To begin with thu ludy ; her Iock? were ttraincd upwards over an immense cushion- that 6at liko an inoubus on hot* head, and plastered ovor with po? matum, and thou sprinkled over with a shower ol' white powder. The height of this tower was somewhat over a foot. One single white rosebud lay on its top like au eagle* on a huystack. Over her neek and bosom was folded a lace hand? kerchief, fastened in front by a breast? pin rather lurgcr than a copper cent, -containing her grandfather's miniature ?et in virgin gold. Uer airy form was . braced up in a satin dress, the sleeves as tight ns the natural skin of thc arm, with a waist formed by a bodice worn outside, whence the tkirt flowed off, and was distended at the top of an ample hoop. Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes, and heels of two or three inches elevation, oncloscd her feet, and glitter? ed with i [tangles, as her little pedal peeped cautiously out. Now for the * swaiu : bis hair was sleeked back and plentifully befloured, while his queue projected like tho handle of a skillet. His coat was a sky blue silk, lined with yellow j his long vest of white sat? in, embroidered with gold laco ; his breeches of the same material, and tied at the kneo with a pink ribbon. White silk stockings und pumps with laces, and ties of thc same hue, completed the habiliments of his nether limbs. Lace ruffles clustered his wrist, and a porten - . tous frill, worked iu correspondence, and boaring the miniature of his beloved . finished his truly genteel appearance. DtiRTM Or OH IKS. In Hunt's Merchants' Magazine for January wc find an article upon the indebtedness of thc leading cities of thc Uuitcd States, wbJch, though giving only partial returns of the financial con? dition of these cities, is not without in? terest. Tho net debt of New York eity and county is $25,000,000 on a valuation of 8908,430,837. The net debt of Philadelphia is about ?25,000, 000, on a valuation of $403,004,989. The uet debt of Hosten is not correctly given. On thc 31st of December last it was about $12,810,139 on a total valua? tion, May 1, 1800, of 8549,511,000. It is claimed that Huston six per cent currency bonds stand higher in thc money market than the bonds of any ether city in thc Union. Some of thc Western cities are utterly insolvent. Galena, Illinois, cannot pay the interest of its debt f $200,000. and thc valuation of property, which in 1856 was ?2,212, . 671, is uow less than 8500,000. TIIK AFRICAN Sr.AVK TRA DB STILL CARRIED ON UN DLR TUB AMERICAN FLAG.-The resolution introduced by Senator Wilson to-day has as its object a moro rigorous policy in regard to thc suppression of the slave trade. It is nuderstood that this traflio iu human beings still exists on the coast of Zan? zibar. The United States Government, io order to put down this illegal trade, appointed Judges sonto years ago. It is stilted as a singular fact that thc judges so appointed, instead of attends ing te their business, are very busily engaged in staying ttl home drawing their pay, allowing thc Africans to take care of themselves. It is also under stood that several Consuls on that coast execute their official duty in the same convenient manner. It ist fact that the largest share of thc trade is carried on under tho American fing and in American bottoms. Thia matter will reccivo an overhauling.-- Washington Correspondence, New York Iii raid. A'FR RN cn FAN.-This is the latest story front Paris: An attache of thc Austrian Legation was so unfortunate as to brcuk a f in. Its owner, a most oharmingand exceedingly pretty woman, the Counters J., was furious, und spoke her mind quito freely about it. The culprit mannifested becoming contrition and offered to have nie Inn mended, or supply its place. Increased anger on the part of the lady, who demanded a feiece cf paper in which to wrap the fragments. Thc youthful diplomatist opened his porto-monnaie,arid, without the least impertinent intention in tho world, took out a thn-usund franc note, Haying, ns he toro it in half, "I havo only this, madame.". This capped the climax, and the excitement of the lady reached so high a point that a fashion? able sculpt uro who was present requested permisssiou to luke her af a model for the statute ot au angry Juno, whioh he had just commenced. - The Saturday Review has another editorial on thc subject of tho "Shriek? ing Sisterhood," ridiculing the tenden? oies of!

Dec 29th, 18*9. In reply to your enquiry regarding Wm. Crichton A Son's Amtuonintod Fertilizer .-em to toe list (?pring, I ean give my own und Mr. J. M. Fowler's experiments. I triel it on Cotton, side by lld? with Peruvian Guano-costing $112 per ton-and in the sume quantity, and the difference WHS COB sidenthle. being in favor of the Fertiliser. The Cotton grew fr?ai two to three inches taller, sod wiis bolled in proportion. Mr. F.rw 1er. one of our best fanners, and closest and most accurate observers, told me he tried Peruvian Guano, Soluble Puci?c. Wandu Fertiliser, and six or seven others, the cheapest of which cost $6? per ton, and Crichton's Fertiliser beat tbetn all. W. B. CARSON. JOHNSON'S, Barnwell Co., S. C.. Dec. 28ih. 1869. I wed Wm. Crichton A Son's Ammoniated PbospliHte on both Corn and Cotton, at the rat? cf 200 pounds to theuero. The results were vory good, although wo had a very dry soason. Isa satisfied it is n valuable manure, as it was applied on poor land, which is the pince to tc<t anyihiog of tbia kind. I recommend it to planters as a good fertiliser. JAMES A. MOSLEY. CUI.VKRTON. 0\., November 15ih. 1869. "This year I have experimented with ten different fertilizer* of the nvojt popular Imindr-tnd ''Wm. Crichton A Sou's Ammoniated Soluhlo Super- Phosphate of Limo" ls nt present only equalled by two of the manures. I mn not quite Mir ugh picking, but there is so little yet to be picked, that it will not materially ?lier i e above statetnei t or result. I ean without hesitation recommend this fertilizer to planters as n No. 1 Cotton Manure. JOHN L. CULVER. GRRKN COUNTY, GA.. December 20th, 1869. - "I used tho Ammo> lated Supor-Phosphate of Lime nf W.t.. Crichton A Son un ihr. c acres of Col? ton. The summer was remarkably dry ; ye' I am well pleased with the result. Thc yield of Cottee being much greater where the ferriliscr waa used, and paying me handsomely. I can du erfdly rt commend it as a flrsl class fertilizer. Thc woll known integrity of the manufacturer' is ii sufficient guarantee for its uniformity." . THOMAS P. JAMES, M. D. SELMA, ALA.,September 16th, 1869. Messrs. " m Crichton A Son.
