It is now no longer to be doubtad that the old style of bonnet, tho capote, is the provailing ghape. This shape maynece:sitato quite a revo- lution in the msnner of srranging the hair. ‘There i8 o litle hesitation on the part of mod- intes, who do not want to change the fashion too abruptly, as tho fair sex i3 prone to cxaggerate, and excess is ahways to be fearod. At all events. it may fairly be atated that tho bold stslo is on the declina ; the upturned flaring brims, fasten- cdup onoue side, and the foathers and largo cockades, ars all approaching their end. Though tho capote iy a very modest shave, very few per- £ous havo as yet ventared to adopt it, many hav- ing found it too eccentric. This secms strango, bt upon closo cxamination can be readily ac- couated for. The czpoto has as yet only bben, made of satin, velours epingle, or piush in the tightest colors, such as biue, white, '2and piok, with haudsome barbes of ecru lace. The general effoct is very elegant. The capote, to be stylish, must have o large soft crowa, which forms the cape by meaus of a shirring. Tho brim is en- tirely shirred. Tho lining is very conspicnous, both front and back, and must therefore be in rerfoct barmopy with the remainder of the bounet. For the bonnots of the present some employ flowers, but the most fashionable establishmenta inclino altogother to the use of feathers. Barbes of white English lacs or cream-colored llama are tho caprice of the season. Cream-colored tulls is used in the greatest profusion. Scarfs are of creara-colored tulic. Rarbes of cream-colorad llze encircle, the meck, bedeck the head, and cover tho face. Tho fashion is versy trying. There is cream-colored blonde, which i much more effective, espocislly for Castilian mnotlcs or opera clonks. White-figared tolle- blonde will also be worn, but cream color has the preference. Straw color is likely to roplaca now the geason in which to give special attontion to evening toilets. It is udvisable for ladies who go out a greatdeal in the evening to bhave two handsome bleck dresses,—one of veivet and the other 'of rilk. , It is also necesssry to have black and white laces, which are readily emplored foralmost any_toilet; with these and somo skill inre- leeting the Lropor accessories, o grost deal eon be accomplished with dresses that are mot per- fectly new. Ifor instance, add to a black dresy a train of anotuer material or color, with sashes 10 corregpond, and ornament Wwith shell-shaped Iace trimminge and loops of ribboua; thus the dress will be eqnal to now. There can bo added to the front of the toilet & plastron-tablier, & la Jaivo, in some baght ecolor, which is gracefully draped and fastened in tho back. A Drincoss- shaped dress, on cuirass and trained gkirt, can Dbe made very elegant without any alteration, by using two shawl points of embroidered crepa de Chine, sursk, cachomire des Indes, embroid- erod mouseline des Indes, or lace. These points ars fastened to tho waist in front und erossed overthe aprou, fallng in the back from the paffs over the train. A_waist 10 correwpond with this dress is thus made : 1t is cat sguare in the neck, the uiauing being filled with tho same material 3 the shawl-poiuts—with, forin- stance, crosm-colored surak very closely shirred. T'ho sleeves are of the eame muterial, or ouna- mented with velvet jockeys and cuffs. Daut fow low-necked dresses have been soon 23 ret, ths open waists beimng preforred. For ex- 2mple, a black velvet waist iscut sguarein front and surrounded by point laze; a Colwiile tullo fichu is placed on the ingide, and on oue side is & buoch of flowers. The Lonis XV. sleevos aro of tulle, correspondiog with the fichn, cod are fzsteued at the wrist by & bsnd of velvet and a raflo of point lace. 5 Fichn collarettes of velvot and various oxpen- sive materials aro worn over plaiu waist, nod gorve for any wilet; they sre also made of plain materials for ordinary wear. Itis probablo that” white will be cclipsed by velvet for evening wear this wintar. Llondes, t0 whom this color is oxceedingly unbecomiog, will wear it notwithstandiug. 3lany opera clonks are made of broche goods. A vory elegant modelis of heavy soft estio, with white grounding, and s fine, closo cache- mire figare, the trimming consisting of mara- bout fninge and teseels mall the cclors of the design. XY Ball fans have not varied in size. Fans for theatre use are, on tho conlrary, very large. Loglish point lace- 2nd Chantilly ate employcd, with mother-of-pearl orivory motntinga. Paint- ing in Louis XVL. style aud flowers are alsoiu vogue. & now style of underskirt for evoning wear cousists of a kind of scaffolding strangly con- structed. arrepged in monny tlouuces aud ski fully drawn 80 as to extend all the way down in fan form, the train hanging over it admirably without the sssistance of oiber ekirts. It s very light, maing the figure slender, and yot sllowing perfect liberty to the body. Thereis 1o toile that this phonomenal skirt doos not comblete. Another novelty in this line is the drawing of a band of rubber through tho lower Lem of the upper whito skirt ; o fiounco falls over this to conceal it. This is to avoidall superfluous fullness under the tight kirt. A beautifal ball dress may be thus made: The front of tho skirt is covered with_straw-volored puffiugs of grenndine, arranged 1o dismond shape; tho lower part of the skirt is covered with blonde flounces; the faillo train turns over attho sides in revers, formed altogether of biss plait- mgs; the back part of the train is trimmed with flounces aud puffings ; ovor this 18 another tain of etraw-colorad tullo, worked in_silk and trim- med with blonde; it is taken back and ornament- ed with ribbon bows; a loug garisud of fiowera 1zlls from the waist in front, down the side ard over the train; suother spray fails over the rib- bon bows, to each of whicl it is fastened; tho faitle conslet is cut in scallops at the bottom snd trimmed with black aad slver polloon: the short sleoves aod low peck wro trimmed with puflings of grensgine eod tulle; a bunch of towers adorns the front of the waist. - There is & fringe called postilion which is much in vogue ; it13 composed of small woolen tassela called **houppettes,” all in one color. Another called * Madrileuo fringe,” is of Dlack checked cordonnel from which depend emall silk balls in yeliow, red, blue, ond many other colors, the effect of which is charming. This fringois 1made ia various combinatious.. — e ds Ono of the newest fashions among the elite is the use of precious stones for buttons or fasten- ings_for elegant fur garments. No jeweis are considered too costly for this purpose. Pockets have assumed coasiderablo impor- tance. It would be heresy to attempt to mako & dress st present without an ornamental pccket, aod not to place the pocket on Wwith somo chic would betray the greatest lack of tasto. This 1mportant suxiliary must be very conspicuoasly arranged, detached from the costume, 2ud si- ways in gight, wherever it may be. Tie pocket may be false, but mast always eopear real, If it has but litlo dopth thero can bo s slit made comnecting Wwith the pooket placed-underneath. lu this manner tho usefnl is combired with 3he ornamental. Pock- ets aro generally made of the samo material 38 the dress end trimmed with similar trmmings. Tne forms are various, aud they are placed on the side of the apron or ot Lhs beck of the bips, in o Btraight line or on & bias, and are oo all arments. There are also mauy aumoniercs, which replace pockets apd depends from the side by chaios, ribbons, and rings, or haug [rom the srm like a bag, in which case they are gen- erslly of beaded sillk net work lined in bright colors.

Kid gaizers, black £atin gaitews for evening wear, the blscic velvet Louis XV. shoe, bordered with far, for after- noon wear, and the gaiter with bars across the top, for home recaptions, are, with slight varia- tious, the present shapo. The small velvet and #atin gaiters bove covered hocls for parlor use. Tho toes aro very much pointed. Slippors are made iu the most olaborats mannor of satin and velvet, embraiderad with beads, silks, and trim- mings of yolden lace. The coiffure o Is Prusse is in decided favor ot oresent. The front hair iscrimped, and thick Lraids are Lwisted around the back of the biead. Two long braids fall down the back.

The Lateiy-Deceased Ifusiapha Pacha, Brotier of the Kbhedive. Christmas and English Habits in Paris --Anecdote of Dajazet, An- American Ball in Paris---A Foggy Night in fhe French Capital-s- The Princess Marguerit i, MUSTAPHA PACHA. A Peris lotter to the Boston Advertiser says : The nows of the death of Mustapha Fezyl Pacha, iu the prime of manhood and the planitade of force, has made a great impression upon the Pansians, who, in days gone by, witnessed the Asintic spleador of his life, and the prodigality which, oven in the midst of prodigal Paris, dur- ing the most luxarious days of the Empire, wont beyond znything cver heard of or seen here. Itostapha Fazyl Pacha was the only brother of Ismail Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt, 2nd, according to tho laws of that country, was his rightful suc- cossor; but tho present Khedive, being an am- bitions man, desired to found a dynastyon Earopesn principles, azd moke sure of his sons reigning after him; so ho took advantago of the cxenees which his brother’s turbulent tomper afforded him to declare war to the knife, 2nd, as 13 always the case, the stronger got tho botter of it; and Mustapha, who, with bis ldhuxantsl and l partisan, had becomo quito n formidable sort ! § of Oriental Duc d'Orlesus, was conquered and exiled. As the Khedive had oniy to turn the couree of the Nile from his brother's possessions to roin him, Mustaphs had the good sense to ac- cent a compromise, in tho shape of 30,000,000 , 1r2nes (£6,000,000), and relinguish all immediato | pretensions to throne or property in Egypt. This |:Sutz, which would have been o handsome fortune for most men, was buta wretched pittance in bhis hands, aud 2 fov seasons at Baden and Hom- burg, joined to his personal expenses in Paris 2nd the keeping up of hisharem at home, wasted it away like sand in the bed of a rapid river, and ho was soon glad to accept tbo Sultan’s offer, and go to Coustantinople, where his intelligence and cosmopolitan education soou secured to him an influential and lnceative position. His pas- sion for gambling (which is 036 common to most of hia countrymen) bocame forcibly modified in his quist Asiatic rosidenco, and his leisure hoturs wers pessed 1n playing progaio_bezique with one "or the other of his courtiers, who took good cara uever to win, for Mustapha, thouga an ardent, wzs 2 very bad, plaser, always losing his tomper when he lost a geme, and being in the bost of humor when he won, no matter how in- significent 2 sum. If I remomber rightly it was in 1859 that tho Ehedive obtained authorization from the Sultan to transmit the crown of Lgypt to his kon, and tbome who know of Mustapha Pacha’s hopes and of his irrepressible ambition will understand what 2 blow he susteined. but he had learned wisdom Dby experience, and, feeling how useless it wss to battle egainst a stronger destiny then his own, he bowed 30 it, and, having withdravn from afl - trigne, devoted his intelligenca to the affaics of ‘Turkey. TheSultan became very mach attached 10 him, and no one iu Constantinople had mare iufluence, To appreciate this it was oniy neces- eary to witness ono of his Friday receptions (Fri- day is the Mussulman’s Sunday), when the Ori- outal dignitaries came to present their homeges. Eutering the saloon with bent backs, hands crosaed, 2nd with deep humilitv approaching the elevation upon which a gilt arm-chair, presenting much the appecrance of a throne, waa occu- pied by the Prince, they kissed tuo hem of his garment, and then, with evident satisfaction, tacked to distant divans. where they awaited his orders to approach or withdraw. Under bat cne circumatance did the roles change; and that was when a priest, or o of & priest, wearing the grean turban which designated him to be a de- #cendaat of the Prophet, prosented himself. 1t “ was then His Royal Haghness Mustapha Tazsl + Pacha, whoross from lus seat with bent back ® ana crossed hands, and, sdvancing to mees his ‘ respected visitor at the eatrance, kigsed the hem jof lr)n.s gorment, and remained standing until he withdrew. Mustapha's last years have been Passed in simple nsefniness.” Mo married one of his daughters to EKhalil Pacha, his best and oldest friecd, snd in their company seemed to enjoy real dcmestic happiness. Since he re- nourced sbsolnsely to aspire to the Egyptian throne, bis brother, the Khedive, became as sirong a friend as he hed been enemy, and we nndoratand Las shown every mark of grief at Hustapha Pacha's eerly desth. He was nat 50. i i . CHRISTMAS IN PARIS. ! Christmas Day (esys & Paris correspondent of { the New York ZTimes) was colebrated in Paris ' more geaerally thao I have ever seen it before; and the fact shows that tho great Anglo-Saxon bolidsy is meking rapid hesdwey in France, + Sinee the French began to take to field-sports, Engtish habita and customs have beon imported in considerable numbers, aad it is now the chic, or “gwell” thing, to'be a8 English as possibla. The young mon of the clabs, who follow tho English sporting fashions, bave long been in the habit of inviting their friends to dine at the English taverns in Paris, where they could get *“blecding rosst beef,” and meats barely warmed through. To eat beof from which the biood was dripping demonatrated one’s cogui- sanco of English tables and English habits, This year, hombers of young ewells visited their {riends to partexe of an English. Christmas dinner at these tavorns, with the rosfbif saig- naniz washed dovn by tankards of foamy ale, aud at the end of the repast a veritable plum- puading, pronounced here ** plum-p r Al ¢ wmust sy that these dinners are excellent in their way, and furnished ate vory reasonable price, 5o that youngz men of limited means are ensbled to display English proclivities without greatcost. Thera was another innovztion which is worth noting. Large t}nau!ilins of holly and mistiotoe were imporied from England this year for salo in the varions markets, and sll on hand went off immediately at comparatively large pricag, tho transiations of Scott and Dickens hav- 1ng informed the French as to whzt etora the En- glish set by theso shrubs. Enough kolly to deco- rate & room, 8ay twenty sprigs, sold readily for 10 francs, and on Christmas morning I caw numbers of men carrying branches of holiy and mistletoa home from the msrkats. Reveillon was generally observed an Christmas-Eve, and thers werea number of balls in varions parts of the city. At tho churches we had Clristmas showa of nonenal magnificence. St. Roch in particalar being decorated in a superb maoner. The stobls in which the infant Cbrist is born was veory effectively arranged, the figures being ex- tremely paturat and artistic. Midnight mass ot the Madeleino is attended by tho mombers of the grand monde. Chbristmas Day was lovely, —quito like & day in tho month of May,—and ia consequonce the,streets were deneely erowded. The baraques, alreedy opened, did a thriving business from morniog to uight. Speaking of English_sports above reminds me of an item which I may ss well pat in bore. Among the sports introducod into Franco from England are Jalcouing and fishing with cor- morants. After a_great deasl of patience my friend AL De Is Rue, formerly Inepector of Forests, succoeded i training two birds, and they have been the delight of French gociety. Persons who gave bunting parties at their chateaus vied with cach otker in_obtaining tho compauy of M. De ia Rue sod cor- morants, for_he furnisned a 8port in which the Izdies coutd join, Tom and Burt were vory in- tolligzent birds, znd would bring out their fish to deposit them at the feet of the ladies—that is to 2y, they ran at onco toshelter themselves under tho Indies’ skirts. Naturally, M. De la Rua set grost store by lus bicda. The other day ha was iuvited to a chateau in the MHdi. and wentout'in the morniug to train bispata. They weresitting upon tho bank, o few yards away, watching for figh, when a sbot laid Tom dead, and before M. Dala Rue conld stop the hunter he had killed Burt with the second barrel. The hunter wss a buteher from tbe city, who thus bagzed game for which, alive, M. Do la Ruv_had been offered 3,000 francs. The blow nearly killed him, but ho bas now gone to England to get more birds, and meana to try it again. DEJAZET. Of Virginie Dejazet—ns usnal after the death of a celebrated actress—hitherto unpublished ancedotes are told on every side. One, narrated by herself, and repeated by one of her old friends, gives so good mu illustration of her character that wo give it 8s nearly as possible in her own words : Ono evening, eaid Dejazet, I wae on my way to the thestre, passing zlonz tho Rus des Pyra- mides, when at the corncr of Roe 5t. Hoaors, 1 heard men's voices proceeding from an entre. ol of a winc-shop singing,~if foch discordaat sounds can be cailed sicging,—and oh, horror! tho song was my “Lisette!” I glanced rapigly uto tho interior of tho nhop.g dimv?rad a wretched corkscrow staircase, draped with-red cotton, which in half & mioute I had elim! and found myeolf in a low, half-lighted room, where fiva workmes, in shirt-sleoves, iworq dnnking rather too much wine, and singing, as 1 swid, my dailag * Liselte.” **Oh, mes entarts,” I exclaimed, ‘“‘how cag you thus murder Beranger's Lisette 2" One of tho men less tipsy than the others came closo up to me, looked earncstly in my face: and cried : **Bah! it's Dejazet!” * Yaw, mos enfants,” Ireplied; **Dejazet, wha entroats you not to toar her bpest-loved song tq Ppiecea in this brutal mauner. Of courso you can't do batter, becsuse you don’t know how; Lut Twili sing it for you, and after that you must respect 1. . **Oh, Row gentille of you!™ eaid the men drawing near with thp greatest respect and at- tention. p +8it down and keop quiet,” I roplied, and, faking a seat opposits my five listeners, 1 sang Lisette. 2 With the exception of an irrepressible *‘cre nom” which escaped from the lips of one mat and was eilenced by an elbow-thrust by another overy now and sgain, not a sound, not a mave- ment interrapted my eong, but, when it wad finished, such a burst of enthnsissm rewarded me that 1 was obliged to domy best to calm them. saying I must now go to the theatre. “ Not-one foot ! ™ cried theman; * we'll get Ianterns and torches in no time, and yon shall ba carried in trinmph.” ~* Don't be foolish, my children,” I roplied ; *¢ you sre goiog to roman traoquilly where you are, and let mo go as quietly to my wori ; thisia your beat and only wey of thanking me.” Eeeing me B0 resolved, they said no more, and I went down the little corkscrew sturs_and oct into the strect as I had come. Then I turned and looked up at the small panel window, against which five noses were tlatteued and ten eyes flomed.

Her su~ perb and spacions 2partment on the Bue dea Presbroug was well adapted for an entertain~ ment of such magnitude. Thero was space for dapcing and room to move about, notwithstand- ing the large number of guents that ware pres- ent. The enfree to tho reception-room was throngh a conservatory beautifully illumiaated and hung with Chiness Ianterns. The most beat- tifal tollette worn on the occasion was that of Mre. Gen.

The train fell behind in fan-shaped folds, bordered with & narrow plisse fiounce of Apricot-colored crape, The front of the skirt was crossed transvervely with a scarf of apricot-colored satin, laid in rofds, and held down at one side with o cluster of large singlo roees in dark garnet velve:; the boitom of the skirt was finished with a wida srtk Sounse, lined and trimmed with gatin. Tho waist was pointed before and bekind, and was [aced up tho back ; it was bordered aronnd tho shoulders with wide point laca headed with folds of silk, A cluster of velvot floances placed in the front of the corsage to maich those in the skirt completed this tasteful and elegant costuma, which waa sin- gularly becoming to its beantiful weerer Afrs, A. 1.

A A FOGGY NIGHT IN PARIS. A Paris Jetter to the Phifadelphis Telegraph gaya: Last Wednesdey pight an English insti- tution took & trip across the Channel, and came lo establish itself in Paria. This nnwolcoms guest was no otner than a genuine Loundon fog, ‘which, beginning aboat 7 o'clock in the evening, gradually increesed in density until it bacamo impossible to see acrossa narrow street, or to distinguish objectsat Lalf a dozsn paces off. Through this dense gray sea of vapor people went, groping and bewildered, unable to find their way oven to tho best-known points. Car- risge drivers wero forced to keep their horses at a walk, and the policemen went abont furnished with large torches, wherewith they vainly strove to dissipate some portion of the gloom. Tho gos- Jamps looked likie far-o potsof redness through the mizt. People went about, some carrying eandles and others lanterns, and as if by magic two lsntern-seliera appeared in the boale- vards and drove a thriving trade. The vast aroa of the Place de la Concorde bacame & pur~ fect trap ; oncein the middle of it persans got lost, totally aud belplessly, and became 50 bewildered that they knew not which wayto turn. Oue gentloman of my acquaintance met a policeman on this perplexiog spot, and begged him to tell him the way to the Rue de Rivoli. **The Rue do Rivoli!™ exclsimed the bewil- dered functionary, **Iam trying to find it my- 8alf and cannot.” AMany people got out of their carringes and walked alongside of them in droad of & collision. One gentieman drove round snd round the Column of July on the Placo de la Bastille, trying to find the Rue St. Antoins, but in vain. At Iast the coschman descried two lampa glimmering feebly in the distance, whereupon he cried joyfally, “X have it—thero is the enmtrance to tha stroet,” whipped up his_horse, and drove bang intqa druggist's shoo-window! One poor cab- mex, becoming bewildered on the quay and not daring ito_turu either to the right or left, for fear of driving into the river, sst all night, mo- tionless on his box, i the cold, gray mist. Tho most_unplensant adventure of which [ bave ‘heard was that of & party of ladies who ware re- turning home from the theatre. Tho cabmaa got Jost. and josisted on_depositing the party in the middle of the sireat and permitting them to find their way home as best they mught. Ko- monstrance _ snd eotreaties ‘Wwere in vain, and but for the aid of a friendly passer-by the un- Ilncky thestre-goers would have had bat a hard timo of it. Fortunately this friend in need mads tho cabman hear reason, and guided him to his destivation, which was, as it happened, only balf a block off. THE GOOD PRINCESS MARGUERITE. Anne Brewster writes from Rome to the Phil- adelphia Bulletin: You shonld sce the Tiber flood advance up a Roman street. Itcomes very stealthily. The yellow waters curl in little rings and tken spread with a soft * slash,” and then curl again, ooze up through the stones, and unite and go on spresding. You wonier at first howit con be 50 dangerous, but suddenly you find iz assembled in fall force, resting its thick 'masges against portones and shops, filling conrt- yards and cellars, and doing sl its fearfal dam- 250 noiselessly. If ever you sro in Rome dur- iug an inundation do mot fail to go to the gac- ristydoor of the Pantbeon and eee the great dome reflecting the watera that cover tho stonc- tfloor of the oid templej it is 5 strango siglit, and, elthough 80 8ad and comforiless, iv basa sort of grandiose effect if_you are in the humor to enjoy a tregic scene. Out Furt Angelica tho river rushed, and laborers were there night and day during the swell, in_boats, 80 as to help the inhabitants of the Prat. When the great sweil ‘wept down the bonny Princess Margaerite drove out there. The men had not yet lefs thoir poats. They ranged thomsalves alonz the rosd and chieered the pretty good Priacess with all theie might, whilo sho gave o the haggard, dirty mea her best and sweotost smilon. As sho looked st them the tears came into her eyes. Afier sha had driven on & lttle distance the carriago was topped, and the Captein of the boat service wad summoned. The Princess wished to speak to him.
