THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 1877—SIXTEEN PAGES PARIS. The Death of Louis-Adolphe Thiers. His Last Moments at St. Germain--- France in Mourning, ‘Why His Friends Would Not Consent to a State Funeral, Jules Grevy {he Soceessor of Thiersas Head of the Repablican Party. Speclal Correspondence of The Tribune. o, Panis, France, Sept. 7.—Ile who was yester day the preatest among living Frenchmen is no more. Louis-Adolphe Thiers—the Liberator, as he will be gratefully called by his sorrowing ountrymen when time shall have softened po- litical passion and killed the jealousies now rag- inz round his grave—passed away quictly from the scenes of Lis life-work on Monday evening, at the Royal town of St. Germain-en-Laye, where he had been residing ever since his return from Dicppe. At onc end of the famous Terrace of St. Ger- 1mafn, overlooking a wide and beautiful pros- pect, stretehing from distant Montmartre to the luser Heights of Bongival and Mont Valerien, between which wanders the placid Seine, bor- dered with frequent villas and hamlets, there stands F THE PAVILLON HENRI IV., ‘popular among lovers of good fare and mirth as the Richmond “Star and Garter.” Though now turnud 1o the base uses of a hotel and res- taurant, the Pavillon Heori IV. had a history of its own before Adolphe Thiers chose it as a resi- dence. An ipscription over the iron ratdway {facing the park outside tells all the world that in thosc unassuming walls Louis the Superb, fourteeuth of his name, was born. From the windows of his ropm Adolphe Thiers had, as it were, 8 panorama of the closing scenes in his life before him. Valerien recalled the dark ‘hours of France's agony, the Prussian legions, and the first sieze. Montmartre, where the scatfoldinz of the Church of the Sacred Heart was visible, reminded him of the deliverance from the invager, and the decp horror of the Commune, which he and his supplaoter in pow- er, MacMahon, had so sigually repressed. All that fertile plain at his feet was but lately alive with war, dreadfol and pitiless, from which he, perhaps more than any man, had delivered it. But the times rush on quickly in France. Al shese matters were of the past, together with the short two years of his Dictatorship. He had lived to be hailed a5 3 savior, to be burled ‘back into privacy by intriguers, and to be azain anxiously looked to as a possible deliverer. It is-scarcely 2 week since we were reading of the addresses and congratulations he had been re- ceiving on 21l sides. Despite his §0 years, no Tame Wwas more in men’s mouths,—none seemed more necdful to his country. A sudden illness changed everything, and FILLED PRANCE WITH MOURNING. Last Monday, M. Thiers rosc as usual at 5 o'clock, and took a-cup of coffec. He worked till half-vast 7 in bis study, when he went for o walk with his maitre-d'hotel Louis, and, after returning, rcsumed his interrupted writing. As be had several eagagements calling him to Paris, he took his dejeuner a little carlicr than was his castom. Madame Aubry, the directress of “the hote, came im0 his room as he was getting ready to start, and asked him as a favor to attach his signature toa small photograph. M. Thiers appears not to have relished the re- auest, for it is said he answered, T don’'t like this copy; but as I am guivg to Paris prescotly T will bring you back 1 lare photegraph of my portrait by Bonnut, aud I promise you shail have a dednation under itto please you.?? Madame Aubry vever had her autograph, and tne next journey to Paris was the last. M. Tuiers was “sitting at table with _his wife and sisters in the enjoyment of ail bis faculties, mental and bodily, when he guddenly esclaimed, “Thens! Ifect unwell—1I can't breathe—I am chokinz!® A wiudow was upcned, aud they carried him to a sofa. to let him feel the fresh air. Presently be was scen vainly trying to speak. The words would not come. He made a fecble siem to explain that he wanted to write, but could not; after which be fell into a sort of etupor. The doctors were - instantly sent for, but their skill was powerless, und, shortly after 6 o'clock on the evening of the 3d of September, Adolphe Thiers PASSED QUIETLY FROM THE WORLD. The news of the calamity reached town very elowly. Noncof the evening pavers bad a word about it, nor did even the Debats publish n line on the eubject next morning. London heard what bad bappencd towards noon, but merely through & curt telegram containing the bare aunouncement -of the fact. Tune Republigue Francaise, however, appeared on the tnorning of the 4th with a dt.'e? black border, and gave the news to the startled Cavital. It came likea thunderciap. People hardly believed it, and it was only a?l.er anxious inquirics at the hotel in the Place St. Georges had confirmed the evil tidings that'it bezan to find credence. As soon as_they heard of M. Thiers’ death, Mme. de MacManon and the President tele- iphed messages of condotence to the widaw, cxpressing their profound sympathy. A con- tinual stream of visitors flowed in and out of the Pavillon HenriIV. all that morning. As early 15 7 o’clock, Meissonier, the illustrions painter, who was a great friend of the deceased, made a sketch of M. Thiers as he lay on bhis death- ned,—that inzeparable tiny couch om which he had slept in all the Cngiuds of Europe. The ortrait is onpe-fith the natural size. To Meisconfer succeeded M. Altred Lenoir, the sculptor, who took 8 careful moacl of M. Thiers’ hend and arm away with him; Jules Simon, Prince Orloff, Jules Favre, Edmond About, and many others,—all a prey to the most evident sorrow. Marshal MacMalion was away in the provinces, organizing au clectoral campaign against the man who had been chauged by the strange play of circumstances from a friend to a foc and rival; but at the sad news he immediately returned to Parls, to de- Tiberate with his Ministers as to the steps to be taken for doing worthy honors to his great pre- decessor. At the meeting that was hastily con- voked, it was decided that M. Thiers should lave a siate funeral at the Invalides, under the Toof which covers the recovercd ashes of his grana hero, Napoleon. Unhaspily THE PLAN FELL THROUGH, owing to the opposition—regretable on every account—of Mme. Thiers; or, to be correct. of her fricnds, M. Barthelemy de St. Hilaire, Ad- 1miral Pothuau, and others,—old fellow-work- ers and political associates of M. Thiers, who couldnot agree to leave the initistive of homage %o men _like M. Fourton and hic genus omne, bis deadlicst cnemies when . living; fearing probablytnat Government would make political capital of its magnanimity, and. nuuug{ur,\lmg. Thiers, they attached such conditions to their consent to a state funeral that the idea bad re- Juctantly to be abandoned. Y Late on Tuesday evening the body, inclosed in an ioner coffin of lead and two outer of wood, was transported to Paris, and de}msitcd inaroom of the Hotel Thiers. The Place St. Georges was crowded by persons belonz- ing to cvery class of® society, united by 8 common sorrow. From Wednesday to Friday, the house was opened to the thoussuds desirous of ingcribing their pames on the regis- ter of condolence. Probably not fewer than FIFTY OR SIXTY THOUSAND - sigmatures may now be read there. The veople formed long lines in the Rue Notre Dame de Lorctte and in the Ruc St. Georges every day, and, in defiance of wind or weather,—it was pouring on_Friday,—stoodpaticotly expectant i) their turn came. Pascal tells us that respect means interfering with one’s own comfort. Judging so, Adolphe Thiers bas had a grand tribute paid to his memory. The funeral, as as resent arranged, will take place to-day at the ittle Church of Notre Dame de Lorette, in the Rue Chateaudun. As a Senator and possessorof the Grand Cordon of the Legion d’Honneur, M. Thiers will be cscorted to his last bome _the Pere la Chaise Cemetery—with mil- jtary honmors. Eight or ten thousand troops are likely 1o be detached for the ocmginn, and, as it is feared that some attempts may be made to turn the funeral into a patitical demonstration, the soldicrs gasrison- o Paris will be keot ready at the barracks to ut down the slightest show of disturbance. peeches will be made at the grave by M. de Sacv, of the Academy, Omtry,’Jules” Simon, ‘Admiral Pothuau, and Jules Grevy. S What the ulterior consequences of M. Thiers’ death may be, it woutd be idle to foretell. It caunot 1ail to alarm the ignorant peasantry, to Whom be represented order and statility. In the provinces, the loss of their leader may cast the Republicans half-a-million votes at tbe elce- {ions. This might be sufficient to turn the Paris the eventuality of ‘Thiers’ deatk had been discussed and prepared for long since by the heads of the Republican party. Fully two months azo, you may remember, I transmitted to THE CinicAGo TRIBONE & _report of an inter- view 1 had had with a_prominent Deputy, who informed me then m‘si(.ively that_the direction of the party was likely to be shortly assumed by = M. JULES GRE 1was rightly informed. At the begioning of the week, M. Gambetta called upon the ex- President of the Chiamber, and offered him the Republican leadership. Whether M. Jules Grevy will be generally accepied by Frenchmen as_a suflieicnt suceessor to such a manas Adolphe Thiers, i a\%lestlou 1 must reserve for another occasion. Grevy is highly popu- Jar at Versgilles, and universally respected. He and his brother, M. Albert Grevy. are two rare examples of public men who have succeeded in commanding the good will of their friends and opoonents alike.” The ex-President of the Chamber is about 65 vears of age, a rood speak- er, a clear and impartial-logician, and bglonzsto ‘the moderate section of the Republicans. Haxry ST MICHEL. SECRET SOCIETIES. MASONIC, “THR GREATEST OF ALL." Al Masons are justly proud of the universal- ity of their institution; and that they belong to a society whose precepts are inculcated in every civilized land, and that they can find * breth- ren” in whatever quarter of the lobe their lot may be cast. Itis afact of which it is sensible and reasonable every member should be proud. It is a great thing to be 2 member of a unt- versal brotherhood, and, wherever travel- inz, to be surrounded, ecncouraged, and strengthened by fraternal bands. Tuis forms one of the cinef arguments in favor of Masenry, and few there are who scruple to use it as such ‘when parading the “good thiugs” of the fusti- tution before a public audience or private circle. But some forget that with the universality of the Society is connected another still more im- portant fact, without which its exteut would be of no value, and destitute of which Masonry itselfl would be worthless. This is the obliga- tion which rests upon every Mason to act Ma- sonically wherever he finds a member of the great brotherhood,—tbat is, treat every such person as he would a brotber. The obliza- tion to do so is no more circumseribed by metes and bounds than is the dwelling place of the institution itself. Masonry is universal. ‘The oblization to aid a brother in distress is equally extensive. Lodge bounds do not curtail its ficld of inlluence or operations. When we say we will aid and cherish only those that belong to cur lodge, we narrow Masonry down to a mere townshio aflair, and nullify its principles and.chanee its action throughout the world. Once establish as a rule of Masoury that each lodge shall care for and aid its own mem- bers only less tenacious thun a rope of sand and as little to be trustea for any good end. The Fratern- ity would be resolved iuto its original elements. disintegrated, dissolved.—Jlounscville, A DECISION. At aregular communication the Worshipfal Master and eleven members were present. A motion was made to acrent 3 propositior ix mewbers voted for and five azainst the same. The Worshipful Master voting in addition to the five' made a tie, and the Worshipful Master de- clared the motion lost, to which the Semior Warden objected, and appealed to the lodge. ‘The Worshipful Master overruled the objection, and declared the appeal vut of order. Answer.— The Worsbipful Master having a right to vote, if hechose to exercise that privilege, and, his vote creating a tie. his ruling that the motion was lost was correct. 2d. The Senior Warden, nor any other brother, has a right to appeal to the lodge from_the Master’s decision. There- fore his action in refusing to entertain a motion of ;u\;eal, 25 well as his positive refasal to per- mit the Senior Warden (who should have known bettel) to ignore the law, was proper, right,and is sustained. . - THE SCORE. During the Knizhts Templar prize-drill at Cleveland. the judges each separately kept a detailed score of the drilling by the competing Commanderics, and st the close made a zeneral averageof the whole. They graded on a scale of from_one to otie hundred. The result shuws that in some instances there was very close com- petition, and the successiul ones won by small majoritics. The score given below gives the fractions in sevenths, which is accounted for by the fact that there were scven judges, and in m: iz the averages these fractions were un- avoidable. The score is ereditable to all, ana noue of tire Commanderies need be ashamed of the réeord made. Given in the order of their excellence, they are as follows: Damascus Tuzh de P AS WONDERFUL AS TRUE. A Masonic lodge in Indiana was presidedover by & Master who bad an cxaggerated no- tion of discipline. One night he met his lodge fo cailed meeting (not a member absent) to iustruct them in the work. Teaching them the use of the zavel, ic had just called them up with three knocks, when he lcaned too far back. fell through a window to the ground,—~four stori and broke his neck. Picied up next mornivg, he was burfed decent- 1y, but not a Mason came to the funcral. More stranee still, not a Mason appeared any more i that village? 1t was inexplicable. Forty wom! left widows, 220 children left orphans, cighi four merchants Ieft in the Iurch with unpaid bills. Twenty years after that somebody went up into the fourth_story, broke open tfic door, and behela the lodge, a lodge of skeletons! Strange, but true, they had strictly obeyed the orders of the W. M., aud, waiting for_the knocks to seat them. swarved to death. Each was standing in aq attitude of_respectful atten- tion, “looking to the cast,” :ind had no pitving citizens taken them down they would have beeiy standing there still.—St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald. LAKESIDE LODGE held a very plensant informal sociable last Thursday atthe ludge, comer of Indiana avenue and Thirty-first street. Some 125 or 150 yere present, and s neat collation was served. The musieal vrogramme included eiht- cen numbers, and dancing was indulged in until after midnjabt. The occasion was very enjoyable, and was tended as a sort of prelude to aseries of like entertainments which will be given durinz the coming winter. There is not a shadow of a doubt.but that they will be a brilliant success. MISCELLANEOUS. There is a Royal Arch Chapter at Constanti- nople, working under the Irish Constiintion, which has been in existence for nine years, and is said to be in a verv flourishing condition. Frecwasonry has been defined by 2 learned, ‘highly-distinguished Mason as a science which is enaaged in the search after Divine Truth, and which employs symbolism as jts metnod ot in- struction. “ Guard well the inner door ™ has been often reiterated to the craft, and it cannot be too strongly impressed upon the mind of every Mason.” It should not be cnouzh that a man posses & merely negative character, against whom nothing can be said, but be who would prticipate in our mysteries, aund join fo our assemublies, should have positive virtues, He should be an honorable, live, intellizent, and cultivated man. Masonry bas no use for an educated fool, or a noral r. The Mason should have the natural abilities to crable him to comprehend its teachings, the cultivation to enable him to appreciate its beauries, and the moral perceptions necessary to enable him to live up to its precepts.—&. 7% Johnsor The spirit of true Masonicfriendship is potent for mood; it warms as well as enlightens; and if for a mowent the dark cloud of anger throws its eiade upon & Mason's mind, to chill it with guspicion and to create hostility to a brother, Masonie nterference causes it to pass away, and the beams of Masonic cherity warm back the beart of love. Its lizht reflected in rainbow hues upon the storm cloud beyond it is a token of evil passed away—a promise of affection re- newed.— Foce. It was the great and Royal Freemason. Fred- erick, King of Prussfa. who would not tolerate the practice of ducliaz in his army, thoroughly despisingr the anruments used in its justification, In like manner the renowned Brothier, Marshall Turenne, would never allow himself to be what is called *“concerned in an affair of honor.” Orice when the heroof Switzheim and the Rhine had balf drawp his sword to punish a disgusting insult to which be had been subjected by a rash young officer, be thrust it back fnto the sheath, with the words: *Young man, could Iwipe your blood from my constience with as much Zaseas I can tiils Althy proof of vour folly from my face, I would take your lifeuponthe 5pot.”— The Keystone. ODD FELLOWSHIP. CONDITION OF THE ORDER. The report of the Grand Sire, read at Balti- more last week, alluded to the continued de- pression of business and the events of the re- cent strike, and said the sequel shows a wonder- ful tepacity of the life of the Order and its per- severance and courage in maintainiog its disia- terested purpose. While the Order had fallen off in some sections, it bad more than held its * balance in 1avor of the Monarchists. I have ex- eel.lne:t private reasons for ascertaming thatin | own The ranks that were thinned by death and the bond of brotherbood will be | and nonpayment of ducs had been more than made up with new members. The general re- 1urns give the following condition of the Order: Grand Lodges, 43; subordinate Lodees, 6,675: Grand Encampments, 1,806; Lodge institutions, 40,6465 Lodge members, 456,125; Encampment members, $7,785. Expended for relief, $1,659,- 435. total revenue, $4,489,872.4G, showing an increase of 283 ges, 50 Encampments, and 1,436 Lodge members. There was a decrease in initintions of 9,307, of $9,3%3.30 in amount paid for reliel, and $224.89.24 in the revenue. New Lodees were fnstituted in Amsterdam, Holland ; several in Bera, Prince Edward’s Island; several parts of the British-American possessions, aud clsewhere. Interesting facts were given regard- ing the Order in England, Scotland, aud - othe forclzn countries, showing that it is spreading in all parts of the world. The report of James L. Ridgely, Correspond- ing and Recording Secretary, contained the fol- lowing: *We bave not only mot all the de- mands of the sick and the needy in our 7.000 Lodees and our 2,000 Encampments, but have contributed to such other objects of geueral henevolence as our means would allow. The condition of the Order is a just subject of con- gratulation to its iriends, There is notbing to excite its fears or to ereate anxiety for its future. On the contrary its carcer is auspicious in the highest dearee. Ranking among the strougest | orzzanizations of the kind in the world, it main- tains its prestige triumphantly, and, beyond & satisfactory examination of its system of dues and. benefits, and their proper reconstruction, needs no organic lezistation.” A T ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT.

Louss, Mo., Sept. 22.—The argument §o thetiotion for a terporary injunction made by the American Middlings Purifier Company to enjoin certain millers of this city from using an alleged infringement of their patent process for making flour, which has been argued in the United States Circuit Court for the past three days, terminated this evening, and the casc was taken under advisement. The motion was ar- gued by balf a dozen of the most prominent and suceessful patent lawyers in the country, and the case attracted a ereat deal of attention, the court-room being crowded each day by par- ties interested and others, and lawyers who at- tended to hear the argument by the distin- guished counsel engaged. ———e———— EMANCIPATION DAY. Sperial Dispatchto The Chicagn Tridune, SrrivcrieLp, fll., Sept. 22.—The filteenth auniversary of the Emaucipation Proclamation was celebrated to-day by the colored people of Springficld and vicinity by an imposing parade and a picnic at Oak Ridze Park, at whieh speeches were made by Gov. Cullom, Congress- man Springer, Capt. Charles Nelson, a colored orator, and_others. Spriner’s speech was an indorsement, of the conciliation policy, and so muh an culozy of the colored man as would have subjected a Demo-ratic Congressman to political fndictment if dehivered a few years ago. —————— FUNERAL OF SENATOR BOGY.

Zonon Times' Plernn Corpesponaence, I was informed tho other day by an eye-wit- ness of a characteristic incident which occurred during SkobelofPs attack upon Plevna, on the extreme left of Schakoffski’s division. When his battalion of infautry (accompanying his cav- alry conmand) came under the Hreof the twelve guns defending that portion of the Turkish line, the sokliers began shouting to *‘charge,” and commesced rushing forward.

Skobeloff then asked them if they did pot think they pre- sented a ridiculous spectacle in that position under fire. They replied that they did. Then he assured them that hie would keep them there until the next day unless they promised to keep order in the ranks and await the commands of thieir officers, instead of yellingand charging on their own account. The “men assured him that {licy sdw the force of bis remarks. They were then led forward, and behaved splendidly dur- ing the whole action. e ———— Curious Judgment in Bengal, _ A somewhat startling and rather curious judement was recently delivered by a Sessions Judge in one of the Beneal districts. Four persons were brought before him on a charge of murder, and were duly convicted; but in pass- ing seutcnce the Judge apparently found him- gelf in a difficulty. *There is no doubt,” said he, “ihat all four are guilty of murder, and are, thercfore, liable to be hanged: but I do not think it i= necessary for four lives to be taken for one, but that one case of capital pun- ishment will be enough for example!” Al- though, (n addition to this, lie said further on that “all four seem to have been equally active,” yet he concluded by ecntencing the zpparently oldest and strongest of the prison- crs tg death, aund the other three to imprison- ment for life. On an appeal to the Hish Court the sentence was not confirmed. Yet such §s the reading of the law by some of the Indian Judges. America Furnishing Gods for China. : New York Sun, The Chester Mica and Porcelain Company of this city recently shipped several bundred pounds of mica to China to be manufactured into’ household gods. The mica, before ship- ment, iscut into blocks of various sizes, the 1 t being seven inches square, and is sold by wleri-hg. On reaching China it is divided into the thinnest possible strips, and on one side of each strip is Ea.inu:d the fizure of some Chinese aivinity. When completed they are placed on a mantel or in some other conspicuous place. Sume: families have a house full of these gods. They- are very fashlonable gods, and are dis- placing some of the ancient and hideous idols of the Chinese.

Wi AMERICAN AND ENGLISII GIRLS. ‘London Trutn, 1 take it that therc are a8 many pretty girlsin England as in the United States. Then, whyis it that the cye is more attracted in watering- places by American thau by English girls? The reason is thar American girls know. how to dress, and English girls are devoid of all notion of this most praiseworthy accomplishment. T am not speaking now of irreclaimably dowdy eirls, but of girls who really do make an effort to fulfill their duty towards tle male sex. These wirls seem, however, unable to nnder- stand that what suits oneperson does not. neccs- sarily suit everyhody. If a tall, thin English girl sees a short, dumpy girl in a dress that sets off her charms to advantage, she appears soon afterwards in an exact copy of this dress, and then indulges in the pleasing delusion that she looks well in it. Thus it s that dumpy girls go about in clothes befitting tan girls, and tall girls in those befitting dumpy girls; that long faces bave hats made for fat faces, and fat faces hats made for long faces; that blouds array themsclves in colors that look well on brunettes, aud brunettes iu colors that lookwell on blonds. Now, American girls rarely fall into these errors. The other day at. Tambarg, I was standing near the spring, talk- ing to an American girl, who looked like a pict- ure, 50 harmoniously did al! the colors in which she was arrayed match and so perfectiy did she seem to make one with her clothes, like o bird in its feathers. “low do you mamage it?” I asked, ‘“‘Theroot of itall 1s,” she answered, * that we cach study our ownstyle. We never wear a dress as it comes from a dressmaker, but we drape it ourselves. We know what colors match, and we take care not to produce dis- cords. Nature has not made us all perfect. If we have too long a neck we reduce it by tying a piece of Jace round it. If weare short-necked we don’t *dress *it nigh.’ If we have long faces we don’t wear a tall, peaked hat, but if we have round faces we do. Most of us have small feet, but if our fcet are large, we don’t utterly neg- lect our shocs and our stockings. Then we never forget smaller deiafls. We know where to put a bow, and we don’t have too many of them. If our foreheads are hizh we don’t draw our hair back, and if they are low we don't drag our hair over our eycbrows. We don't wear outlandish jewelry because we happen to have it. Indeed, we very seldom wear any jewelry b all, because it looks vulzar. When e are tall we wear a quantity of petticoats; when we are short we wear hardly any. Our petticoats, too, have their fullness in the back, 5o our fizures are always well draped, while the petticoats of En- glish girls have their fullness in the front, and this is why thelr dresses so seldom hang weil. Now, look at thay lady,” and sbe pointed to an Enclishwoman, to whom pature had pot been unkind, but who resembled a handsome giraffe, so tail, so awkward, and =0 gawky:did she scem. £ §he’s got no petticonts on to speak of,” con- tinued the American. *‘She makes her face Tonger than it is by that hat, and she makes her checks bollow by wearing long earrings. Iler dress s a straizht piece of cluth tied back, and she has no overdress. To save the edzes, she haslooped it up over her élcnicunt, which is much too short. As the dress is_purple she must needs wear red stockings, and as she is flat-footed she 1wakes ter feet still worse by her low heels. 1ler neck Is ugly, for it is long and thin and the skin all crinkly, so she shows it at its ugliest by having_an open-cut dress. Her arms ain’t much, and her wrists bony and quite horrid. _As her sleeves are too short, her gloves ave only two buttons. Round each of her wrists slie has tied a bit of ribbon, withthe ends floating, and between the rivbons and her gloves there is a very disastrous interval of red skin, Then, why has she tied that queer bow at_ti.c back of bier neck, which makes her look from behind as if her head had been put on the wroug w;\f! Of course, asshe s tall she has o very small parasol. Now, do just watch ler. She koows that she's got good tecth, so she’s always on the broad grin. If she would just keep to smiling, her tecth would come in well, but she opens ner mouth likea horse and shows Lier gums in a way that’s quite lamentable. She's ot good eyes, but this is no reason why she should glare in that bold and sudacious manner at any one who comes near her.”” Then my fair friend pointed to a short, squat English gitl. % Observe how that fat girl,” ehe said, “ brings her bafr down on her torehead, like a Maltese dog.

Her parasol is biz aud covercd with bows, and, to take away cven a soupcon of waist, she got on onc of those round, stiort Norfolk Jackets.

Cerrespondence Philadelvhia Press, Harem life scems natural to the East. From time immemorfal polygamy has prevailed in the Oricntal world. The Mohammedans have only perpetuated the customs of the Patriarchs, ‘Women from remote antiquity have here been relegated to o life of seclusion. Among the classic Greeks they passed their time at home, iand on the rarc occasions that they appeared abroad they were veiled like the Turkish women of the present day. As little care was taken in their cducation as in that of Molammedan fe- males. Women in the East have always occu- pied a pecaliar position, not laboring outside of their houses, and, in fact, doing little or nothlngr for the maintenance of the family. They are regarded as tender plants that cannot bear too Irec expogure to the open air. There reigme in Turkish households a singuiar quictude. The houses being divided futo the harclite, or women's apartment, and the selamlik, or men's apartment, the long interveming | hall of separaticn is unoccupied, andl is rare- Iy traversed but by visitors to one division or the other. No one cau ascend to the upper story without previous announcement, and if it be a formal visit, it is generally notitied some time in advance. The ladies of the harem like to get themselves up in their best attire in order to make.a good impression on their guests.. And then there are the sweatmeats, the sherbets, the rahat lokoum, and other duin- ties that must be prepared, and are de riguer on all formal visits. Frank, or foreien Christian ladies, are cordialty welcomed, and the more so if thev know a little Turkish. Veils are, of course, laid aside in the harem, so that gaiour and true believer meet face to face, and have an opportunity of examing_ cach other's charms. ‘The Turkish women fondle their infidel sisters like bales of precious goods. They note the shape of their gmarment, take them in their bands to sec bow they are made, ask them to unlock their bracclets that they may in- spect them, get them to unbonnet that they may try on their hats, and from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet there fs not an article of wearing apparel that theyv do not scrutimze. They are never doue crying ““mashallah !’ (wonderful) if their guest be a beauty. Of an American lady, entle, graceful, and fascinating, o Pasha’s wife asked how it was- possible that g0 comely a person should come from the Yeni Dunya (the New World). She knew America only by that name, and to her it was a land of forests and savages. When she was told there were cities os large as Stamboul, and more heautiful evan, in her sim- Dlicity she could not refrain from expressing her astonishment: “ Ayvaliah! guerchek mi der#? “ Heavens! can it be true?” “Rut vour skin is as white as ours, and wbat sweet cyes and mouth®’ * Fatma guet!” said she tlapping her bands and jn a2 momeut a female slave, bowing low, stoud before I Ler = hands clasped on her breast *Kaboe _chibouk gaeti "—* Bring coffee and pipes.” She returned with a pipe having an amber mouthpicce, cherry-stem, gilded bowl, and a band of diamonds at the junction of the mouthpiece and stem.

Zucv Hocper's Paris Letter to Phtudelphia Telegraph. 1 have seen mentioned in the American papers areport that Worth intended to revive short dresses for street wear. The fall fashions show no trace of such an innovation. I wish he would, most heartily, { am sure, as the present siyle of long skirts is extremely trying when comnlicat- ¢d with muddy pavements. But [doubt his power, even if he has the will. He does not set the fashion, this great man-dressmaker, but must_be content with followingit. He has waged a fierce but s yer unsuccessful war against the pin-back, declaring; truly, that ‘wwomen strapped up and pinioned £ill thev could neither sit, stoop, nor recline at ease. were de- vrived of their natural grace and s?‘le, and were abominations to behold. 'or he really has cxquisite taste, and if he did sct the fashions he would probably dress womaukind far better than they are now array- ed by the caprices of 2 blind popufar will. For wito does set thie fashions,aftec all? Ah! there’s the rab. Nobody knows. Chance somctimes, as when in_thé days ot Louis XIV. tne fair Duchess de Fountanges fastened back herdishey- eled curls by tying a ribbon around her head; oras, in our own time, waen tne approaching advent_of a Prince and a Princess - (the French Prince Imperial and the English Beatrice) led two Queens to adopt_crinatine, snd so made a revolution in _the warb of all the women in the civilized world., It is indeed said that certain of the great dressmakers and milliners mect to- gether twice a year in solemn _coclave, and de- cide upon what is to be worn the coming scason, —arawines being prepared of the new styles, and patterns furnished of the newly-manuia-tured stuffs, Thus, at a given moment, every leading house in Paris is prepared to show the fashions of the scason, and, but for the modifications and refinements introduced by fndividual taste, they are all pretty much alike. But the femi- nine public sometimes turns restive, and will ‘have fione of 2 certain style specially prepared for the captivation of its sV miembers. Time aud again some carefully-gotten-up eflect will be utterly nullificd by thé positive refusal of fashivnable womanhooil to have apything 10 do with it. Thus, some years oo, an attempt was made to revive ehangcasle sitks. but fn vain. The silks were manufactured, and temoting dresses were composed of them, and some of the prettiest women in Paris showed them- selves in the new_fashion; but it would not “take.” So, too. did Worth, & yearor twoago, attempt to introduve silks brocaded with little dats. Even the Empress Engenie, when in the very zenith of her glory, tricd in vain to bring Ieavy brocades into vozue. And these caprices are wholly unaccountable. Sometimes the demi-monde will start a new style which will be eagerly and universally adoted, Such was the caie iith whitenct veils. for instance, to say nothing of the once universal custom of ladies driving themselves in pony phactons. Then, again, the mere adoption by that ser of & new fashion kills it at once. Such was the fate in Taris of the Gainsborough hat, which the fash- jonables refused to adopt beeause it was so widely popular with ces dames. Sv England, and the United States cot the benefit of that flashy though picturesque headgear. A LONE WIDOW’S DEVICE. ZLondon Examiner. An amusinz story comes from the Ardennes, where, necording to the tale, an agricultarist recently died, leaving & wife, 2 horse, and a dog. A few moments vefore hisdeath Le called his wife to him, and bade her sell the horse and give tho proceeds of the sale to his relatives, and to sell the dog and keep the mouey thus gained for herself. 1 Soon after the death the wife went to the market with the horse and dot, and exhibited them, with the_ announcement that the price of thé dog was 500 francs and that of the horse five francs. The passers-by stopped and stared, and judged tne woman mad, morc especially as she informed all would-be purchasers that to buy the horse it was necessary to buy the dox first. At last a curious passer-by con- cluded the bargaln; after which the skiliful woman hauded over five franes to the family of her deceased busband, and retained 500 francs for herself, thus contriving at the same_time to carry out _the letter, if not the spirit, of the ‘wislies of her husband, and to secure the largest sum of moncy for herself. The story is zood ; but we are not sure that we have not heard the tale told before, with the scene laid in Ireland. —— GETITING INTO A TIGHT DRESS. Loadon TWortd.

C.) dispatch eays that the schooner Jonas Smith, with o black crew of thirteen and only onc white man, was spoken by Pllot Joe Burris, twenty miles south Fear, last Friday. They claimed to be from Luston for Savannab, out three weeks, and had Jost their bearings. Burris gave them the hearings, and the vessel 3quared away for the gouth. As1itdid so, and the backsof the black crew tarned from him, the white man on bosrd made sivnals for Burris to retarn. On Saturday the catter Colfas sailed in search of the schooner, ‘but returned on Monday, and witl not give any ac- countof hertrin.

It sounds like a dreadful mysters, but I can throw some lizht upon it which may dispel some of its darker features. These poor fellows arce not mutineers. I know them to be men of good character. Four months and a half ago I was at sea, with the Rev. Joseoh IL Twichell, of artrord, in the steamshio Bermuda, Capt. An- zrove. We had sailed from Hamilton, Ber- Tuda, on the Queen’s bifthday, May 24 At 4 p- m., May 25, twenty-four hours out, our posi- tion was 250 miles northwest frosn Bermuda. When I read the above telegrams, I said, “Here is something I have been watching the papers for during a great many weeks.” I hunt- éd up my old note-buok of our Bermuda voyagre. and tarned to the date May 25.- There I found arude pencil-sketch of a”disabled vesscl, and this note concerning it: Friday, Bermuda, 250 milcs. ing (flaz in the main rigring, with the anion down). ‘Went ont of our course to sec her. Ifeavy ground- swcll on the sea, but no wind, They lannched their boat. stern 'firel, from the deck amiships (of course it filled with water at once), and then a man took hoid of a rape that was rove through a black at the starboard end of the foreyard-arm. and swung himsclf off over the sea like a spider at the end of his thread, The vessel's deck stoad up &s hign as 3 house, she was ¢o empty.

One of the three men who came to us in the boat was the Captain and owner of the halk. We questioned htm trecly, aud all that he said was confirmed afterward by three of our pas- sengers who knew all about the matter. The poor ofd tub had been condemued officially in Bermuds and sold at avction,—aud queerly enough, not as a whole, but piecemeal, as one may say. For instance, one man bought the top-mast_(and af the satls, I think); another had bonght an anchor; another such odds and ends u:s'glflzta and such things; and this colored man bought what was left, viz.: the empty bulkand the stumps of the fore and main masts, He Fud.‘.‘fl for his bargain. Then he bought three old regs, and made one doduty as a spencer on they mainmast, another s a jib, and the third as a sort of fying-jib, or jib- stay-gall, whichever you piease to call- it These had become rags indeed when we saw i them, and poetically appropriate to the wander- ing, food-solicing ocean-tramp which they poor old outcast has been all these morths that have since dragzred by. One of our passergers said that the new owner of this solemn property was offered a sufficiency of ballast for his purpos for $23, but he was not able to allord it, and sc went to sca in all his perilous emptiness. His idea was to take the creature to New York and sell her at a profit, cither as a coaster or tobe - broken up. We did not hear of any white man being on board. but of conrse there may have been ane. (1 dow’t count the Portuguese.) But there were fifteen colored men at first, if I remember right- 15. Iasked Capt. Angrove how he could ac- count for that extraordinary crew when five mer would have been more than enoush.

What an excursion it is! Four months ago the halk was ten days out and was 250 mil est of Bermuda: a week ago she was 250 miles south of that position: and, when Capt. Barps spake ber, she was 500 miles from Rer- muda, and directly west of it!

One of the sterner sex recent’ digposed of a cook-stove to obtain monsv witi which to treat himself and family to the luxury of secine the spangied knizhts and trick-ponics of the saw-dust arcua, But our Cedar Springs ?'outh eciipses these semi-insane individuals, caving them entirely in the shade. He states that two years ago this summer he walked to the city to sce the circus, but arrived two days alter the tents had been' struck, and the show, with its calico horscs, tights, and thin lemon- ade, bad gone hence. The young man has never recovered from the terrible disappoint- ment. iwo long years has he labored, and when the news azain reached him that the efr- cus was again coming, he cast about him to as- certain the extent of His disposable property. The resuit was, that the only article he bad that could be sold was a zrain-cradle with which e wus carning his living. This implement he closed ont to a neighborat a sacrifice, receiving only $3 for 1t, and with that sum he started on foot for this city, arriving on Wednesday with- { out a cent in his pocket, tired and hungry, but. Fawky appewance attractel the attention of s company of gentlemen in the bill- fard-hall. They bezan quizzing hims and soon ascertained the obicct of his visit to the metropolis. When asked bow he expect- ed to get into the circus withont money, he said he only hoped to sec the tents and pictures, bit he would stay on the grounds and micht possi- bly obtain a zlance of the animals and some of the circus people. After much sport Wwith tae enthusiastic conntryman, the gentlemen made up a purse of §2.50, treated him to 2 mugof beer,—his eves sparkling with delight while he swallowed the malt beverage,—and then took him to a hotel, Ziving him strict iustractions to be carly on the circus gmunds and remain there during the day, soasto “take it all in.” Yes- terday mornige the youth was the firston Washington Sauare, and he only lelt it to fol- Jow the street-procession about town. He at- tended hoth performances, and was falrly wild with_delicht, the entertainment more than equaling bis expectations. STUDENT ** COMMERS SONG.?” To the Editor of Tha Tvibune.
