T.” and dispatched him with a note to the maosion on thc avenue wherem resided the fair one, and busied himself with closing up his accounts for the week while awaiting a reply. Itsoon came, containing a joyful acceptance, and the happy lover at once took a street car for home, where e made a few hasty repairs in his toilet and presented himself at the abiding-place of lis afianced. The young couple’ very soon found themselves wandering through the mazes of ponderous machinery, shoemakers, kid-glove factories, candy, and silk dresses. George was contented, and Sophia was in her most amiable mood. At length the cane and parasol were checked,” and the pair entered the Art-Gallery. George profeases to be quite a connolsseur iu pictures, and Sophia dotes upon statuary. So they strolled leisurcly along before the array of puintings, the chaperon criticising cverything he saw for the benefit of Sophia, who felt very proud of the perception and art education of the dashing young cavalier at ber side, who, with bis exquisitely-vurled mustache, would some time be all her own. But when they came to the bric-a-brac department she was at home at once. As a general rule a youns man bas no particular atfection for statuary, nn- less it is warm and real; so George remained si- Ient and allowed Sophia to display her research- ¢s and elocutionary powers here, “Dear George, do look at that beautiful statuette,” said the dainty creature, as she slipped ber hand confidingly under his arm and clasped it with her other cxquisitely-uloved member. “I have seen this before, and T never can admire it sufifeiently. It isa marvel of delicate outline and accuracy of likeness; the dusien, 1o, is so lovely. It looks almost like a thing of life—isn’t it perfectly charming,— George thought it was, but he yas so intently watchiug a couple n him that he had paid very little attention to what his companion had This couple_werea fresh young i the conntry. with a new suit of grav ; ready-made. aniid his companiona farmer’s arravea ina complicated combination I nearly every color of the rainbow represented, a stunning hat, turned up on one fully adorned with o bright red side sud or: teather, while s deep blue sush, of mammoth proportious, held undivided possession of her ample waist. Scven different designs were represented in as many o s upon lier rosy finrers. She, too, was claspine her escort’s arm with both bands, after the approved man- ner. Guorge was about to direct the attention of Sophia to the rival couple, when the comjieting gallant lifted up his voice to a dizzy heigut and exclaimed : ¢+ 1like to look at the immages a mighty sight better'n the picturs; dou't you, Marier{ ¥ i Mariar 7 replicd, *Y-u2-5, 1 quess so; buf I dow’t o much on them things aughow They'nt mueh here’s I ken gee for folks to vo into "sterics over; for my part L ken see more solid sense in that there butier-head in t'other roum than in ali 0’ tlese here things” And she darted au angry glance at Sophia, while she allowed her partuer to help himself out of her sack of pop-corn.

NEW YORK. COMBINATIONS OF COLORS. Spectal Correspandence of The Tribune. NEw Yonrk, Oct. 5.—The new toilcttes dis- played at the recent openings exhibit the most startling combination of colors, and these ure not - less noticeable in street and visiting cos- tumes than in full-dress toilettes. Among the latter a favorite combination secems pink and Vulean red. This Iatter is somctimes desig- nated as Sultan red. The pink often varies in shade, from a rose-salmon and a flesh-color to a plain, decided pink, or 2 delicate rose-red tint. This union of colors is cxceedingly novel, and in some few cases I have scen it used to ad- vantage; but in most it is too bizarre and glaring 10 suit o thoroughly-refined taste. A toilette showing the two judiciously blended is of faille, satin, and crepe lisse. The dress, o Princess robe, is of faille, the foot of the skurt trimmed with alternate pleatings of itself, and ofggrepe lisse of the same puance. The faille plisses are fringed outon their lower edge. The polonaisc, which is very tightly draped, bas a simulated jacket outlined by revers of Vulean-red satin. A searf of faille lined with_the red satin is draped diagonally across the front, and is 5o arranged as to reveal & great portion of the satin lining. This vivid display is somewhat subdued by a fall of rich white lacethat which covers thesatin. Theelbow- glecves are finished with pleatings of red satin and rose-hued crepe lisse intermingled with a fall of Isce. Another dress of pale blue gros- groin shows a prevailing combination. It isa Princess robe, trimmed at the bottom with silk- pleatings and shirred puffs of pale-blue illusion. Headiug this is 1 chain of vivid red earnations, field-flowers, and rich velvet leaves. The Pom- padour corsage and scarf drapery are of hand- someblue damassee, and are trimmed with pleat- ings of eilk under illusion, and further decorated by bouquets of flowers to correspond with the overdress. The sleeves are composed entirely of shirred pufls of licht blue tulle, gar- landed with-flowers. g THE DISPLAY OF MILLINERY at the openings is something wonderful. In feathers there is evervthing conceivable, from a whole bird in all its plumage to a single quill. ‘Inere are rich brouze tips shaded into pale blue; tips of olive fading inte tilleul; birds with bodies of emerald and rubr, with_outstretched golden wings; o nest of tiny birds in a cluster of autumn leaves. The flovers arc also very beautiful, but they are not ‘cousidered in such goad taste as plumes, tips, ele. Now and fora Bhort time, frufts are much siiceted, clusters of grapes, currants, plums, aprcots, etc., mingled with bronzed or velvet lesves. A wreath of brenze oak leaves, very small and mixed with tiny acorns, Is a novel ‘and preity ornament. The clair-de-lune and arcen-ciel beads are much worn upon hats and hnnnets{ and present o fiue appeararce. One of the oddest aud most_thorougkly novel lnts I have eeen jsa gray felt hat trimmed with omw_). wreath of green velvet leaves, aud having above the close brim in‘front a mest containing five sinall birds. At the back, where the brim is up- turned, are streamers of gray ribbon faced with searlet satin, and under fhe brim is a second nest of beautiful lttle humming-birds. Over all thisa Jong plume of tronze shaded into green floats trinmphantly. Another very pleas- ing chapeau is of u shapé known as the *“Elite. It has acoronct brim which is richly embroidered iu fower-patterus. The broad flatcrown is al- most concenled under long ostrich Teathers of bronze-green shaded to a faint tillenl. Folds of bronze-green plush minelad with loops of Sul- “tan-red satin surround the crown. A golden beetle s in front, and the brim is edged witha gold cord. : beautifut evening hat from Virot’s in Paris is" denominated the Brevoort. It is of ivory- white plush, the briin edged with a chain of small Roman pearls. Loops of plushand satin, fastened with ornaments of pearl, trim the crown, aud two superb osirizh prumes of ivor, white fall over ft. A beautiful bonuet of plum- colored velvet has the brim edged by a fall clair- de-lune (or moonlight) frinze. ~ An ostrich feather, plum-colored, is tipped with clair-de- Iune jets, and surrounds the crown. At the left, Trom among loops of plum-hued velvet and saln- on-tinted satin, arises a beautiful bird, with gilt wings. A face-trimming of satin bows comes under clair-de-lune fringe. A pretty hat husa square brim in frout, and & rounded one iv the baclk, where it is upturned; is of pearl-zray felt. The crown is encircled by many narrow folds of rich, greenish-bronze velvet, which ter- minate in a fan at the back. Here is a small maize-colored bird with extended wings, an:d from beneath it issue streamers of double ril; bon, one size maize satin, the reverse bronz plush. A cluster of brouze grasses oruaments the sige.

The overdress, 2 long, graceful polonaise, is of armure brocade, showing in_exquisite tiny vatterns its beautiful blending of rich dark col- ors. Revers, facing, ete., on the polonaise are of the velvet, and the result is a magnificent and beautiful toilecte. Armure brocade has a raised or depressed uperd Among cheaper, but very pleasing, fabries is a novelty known us_chiniz cashmere. It is woolen goods, and has stripes of dark-brown or green, mingled with fine twilled lines of white and red. ~ Iu s very tasteful, and costs but § cemts o vard.

PARIS, Sept. 22.—In view of the jmpossibility of enumerating the infinite styles in millinery now presented, it will suflice to state that indi- vidoal taste mever was allowed a wider scope, provided materials are selected according to the dictates of Fashion., Pre-eminently plush; then velvet embossed or plain; satin, felt, and beaver may be shaped into hats large or small; capotes, Normandies, coronets; into hats flar- ing before, behind, on the sides, and all around; and if you wish to be popularly & la mode, just s much gilt as possible in your trimming. Open chestnat burrs of gilt or bronze some- times mingle with rich autumn leaves and gold- Lrocaded satin ribbons, while fall flowers, birds, fruit, and in fact anything characteristic of the season, may be brought into requisition. The general effect of these arrangements Is zaudy in the extreme; particularly is various modiica- tions of the Rubens and Gainsborough hats again coming into notice, but which are only clegant with their own traditional and graceful flowers. More quict styles will doubtless take preceacnce ater in the scason, and these are foreshadowed by orders already received by some of our most clegant modistes. Several of these are in course of completion for A WEDDING RECEPTION which is to take place next week in one of those oldancestral homes in the ** Gloomy Faubourg,” where clezance and refinement reien supreme. Among the hats for this occasion a Marfe Stuart of cinbossed blue satin is trimmed with pale blue satin of a lighter shade, and marabout pompons delicately tipped with silver. A mere suimmer of brilliancy is thus obtained, and far {rom being obtrusive 18 most cifective in its Deauty.

Louts Globe-Democrat, Oct. 5. g Mr. Robert Mathison. a well-known business man of St. Louis, whose residence is at 2334 Olive street, arrived ja the city last night by rail, from Memphis, and at a late hour called at the Globe-Democrat oflice and gave to a reporter a startling account of the recent exploits of the river monster which nas created such an exate- ment during the last two weeks among tho denizens of the Lower Mississippl. Mr. Mathi- son’s narrative—and there scems to be no doubs of its literal truthfulness—is suhstantiully as follows: Friday afternoon, at a late hour,—the sun heing about a ha!f-hour high, and the sky and air unusually clear,—Capt. John Carraway, of the towboat Bee Wing, having in tow six heavlly-loaded coal-barges of the well-known Brown Buarge & Transportation: Company, of Pittsbury, was passing a point on the river just above the village or landing known as Bradley’s, five miles below Devil's Elbow Cut-off, and about fifteen miles above Memphis, when his attention was directed to a loud, puffing noise a considerable distance up the river. At first he thought it was the roaring of a broken ’scape-pipe or the wheezing of a disordered enwine; but, seeing no smoke, and having reason to belicve that there was no steam craft within bearing distance, below or above, he very shortly came to the conclusion that the sounds cmanated from another source. Five minutes passed and the noise continued to be heard at briel intervals, and evidently getting closer. From the deck of the tow-boat 4 view could be had for 1,000 yards up the river, a gradual bend commeneing av that dis- tance. The sun was almost dipping below the western horizon when, around this bend, there rose to view the writhing form of A TERRIFIC MONSTER, darting impetuously in mid-channel down the river. When first seen the leviathan scemed more like an immense uprooted trec, floating in a semi-perpendicular position along the mid- channel. As it neared, however, its horrid pro- portions became manifest. The hideousness of this aquatic monstrosity is stated by Capt. Carraway to be beyond the power of description. Its immense pelican bill, trom -five to ten feet in length, the gigantic bull-dog bead, and the mammoth, slimy neck, upreared hich in air; the vast tail lashing the waters into fury, and the cnormous fins, teu feci iu length, seuding out saves like the roll of flying boat; the frequent dipping of the monstrous beak iuco the water, and spouting huge strcams forty fect hieh in ovliaue dircetions, and the deep, cavernous Toars that came thundering along at tie brief- cst intery: all these formed an inferual pan- orama that made the bloud of the towboat Captain and his affrighted crew run cold, and their very hairs to stand on end. The monster was in the cxact wake of the boat and barges, but it traveled with such tremendous velocity that turnine out of tbe course impussibl It is believed that its locomotion wasat least twenty miles an bour, and Capt. Carraway at once realized that it the ponderous body, with its irresistible mowentum, should strike his fracile vessel the boat would capsize in an in- stant or be shattered to splinters. lle was making eizht miles av hour. Ou the monster ruslied, roaring with deafening effect, spouting from s horrid bill two streams of water that shot forty feet into the air, and fell i torreuts into the river on cither side. TIE SERPENTINE BODY swayed tortuously and with frichtful rapidity «h the muddy waters, while the prodigious rts of the colossal reptile rose and sunlk, ed i 8t n horror, threatening hin its or 20) yards, the hor- reptile, as if it had just discovered an obsta- ele in its track, slackeued its precipitate pace, and for an instant paused to_ contemplate the nature of the obstruction. Witha tremendous snort, so loud, and deep, and sonorous, that it gave the boat a tremulous motion, the husge tack scemed to satisfy the monster, for, with bowl, he suddenly sunk beneath the surfacy d shot down the channel, Zoing at a speed which Capt. Carraway atfirms must hare reached forty miles an hour. As he moveq away no part of the body was visible, but the poiuted wave that rolled before showed jts course, while in its wake the waters rushed like those of a mill-dum SUDDENLY LET LOOSE. In two minutes he was out of sizht. In the meantime, Heury Decker, the hand who was_precipitated from the barge, swam to ag. other barge and clambered safeiy up the sides, with no greater damage thana thorough drench. ing and a slight contusion on the head. made by a felling picce of coal. The cnzine had beey stopped when the tirst shock came. Tt was pyg in motion 4s soon as it was_apparent that the danger had_passed, and Capt. Carraway ser about securing the detached barge. By the time he redched it it was 300 yards down the river, and in a sinking condition. The front end bad already sunk, and the stern was raised ten fect above the water. As the towboat ap- proached the wreck swung around, and a close view showed that the bottom had been ripped in a haif=lozen places, te portions of the zun. wales still out of the water were split and solin- tered as if an ax had been used to cut and tegr them to pleces. At one point the gunwale was torn off the entire depth. As the towboat floated against ‘the Wrecik, one of the hands called Capt. Carraway’s attention to s stranms object that protruded from the rear end of the boat. It had the appearance of a huge splinter, but its appearance was so singular that Capt. Carraway’s curiosity was aroused, and he steamed immediately by the object, in order to see what it was. .Upon a close view, it was dis- covered that it was nothiug more nor less than a piece of the monster’s bill, which had been * splintered off and left in the wmnwale of the boat. An effort was made to pull the splinter out, but this undertaking was found mo«filuc\uz to secon:plish, as it was driven entirely through the timber, and wasas fast and hard asifiit were part and parcel of the barge. Axes were brought, aud the gunwale chopped down on either side, and the piece containing the splinter split off. An examination showed the splinter to be four fect long, and undoubtedly a pieceof TLE MONSTER'S BILL. At one end it was twelve inches broad, gradu- ally sloping until it reached asharp point. It was quite thin, and looked as if it mignt bea mere outward covering for the end of the lower part of the bill. It was neituer born nor bone, but appeared more like ivory, though almost as tough and hard as steeL In color it was dark green and brown, mixed and varied, though the wer #nd was almost black. The piece weighed eigbtecn pounds, this heavy weight showing the unusnal compactaess of the material composing the beak. An hour was spent at the wreck, when Capt. Carraway, seeing that the coal was a total Toss” and the barge in such a condition that he could o nothing then to save it, stcamed on, reaching Memphis about 9 o’clock at meht, where he re- lated his strange adventure, and exhibited the splinter from the monster’s bill. - Of course, the majority of people are skeptical about stories relating to monsters, and many were increda- lous, but those who knew Capt. Carruway felt certain that whatever he might relate could be depended on as truthful in every respect. There certainly cannot be longer doubt that the M ppi is inhabited with a monster thas not ouly ranxs in hurrid proportions with the fabled creatures of fiction, but one that may do muck: to interfere with free and uninterrupted commerce on the great river. It is undeniable that among river mnen there isa feeling of in- security, and it has lLeen sugpested that the matter'is of such mmportance that an expedition ought to be organized under Government man- azewment to Lunt down and anninilate the levia- tuan. The New Madrid te (from which place the GlobeDanocrat published a special dis- patch concerning exploits of the monster) of Wednesday sags that a number of valuable horses and cattle were IYSTERIOUSLY DESTROYED while the monster haunted that part of the river, that no less than three boats were overturved, and oue skuf shattered and its occapant drowned. The Vicksburg Pilot pub- . lishes an - interview with Capt. Cuthbert, of. the Obio, River trade, in which the Captain states that at a pomt ten miles above Henderson the monster attacked a flatboat, overturning the boat and throwing the ferryman and two passengers and their horses into the river. Ouncot the men was drowned and the monster devoured onc of the horses.” These stories seem almost incredible, but they are so fortitied by the testimony of uwimpeachabic ure came to a dead stop, and with monstrous bill, head, and neck reared perpendicularly, seemed like a watery de- mon i from the m. of the deep.. Here Capt. Ca spite the ter- ror that had neee 1 pos on- of him, obtained a good view of the monster, at least the parts that were above water, and his description of the horrible spectacle is sullicient- minute and accurate io deserve reproduction. Carraway alleges that there is 1o doubt the monster s a pelican-shaped bill, but that its length, which hus herctefore been describud as beine five feet long, will measure at least ten feet. I appeared more like an immense horn than a beak, und in shape was much like the pointed sword of the spear-fish, thoush and longer, aml decidedly more formiduble a weapon of offensive warfare. It was from throuzh this bill that the monster spouted water, the water being thrown from 2 poiut near the head. Capt. Carraway, who is an old whaler, stated that - TIIE SPOTTING, untike that of the, whale, which throws its stream upward in a straicht columu, was made in oblique directions, and that the volume of water spouted, and the heizht reached, was twice as areat as that thrown by the whate. The head is described to have been four or five feet aud shining, and its shape bearing a close resemblance to that of the bull<dog. Capt. Carraway thiuks the animal bore on its h two short horns, but of this he is not cer- tain, as the time for observation was very short. There could be no doubt, Lowever, as to the canine shape of the head, and of the phenome- its nal circumstance thai to this dog's b was attached o bill or beak, fush- ioned like that of a pelican. . The neck gppeared to be tem or twelve fect in length, narrow and serpentine. andsw k were evidently covered w.th burnished scales of changeable bue, bud from the top of the neck there grew what tad the appearance of a mane, restwbling that of a horse, being thick and shiny, and of a greenish tint. This mane reached from the base of the head to the body, and depended frow the neck in long strands. ' Thesc were the only parts of the body that were visible cxcept the fins. On thie back there apoeared to be a dorsal _tin, fif- teen or twenty feet in lengtn, measuring along the back, and perhaps tbree or four feet in height. THE FODY, being sunk in the water, however, could not be seen, and Capt. Carraway says he may be mis- witnesses, that all unbelief is necedsarily dissi- pated. THE 3 NSTER IIEARD FROM AGAIN.

Carraway's baries, had been seen to pass the Memphis® wharf, thourh umor could not_ be traced to a posisive e source, it was generally discredited. A courier just in from Flournoy’s- Landine, fit- teen miles below here, and three miles below Tresident’s Island, brings intelligence that it seen to pass that point at 4 o'clock this af- ternoon, and that it was traveling at a furious rate down the river, with its head high in the air, and bellowing so loud that it was plainly heard 2 mile away. No more damage has been done by it, so far as could be learncd. e ————— INFORMATION WANTED. To the Editor of The Tribune.

The sude fins were of monstrous _proportions, extending fiftecn feet on ether side, and shile the mon- ster paused they rose and dinped back into the water rapidly, throwing immense waves in a forward giréction, the monster by this means poising and steadying himself in the current. This attitude was maintained not lonzer than three or four minntes, and _the distance being nearly orquite 100 yards, Capt. Carraway’s de- seription is nccessarily imperfect, but, in the main, it is undonbtedly accurate, as 1t agrees al- most'exactly with the description which has tierctofore been given of the monster by per:ons who have scen him wading in shallow water or outstretched on sand-bars. Suddenly the im mense head and neck disappeared under the waterwith a lashing sound that could nave beca heard a nall-mile down the river. For a few mo- ments nothing was seen of the, mouster, but it was quickly discovered that be Was making, in o direct course, for the towboat and barges. Ilis track was mdicated by a rolling, pointed wave that came rushing forward like water impelled by a great submarine upheaval. There was great excitement on board, and the Captain and Lands were all on deck, lookiug, with terror, mpon the extraordinary spectacle. A young German, named Henry Decker. was on the coale barge lashed to the right of the towboat. and it was under this harge that the monster plowed his irresistible way. First came a violent shock and then the barre was thrown with tremendous force above the surface of the water and alimost careened, the rear end being hoisted twenty feet into the air, hall the cargo of coal being HURLED INTO THE RIVER, and along with it the man Henry Decker. The Inshings by which the baree was “secured to the towboat were snapped, und the shock was €o sudden and strong that the towboat itsell was almost lifted clear of the water. In a moment the monster reappeared in front of the tlect, and, turning its body so as to face the barge it bad passed under, agsin reared its body, suddenly dived into the water, and made for the boats.
