The headgear is a tight-lit ting skull cap, from beneath which fall little tags ef curls to the insertion of the nose. The aleevea are no sleeves at all, or, if they be, an eel in his kin, in comparison, has a most redundant supply of the raw material. The waist of the gown is just as high as it can go for the arms ; indeed, it is just under them. The "plain muslin gown, laced over the breast,*' dec., appears to be uothiug but a sort of au Egyptian mummy bandage from lbs arm-, or waist, I suppose we must call it, to the feet, with a train of heaven knows how much surplus cloth, tacked on it to trail on the earth. Upon the whole, Mr. Editor, your correspondent has come to the conclusion that not only our grandmothers, but mothers, daughters, and the M rest of wo mankind " of the present day, have been and are *' wise (!) in their day and generation," but bo cannot help thinkitig the afore said grandmothers would have looked better with more of the aforesaid " train " in | the body and sleeves of their gowns, and | the bodies of to-day much improved by !substituting some of the exuberance of! hooping below for Unit tight hooping Hbove. i T. Tribute to the Memory of Senator Busk. The Hon. Jame* Jackson, of (Jeorgia. in the representative branch of Congie a,o the 10th ultimo, thus feelingly referred to the death of Senator Hu-k. of Texaa : " If it be true that the dead can expert ence the emotion of gratification at what transpires in honor of their memory here, the immortal spirit of the late Senator front Texaa must be gratified to-day. Texaa weeps here over liia remains, because he was eminent among those heroes who achieved her sovereignty by the sword, und Irecauw, afier her incorporation into our Union, he ably and filly represented the sovereignty in the council chamber of sovereigns?the Sen ate f the United States. u South Caroliua bows sorrowing by tbe ..J * i - t t. suit? im nvr vvungtsr nnicr, in*chu?? ue wa* born beneath ber hot ruii ; and thai nun fired bis heart with much of (hat impetuous chivalry which characterizes all ber gallant children. 44 Georgia also approaches his bier as a mourner, because General Rusk lived, for a brief period, among those beautiful mountains that skirt ber northern frontier, and imbibed, perhaps, from their wholesome at m<?phere, something of that hardihood of character which characterized the soldier, and that tobusl judgment and sound prao tical sense which marked the Senator. " The entire South follows this procession to the grave with melancholy, yet proud step, t?ecau*e he was her son?true and loy al to that institution which was fattened up on her unwilling infancy, which has grown with her growth, which was now become in lerwoven with every fibre of her being, and j by which, '-cdu IVcvkissefl, she this day clothe* the nakedness of mankind. " The North, too, and the mighty and atill growing North-west, all pay a willing trib ute of unfeigned sorrow to the memory of thia ureal man ; because, while hia heart was thus true to the instincts of his birth and the fealty of his hot hood, it was big enough to embraoe in its patriotio lore all the States of the Union, and hia eye keen enough to see that the true interests of each ia really the interest of all. Well may we all mourn. A hero has iefl the battle-field forever; a Roman bae departed from the . Senate Chamber, never more to return. M I repeat, if it be possible that the dead can eaperienoe joy over what transpires here, th# the departed Senator must he gratified to-day/" Hut, air,' this cannot be ; for there is no work, nor device, nor know! ] edge, tor wisdom, in the grave whither thoft joest,' and those and ceremonies are only iseful to tbs living.
