From a late lI4nglish paper we copy the following, which doubt. loss will prove interesting to our roadors: The Rev. G. 0. )unhar, in a ser mon dolivored at All Saints, Lam both, yesterday morning, alluded to the pll-absorbing topic of the Byron controversy. He said that there was a strange movement at the prosdnt day to which the press had directed much attention. It was c4nendod, he said, there was -no honost calling of a man. which a woman; was. not wholly free to follpw--no'political rights- -whioh a man po.ssssod..to vhieh a woman ny1ebj'ot equanlly lay claim. Tho n'i5onont suited wvell-'the repub. licanm, pirit, f the times, .which was all for change, breaking d.owglno16ns, loling in c qualities,"'and" removig riestric tions, but which. In its haste did not sto) to inquire whether thov' Sb:It46 tod the s pirit. of God. What would woman be W~li'ninado the ejni of' man in the'"knowledge of' sin and evil ? Alaisl he feared they could already see; foi,oon whbrtover other points she might be capable of being the eqa f mnan, she hand showni that o id ot60s in theO matter It:s is. a. amo~n oven -to speak of those 'things' wvhich are (lone by . .Nht what' n'ero tho nO wspap)ers spbaking of. now ? Why, thby n'oro full, of' nothing else. Arnd whii did it all spring from ? The fagitit awoman had lost that nick ~ndgentle spirit whichm was intthe sight'.foGod of gt-cat price, Qg1d le.vin g her vocation, had pub up 4subjct the mast dis - usti ng, andbon: the cause of the mnosgorvoltinig.' ideas, the: most ohndxioma thoughts, 'and at ost as) ftsl ig Ma ount of1knowledge 97 i?e u hg' set. c?'16 "foi'o the .m: uds of the pulc evoni boys and OrdIMWll as men and womo n. o iogh to drowni the youth ft:lsul Thme knowledge of sin would begot farther k(nowleclgo.

"Thou shalt not bear. false witness, or true vitnoes either, against thy tlighbor, if it be such as: thou would'st not wish to be borne agninet tbiself." "Thou shalt do unto all men as thou would'st they should do unto thee." "Yet," said the preachot", "wo find all this wit ness borne against tire dead, and Ill theso ideas of evil"lacod before the living.. Why.? For the sake of a notoriety as great as that of Judas Iscariot, or for the thirty pieces of silver offered by a maga zino editor I Scarcely to carry out the wishes of the dead. Was it -not the care of a lifbtime to bury that seciot, supposing it had over existed ? Lot the dead bury their doad. Surely this is a robbery from the tomb. No man could have committed it, for the want of manliness would have condemned him. No woman of a meok and quiet spirit could have committed it either. But are not the editors of such magazines to be sevoroly censured ? I see a newspaper ox cu6ing*the one responsible. for the matter having beei made 'public in the magazine edited by him on tlo grd'id that he knew that if he did not iublish it somebody else would. But is this any. excuse ? As .woll might he be justified for robbing his neighbor, because he believed that if ho did not rob'hini somebody else, would. if editors and managers of plaoes 'of public anpseient ' are not responsible, who is? Tlhey have great . power placed in their hands, and they are responsible to God how they usO it. ,Of this they will be persuaded hervafter, if they cannot, be per sunded 'now. . But we trace the evil further. The )?ilIic;, they say, has an tuwholesom6 palato, and will accept of no loss highly seaNoned a dish. Surely there is enough evil around us on all hands, We need not, as rcsurrectionists of crime, grub igp the sin of a by gono generation. One of England's geeittest pdOet.u mfiany of u1 sin, but we believe him to have had much that was noble, in the words of his wife, 'much of the angel in him.' Supposing it were not so. Supposing we are under a delusion. It is a bountiful do lusion, and we do not wish to have it destroyed. Rather lot us follow the Christian virtues. Lot us 'judge not,' but let us 'hope all things.'" WHAT ALASKA Is WoItTI.-Gen. Thomas has been to Alaska, and what does he find that we have for our seVen millions and more of sterling coili ? leo and .snow, of course, and a few abandoned coal IYines, the care of a few huindreds or thousands of degraded Aleut and ITolosho Indians, mostof whom seem to have no control over their passion for strong drink, and sev eral millions of soals which, to . be worth any thing, must be protected by a garrison of from two to three h.ndred men with a revenue steamer, at a cost that wvill proba bly far exceed all the revenue that will be derived frQm them. As to over settling the country, Gen. Tbomas, looking at it with the business eye of a soldier, thinks tha tobeentirely out of the quos tion-for the present, at least. The -wcll sto ced gardens and tropical v-erduro of which we have heard so much dwindle into a few rad ishes, potatoos and lettuce, with. baraley, oats and wheat that will not ripen. Per'hap)s some one would like to take the elephant oft' our hanuds-wo might be induced to sell. lHosc IIE-On rIday laat,at the plan tation of Mr. L. B. Stephenson, about eleven mniles North of Camden, a colored womilan, Hetty Meltae by name, was shot by Moses~ Stevens, also colored, and died on Sunday morning from the effects of the wound. A jury of inquest was sum moned0( and found that the killing was ac cidental ; that there was no shot in the gu, but that the wad inflicted the fatal wound. Theo wound was a fearful one, andl the wad penetrated so far that the woman.vonmited it before her death. [Oamden Journal.

Judgin'g y the prepatlons ide for it, th ball season, which. will succeed the holidays, will.be unusally brilliant. The toilettes already comitpleted surpass in richness, variety And umqueness those of -sny season within the memory of society. Satins of the shiniest surfaces atid the richest glow are the distinguish ing teaturo. Peacock-colorcd satin, with train cut Is points around the bottom, each point embroider'ed in a perfect semblance to a peacock'a-tail feather, is a dressJust com pleted for au elderly lady. Th'le lady's married daughter will appear during the winter in sevoral,. floral costumes, the dresses always short, as is deemed ap. propriate for dancing. One of those cos tittos is called "The Blush Roso," and is a sticcelsitn of short satin roso-colored skirts falling ovdi' each other like the petals of the ,flower after which it is namod. Another is the Eglantino Or yellow sweet-briar roso-the potals few. No underskirts are to be worn with this, as :the "slimpsy" look is very much sought after. Gonorally, erape or tulle or some kind of transparent tissuo is worn over the satin, and softens its brilliancy and given. it richness too by giving it depth. It is imperativo that this gauze be of the sane color, and shado of the satin beneath it. Sometimes it is put on puff&d, or in- the form of flounces, the satin showing between them, but oftenor by way of a long tunic which is variously draped by always forming a bunch at at the back by way of pannier. Another style of drosses are quite different : tbese are called "Ori-itals." 'The material is dark velvet, they are heavy with emt broidery in various high=colored silks, bullion, and braids of different widths. These are the richest and uost expensive looking, especially when lit up by (he light of many gas jots. For fancy balls, Orintal costumes will be particularly effeetive. The forin of making will be a 1'urhish jacket and skirt, with a white silk shirt, also embr oidered, but in silk only, showing at the waist a scarlet silk sish embroidered and fringed at the ends, high rhroidered body, and embroidered cap with tnssel. "And wherl; are we get all this em broidery done, and who's to do it?' asks some it ninitilttel lady who nassociates em broidery only with the "patient labor of the East." We would answer, that one of the busiest and most s peculntive aid prosperous industries of this city, is em broidery. We saV Imp",,et1-a, boau,, sbey cnarge so high for it, since the I;rnpress' visit to Egypt has made it un tishionable. But ladies who have in their families a Grover and Baker Ma. chine, not only make but richly ombroid er these effective costumes at the cost merely of material. Black bonnets are no longer worn so much as fortnerly-the bonnet must be to match the dress--neither are white bnnnets any longer worn, even for opera, by those who follow fushion faithfully. The evening bonnet must be of satin velvet and flowers-pink, blue, lavender, Nile green-any color except white or black, The street bonnet is, porhaps, larger than It was last year, and is of tenest seen in prune-color, a deep red called lucifer, a new and wonderful dark blue, a new green called apricot, and a plum color. It it always trimmed with feathers of the same shade, always has two or more materials entering into its composition, and often a vaii of the some color. JAPONICA. Tho celebl'ttion of High Mass on Advent Sunday, in St. Peters, at Rome, gives an opportunity for a descriptivo letter in the London Timies. Forests of candles in the church, ladies in full dress black, Swiss guards, p)riests, monks and bishops froem the four quarters of the - lobe, patriarchal, boarded addignified cardinals, and lastly, theo lcl F?athor hims~elf, make up the animated part of, tbo scoe. Pius IX is pictured as pale and aged, but walking steadily and looking determinedly. Military and sacred musiC blended together. A shrill-toned monk delivered tihe ser-mon, andI the service ever, lighted candles, four feet long, were placed before all the bishops, and with the Pope and car-dinals they passed inl procession out of the edifice. The varieties of cha raer and costume, tihe scarlet and goatskin. the commingling of tourists, worshippers, dignitaries and p)easants, thoe streets alive with priests and monks, the whirl of audy equipagos, are the delight of this scribbler; and he reels off a full column of word-painting with all the estacey of a ponnyI.a liner in a field of literary clover. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore American says: "The Presi. dent, in conversation with sovoral South ern gentlemen, who called upon him on the 25th concerning the Associate Judge ship In place of Judge WVayno indicated a willingness to soicot a Southern man in cuoi ho could find one qualIfIed for- the positioni.

Young Wonfan Boware. ,Under the heading of "The Per ils of Fashion," the editor of the London Lancet supplomcnts his denuncations of tight lacing with the fblldwing hard bits at high heels The custoin of wearing high boots and those tbd so iuch stiatl" or than the actual heel of the wearer as to afford no solid sup port, but only a balancing point., is a source of much mischief. In the first place, it throws the cen tre of gravity of thn body so far forward, that a free and graceful. ly erect carriage Is impossible. Secondly, there being no firm sup port to the hool, ladies are very apt to twist the ankle suddenly by overbalancing themnsolves; and this is not only bad in itself, but the fear of its occuroneo makes them assumo a timid, mincing gait. And, thirdly, the effect of driving the foot constantly for ward into the toe of the loot is to piroduco a very ugly and painful distortion of the great toe joint. Thero is little need for wondor at the almost fierce contempt with which you-ng men whose oharac tors are at all above the lowest grades of' conventional inanity re gard the average "girl of the pe riod." It can not be denied that there is a significatit corresp6n dence between the mesthetic hid eousness and the degrading effects on the physical health which are produced by tight stays and crip pling boots, and a certain mental and moral tone in femtalo society of the present day which is no less surprising than it isrepulsivo. The whole dress and' carriage of our fashionule womon, for sovo ral years past has boon modelling itself; with loss and less conceal ment, upon the ideal furnished by Parisian loretles of the consump tive Traviata type. It is not our businoss to set up as moral cen sors.

Understood Her Case. At a rovival excitment in Con necticcut a respectable old lady was struck with conviction and became a convert, and was pro posed for membership of the church. There was a motinig hold fbt' the examination of the candidates, of whom 'there wore several in attendance. ."Well my dear sister Rogers," said the ex amin er, addressing our vonerab)le friend, "please relate your expe.. rience." The old lady, on thus being addressed,. lifted 'up her voice. "Well," said she, "I don't know what to say,(so 1 told nmy busbaund, Mr, Rogers, before I came here; but I believe that I have expe rienced a change, as I told my husband, Mr. Rogers, after I came froem meeting.

A New Field For Woman. Mrs. Dr. Mary Walkor's exam ple, it her effot't to tnastoii the ie cult mtystorios of medicine, has boon utterly lost upon her sex. Females are not without. groat ambition for professional distinc tion, but they wisely seek promi nenco in a role for which nature has certainly qualified thom. As a talkor woman has always boen adjudged a success. Crusty old bacholoi's, with whom conver sation, as carriod on by politopoo plo, and not occupiod in selfish complaints, is really'a "lost art," onot appreciate the brilliant col loquial talent of woman. With a sublime contempt for the opinions of those who doery woman's spo cial gift, tho use of her tongue, which is equally ho' gi'eatost at traction, when she seeks td be agreeable, and her ample defence when assailed, the advanced fo males of our day are slininr lights upon the rostrum and at tilo lec turer's desk, and a. few have seized the editorial tripod. With the courago which is ahways born of success, they now claim t placo in the forum, and ore long doubt less we shlttl have femialc aspirants fot' tub lonors of the judicial or mine. \. Two you't ladies have lately entered the 5 Louis Law School as students, of of them hailing from St. Louis, and the other from Brooklyn, an unimportant village opposite New York. ThoRo aro only the fororumn'ers of nunflorouts other aspirants for forensic and judicial honors. It is is easy to forosoo that female counsellors and barristors will have amplo and remunerative employment. For what male advocate could possibly hop to make headway against the ingenuity, tact, the captivating coquetry and winning eloquence of a em 10alc advocato? III such a caso the interests of justice would demand that the eircutnstances be equalized by 1ntvug til, ta i A W A,I.rUmilc jtll'Or . Otherwiso time cause of the man would be hopeless, Time adoption of the legal pro fossion by woman opens an almost boundless field for that "adequate and elevated coployment of ou' sex," for which the redoubtable Miss A nthony and tho invinciblo Miss Dickinson so loudly clamor. Superannuated spinsters, and mai dens anxious to retiro upon the hard-earned laurls of forty sumn mers can be provided for by being made Justices of the Peace. Hand som young ladies of the legal tlge will make admirable prosecu ting attorneys1 especially where members of' their own sex are the tI'llnsgressors, though hardly com potent as prosocutors in cases where h a n d s o m o marriagoble young m11en1 are arraigned. The crowning victory of the sex will have been achieved when an ex perienced fbminino lawyer shall take her place upon the bench of the Supreme Court. [(imnington Star.

Milk is obtained from cows, hogs, woodchux, rats, shoep, squirrils, and all other annim-ls that have hair. Snaix and geoso' don't give milk.
