A. writes from Washing ton to the Cleaveland Leader: ; “.Mis Olive R , the daughter of an officer of the Treasury, a large and handsome lady of dark! hair and.stately carriage, has been I ‘amused and flattered by the gossip current that Mr. Seward is in love with her. The lady is under thin tv, th-.. Secretary sixty-seven, hav ing been born iu the year (1801). The whole story rests upon the fact that Mr. Seward sent a favor ’ it? physician to her mother, recent lv dece.'.sed, and now comforts the lady by giving her airings in his carriage. Among the diplomatists of the Old World these marriages; . of power on the one side and bean-! tv on the other are quite common, j Count B > lisko, white as Russian j snow, married a strippling school' girl <>f Georgetown. Mr. Sew ! ard is hille and lively as a boy. At • his ri’c 'ptiuns lie will stand three ‘ hours at the f »ot of tluY. room., neYer showing fatigue.

Corsets and Tight Latins. We suppose that women will wear corsets aa long as tha world lasts. The wearing of cofseta 1 does not, however, ueeessftirly in- > voh’e tight lacing, so that h good ideal of the well-meaning’ censure whichTs applied'to corsets in the : abstract, may be spread. To de- ■ bounce excessive tight lacing is one thing; to anathematize *' the j wearing of corsets at all is quite ; another. 3 We find the corsets mentioned ■in “Homer,” or at least an article which answered the same purpose.. The Circassian woman, from’ time -j immemorial, have used a corset 1 made of rnoroco, and furnished with two plates of wood placed on the chest—a much more cltffusy article, as well as a cruel one. than , that used by fashionable ladies of modern days. Iu the old Roman times, a broad bandage, or swath, was used, which answered the purpose of stays. After the fall* of ; the empire, through the invasion iof the Goths, the art of making these corsets was lost; but soon after, indeed, as early as the nyiih ’ century : the French women *be- ’ gan to wear another style of corset, which is decribed as being ex- ’ ceedingly stiff. From that period down to the present time, a corset in some shape or other has been worn among all civilized people. At constantly occuring epochs, during this interval, tight laving has also prevailed. Neither the censures of religion, nor the penalties of the law. nor common sense, have been able to prevent this absurd amj dangerous practice. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, not only the ladies, but" gentlemen also, laced tightlv. It seems • curious to know that Sir Walter Rr.leigh, Sir Phillip Sidney, and ':t!iers of that stamp, heroes and men of genius, iaeed ; yet such is ' tiie tact.
