Instead of planning onc's aow cashmores aud gorgos, ono has been forved to recousidor grenadines aud foulards, contriv- Ing hon thoy may bo tricked into Iasling another month, It thoso warm days shall enduro a little longor, thoy who usualiy have the misfortuno to bo far bobind In sthe Maunluau contest will havo'n ohance, for once in tlsir lives, of atarting oven with the woather, THE OFENINGS that have boon hold up to this moment have boon of the principal pattern-shops ; as it 18 you too early for the largo rotail catablishments to mako suy tompting display., The pattorns aro sll moro or less in the styles described in my lust ; the oliof—and & very protty—oxcoption being tho long jacket-basques intonded tosuper- sode polonaise and ovorskirt for the straet. Theeo garmonta aro roally a oross of polonaise and basquo, sufliciently rosembling eithor to bo callod by ita name. Thoy are plain, oven sovore, in etylo, and demand no trimming, but pip- ings, pipod folds, and fringo of almost overy doscription, One of theso jackets is mado with a single dart, the basque in front of tho dart oxtonding a finger bolow the waist, simu- Iating a vest,—boing finished with a sido-plai ing, six or eight inches decp. The portion of the waist betwoon the dart and undor arm-seam {8 carried down to the knco in a long squaro tab ; Ia piped down the back odge and across the bot- tom ; hns long simulated pockots, fastened by four buttons ; and is trimmod across the end with doep fringe. Tho back of the basquo sits ‘®moothly over the bustle, without fullness, ta the dopth of eight iuchow, whero it is piped ncross. Undor tho adge is sot & side-plaitod flounce, ten or twolve imches doop, which rosts on the dross like & mccond skirt-flonnce. A rolling. cont collar meeta on tho bosom, and liow as though held Ly n row of bute tons, aud simulated button-lioles. The Jackot is cither cut out in tho neck, and worn over n Yest of somo othaor material, or the waist is nl- lowed to run up lo the neck, the effect of tho vost boing sccured by the collar. Tho wbort skirt to bo worn with this cost s one very broad kilting, tho top of which rsaches thoe bot- tom of tho flounce on the basqne. "Fhe dexcription of this jacket sy scom ' fus- 8y " and inelogant; but the garment itself 1s neither; belng really simplo, even sovore, w ap- pearenco, cRrHoOLINE grown smaller and suiniler, and bustlns are di- minishing to & poiut not wholl y incompanble with naturo. The incoming raodes require slight, struight figures, to which drapery and puiliness area disignrenont. Tho (Al women, who require much trimming, and looping, and irrogularity of dokign, to roliave their height, Lliave had thoir day; and now the short women, 4o whom the years of superabundant decoration havo boon a source of discontent, siuso thereby they woro somotimen mado to louk like pigmios, will have their day,—a luuy and bright oue let us lm'ro it will be. . Tho long bustles made of apringa, and rench- dng vearly o the knee—half hoop-skirt in fact— Beoin to bo the favorites. ‘I'hey prevent the skirts 2rom clinging too closely to the form,aud,uow that ‘they aro roasonably small,aro renlly an addition to most figures, Tho whole skirts mude of haircloth, or tho material so-called (it much resemblos moroen, ouly it is mnore wiry), flounced with four ‘or five desp flounces on tho” back-breadths, are exceedingly well adapled for houso-use and demi-train’ drosscs ; but for tho promenado 18 required somothing loss clastic, which will Bustain itself, aud_loavo the limbs freo in their ‘motion, The haircloth-skirts are very expon- sivo, ranging from $9 to $16 and £20, which Ehc“ them beyond the resch of most peaplo.

Aimost the only perceptible alteration is, that the various shades of blue—of which thero are one or two new oncs—aro cousidored more desirablo this luur than tho olive-greens of last. The r‘“mfx that camo in with blue linens and cam- brics in the summor is being followed by bluo berge, oashmore, o new fabrie eallod cumol's hair cashiore, wator-proof, and othor woolen eluffs. Camel's hair coshmoro is like no Frouch caslimero, but g algo & rough, hairy surfaco. It is tho result of the hold the camel's hair cloths took upon tho fominize mind iu the l:rrlug and summer; and many stuffs will be callad again by that seductive pamo, Tho camel’s hair casbmero is doublo width,—ns aro most of the camel'shair finndu.— and costs $3.25 o ynrd. There nre good imita- tions that cost about half that price, and often anewer as well. The decpost shades of colors,—supposed to be Llack, until lusid on black,—are uow, but not rotty, to my thinking, sinco they slways appear liko dingy black. Thero is much comfort in the roturn of bluo as the choicest color, becsuse it is the most univereally becoming of ahy, and thore are 80 mouy shedos _no one ean fuil to be enited. It iz well, if conveuient, to sponge all blue cloths before culting, os the indigo in the dyo is apt to crock, MIXED G00DS ere o dolusion und n &nare.

Pretty soon after ho got back in the louse, and was liokding (ho pebblo in his mouth, snd thinking, with tears of gratitudo in his oyes, of the man who mado the discovery, tho pastor of . Pilastor's church, together with two dea- cons aund & prominent fomale momber of tho Kbidghluy Mission Socioly, made a call: Mrs. Pilastor showed thom into tho parlor, whero Pi-~ Inwter, with the pobble in Lus month, joined thom.

Mr, Pilaster was sitting on & mobuir-cushioned chair, sitting on the very odge, 80 a8 not to injure it, aud was staring in a mild snd forgiving manner at the lady, whon ho suddenly experienced a tickling sensation within his nostril, and wrinkling his nose to prevent it, be broke out in Agnrglil:f noige, and tho nex ivstant his eyos protruded, ho Lounded from tho chuir, throw "bis srms in'the air, and dropped dow on the flaor and inimediately went roiling and kicking undor the contre-table, upsetting that articlo, and strewing the floor with bound books, visiting ‘cards, and wax flowers. Then ho rolled over, and reared u}y, and pounded his heols, and turned blugk in_tho faco, and worked his hands, aud tlrow Lis arma. T'he peoplo were terribly fright- oned, Mry, Pilastor and the memberof tho Khidghluy Mission screamod and wrung their Lhiands, and tried to got out of the door. 5ua of tho deacons got belifud the stove, and the min- istor, who had no doubt it was a case of lydro- phobin, shricked above the din, “Don't bo frightened ladies ; Heavon will protoct us,” and immediatoly crawlod under the sofs, ‘lhé othor doncon was the only ong to retain his presenco of mind, Ho thought it was a fit, and, eatching the unfortuuato Pilaster by the slack of the neth- or gnrment, as ko ovoluted about, he Leld him down, and rubbed the back of his hend with an album, Then ho cnlled the othor deacon to help bim, and both of them foll Lo rubbing the min- ersblo man and pounding e broast, and shak- ing his head, and iu the meantimo Mra, Pilaster fiut a pail of water, and poured it on his headand own bis back. And in the midst of theso ox- traordinary exertions the gmhbls camo up, and rolled on-the carpot without being concolved, but Mr. Pilaster was too weak to toll them, Then the two deacons picked him up and carried him to hia bed, und took off Lis clothes, and tho clergyman started after all tho doctors he Lnew the names.of, Mrs, Pilastor hoated wator, and the femalo Khidghluvor sproad mustard plastors and prepared onion draughts; and ten minutes Iator the wrotched patiest was stoawming in a Dblankot and swarting undor the combined effects of tho mustard and onions, Thon the doctors commonced to arvivo, and prolty soon thers wore soven of thom in the room, and what they didn’t kuow about the caso would have been n wicked waste of time hunting up, The first doctor said it was something with a name an iuch and o holf long, and nine - joints, Then the noxt man fotched up somathiug with a namo still lovger, and Lo was followed by a doctor who bad to it down to pronounce his, At this Mra, Pilaster fointed dend away, and when sho came to the soven doctors wore calling each othor uames of twelve syllablos, and the poor lndy went off ngain, DBy thiatimo Mr, Pilaster hind w0 far rocovered as to rogain his conscious- noss aud somo of his strength, and bounding out of bod with no clothing to spoak of, othor than throo mustard plastors and a couple of onion draughts, he at once put an entirely differont aspoct on® the condition of affairs.” And whon Mry, Pilaster rocovered, and whou the femala momber of the Khidghlay recovored, whioh both of thom did whon tlhey discoveied thora was no ono to usslet thom, thoy found tho room emp- tied, and saw Mr. Diluster neraping mustard from his log and hu\vllmi the most dismnl lun- fiungn dosoribablo, e is botter to-day, we un- orstand—so that he can got aroun street aldittle.

Tho music still continued, coming up through tho night air in waves of ecatatic harmony, Mr, Forcops sat down on tho roof and laborionsly worked his way to tho eaves. Then he lifted bimsolf up to turn ovor and look down, and just then ho stoppod on somothing voft 'snd yiolding, felt hla feot give, made a dosperato clutch at tho shin- glen, was too Inte, gave a piercing sbrick, and shot off the roof, nud wont rovolving and howling .in among the band, followod by the tomatcos, ond madly cleaving the air with his red-flan- noled limbs. He struck ou back on the Luss viol, and with ono leg toro tho entrails from an accordeon, nnd with the other knocked all tho koys from a silver-mounted flute. Tho mau who played tho bnss viol was drivon senselesn into a pile of peabrush, and the flute-playor, with his mouth full of blood and splintors, jumped over tho fonce and fled.

Indeed, I have stucle my legs undor too many Paria tables, and havo sopped the gravy out of too many French dishes, to go buck ou thom at this late day, albeit, I amn coming to tho conclusion ‘that” I profor to dine at home, whorg, if the cooking be not as artistic as that at Voisin's, tho original fabrica which enter into the foast are a groat doal bet- ter, Ihoard Edmund Yates sy last winter,— ard whatever you may think of Edmund's noy- ole, if you had ever met him you would allow that hio has o bolly of unqualified culture and genius—I hoard Edmund Yates say last wintor that tho Bravoort House, meaning, of courso, tho kitchen, is the bost hotel fu tho world, He spoke words of swestness from cavornous doptny unsounded by culinary eccontricities, Delmoni- co's ia also the firat restourant in Christondom, and for the samo reason ; that is, it applics tho art of Franco to the preparation of American food, which is in all respects, in quality, in flavor, in abundance, and in varlety, superior to the food of Europe. Tverything goes by comparison, Tho famo of tho Fronch restaurants weas made by the com- &uinnn thoy offered to the English rostaurants, 'ho English arc a gross, matorial people. Thoy live ou the coarscst food. They are an obstinato poople, and stoadily pursua their bent. anfiy in thomaeives and in their ignoranco, thoy do not wieh to learn, becauso they bolieve, aud thoy aro right in bolibving,_that joy does not coms with wisdom, 8o the Fronch have hiad no com- potition as cooks, and have been oried up to tha wkios by the travelers of every uation. In the samo way the sun of Italy, which is no brighter thian our sun in Amorica, bas beon mado out'a very miraclo of light and beauty by the old Eng-~ 1isli poats, whoso eyes had only gazed upon tho dull Chineeo lantorn that passes for asun in their country, But I wandor away from my text, which wea the ““living” in Paris. Lot us roturn to onr mutton, for it Is, with our beef, about tho bost wo shall got. Tho two staples form tho basis of evorything, By the aid of truflies, mushrooms, and olives, thoy are tortured intd & thousand forme; and, to this extont, one has no right to complain. Ho cannot complain of good beef. Ho can not complain of good mutton. Hoe is an 88 if ho complaine of truflles, mushrooms, aud olives. But, in the long ruu, & man grows tired of e'sn thess luxuries, and ‘.mr.iucu to “hoan” aftor something pluin and simple, aftor somo- thing au naturel, such sa & bit of stowod terra- pin, or a crisp soft-shell orab, or a canvas-back duck, or & pompano, or s plump, fresh partridgo, or & young, contraband proirie-hon, or evon a broiled chickon. He can got none of these in Paris. Their game is nonrl{nlwuya foul, If you got it puro and swest it i by chanco. In oitiow of such magnitude as this_tho koeping of game is a gort of nocessity, This being the fact, tho Parin catorers lonf g0 got out tho notion’ that gome s bottor tholongor 1t 18 kopt,—» rank and oisouous Lo, But it bas got to bo the fashion. am indobted to John Churchill for the practical and conclusive losson that the sooner a bird or a flsh is cooked after it is taken, the bottor it is at tablo, and I beliove this applics to overy spe- cios of dolicato animal food. Nor is this all. Gamo i8 prizod for its gamo flavor, and when it is smothored by oxtraucous applisucos it is spoiled. A partridge, fat and tonder, is 88 good a8 mushroom, Truffles do not improve wood- cocks, The birds can afford to go it on their own Book without any osaistance whatovor. So with such fish o8 tho pompano, tho mountain trout, the jack salmon, and the shad., They aro ablo o stand aloue. Over horo thoy don't stand st all. Tho bost snoll-fish are tho crawflsh and the enail, for tho lobster is indigenous every= whero, and is not to ho counted in the list. Lhey kuoow nothing of tho soft-sholl crab, of the torrapin, or of tho oystor ga & cookablo viand, Their turbot will not compare with our balibut, nor their sole with our shad. The English white-buit is simply s minnow, and onl » triflo botter than the smelt. In soups, which is & thing of condiments, the{ do excol us.

The Amorican prices will rango somewhat higher, certainly, But W0 pay Lfigh dutios on wino, and it is thoro that thio figuros witl ohiofly toll in the bill. Not very ‘much difforenco will be found asto tho dishos. A word or two zbout theso prices, and I way as woll bring this roundabout cusey to o closo. To be sure there is considerable art in ordering » dinner, fovolving both a knowledge of tho Fronoh Ianguage and a knowlodge of tho partic- ar restaurant whoro you ato diniug. Tho American who understands neithor may oxpect to pay 80 por cout moro thau other peoplo, who do, TIgnoranco of every sort, and all over tho world, hina to be paid far, Iut, st tho beat, Lie who oxpects to dina liko a swoll must also expect to sottle like a swoll. T have uover hoard of a good, & first-alnss, cheap dinnor in Partu. At tho Diner de Paris, whore they ochargo you uix franch (a dollarand a Lulf in’ grooubaoku), the food is'all messod and tho wino is sour. ‘Thero is no thoroughly good t{able d'hoto at a fixed prico in Pars, - When you order a la carte you will have to take the consequences, and ¥4 or 84 a hiead will rocura a kquare, ve l-sorved monl,—not gorgeous or elaborate,—and that s all, Tt is sheer nonsonso to talk abuub cLeapness in Paris, If ono is to livo like n dog lot hum stay at home, If hio in to live liko o nabob ho must fotch plenty of mouey with him, aud spond it froely, 'Thiore is not the loast doubt of this, aud the old, contrary ides, founded ou by-gone prices, ought to bo dissipated.

A olover statisticion m_Paris has summod up tho pecuniary results to France by tho lato war with Germany s follows: War indomuity, £6,000,000,000 franca ; futorost on the snmo for tivo yoars, 800,000,000 finncs ; the keep of the German traops, 273,037,000 francs ; requisitions, 827,681,000 francs ; value of objects l;&mu With out raquisition, 264,174,000 france ; war coutri- bution lovied on Paris, 400,000,000 franes, aud s on, till thoe acoount forms a tofal of 6,673,811,000 fraucs, But this onormous sum Is_exclusive of ponsions to the army, the damage dona to mate. Tial, and the nxipuusms of raorgaunization, which wwoll the total to 13,000,000,000 fraucs. The avorago value of a day’s work in France {s nne franc and a quartor ; and thus it would take ous wan 10,000,000,000 daym, or oue million of man tllrty yoars, to work It out. \
