OBE. * Ii is generally conceited ihnt tiiie distin" - guished eon of South Carolina will either be Speaker of the next Congress, or the * ' leader of the administration party in the House. Col. Orr's career has been a brilliant one. A.s soon as ho arrived at his majority, he was elected a member of the Legislature from Pendleton District. There he at once ? . took a high position, which he maintained until his electiou to Congress. Ho rises above the politician to the dignity of a statesman. The South has had no abler man in Congress that Col. Orr, since the death of Clay and Calhoun. lie possesses a thorough and extencive knowledge of the genernl subject of political economy, und is, in fact, the business man of the House. Every orator, it is said, should havo the following qualifications, to wit: Earnestness, i. e.t the power of feeling; Clearness, i. e., the power of stating; Energy, i. e., the power of commanding; Imagination, i. e., the power of illustrating. All these he possesses in a very high degree, which is most easily proved from his congressional speeches. And here let us 6ay, to the credit of Col. Orr, he does not make set speeches, like many members, merely for the purpose of sending thetn to his constituents, in order to euhance his popularity and influence at ltAmu QitnK man Kova iia i it Riton no of Washington, and are utterly worthless, for any practical purpose. Col. Orr has aimed to make himself a useful member, and has thus acquired an influence at Washington above that of any other Southern member. His talents, information and habits of unwearied application, early gave hiiu much influence in the llouse. His vigilance in detecliug, and his readiness in refuting fallacies, makes hiin a terror to the Black Republicans, lie is never surprised, but often creates an aim in in the enemy's camp, without giving them tho slightest notice. He also has the faculty of concentration upon the strong points of his own case, and the weak ones of his adversaries. Added to this his rich, ready eloquence, invariable coolness and courtesy, his admirable and wonderful parliamentary dex terity, render him one of the most remarkable men of the age. There is a genuine, homespun plainness, frank, open disposition and kindliness of heart about him, making him also one of the pleasantest men of the day. Upon all important matters in Cougress he is consulted. Of all important Committees, he is the active member. We And him, just at the close of this last session, leading the Investigating Committee, and driving the corrupt members to tho alternative of resignation or expulsion. In fact wo find him enjoying a position in public life of most enviable eminence, and in the open path to higher honors. Thoro is no member of Congress of whom the sentiment is more uuiversally felt by the Democratic party, that he could not, under any circumstances, be spared from his seat there. At this particular juncture his loss will he severely felt, not only by his Congressional District, but by the State?by the South?by the whole country. Wo sincerely hope the luwuiiinui xjim ivi will iuh jh'iiuh, nun iu take the harness off.?Newberry Rising Run. The Fashions. Paris, February 18.?Grand halls at the Tuileties are succeeded by brilliant entertainments at the Hotel de Ville, and at the ministerial palaces. Paris is in a whirl of gaiety, whilst the unfortunate milliners and mantuamakers aro toiling day and night to supply the demand for dinner and ball toilettes. Crapes, tulles, tarlatans, embroider ?d muslins, prints, while and blue taffetas for (ho daughters; moire antiques, brocades, velvets and satins for the mammas, are the only costumes thought of or asked for. During the six carnival weeks the toilette de ville loses all its importance. As the nights are passd in dissipation, the days must be given to repose, and the pretty morning costume is thus momentarily abandoned. Robes of tulle have often as many as six skirts or flounces; sometimes these skirts are merely hemmed, and over the hems are placed small satin rolls, or else a wide satin ribbon is passed through the hem. 1 Flounces are also sometimes bordered with i? --i 1 I>mni iuiih rucrios eugeu wun a liariow blonde. When cut in Vandyke*, the floun 1 ces are bordered with luchea of doubled and very full No. 3 and 4 ribbons. Some skirls are puffed all over; double skirts are also bordered with narrow gold or silver braid, surmounted by fancy foliage of different ; colors. Among the beautiful full dress coiffures displayed in the show looms of Madame Alphonsine, 21 Rue do llelder, tho newest 1 fashions are the Empress, the Czarino, and , the Duchess bend dresses. Tho Empress coiffure is composed of pearls and feathers falling behind in the foi tnof a cache pciyne. The (Jzarine is a sort of purple velvet skull cap, surrounded with a gold border. On ouo side are placed two white farthers, and on the other is a velvet bow embroidered in gold. A velvet diadem enriched with largo gold pearls crosses tho forehead. The Duchess coiffure is formed with a gold barbe, and an ornament of white terry vel I vet striped with gold,%and terminated at each extremity by a square bow. A half crown of green leaves with long bunches of white fuchsias hang down on one side. Tho Creolo bonnet is a simple and prel1y pattern for this season. It is composed of maroon velvet; a ribbon of tire same color, ribbed with velvet, crosses the head. The curtain is formed .by lira velvet of the bonnet, which folds back, and is covered with a row of laeo ten inches wide. At tho edge of the front aro two rows of black lace, ono turned back and tho other hanging down like a fall. Inside are a square 'bow of China blue velvet balls; maroon strings. For full toilette, Madame Alphonsine makes bonnets of royal velvet. Some are wiuie, oiuers 01 a ng"i coior. i no ornaments are generally fenthers, sometimes of two tints of the same color. Inside tho front there is n very full blonde ruche with foliage velvet balls or tips of feiilliois. Among tho lich and elegant costumes for day dress, devised by Madame Petit, No. 4 Place Veudome, those of velvet aro greatly in favor. Tlie corsage is made high, buttoned to tlie throat, and is trimmed either with flat guipure, or two lows of ball hinge forming a berthe, rounded or pointed before snd behind. Sometimes balls of steel are mixed with the fringe, and tho body fastened by steel buttons; but for walking dre*? passementerie is more appropriate. Skirts of robes ate very much trimmed at the siJe?, with retilles of velvet or chenille of different widths: various kinds of fancy plush or plain velvet are often adopted to ornament sill: dresses. The velvet may be put on full, forming bouillonnes across or down the drees, separated by torsades mix- I ed with jet, steel, or gold beads. Dresses i trimmed en tablies are again worn; velvet i is almost exclusively used for this style. A wide velvet ribbon, with a narrow one on I each* side of it, forms the apton; while up ! the front of the skirt Hre placed bullous, | bows, or ends of velvet trimmed with lace. When these ends are of the same material as the dress, they aro edged with a very | narrow velvet, and finished by a uarrow lace. The sleeves of walking dresses are generally made with two, three, aud eveu four graduated putl's; when there are but 1 two, they are finished by a frill above the elbow, under which is fastened a wadded sleeve of the same material as the dress, fitting the arm and buttoued at the side; this is half covered by a white chevalier cuff, cut square or in deep points. This style is verj warm and convenient for walking robes, and can be easily exchanged for bouffants of tarlatan, or muslin fulled in at the seam, which scam is covered by a bouillonne with two narrow laces, or else the sleeve is gathered into an embroidered insertion. Velvet jackets are much worn in the street. The jacket comes very low on the skirt and from the hips forms ample tlutes; the fulness is obtained either by three plaits behind, or by means of bias. The sleeves reach down to the middle of the arm and are about 12 inches around at the edge. Kur is placed on the body as a bertlie, and is continued down the front to meet the deep band that terminates the skirt. The sleeves are bordered with fur. Fancy fichus continued to he worn with toilettes for the theatre aud evening parlies. The display of jewelry at couit and at entertainments of the aristocracy is, this year, truly magnificent. Some of the parures, and ornaments for the dresss, lately mounted at the establishment l>u Negrc, 19 Boulevard St. Denis, are exquisite specimens of French taste. At the last Court ball, the jewels of the Empress wore estimated at four millions of francs, and the flounces of Alengons lace which coverod the lilac satin robo of Her Majesty cost six hundred thousand; the dress aud jewels thus amounting to almost a million of dollars. Tastings of Puuch. Punch thus describes a certain kind of fly, which he calls the (iobemouche. or Afusca Disraelis: 4'Thefood of the Gobemnuche consists generally of playbills, pamphlets, programmes, prospectuses, and blight gossamer promises of a11 kinds; au English reform bill, a Spanish constitution, an Austrian liberty of the press, a Kussiaii liberation of (lie serfs, an American abolition of slavery?nothing is too gross, or too far out of the way, for its consumption! It is dearly fond, also, of anything quackish. Thus, the Gobemouche falls an easy prey to the ointment-spider, and other dealers in soft soap, such as your cheap jack philanthropist, your flowery preacher, and mouthing politician. During the elections, the Gobeinouche may bo caught in thousands and thousands. The pledges the}' take in then, without the smallest examination, would ruin tbo richest pawnbroker in no time. "On the stock exchange the poor Gobemouche falls a ready victim to the innumerable kites that fly about the city." A Wonderful Weapon.?A gallant officer, in writing to a coteruporary, doscribes himself by the following signature: "A lieutenant colonel whose sword is his bread, but would not neglect bis mother's grey hairs for a marshal's baton.*' We should liko to have a look at the extraordinary sword possessed by the lieutenant colonel. What a wonderful weapon! It is nutritious, voluntary and dutiful. Its master cats it without consuming it; but notwithstanding that, it would not neglect the grey hairs of his mother. What peculiar attention it is in the habit of showing to them wo can only guess; perhaps the kind of service that is rendered to grey hair by a lead comb. This sword would also appear to bo capable of wielding a marshal's baton; a feat only comparable with ! that of the celebrated dish which is related | to hare run away w ith a spoon.

The tune for transry planting is when the ground is what we call "dry." The mode of planting is to make a hole with the hand, or otherwise, of the proper depth to receive the young plant; tR* and when it is placed in the hole, 1 pour in ,nH a half a gill of water, so that the earth ier may settle round the fibrous roots; then, 1 jn" draw the dry earth around the plaut, and compress it a little with the hoe.
