CnRtsTMAB Review .-iThe day was riot
»0 cool as a connoisseur in eggs etc., could
have Wished, but just of that teniperattne
desired by one, to enjoy a drive. In the
morning the tisunl number of cracker* were
burned by Y oung America, and dunes were
rapidly exchanged at the shops. At 11
we visited St. Juntes Church, utid heard an
appropriate Sermon from Rev. Mb. Qviov.
Text 8 : 8—Matt. Listening to the elo
qnent gentleman, we eonld see, that same
bright star as it dtood glorious in therfridst
of worlds, and as it now stands directing
man willi unerring light, the safest and
happiest wsy through that portion of his
journey, called time. One of our reporter»
visited St. ^ossph's, whore were assembled
a large audience, and becoming so entrane
ed by the sweet tones of their new organ
that he would only reply to our many
questions: ''yes It was very good, and
the voides accompanying, a little sweeter
than the thing itself.' 1 After mass an ad
dre» appropriate to the occasion, was de
Jivered by Rsv. Mb. Prachjcntbät. The
exoellent music in this Church is enough
of itself to make one feel devotional and
wisli for Heaven. There was no seTvico
in either of the other churches, A little
before 12.—egg -nogs were the order of the
day, and a reporter tells us the one hand
at——Was just" th« thing. '* No distubanoe
uinred the day, all was pleasant and the
«veninaK6rought many re-unione where
e»clv#ought to make the other happy.
The Presbyterian Fair,
The ladies of this Church with Ä com
mendablereal have been giving entertain
ments for two or threo evenings in the
Masonic Hail.
The Tableaux Vivante was as beautiful in
every respect as we ever witnessed. Tho
table was loaded with just such dishes as
the lady managers of that Church know
how to have served, and makes one sigh
to think Over the next day. That big
blueieh bowl over on the end of tho taldo
looks suspicious but as a charming young
lady stands near with a ladel itf hand,
there can't be much harm —so following
the example of Col. , a tumbler is
handed and soon returned, filled with a
foaming half and half liquid, which may
bo ate or drank—but in silence and best,
without moustaches, as friend G. can tee
testify. The receipts have been large as
they Bhould havo been.
The Common Enbmt .—Tho common eue
my of mankind, is undoubtedly, that rare
combination of oxygen and hydrogen call
ed alehehol. Without it, the leaning of
the race, would certainly be to virtues side.
There is but little variety in the reports of
our City Marshal—drunkeness and disor
derly conduct is the common complaint.—
On Christmas day there was but oue Brrest
and that was for drunkeness nnd disorder
ly conduct—disturbing tho peace of North
street. Mr. John Kinnèy, was the offen
der who was properly committed.
On Christmas night, two of Uncle Sam's
gallant sons came down town, to see " the
Christmas," and wore attack by the com
«non enemy Under the hill. They were
enabled to stagger under wounds to the
Garrison gtae, where they fell to
the earth^vanqnished. Marshal Neph
lsr , having regard for the dignity as well
as the peace of tho city, dragged the van
quished into the government grounds, and
outof tho jurisdiction of tho city, where
they had nothing but the heavens to cover
them until morning. SolAiers are expected
tobe posessed Of qualities of endurance,
and no doubt that this is the reason why, it
is the principal feature of thcr tactics,
Anotiub Casualty .—Yesterday, Mas
ter James Rivers, in company with his
mother and some neighbors, were looking
at improvements being mad», when at
tempting to mount a work bench, holding
n gun in his hand—the pieco was discharg
ed, the load passing through a portion of
his left hand. He is now in town receiv
ing medical attention. His mother resides
in the »ountry about 9 miles distant. How
often and how long shall we have to chron

A Fortunate Traveler .—It i» stated
that a Gerinrn, with whom Bayard Taylor
formed a friendship, has recently conveyed
to him as a free gift, an estate near the
Thuringian forest, which con tain» a beauti

D batm ot Col. Thomas K. Ht )kt. —Col.
Thomas f. Hunt, Assistant Quarter-mas
ter General U 8. A. died on Monday last,
tho 22d inst., at his residence in New Or
lenns, after a lingering illness. Col. Hunt
was a nntivo of Salisbury, Hawaii county,
North Carolina, and at tho tine of his
death, tlesr tiie attainment of his sixty
fottrth year. He entered the ariny in 1813.
During" tho administration of President
Madison, he held n Third Lieutenantey in
the 1st Regiment of Dragoons, lie was in
the memorable campaign — during the war
with England—against Montreal.
On the abandonment of Unit expedition,
his regiment was ordered W Uticfl. N. Y.,
and he was sent on requiting servir«, to
his native State, and ws.mmt again during
the war personally engaged against the en
emy. In ISlfi the regiment tn-whieh Lieut.
Hunt wns attached was ordered to the
West, arid on ttie Ijtli January, i81rt, after
a tedious voyage in keel buafs nil the way
fVom Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, two com
panies of it tn which he belonged arrived
«1 Natchitoches, Louisiana. In 1S17 he Te
ceived his lieutenancy, and on the resigna
tion of Captain W. L. Ilobeson, Assistant
Deputy Quartermaster General, he was or
dered to perform the duties of that office at
New Orleans.
He became Captain in his regiment, tho
3d Rifles - afterwards merged Into the in
fantry ; from this ho Was transferred to
the 5th Regiment-'received the nppotia
rnent of Assistant Qunrterninster. He cou
imfcd in the performance of Iiis duties in
this capaeiiy until 1826.
From 182!> to 1880 he was actively en
paged in the ofllce of the Quartermaster
General in Washington, where he fre
quently acted as chief. In 1884 he was
breveted as Major for ten years' faithful
service as Captain. In 1838 he was as
signed to duty in Georgia, at the com
mencement of the Florida war. In 1888
he was appointed Quartermaster with the
rank of Major, relinquishing his commis
sion os Captain in tlib line.
From 18'iS ta '41 he served uninterrupt
edly in the Florida war, where for services
he was promoted to the ofllce of Deputy
Quartermaster General, with the rank of
Lieut. Colonel. Daring the Mexican war
he was stationed at New (M cbiib , where
he was engaged in the important service
of forwarding the army tinder Genl. Triy

In 1848 he wttB breveted Colonel for mer
itérions services, and on the death of Bre
vet Brigadier General Whiting, became
Assi»tant Qtiartermaster General, with the
rank of Colonel, which rank he still held
at the time of his death, having served his
country faithfully, skilfully, und patriot
ically far the long period of forty-three
year's.
Col. Hunt was a generous and warm
friend ; Louisiana he regarded as his home
and he took a lively interest in all that
concerned her honor or welfare.
Mn. Buchanan .--We see a great many
speculations about as to what Mr, Buchan
an will not do, and there Is a vast amount
of good advice daily tendered the kind old
gentleman, we think of tendering a little
ourselves, not doubting hue it will be as
well received as though it were from "toth
erside." The very best thing you can do
Mr. B., is to get yoii a neat tidy lady, to
share your joys and sorrows, to keep the
fire well built up these long cold evenings,
after your Ministers have retired and tho
guv crowds deserted your parlor, it will
make you sod and shiver a little to turn
your face towards that small room, where
your thoughts must be your only oompa
nion. Get »wife Mr. B., and the sooner
the better, she'll dessect moro rascality in
one evening, than you will in a week.—
Don't take any of the old dornen, they
know too much. Get one about 18, with
full blue or black eyes, pouting jucv lips
tfec., and then see. that, now, desolate room
will be the most longed for, of any in the
house.
A Rare Chance for the Youno and
Rthroni or Heart .—From the New Or
leans Delta, wo take the following card :
Nioaraoua .—We have been requested to
call the attention of those who meditate
emigrating to this beautiful country, to
the fact that a free paetage will bo given to
all respectable persons, by application to
the Enrgrant Agent, No. 28 St. Charles
street. New Orleans. A Steamer will leave
on the 26th of every month, and one or
two sailing vessels will also bo sent off
each month if emigrants present thom
felvcs in sufficient numbers.
Hero is a rare chance for the young and
unincumbered ; unable to raise the wind,
toset their sails fora haven of fame and
fortune. The new reptlbli» of Central
America, offers a bright field, for tho hon
est and industrious, to carve out for them
selves, both fame and fortune.
Explosion of a Laut. — M. Bragelone,
tells a story of a young English lady who
had just arrived in Paris, and who had the
pretension to believe that she knew how to
speak French and to dress in French mode.
Hhe bought one of these air-crinolines or
dered it homoj and put ît on, tor the first
time, for a sif.ree. But the cloth, it appears
was defective ; for Uio first time she sat,
down, after orri vi ng'at thoporty, a formi
dable noise startled the people present, and
the lady sprang to her feet, fiat as a balloon
collapsed. Like a true Briton, she did not
loose her presence of mind, and added,
tranquilly, "Oh ! that is nothing ; nothing
nt all—it is only my mecaniq ««that is der
anged.

Chrtpter ith— Dritt.
Ever since the very unpopular Hlbomer
movement at the North, there has exis
ted a more or loss expressed rebellion
nga nst the dominant fashions ; desires not
1 matured into intentions, intentions not
| carried into practice to reform abuses in
j the manner of clothing, have pervaded
| the Community very generally. Indeed
! there lias been a ladies convention at
the North, the object of which was to
j bring fcbt«4»simtltanêoHs aatiéti to thin
j d . R f rocent 6üc0UUtR
: , , . r , , t
j thus the ladies of tho I re tic li Imperial
, Conrt have been entertaining a similar
| jj ow fpr thö vioT/H ,,f t j 1B Frennli
and American women coincide, does not
appear from the reports which have feti<3i
ed us. If however inero common K'tise
were exercised in both cases, there must
have been some thoughts in common.—
Gentlemen havo taken one rational step,
at least, in substituting the pliable easy
soft hat, for. tho absured stove-pipe, but
ladies need to model their costume, frem
the crown of the head to the solo of the
foot. The present bonnet is of no use
whatever. Tho pretty " French Cottage,"
worn ten years »itice, whicli covered the
head ; shaded the eye» and proetected the
complexion from sun or wind was exceed
ingly simple, graceful and becoming.—
Why hot return to it again. Again ; who
will defend the present magnitude and
length of skirt« ? Would any painter or
sculpter of good taste and judgement have
represented this beau-ideal of womanly
beauty, in such a garb? The very idea
provokes ridicule. It reminds one of a
pointing not long since exhibited in ftew
York. The subject: " The Prodigal's Re
turn,"—the painter—a Spaniard of the
nineteenth centuary. The repentant prod
igal presented himself at the arched portal
of a palace in the Spanish costume, short
cloak over the left shoulder, plumed cap
and the inevitable guitar slung at hi« back.
The dignified old Don, his father, was be
cloaked, be-plumed and he-daggered ac
cording to the reigning mode—tho sisters
with hailing skirts, lace mantillas and
fluttering fans were veritable representa
tives of tho court IadieB of his most Catho
lic Majesty, Ferdinand. To return to my
subject—one would scarce lmve her full
length portrait taken in tho present cos
tume. It will soon become obsolete, and
then the preposterous bad taste of the
dress will b'come so apparent that the
pioturo although executed in the highest
styl» of art, would be only the more ab
surdly ridiculous.
The term dress, implies greatly moro
than mere clothing. It involves the idea
of ornament, the exerrise of taste, tho ex
pression of character ond the Indication of
tho social position. To combine all these
with convenience, healthful adaptation.as
clothing, to the requirements of climate,
to the physical organization, together with
fitness for times and seasons, may be a
somewhat difficult, but not a hope loss task.
It surely becomes ns to do that with good
sense and propriety, which we must per
fcrce to do in some manner.
It is very desirable, that the hoped for
reformation extend beyond diminish
ing the length and volume of skirt. The
innumerable fantastic oud troublesome de
tails of fefnale apparel should be discarded.
This would give ft charming and dignified
simplicity to tho attire, ease and dispatch
in dressing would bo secured, and the
mind be thus loft free for nobler «nd bet
ter things. It is indispntablo that the
greater part of a woman's life is consumed
m trifles, and if she would gladly come to
knowlcilgo of herself, and hor capacity for
intellectual development, let her joyfully
hail anything that promotes even in a
small degree, her disentlmillment from
the thousand pettinesses and contempti
ble little cares and avocations which de
grade her into a mere lay figure, swathed
in silks and volvet» and bedizened with
ribbons and laces.
If it were felt to be Toally vulgar, as it
is ungenerous to those poorer, to appear on
the ordinary proinenado in any fabric
batter or mortf expensive than cotton, lin
en and wool, (and these includo fabrics of
great taste and beauty) the sentiment
would bo most decidedly republican, and
breathe a truely American spirit, extolling
Rome's best days, and surpassing in true
humanity, Rome's noblest women.
Invidious diätibetions bespeak a grovel
ling soul, and I have often wondered that
a woman from whom it is naturally ex
pected a delicate generosity, could parade
upon her person, expensive textures and
ornaments, with which not one in ten çf
her compeers, fellow-oountry-women, sis
ters in the greothuman family, could com
pete- It is a most unworthy and improp
er use to make of God's rich gifts. Let os
tentatious show bo avoided as indecorous
and wicked, whilo peculiar cli a rac tori sties
and individuality of taste may find proper
and ample scope. I am not saying that
•' full dress " and ornaments should never
be worn. There!» a time for them, but
not at church, er on the promenade, or in
a promiscuous assemblage. Let us, as
American «rotten, Bet » noble example to
tho wo'rldi Let tts dare to be sensible and
rational Ifl ttndjdftg où# Own convenience
and Öomfort and being giiided by our in
nate as dm of propriety.
By bo dtäng we shall doubly, respect
onrselvee and eottunotid the respect of all,
while h umnnity 'fill be benefited . For, there
is no question that many of suicidal and
unnatural custom» in dress havo dwarfed
and enfeebled the race. The women of
the present generation are unfit foT ma
ternity. Let them begin so to act and
live, as not only to enjoy themselves in a
newer and greoter degree, but to ensure
m ire of life and vitality to their children.
Finally, it is each woman'» duty to give
whatever influence she may possess, to the
promotion of anything that promises im
provement, reformation and advancement
inhuman welfare and happiness.
General Walker.
Th» larest news from Nicaragua is un
favorable to Gen, Walker, and his star is
evidently on the decline. Whether he
possesses real genius will soon be tested,—
At this distance, and the little information
we possess of recent occurrences, no defin
ite conclusion or opinion can be formed as
to iiltimats results. Should he now suc
ceed tho world will pay him an ovation,
no, much more—a triumph such as no Ro
man ever had. Should he fail, no lan
guage sufficiently expressive of condemna
tion Can be had. Every step he has taken
will be criticised, analiyzod, and condemn
ed. Walker has had-our sympathies from
the begin in g , although we doubt whether
" the end would justify the means." We
never hear of an American in difficulties in
other lands, that nil our sympathies are
notât onco aroused in his favor. It is to
us a kind of self-evident proposition—
" Americans in a foreign land are always
right.''
The Kpoar Dotv .—Icn, the Washington
correspondent of tho Baltimore Sun writes :
The burden of the susror tax is severely
felt, and complaints against the present
rate of duties are very general. Oen. Hous
ton's resolutions for an inquiry into the ex
pediency of exempting the article from
duty for two years will be considered by
the Committee on Finance, whose report;
with sugar still on the rise, will be looke</
for with interest. Tho duty i# thirty p~'
cent., advulnrem, and therefore, the high
the price of sugar the higher becomes t
duty. When sugars aro cheap the tax «
small, and when they are dear the Avfy
becomes exhorbitant and oppressive. /
The value of the sugar imported isolait
twenty-one millions, ana of the dome/tic
products fifteen millions. The duty opr
at.es as a tax upon the entire oonsuinpion
of the article, and thoiefere, amount to
near twelve millions. Sugar, if dutyfree
would be but eight cents where it is flow
twelve, or six cents where it. 's now ^ne.
It is probable that Gen. Houston; mo
tive in limiting the exemption to tw®*ears,
is to afford time for the resuscita/on of
the »ngar culture in the South, «
for the result of the experiments n
to be made with the Chinese Bugi
which is found tobe so prolificev. '
south of the parallel forty-two. /
It is rumored, too, that acombfied and
formidable assault is to be mads in Con
gress upon the railroad iron di/y. The
Southern, We»tern and Northed railroad
interests may all be combined Ji favor of
some measure, at this session, fr their re
lief,by reducing, refunding oiabolishing
duties on railroad iron, tor'ie promo
tion of the Pacific railroadcnterprise a
measure of this kind is to be sttfngly urged.
The report of the Secretary f>f the Trea
sury does not propose any clhnge in the
rate of duties on Iron and Bti/ir, but it for
cibly urge» the propriety of /jolishing du
ties on wool ond other nw materials,
which duties are burden sofc taxes on re
production, ond oppress uipecessarily the
industry of the country.
