J. W. BRADLEY’S New Patent DUPIEX
ELLIPTIC [or double] SPRING SKIRT.
r IAHIS IN VENTION consists of Duplex (or
1 two) EllipticPlr* Refined StkklSpkisgs,
ingeniously Braided tightly and firmly togeth
er, KDos to edge, making the toughest, most
FLEXIBLE, ELASTIC and DURABLE SpRI.VO ever u
scd. They seldom bend or break, like the sin
gle Spring.and consequently preserve their per
tect and beautiful shape, more than twice as
long as any Single Spring Skirt that ever has
or can be made,
THE wonderful flexibility and great com
fort and pleasure to any La’dy wearing the-lhi
plex Elliptic Skill will be experienced particu
larly in all crowd, and Assemblies, Operas, Car
riages, Railroad Cars, Church Pews, Arm
Chairs, for Promenade and House Dress, as the
Skirt can be folded when in use to occupy a
small place as easily and couvotiiently as a
Silk or Muslin Dress.
A Lady having enjoyed the Pleasure, Com
fort and Great Convenience ofwearingthe Du
plex E liptic Steel Spring Skirt for a single
day will never afterwards willingly disperse
with their use. For Children, Misses and
Young Ladies they are superior to all other*-
THE HOOPS are covered with 2 fly double
twisted thread and will wear twice as long as
the Single yarn covering whirl, is used on all
Single Steel Hoop Skirts. The three bottom
rods on every Skirt are also Double Steele, ant
twice or double covered to prevent the covering
from wearing off the r<xf* when dragging dowr
stairs, stoi.e steps, etc., etc. which thiy art
constantly subject to when in use.
All are made of the new and elcgantCordeo
Tapes, and are the best quality in every part
giting to the wrarer the moat graceful and per
fect Shape possible, and are unquestionably
the lightest, most desirable, comfortable and
economical Skirt ever made.

YY ho Will Care for Nig-gersNow?
[a PARODY ON WHO WILT.CARE FOIt MOTH
ER NOW?]
List to me, plantation niggers,
While I in die mud hole lie,
Though I feel vigor*,
Let me say a word and die-
Niggers does dis look like freedum!
I cant see itany how ;
Black s am fools, and white folks lead ’em,
But who cares for niggers now!
CHOitrs.
Look here niggers; I am dying.
See the death sweat on my brow,
Dis am freedom, no use crying;
Wild will care for niggers now?
Some say niggers good as white folks,
Gizzard foot, and Eboshin,
Don’t beliebe it, ’tis a tight joke,
Handsome, but you can’t come in,
Well, you libed on old plantation,
Earning with a sweating brow,
Plenty clothes, and plenty rations,
But who cares for niggers now?
White folks say dev give us freedum,
What dev gib’s us all in my eye,
F rce to suffer, free to languish,
Frce to starve and free to die.
No potatoes, com cake, bacon,
We must to starvation bow.
If dis is freedum, I’se mistaken,
But who cares for niggers now ?
Four lines more beautiful than these
are rarely writteri. The figure which
they involve is exquisite :

Tells of the worlu to be,
As travelers hear the billows roll
Before they reach the sea.

showed her some black ones, at which
she elevated her nose heavenward and
waddled out like a duck in a thunder

Evidently the country girl who went
down to the city recently had these defi
nitions in her mind. A young gentle
man was to escort her some distance
through the city, and not wishing to
walk, he remarked, “Hold on, Mary;
let's take a ‘buss,’ but Mary, blushing
to the eyebrows, drew back, and
with wounded modesty replied, “.Oh,
George, not right here in the Street.”
The death penalty was restored, by

Joe B is unquestionably the hand
somest married man of Cincinnati.
Joe sports a wife, besides several other
creature comforts. Well, he and hi*
wife. Harry and George and
their wives all board at the same house.
A day or two ago while they were at
the table luxuriating on detached por
tions of a boiled turkey, with oysters,
the conversation turned on Christian
names, whett Mrs. Harry contended
that she could name more distinguished
individuals that bore the name of Har
ry than any gentleman could of his
own name, concluded by ottering a
gold pencil as a wager against a aujta-*
ble equivalent if she should win*
The trial commenced Mrs. Harry
started off with “Harry of the West.”
adding a dozen others. .
George now gathered upon Wash
ington, the four Georges of England,
and Lord George of France, etc.
“Now, Mr, John what have you te
say ?” asked the charming Mrs. Har
ry.
“Oh! I can give you a hundred.
The two Adams’, Lord John Russell,
John lyler, John, John—bring me
some water John !”
Stop, stop, you can’t win, Mr- Jo
seph it’s your turn now,” continued
tlie laughing little woman,
Now, if eref a bashful man lived, it
is friend Joe. He dared not look up.
He had been racking his brain for an
answer, but to no purpose—and in des
pair he made one grand effort ; and
raising his head reolied :
“My deaf Madam, I haVe lost. I
can not think of any very distinguish
ed man who ever bore the name of Jo*
seph, except the gentleman we read
about in the sacred scripture—he who
was such a favorite of Mrs. Potiphar—
But 1 will not offer him, for I think he
was the est fool 1 ever did hear of.**
“Here’s your pencil,” said Mrs.
Harry, tossing it over to him, as she
and the other ladies ncuddled out of
the door.
A gallant officer in one of the low*
regiments, who never quailed before
rebel bullets, fell an easy victim to a
pair of bright eyes, whose owner wore ft
beautiful a.pron, bearing the emblem o.
our country’s flag, and who was wait
ing on the lowa boys at a festival late
ly given on their return licrne. The
colonel wishing to make the lady’s ac
quaintance, remarked:
“That is a pretty apron .that you
wear, miss.”
“Yes,” said tne fair maiden, “this is
my flag.”
*1 have fought many a hard battle
under that flag.” rejoined the colonel.
Not under this flag, sir," indignant
ly exclaimed the beauty, as she swept
! away, leaving the gallant son of Mars
perfectly dumbfounded.
Lost Sheep.— A preacher of the
Methodist Church was travelling in
one of the back setlements, and stop*
| ped at a cabin, where an old lady rr
! ceived him very kindly. After setting
provisions before him, she began to
question him.
“Stranger where (nought you be
from ?”
“Madam, I reside in Shelby County,
i Kentucky.”
! “Wall, stranger, hope no offence, but
1 what mought you be doin’ way up
here?”
I “Madam, lam searching for the lost
sheep >f the tribe of Israel ?”

j dv, “come rite here this minit; here’*
Ia stranger all the way from Shelby

- just bet my liie that tangled-haired
old black ram, that’s been in our lot

The peace proclamation. —The fol
lowing from the Macon Telegraph
meets our entire approbation. By h<
way, we here take occasion to state
th?t we generally find our “bed quilt”
neighbor about right on most all ques.
lions it discusses :— Star.
a
We are enabled, this morning, to ,
spread this document entire before our 4
readers. It will be received vrilti le-**"
joining and grateful hearts throughout
the South, and ought to be throughout
the country. It is the evidence that
we are again a free people—that mi.ita
ry despotism is at an end, and that the
great civil right of the habeas corpus
has been restored to the people.—
Heaven be praised for this auspicious
ronsuuromation! We shall have no
more petty tyranny of subordinate*'*
over a loyal and well-meaning people—
no more contempt of law and disre*
gard of the right* of the citizens. The
constitution and laws of the land are
now supreme, and all. our former nuts**
ters as well as ourselves, are lo obey*
their sacred behests.
Such is the legal effect of this proc
lamation of peace. We have high ju
dicial authority for our interpretation
of its provisions.
P. S. one more effect of this docu
ment is worthy of notice, and we com
mend it to the attention of those whosft
conduct may have given it imparlance.
It puts an end to official insolence.—
With the restoration of civil law, also
comes the restoration of -personal a*>
cauntabi’itv.
