LATEST ECCENTRICITY IN DRESS.

" Echcvin " writes: "In a recent issue of the Star the following par. appear&3 ;-. 1 The latest eccentrieityju English woiien'a dress is ankle bangles. Probably thiijpev, fashion is duo to Mrs Cetewajo, who raited England lateiy V As some oi our Auckland belles may wish to imitate this eccentelsity a little information on. the subjectmlljjitpTS interesting. The wearing of ankle ha'ljglei is not confined to Zululand. It is 'ajvery ancient Hindu custom. Native worn in of the lower castes wear them, and pay.^hbro ' attention to these extraordinary articles o{ jewellery than anything else about iUwir persona. As many as twelve or fourtiietfof these bangles— some silver, oftentimes, o{ - gold—have been counted on the lcgii and arms of the victims of this curious taiihion, • It has beeu said that, rather than forego the pleasure of weaiiog these ; bangles, the native women are contejkt to suffer nil kinds of privation, pecuniarjrand-. otherwise, iv fact, notwithstanding their cachexy, they would soil every thing; ithey were possessed of sooner than be Without | these curious articles of personal ijdom.. ment. Some of these poor women, injttar hebetude, have been often seen on Monti skirts of Calcutta, Hombay, andljper places, wallowing in mire, and subjltllog themselves to the very worst meniali m4. bestial offices imaginable, such as cleaning out stables, making and'carrying mortal for building purposes, etc.; and, Mr Edituij in spite of another paragraph whicili ap<J peared in your yesterday's issue stating thatf" they were generally observed to be in gooJ- = condition, aid possessed' fine forma and good featurcn, I beg to state that, from my own personalI'experience, I have found 1 thi3 is the exception and 00l ,;t(ie :<; rule, as these wretched women ark .iiwnV. ably seen by the roadside covered fioni[hen.d to foot in filth and rags, and have tbti/woc begone emaciated appearance of f{iniinc« stricken individuals. They haveji beco observed, while resting from their flaDonni, viewing their bangles, which are.gppliahed to a glittering brightness, with priiJß; and veneration, the jangling of the silyei .rings acting like a charm oil their wealt; and shattered frames, cheering them jul: their;: dedecorous occupations. They aie; com« ".'. pelled to submit to all the before-mentioned outrages on the decency of their sis, a« a, they are totally servile to their miniciom* lords and masters. This is an ancient jjjistoni in the East, and one whioh, it is tea led,-is immedicable, and will never die out.'lj |

The Governor of Fiji has addressed a message to the Legislative Ctitmtil, dealing with the "subject ■of thn^lpaa. which has been successfully fljiateai The Governor finds that in /some' instances the sums set down oili the schedule of probable appropriation iviH bo insufficient for the purpose for... .truck J they have been designed, _ anil ; ;_ha therefore recommends a fe-diatrilmtion on the following lines: -on',.account, of liabilities of the late Gi)vera ment, £100,000 ; being £5,000 in excess of former appropriation. On account ol Snvs works £21,393 9s sd, or £3,636 lOs.Tdteloff former estimate. Lighthouses £93 j4s ?d, in place of £5000 previously allotted. Imdiaa immigration £13,753 13a 3d, as agairst to; original £10,000, Lands Commission re< mains at £10.000, Levuka Pier is set dom at £1389 2s lOd, instead of £1500, and tha yacht appropriation remains pro" forma, w the £3,500. The following queries have beerr pro. pounded by the Concord school of ■■philoso phy:— "Why do not cows eit do'im to rest the same as dogs? Why does.aclog turn round a few times before^ hB. lies down ? Why. does a cow get njt from tn» ground hind-end lirst, and a horse.fawnd first? Why does a squirrel come; dowa? head first, and a cat tail first ?"
