect. Horses kept in the stud exclusively, have almost invariably been the best getters of trotters; andon the other hand young stallions whove cnergics have been exhausted in training and ou the turf, when after having shown re- markable time and placed in the stud have not generally produced colts that were fast. Asa general rule—something of course depends upou the breed of horses, as an early or late ma- turing breed—we feel safe in saying that no colt should be trained for the tarf before five or wix years of age. The time before this should be given to perfecting the animal organism, and to moderate exercise and handling, 80 con- ductive to health and vigor.—Maine Farmer. “A Sap, Fava APrAIR" tN Missovri—aA sad, fatal affair occurred at the school-house in sub-district No. 2, 38, 17, on yesterday after- noon. From the best information we can get, it appeare that on ye: jay morning a difi- culty of some Kind arose yetween . echolar, @ young woman, and the teach is rather # delicate young lady. The scholar, it seems, took the teacher by the hai-of the head and dragged ber over the benches. A young man, Rychard Laughlin, went to the assistance ot his teacher and parted them. The large girl went home, and tn the afternoon her brother made his x Spree sone at the school-room, cursing swearing vengeance at every body and ore rae Young Langhlin went out and asked him to hash and go away, and not disturb the school. An older brother of this young man, who is a brother-in-law to young Laughlin, remarked that his brother had @ much right there as anyone. Young Laugh: lin turned to speak to his her-in-law, when this big brother threw a stone which struck Laughlin on the shoulder. Laughlin turned around to see trom whence the blow came, when the bie brother threw a second stone, which struck him just over the right temple, crushing in the skull, from the effects of which “ ee oe two hours afterward.—Linn Creek tet, 14th. in Spirit of the “Times especialiy, the SKULLS FoR LLAST.— .
