Politics and society are antagonistic. The men who make palifica a profession are not gen- erally those who live 10 brown.stone fronts, nor do their wives and dsughters give and astend {ashionable receptions. Hence in ordinary local campaigas the arbit of society is not distorbed or eny way affected. Tharo are oocasions, how- evar, whep great interests are involved in the election or defeat of certmn candidates, and whea even eociety people are aronsed from their sccustomed indifference, and the chances and greculations of politica are discussed in the drazing-room. Such has been the case thissea- son, spd the course of society events has been acoordingly somewbat inferrapted. That the in- terruption bas not been severs, however, may be seen in the foliowing review of the social movements during the vast six days. ——— PARTIES AND RECEPTiONS. THE FEALY RECEPTION.

Cashmere ood silk, cashmere and velvet, bro- eade and satin, aud, for evening wear. silk and ganze, are numbered with the favorite combina- tions for costumes after the latest models, which do not admit of toilets of one material only. The black silk costume is more worn than ever, if such & thingis possible. Bilack bro- eaded eilk, associated with plain gros grain, fur- nishes the materiat for elegant dresses, and isa rewer, though uot more popular, combination than silk and velvet. In these last, the velvet conetitutes with equal propriety either the bodice and the overdress, or the under-petti- coat. Black velvet lower skirts are now as gen- erally worn as silk opes. The brocaded cashmeres, at last fairly in the market, us beasy as drap d'ete, and, having raised silk fig- ures, are largely used 28 overdresses to be worn with the velvet petticoaty In fact, these and other of the choico woolen fabrics and velvets are among the most stylish combinations. In woolen goods is a new fabric showing stripes in faint shades, over which are indefinite figares of leaves, vines, etc.. known a8 siave cloth. This is designed to go with the plain cloths. Toilets made entirely of one materisl are fre- ently ornamented with heavy embroidery in ifferent but harmonious ehades; or are trim- med with the metallic galloons 8o much worn in Paris, sod growing somewhat in favor bere. Abroad these metal galloons enter largely into the garnitore; two shades or more of the same color are found quite effective; as, for instance, on brown material, desd,- bright, and red gal~ loons. On black, iroo or steel galloons are ad- vised; on dark gray, ateel galloons ; and on light gray. silver gallooos. Notwithatanding the fact, however, that these conspicuous trmmiags are growing in favor, the mohair and silk braids in Dasket-woven and other designs, coming in black and in the soft shades of color, are much oftaner chogen bere. A costume seen illust:ating these and other late modals was of biack silk, made up in com- bination with biack velivet, and trimmed with soutache braid, showing threads of gold and sil- ver. The silk skirt had an extensive flounce of velvet got on in clusters of quadruple box-plaits spplied to its_back breadtbs, snd forming its traio. This flounce was finished around the bot- tom with seven rows of the soutache braid, four af the rows beiog of the gold, and the remainder of the suver braid. The froot and side widths of the skirt were devoid of all ornamentation. excepting a wids band of the velvet edged on the lower side with the gilt sontache, and on the upper with the silver moutache braid. A tablier simulating two aprony had the lower one finisbed by & heavy silk piping, and the npper one with the braid to match the lower skirt. The bodice was a cuirasse basque With its turn- down collar and sieeves ornamentod with yelvet banda edged with the gilt and silver sowsache. The new polonaises, 80 rarely seen on the im- ported suits, are now universally recommended here by the , and are much worn. The Marguerite back, cut off in the middle scama to form n basque across the tournure, gives one of the most simple and, st the same time, favorite styles for this garment. In all the shapes is no~ ticeable the tendenoy to follow the French fashion in doing away with elaborate and bouf- fans drapery. One of Worth's handsome dress- es, recently imported, has introduced a variety called the pelisse polonaise. This is a double- breasted frock cost shspe, baving the skirt nin the back, with pockets on either side. All polonsises are.as s rale, simply trimmed, many of them having mera faciags of some becoming and harmovious color on the collar or cuffs, and up and down the edges, which fall open. A favorite collar is the small Byron. The ekiirts to be worn with_those garments may be made with two or three flounces aparc from each other, put on, either ip Bussian or koife plait~ ings, or in clustera of treble box-plaits. An ex~ ample of a popular style of polonsige Is given in s single-bresated long princees, having only one dart in each front. The long seams of this model extend down over the back, and under wide saan ends coming from the side seams aud tying in the centre of thejtournure. Underneath the gneh ends falla & deep kilt plaiting that ex- tends the back of the ekirt to ite proper length, Oue of these garments was made of natte silk, and was buttoned up its entire front with but- tona to mateh, covered with the natte, or basket- woven silk. Very pratty styles of the polonsise are also given for children. One, intended for little girls from B to 13 vesrs of age, is shaped in front after the maoner of a loog high-necked Ton, With the back of the waist terminating in & Bquare basque, buttoned up at the back ; the side pieces pass around under the basque, com- ing together, to fall spart below it in aloog pointed-skirt. Rreat reaction iv the matter of out-door toilets demands a little addition to the costume of acaps, ue, wantle, or other separste Wwrsp not woin in the house. All these outside garments continue to grow Istger, and are still much trimmed with soutache, crochet braids, and fringes, and metallic gallooos as well as the far and leather banas, Novel:ies in fancy goods are sieen in Matelarse and basket-woven ribbons, coming in sash-rib- bon widths and showing new designs in colors and figures ; also in the buttons now offered to match the basket-woven and metallic braids. The dog collars and Joan of Arc belis, since they bave been. introduced in the jewelers' shope, exhibit fresh patierns, and are gotten up in mlver plate and gold gilt, which render them not only much more costly but decidedly more tasleful in sppearance, A preity necklace is also seen in ds of velvet ornamented with sver Marguerites. Armlets of gold and of sil- ver are composed of several very narrow bands, often as many 88 seven, fastened together by s long, parow buckle underneath, to spread apart on 1op over the wrist. These armlets are also made in shell and jot.

Supcrb Gems at a Parisian Jew- elry Eistablishment. Incidents of the Visit of the German . Emperor to Milan. The Famous Breviary of Cardinal @ri- mani---A Breton Romance, A French Tmperialist’s Fate, SUPERB GEMS. Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to the Phila- . delphia Telegraph: The other day, lo porsu- ancas of my intention.of looking up those lead- ing houses in Paris that intend to exhibit at our Centennial, I paid & visit to the splendid jewelry catablishment of M. Boucheron, 1 thé Palsis Royal. Such delicacy of workmanship, smeh lacework in gold and silver, such délicate enam- ols, and such carefully chosen pearis sud precious stones had never bafore delighted my gaze. One of the tirst things that.was exbibited to ma was arose with buds and foliage all of the size of pature, all of diamonds, and adapted to be worn 1n the hair. Every petal in the flower and every leaf and bud on the stalkc were mounted on steel springs, 20 that the whole hed the clustic grace and mobility of mature, and vet every pari was perfectly strong. A coronet of dismond wheat-ears, mounted in the Bame Wiy, was also shown, 88 well a8 an exquisite pansy sad a deheate spray of seed- grass, all of diamonds, and all intended for the bair. Specimens of the new transparent enamel is not laid on gold as in the ordinary style, but is get oo tiny plagues in s light framework of gold, 80 38 10 give the effect, when the light is shining through it, vf & miniature s‘ained-glass window. The colors are the most vivid hues of ruby, emerald. and sapphire, 8o that the effact i8 extremoly rich. As enamel is & liquid befors it is submitted to_the action of fire, it will b seen Low difficult it must be to producs it in this traneparent form. This new ivention is par- ticalarly saited for earrings, as in such orna- menta the it has an opportunity of shining through and showing off the vivid tints of the eusmel. The ornsments decorated by this new and difficult process are extremely costly. I wes shown & tiny Dbonbon- niere of most exquisite workmanship in this style which is valued at 91,600. A pow invention in ewrrings was next dis- played. Each earring rapresents a cord, drawn np in the mddle in a single loop, and with two long eads of unequal dengthk; the cord ig composed of small sqaarc_dismonds, aod is fin-, ished at cach end with a single pear-shaped dia- mond of grest beauty. A Emall scrow passes through the hole in the wearer's ear, and when the ornament is adjusted tho sffect is produced of & cord of dismonds drawn through the.ear. Four thousand dollars was asked for this novel and splendid tricket. Next I was called upon to admire a gorgeous, but tasteful and most ex- travagant, adarnment for s lady™s arm. Fora year or two past, the only bracaleta in vogue among Pansian fashionables ltave been the slender. porte bouheur circlets, ecarce brosder than a thread, of which six or seven are fo be worn on one arm {n Orientsl fation. Before me, therefore, was placed s met of thess slender bracelots which had just heen prepared for & young Russian Conntess. Tbere were sev- en of them, each one set with a single pearl or precious stone, surmounted with Gmmonds, com- vrising a black pearl, a pink one, & white one, an emerald, & sappbire, a ruby, and adismood. A delicste arm thus adorned wonld be dazziing to behold. More artistio and more Tesdly gracefal was & bracelet composed of five stxings of pesrls of gradusted lengths, the largest being quits long enougn to gorve for a necklace, while the shortest was just of a sufiicient length to drop gracefully from the arm. To the imside of tha Clasp, which was of dismonds, & slight but strong gold circlet was affixed, wiich, fitting the arm closaly, permitted the strings of pearls to bang loose 10 most picturesque fashion. A locket, composed of a single black pestl o8 large as a good-sized cherry and surrounded _with great pure _diamonds, next claimed my attention, as did also a bracelet, locket, and earriogs, all of the choicest hiamonds ss regards size and water. The parure, more gorgeous if less mathetio than those I had been examining up to that time, was valued at 922,000, Butthe greatest marvel of artistic workmanship was & tazza of oxfdimd silver, en- smeled after the style of thecelebratod Limoges ensmels. The bottom of the cup was occupied by & scene reprosenting a knight on horseback ac by & nude nymph withs flame upon her brow—the beguiling Will-o'-the-Wasp. Thebar- der was wrought in & delicate arabuatue of flow- ers and vioes, and was_further ‘decorated wth satyrs’ heads in euamel. This marvel of work- manship was gotten up for the Vienness Exhi- bition, ana it is. now destined fce ours: 1t is valued at $1.600. I caonot eoumerate the half of the exquisite articlea tnat were displayed be- fore me,—periectly matched peaw-shaped pink pearls, 'like petrified rosebuds; an oval an- tique diamond, once_sn_heirloom in a nobls bouse, with s faint rosy ungo_flushing its splendor : & brown diamond, unique in tint ; a paper-cutter of gold, with tho handle set with diamond foliage; a gold opera-glass, starred with dismonds aud rimmed with pearls, and other costly toys withous number.. Last of all, the diadem now in preparation for the Centen- nial was brought out and placed before me. It was ordered by an Austrian Princess, who has Kindly losned it to ML Boucheron for exlubition. 1t ia entirely composed of rubies and dismonds, each stono having been salected with peculisr care. It coosists of a band of rubies and diamonds, above which rises & pow of fleurons formed each of a large ruby set in dismoods, snd alterpating with eingle Iarge pear-shaped dismonds of the finest water. Right in front the diadem rises in a flenr-de-lys-shaped orna- ment which msy bedetached and worn asabrooch, a emaller one taking its placo in that case. The centre stone of this ornament is almost unique in commerce : it is an immense ruby of a glow- ing firo-red hue far parer than the ordinary bluish red of rubies in general. Were it ot for amilky staia that crosses this superb gem it alone wonld be worth $10,000. The whole value of thie regal coronet was 40,000, THE GERMAN EMPEROR AT MILAN. Milan lettere, describing the visit of the Em- peror William to that city, give the following iocidenta: As the procession advanced, popnlsr oxcitement seemed to Wax greater and greater, and when the two Warior Kings turned into Lh.a Corso Vittorio Emmanuelo, the welcoms cuimi- nated in a tempest of shouting and dutle-mains, the Iike of which, Lam assured, has not been heard in Milan for sixteen years. In the Piazza det Duomo at loast 40,000 people were crammed together in such sort that you would bave imag- inod not ome of them could have had breath to groan with, much less shous. But they did shout with aveugeance, Everything that could beclimb-~ ed upon about the Cathedral was clustered with humaa beings, the scaffoidings of tho improvised porticoes, the shop fronts, the newspaper ki- osques,—all,all were crowded, blocked.stuffed up, eecaladod, physically hidden, and obliterated by masses of laughing, yellmg. kerchief-waving, band-clspping mortality. Suah a cheerfal, good-tempered, courteous throog could only b'a’ found in Northern Italy, where * educazione, by which i ot in the Jeast meant what we term education, but rather culture of mannera, is at apogee. 2= IMX hnlse just heard from a friend in the bonse- bold a charming traitof the Re Galantnomo, with which I roust conclude this burried letter, 25 the mail Teaves at 8:30. The Emperor. for s year or two past, has experienced considerable inconvenience in mounting on horesback, to ol viate which a broad borae-block or raieed stage, Jevel with the stirrup. ia invariably eet up for him in Germsuy whersver he may_have occasion to take horse,—which, indeed, 83 he disiikes ox- hibiting this shght infirmity, be generally does in s ocourt-yard or other inclased space, oat of his_soldiers’ or the public's sight. This peou- lisrity of his was made koown to Victor Kman- uel by the Master of the Horse, whereupon the Kiog had erected in the private court of the Palazzo Reale not only a mounting stsge for the Emperor, but also one for himself, side by side with that "destined_to the use of his Imperial guest, thongh the King can swing himse!f into hia saddle as vigorously 88 he ever could.

It ia on publio exhib- tion every Wednesday at S o'clock, but you can have onlya partisl view of it, of coursa, with some twenty porsons crowding about it, and the ewift turning over of the leaves by the impatient hbrarian, who is very courteons, to be sure, bat who looks terribly bored.

A letter from Brittany to the Metropolitan, de- scribing a fete-day of the Virgin, says: White- robed women came and gathered at the church- Now and then one came wearing a vestal veil of white, through which her ruddy cheeks glowed vivialy, and her not too beantiful features ap- peared softaned and womanly. These had been appointed by the prieats 88 bearers of the sacred image, and no youog Breton girl wishes or dares torefuse this service. Itis a high honor, and signifies that the honored one possesses piety. chastity, and all household virtues. One girl, prettier than her companions, was noticeable for her shyness and nervousness while the priest was placing the eacred effigy upon its proper platform for exoursion abont the town. Just as the four white-velled young women wers about to fift it upon their shouiders, a blue-bloused, savage-looking man- rushed into the eancta- ary, snatched the veil from the head of the most delicate of girls, tore it, and trampled it into the rough stones of the cathedral floor. The girl dropped upon her knees before the priest, aod rung her bLands in sgony, bat her voice conld not be hoard above the raving of her father. The priest lifted the girl and stood he- tween her and ber father, who had thus publicly ‘wreaked upon ber the most dreadful vengeancoe known to s Breton maiden. While the wild stir was throbbing throngh the temple, s young man, doubtless brought by a messenger, ent: aad to him the priest held out his baud, publicly be- trothed the frightened girl to bim, and told them to return for marriage at 8 o’clock that night. It was explained to us thatin Brittaoy no youog woman is permitted to wear & veil and assist in bearing the image of the Virgin, if she has been guilty of willfal siv, and this yvm creatore had refnsed to keep ® promise ehie had been per- suaded to make her father. She had refused to marry s fisherman friend of his own, who was to come in from the sardine shores of Fin- isterre when the sesson was over, and make the gul his bride. Inthe meaotime she had given ber heart aod promise to a young man of the valley who bad never even looked upon the ses. The griut ‘was & manly voung fellow, and we admired him, becauss he 8o heartily lrml?'- thized with the young pair, and sen! the father raging out of the sauctos After = little while anotber young woman was veiled, and the rocession started, leaving the betrothed pair eoling in front of one of the altars. The father cast himealf from the high city wall, that night, at & 8pot where it girdles the edge of the hill that overlooks the river, and where the ivy grows i wild masaes that can never be imsgined by au American who pets and cosves this ob- siinate vina to twine for & few fect along his walls, and then sees it turn yellow and refuse to tbrive. Into this tangled mass the poor frantic wretch of & father threw himself, and oniy broke a leg. when he 1ntended to take his ufe. He wos found next day, hus leg properly dressed, and he wxs sentenced, not a long time after, t0 & year's imprisonment for attempting suioide. = A FRENCH IMPERIALIST'S FATE.
