New Yomg, Aug. 17.—There is probably no toilette that admits of more display than does one Intended for opers wear. Tbe surround- ings are so beautiful, the apportunities of be- ing seen to the best advantage so favorable, that it is not to be wondered at that so much care and elegance are lavished upon “1oflettes d' opera.” A very handsome one is of rich white silk with a delicate {vory-tint, and an overdress and trimmings of -pale lilac crape silver-studded. Anotber, still handsomer, is of heavy water-green silk with a floriated design in white. The drapery, of a‘c;:flnwd white il indescribable. The cuirass basque is f;&ufidy long-waisted, and is a bewildering mixture of cream-hued silk and water-green cord, with a profusion of bows and {rills of each lor. w’l‘hc rich, deep garnet, of whichI wrotein a former letter, has been enthusiastically re- veived, and is already much worn. There can beno doubt that with the advent of the fall styles it will becowme as much ‘“‘the rage” as cardinal has been. A very handsome dress of silk is of this rich, clear riame!., with a Jong lain gkirt. An overdress of almost priceless ghc‘k Chantilly lace subducs the vivid coloring. The waist is trimmed with flounces of the same, aud a falf of the lace about a foot deep supplies the sleeves. The fashion exists for waists ex- traordinarily Jong. The names for these waists are corset, armor, and the well-known cuirass. In all cases they fit closely and tightly over the hips. The ncwest mportations in drésses have the ekirt exceedingly smooth here, without Icaving a vacancy for bustles of any description. The * latest”” in petticoats or skirts are ar- Tanged 1o fasten on the edge of the corset, and shus guard againet any interference with the sxact smoothuess of the basque. An clegant costume for carriage or visiting ase is of a rich scal-brown faille. ~The skirt hus 1 wide box-pleated flounce, lined with an exquis- e pale biue sl The lning shows shghtly thove and below, as a piping, and _the centre of each pleat is bent over and tacked. The over- wkirt falls in front in an elongated point, longer »n the left than the right. The former is turn-~ 1d up about a foot in depth, and is faced with e pale blue silk. In the back the overdress is ‘oug and square, and is looped with bows of ‘aille faced with blue, A leavy cording of the ttter forms a finish for the edge of the over- skirt. The armor basque is loug, very long, ind is to the last degree tight and smooth. An mserted vest of blue, with a cording of twisted brown and blug, is crossed by buttoned stripes of the faille. The coat-slceves have a blue curd- ing at each seam, and are open from the elbow down, showiug a lining of bluc silk, a bow of gros grain beiug placed at the point of closure. Some very charming additions to & lady’s cos- bume are the NECKERCHIEFS 2 now 50 much in favor. These dainty little things are easily made at home, and remnants of lLandsome silks, muslins, etc., are finel f adapted for them. "cr)- Iovely ones are of rich soft silk, square or three-corncred, and finished around the edge with thread or Malines lace or even fine old pomnt. Others are beautified by dsome silk fringes or Swiss embroidery. A ery preity onc of light blue silk bas a design embroidered in darker chenille and a bordering of fringe of the same material. Charming little ones for home or other informal wear arc of Drighit foulara with a delicate scallop embroid- ery of Hamburg necdle-work. Two shown me are very elegant. One is of cream-colored Can- ton crape heavily embroidered with coarse floss of varicgated = colors. The other is also of Chins crape, in color & vivid scar- let with a ‘border the same shadc, but of soft ribbed silk. These kerchiefs are mostly made of silk, foulard, crape, and fine white lawn., Those of the latter materinl are generally trimmed with Valenciennces andjwith & tiny dr.s:‘g-n in colors wrought in each corner. Knotted closely around the throat there are few styles to which these little kerchiefs are not be- coming, Many of the last imported dresses are pro- fusely ornamented with BEADED LACE. The beads are of steel or blue stecl, as best har- monizes with the color of the fabric, and, for Dlack, the jetted lace isused. This faucy bids fair to become as universal as it was some time ago, and with it is introduced a variety of metal galoons and braids. Polonaises of seal-brown, gray, olive-green, or navy-blue, are made very clegant by liaving several rows of braid stitched around the edge. ¥ Ladics who fancy a variety of dresses can be Pleased by having several sleeveless overdresses made that will look %u:\lly well with different or the same skirts. With~ one black silk skirt, the following three overdresses will make as many charming suits: One of black Spanish lace is made in the Princess form. Around the bottomn is 8 hem 1i¢ in:hesdecp. In thisis basted & poy;m—-rcd ribbon of similar width, and loug bows of the sawe ribbon are placed down the entire front, and along the side-seams. A sccond one is prettily made of black Mexicaine, trimmed around the edge with crimped fringe. It is fastened diagonally front the right of the throat to the bottom of the left-side scam. A row of fringe forms a finish here, and bows of double ribbon, cream on one side and purple on the reverse, lend additional elegance. A third may be of soft silky gauze, in color a pale, silvery blue, fastencd up the front with cluster of blue violets and erab-apple blossoms. There is room for the exercise of much taste and ingenuity in the construction of these thousand aud one little appliancesof dress, that are 5o littlein themeelves and yet that are the very things that stamp awoman as well-dressed. OF STOCKINGS there has been of late nothing new. The colors most uscd are plain brown and drab, or dove- + gray. The “attrait” once possessed by stripped stockings is fast decreasing, and ladics are be- ginning to cede them entirely to the children. A novelty in glovesis the new French Lisle- thread. They are like stockings, being scamless, unless we except the woven lines where the scam should be. They fit the bhand perfectly, ‘but are far trom being so handsome 8s are the English Lisle-thread. “There is probably no part of the tollet on whichladies bestow miore care Td thought thanona becoming arrangement o THE HAIR. A style that may be worn with good effect by & few laces is to comb the hair straight back from the forehead and sccure ti%mly at the back of the head witha flat silk braid. Iam explicit in saying flat silk, for a braid or string of this sort does least injury to the hair. Braid the hafr compactly, but mot too tightly, and roil ina firm twist, leaving all the meck free. With a brush gently raise and draw forward the short loose picces on the top and at the side of the head and form into loosc, carcless curls sbout the brow. A rather odd arrangement, but one peculiarly becoming to s slender face, with slightly de- pressed temples, is brought_about in this man- per. The hair i8 parted in the middle, as wsual, and drawn down straight and smooth behind the ears. The sides at the temples are arated _and crimped in _ soft fluffy waves. These are carried lightly back, and fastened behind. The remainder of ihie hair is parted across the back from right to Ieft. The upper portivn is disposed in finger- }mfl‘s that must be light and “puffy.” The ower part is made inta two loose curls, which arc allowed to hang. A style much in vogue is one that must be some near family relative to the departed, but not lamented, “spit-curls’ of old times.’ One little piece of hair nearest the parting, say one-cighth of all between it and the ear, is,drawn on the forchead, plastered there tightly with pomade or soap, and then stretched back with unparalleled tientness and sleckness. This is repeated until the forchead Is well-covered with these sticky, stift adlairs, and then twisting up the back hair, the wearer itands in all the cunscious glory of a fashionable svitfure. It isa most hideous style, and trying 1o even the pretticst face. Marriz’s. PARIS. MEMORIES OF THE PAST. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Paznss, Aug. 5.—In searchinz the past for oresent models, dark shadows are scen at times aovering over scenes that appear most brilliant, wd pomp and splendor are often framed in dccpest gloom. This is brought foreibly before 33 now by the restoration of the Concicrgerie, wherein the prisonccll of Marie Antoinette re- mains unchanged. There the stoutest heart grows faint, asimagination pictures the suffer- mgs of that Quecu in the damp and darkness of her living tomb, and where Fashion would dis- dain to cnter as only 2 scanty mourning dress was owned by this Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Fraoce, and the daughter of an Eme peror. In the Tuileries, and n her palace home at Vienna, we must scek the graceful toi- lettes that are morein [avor now than any others of older times, and as she appears before us in her pictured loveliness, witha gold-cmbroidered satin robe, over which falls a sky-blue velvet court train which still hears her name. it is no marvel that it finds admirers now. Several toi- lettes withthe Maric Antoinettetrain have lately been forwarded to the charming resort d’Arro- ‘manches near Bayeux, where & number of aristo- cratic Parisian families are spending the sum- mer. Among them are the )evicrs,av aux, Mar- shat Caurobert and family, and many other equally prominent names. g Vichy also has many celebrated visitors, and an eolivening sceue took place there a few days 2go, oceasioned by the departure of Prince Has- san Pacha for Egypt. Many persons assembled and bid the Prince adieu, and as the Royal yacht EI Mabir left the shore warm greetings followed until it waslost to view. A VENETIAN SKATING PETE took place at Trouville last Saturday, which at- tracted many of the beau monde of Paris, and, rumor &tates, the eclat of the season could not be rivaled. Although there are no decided changes to note at the modistes, many trifles appear at times that serve to vary tire toilettes made carly in the season. The broche gauze ribbons now come in widths to suit every pur- pose, and produce a pretty effect, when well harmonized. They are disposed in scarts, bows, and drapery, whilst narrower widths serve for the trimming “‘“‘eclicionnant” or polonaises, and for oruamenting pockets and slecves, Cravats and bows for the coiffure are also formed of the medium widths. A FEW NEW SILES have appeared in black or dark grounds, with Roman stripes and rich “bouquets jeties,” and moire antique and heavy watered silks are also scen. If the latter ar¢ favorably received, 1t will be easy to predict the coining styles of mauking toilettes, as an abundance of trimming only mars the beauty of these goods, and plain skirts will be necessitated. One of the most be- coming novelties for seaside resorts has just ap- peared in the flogs-embroidered tulle mantillas, which come in_different shapes, The capuchon is much favored, but is not_so becoming as the. scarfs, which after enveloping the head aretied behind, and fall in the back. THE COMING MUSICAL EEASON in Paris will be inaugurated by the first repre- sentation of the “Forza del Destino,” by Verdi, and curjosity is on the qui vive as to its success, as all the artists who are to take part in it have never been heard here. ¢ La Viellesse de Love- Iace,” just completed by Messrs. Leon and Beauvallet, will be performed at the Theatre- Cluny next September, and, with the care which hias been bestowed upon it, promises great suc- cess. Another star is arising in the musical horizon, aud the absence of Mme. Krauss has been the means of bringing forth another futiire promises to rrima donna, whose be of great value to the Grand Opera. Mlle. de Reska was sclected by the manager to perform the role of f2ackel in “La Juive,” to whicn she did full justice, although it was contrary to general expectution. This young lady, who is quict pretty and attractive, promises to be a_great favorite. A noticeable event has transpired at Toulouse,where M. Beth- clier was presented with two crowns of gold leaves in_commemoration of the services ren- dered by him and his troupe_to the sufferers by the inundation of the Faubourg St. Cypricn. One was_presented by the Mayor of Toulouse on behalf of the citizcns, and the other by the Freemasons. Many ladies were present at the presentation of the crowns, and the eflective ceremony will long be remembered by the citi- zens of Toulous MATHILDE. ————— HUMOR.

Sometheng Said Concerning Sev- eral Celebrities. Vanderbilt and His Sons---Frank Moul- ton---Bowen--- Gen. Kittary--- Emma Abbott---Anna Dick- inson---‘‘ Leander "--- ‘* Orpheus C.Kerr ~—The Sullivans. Special Correspondence of The Tridune. New York, Aug. 16.—Vanderbilt must stand at the head of my picture-gallery to-day, be- cause he is the centre of great interests which rise and fall with the daily bulletin. The old gentleman clings to life with a tenacity which surprises those who do not know that he has a frame as tough as that of one of his locomo- tives, rendered extraordinarily enduring and flexible by great regularity of habits and utter temperance. He is cheerful and even hopeful, and when one of his daughters, Mrs. Thorne, stooped over his pillow the other day prior to leaving for Saratoga, the plucky old railroad kingsaid: “Tell Thorneto move intomy cottage; 1shan’t want it till next summer !" It recalls the question of Thad Stevens to the blacka- moors who were carrving his” palsied frame up stairs to his seat jn Congress, “ Boys, how shall 1 get up these steps after you are dead?’ If Vanderbilt makes up his mind to live, he prob- ably will live, and go to his Saratoga cottage next summer. When a man with an iron will like Vanderbilt's takes a grip on those nerves of vitality which centre at the back of the head, he can fight off death and the doctors. IS CHILDREN. - Commodore Vanderbilt has ten living chil- dren, two sons and eight daughters; some thirty odd grandchildren, and half-a-dozen great grandchildren,—one, & son of William IL., being 4 man grown. The probuble shape of the will is being discussed. It is understood that Will- jam M. Vanderbilt, the older son, will be well provided for, and endowed with a large part of the railroad interests which his father has man- aged with such consummate skill. This city is full of gossip concerning the probable provision that will be made for the other son, Cornelius J. Vanderbilt. Those who belicve_the Gommo- dore to Lie a man of stern justice think the sce- ond son will be cndowed with some important railroad interest, while others accept the cur- rent rumor that he will be classified with the daughters, and, like them, receive only a small porficn of the vast estate. Cornelinsis a man of perhaps 40. For thirty years of hig lifc, be- ginning in infancy, he was the victim of an aflliction from whick few ever recover, and which entircly incapacitated him for any exer- tion whatever. Some eight years ago he began to throw it off, and his constitution has now ac- uired nearly its normal tone. He is tall, about 6 feet, and & slight stoop of the shoulders be- trays a mark of the disease which he has con- quered. He hasa thin, high head, clear blue eyes, facilespeech, an earnest mauuer, and quick, expressive gestures. He dresses with neat plainuess, and looks more like a Methodist min- ister without & parish than a son of the great commercial miflionairc. He has a -very good education (aud how he attained it with his dis- abilitics is_a wonder), and_much more literary taste and ability than any other Vanderbilt. o is_social, amiable, affablc, and popular, and much liked by a wide circle of acquuintances, who, like the buzzing city outside, wonder whether the stern old man will brand him as a social pariah, or give him aliberal * setting-up " in business. Puablic opinion inclines to the lat- ter conclusion. Perhaps the sequel will reach you before this letter doas. fMY DEAR VON MOLTKE.” Coming home from my office to-day, I_drop- cd into the salt store presided over by Frank Moulton,—the man whom uem-; Ward Beccher embraced and sald ina letter *God had lifted up”’ to hide his sins for him. I found the Mu- tual Friend submerged in a pile of MS., and I actually bad not the brass to ask him whether it was a brief of his pending case or a treatise on the best method of salting sheep, He had just come in from the three days’ international yacht race; he sailed in Ben Butler’s gallant old yacht America, which beat the Countess of Dufferin in her holiday rig without half trying. Moulton’s face was # ruddy brown, and “even his tremendous shock of fiery hair seemed to Dave gathered 1 redder tinge from exposure to the sun, and it was full of wind and stood ‘‘six ways for Sunday.” He is in prime health, hope- ful and confident, believing that the truth will all come out at last, aud that an average jury will sce it and heed it. I did not hug him, but [ felt like it; for I believe him to be one of the most perscented, maligned, and -long-suffering men that this country has produced,—plucky and yet tender, of a chivalrous, magnanimous, and truly heroic temper. “THE PATRIARCH.” This is the honorable nickname which sar- castic Plymouth Church now applies to the man who built it and leit it when 1t had become demoralized and corrupt,—Henry C. Bowen. I met one-of Mr. Bowen’s sous in~ the street on Suturday, and asked him if his father would testify in Moulton’s suit against Beecher for defamation of character. Certainly be will,” Mr. Bowen promptly replied, “if he Is sum- moned, nmi,&th(: truth can come out,.mark my words, lie will be completely vindicated.” 1It’is belicved that the Patriarch will make the fur fly if he is allowed to stand up and tell his story with the protection of a court of justice. The old gentleman, who is such a terror to evil-doers, is spending the summer at his pleturesque country-seat at Woodstack, Conn., where the dreadful lettér was written which Ar. Claflin tried to induce him to “explain to mean sonfbthing clsc.” He has been there since Junel. On the Fourth he threw open his beau- tiful Roseland Park, and has celcbrated the Centennial ever since with Saturday-alternoon concerts, Withmusic by the Putnam Band. The park includes 50 gcres of land, with ample groves, with boating, bathing, and sporting fa~ cilities, and 5,000 pcople from the country round attended the last concert. Till October Mr. Bowen will stick to his pleasant retreat with his family, keeping clear of scandal-mon- crs. B CONFECTIONERY. ““What {s the most expensive candy you ever saw?" asked Col. H. 8. Olcott as I dropped in on him the other day. I ventured several an- swers to hie saccharine conundrum, instancing au unsuspecting young man who reccived a paper of caromcls from a Jady, and was thereby cajoled into paying for ball-tick- ets, Wwater-ices, and innumcrable’ sleign- rides. “Not on the track of the solution,” said Oleott, “for that youth )fiobnhly Teceived his pay as he went along.” He then said he had just helped cat a $1¥pound of candy. It seems that Gen Kittary, the Centennial Com- -missioner from Russia, while calling on the Countess Blavatski in this city, received from a friend in Moscow a box of bon-bonk,—candied fruits,~just a pound. They are sold for $1 at our candy stores. The charges were as follows, and the polite diplomat, with an internal shrug and grimace, footed the bill and perspiringly laid the sacred box in the lap of his wife: Bon:-bons—Expressage from Moscow to New York........ Tarifl at Port of New York. Costom-House brokerage. Cartage in New York. . eese B $14.10 iguce being not only a_Centennial Commissioner, but also a member of the Privy Council of the Russian Empire ana Professor of Technology in the University of St. Perersburs, could not afford to make a protest, so he merely passed the box around, and expended his in- dignation upon the weather! However,—to be candid,—$14 a pound is too much. MISS EMMA ABBOTT. One word about the new Amcrican prima- douna. I, among others, was misled by the current stories about her marriage. I have since learned that B. F. Carpenter’s version re- cently “published by you and copied here, is strictly true and just. "A correspondent criticises it in your columns, and calls Miss Abbott t count for *‘keeping her clandestine marriage s cretforyears.” \What is she talking about ! M Abbott has at the present time been married on two or three months; her contemplated mar- riage was known to all of her friends and ap- Dbroved of by them; it was performed in public, and was announced in the Paris papers of the same day; and ler husband is worth from §50.000 to $100,000, and would take his wife off the stage at once if she were witling to forego the triumphs that seem to be in store for her. So much for that. 7 § o AR nflcmsow. . spent a pleasant hour last evening with Miss Dickinson at the Fifth A\‘uuucflnlcl?whcrt she tarries for a day or two in transit.

What is the use of an ephemeral ecritic entering the lists against such a bundle of unconquerable forces! She speaks ns if she possessed courage enough to head an expedi- tion to the North Pole, and patience cnough to find a new asteroid. In uwce‘i or two she begins her fall campaign in the East and proceeds Westward. ‘ TWENTY BULLETS IN IS BODY." Please don’t mourn any more for Leander S. Richardson, who was reported killed by Indians on his way to the Black Hills. He has turned up in a telgraph disputch. Mr, Injun didn’t get him. His memorandum-book was reported found on a “*riddled " cadaver; even his excel- lent step-mother was a little anxious about him, well as ghe kneyw him; his old cronies put their tongues in their cheeks and made gestures of incredulity; his poor young wife, Addic Gilman, who plays the part of a soubrette at the Fifth Avenuc'Theatre, invested §50in franticdispatches to Omaha, Chicago, Bismarck, Cheyenne,and Salt Lake City. and now he lives tohave more obitua- ries written about him.

JEROME. —————_ GOVERNOR OF KANSAS, o the Editor of The Tribune. CnrcAGo, Aug. 18.—For the benefit of the Republican party, and justice to the many Kansans who regularly read your valuable paper, I take this method to make a few cor- rections. In your political heading in this morning’s TRIBUNE it should read Captain in- stead of Colonel George T.. Anthony. The nomince for Governor of Kansas, Capt. George T. Anthony, is a cousin of Col. D. R. Authony. He has been United States Revenue Collector of Kansas for 2 number of years, and has been a strong Republican since the birth of the party. Although he has never been so_active nor-so well known as his cousin, Col. D. R. Anthony, he hasshown himself worthy to head the Repu lican ticket. A former resident of Malone, N. Y., the birthplace of Wiiliam A. Wheeler, and a citizen of Kansas of fifteen years, I fulle"prcdict 25,000 Republiean majority Tor Hayes, Wheeler, and Anthony, from “bleeding Kansas.”” Re- spectfully yours, _S.M.R. [The writer of the editorial paragraph was misled by the dispatches to the evening papers, which said it was Col. D. R. Anthony who was nominated.—EDp.] A Tunnel More than a Mile Long. San Franciseo Bulletin. A dispatck reaches us to-day that the work of cutting through the San Fernando ‘Lunnel, on the Soumthern Pacific Railroad, has been com- pleted: This is one of the greatest achieve- ments ip railroad construction accomplished on the Padific Coast. The Jength of this tunnel, cut through the San Fernando Mountains, is 6,906 feet, or 1 mile and 1,936 feet. With the comyletion of this work, the Southern Pacific Reflroad between San Frimcisco and Los An- cles will soon beopened for trafic. There have been some remarkable specimens of en- gineering skill in building this road. The tunnel throngh the Tehachipe Pass is unigue, from the fact that in the windings of the tunnel one part of the roadway is over the other. The San Fernando Tunnel is by far the longest one on the Pacific Coast. The longest on the Central Pacific in crossing the Sierra is not more than 1,200 feet, not a fifth of the length of this one piercing the San Fer- nando Mountains. The work has also been carried out with unprecedented dispatch. It is Tnot two years since the first borings were made. Many diillcultics have had to be encountered. San Fernando is the petroleum region of Los Angeles, and there were some fears lest in tun- neling the mountain the workmen might come upon a vast reseryoir of petroleum, or equally noxions fluids and gases. The great obstacle has been the character of the rock, and the enormous pressure upon the timbers placed as supports. “To obviate this pressure, the tunnel will be lined with masonry of strong resisting power.
