Thej are exceedingly warm. dressy, showy, and subt no tial, lilt what reads W thcui totally differ, entTrom anything we have see.i , is the fact that they are chani-Ieoo.

These changeable biavers are certa inly a novelty and will, therefore be largely sought for. Very few su; touts or hangups have yet made their appearance in Washington, although they have been much worn iu New York, especially blue and fancy colors. The meltons have been all the rage for fall weir, an! the meltons now come in so many different grades tint they are quite wo!l suited for viator overeoa ts in this i !ocality.

The money all in t he bauds of the few ; The titles all conferred upon the few ; ! The privileges all vested in the lew; The monopolies all granted to the few j j The exemptions all made io favor of thej lew ; The power all possessed by the few j The honors all enjoyed by the few ; The offices all held by the few ; The emoluuieotg all received by the The faror til bestowed upon the few ; Affluence and splendor surrounding the !
