The Byron Controversy.
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

the preachot", "wo find all this wit

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'

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

wound. Theo wound was a fearful one,
andl the wad penetrated so far that the

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

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

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

of the busiest and most s peculntive aid

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

,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

itself; with loss and less conceal

A New Field For Woman.
Mrs. Dr. Mary Walkor's exam

boon utterly lost upon her sex.
Females are not without. groat
ambition for professional distinc

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

Time adoption of the legal pro

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

made Justices of the Peace. Hand

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

crowning victory of the sex will
have been achieved when an ex

I want to say sumthing.
I want to say sumthing in ro",
foronco to milk az a fertilizer.
There are various kinds of milk.
Thero iz sweet milk, sour , milk,
skim milk, buttor milk cow milk,
and the milk of human kindnea:
but the tuostest best milk iz the
milk that hazzont the most water
in it. Butter milk izzont the best
for butter.
Milk is spontaneous, ant h.as
done more tooncourago thogrowtit
of human folks than onny othor
likwid.
Milk is lacteal l It I: also a4uatie,,

Milk iz mosterious. Cokcorun
milk has never boon solved yet.
Milk iz also another name for
human kindness.
Milk and broad iz. a pleasant
iixtur.
Sometimes if milk is aloud -to'
stand too long, a scum rises to the
surface, which iz apt to scard folks
that live in cities, but it duzsont
foller that tho milk is nasty. Thi$
scum is called krono by fokes
who inhabit the country.
Krome is the 'parent ov butter,
and butter iz 70 cents a piound,
'ho most koinmon millc in use,
without doubt, iz skim mill ; skim
milk is made by skimming the
milk, which is oonsidorod sharp
practias.
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.
I forgot to state, in conclusion,
that cow milk, if well-watered,
brings ton cents per quart.
