Even in Richmond, where the clemency of the conqueror has struck the inhabitants with wonder, ladies can be met upon the streets who render their sour, sharp features still more repellent by a turning up of the nose, and a taunting protrusion of the under lip, supposed to be expressive of scorn; if you, out of ordinary etiquette, take the trouble to give them the inside on the pavement, they draw their skirts (sadly innocent of soap and water) to
is the victorious party. Good sense requires that the fact be acknowledged, and Virginia will not try to renew the war. Such is Mr. Stuart's opinion. Such, doubtless, is the opinion of the great mass of his white fellow-citizens.
But if good sense requires him to acknowledge the fact of the national superiority in power, does it not require us to acknowledge the fact that he is no friend of that power? He submits because fighting is useless, not because fighting is wrong. Do we wish to intrus

TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORS.
The record of the trial of the conspirators at Washington forms a memorable portion of the history of the rebellion. A portion of this record we endeavor this week to lay before our readers. The trial is likely to be prolonged beyond the limits at first fixed by the popular expectation.
The building in which the trial is held is that in which the prisoners have been confined since their removal from the Saugus and Montauk. It is the old Penitentiary building, now
case. It seems quite probable that Spangler actively and knowingly participated in Booth's crime. Against Atzerott the testimony weighs heavily. It is proved that George N. Sanders did know Booth, notwithstanding his statements to the contrary — statements which must, in the light of the evidence, induce a suspicion of guilt. It is known that the Confederate agents in Canada had immense sums of money on deposit, to be occupied in the most nefarious schemes. It is proved by documentary evidence
"Mosby's." Harold returned that he was of A. P. Hill's command. He said his brother was wounded below Richmond, and asked if Jett would not take him down to the lines. After a while Harold announced that he and his companion were the assassinators of the President. The entire party then crossed the river and went to Garrett's, where they left Booth and went on; the next day Harold went back to Garrett's.
Lieutenant Conger and Sergeant Boston Corbett were then examined in regard to the pursuit
INTERESTING ITEMS.
Philosophy and Fashion. — To the philosophic mind it is ever an amusement to contemplate the fanciful and fickle freaks of fashion. When hoops went out of vogue, nigh a century ago, the ladies vowed that scanty petticoats were infinitely prettier; and they vied with one another in reducing their dimensions until their skirts became so shrunken they could hardly move their feet within the limited circumference. So, doubtless, will it be again, now crinoline is doomed. The
"Heaven forbid that I should ever know any of the three," observed Saxon, gravely.
"You have this very day been in danger of the two last," replied Mr. Trefalden.
"Cousin, you are jesting."
"Cousin, I am doing nothing of the kind."
Saxon's blue eyes opened in amazement.
"What can you mean?" said he.
"I will tell you. But you must promise to listen patiently, for my explanation involves some amount of detail."
Saxon bent his head; and the lawyer, puffing lazily at his cigar from t
THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF DESIGN.
The building of the National Academy of Design is a beautiful Temple of Art. It went up in the years of angry strife, but at the time of its dedication the time of peace was almost fully come. The building is well situated on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Twenty-third Street, and was built according to the design of P. B. Wight. Built of white marble, it bears some resemblance to the Doge's Palace in Venice, though different in color and proportions. The mar
