DOWN AMONO TUB DEAD.-The New

ject, editorially, which is interesting to
all men and everywhere. The World
says: "How to dispose of tho dondis n
question concerning which sanitarians
and sentimentalists are at swords' points,
and as pop?latiun increasingly aggre?
gates at certain centres, the discussion
between the conflicting parties acquires
additional importance. The village
church-yard, distant from the habita?
tions of the living, with its dozen or so
of flower-bearing graves, isa very differ?
ent thing from the city cemetery, with
its hundrod masoned vaults, in each of
which are shelved the coffins of two or
three generations, and medical authori?
ties are unanimous in insisting that tho
latter, at all eveuts, if not the former,
must be suppressed. But how? 'We
must have cousecrated ground for Chris?
tian burial,' says tho churchman. 'We
must show our reverence for the depart?
ed,' adds the striot follower of the flfth
commandment. 'Every family of any
respectability must have its family vault,'
chimes in the patrician. 'But you
musn't put u number of dead bodies to?
gether to poison au entire neighbor?
hood,' retorts the sanitarian. 'Senti?
ment'-begins u blooming widow. 'Sul?
phuretted hydrogen gas,' interrupts the

"It c innot be denied that our present

DOLLY VAI?DENS.-If our readers have
ever seen a flock of sheep follow their
leader, running when ho TUBB, walking
when he walk?, and even loaning over a
straw, should he happen to have in?
dulged iu that sill; proceeding, they
cannot fuil to compare them with the
blind followers of fashion. No heed
what ridiculous peculiarities fashion in?
dulges in, the stupid sheep follow her
lead with tho most unquestioning fuith
in lier. If it be a hat that does not covi r
the bead, an abominable chiguon that
imposes ou nobody, a bunch of curls
that makes no pretence to be either we i
placed or well matched, una, in fact, is
innooent of deceptiou of any nature; or
a puffiing ont of the skirts that robs the
figaro of all grace uuder the title of a
Grecian bend, it bas only to bear the
sign-manual of fashion to become the
vogue. The last vagary of this kind is
the Dolly Varden, a very pretty affair
when seen iu pictures of a hundred yeats
ago, and which was, no doubt, a charm?
ing addition to the costumes of the So?
phia Westons, the Lady Betty Modishes
und the Clarissa fiar lo wes of old; but os
much out ot place ou the backs of tho
ladies of our day us tho square-cut coat!
and sword of the time cf George II
would be iu connection with the black
pantaloons aud shirt collars of the pre?
sent time. But loaring all anachronism
out of the question, we must protest
against the general use into which it is
coming, regardless of propriety. Elderly
spinsters, servant girls uud chamber?
maids have become inoculated with the
mania, and buve made a raid upon old
chintz hangings and bed quilts, in order
to transform them into Dolly Vardeus.

retrograde movement in fushion be con?
fined tu the fair sex alone? Why should
not the sterner sex also have its privi?
leges in the way of fashionable eccentri?

A THRILLING TABLEAU-A SunruiSE
PARTYQcrru SURPRISED.-Certain young
ladies und gentlemen in a Montgomery
County towu determined a fow days ugo
to get np a surprise party for the pur?
pose of visiting tho house of Mr. nud
Mrs. Gilpin. Everything was arranged.
Tho provisions wero nicely packed uwuy
in the carriages, the musicians were en?
gaged, and tho purty merrily drovo to
Gilpiu's resilience. It was agreed that
instead of ringing the bid, tho frontdoor
should bo quietly opened aud the party
should rush right into tho parlor, iu or?
der to make the surprise the greater. It
was dono. The company entered ou tip?
toe and stole quietly ulong the entry
until tho parlor door was reached. Then
it was "?pened, and tho whole crowd
rushed iu with a laugh. The merriment,
however, did not continue-not for any
considerable length of time, nt least; for
tho first tb1 g observed by tho visitors
waa a t'*' .u-Mrs. Gilpin sitting upon
th* ..ate form of Mr. Gilpin, with
_t uaud tangled among his hair, while
with the other hand she pounded him
with the coal-scuttle. Gilpin, mean?
while, expressed his sentiments in
groans, intermingled with certain em?
phatic and earnest adjectives und verb",
which were, perhaps, natural, but cer?
tainly improper. Tho party was more
of n surprise than tho company had an?
ticipated; aud when Mrs. Gilpin ob?
served the visitors, sb.- rose aud. tried to
explain that she was helping Mr. Gilpin
to tack down the carpet-un explanation
which left no room for any theory as to
tho method by ?..hieb Mr. Gilpiu's m?e
was induced to yield a copious stream of
gore, and permitted conjecture to run
wild as to why Mrs. Gilpin should bold
him down to tho carpet by his hair, aud
bit his head every timo, instead of tho
tack, with tho coal scuttle.
