Miss Mary Hamilton Laight, a beau tiful young lady of rank, vvhoe history would furnish material for a roinauee aud own cousin to the Earl of Lans downe, died recently in the Presbyte rian Hospital at New York, among strangers.

A man who belonged lo a village ritlo team was recently out on the plains of Wyoming Territory looking for game. Finally tho party sighted an elk at SOU yards and prepared to shoot him.

Acw York Jkntld. 1831. NEW Tlie Reginniiip; of the tend. The beginning of diseaso is slight de bility or disorder of some of tho vital or gans, the stomach, the liver or the bowels usually. There dyspeptic symptoms, tlio liver is troublesome, the skin grows tawney and unhealthy looking, there are pains in the right side or through tho right shoulder blade. The climax is often tin utter pros tration of the physical energies, perhaps a fatal issue. Hut if tl)U difficulty is met in time with Hohtetter's Stomach Hitters, which is always effective as a remedy, should he resorted to at an early stage, there will he no reason to apprehend those injurious subsequent effects upon the system ofieii entailed by entirely cured diseases. Far better is it also, to employ this safe retneilical agent in fever aud ague, and otiier malarial complaints, than' quinine and other potent drugs, which, even when they do prove etl'ectual for a time, ruin the stomach and impair the general health. The English diirl's Figure. George Allied Townsend in writing breezy lotiors from the English wa tering places, gives us his viewsof tho female form divine that ho has seen in the surf on the other .side : Tho Englishmen are often lino swimmers, and there seems to he no treacherous current here, bearing the swimmer off to sea, and couscqueiill v the nudi! bodies of young Unions ar'o feeii half a mile out in thu water. The women do not swim as much us ours. EnglNi women bathe iu llai nel, generally blue, with no sleeves, the arms, which aro the best limbs they have to show, being exposed to the arm-pit. The sun does not scorch those fine, muscular arms, bin mervly puts a little haze or fog upon them lo tempt their roses out. They all wear bathing shoes, or rather slippers, which do not bide the ankles, as the pebbles here an I strong surf would lacerate the bare feet. They wear stockings in but few cases, and, I think, wear corsets in the water but little. The bathing dress is made. looseish, particularly below the mid dle, and is seldom belled. Tho legs nre wide and not tied, so that tuo llritish leg9 are often revealed in their full length, and often abovo tho knee. A cool, measured, and judicial view inclines me to the conclusion that the llritish leg is fair to middling. It lacks three of tho adequate elements of tho American limb tho larue, round, tapering calf, the small ankle, and the tapering instepped, well-born foot Tho Uriti-h calf is liko a ban dage tied on, bunching once and then sliding away into leanness ; the wholo foot of the English woman is a mas culine article girded into abominable shoes, which may bo sensible in de sign, but are without symmetry. I think we make tho best shoes iu the world fr both men and women. "We are the best-dressed people, although the model of our styles is m inil'estly Parisian. Continuing with the fe male anatomy, I may say that Ameri can girls resemble tho French more than the English, yet resemble uoither much. There is refinement of skin and Latin contrasts in tho French girl's face dillicull to surpass; but in form the French woman is almost without hip, unless sho is a laboring woiiriu, and is planed otf like a board. Her feet are comely, however, and tho ankle is cut square, giving her free dom without strength of motion there. At llrigbtou I saw some few, large specimens of beautiful viial lifo in English girls ; such had generally darkish hair, dark gray or brown eyes, skins without m-cs, of a pale, brunette tint, and bodies lluent, limbs long, aud necks and beads cut tine and clear of the slioulders. Rational Tredtiiu'iit. and rositiveCurps are what the alilicted seek for, uuil those who resort to Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines are not dimmed to disappointment. So positively efficacious is his Favorite Pres cription in all cases ol female weakness. nervous and other derangements incident to tlie sex, that this potent remedy is sold under a positive guarantee.

An Enviable Reputation. It is with pleasure we allude to the man ufactures of thu well known chemists, Joseph ljunictt & Co., of Uoston. They have won by their merits nnd attractiveness a place beyond that occupied by any other similar manufactured goods in this coun try. Their Coconino for tho hair, and a supo rior Cologuc water, havo become famous for their exeelence. In addition to these preparations nre Hurnctt't standard Flavoring Extracts for cooking purposes, and wo cannot show bet ter evidence ot their superiorty than by referring our readers to tho testimonials of all tho leading popular hotels In tho coun try. These aro published in Uurnett's Floral Hand-Hook, an attractive and valu able littlo pamphlet which is distributed gratuitously by tho trade. All respectable dealers sell llurnctt's select goods, and all lovers of choice things win no wen to buy ttiem In preference to the cheap and impure articles now in the market.

Among the handicrafts which il lustrate the condition of the arts at various periods few are moro impor tant than book-binding. A collec tion of typical specimens of French binding, from the time of Eve through that of Le (iascan, Deromo and liozer ian, to the day of Trautz-IJauzonnet, would oiler a short history of French decorative taste. A less systematic and already partly scattered,' but still interesting collections of bindings in silver ami other metals is being ex hibited in a shop at the corner of Bond street and Uruiou street. Tho rem iiant of tho liragge collection is there 011 view, and includes many quaint European examples. No. l'J in the catalogue is a modern Russian service book cover iu silver and enamel, ex ceedingly modern .and excessively de based. Contrast ill, a binding iu solid silver repoussc,witb figures of women and children, tho style wonderfully free and largo. This is an admirable German work of the seventeenth cen tury.

Tho piece is of tho til teen th century, at which date Russia was entertaining several Italian artists. A Koran case of en ameled silver (Ol) is studded with rods and greens of a pleasant Oriental tone. A iruly French piece is tho binding of a book of ' i-arctcc spiri lue," embroidered and pain tod on silk, with tlioilliy of a pretty girl's face. There are also some odd old "Guild-books," and bits of Dutch aud French enamel, specimens of a stylo of binding which has bo 'onio as ex tinct as ilio U0J0. 1'ull Mull Ua- The great work -of reconstructing tho laiuous railway suspension bridge ucross the Niagara river has just been completed without liiteirupuoii of trallic.
