SUNDAY MORNING, FEB. 14,1869
extravagance in female dress.
Sometime since, Judge Aldrich, in a
caustic public lecture, dwelt with pro
nounced severity upon the extremes of
Fashion appertaining to the female mind
of our day. There was a general approval
of his sentiments, we believe, but there arc
no evidences of practical profit. The
ladies still get themselves up like tropic
sunrises, and the chief torment of nearly all
is that they have, in the midst of accumu
lated finery, “ nothing to wear.” His Holi
ness the Pope has deemed it a matter of
importance to express himself ou the same
theme. His anathema, with much adroit
ness. is not clothed in the formal thunders
of the Vatican, but finds utterance in a
neat and paternal letter addressed to a
devout French damsel, Marie j>e Gen
tf.lles, who has had the courage to pub
lish a work rebuking her sisterhood for
their perilous reliance upon the gauds and
fripperies of the tinsel |rorid. The Pope
autograpliically says:
“In these times of peril, each day mere
dangerous for the soul, it is our custom to
apply ourselves to extirpate the root of evils,
among which the extravagance of women is
assuredly one of the first iu importance.—
While iu the month of October last we treated
with the respect due to the sanctity of our
temples, and of the means to avoid certain dis
orders into which the people ot our city of
Rome has fallen, we also said something re
garding that pernicious plague Os extravagance
which is raging everywhere, and of the proper
means to encounter it.
“We see theu with great satisfaction, dear
daughter iu Jesus Christ, that, not content
with conforming yourself to our advice, you
have so well understood the importance and
gravity of the matter, that you have written a
hook upon its dreadful consequences, and
aroused the women of our time—especially
those who are enrolled in the association of
Christian Mothers and of Children of Mary—
to league themselves against this evil, which is
fraught with ruin to the home aud the family.
“For this it is which, in the artistic care of
garments and head dress —attentions which in
deed are bestowed many times in a day—this it
is which absorbs the time that they ought to
give to works of piety and charity and to fami
ly duties; it is this which leads to brilliant
parties, to public promenades and to shows ; it
is this which teaches howto run from house
to house, under pretext of duties to fulfill,
there to give themselves up to idleness, curi
osity and indiscreet talk. It is this which
serves as the food for evil thoughts—this which
consumes the resourcosTbey ought to keep for
their children and wastes the suhstaucc which
ought to be so useful to them. This it is which
often disunites man and wife, and still more
often hinders marriage, for men are not often
found who conseut to charge themselves with
such enormous expense.
“ Let all be persuaded that to insure the
esteem and love of their husbands, they have
no need of sueh eostly hair dressiug, of such
splendid toilets; but rather to cultivate their
mind, their heart, and to cultivate virtue, lor
‘all their glory coinetb from within.’ ”
That this is sound advice, we firmly be
lieve; that it will have no more effect than
similar proiiunciamentos in the past, we
timidly venture to assert. The reason of
woman’s obstinacy on this subject may be
found iu a natural aversion to have what
she considers her own peculiar domain in
vaded by the “ holier than thou ” of the op
posite sex. Generally, the mao who de
-11 1, 'Yx'.-hi sp m a way to offend
their pride, 1 and loses his case for want of a
little gentleness. His extreme of censure
provokes extreme of retort, and, in such an
encounter, it must be admitted, the fair
sex have decided advantages. Leaving out
volubility and tears, the argumentative
woman proceeds, with dexterous strategy,
to personalities, and, conceding her own
weakness for dress, compels the man to de
fend his own snobbishness of attire. The
'reformation of this evil, then, must come
more appropriately from the admonitions
and remonstrances of such persons as
Marie de Gentet.les. The soft hand of
an earnest woman must brush away by de
grees the superficial imperfections of her
own sex ; and so kindly must this be done
that, in removing the paraphernalia from
brow and arms, care must be taken not to
humiliate and stab the good hearts that
throb beneath the milliner’s disguise. Some
body has said, with much wisdom, that if
the girl of the period is not as perfect as
she should be, the bov of the period is to
blanle for it. We hold that there is sub
stantial truth in this statement. Let the
men rise to a high stature of excellence, and
never fear but the women will more than
match them in genuine worth. Let the
men begin the exercise of that simplicity of
manner they desire to find in the women,
the women will very soon teach them les
sons in propriety. Pending this change,
we should welcome Marie de Gentet.les
in the lists and encourage her task. Pray
heaven she be pretty as well as pious!
While it may be amiss for males to find
fault with extravagance in dress, it will
prove an unmixed calamity to discover that
the female foe of fashion is a Medusa as
well as an antique.
Errors in Regard to the War. —Gen.
Jurat, Eari,y affirms that it is erroneous
to suppose that Washington could have
been taken after the first Mauassas. He
likewise denies that Johnson, Beaure
gard and W ise have endorsed Pollard’s
sloppy history. He calls upon Gen. Lee to
do the same.
Rampant. —Senator Sumner urges the
Radical party to make haste to adopt the
fifteenth amendment, by meausof the exist
ing Legislatures. Squinting at Pennsyl
vania, he slyly insinuates that 15,000 ne
groes in that State are urgently needed in
order to keep down Democracy.
The Baltimore Gazette, speaking of the high
toned morality of Congressmen, says:
Butler, in writing to his correspondents, in
tersperses his letters with scriptnral quotations.
Wilson puts on a solemn visage as be talk 9 of
the “ Rock of Ages.” Yates makes temperance
speeches. Harlan discourses of the beauty of
holiness aud the blessings of a Well spent life,
aud from a condition of poverty suddenly ac
quires great wealth. Pomeroy becomes presi
dent of a couple of "railroads in Kansas, and of
the subsidy granted by Ooogress to one of
them puts, it is asserted by Gen. Boynton, one
hundred thousand dollars into his own pockets.
One hundred millions of dollars, Mr. Jenckes
tells ns, are annually stolen from, the reveuue,
and Mr. Wells to a great degree eonfrms the
statement.
One ot the gambling establishments at
Baden Baden has offered Mrs. Lincoln £2,000
Der year to remain there a« the guest of that
establishment for three years. The offer has
been accepted.
The Swedish philanthropists are endeavoring
to discover a cure for their national vice of in
temperance, which prevails to such an alarm
ing extent that the Legislature is called upon
from all quarters to interfere and put it down
with a Even its victims, it is
said, are themselves joining in th« cry. The
King of Sweden sympathizes with the temper
ance men, hut hesitates in acJon. The Maine
Law goes the lehgth of forbidding the sale of
intoxicating drinks ; bnt the Swedish agitators
go further, and propose a rigorous statutory
Jaw to suppress their manufacture.
Senatorial Affection.
now radical senators love one another.
“ Mack” writes as follows to the Cin
cinnati Enquirer:
The Senatorial elections of this Winter
liaye not increased the amount of brotherly
love as between Senators of the same State
and belonging to the same political party.
I don’t know how it is, but there is a cor
diality of hatred and a reciprocity of con
tempt between the great men of the Radical
party in the Senate, that, il fully known,
would astonish most people. Fessenden
hates Sumner, and says in private conversa
tion Tie’s a fool. Sumner hates Fessenden,
and Savs he’s a wretch. Harlan hates
Grimes, and say he’s a man of no principle.
Grimes hates Harlan, and says lie’s a
swindler. Wade hates Sherman, and says
he’s a political coward. Sherman—well,
John hasn’t enough blood in him to either
love or hate. Conness hates Cole (they are
both Radicals from California remember,)
and calls him all the evil names he can
think of. Cole reciprocates the favor by
giving, as his private opinion of Conness,
that he is the biggest scoundrel unhung.—
Trumbull talks of Yates as a drunken fool,
and Yates talks of Trumbull as a sober
sneak. If what Williams, of Oregon, says
of Corbett, of Oregon, be true, Corbett, of
Oregon,.ought to be in a lunatic asylum ;
and if what Corbett, of Oregon, says of Wil
liams, of Oregon, be true, Williams, of Ore
gon, ought to be in the State’s prison. And,
O! ye gods, listen to Drake talk of his
newly-elected colleague, the humble Schurz
—he of the unfathomable German mind
and the metaphysical German countenance
—the disciple of Kant aud the countryman
of Schiller. “ A Dutch infidel”—“ an un
principled interloper”— 1 “ a political adven
turer”—and all the names with which the
Radical tongue can grace its speech when
it gets excited. I have not yet heard the
Honorable Carl’s opinion of Drake; but if
he stops short of calling him a d —d fool, he
will do him great injustice.
But even Drake on Schurz is sweetened
rose water compared with Mort on noScliuy
ler, the new V. P., or Schuyler ou Morton.
They are both from Indiana, you know,
and each claims a minute acquaintance
with the other’s record. Nor is this all.
The Republican party of Indiana seems to
be divided into hostile armies under the
banner of Schuyler and Morton respective
ly. The Schuyler fellows have long been
indulging the liope that Morton would die,
but he has no notion of it. He is better to
day than he lias been for four years, and
likely to be entirely well very soon. Mean
time the war goes on. The Schuyler fel
lows spit nitric acid all over the Morton
faction, and the Morton faction returns the
compliment with a strong solution of ver
bal vitriol. I presume each to be correct in
what they say of each other, and conclude
from both that the Radicals of Indiana arc
a happy family indeed. The Blues and the
Bluffs iu Pickwick, or the Big Endians and
the Little Endians iu Gulliver, are the only
parallel in ancient and modem political
warfare for the Mortons and Schuylers of
Indiana.
Amen toad of it; and, in the language
of St. Paul, “ Let brotherly love continue.”
[From the New Orleans Picayune.
Plant Corn.
We feel that we must now reiterate the
advice given by General Jackson to his
soldiers, when •disbanding the volunteers
after one of his battles, telling them to go
home and “ plant corn !’’
Our people should be aware, from the
effect .of their course during the past year,
which, while giving them a good crop of
cotton, and better still, a good price for it,
gave them also provision for themselves,
their laborers and their animals, so that
they need spend none of their cotton money _
for this purpose, that it will not be wise for
thain to go crazy on cotton this year, and
let the cotton take care of itself.
Cotton is profitable, as are other things,
only~when it brings a price which pays for
the cost of cultivating it, and a liberal per
centage over it. Ttiere is this disadvantage
iu cotton, that while the provision crops
may be all used on the farm, in feeding
animals and fattening them for market,
cotton can only to a small extent, be made
useful or profitable without a saie, and that
as yet. we have no home factories which can
materially help a Lome vnavßet.
But cotton cannot be made to bring the
better price if it be the chief dependence of
those who raise it whereby to support their
families aud their dependents. It is said
that most of the cotton raised this year is
still in the country, or held up bv its pro
ducers or the country merchants, to whom
they have disposed of it for cash or its
equivalent.
It has been thus retained because the
planters have not been compelled to sell so
as to buy food. If they had not raised
corn and potatoes, and, in many regions,
wheat, rye, rice, oats aud root crops in
abundance, they would nave long since
been compelled to go into the market, pell
mell, with their cottou and take whatever
price might be offered them.
We can never hope to have full prices ac
corded to them when it is known that their
necessities require a speedy sale. Whether
there be a short crop or no, the planter will
always suffer when it is known that he is
compelled to sell. The buyers will always
be able to hold off long enough to compel
the planter to sell, if they be not able to do
so long enough to effect the speculator.
We renew the cry to “ plant, corn,” be
causejwe find from our exchanges in the in
terior that the planters are straining every
nerve to plant heavily of cotton and risk
ing, with a gambler’s' venturesomeiiess, the
highest rate of w-'ges possibly to be paid
with a large and high-priced crop, their
next year’s sales of cotton. This 'course is
ominous of a short supply of provisions,
and a uecessity to thrust upon the market
whatever amount of cotton they may make
as soon as it is ready for sale, to be sacri
ficed at whatever price may be offered.
We would therefore urge upon our plant
ers to be careful how they overcrop them
selves. and to be sure that they raise enough
of provisions to-be able, next season, as well
as this, to live within their means, and upon
their home-raised provision crops, independ
ently of the price of cotton or sugar. They
can then dispose of their staple crops when
ever the market suits them best, and all
that their cottou will bring will be securely
theirs.
We do not wish to now go into any de
scription of the advantages beyond this in
raising crops of provisions, and in raising
and feeding animals for use and sale, though
we regard this to be, in the long run, far
more profitable ancl wealth-securing than
the raising so precarious a crop as cotton ;
tint we point oik cotton planter solely to
the fact that if he is dependent upon his
cotton for his provisions, he will surely be
compelled to sell his cotton at a disadvan
tage.
We often see in country journals, in com
munications and in editorial paragraphs,
appeals to planters not to sacrifice their
cotton, but the indebted and provision buy
ing planter cannot hold up his cotton crop
without paying enormous interest upon
the time he gains, if he be able to get it,
and perhaps be compelled by the very con
tract he thus makes to sacrifice his crop at
the very worst period of the season.
It is only the man whose cotton has no
lien or mortgage upon it whatever, either
for labor or the food Os the man or mule
which made it, or is to make the next crop,
as well as for family expenses and the like,
who can claim and expect to get the best
price of the season for his crop.
Do not deceive yourselves, planters, by
supposing that because your good crop of
cotton this year, following years of scarcity,
gave you a large revenue, which you were
able to secure by awaiting your own time
t® sell, which your good crop of corn gave
to you, that next year you can be equally
sure of as good a price for your cotton un
less you this year also have a full supply of
corn and other provisions. Even then you
may overstock the market by two full
crops of cotton following one another. —
Until meat becomes a drug on our market,
and people cease to eat corn and wheaten
flour, you cannot have too full a crop of pro
visions.

An Irish Letter.
BY ALDERMAN DONNELLY.
Tullymucclescrag, •)
Parish of Bullraget, I
Near Ballyschlucthgntthery, J
In the County Kilkenny, in Ireland. J
My Dear Nephew : I hav’nt sent you a
letther since the last time I wrote to you,
bekase we moved from our former place of
living and I couldn’t tell where a letther
would find you ; but I now, with pleasure,
take up my pin to inform you of the death
of your own living uucle, Kiipathrick, who
died suddenly last week, afther a lin
gering iilness of six months.
The poor man was in violent convulsions
during the whole time of his sickness,
lying perfectly quate and spacheless all the
time talking incoliarently and calling for
wather.
I had no time to inform you of his death
sooner, except 1 had wrote to you by the
last post, which wint off tin days before lie
died and then you'd postage to pay.
1 am at a loss to tel! what his death was
occasioned by, bat I fear it was by his last
sickness; for he was nlver well tin days
thogether during the whole time of his con
finement, and I believe his death was occa
sioned by his ating too much of rabbits
stuffed with pase and gravy, or pase and
gravy stuffed with rabbits—l can't tell
which. But be that as it may be, as soon
as he breathed his last the docthers gave
over all hopes of his recovery. I can’t tell
you anything about his age, for you know
that in March nixt he would have been
just twinty-flve years ould, lackin’ tin
months, and had he lived till that time he
would have been just six months dead.
His property now revolves to his nixt of
kin, who ail died some time ago ; so that I
expect it will be divided between us ; and
you know his property was something very
oonsithrable, for he had a fine estate that
was sowld to pay his debts, and the re
mainther he lost in a horse race. Bat it
was the opinion of everybody at the time
that he would have won the race if the
Iforse he run against hadn’t been too fast
for him.
I niver saw a man, and the docthers all
say so, that obsarved directions or took
medicine betther than he did. He said lie
would as lave take bitther alloways as
sugar candy, if it only had the same taste ;
and ippecackufianna as whisky punch, if it
would only put him in the same humor for
lighting.
But poor soul ! lie’ll never ate or dhrink
more—and you havn’t a living relation in
the wide world, barring myself aud your
two cousins who were knilt in the last war?
I can’t dwell on this mournful subject,
and I shall sale my letther with black sail
ing wax, and put on it your uncle’s coat of
arms, so I beg you not to brake the sale
whin you open this letther, and don’t open
it till three or four days afther you receive
it, by which time you will be prepared for
the sorrowful tidings.
Your sweetheart, Judy McGee, sindsyou
her love unkuownst to me.
When Pat Finnegan arrives in Ameriky
ax him for this letther, and if he doesn’t
know it from the rest, tell him it’s the one
that spakes about your uncle’s death and
saled in black. I vemaiu your affectionate
old grandmother,
Judy O’Hooligan.
To Mister Larry O’Hooligan, lately of the
town of Tullymucclescrag, in the Parish
of Bullyraget, near Ballyschlughgutthery,
in the county of Kilkenny, in Ireland,
now in Americy, forninst the pump.
N. B —Don’t write to me again till you
recave this.
P. B.—When you come to this place stop,
and don’t*read any more till my next.
SrfiERTAN Dogs. —There may often be
seen of late, in the streets of New York,
dogs of huge size, some times white and
black, but oftener of a mouse color or yel
low tan. These are Siberian bloodhounds,
the original stock of which, we believe,
was brought from the Ural Mountains,
where they are employed for hunting
wolves and other fierce beasts of the chase.
In the city, of course, they are kept merely
as curiosities, and are not half so useful as
a smart Scotch terrier, who will kill rats
in the cellar and give warning should any
strange footstep come prowling about the
house in the night. Jtonow useful kind of
Sibari vn ricwf thanflJßknaiestic one refer
red to is the breed iriHWi prized by the Sa
rnoyedes, Tungusians, and other Northern
tribes, as beasts of burthen. Those of
Kamtschatka are said to be the best tribe.
Four of these animals, yoked to a sledge,
wilt easily draw a man with 200 pounds of
’baggage, and will run from thirty to sixty
miles a day, according to the condition of
the snow and the character of country tra
versed by them. During the Winter these
dogs are fed upon dry fish. In Summer
they are expected to provide for themselves,
and the facility with which they catch fish
is very remarkable. They remain out of
doors throughout the fine season, living
like otters or seals, but as sbon as the hard
weather sets in they leave the shore aud
betake the uselves to the huts of their re
spec (nve owners. These dogs are endowed
with au instinct for locality so wonderful
that their masters, when driving them,
leave the selection of route entirely to their
judgment. When a heavy storm obliges
the team to stop, they crouch iu the snow,
close to their master, so as to keep him
warm. In return for. all this, when one of
these dogs is old and is past work, the un
bergh-like iceberger that owns him kills
him 'for his skin, out of which he makes
clothes for his own less-worthy carcass.

Uuder the title of “ Telegraphs in Russia,”
the Odessa Journal says :
“The first telegraphic lines were established
in Russia in 1853, and ran from St. Petersburg
to Moscow, Crnnstadt, Warsaw and Kcennigs
berg. With the establishment of the last, for
which a convention was signed with Prussia,
began the international correspondence with the
oilier Slates of Europe. Since that time the
net work has united the most important towns
of Russia to each other. In 1865 we had 81,450
verts (five-eights of a mile each) of telegraphic
lines, with 323 .Rations. In that year 1,647,375
telegrams were sent. Among the lines which
arc not yet terminated is that which is to go to
America through Siberia, and which cannot be
ended before 1870. In the year 1865 a tele
graphic communication was established with
Persia, and this is now continued to India. A
telegraphic station is established at Pekin, and
is beginning to overcome the aversion felt by
the Chinese Government for the telegraph."

John Ai'ama was remarkable as an early

It was common with him to rise at 3 or 4
o’clock in the morning, and read, smoke, and
drink cider for one or two hours before the
rest of the family was stirring. When he went
out to dine he was never at ease unless he had
with him his own pewter plate to eat from. It
was his invariable custom to take the latter ar

OB
CHILLS AND FEVER
r I HE proprietor of this celebrated medicine just
ly claims for it a superiority over all ever offered to
the public for the safe, certain, speedy and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refers to the entire
Western and Southwestern country to heat him testi
mony to the truth of the assertion that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions arc
strictly followed and carried out In a great many
cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle,
with a perfect restoration of the general health. It
is, however, piudent, and in every case more certain
to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a
week or two aft( r the disease has been checked, more
especially in difficult and long standing cases
Usually, thin medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order ; should the patient,
however, require a cathartic medicine after having
taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose
of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will
be sufficient.

TO MY UNITED STATES AND WOULD
WIDE READERS.
I have received many testimonials f om profession
al and medical men, as my almanacs and various pub
lications have shown, all of which are genuine. The
following from a highly educated and popular physi
cian in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sensible
communications I have every received. Dr. Ci-kmkst
knows exactly what he speaks of, nnd his testimony
deserves to be written in let’ers of gold. Hear what
the Doctor says of BULL’S WORM DESTROYER .
Vili-anow, Wai.kkr Oountv, G* , ?
June 29th, 1860. S
Da. John Bull—Dear Sir : I have recently given
your “ Worm Destroyer ” several trials, and find it
wonderfully efficacious. It lias not failed in a Bingle
instance to have the wished-for efiect. I am doing a
pretty large country practice, and have daily use for
some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by the ablest au
thors that is so certain and speedy in ils effects ■ On
the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My
object in writing you is to find out upon what terms
I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can
get it upon easy terms, 1 shall use a great deal of it.—
I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to
the teachings and practice of a great n ajority of the
regular line of M. D ’a, but I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be
efficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its
comb nation. For my part, I shall make it a rule to
use all andanv means to alleviate suffering human
ity which I may be able to command—not hesi
tating because some ore more,ingenious than my tel f
may have learned ils effects first, and secured the sole
right to secure that knowledge. However, I am by
'no means ah advocate or supporter ot the thousands
of worthless nostrums thal flood the corgi try, that
purport to cure all manner of disease to which hu
man flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me
of your best terms.
I am, sir, most respectfully,

of yoov Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment of my case :
I was wounded about, two years ago—was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being
moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I
have not sat up a moment since I was wounded. I
am shot through the Ups. My general health la im

more faith iu your Sarsaparilla than in anything else.
I wish that which is genuine. Please express me

P. 8 —The following was written April 30,1865, by
Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Captain Johnson :
Dr. John Bull— Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. 8.
Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Cen
tral New York, where he died, leaving the above C.
P. Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he
had a chronic diarhea and scrofnla, for which I gave
him your Sarsaparilla. It cured him. I have for ten
years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio,
and lowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general de
bility. l’erfect success has attended it. The cure*
effected in some cases of scrofula and fever sores were
almost miraculous. lam very anxious for my son to
again have reeourse to your Sarsaparilla. He Is fear
ful of getting a spurious article, hence his writing to
you for it.- His wounds were terrible, but I believe
he will recover.

HP
UTS GUANO differs from Peruvian Guano
simply in the relative proportions ot tl e same element
of fertility.
Its use during the past four years, for the culture of
Cotton and Corn, has given to it a character for stand
ar 1 excellence unsurpassed by Peruvian Guano, and
when seasons of drought intervene_jt produce* a larger
increase of crops. The price this Guano is
placed is so much below that of Peruvian Guano as
to constitute it an object of material importance to
Southern agriculture.
The Company looks to “ large sales,” small “ prof
its” and a permanent trade for compensation on capi
tal invested.
The large capital and resources of the Company en
ables it to furnish* a Guano of the bighorn value, at
the lowest possible cost to consumer*, and the highest
interest of the Company ir recognised in thispolicy.
Dr. St. Julias Ravenel, of Charleston, 8. C., is
