:.....j, .nrl anhinctinir the nolice to
great difficultv and so many delicate and
troubleiome 'duties, . that thpy arrested
her as the Teal canse of. the obstruction
of the highway. Mrs. Dr.. Walker ap
pears to be perfectly respectable, and she
exerted ber talents as a physician in the
army during -the lal rebellion. She
talks volubly,' must ' be rather fond of
notoriety,, but i very eeasible.f indeed
quite strong-minded and ean be indig
nant But there is nothing light or dis
reputable about, the cnee in any wny,
and as a.ttiaUer of conscientious duty
and right, she claims to dress in a sack
coat and pants; and thathe Bhall not be
molested for so doing in any way, either
by the- crmrd, the polieeman, or the mag
istrate. Has she a right to make this
claim ? It is true her dreBS is not so
strictly masculine as absolutely to con
ceal her sex. The white turnover collar
fastened on the throat was such as a lady
might have worn. In fact, the dress was
a sort of hermaphrodite affair, making it
not at all dilficult for the spectators to
feel quite certain that it was a woman
before them, a woman who was not try
ing to conceal her sex, but simply one
who claimed the right to don male attire
to any extent she chose. . , .
The magistrate seems to have thought
so too, for after a thorough investigation
he allowed her to go, and without repri
manding the polici-man for the past, ap
peared rather to warn him in future to
leave Mrs. Dr. Walker free from moles
tation, and to dress as she may choose.
The point discussed appears to be
whether woman hat the right to dress
in man's apparel if she appears to mean
no barm to any body, and the magistrate
seems to have decided it in her favor,
throwing the hnrden of proving evil on
the accuser. There is a passage in the
laws of Moses on this suhject, which may
at least be brought forward as showing
that from tha earliest stages of civiliza
tion to the present time a different view
has prevailed : "The woman shall not
wear that which pertaineth unto a man,
neither shall a man put on a woman s
garment, for all that do so are an abom
ination unto the Lord thy God." The
public generally think as the policeman
did, that for a woman to walk the streets
dressed in male attire, is an offense
against public manners and morals, now.
Not that the laws of Moses are in any
way binding necessarily upon us, but
because they are among the most gener
ally recognized expressions of public
morality extant, having formed the basis
of our institutions as modified by Chris
tianity, and thns indicate to ns that
great, law of social usages which is es-
n Imman woll.rP the irrei-t
.code of natural and nniversal morality.

not mean any barm, every sensible wo
man will see that any dress which can
draw together obstructing crowds, is
onbeceming to female. All that tonds
to confound the sexes must be favorable
to Immorality, und society has and must
have the power to protect itself from un
seemly conduct, ybere it becomes inju

shows that it leads to mnch lhat is evil.
Ladies may change their fashions as
they please in other respects, but all that
tends to confound the apparel of men
and women, must be foolish and wrong.

poisoning ot her mind, nas nnani, suc
ceeded in effecting br ruin, so that,
child in years, she is almost a momr,
and irretrievably ruined, a recruit for

the evils which attend the mixing of pol

And still another case. M. M. Dodd,
a blatant Republican, and Chairman of
the Republican County Central Commit
tee, has been arrested on a charge of
ruining a young girl living in his family.
In Dodd's case some of the more repul
sive features which characterize that of
Tucker, are wanting. , His victim was a
girl of more mature years, and was not
bis sister-in-law. " '
A curious fact is mentioned in relation
to the birth of Dodd's illegitimate child.
Dodd is a vain, pompous fellow, very
much addicted to the wearing of yellow
buckskin gauntlets. Dodd was rather
disposed to deny the parentage of the
child, but it is said that a freak of. nature
has effectually debarred repudiation of
the infant We have it, from Republi
cans who profess to have seen the phe

very fair representation of. gauntlet I , ,

' A loads BalL . A i
A London ball differs in.some respects
from one in New York. Young ladies
cannot go without an elder lady, or a
male member of the family; and after
each dance the girl is brought up end
delivered to her mamma orchaperone.
Ladies cannot go to the refreshment
room without the escort of a gentleman.
On arrival, about 1 1 o'clock, you go to
the tea-room for a cup of tea or coffVe;
there will be nothing on the Inhle to sat
isfy Imager in the least, though abun
dance for show. During the evening ice
cream is served in teaspoonfuls to ladies
who are fortunate enough to get a male
escort, and trifling knick-knacks as be
fore, fit to be admired, but not ea-en, fill
up the table. The ice-cream is always
provided and served by a confectioner,
who contracts to serve ices for a speci
fied number of guests; consequently it is
bis interest to deal it out in as small por
tions as possible, and as no lady likes to
ask for more, a traspoonful is usually
her allowance. The supper is served
about one, and is always cold. There will
be cold chicken and bam and tongue,
lobster salad and pates, game birds with
plumage on, raised game pies, ornamen
tal cakes, for show merely ; poor allow
ance of fruit, and champagne and other
wines. Oysters are never served cooked,
nor is there any ice-cream. Altogether,
Ik enUtrttunment would be laughed at
by a hungry New Yorker, though the ta
bles are made prettv with flowers and
wax candles. Gas light is thought under
bred, aud so is a young lady's ever walk
ing alone in the street, even in the day
time. Young girls are kept in sucU tight
leading strings they are glad to bo mar
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION'.
ried..- It is amusing to bear the English
talk of "Americans attacking ana de
molishing a supp"er." The viands here
do not blunt the edge of appetite. What
is the delicate wing of a small cold
chicken to people who have danced
nearly all night? . .
The Last Eruption of Mount Etna.
M. Fouque, who visited Sicily at the
time of the last eruption of Mt Etna, has
published an interesting paper on the
subjeot in the Rtvut Colemporaine. He
jays: 1 - -
During oar journey around Sicily the
appearance of eruption has considerably
modified. The lava, which seemed nearly
stormed at the moment of our departure,
had suddenly acquired uew intensity
about the middle ot Juarcn. in me
course of two days an enormous stream
of lava had traversed the interval com
nriaerl hetween the Due Monti and Mt.
k: . . . .. . j .c
Urisirno, and tnen passing westward oi
that eminence, bad dashed into a deep
ravine in the direction of Lingua-Orossa.
lf it continued so for a few hours longer
the fiery torrent would have naturally
trot into the midst of vineyards and
bouses by merely following the slope of
the soil, terror was at us hirui amuns
the ceonle threatened with the catas-
trophy. They, being grossly ignorant
and superstitious, imagined that St. Igna
tu, the patron of Piedmonte, had turned
the Bcourge opon Lingua-Grossa in
order to save the commune of which he
was the protector. The measure of ex
pelling his image from the chapel Delia
Vena was being seriously aiscussea.
Had it been carried out it would inevit
ably have led to a bloody collision be
tween the inhabitants of these two places ;
but, fortunately, the fiery torrent sud
denly stopped.
Other streams - were subsequently
formed higher up, and during our second
atav at Mount Etna the lava invaded the
whole space that had hitherto been spared
between Mount Fmmento and Due
Monti, leaving only here and there a few
hillocks still covered with vegetation,
like islands ia a waste. The eruption! of
lava,' either in a solid or liquid form,

A Boarding-house Story.
The New Orleans correspondent of
the Franklin Banner is responsible for
the following:
An amusing incident occurred at one
of our large and fashionable boarding
houses a few days ago which has caused
not a little blushing and scandal in I but
resnpctable establishment A Cuban
Don, whose numerous trunks nnd gene
ral appearance indicated wealth, not a
great while since arrived with bis lady at
the above establishment, and engaged
the principal suit of rooms. The lady was
pretty and lively, the mantiera of both
were pleasing, and they become the gen
eral favorites of the house. A soirre was
given one eveaing in their honor, and
their ignorance of American usages, their
bizarre style of dressing, and their unre
served manners contributed not a little
to the pleasure of all. But the funny part
remains to be told. In the mid.-t of the
general hilarity the guests were startled
by the appearance of a Jesuit priest
The ' polite hoitess received bins 'gra
ciously, but thought he hud mnde a mis
take. . ,
But no he said he hnd been invited to
perform a marriage ceremony which was
to take place in that house. Now she
was certain he was mistaken, and there
was a slight titter in the fashionable as
sembly at the expense of the good father.
But at this moment the Cuban Don came
forward with bis lady leaning apon his
arm, and with a charming nairrtte of
manner, and in the most amusing broken
English, begged to explain that he was
the party referred to ; that he had become
so enamored of the many good qualities
of the lady leaning upon his arm that he
had determined to be generous, and offer
her his name, and that he would feel
obliged if the gentlemen and ladies pres
ent would act as the attendants. At this
unexpected explanation and suggestion
there was a very considerable mice re
vealed, and the maids and gnrrnns
d'honeur were not forthcoming. The
happy couple received notice to quit next

His Fiddle Cait. '
The old citizens of Jackson who re
mained here during the war will notice
the letter published below from Mr. Wis
dom, of Athens, Ala., and govern them
selves accordingly. It seems Mr. W.
was once on a time "sogerin" in this
city and deposited with a friend a fiddle
ease which he desires should be returned.
From his letter, which we publish verba
tim, below, the fiddle case saw service at
Port Hudson and various other places,
and he wishes to preserve this compan
ion of his dangers as a memento of the
past By all means let Mr. Wisdom, of
Athens, have his fiddle case. It will af
ford us pleasure to communicate to him
any information left at this office Clar
