TUESDAY MORNING. September 22, 1868
[From the N. Y. Democrat.
THE GRECIAN BEND.
When lovely woman stoops to folly,
And learn too lato that men deride
What art ean soothe her doxie-dolly,
And charm the truant to her side ?
It has been generally conceded by poets,
philosophers, and the world at large, that
lovely woman has a will of her own. At
least, we have never met a lover, a husband,
a grandson, the poverty-stricken heir ex
pectant of a wealthy aunt, or, indeed, any of
the buskers in beauty’s haughty smile, who
was not now and then forced to that con
clusion.
She delights in being disobedient. Now
she will, and then she won’t. Indeed, to be
contrary, under any and all circumstances,
seems to be one of the necessary crotchets
wedged into the vari-hued mosaic of her
general loveliness.
But there is one tyrant even more whim
sical, more wayward than she—whom she
never ventures to disobey. She may spurn
her lover with her pretty foot; she may
snap her taper fingers under her liege lord’s
nose, and say “Bah I’’ sbe may even defy
the old “governor’’ himself, until he comes
down with the brads like a martyr, a man,
and a pater Jamilias of the doting type ;
but— >
THE FIAT or FASHION
will make her tremble like a balmoral in a
stiff sou'wester, aud she will go to any
length, submit to any physical agony, and
resort to any expedient, to fulfil the mandate
to the letter.
The goddess knows that her whim is su
preme, and, tyrant-like, delights in imposing
the most ludicrous edicts upon her willing
subjects. Now she makes them appear as
if their waists were under their arm-pits.
At her nod, it is lengthened out so absurdly
as to make the wearer a hideous enigma to
the-sludent of the female form divine. In
deed, she does with them as she pleases—
piles head-pieces on the summit of their
giddy little heads as a Spanish muleteer
would pile up his panniers, or hangs bunches
of wadding on the back of their craniums,
until wonder is excited that they grow not
top-heavy; distends their skirts to the
circumference of one of Professor Wise's
balloons, or contracts them to the dear ex
pression of the limbs beneath. But her
last and most merciless edict, kuown as
THE GRECIAN BEND,
considering the willing slavery of her sub
jects, contains an clement of cruelty, as well
as of the ludicrous, for perfection is only
attained through real and acute suffering on
the part of the martyr to her rule.
It is hardly necessary to describe the na
ture of the Grecian Beud, since thousands
of examples may be seen any fine day on
Broadway and our other fashionable thor
oughfares. The true Bend, the Bend of the
etUc and refined, consists in the young lady
throwing her body forward and head back,
as though she were trying to catch a soap
bubble on the end of her nose. At the same
time, through the medium of gaiter-heels
from three to four inches high, she is com
pelled to walk almost on the very tips of her
toes. This, as a matter of consequence,
throws the posterior portion of the fiaine far
into the rear, giving the entire form the
figure of a triangle, with one of the angles
resting on the ground, the other shooting
heavenward at an inclination of about
thirty-five degrees, and the remaining one
pointing in a line parallel with the earth’s
surface.
The height of the fashion is to enhance
the latter angle by a certain puffy, hood
like article of dress, -rescmblutg the tail
plumes of ati ostrich, thus giving a delight
ful exaggeration to the triangular figure,
which is meant to be particularly ravishing.
A young lady
ON A PEKFBCT GRECIAN BENDER,
moves along the street in a manner to-dis
turb all-dear old. notions of a motion that
should low, rather than step.
Gone is the good old flounce-flinging
swing ; gone the soft, yqt nervous, grace of
the free, unconscious step ; gone the Jong,
undulating carriage, like a trim clipper
swinging gracefully over the long swells of a
summer sea.
She trips, or rather pegs her way along,
with au anxious, studied expression of coun
tenance, as it under a perpetual apprehen
sion of losing her equilibrium, and topping
over on her head. If, in the exercise ol her
undeniable privilege, she attempts to display
her pretty ankle at the curb, she spins about
ridiculously, regains her (we were about to
say perpendicular) triangle with difficulty,
and cither gives it up in despair, or spas
modically exhibits far more than she in
tended.
If she meets a gentleman friend, she re
sponds to his gallantly*lifted tile by a dis
torted wriggle, a wag of her ostrich-lail, and
a forced smile, by which she vainly endeav
ors to mask the physical anguish she is
suffering.
In educating a young lady up to the per
fection of this cruel distortion,
TUP AGONIES KNOCKED BY THE VICTIM
are something which we would have thought
incredible, considering that she annually
submits to them of her own free will, had we
not been informed of the cruel process by
one who has “ been there.’’,
We will .suppose the case of a boarding
school miss, possessing both beauty and
grace—all of which it is proposed to trans
form into the hideousness bearing this classic
misnomer. In the first place she is envel
oped in a corset as stiff and strong as u coat
of mail, and drawn so tightly that she can
but with difficulty breathe. She is com
pelled to wear this night and day, for a cer
tain number of weeks, the corset never being
meddled with, except for the purpose of
drawing it a little tighter.
When this phase of the deformity is com
plete, she is subjected to what is called
THE STEEL STHTCHKB.
This is a broad, flat steel rod, always as
stiff as * poker, extending up the back from
the lower edge of the straight jack st (to
which it is riveted) to the nape of the neck,
and at the same time adhering firmly to
lk« Jacket *ll the way up. At the top is a
THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
strong but delicate screw, a twist of which
presses a bard pud against the summit of
the spinal column, forcing it forward at the
will of the operator.
A pair of shouldcr-brisces beneath the
corsage keep the shoulders forced back in
u manner that would be truly beneficial,
wore it not for the accessories of the cruel
instrument. When Completely encased in
this contrivance, the screw is turned down
as far as possible, without actually snap
ping the backbone, and the victim is per
mitted to limp, groaning, about the premises
for a certain number of days, until the up
per portion of the Bend is supposed to be
achieved.
One would think that this were enough
for an ordinary mortal to endure, without
actually tempting the griin destroyer ; but
she has yet to receive the finishing-touch.
IIIGH-HEEI/ED GAITERS,
the heels of which in many cases arc, with
out exaggeration, three and a half inchos
high, are the shape in which this refinement
of torture comes.
If the poor girl’s sufferings were groat be
fore, they are now absolutely exerutiating.
Daily she is compelled to walk, or pick her
way along for miles, and even leagues, in
these abominations, in comparison with
which the iron shoe of . Chinese belle is an
Indian moeasin, lined with eider down.—
ovnrystcp is tortlire,every movement anguish.
But the young lady is ambitious. The
Grecian Bend glimmers in the distance,
and she will dhtain it, or die.
Presently she does attain it, and is forth
with turned out from stretcher, spine
breaker, strait jacket and shoulder-straps—
turned out from everything but the high
heelcd gaiters—and is thereafter the mince
footed, bent-back, animated triangle of
present pain and future incurable maladies,
which has been the object of her ambition.
But if she could only know
THE ESTIMATION IN WHICH MEN REGARD THE
"BEND,"
she has suffered much agonies to achieve, a
change would most likely come over the
spirit of her dream.,
They abominate it.
They hate it.
They loathe it.
Any man with a particle of appreciation
for true female beauty, would no more take
for his wife one of these crooked, bowed
deformities, than he would seek a post
prandial siesta on the iron bed of Proeustes.
A dread of future doctors’ bills would tilwifc'
deter him. In comparison with such a mar
riage, a hermit’s cave in the wilderness would
be wanton and voluptuous.
Yet, right on the swinging, hobbling tail
of this abominable Grecian Bead, wo hear
of numerous other vagaries equally as ab
surd, if not as painful.
THE CRETAN CURVE
is a new mode of making a courtesy, where
in, if accomplished to a dot, the lady is com
pelled to droop so low as to be in imminent*
danger of breaking her left leg at the knee.
This, also, is only achieved after long-cou
tiuucd ami painful calf-themes.
THE THEBAN TWIST,
may be practiced in conjunction with the
Grecian Bend.
It consists of a peculiar twisting of the
hips, in walking, combined with a simulta
neous bobbing ol the abdomen backward
and Un ward, supposed to be an imitation
(God forbid!) of Greek ladies in their pas
sages to and from the Theban games.
THE TELOPONNESIAN FRANCE,
as it is termed in the hembastic affection of
the day, is a sort of mincing cross between
a broken-legged grasshopper’s attempt 10
perform the “Lancers" and the last spasm of
a dying frog.
Our young men somehow manage to sur
vive the melancholy spectacle, but if Pelops
himself could see it, his hair would “stack
bayonets” all over his venerable cranium.
THE OLYMPIAN I.YMF
is attained by making one boot-bee! about
two inches shorter than the other, and then
producing a perpetual stitch in the side, by
a tightening of the corsage.
This gives a peculiar hall to the carriage
of the charmer, which is supposed to be
quite distingue; but would not fail to set
all Olympus in a roar.
THE ARCADIAN CURVET
is a matter of agility, and ean only be ex
hibited to advantage in crossing a crowded
thoroughfare, or tire like.
It is about as graceful as a lame donkey
on a tread mill, tmd is, after all, a weak
devise of the enemy, simm the real object is
to display a tempting ankle —an end often
consummated i(i a far greater degree than
the fair exhibitor can possibly bo aware of.
THE SWABIAN SWING
cannot possibly be accou.plishcd in conjunc
tion with the popular distortion whose
misnomer forms the chief head-line of this
article.
The swing, or wag, is So great that the
fair Grecian would certainly lose ffcr bendi
bus before she was well aware. The Swa
bian is, therefore, not likely soon to become
a favorite.
THE ROMAN WRIGGLE
is a peculiar complication of distortions aud
writhiugs, which we will uot attempt to
define ; since any such attempt must end in
failure.
Such are a few of the vagaries of fashion
in these frivolous times. Ii) wonder we put
the question to ourselves, Whal next?
We arc ready lor anything !

AUGUSTA, GA„ TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1 868.
Official.
Proclamation by the Governor.
Whereas, Law-abiding citizens from many
sections of the State unite in comnlunioatioiie to
this Department, setting forth that misguided
persons are stirring up strife among the people,
by unlawful acts of violence against the person
aud property of citizens, ou account of political
opinion; and that persons distinguished for their
hostility to the Government of the United States,
and of this State, are promoting said acts of vio
lence by publicly denouncing the laws as revolu
tionary, unconstitutional and void, and declaim
ing in a manner tending to excite resistance to the
lawful authority of the State, and to persuade
others to join in a combined resistance to and a
disregard of the civil rights of citizens; aud
whereas, it is further communicated that the inev
itable result of said acts of violence and insurrec
tionary appeals is already becoming manifest in
the rapid spread of a disposition on the part of
those who maintain the validity of the laws of
Congress, aud of the State Governments estab
lished thereunder, to protect themselves by arms
from said acts of violence, and from said combi
nations against their civil rights; and whereas,
the General Assembly has adopted the following
preamble and resolution: "Whereas, it being the
practice of a portion of the citizens of this State
to assemble in large numbers with arms, for the
purpose of exercising in military tactics, and for
other unlawful purposes, without authority of
law. and to the terror of the good citizens thereof:
Resolved, therefore, by the Senate and House of
Representatives, 'Dial his Excellency the Gov
ernor be, and he is hereby, respectfully requested
to issue his proclamation, prohibiting such armed
and unlawful assemblages. But the right of the
people to peaceably assemble for the consideration
of any matter shall not be impaired by any free
tarnation of the Governor."
Note, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor
of this State, and Commander in-Cliief of the
army aud navy and militia thereof, do issue thia
my Proclamation, commanding all citizens to ab
stain from any acts of violence against person or
property, or from persuasions which will tend to
excite to violence or unlawful combinations, aud
from all interference with the constitutional right
of persons to assemble for political or other peace
ful purposes; and to yield prompt aud respectful
obedience to the officers of the law under all cir
cumstances; and also charging upon the raid
officers the exercise of great vigilance that the
majesty of the civil law be vindicated and great
caution that all their acts may be fully justified by
and done in pursuance of our Constitution and
laws. And to make known that no authority has
been granted by the Executive for the formation
of armed or unarmed organizations of any kind or
character; and that the drilling or exercising in
military tactics with arms of any organized body
of men within (bis Slate, except the army of the
United States, is unauthorized., unlawful, and
against the peace aud good order of the St ate, and
must be immediately suspended.

L’NITJSI) STATES AND JORBIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
189 Broadway, New York.
M e&srs. BROWN, COOMBS & CO., I’roprie-1
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
best services to inveulore, as Solicitors of Ameri
cauand Foreign Patents. Mr. HknkyT.Brown,
of this firm, has had more than twenty-two yearn'
experience iu that prefession. both in this country
and Europe, nnd his long practice has made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors aud patentees. Tbe applications for the
patents upou many of the greater and more im
portant inventions of the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs dr. Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid ttansartiou of
business with the United Stale* Patent Office, mid
the geueial practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; and this knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present uuequuled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet B|>eedily prepare all the docu
ments required by law iu applications for paleuta,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
ofauccess iu their|efibrte to obtain’,Lettere|Pnteut for
inventions that are really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawings which must always accompany every
appiicaUw for a patent, and they employ »oii« hut
the most efficient draughtemen. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Brown,Coombs
&. Co.’s business is performed, is, that the “Ameii
ican Artisan PatnHT Aoency," during the three
years of its existence, has been the most successful
institution of the kind, ever established.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown.Coombs
& Co. nre situated at 189 Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. This location is one of verjreasy access by
strangers. Inasmuch as it is within a stone's throw
from the City Hall. All inventors temporarily «o
jouining in the metropolis nre invited to visit thia
establishment. I n|t he majority of instance no model
or drawing of au invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a. mere oral description by
the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
aknowlcdge of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown; Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
whet her a mac In ue or process is ne w or old —paten
table or not. The office boure are from .9 a. M.
to 5 11.I 1 . M.
Messra. Brown, Coombs A- Co. arc prepared to
furuisti tn persons residing at a distance from New
York—free of c harge— ivrillen opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do thia they simply require a
sketch or rohgli model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to he new, together with
a buefdes< ii|Biou of the same, ami as soon an poa
sible thereafter a letter of the best advice is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions me formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if an inventor desires to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea has ever been embodied
in a machine or process already patented. his wisest
course will be to have a preliminary examination
made at the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coumbh Ac. Co., who will make a special
soarcli', among all the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward b full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention an
der examination. For this labor the small fee of
$5 is |>ayable in advance; and the lewiltauee
should be accom|umied by a sketch oftlio invention
add a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those pointsof novelty which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Patent
• Patents for uew and iiaefiil inventions arc now

first instalment ol’tlie Government fee is sls, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax
on the power-of attorney—is payable tn advance,
ou applying for the patent; and S2H additional are

cording to the labor involved; but tn all cases onr
chargee will f;e as luodeiate as possible in the pre
paralien of drawings aud all necessary docnineuta.
This fee is net payable until after tbe application
has been prepared aud the case is ready to be sent
to Washington. Messrs. Brown. Coombs &• Co.
have a branch in WasHinoton so that all applica
tions made through them can have every necessary
attention in their passage through t he Patent Office
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of their machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners in the Patent
Office; but if the invention is a chemical com,«osi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Each of these should be marked with the in
ventor's iiauio. then carefully boxed, and sent (by
express, prepaid], together with the first instalmen
oftlm<4overiimcntfee,toMeters Brown,Coombs
& Co. When the model is small and light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentliy mail Th©
model must not exceed one foot in any ol itsdnnens
ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, except those for designs, are granted
on cqualJernis to citizens ami all foreigners,except
inhabitants of Canadu aud some others of Uie
British American Provinces.
Besides patents or new ami usefu, invenlious.
there are also granted patents for designs.
Design-patents are not now, as formerly, limited
strictly to ornamenlal configuration ; but mirier
Section II id tbe Act of March 2, 1861, any new
form ol'aiiy arli'cle, or any impression orfigure upou
the surface of any article or material, by whatever
means or process produced, can be patented. Un
der this Act, patentees arc entitled to the exten -
sion of their respective patents for the term of seven.
years from the <lay on which said patents shall ex
pire, upon the same terms and restrictions as are
now provided for the extensions of Letters Patent.
Among the numerous subjects f»i pntenta of this
class may be particularly mentioned— castings of
all metals, parts ol machines, household liimiuire
and utensils; glacawaro, hardware ol all kinds,
cornices, and other interior and exterior decorations
ofbuildings; also, ilesiuus for woven and printed
fabi K-s. dress and nphoktery trimmings, and har

packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forme of
such bottles, Inixei, or packages themselves, and
envelopes, likewise all works of art, us statuary,
bust.i, conmosilioiis in alte or basso relievo. The
Government fee on a design patent for 3} youtu is
sltl;'j7 years, sls; 11 years, S3O. No models of
oesigu* nre-required : luit dwdicate drawings or
photographs must be furnislieil- The siiecilicaliun
to acrtimpanv the drawings or photographs re
quires to be’prepared with great care. Messrs
Hkown, Uoombs Ac Co. give very particular at
tent ton to this branch of their business. Their
charge lor preparing applications for design intents
is generally aliont sls. Design patents are only
granted to American citizcnsor to aliens who have
resided one year in the United States and made
oath of their intention to become citizens thereof.
The facilities of Messrs. Blows, Coombs it Co
for obtaining patents in llio various European
countries are equal if not M(>erior to those of any
other in the United States. With regard to their
qualifications for each bosiuew, it need only be
stated that Mr. Brown has had the prepara
tion of more Euro|>ean applications than any
othei person in this country, Messrs. Brown,
Coombs &. Co., besides having « branchoffict in

Asiatic Cholera in China.
•
ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KIJ.LEB.
Read the following letter from
Rev. 11. Telford. Missionary in Chino, now
visiting hie home in Pennsylvania;
Washington, Pa., June2s, 1866
Messrs. Perry Davis At Son, Providence, R. 1.:
Dear Sire—During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera.
In administering th© medicine, I found it moet
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot witter sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot. applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clear and rub tbe limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took tbe medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
KTELFORD.
If an attack with Diarrhma, Dysentery, or
Cramp CoUe, don’t delay the neo of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1866.
(rentleme 11-- * * ” I want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable medicine, and always keep it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
In my practice I used it f reely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1849, and with better success than any
other medicine ; I also used it here for cholera in
1855, with the same goad result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING. M. D.
Bwato, China.
Cholera ! * * * I regret to say that the
cholera hae prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from leu to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re
ported. I should add that the Pain Killer, sent,
recently from the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken iu season is generally effectual in check
iug the disease.
Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG,
Sholapore, India.
[From tbe Portland Monthly.!
Sammer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
everywhere acceptable, and that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis'
I’ain Killer is thia desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
"For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonful iu a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dos©
lor children, according to the ago. If the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mod© of treatment is good in eases of
the cholera morbus, sodden stoppages, etc. Re
peat, the dose every hour.
"The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking one spoonfol of (he Pain
Killer in one gill ot milk and molsssea stirred
well together and drank hot, at the same time
bathing tbe bowels freely with medicine. Let
the dos© be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved."
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a buttle
of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would be saved. jel2—2ni
