Gradation* it?
The "Hound Tabb*" t!'l? week, has an ad
mirable amd* on if** subject of mourciug
babtlitnen?s, especially tfiosi* bv whi.-h lady
mourners express the different decrees of their
sorrow,?and of which means of proclaizniug
oors onr sex are deprived. The writer says,
Ln a fine vein of bitter irony:?
?? We men have no such opportunity to ex
press sense ofonr bereavement in .'inelaborate
way. Our tailors uniform us ln funereal black,
onr ckepeliers encircle our nata with crape, and
Itsere a>. eud. A widower cannot advertise the
freshnt* s or staleuess of his sad condition by
his clothes. It is impossible to jud^ of the
state of his feelings from his hue. In Jact the
las'*- ui mankind iu this country runs so gener
ally to black that it is only now and then that
affliction finds one of us in motley. In nine
<a*es out of tea, all we require to put us in
fnli mourning Is a weed round the beaver.
0.nDot this be remedied! Why should there
not b" sorrow stores for the stupider sex ! Is
there any just reason why lonely rren should
not be put through a course of French grays
and puces and lavenders as well as women T
Ilo not onr griefs become flue by degrees and
beautifully less In the earn - way as those of the
queers of creation ? Certainly they do. Then
?-t the progress of the sequence be made mani
fest in our coats and vests and pantaloons.
I^et us htive the gradations of fading melan
choly denoted by our hat cinctur?s, so that
the public, and more particular the angelic
portion of it, may understand how we are
gKttiug alone with our tribulations. How can
the fair creatures know, under present cir
cumstances, whether an unfortunate widower
bus just been plunged into inconsolability, or
1.v emerging from it. in a lively and approach
able frame of mind * Who can ?av how many,
many male mourners of nearly ayear's stand
ex mny have missed eligible ofTers this blessed
leap ye^r, on account of the forbidding char
acter of their sable snits and love-repulsing
bat bHida? We submit to society the propriety
of a sliding-scale of funereal habiliments for
meu. Nothing can succeed in this world with
out advertising, net even grief. Who will
take a store on Broadway and open a dry

An * ttnnpt Agninst Atlanta.
[From the Kaleixh Progress.j
The Iialton correspondent ol the Atlanta
Register avers that the programme of the Abo
lition Government of the pending spring cam
paign has been fixed beyond doubt, and, ac
cording to all indications, will oj-en with a
grand demonstration in an attempt against
Atlanta. The movement of troons on the part
of ihe enemy, and all his preparations, point
plainly in that direction. It is known that
the concentration of the enemy's forces in the
direction of Chattanooga it greater than on the
Potomac, and there is more activity there than
at the latter point.
The foregoing is exactly in accordance with
onr vte-we, expreFsed in this paper a few days
apo. Whatever appearance of attack upon
Lee, or on North Carolina, the enemy may keep
up. we canno' rid of the impression or pre
sentiment that "On to Atlanta" is now his
watchword. We know our opinion in such
matter is worth but little, nor won'.d weobtrude
it en any one presumptuously, but still eur
cpinion if. tbat while the "On to Richmond" is
but a feint, the "On to Atlanta" is a reality.
