12 ’ PARIS. The Grand Review of Forty Thou- sand Troops. Scenes on the Ground---The Re- tarn from Longchamps. ~ Some of the People One Meets on the Champs-Elysees. fhe Government of ‘Moral Order” at Work---The Plague of Spies. Special Correspondence of The Tribune, ‘Pazis, France, July 2.—From both a spectac- iar and military point of view, yesterday’s Re- view was a decided success. - Who does not love aspectacle? And what spectacle is there so be- coming to Paris, so peculiarly fitted to make the beautiful city show to advantage, as that afford- ed by the gathering and marching of troops dressed out in all the ‘pomp and circumstance” of mimic war? It is on a Review-day that we sce Paris at its very best. The green avenues, the shady boulevards, are so many admirable frames for a series of brilliant pictures. Red breeches, flashing breastplates, and glistening bayonets streamed along the mauy roads lead- ing to the Bois de Boulogne, from an early hour in the morning yesterday. By 1, most of the troops that were to be inspected had mustered inthe wood. There they remained, under the leafy shelter of the acacias and becches, until 2, when they began to take up the positions as- signed to them on the sunburnt race-course at. ‘Longchamps. BETWEEN THIRTY AND PORTY THOUSAND MEN were under arms. The order was the same as at last year's review. TheInfantry were ranged in three parallel columns, stretching half-way across the ground, between the Moulin and Boulogne. . Behind the Infantry were the Ar- tillery; and to the right of the Artillery, the Cavairy, consisting of Cuirassiers, Dragoons, Chasseurs, and mounted Republican Guards. ‘The tribunes had not accommodation enough for half the people who had received tickets. It must ve confessed that the authorities at the Elysce were not responsible for the smallness of the space in the tribunes; but, knowing how limited it was, it did seem a trifle absurd that. - Uicy should bave issued about twice as many tickets as there were seats. The Presidential stand was ascrowded asthe rest. Madame de Mac- Mahon (in a cream-colored dress) arrived shortly before 3, and took her scat in front, with Mme. Ja Generale Ladmirault, Mile. Ladmirault, Marsbsl Canrobert, and a number of diplomatic aud fashionable personages. Immediately after. the booming of cannon announced the near approach of MARSIIAL MAC MAHON, and presently a glittering cortere of horsemen was scen in the distance, issuing from the ver- dant alleys surrounding Bagatelle, Sir Richard Wallace's estate. We'were soon able to make out the Marshal, mounted on a magnificent English thoroughbred bay, aud attended by fully 2 hundred officers,—amongst them most of the Generals in Paris, the Marquis d’Abzac, and the foreign attaches. Nothing could have been more effective than the group they formed as they approached. The gold lace of the Generals’ cocked hats flashed and sparkled only less than the helmets of the cuirassiers. A capital contrast to the sober uniforms of the French officers was formed ‘by the ecarlet coat of Col. Conolly, one of the British representa- tives, and by the hussar-jacket of the Austrian attache. Germany was represented in the splendid procession by Maj. von Bulow and Cape Theremin; Great Britain by Col. Conolly and Capt. Howard, R. N.; Russia by Gen. Prince de Sayu-Witigenstein and Admiral Lik- hatchef. I spare you the names of the vari- ous attaches of Austria, Italy, Sweden, Portu- zal, andthe rest. I must not fonzet Turkey. though. She hadsent two gentlemen to sus- tain her dignity,—Raif Bey and Chakir Effendi. These 1 mention particularly, for they were more conspicuous, not only by their utterly de- jected air, but also by their being mounted on two spiritless-looking brutes, which a friend of uiine recognized as belonging to Pellicr’s Riding School. . Times. are- for the unfortunate Moslems justnow! .. Marshal MacMahon was PRETTY WELL RECEIVED by the crowd. There was no attempt at a hostile manifestation, thouzh rumors of an in- tended disturbance had been floating about Paris the day before,—put in circulation, 1 sus- pect, with ‘intent, by agents of the “Moral- Order” party, who would naturally rejoice in any riot for the sake of being allowed to quell It. An emeute at this moment would be in- valuable to the Ministry; but there will not be any emeutes, uvless M. Fourtou has re- course to the old Bonapartist tricks of the notorious Uouses-Hanches. After a rapid inspection of the troops massed onthe ground, Marshal MacMahon stationed himself opposite the central tribune, slightly m advance af his staff, and the march past began. First, as usual, came the two battalions of St. Cyr. The young fellows are great favorites, and, as they went by the Marshal, marching splendidly together, they were loudly cheered: At the side of the foremost ranx walked the St. Cyr Chaplain, whose black gown and priest’s hat looked strange enough beside the blue and zed breeches of the Military School. Next came the brigade of Gen. Geslin (Commandant de 1a Place de Paris), composed of Republican Foot- Guards, Sappeurs-Pompiers, a battalion of Chasseurs,—the Sixth,—which distinguished itself in the suppression of the Com- mune at Marseil!cs,—and a battalion of the Seventy-second Line Regiment. The Repnb- Jican Guards were hardly up to the mark, but the Pompiers and Chasceurs marched capitally. By-the-by, what a perfect genius French itary tailors have for making the soldiers look ridiculous! It is hard to conceive ANYTHING MORE GROTESQUE than the get-up of those unfortunate Pomplers. Such coats! such breeches! Heaven defend us trom French tailors.! Yet here, where every ove ects up for a possessor of good taste (it is Superiluous to say, in matters relating to feminine adornment, with reason, thouch less now than formerly, may be), I verily believe the comicality of 2 Pompier is wholly un- suspected. . Geslin’s brigade was followed by that of Gen. de Villers, consisting of Gendar- nierie Mobile, Engineers, ‘and two battalions of the Tenth Military Division,the Seventy- sixth and Eignty-ninth Regiments. This last is, or rather was, the old Irish Regiment, raised, during the reign of Louis XVI., by the Chevalier Dillen, an Irish Jacobite who follow- ed * the King” into exile. After these came a Jong series of line regiments. On the whole, these poor liners have little attention paid them ‘by the public. To military men, however, they fre perhaps the most interesting feature in a Review, for itis from them, and’ not from the show-regiments, that a correct estimate of the arms alone can be gathered. With few excep- tons, the men marched well,—especially the One-Hundred-and-Second and. One-Hundred- and-First,—and it is no trifting matter to march pices cote a Bence pitiless. duly sun pour- ing down 150 degrees of heat upou aching $ and Weary shoulders. posaening weeks BUT THE GREAT TREAT of the Review is always the detile of the Artil- lery and Cavalry. Both. especially the first of these arms of the French service, are in a mag- nificent state of effectiveness. Four regiments of Artillery, under command of Division-Gen- eral Laffulje. went by at asmsrt trot. Each live coneisted of six guns. It was beautiful to see how admirabie the sun-carriages moved: in Most cases the whole sit were perfectly level, so that you could look right throuch the space between’ the wheels without finding one an iuch before the others. Equal praise is gue to the Chasscurs and the Mount- ed Republican Guards,—splendid, soldierly fellows, well-mounted,” and dressed in &@ Best uniform of black coat, white breeches, and red plumed casques. Tbe passage of the Cavalry closed the Review. AS coon as the Cuirassiers_had vanished the immense crowd started bomeward,—some by boat, others by sail.—but” the majority preferred taking the road throurh the wood. It was not easy to find acarriage. I had the rare good luck, neverthe- less, to drop upon one near the Lake, the own- erof which consented to carryme down the Avenue des Champs-Elysees on terms not ‘utterly exorbitant. 1 WHAT.A CROWD there was! Troops going back to their bar- racks; elegant mondaines and dashing demi-mondaines taking advantege of the return from Longchamps to dis- is polltnians princes otters atressan ficial; polit s," princes, officers, actresses, ‘ll jostlin one another, ficuratively and Hter- ally, on that grand hizhway between the Arc de ‘Triomphe and the-ruined Palace. ‘That little man leaning back luxuriously in the open car- rigae there is the Duc de Broglie. A little far- ther on fs the Princess de Ligne. Just behind THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JULY 22, her rides an ex-favorite of the Varictes; and the ‘occupants of the barouche that passes me just in front of the twin mansions of the Duc dAudiffret-Pasquier and M.

My friend was right. - The Ot- toman steeds were borrowed. MORAL ORDER, _ or what is so called, is having a joyful time of it. ‘There is no Parliament now to fetter the hands of our ministers; nor, indeed, if they could help it conveniently, would there ever be. The most strenuous efforts are being made_by the Bonapartists to get the electious put off to the last possible moment. All sorts of ingen- ious interpretations are given to the very sina ple text of the constitution, which orders that the “electors shall be convened within three months” from the date of a dissolution. Of course, itis plain to any candid-minded person that this means that the elections are to take place within the specitied time. Not so, say the virtuous partisans of Moral Order. It merely means that the ‘electors are to be convencd:"” nothing obliges us to take the votes of the con- stitucncies till—and here the Monarchists are at issue among themselves; three weeks after, say the Orleanists; the Bonapartists haye a bolder reading, and substitute ‘till convenient.” It would be convenient at the Greek Kalends. Meanwhile, all the Reactionary journals clamor daily for a reorganization of tie judicial Ad- ministration. ° Every Judge, Councitur, and petty Commissaire de Police, suspected or convicted of a Republican bias, is to be dismissed, and rightly-thinking men dre to fill the vacancies. As for the Prefects and Sub-Pretects, their reorganization is pretty complete. No Strafford could surpass de Fourtou in “thorough”’-ness. But, in their beautiful anxiety for the salvation and regener- ation of their countrymen, the Ministers zo even further than all this. Borrowing a leaf of their Jesuit friends, they nave come to the con- clusion that it wouid be rood for our souls, and beneficial to Moral Order, to increase the num- ber of plain-dress policemen. Since they made up their minds on this point, we have had to keep a check upon our tongues. O happy ‘Americans! what do you know of.spies? To us they are familiar, and now doubly so. They come, ‘not single spics, but in battalions.” In favt, we are suffering from A VERY PLAGUE OF SPIE! They infest the cafes, brush sleeves with you on the boulevards, and stand bebind you as you read the Presidential proclamations on the walls.. A workman bought a newspaper at a kiosk the other night. When he had read the political news in it, he had the imprudence to make the excusable comment, “Quel cochon que Je Marechal!” tad he made the reflection to himself, 1t would not have mattered. Even private detectives can’t object to your thinking. But, unfortunately, he made it aloud. Ar- rested. Tried. Sentenced to four months’ im- prisonment. ‘Two gentlemen were reading a decree of . Marshal| MacMahon, which was posted up beside 2 copy’ of M. de ourtou’s speech in .the Chamber. Believing they were alone. one of the gentlemen took the liberty of criticising the President for allowing his name to appear uext to de Four- tou’s. A plain-clothes ollicer standing near had him instantly walked off to the police-office. Some studepts on the Boulevard St. Michsel last week were talking of Paul de Cassagnac. One of them made use of the term, “That hor of a Cassagnac.” The remark had hardly crossed his lips, when a well-dressed, middle- aged man passing by turned round, and, to the astonishment of the student. grossly iusulted him. Naturally an explanation was de- manded, but the only explanation vouch- safed was a repetition of the. insult, coupled with the information that the well- dressed man was an Agents des Uuurs, “As a Police-Agent, I am compclled to respect vou,” aid the student; but, speaking as man to man, Vil see you hanged.” (Only he used an expres- sion considerably stronger). Eight days’ im- risonment for insult to a police-authority. Phose are a few specimens of the means em- plo by MM. de Broglie & Co. for saving Society and repressing sedition. Meanwhile, the Monarchists trample legality under foot, und Paul de Cassaguac, sentenced to two months’ imprisonment long ago, is still ram- pant and at liberty. | Harry Sr. Micner.

The date shows it to have been written at the period of the two earliest of his matches with La Bourdonnaig, the firat of which was contested dur- ing June and the beginning of July, 1834; the other in the Jatter part of July in the same year. ‘The latter has no address, and seems to have been penned to some friend who was helping him in the analysis of 2 position in his play with the redoubt- able Frenchman, which had cvidently perplexed. our country not a little, The comportment of these two famous men of chess when con- tending with each other {fa said to have presented a striking contrast. McDonnell, lymphatic of tem- perament, was dignified and composed in de- meanor: vigilant, ‘resolute, and self-possessed. ‘He sat at work maturing his conceptions with a patience and tenacity of purpose which nothing bad power to disturb. La Bourdonnais, who had a [ull share of the excitability of his nation, would jest and laugh with the gallery, pull hiv cigar, roll in his chair, and bum biy favorite airs. This was when fortune smiled benignant on him; but when she shook her swift wings and fed, be famed_and fretted, rapping out maledictions with surprising rapidity. He was much quicker in his play than his antagonist, whose tardy strategy exercised him nota little, and made him give vent to bis diasatis- faction in open grumbling, and frequent clevation of the shoulders. It fs not gencrally known that La Bourdonnais was a descendant (great- grandson, I think,) of the milita ‘com- mander and civil administrator, Bernard Francois Mahe de la Bourdonuais, who, in the last century played a distinguished part'in the eanguinary wars waged between the English and French when they fonght for supremacy on the Plains of the Carnatic, and in the Deccan. One of the most renowned deeds of this renowned soldier was - the sicze and capture of Madras froin the English in 1746. On hiszeturn to France, the wealth he bronght with him from India raised np enemies, who, by sinister means, cagged him to be prose- cuted and imprisoned. He was liberated aftera Jong detention, but the injustice he had sufferes, broke’ his heart, and he died before his time in 1754. Mishonorabie and stirring career in tne East will be found recorded in that captivating book, **Orme's History of India.” He was a Gen- eral remarkable for tactical skill, rapidity in mov- ing his troops, and the daring courage with which he carried his designs into effect. Theae qualities were, in no stinted degree, inherited from his progenitor by the illustrious chess-player with whose name we are ali so familiar. ‘Tavistock House, July 7, 1834.—Mv Dean Sin: I still cannot get overthe French attack.

Special Correspondence of The Tribune. New Yors, July 19.—It has pleased Dame ‘Fashion to be very gracious in her requirements, and in no particular are her exactions less rigorous than in the coiffure. The cardinal rule of all hair-dressing now is that whatever is most becoming is most fashion, though there are a few minor rules which cannot be overlooked. It must bea source of pleasure to every well-minded being that it isno Jonger necessary to pile upon the head a good-sized hay-stack of somebody elsc’s hair. This certainly is a great advance, and at this rate we shall soon see little besides be- corning and appropriate coiffures. Hair- dressers, who are really artists, lay down dif- Serent regulations for blondes and brunettes, and ladies who desire to achieve the most admirable results will do well to observe them. There are, of course, 2 few cases in which these directions may with advantage be reversed. These general rules are that for a blonde, or rather for light hair, the fluffiness cannot be too great, while dark hair suould be smoothly and closely arranged. Hence crimping, curling, frizzing, etc., are not only admissible, but are desirable for blonde hair, while “water-wares” and massive braids are to be encouraged. Both styles use the “Montague locks,” which arecer- tainly hideous ; but what does that matter,solong: as they are decidedly ala mode? These popular “Montague locks” need a word of description, as I believe the name is purely local, and forthe sake, of a lady's better appearance, I wish the fashion were local too. The har around the forehead and temples is cut short, and with the assistance of some stiff lather of soap or “‘bandoline,”’ a sort’ of pomade, it is held in curls turned up towards the face’and glued to | the forehead. In short, these charming Mon- tague locks are what was not so loug ago com- monly denominated ‘spit-curls.” The fringe over the forehead remains. This is crimped in the ease of elderly ladies, while young ladies and misses wear ft straight. In some faces where the brow is painfully high, this vanging of the hair tends to soften the outline and to impart a generally pleasing effect. In these cases it is to be recommended. But when the forehead is very low, itis advisable to avoid either crimps or banged hatr which would over- hang it. The prevailing coiffures are numerous. The classic Grecian knot is retained by ladies whose heads have the exquisite contour absolutely: necessary for wearing this coil. Most ladies are familiar with the manner of rearing this struct- ure of hair, but to the uuinitiated a word of. di- reetion may be welcome. The front hair is loosely waved, and all is: gathered together at the nape of the neck. There itis coiled or is made into a braid and then wound into a knot, Jow on the neck. Frizzes are sometimes worn On the forehead with this style of coiffure, but they are in execrable taste. The front hair, being loosely waved, may admit of a few negli- gent curls or little tendrils of hair, which look soft, unstudied, and hence pretty. Many ladiesadd a handsome ornamental comb, but, when young ladies adopt the Grecian coil, the comb is gener- ally omitted. ONE OF THE MOST ADMIRABLE STYLES FOR MORN- ING is the French twist, though ladies to whom it is iU-adapted shun it steadily. Everybody, I be- lieve, knows how to compound the French twist, though evervbody cannot impart to it the smoothness, firmness, and glossy look which isits charm, The twist by itself is much worn, but it ‘may be handsomely elaborated by anyone of several additions. A bow of hair may be placed at the top of the twist, or the latter may be surmounted by a few tinger-puffs. ‘This coiffure may be adopted for evening wear by adding two long curls ou the open side of the twist, and by a few flowers sect among the puffs at the top. An ex- qtemely handsome coiffure shows the hair mass- sed well upon the Gpper part of the head. The hair is drawn away from the forehead, and is secured at the back of the head. Here a double roll is made, so arranged that-the inner sides face each other. Plain but handsome side-combs are worn at the back of the head. The front hair is disposed in short irregular curls, and at the sides, covering all the visible portion of the head, are Jarge loose waves. Another much- admired coiffure is the Cadogan. The back-hair, which is drawn together at the napeof the neck, is made into a broad, massive braid. ‘Ihe enuis turned up on the outside and fastened upon the crown of the head. Here the hair is arranged in a handsome square bow, finger-pufls, or loops. Sometimes the puffs arc set to one side, while the bow of hair placed di- avonally adorns the other. -A comb is usually the finish. The bow of hair is, by-the-way, a very popular adjunct, and various are the modes used to introduce it. An clegant disposition of the hair for cveuing reveals this bow, large and loose, set diagonally on one side. The ‘other side is arranged in a series of loops, satin- stnooth, and lapped as loops of ribbon. A gold or silver comb, and tiny natural flowers among the loops, complete a handsome coiffure. All the charm of a well-dressed head does not arise froma judicious disposition of tie hair. There are ‘all sorts of elegant little affairs for enhancing the beauty of our fair dames in these summer days. The prettiest of these are of lace. They are intended for eveniug wear out-of-doors, and have been cordially welcomed by the ladies at summer resorts. They are twelve or twenty inches wide, with a rounded point at the front, and with long round ends to tie under the chin. A BEWITCHING FASHION of Spain has been Brought into our midst by our large and_fashtonable Cuban class, and the cloak of tne Bella Donna has fallen upon our own beautiful women. The lace mantle and its charming headpiece are seen frequently at the watering-places. The majority of these mantles are of lace, but some very handsome ones are of other diaphonous fabrics. These are much admired, and every lady to whose ‘style’ they are becoming avails her- self of one. Riobon bows, of tasteful and unique construction, are charming head-orna- ments. A very pretty one consists of five short ends.—two on one side and three on the other. The ribbon shows all the brilliant tints of rich Roman ribbon. Across the centre is a spray of moss-rose buds and leaves. Variations on this style make up delightfully for young girls, and for morning toilettes also are much admired. For these black ribbon fs used, with a spray of white flowers, or a handsome jet clasp or buckle. The ribbon must be always fringed, as it gives a lighter, dressier appearance. Breakfast caps continue in high favor, and constant are the improvements in this ‘line. . Some are ex- quisitely dainty, with a profusion of frothy “lace and delicate flowers; others of slicer white fabrics show vivid gleams of bright-tinted ribbons, All are very pretty, and they are so becoming that many very young: ladies regard with much indignation the’ order ex cathedra that debars them from wearing one.

Isawa very tasteful toilette with the skirt of fine plain blue per- cale, made with a deep gathered flounee. ‘The bottom was prettily embroidered in white to the aepth of four inches. The overdress formed in front a pointed apron, and was of similar form behind. The sides were filled in with a series of narrow ruffles, cach overlying the other. These ruties were of white, and were embroidered in blue. The tront and back of overdress were worked to match the sl The loose sacque was belted in at the waist. Another dainty costume was of fine’bufl lawn, the skirt ornamented by three narrow Knife-pleatings. ach of these is edged with Torchon lace of the same color, into which enters a liberal admixture of black. The polonaise, with surplice neck and sleeves open soe inches along the outside seam, is trimmed to correspond. The polonaise is very slightly draped, and wherever there is looping is 'a square bow of black ribbon. A pretty ‘ellow leghorn, coquettishly upturned at the left, is worn with tits dress. The trimming of the hat is black velvet and bunches of unripe oats. ‘A third extremely pleasing. dress was of white batiste. The siirt has two narrow Dlisses, each edged with Smyrna lace. The overdress is a polonaise, or rather a gabrielle, for it fits but loosely tothe form. This is of lace sinpen batiste, and is worn over a slip of cardinal lawn or cambric. The bottom of the polonaise is cut in castellated scallops, edged ‘With lace, and with a beading of cardinal satin ribbon. A double frill of Jace runs up the front of the garment, and handsome bows of satin ribbon and lace ere placed at regular spaces. ‘Pendent from the collar at the back is a pointed hooa of lace and cardinal ribbon, which is very novel and attractive. The end of the hood is rettily finished with a cord of cardinal tled in a Bow and tassels of thesamecolor. The bat worn with this very charming dress is a little round white chip trimmed with bands of cardi- nal satin and loops of the same, the whole set off by acluster of thick, short, white ostrich- tips. "This is an admirable way of MABING UP ANY WHITE GOODS, imparting a tastefnl bit of color in a pleasing way. for lawn-parties, picnics, and entertain- ments of this sort, very tastefui and even hand- some dresses may be made at little expense. Organdies, lawns, percales, and cambrics are the most suitable materials, and now the list is swelled by the advent of’ the lovely figured, striped, and damask linens. These new goods come in all the fashionable tints, but are pret- tiest in cera and gray. Some show a Jace stripe in conjunction with a damask one, and others baye @ satin and plain stripe alternating. A very pretty linen shows a. delicate blue stripe satin-finish, united with a lace one of paleecru. ‘This dress is charmingly made up With a deep flounce anda polonatse, with sleeves of blue silk and trimmings.

Spectat Correspondence of The Tribune. Pants, July 7.—As the fashionable world is fast deserting Paris, it will be more agrecable to accompany these pleasure-seekers than torecard events now agitating those who remain in the heated metropolis. A. few days’ sojourn at Trouville, Etretat, or at Dieppe, with its delignt- ful suburb, le Pollet, and other favorite summer resorts, affords a more favorable view of luxu- rious surroundings, the charms of youth and beauty, and magnificent toilettes, than a mid- winter Parisian season.’ The concentration of wealth at Dieppeis greater than at any other watering-place. Many go there for the simple reason that they must pay 10 francs for what they elsewhere would be charged hul{ that amount for. ‘The toilettes are very luxurious, but not propor- Honally: recherche, and to my cursory view there seemed an undue number of ugly womet These, however, do not detract from the fault- less charms of many well-known Parisian beau- ties, some of whom re really magnificent in toilettes strictly oppropos to the demands of every occasion. Promenade dresses of white and delicately-tinted mohair, with short skirts, are conspicuously pretty on the beach carly in the evening, and the embroidered mantles which accompany them look as if India had selected this opportunity of displaying itschoicest goods. Breakfast toilettes vary as much as those for other occasions, but certainly THE MOST CHARMING are those woru by the beautiful Duchess d’A—. Some of these open over exquisitely embroider- ed tabliers; others, of plain French mull, entire- ly destitute of embroidery or lace, are profusely trimmed with tiny crimped rutiles, which com- pletely cover two deep flounces around the demi- trained skirt, as well asthe plain front breadths, where they are arranged diagonally, presenting alight and rippling appearance which crimping by hand only can produce. Torsades of these ruilies extend from the waist to the lower edge of the skirt behind, and. on the sides, and nothing more beantiful can be imagined than tnis diaphanous mass of crimping. A little breakfast cap of the same material, plain white silk stockings, and Tallien slippers completed this harmonious toilette,—perhaps more effective on account of the gorgeous display which sur- rounded it. The Casino isthe grand rendez- vous for magnificent toilettes, where music, dancing, operettes, and vaudcvilles serve to pass away thetime. The greatest varicty in styles is here displayed, and,if some of the noy- elties may be regarded as Indications of next season's fashions, we may again see skirts cath- ered or plaited all around, for there are several || of these worn by leaders’ of fashion at Dieppe. There isan evident desire to depart from the classically rigid sheaths which have at length reached their climax. and as fashion cannot re- main stationary it must necessarily expand. . BATHING DRESSES are with a few exceptions fearfully ugly, and the desire to improve on old styles only renders them Brotrete: The plain biue-flannel dress, with the fulloess gathered in at the waist by means of a ieather belt, will not enter the water as gracefully.perbaps.as one more closely fitting the form, and ornamented with braiding, gener- ally in Grecian pattern; but it will look equally well when it comes forth, and does not require the large pelgnoir to be thrown over it on emerging from the water, which is now one of the appurtenances of a fashionable bathing suit. Riding habits are very beautiful, with the ex- ception now and then of a yellow feather and metal buttons, or perchancea bunch of nod- ding plumes in gaudy colors, Hunter’s green is the favorite volor for these costumes, aud it harmonizes well with the sombre hues of the grand old forests ot Dieppe, which areeven more Stately and imposing than those of Fontaine- bleau. Full of song-birds, and forever mur- muring as the sea breeze sweeps through its depths, the forest of Arques attracts many vis- itors with its mysterious grandeur and legend- ary lore. Here, Henry IV. wandered in the gutse of a peasant, by which means he passed the sentinels of his enemies to reach the beauti- ful Gabrielle d'Estrees,in ber home at the Chatcau de Tourpes, which is just beyond the forest. This is alsoa great place of resort ou account of 1T3 HISTORICAL RENOWN, as well as Longucville, which once belonged to Jean, Count of Orleans. ‘Lhere is _a regular. line of packets running between Dieppe and New Haven, which brings daily caravans of English in gray clothes, with their eternal lorg- nettes, to visit the old chateau at the extremity of the pier, where they count the passing ves- sels. This’ chateau is flanked by towers, and was builtin 1433 by the Communists of the Province of Caux, who revolted against the English. As Dieppe is only three hours by rail from Paris, it can be readily imagined that with its various attractions itis the most popular place of resort for Parisians. Several prominent weddings have recently taken place in Paris, and two in the American colony are described a3 unusually elegant; but, with the streets nearly at white heat, and great depression on every hand, it is impossible to arouse enthusiasm outside of the political arena The unusual number of suicides is attracting much attention, and a prominent journal ven- tures to instruct those who contemplate this diversion not to hang thetuselves, as one does not look well dangling at the end ofarope. A Young girl shot herself last week because her lover proved false and married another; a dauchter jumped into the Seine on account of thecrulty of her mother; snd several others endéd their lives for trifling causes, itis reported; but who can tell! The theatres make glowing romises for the future, but at present the ‘rancaise alone, of those which are open, 1s pay- ingexpenses. MATHILDE. ——————___ MY BEAUTEOUS LEE.

Caicaco, July 17. dos. K. C. Forrest. or Burying a Fort. Quite an original method of taking a fort is described in Blackwood’s Magazine. In 1696, a large Russian army besieged the Turkish fort of Azof, which was situated on a plain strongly fortified, snd had a small, bat well disciplined garrison. No common approaches could be made to it, as the Turkish cannon swept the level with iron hail. In this case the engineer- ing skill uf the Russians was bated, but Gen. Patrick Gordou, the right-hand man of Peter the Great, and the only one for whose death: it is said he ever shed a tear, being determined to take the place at any cost, proposed to bury it with earth by gradual approaches. He had a large army; the soil of the plain was light and den, and he set 12,000 men to work with spades, throwing up.a high circumvallation of earth wall before them in advance. The men were kept in gangs, working duyaud night, the earth being thrown from one to another like the steps td a stair, the top gang taking the Jowest place every half-hour in succession. In five weeks the huge earth wall was carried forward nearly one milc, until it rose to and above the bighest ramparts, and the earth began to rollover them. “his caused the Turkish Governor to hang out the white flag and give in. Had he not done so Gen. Gordon would have buried the fortress. = SECRET SOCIETIES. MASONIO. FAITH, HOPE, AND CHARITY. Grand Master Comly, of Montana, says: * We are taught that three principles are essential to the character of all Masons and all good men, to-wit: fuith in the wisdom and goodness of God, hope in immortality, and charity towards all mankind. One may profess the first two at- tributes, but without the last he is but a hollow sepulchre of selfishness, and tacks the light of the soul, for how can he expect that God shall be charitable towards him, if he is not so towards his neighbor. He that recognizes no obligation in his nature to relieve his fellow-man, can be but the cold pillar of self, and is adorned by no living light; he may eke out a miserable exist- ence, but can never know the joys and happi- ness with which sympathy and charity towards his fellow soothes and calms the troubled heart, and warms and inspires the pure sentiments of humanity. He that passes by on the other side his fallen brother, and merely points at him as a warning, and seeks not to aid him witha helping hand, although in public display be may give profusely of his abundance, is but a fraud and a cheat, and lacks the noblest principle of mnanhood—that of charity.” DECISK The following decisions, approved by Grand Lodges, will bold good in almost every juris- diction: ; ‘The payment of one year's dues cannot reinstate for tive years’ delinquency. Acandidate for the Fellow Craft degree who cannot write mast not be passed: The families of non-affiliates have no claims on the todge for charity. Those who clsim benefits Must bear an equal share of the burdens, or show a willingness to do so. Where a non-afiiliate pays dues, the lodge may extend to him the beneit of funeral honors. If he dees not so contribate, the lodge cannot bury him with Masonic honors. A lodge cannot grant a dimit on conditfons. An entry inthe minutes that a member is to havea dimit on payment of duce, dnd he being delinquent for ducs at the time, is of no validity. A brother holds a dimit from Lodge S; petitions Ledge M: resiaes ve miles from Lodge S, four- tewn miles from Lodge M. Can the latter recelve him? tie13 under the jurisdiction of Lodge S. Lodge M cannot admit him unless Lodge $ has re- jected him. A Mason commits enicide; should he be buried with Masonic honors? It ‘is the opinion of the mist eminent medical men that no sane man-com- mits suicide. If this hypothesis be“trae, and the arty is in yood stanatog previously, and'does not ring on his mental aberration by dissipation or some other immoral cause, and the usnal request be made by the family, the burial honors should not be withheld from ‘him. The lodge should al- ways judge of the circumstances under which the act was committed, and exerciee » prudent dis- cretion. A person ‘* blind in one eye” cannot be made a ‘Mason under the rnlings of the Grand Lodge, and alodge conferring the E. A. Degree upon such a candidate was clearly in ‘tne wrong and guilty of extreme neglizence, . What is the ase of the Com- ittee of Investigation, always appointed on the petition of a profane, if not to makea full and care- ful investigation into tae candidate's physical as Well as his moral qnalification? The candidate can receive no farther degrees, and the Committee that Fecommended iy petition should be disiplined,— ‘aneas. An Entered Apprentice who bas lost an eye may bedvanced. “A person deprived of vither of the husaan senses of seeing, feeling, or hearing, is hyeically disqualified for receiving the degrees In jasonry. But the loss of one eye is said, by op- ticians und physiologists, to strengthen the other. ‘The rule should be construed liberally, as we deal ingpeculative Masonry only. If the subject is ca- pable of performing ull the duties and functions required of him in the ritualistic, theoretic, and practical workings of our Order, he ought to be permitted to advance. ~Ltssissippi. Wat should be done with Masons who are, in any manner, connected with a duel between pro- fones, bat especially where Masons are parties 7 Dueling is forbidden’ by the laws of God and man. The principles of our Order do not adit or toler- ate it. The Committee on Complaints and Offenses should take cognizance of such cases, if they occur. investigate. and report to the lodge for further action. ‘There ia scarcely a duel fougdt which might not have been prevented by the interposition of friends. Masons can exercise # potent intu- ence, morally, in adjusting difficulties among neighbors. 0. B.S.
