Brady dock’s troops, supported Mr. Fafrfax in an clec- tion contest for the House of Burgesses, against Mr., afterward Col., William Paynie of the Con- tincatal army. This.scems to liave been one of those rare occasions when Washington's hot Ylood got the better of his less judgment. TFlerce words passcd between the two gentle- men in the Market square of Alexandris, ‘mdi:!f by an outburst of from Payne, fn whi ue felled Washington tothe carth. The Rangers rushed from their barracks and surronnded Payne, but Washington, with calm digmity, dis- ed them. A duel secmed inevitable. the lollowing day, however, Washington sent for Payne, and, extending his hand, said, with a rentle courtesy, that touched the other to the kun: “Alr. Payne, to err is human. I was ‘wrong, yesterdav; but i you have had sufficient satisfaction, let s be friends.’ Untfl the day REAL ESTATE, Fewer Foreclosure Sales --- What Proportion of Loans Prove Bad, A Decrease in Transactions in the Real-Estate Loan MMarket. Capitalists vs. Building and Loan Associations. A Dul! Weak in Real Esiate--- .Sales Few and Unim- portant. THE LOAN MARKET. A DECREASE IN TRANSACTIONS. Dullness rejgned supreme over this depart- ment of trade the past week. The flzures fall bat alittle short of those in our last statement, but the actual losns are fewer. Renewals, trades, sbifting of property, and sccurlng press- ing debts were the main features of the week’s operations. The demand was nil. The quietude produces no change fu the loan agent’s mind os to the rates for money. The fact that the7 per cent men have no appliconts is sufficient proof that there are no first-class sccurities to any large amount offcring. The scmi-unuual statement below has sowne encouraging figures. The proportion of -releases to incumbrances is 043¢ per cent, ugainst &3 per cent lost year. There is o large falling® off In forcclosure sales. These forcclosure sales refer to trust deeds and wmortgages given geveral years ago, when their daily nuwber was Targely in excess of those filed for record during any day of the past six months. Comparing the foreclosures with the incumbrances assumed in 1576, we find that the bad_debts made by our loan agents amount to a little over 10 per cent of the aggregate number. If we could mal compurison with the vears in which the debts were contracted, we venture to say that the pro- rtion of poor loans to good ones would fall clow § per cent. This is a good exhibit of the care which our financiat agents display in plac- ing their principals’ mooey. It mustbe remem- bered that these poor loans are mot utterly worthless. They net something under any eir- cumstances. THE IMPORTANT 1.0A of the present week were as follows: (1) S0 acres- in Sec. 4, 40, 13, on the line of the Chicawo & Pacitle Railrond, $40,000, five years at 4 per cent. ) 20 acres inthe S. E. X of Sec. 25,39, 13, 320, five years at 8 per cent. (3) 20 acres in the 8. . 3¢ of Sce. 7, 37, 16, Waslington Helzhts, $15.000, five years at, ¢ () Part of the gcr cent. 41): N. E. ¥ of 8. 1, 33,12, Iying along Egan avenae, south of Riverside, 320,000, five'years at 7 per cent. ‘The last two mentioned loans are by the Pro- tection Life Insurance Company to two of its officers, which fact probably accounts for the low rate of interest. \ Acre property hes obtalned the cream of the loans, and of those noticed No.2{s the only picee of land inside the lmits.

Curcaco, July 1.—That the Building and Associations are practical and beneficial to their members, In providivg asafe place (if prudently managed) for their savings, stimulating to econ- omy and industry, paying u larger interest on savings than the savings-banks, and cducatiug to business habits and experience, uo one will deny. This lias been demonstrated in Philadel- hin and other Eastern citles, where they have cen doing o successful business for the last twenty years. “ Bookkeeper,' in last Suunday’s TRIBUNE, mukes s showing of the practical working of the Association fn s case, In which he has been able to purchase anlee home for $1,200—borrowing $700 of the Assovition and giving his noté (sccurcd by mortgage on the place and his shares in the As- sociation) for Sl,&l)—nnd adding §500 which he had flprwriously accumulated to pay for his place. At first thought it struck me that 8300 premium for the loan of 5700 was rather large, and after 2 week’s time the impression still remains. Now, if he had not possessed the $500 of savings, as understand from officers of one of the Assocta- tions in the city, he would have had to walt till D had made threc or four years’ payments on his shares before he could seeure a loan equal to $100 for each share held by him, he paying the usual premium. To & man on a moderate sala- ry, with no accumulations, the Associatfon can offer no assistance fn the immediate purchase of ahome. He must ;Y'u on sinking money In rent. till he has made such accumulations cither by payment on shares or inother ways, so that he can comply with the rules of the Assoclation in regard to foans. In contrast with this it scems to me the plan advocated by me—viz. : the build- ing of houses by capitalists a seiling for u small cz8h payment, aud balance in monthly payments is more dircct, is simpler and better for the pur- chaser, while at the same thme it furnishesa safe business investment to the party who builds and sclls. 1, 5L000.00 Suppose the parchase to bo. .

The Building Association Journal of Philadcl- Pa; phia gives the Tollowing Interesting extract from an address before the Social Science Assocfation by Mr. Joseph J. Doran: Previous fo the year 1849, {n comparison with their snbsequent history, buiiding associutions in Philadeiphia were inconsiderable and their opers- tlons limited. In 1849 the Weccacoe was chartered. From this date they rapidly increased in_number and activity. From dJau, 1, 1849, to January, 76, 692 were incorporated in the City of Phita- delphia. Some associatious are <till ‘conducted without charters. ¢ number of associations heve actunlly car- ried on Dbusiness; thut the proportion of those which mnever went into business or failed to continuc In operation must be very £mall. On the frst of January, 1876, there were 450 building associations in active operation in Philudelphia. The loans of building aksociotions on morlgages repreeent $72, 256,000, but as these associatfons merely aid in the purchase, fo that the amount turned into real estate throngh their agency can be shown to be nearer $100, 000,000, $7,672,000 is a fafe estimate of the receipts by building associations during 1875, althovgh_good authoritics huve estimated them to be ae high s 30,000,000 and $10,000,000. Their transactions in Philadelphia have 'been very lurge, the recards showing that in 1874 their mortgages formed 31 per cent of the whole number rccorded. The number who_are present members of building asiociations je estimated at 80, 1t must be conceded that those orgunizations luve aided materially in increasing the number of dwellings In this city, since the money directly invested by them fornis one-tenth of the fotal asscesed valuation of property. . PERSITS FOR JUNE. 5 During the month of June Superinténdent Bailey issucd permits for 216 new buildings, haviug a combined frontace of 4,418k fect. The greater part ave dwellings. For the aix montlis_ending June 30 he iSsucd 415 for 613 new buildings.” In the month of January there were 39 buildings begun; February, 43; March, 107; April, 88; May, 120; June, 216. From Jul 20, 1875,—the tim¢ Superintendent Bailey took charge of the office—to January 1, 1876, there were 503 permits jesued for 1,086 newv buildings. Thus, in 2 little over cleven months 1,008 per- mits have been taken out, which represents the erection of 1,679 new buildings.

Styles dund Fabrics in Vogne in New York. Some Affecting Costumes—-The Man- tilla---" Rose Michel” Bonnets. Prominent Parisian Events===A Sudden Adoration of Red, NEW Y¥ORK. WIIAT FASIUON DICTATES, Special Correspondence of The Tribune. New York, June 20.—Now is the time when our “buttertlics_of fashion™ sigh to become ““Iilies of the field, that tofl not, nuither do they spin,” and yet are arrayed In beauty und splendor surpassing even wise old Soloraon's glory. But, unfortunately, in spite of desire, ‘we remain what we are, and rigorous is the re- quirement thut we make ourselves presentable. It is part of my creed that every woman should cultivate and turn to the utmost advantage every God-given beautiful attribute. We all know that “n thing of beauty is a joy forever,” and to me a beautiful womav, artistically dressed, givos os much pleasyre as auy snperb pleture or statue. And perhaps moro, for in the fMlrat is the perfection of both Nature und art. To assist Nature let us see whut Dame Fashion is doing. Not- withstanding the many nml‘ exquisite fabrics thot are thin, cool, and fleccy, popular fancy seems best pleased with cashmere and light woolen suitings. For house wear are showi some beautiful organdics, in checks und stripes, or with a pretty figured desfgu. A very lovely dress of this material has a white ground over which are scattered clusters of purple pansics. The skirt has a deep_ guthered ruflle with a hicaaing of three shirred puffs. Below the bot- tum oncis a full gathered ruflle of Sunyrna lace, ubout a finger deep. The busque is what is known s the Continental, and the overdress is long andsmooth in front, and the back isslightly draped. The overskirt is fhiished by o fall of lace, and the busque also Is similarly trimmed. The entire suit is made over a plain skirt and tight-fitting, untrimmed basque. of violet silks. The cool und lovely cambrics that are so much used make up into charming toilets. A pretty one of golden-brown cambrle, so_finely finished us to look lika &ilk, is trimmed with bias bands, corded on cuch side with bufl. The polonaise, which Is Jong, is fastoned its entire length with yellow ivory buttons, smootl, round, aud flat, in size abotit o silver quart>r. Grenadines continue in unabated favor, and, while all-black ja -worn on the strect, for the house they are much prettier, enlivened with confections of cardinal, cream-color, peach, or pale-blue. There is a new aud pretty color, the nume of which 1 do not know, but _which ‘“‘peaches and cream ” aptly describes. It is a soft, rich crezmn color, with a littic shimmer of rosy sille, which is 50 dclicate as to be imper- ceptible save In certan lights. Our grand- mothers would have ealled it ™ changeable silk,” I expect. WIHITE POLONAISES have been again revived for mornfng wear over black or colored skirts of sill. The chicf fea- tures of these polonaises fs the immense quan- ity of bows used to decorato them. The bows are made cither of ribbon the color of the silk underskirt, or_else of black_velvet. A pretty effect is produced by a judicious mingling of blug, rose, or violet with the black. For the street, varlous modifications of the ““ mantilla™ or mantalet are much worn. Soing exceedingly pretty oncs are of grenadine and Mexicalne, and ere_trimmned with” double rows of French' luce, cither box-pleated or gathered. To sccure more elaboration, » heading of black silk “mosa” often surmounts the lu: Mexi: caine net is still a popular mnaterial for A handsome costuine hag an underskirt of navy blue silic ‘with three narrow knife-pleated flounces across the front and a deep shirred ruffie at the back. The ovenlress Is of Mext- caine the smneshadeas thesilk, andis cut infront in two long points. These are trimmed with a flossy fringe_of blng, above which a ruching of raveled or cirled sk forms an elegant flnlsh. The backis very long and wide, end Is very much draped in four places, where square bows of Dlue sillk are set. The waist fs tight, without ends in front, while in the buck fs u round, lented skirt, quite short. Down the front are our rows of blue silk buttons, and the waist is closcd by u cord elaborutely laced around these buttons. This dress is extremely clegant. FOI THE MORNING AND FOR TRAVELING some \'c’?' pretty dresses of Scoteh gingham are worn. These ero fn color chiefly blue-gray with a tiny thread of searlet, or else brown or gray cheeks and plaids. Smyrna lace 13 most used on them, and often plaitings of qlnghum are used with good effect. A polonaise like this is so very useful, that 1y ludies decmn them fudispeusa- ble, and they are certainly very pretty whon worn over a skirt'of black silk. Little sleeyeless jackets of velvet and lace are much in vogue, and with good reason, for they are both pretty and stylish. In some of them, ribbon forms an acceptable substitute. An ex- ceedingly chariing one is of alternate stripes of delicate lae ribbon and real Valenciennes i sertion, each about xn inch and u quarter wide. Around. the cdge is a ruflle uce gathered over onc of the ribbon; and y dressy bows, four in number, serve t0 fusten tuie front. The urmholes are finished with the fall of luce and ribbon. AONG BEAGTIFUL EXAIDITS OF BIIOUTERIE are some exquisite setscarved from conch-shella, They are mnrvulouslfv lovely. One set has the deep rose of the shell serving as a foundation to delicately-carved cameos, which bava a tint like reflected sunset. Another, comprising the usual picces und a superd mecklaco, has the small conch-shell highly polished and Testing in a tiny dove with folded Wings. Thirteen of ame, con- nected Ly very small ghells, form & necklace fit to encircle the throat of the Queen of Beauty. Considering the delieatencss of the carving and the exquisite tints of the shell, these sets sell very reasonably, the first costing only $100, and they are far more beautiful than pearls. Some pretty foriated gauzes for overdresses, are made up over o foundation of silk. They are quitc exnensive, selling at. 5 and 36 4 yard, and are, besides, quite narrow. Some very stylish tunies we of fine, black erenadine, tichly embroidered in colors. Oue shown at u faslnonable umPurlnm in this city is worked with large leaves of white jet and hin- ming-birds, gorgcous to a fuult. Itis bordercd by i deep fnnge which Is parti-colored and Into which prold Luilion enters largely. Another very pretty one is of white China crape, with a deep embroidery of forget-me-nots. Still an- other, of coarse, black net, bas an spplique de- Eign of gold bronze leuves and vivid scarlet owers. VELVET K17 continue fn undiminished favor. A Iovely cos- tume has a skirt of rich yellowlsh-brown velvet, with an overdress of ~umber-colored gauze, floriated witha sbade like the velvet, ~ This dress, worn with vivid crimson roses at the throat und in the coiffure, and jewelrv of amber and dead_gold, was une of the most superb toilettes T have scen this summer. Among other pretty things which are not pew are the handsome Russiun feather fans of car- dinal-red, pearl-gray, and cresm and myrtle- green. Sowe ure perfectly plain, save for a and many of our citizens are sceking amuse- ment there. Christine Nilsson and our favor- itc sloger Paure recently appearcd in “Faust ¥ at Drury Lane Theatre, and the cclat of the occasion, I am told, has never been excelled. We hope to greet this charming songstress in Parls next season,-and, as she has expressed o desire to make #a en- gagement here, it only remains with M. Halan- zier to extend an fuvitation to tils Ophelia with- out u vival, this adorable Marguerite. The Opery, the Opera Comique, the Theatre Lyrique, will be placed under different managements next January, each one under a Director named by the Minister des Beaux Arts. “Oberon” waslate- l{pmdu‘ednl the Theatre Lyrique, but the abridged and {muprovised manner In which it was placed upon the s was u mockery to the enius of Weber. The songs of the spirits lost all ideality, and the vocal fanfare, *Jamais mon caur mne comnut la peur,” was given in an nsipid_and carcléss manner, whilst the charm of the cantabile: “Ol belle fnconnue,” was rendered hr the sirme tenor with little variation of style. The repetion of Verdi’s Requiem at the Theatre Italien has produced a memfl cffect, with the magical voice of the cnor Masini, and the perfeet harmony and ex- pression of sentiment oy LaStolz und La Walde- mun. TWO GREAT EVENTS now loom up fn France with solemn_grandeur. George Sand has passed away, and King Louis Philippo has returned, toxest in the cemetery of Dreux. These occurrences are noticed far and near, butshall we not heed’ the hymn that Nature sung so sweetlyas the regalcortege stood around the monurch's tomb? The rain was f:lmnfi, and Princely heads were bowed with grief, in silence alnost profound, when a little bird trilled its notes, and soft music filled the nir ‘The power of Nature, the mockery of splendor, the {muy of Ln'mun life, were the burden of its song. Nanterre also appears prominently be- fore ug, with its impressive celebration of the Rose Feast; that * fete patronule ™ which was established by St. Medurd centuries ago. The old ceremonics were slghtly changed by Louis XIIL., who presented the silver clasp which binds the wreath together. The present ** Ro- sicre ” is Mlle. Marie Sabe, a_charming Lloude, who well deserves the honor thus bestuwed as a reward to virtue. The Mayor, the sous-Prefet, the Rector, and _other oflicils, assisted at the ceremony, whilst the Marquise d’ Aulan er‘fncd the Rosiere, who bore her honors ke a Queen. The picked guard of soldlers, with |their glittering arms, the hrilliant comémn 'y and the young attcndants in their fwhite attire, made an impressive eene, which few occaslons ever excel. A ball 4t the Mayor’s concluded the affatr. As the number of travelers who left Paris last Sunday on the Vincennes route amounted to 88,000, and proportionate numbers in cther di- rections, it is upparent that i OUR MODISTES will now employ their time in designs for the futurc. It is predicted that the brightest colors will predominate next season, but the red dresses of some of our Euglish visitors do not favor such a conclusion, 1s No arrangement cun ive them a yecherche style. The most|fash- onable cvening toiletics _in London are red, trimmed with black, red and whitd, red with every hue which will Inthe least corfform toit; but perhaps the distinction fs prefdrable to our dearth of fashions at the present bime.

EUROCPEAN GOSSIP. White Slavery in Turkey===The *Beautiful” Circassians. Reminiscences of George Sand---The New Suitan of Turkey. A Grand Review of French Troops-.Exhibition of Toot-Wear, WIITE SLAVERY IN TURKEY. Pera Correspondence London Times. A gentleman from the British Foreign Office who was here in 1869 was satisficd by ocular evidence that slaves, both black and white, were still sold and bought with very little reserve in the immediate vicinity of the Surleymanyeh, or Solyman’s Mosque. The trade, Lesides, was carried on this side of the Golden Iforn, near the Tophane or Artillery Arsenal, and has only lately, und in consideration of the feellngs of the prying Franks, been removed to the Koom Capoo, or Sand Gate, a quarter jubabited Ly Cireassians, on the fav gide of Stamboul, on the Sea of Marmora. Since the advance of Russia on the vegion of the Caucasus has cither led to the subjugation or emigration of the Circassians, the recruiting of wives for the wealthy Turks can only be carried on under difficulfies, and the business is reduced to a prontable but rather petty retail trade. The busiuess is’generally managed as follows: A Moslem dealer, agent, or broker travels to the huppy land where beauty and virtue may be bought, guuranteed first hand. e makes chiolce of four young, unsophisticated girls, marrles them, imports them to Constantinople, keeps them as pure as wheb in thelr maternal homes, sells them, and then goes back foranother lot; and if he can only achicve four such trips in o year he can muke s decent living out of sixteen ‘women,—a noble, self~denying, and useful trude, tolerated by the Government and consistent with the Molmmmedan code. Many of the Circassiang are settled fn Turkey, and there actually breed children for sale, huving no more shume about it thana fashionuble English mother may feel about bringing out her girls for the matrinionial mar- Ket.” The Circassian, however, does not care for rank or_family connéetions, but for hard cash. Fatima is knocked down to a Bey or Pasha. Her father takes his buksheesh, and the girl becomes the mistress of a harem unzil her successor ar- rives. I cun, meanwhile, Yosm\'uly assure you that thereare In Stamboul as snany as twenty- four houscs where the sale of Circassian and other girls i3 freely carried on, A young Mus- sulman of my acquaintance told me that at one of these beauty shops he was asked 350 Turkish lire and he offered 150 lire. That even the con- stant_supply of Circassian and Georgi slayes has Tittle effect toward improving the breed of Turkish women we may argue from the speci- mens of the “ilowers of the barcms"—fine types of womauhood us they originally are—whotn we sce driving up and down the Grand Rucde Pera, especially on Friday afte n. . On this, thelr weelkly holiday, these lovely belngs do not dis- dain to ‘psrade their charms ibefore the despised Giaours, the gossamer tex- ture of _ their vashmacks allowing onec to desery their features as 1f that mere sham of a disgulSe were removed. How Jittle real heauty there is to bescen aniong them must be obvious to any on¢ who comparcs them with the be of fresh colored, elezantly shaped Greek and other Levantine girls who are tripping along the muddy footpaths every day, and at ull hours of the” day, to suy nothing of the dainty European ladies out for a shoppiug in thelr Sedan chalrs. As an ordinury sight fo- side a Turkish carringe here yon have the ample Georgian dowager, lolling back in her curriage, a shupeless mass of obesity, uncasily blowing and groaning; there in the nextvcehicle, the faded shadow of a Circassian belle, thin and skinny, leaning forward with eager curiosity flirting with Ler vashmack, anxious to attract attention, the vucnlug of her mind visible through all her aflected Jiveliness, the spell of her smile made huggard by the paint on her checks and the black dye on her hair, eyebrows, and even eyelids. Of “the genuine article of youthful female beauty little indeed malkes its appearance. GEORGE SAND. Mile. Dupin was early inoculated witi the lit~ erary discase, and, heving written o pretentious work, she went to consult a neighbor, the Count, De Keratry. Theold soldier knew what the visit mcant, and be began at once to inveigh aguinst the literary ideas of his time, the ruin of many useful people in his opinion. Mile. Dupin, s ghe was then called, could not put ina word, but finally managed to say that she had deter- mined to bean author. 8o M. Durfs-Dufresne Las told me,” said the Count, knitting his brow. 30 you want to become a writer! Well, well, in two words, I'll be frank with you; a woman ought never to write.” * But—" interposed Mile. Dupin. * You want to discuss it,” said . De Keratry; “ nouse in that. Don't go to malking books: take my word for it; go to mak- ing babics instead.” “You can keep your pre- ts for yoursclf, sir,” said Mile. Dupin, an- grily, und she went out without another word, slumming ‘the door behind lier. When once launched out fnto literature George Sand scemed to have forgotten her sex. Fora young' lady she was decidedly eccentric, and the suce cess of her male nom deplume made herassume masculive airs. She smoked cigarettes, drank absinthe, and ressed in male att] This she pretended to be a matter of cconomy. Balzac sald up that time that no lady could live and dresslikea lady on less than 25,000 francs a vear. George Sand discussed this guestion with her friends, arguing in favor of the cheapness of men’s clothes, In comparison with tiiose of woraen, and_in the end renounced her jupons. The first suit that she wore was styled the redingote qucrite, of course gruy cloth, with vest and pantaloons of the same. She wore a hat and large woolen cravat, looking for alf the world like & college student in his first term of the Freshman year. “Icannot tell you,” she wrote to a friend, *“how much pleasure my first pair of boots gave me; I felt like sleeping in them. With those little fron-shod heels I felt solid upon the sidewalk, and I fiew about Paris with them from onc ¢nd to the otler.” The Paris gossips have_brought out the cu- rious fact that Georze Sand and Victor Hugo neverinct but once, und never spoke to each other in their lives. Thelr solitary mecting was ot the rc?dcnce of the Marquis de Custine, who ve o (e on taking possession of a new hoted u the Rue de 1a Rochefoucauld. There was a great crowd present. Victor Hugo was in swnall room, when two ladics came in. One of them, Madame Mariani, Hugo kuew, and, bow- inge politely to the other, he conversed for a few moments with Mwlame Mariani; aud then took his leave. The Marquis met him as he was go- ing down stairs, and said to bitn, reproachfully: “You heve broken the heart of a womal “Pray, how!" *You were just now in the roomn with Madame George Sand, and_never spoke to her.” % But I neversawher! I never met her in mylife, audshould be delighted to sce her.”” The Marquis_explained, and the two went back in quest of Madame Marfuni and her illustrious -companfon. But it was too latc. The ladies had gone. Long afterwardsa cor- respondence began between the two great authors, which led to & cordial friendship. ~ But though Victor Hugo came back from exile to France five years ago, it seems that he never took the trouble to call upon Madame Sand in person; and when the great authorcss went Lo sce the author recelved into the French Aeademy she ot into & seat behind a column which ex- actly prevented her from sceifig him during the whole ceremony.

He writes Frech very well indeed, and probably knows English also, eincé e bas an English wife.

When the stream of eyr. ringes and pedestrians, ufter possing the eag. cade, was suddenly checked by the gendarmes to leave a cleur way for Marskal MacMahon ang the inevitable brilliant stafl to pass from the Surcsnes Bridge, where the Marshal mountey on horsebuck, to the reviewing grourd, ther was such a rush and pressure that many peqpls were thrown down, and I am afraid the thres ambulance stations, considerately~ provi canoot have been without employment’ Foreign uniforms werc numerons i Marshal 'MacM‘-llhon’s sulie._ * Consple. ous among them was the scarle &b, Conolty. the Lritish Miitan ty cently promoted. The white Austrian tunle was worn by Col. Crusis. Prince Vittgensteln represented Russia; Maj. Bulow, a stafl officer of the Emperor of ' Germany, was in Lis propar pluce, and Capt. Moltke, of the Danish Hussars, brother of the Danish Minister here, appeared for Denmark. In the Central Tribune wag Mme. de MocMahon, accompanicd by several ladics, nmong whom was Queen Isabella of Spain, ang in her cntourage were the Grand uke Michacl of Russia, In plain clothes, Prince Hohenlohe, and Lord Lyons, who met at dinner at the house of M. Thicrs yesterday, and who had a ‘long couversation; tlie Spanish Ambassador, M. Dufaure, the Duc Decazes, Admiral Fourichon, in uniform, und the Moroco another oy, Awbassador, who, disappointinre . did not {ly about the ground on horsc? I3 white buraous streaming in the wind ...s review, like all others sluce the fall of Mapoleon HI., who frequently treated spectators to manenvres and cavalry charges, consisted of a simple march past. Any description of it would therefore bg a repetition. There were, it is sald, about 40,- 000 men of all arms, but,_probably the numbers are exaggerated. At 3:10 o'clock the St. Cyr Battalion of military students, who are always appliuded, opend the march, which was closed by thie last of the Marshal left the ground on Barseback, saluting the tribunc, in “which his wife'was, sur- rounded by 2 brilliant company, but not alighting * to join her. The infantry marched very well, and specialists assure me there is u marked improvenient since last year in the cavalry and artillery. The public enjoyed the sight, but as far as I know there was no demonstrution of feeling of any kind. I heard no cheering, bt some evening papers sav there were criesof “Vivele Marechsl!” % Vive Ia Republique!” Perbaps the prettiest part of the review was, after it was oflicially over, the quick movement of the cavalry leaving the Emund for their flunrlcm. The fine weather brought out mauy lazzling summer toilets, which shrank from the menacing dark clouds laat Sunday. RATIONAL FOOr-CLOTHING. Just as the walking has commenced, the Gov- ernment of Burne las opened its boot exhibi- tion. Early in the present year, not without strong opposition from the loeal sons of St. ¥ Crispin, it invited the shocmakers of the whole world to contribute materials for the first inter- natlonal exbibition of Loots and shoes. The immediate object of the exhibition, and the prizes offered for competition, is the procuring of a “rational foot-clothing” for the Swiss militia; but the father of the movement may be aid to be” Prof. G. H. Meyer, of Zurich, who twenly years ago wrote a pamphlet in which he showed that the foot was the martyr among the 4ncmbers of the human body, gave fearful fllustrations of crippled feet, Attache, re- the wagon train at 4245, and then - et SRR sy e oS o SN | and urged upon his shoe-making fellow-citizens - to accept the strange faith that boots are made for the feet, and not the feet for boots. ideal shocmalier, according to the progrmma of the manazers of the exhibition, should kecp these ¢nds in vicw—first, the protection of the “feet of tie young from injury and mallorns- tion; sccond, the restoration of foct thot are crippled, corned, and tortured, but are never theless reformaeble; and lustly, the comfort and case of fect which are frremediably disfigured. The Berne exhibition opened in the first week of this mopth, and remalns open until the 11th of July. It is divided into six groups: (1) Plaster mocels of feet, both In the normal con- dition and in the cruel malformation to which they bave been reduced by bad boots und shoes; &2) Iasts, In wood and metal; (3) raw material; () Implements and machinery: (5) specimens of boots and shoes; (6) specimens of boots and shocs as they ought to be. Nearly 400 exhibitors have replicd to the invitation of the Berne Commissioners; 127 he- longing to Switzerland, 67 to North Germany, 49 to South Germany, 73 to Austrin, 29 fo France, and u smaller number to England, Russia, Belgium, Spain, Italy, the Scandinavian Kingdoms, and South America.
