A st. Louis paper is responsible for
the following:


"Maria Perkins was arrested in this
city on the 7th ult., dressed in men S
apparel. She stated that she was led
to this course by disgust of the pres
ent style of female dress, and astonish-
ed the court with an inventory Of the
number of skirts, &c. &C., which
fashionable woman Of the present day
is obliged to wear all at once, in order
TO be satisfied that she sticks out en-.
ough. Agreeably to her statement,
a lady's dress is not considered COM
plete until she has slowed about her
10 various directions, and for different
purposes, no less than twenty,seven
articles of clothing~


We are not Informed what action
the court took upon the case, but,
doubtless, SO far from being repriman-
ded, Maria was applauded for her in,
dependence and good sense. Given
ty-seven artacles" We begin to ap-
preciate now the wisdom of the old
Greek Philosopher, who said he was
thankful to the Gods for three things;
first, "that he was human being and
not brute;" secondly, "tha: he was
Greek, ard not barbarian;" and,
thirdly, 'that he zuas man, and not a
zU0man'" "1sOenty-seuen articles ."-
oh, Cupid!
