I see you ask in a recent issue of vour snriehtlv paper for an ex planation of the ''crazy quilt" furore. I will endeavor to explain, . briefly, the time, and manner of its conception, its few montha of life and its probable early decent into non existence, Some of the eyils. too, attending its popular ity among our lady friends will bear a casual notice. 1 While the "transcendentally beauti ful" Oscar was visiting our country he infused many new-fangled notions into the heads and minds ot our country women and although he failed in his efforts to command their respect and admiration, he undoubtedly left with them the impress of- his ideas. Some of them are good ; but this one failed in its purpose! and bids fair to be a last ing monument to Mr. Oscar's tame as the "big failure" of the 19th Century. The "crazy, quilt" is composed of a great many pieces of - all sizes, shapes, colors, styles and conditions, and is in tended to i be used as a protection against mosquitoes in the Summer time and in the Winter to adorn the soft side of a sofa. It must be lined nicely and stuffed either with poetry ot the "Tom Moore" stripe or "Down with the Kev enue Collectors' ' articles. This will keep the festive mosquito from "Boring there for half an hour To break, at last, his blunted bill," And perhaps 'When on' thy couch in slumber reclin ing . j i. Thou'lt forget thy pain and cease repm- 4ne." - . Again, this quilt is used by the offi cers of the TJ. S. Army as cloaks to scare off the bloodthirsty Indians and to a i . I .
