THE SOCIAL WORLD. Certain " Moral Refiecfion;! on the Dull Season, ¢barebly Usurpation of the Fashion- able Field---Farties and Plays, Mosquerades and Dances—-Devotion to Iady Washington and the Centennial, Weddings and Wedding Anniversaries.- Other Entertainments. A Seore or So of Club Parties, All of Which Were Enjoyable. How the Country Cousins Amused Themselves, THE CHANGING FASHION: CONTBECTION IN PARTY-GIFING. v So little hwa society been doing this senson {hat one almost wonders if the peoplo who in former times geve such eplendid cotertainments sod cot such an important figure in the social werld, have really all passed from earth, or whether they have been swept from their poai- tion by somo tids! wave of misfortune. \Where, for ipstance, is 3ixs, Capucin, whose weckly re- ceptions in ber palatial mansion were the delight of the npper-tendom and the eavy of the un- initiated? Has she taken unto herself the pinions of the ivory goddess which was wont to perch in triumphant rudity, mpon ber drawing-room -mantel, aod fown to the undiscovered land? And Mrs. Gossamer, whose voluptuous form was wont to be so charmingly arrayed in the choicest product of {he Parisian modists, and WwEose make-up was tne sdmiration of despairing rivals,—has she, too, tired of the revelries, the conquests, the bewildering “Flash of diamonds and ghtter of pear),” znd withdrawn into the holier circle of domestic felicity? There were the Misses Lilae, who burst upon the enraptured vision of the eociety yomog manm, when they made their simuitaneous debut lost season, ise the dream which haunted Miri- dole's cphemersl existence. They were goy, of weelthy parentage, beantiful as houris, and their presence was considered indispensable at the Boirees given by the most fashionanle of the fashion-leaders. But they, too, are gooe, sod heve left scarcely a memory. In conader- ing these and numerous similar defections, the most philosophic society-goer is apt to heave a igh, and ask himself if thore ever will be a re~ tarn of the festivties that 60 enlivened his by~ gooe cars. The answer, it may be said, does 10t respond with readiness to the thought. ‘What, then, is the real reason for the contract- ing tendency thatis 0 mavifest in the society events of the present winter ? Perhaps the ex- planation is not o far distant 0a to elude the sesrch of common-sense. Chicago bas pessed a dauble ordoal of fire, and, though even now oa 2 wondeifully sotnd financial basis, hss yet 2cquired 3 valnable caution from the lesson of the past. . The society ladies have made up their 1minds that there is as much pleasure to be de- zived from Eimply select social gatberings as from the huge exbibitions of toilots that were onee the only criterions of social standing. Church entertainments have taken the place of crush balls, and private clob parties, ‘meetiag at the residences of tho members, are 20w more popalar than the crowded assemblies »! former days. I¢is, evidentls, sn epoch of rferm. Troe enough, this fachion may not #mdure, for what can be_mora unreasonsble ar fickle than fashion? But, while it lasts, no time can be more appropriste for comment snd judicious praise of & return, or, rather, a relapse intothe eimpler manvers that so adorned our New Evgland ancestors, e The past week bas been devoid of special in- rident, Nothiog more important bas happeoed than select parties given for the purpose of showing cff the quaint attire of the American aciety people of 1776. —— ~ ‘THE CHURCHES.

New York World. Balt ioilets, trimmed with ermine, are countea smong the late novelties, especially when the drassea receiving this gariture are composed in part of tulle; as, for instance, & tulle skirt, with its narrow irain of satin bordered with ermine, which far also edges ths low bodice and elbow sleaven. Fur necklots, haviag s locket or & medailion suspended, are also introduced to be worn with low dresses, but from their want of adaptation will hardly obtsip more than & passing favor.

While far 18 worn over s variety of shapes in hats and bonnets, it inrecommended 7nly for thoso of the toque form. A bonoet ornameated with fur should never be essociated with any other far, asa mixture of kiods is decidedly ont of taste. Cuiraeses with sleoves coutrasting with the bodice, and matching the skirt, are most worn, but slesves made of two matorials are the rew- est. For mourning and negligee wear sloavea are cut loog and very narrow, bnt for demi-toilet they rarely reach below the elbow : for these an approved style of finish 1 to turn the m up mth lace. and often & flower or bow of ribbon is add- ed to the bend of the arm. Antique buttons are in grest demand, and, when they are not used, bows of sibbon are given the next proferonce. ‘Paysementerie is worn in profusion. It comes in most costly and beautifal designs, among which are bright silver braids of peculiar pat- “tern, dead milver braids, steel -braids, checked metal, and black braids ; algo silver passemen- terie studded with soft bolle of blue, pink, or red floes silks. ki A povelty in ramonietes is ono which is al- modt & square of black velset with a silk puciset a the back : tho velvet about the pocket i3 ont- lined by a flat chain-work of silver, while two rows of the esme chain-worlk lzid on black vel- veu serve to suspend it from the wWaiat.

The popularity with which general markets ‘bave been received wherever established has in- dnced Mr. W. H.

Bupposing the burglars who so successfully reided upon the baok at Northamptoo, Mass., captaring nearly £1,000,000 belonging to special depositors, had planned an 2ssault upon a safe depository built expressly for the keeping of such valoables as they obtained at Northamp- ton? Ina strooghold like the Fidelity Safe De- ‘pository of this city they would have found, it they could have got near enough to make the in- spection, that great vaulia sheathed within and without with steel, and reached only by doors weighing four tons, had been 0 built that they conld pot be perforsted with months or drilling. They wounld find that four men, living miles apart, must come together every mornin, h%{:ru o would fiod the vanits guarded by armed mci Dight and day, and that telegraphic communica- tion with police headquarters wonld, at the first alarm, bricg patrolmen to the spot by the score. Findiog it as 1wpossible to disturb the Fidelity a8 to scale the beayons or dig thronzk the globe, our burglars wonld, nodoubt, again give their atrention to securing tho precious treasuies left by fuolish special depositors in ordinary bank vaults. o — The Drinking-\Water of London.

AMERICAN GENIUS. MOODY AND SANKEY. The great rovivalists, Messrs. Moody snd Saokey, who electrified staid old England with their eloquenca and enthusiasm, are fair esm~ ples of American genins. Springing from among the common people, their sympathies are alive to the wants of the whole pegple, and berein lies the secret of their great success, Those who seek to be‘popular must study and be familiar with the wants of the masses, and prove loyal thereto. To this fact we may tracq the grand success in business, a3 well a3 in re. ligious uuaertakings, which many Americans have achieved. Strikingly illustrative of these Buggestions is that great establishmerz, located at Baffalo, N, Y., and koown a8 the ** World'a Dispensary,” ‘most appropriste pame, in- deed, for that vast ipstitntion, within whose walls are manufaclured remedies which are it demand in every quarter of the globe, and at which a corps of distioguished physicizns and surgeons, uoder the personal direction of Dy. Pierce, are constantly asdministering to the needs of thonsands of suffersrs everywhers, and whose success in the trestment of all forms of chronic ailments has become so well known that there ia gcarcely s bamlet in the Jundin which his name is not familiar, Its proprie- tor, says the ferald and Zorchlignf, af De- troit, *is a man of the people, writes for them, and to them tenders his eminent professional services.” His advertisements are earuest ex- hortations. Like the great revivalists, his en- thusiasm is moltiplied by the nnparalleled suo- cess of his enterprise, as well a8 by the esficacy of his remedies in curing disease, The peopla believe 1n him and his remedies, becaunu, as the New York Tribune says, * be sympathizes with them in all their afflictions, efforts, and attainments.” Hence, Dr. Piarce's (Toiden Medical Digcovery 1s to-day mmore largely em- ployed as's blood and liver medicine, and also aa a cough remeds, than aoy other rémedisl agent in the world. His Favorite Prescriotion, ha | does mot recommend a8 a ‘‘cure-all,” as is sg " often done by compounders of worthless, hume bug nostrums, but for all diseasea and weake ‘messes peculiar to women it bas proved itsolf 8¢ much of a specific that it now enjoys grest pop- ulanty aod umiversal confidence. Dr.'Plerce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, ‘“scarcely largex than mustard seed,” have proved so agreezibla and relisble 28 & cathartic that they are rapidly taking the place of the large, nanseous pally heretofore 8o much in use; while his Compormd Extrast of Smart-Weed is 8 favorite remedy .for Colic, Cramps, Summer-complaint, Diarrhoss, Dysentery, Cholera, and Cholera Morbas, and also a8 & liniment. Of Dr. Bage's -Catarruh Remedy, and Dr. Pierce’s Nasal Douche, litHe need be eaid, a8 they are known everywhere a8 tho greatest specifics for Catarrh and *cold in the head,” ever given to the public. And Des sides this large mensure of enccess, Dr. Piercs soems Jikely to achieve a8 great renown as an author 28 he haa as & physician, His ** Common Sensa Medical Adviter,” & book of aboat 90U pages, which hesells at the unparalleled low price of $1.50, bas already been eold to the ex« tent of exbausting two editions amounting to 40,000 copies. The secret of Dr. Pierce’s auo- .cess, as well a3 that of the great revivalists, aod scores of other Americans, who by their genina Diave advanced step by step from obscurity ta afdaence and distinction, coasists in treatiag the people with consideration, sympathy, candor, and honesty. No man, who hopes to attain either wealth or distinction, can afford to deal upfarrly with the world, or be indifferent to the ‘"n(“ and best intereats of hamanity. BUSINESS NOTICES. .
