At the' neck and sleeves are frills of purest white crope-lsse, which aro changed esch night. Lace handkerchiefs arc worn with the full-dress toilets, embroidered muslin with lace edge for demi-toilet, and fine ;lmbmjdcred Loen for moruivg aud walking- oxe. OLIVE'S JEWELS are fow, but rare : a superb dinmond cross, sct in silver in tho autique strle,—the dismonds down in the setting ; a_ five-poicted atar, which can be worn in the hair or as & brooch; a large dismond, ruby, aod pearl g, reaching to the joint; and & pair of dimmond _solitaife earriogs, with s pearl-drop which Cloopstrs might have envied.

For the hair, there is a ribbon or ornament for every style of coiffure. Olivo does her hairin the Catogan braid, which she was tho first to in- troduce lrom Paris.

My wardrobe, at tho present time, is part of my business,—stage- trappings,—sceners,—what you will: but I be- lieve in _ the rofining influence of dress, and have no sympathy with glatierns, and no afirmity with Bloomerism, I donot believe in & woman's ruining herself for dieas, any more than I believe in » man makiog a gourmand of himself becauso he likes & gocd dinper.

For soms time past, saye the Dotroit Free kin Press, » Capads negro bas been walking around the Central Market' and * blow- ing” bow many melons he could eat in a given time. It wsa known that he was pretty heavy on melons, snd the American dailaes had to take a back seat and bide their timo. Thursday evening & steamboat fireman, called * Black Betsey.,” stopped off here, wheie he lives, aud ho happened around the markot yesterday morning just when * Tall Jack™ of Canads, was blowing Lis bardest. * Talking ’bout meluns,” sung out * Betsey,” “'bout eat- ing meluns! Wby, &, I kin_oat mora meluns than any two niggers in Kenvedy!” The terms ‘were suon arranged, each coutribnted half a dol- lar, and the dollar bougbt eighteen fair-sized musk 2nd watermelons. They were carried over to a shady epot on Bates street and divided into two piles, and it was agreed that the one who failed to est his nine, or who guit tue first, should pay for all. Both men took off their cost, unbuckled their straps, and went to busi- pess. ‘““Ialk 'bout cating molunsl” sneered Botsey, &8 he ripped ono_in two and made about six moutlifuis of it. ** Yes, taiking 'bout mel- uns—umph !” replied iJack, slioging sway & heap of rinds. Neither of the contestants paid any attention to watermelon seeds, esting thom down, sud the interior of & musk melon was raked out at one handfal, Neither faltered until afier the fourth melon, when the Cenadian be- gan to pick_out the sceds end goslow, His friends rallied him, and he got into the sixth melon a8 Botsy finished his soventh.. * Whoa! boy! what uils ye!” shouted the crowd, a8 Tall Juck looked despairingly around and pibbled onco or twice at his eeventh. He managed to gulp down ba!f of it, and then leaned b Ggainst the fence, slowly pulled out 50 cents, nanded it over, and remarked: ‘‘Somehow I doesn't feel liko eating meluns to-dsy!” Detsey tossed away the nnds of the eighth, bit open and went through the ninth, and as ho reached over and took tho largest one from tue other pile ho yelled, **Mcluns!

An English emigraat, wniting_from Briebane, gives & £ad picture of tho sufferings of Lhose who went out to the Paimer Gold-Diggiugs: ‘5ince the 17th of March.” he says, ‘‘Ihave been very ill, but now, Lam thankful to say, I am perfectly recovered. ‘Since I last wrote I bave had something fearful to undergo, snd I am ope of the lucky oncs to escape as 1 have. Hundreds of poor fellows have lost their lives, aud what fearfal deaths some of them have bad! Some died from starvation, some were drowned, otners were Lilled by blacks, aud bundrods wore carried off by dysentorv. Even grass and rotten Dorse-flesh wore cagerly devoured. There were threo others who started with me. One died, aud the other two are in the hospital, and it is doubtful whether thev will ever recover.

The Situation in the Three Congves- sional Districts, A Glance at the Candidates for Other Offices. List of Delegates to the Congressional and Legislative Convention. ‘Ward Meetings. THE CANDIDATES. The order of the day mn Chicago is—** Politics.” Perhaps at no one time has more general inter- eat been manifested in that particular line of business. Morcantiie houses may fail, banks may burst, insurance eompsnies dissolve, tho Board of Trade grow demoralized, the Beeclior scandal cease to exhilarste, but politics magic trade-~never dies. The politician 1s » living ex- ample that *f HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL in the buman breast.” He is rately cast dovn, never commita suicide, although often defeated. ‘When he bas staked his Jast morsel of ** cheek on the iesue of = campaign, and lost, bhe hides wpot his diminished hesnd, but rines with coursge unnbated, taking for Lis motto, “My tarn next." Every man is not so finely constituted as to die of chagrin, like poor Horace Grecley after the election of 72, or like the famous William Pitt after the defest of the European Coalition st Austerlitz. If such re- suits would follow every political defeat in Chi- cago, neither Alr. Edwards nor the LaReside peo- ple would be able to lift usinto the grand pro- portions of & city with half s million of souls, No, our population would waste away, vear by year, and leave not s wreck behind. Obituary notices would be as plentifal as * Waunted” in tke columns of THE TRIBUNE, and party grati- tude to *' WORKERS FOR THE CATSE™ could only be shown in perpetual funeral pro- cessions and heavy orders on the local under- takers. Political soreheadism rarely results in concussion of the brain, still less in paralysis of the patriotic tongus. Nine-tontbs of our pres- eut candidates for office have been ‘‘before the people ™ about as often as constitutional va- grants have been before the South Side Police- Court, but still they come undaunted aud un- abashed. Could their patriotism be relied upoc 2s much as their audacity, tbey would be the bul- warks of their country. Ot course the CONVENTION OF THE PEOELE'S PARTY on Monday, at the North Side Tarner-Hall, has stirred up all the elomcnts interested more or less in the Coogressional and Legislative nom- inations. Speculation is rife as to the result of the deliberatious of thoe patriots elected to serve a5 delegates to that conclave b the ** primaries ™ last evening. THE FIRST DISTRICT remains in about the same condition a8 when last written of. Mr. Joha B. Rice still appears to be the first choica of the Republican party for Congress. He is supporters have beenjwarking quietly all along, and it 15 a thing almost of cartainty that be will receive the nomination despite of Ald. Dixon's Ploasaatries relativo to his own chauces for a seat in tho National Lesislature. Alr. Rice is keeping very quict himself, bus feels contident of success. Within a few days, however, the name of Mr. Sydney Smuth, the taleuted lawyer, has been freely used in connection with this nominstion, Onlthe:Peoplo’s side, Mr. Bernard G. Caulfield holds an equally prominent posi- tion. He has a few rivals, bucthey are not much considered under the circumstance, more espe- cially as Dan O'Hara and his particular get are allin all for him. Mr. Caulfield. now that he bas taken tho field, 18 working in right down earnest. Judge Wallace, who would be 2 most formida- blo cacdidato, seems to be out of tho way be- cause he cannot be persunded, it is said, to stand. 1 Mr. Caulfield encounters sorious op- poeition in the Convention, it has not yet de- veloped, though it is half expecied from one class of Irishmen who do not feel very enthusi- astic about him. THE SECOND DISTRICT. ‘The Republicana of the Second District claim that Mr. Jasper D. Ward is on firm ground, has his lege woll under him, aod is sure to_dstance “the tield” in the race for the nomination. No Ropublican appears to contemplate_serious op- position to bim, and he may be fairly regarded 28 the nomineo of that party. All is not so #moothon the People’s side of the fence. Carter H. Harison is actively at work, and appears to have taken wtrong bLold among the Irish and Americans of bis gection of the city. The Germans are not particularly inimical to him, aud, taken aliogether, bis nomiuating stock has risen 100 per cent within tho last four or five days. C. C. P. Holden is tnuning on the same track, and claims to have strencth with precisely the same elements, bul nobody appears to have much faith in his ultimate success. Mr. Wilham J. Onabsn bas been spoken of by s certain section of the Irish interested in toe Union Catholic Library Association, of which heis Prosident. The knowing ones soy, how- ever, that Mr. Onahan can have no chance what- ever g0 long as Caulfield is running in the First, “jockoyed” by Dan O'Hara, who has pledged bimself to * Barney " tooth and:nail. Mr. 8. 5. Gardner still makes some faint sizna of coming into} the Convention as a caodidate, ‘bt the impresion has got abroad that judicious friends will have _bis name withdrawn before a ballot is taken. Mr. Gardner may console Lim- self with the refleclion that his brilliancy at ‘Washington cannot blind an sdmiriog world. THE THIRD DISTRICT people, on the Norts Side, are verv much dis- tracted over the Congressional attitude in that section. Charley Farwell, after the withdrawal of Mr. Hesing, Jr.. imagined that he was going to have a nice easy time of it,—in fact, a walk- over. The People's party, however, picked np Mr. Jobn V. Leioyne, the well-known lawyer and affatle gentlemas, and pitied him against the Republican champion. In order to counter- act Farwoll, and checkmate lus little game, many of Mr. A.C. Hesing's friends have bect trying to induce him, for tho sake of the party, 0 take the field for Congress himself, This he abolutely declines to do, and thero is little doubt that Mr. LeMoyne, who is warnly supported by r. Hesing, will be the nomineo. It was rumored on the North Side last even- ing that Washington Hesing would be put for- ward a3 a candidate again, but this is rather im- probable. Anotler candidate spoken of ia NMr. E. I Haines, of Lake County, who is represented as beiug very strong in that section of the Third Dirtrict. Nobody believes that he will come within any decent distanco of being nominated. THE LEGISLATURE. Thera is very little new in the situation as re- gards the contest for the State Legislature. The Bame array of candidates remain in tho field. Very few men of prominence _aspird to the honor of a winter exile to Springfield, that dallest of State Cavitals. Therefors the office of State BSanator, or Leguslator, may be described as going s-bez- ging in our districts. Thers i a general apathy concerning the whola affair, and there appers to ba no opposition of & kind that would maie things lively on that head. Thercfore, on the subject of Logielative candidatos, silenco is golden. THE SHRIEVALTY. The Opposition mli hotd their County Con- vention in tius city on_Oct. 15. The stroggle for the office of . Bheriff will be the great event of tho occasion. So many men, well-known in the People's party, and especially be. longing to the Irish element, are ran- ning for the rame ofiice, that they are literally tramping each other down, They make & long column, all pressivg to tho samo gosl, the rearmnst ranks marching over the killed and wounded, &8 nsual in all great Lattles. In fact, 5 THE IRISH seem to think that they bave a first mortgazeon tha office of Sheriff, thongh why they eLould it is not easy to nnderstand. They havenow in tho City Government the offico of City Treasurer, City Clerk, Tax Commissioner, Member of the Board of Public Works, Member of the Board of Police, the Assistant Superintendent of Police, Bacretary of the Board of Public Works, the Re- corder's office, tha Collectorship in the South and West Towns, a majority of the Common Council, together with its President, a large rop- resentation in all the Boards and officiel circles— » list, in fact, altogether too long to enumerate. The exact political justice, thercfore, of claim- ing the office of Sheriff for an Imshman, with $wo Irishmen rapming for the Comure-zional nominations on the South and West Sides, isnot apparent, though thirty or forty of thee gentle- men are making for it as though it was all their own., Capt. Thomas Brenoan, of Dan O'Hara'soffics, isthe latest candidate wunounced on that eide. though bLe denica eceking it. Everybody knows Capt. ** Towm,” 23 good a man a8 ever lived any- where, which even his opponents will admit, a8 he sars bo doesn't want .the office, and is not likely to get it. Ho would mako the most awk- ward apprentice hangman that ever the suffrages of 8 people lifted to the manage- ment of a scaffold. “Tom" could xover brin himsel! to play ‘‘Jack Ketch.” . ML Cleary is still in the fiold, working like a beaver, and looking like a man prepared to meet defeat with a smile and success with calm philosophy. Frank Agnew, who hss boen a loug time announced, is still abreast with the foremost rank. Ald. John T. Corcoran devotes all the time that he can spare to running for Sheriff. Heis too beavily weighted with the common report of gambling connections to win before tho people, and tho Opposition, it is asserted, will never bs mad enough to saddle jtself with a burden that wonld weigh it down. It was stated around town last night that Aid. Corcoran will withdraw in favor of some other candidate, and if he 18 made to see tho propriety of this under the circum- stances it will be much to bis credit. BMr. P. F. Driscoll is very industrious, and savs that be is goiug to astonish some folks who think they are great men in this town. Johun Comiskey, the only speaker among_the would-be Sheriffs, ia stumring all the wards actively. Charley Kern, 80 often up before where he has always outrun hi ticket in spite of the defeat of his party, bas hung out bie flag again, aud is looked upon 88 among the strongest of the prominent can- didatos. ~ *PLil” Conloy has by no meaus givon up hope, and intends to *‘put in his work " at the Conventiou to-morrow. and Maj. J. W. Brockway i ofticially ont as candidate for the Bhrievalty on the Republican ticket. The Major Las a gallent record =4 a soldier, sad left'a leg at Petersburg, whon the great mine explosion occurred on July 31, 1864, aud is regarded a3 a good man. Col. Owen Stuart, avother soldier, 13 also in the field for the same oftice. Ho slso i8 Capt. Jack Har- riagton, weli-known to the Ninetioth Illinois Tn- fantry. “ Fd " Longley, long licutonant of Tun Bradley’s, 18 in the field against s old commander, aud _speaks of b4 chances with great confidence; but Tin DBradley himself claims to have the “in- side trsck” on the whole concern, and is *‘dead certain” of beinz the nomines of -the Republicans. Ho 18 prooably correct. 1t is now thonsht probable that ontirely new men may bo nomiteced by both sides for the iine, 85 those already ruuuing are pretty gen- f about cqual strength, and each appoars determined pot to yield to the other. ~Among the new men spoken of on the Kepublicau side is Col. James Quirk, formerly of Mulligan's Irish Regiment, of thin State. COMONER. The battle for the Coronership is rather slack, Btephens being in_ the field ayain, threstened ouly by Henry Pilgrim, Frank Lawlor, and Hen- ry Harmes. *“Jack " appears to bo shead just now, slthougk he would much razbsr be ahead for Sheriff. g THE PRIMARIES.

Bpeoches were made by Mesers. Dictmar, Franny, Compten, and Ryan. It was impossible Tor any one to preside over the mosting, 50 great +was the disorder.

A meeting of the Republicaus of the Fifteenth Ward was held last evening at Jacob Miller's saloon, 671 Milwaukee avenue. John Ball was in the chair, and C. H. Plautzacted s Secretary. ‘The meeting seemed to be without an object, unless it was to abuse everybody not voting tho Republican ticket. P. Kiolbosea, E. Thompson, M. Geruhard, J. M. Hawley, Ingwell Oleson, and the Rev. Mr. Holyoke were the speakers of the evening. The Jast named gentleman was the shining light of the sssemblage. Upto April Iast, ho was pastor of the Wicker Park Congre- gational Church. He took great pains to mpress upon the meeting the necessity of tho election of Mr. Ward to Congress. lle talked Ward incessantly, and whea his_voico could be heard above the jostle of beer-glasses. it was in predicting the downfall of the nation uoless that gentioman was re-clectod. The meeting closed with three cheers for Mr. Ward, which were given with grest earccstness by the Rev. Mr. Hicgoke. a PRINTFRS' MEETING.

Rausoats, Eng., Sept. 8, 1674, Rammsgate has loog been & favorite watering- place with a certain elass of the English peopla. Not a resort of those who hold themselives to be the sevres-china among the vulgar crockery of the world: notot the dainty and the nice of the race whose atmosphrers must not be polluted with taint of trade or vile savor of the maoual arts; but of those who fill the lower ranks of middle-class life, who are shopkeepers, clerks, attorneys, etc., earning their bread in a not magoitcent manner ten months of the yoarin London, to launch out into a Creesus-like lavish- ness of expenditure the otlier two months at the seaside. Ramsgate in-the season is AN ELYSIUM"OF COCKNETS,— Londoners of very modlerats means, who hato saved and pinched st home, who have scrimped the joints and made the gravies thin, who bave warn scedy rmment and ebuffied sbout ili-shod ever gince the last summer at the ses, that theso scrimpings and eaviogs may psy for gorgeous summer-attire, for nobby hats, startling costumes, and elegant lodgings on the esplanads or in some of the swoll crescenta at Ramngato or Margnte. Ope needs not to be told thiswho walks upon the cliffs and the sands, or who rests upon tho stone copings of the famous pier st Ramsgate; for his per- ception must be blunt indeed who could not at once discern, in the faces of the erowd sbout him, in the cheap and showy raiment, in the un- cultured voices and coarse laughter that thrust strident noise in amid the music of the solemn sea, the truth that affluence, with its reiining influence of lcisure, travel, and society, is not the atmosphere in which Ramsagate habitues live in their homes, and that neither high birth nor fine breeding has come to them in fate's allot- ment of benefite. Fashion, therefore, aan hardly be the suprems power which FILLS RAMSGATE TO OVERFLOWING snmmer after summer; which crowds the Sands till, to a looker-on from the cliffs above, it zeems a5 1f one person more added to the maes cf buman beings below would be jammed into suffocation; which covers the pier with fiaunting misses and meretricious swells ; which packs lodging-houses from basement to roof ; which makes the white wavea to roll upon the shore dotted black with the heads of count- less bathers every day from the last of June to the lzst of September. Hardly fashion, nnless it bo the fashion of a cheap and vulgar sphere which knows not Brighton snd Scarborough, which reigns not in the German Spas, and has 10 rench of the sceptre to the famoualy-radiant watering-places on the Freuch coast,—no realm except in the dingier portions of London, and in Ramegate and Margate. But, if fashion does not throng Ramsgate ench year, it is still not withont reason tuat the festive Londoner clings to this place year after year, and almost decade after decade. 1TS NEABNESS TO THE XETROFOLIS is one secret of its popularity, as eass of zccess to London is & paramount eesential to tho bread-winner, whoss journeys to aud fro must be numerous while the home in the city is closed, and Mamma and the bairns are galloping on the cliffs, or building castles in tho eand, in the mvigornting breozos which sweop in _from the Channel upon the coast of Kent. —Much money or time must not be consumod in these transits, for Mamma must bave many sbowiiy- trimmed dresses; tbe girls must blossom out into an offerveecence of color and briliiancy of costume ; the children must bave new suits for dinner, for bath, for promenade, end for eveu- ing: the family must fare more sumptuously evary day on the best the market affords, or be subject to the withering contempt of the lodg- ing-house mist®™ee; so, tako it altogether, it 18 clearly impossible that largo traveling expenses sbould be added to the already harassing ontlay, aud the nearest seaside place absorbs the feative family. Ramsgate is situsted where two small hills roll d?iwn to the cbalk precipices bordering ko sonth side o TIIE ISLE OF THANET. This Isle of Thanet is a slight projection of the coast of Keui, stretching out 1nto the Ch®nnel from the east, snd is mado an island, on threa sides of tho sea, and on one side by & tiny river which cuts it off from the mainland. From Lon- don it is reached by the London, Chatham & Dover Railroad (or London, Smashum & Furn- ovar Railroad, as it is called 1 Londoa partanc~, by resson of the frequency of its accidents), by the Southeastern Railroad, or by sea in small steamers that make the trip each day, consuming about six hours in_the voyage to and through the Thames to the city. The town is between 70 and 80 miles from the metropolis, and has its life only in the annual overflow of London tides, sinking with every yoarly ebb into s stagnation of being that lasts till the streams of city-lfe flood it in, To the south of the town, at 8 distance of 21 miles, lies Dover. Nearer is Deal ; Margate is 4 miles around tha other sde of the little isle; ‘hile famous old Canterbnry—whers Thomas a- Becket was slsin, and where the grand old cathedral draws daily, with the forceful msgnet- ism of ita history, its associations, and itsarchi- tecinral magnificonce, numerous excuraionists from far and near—lies 17 miles inland.

At low tide, 7 miles out, between England and France, may bs seen the Goodwiu Sands; more to the souta. the Downe,—the most famous apchorage in the world, with ite forests of masts writing the story of o nation's commercial prosperity upon the aky. Tho Channel is the groat bighway of nations, and between tho North Foreland snd the Diwos, botween which Kamsgate stands, passes the wholo ocean-traftic of Northern Europe and tho Thames,—passing 50 mear tho shores of Hent that the whole wes is alivo with ships of every flaz,—making & Mot intercating and heat- tiful picture.
