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 !

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.

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 Special Notice.
