TRIMMINGS. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. New Yorg, June 14—In no department of fashfon is it as ditlicult to pronounce definitely what is and is not stylish and aoprooriate as in that of dress garnitures or trimmings. Skirts show many kaudsome modes of ornamentation, some very elaborate, others simple, but very tasteful, and others still exhibit a golden mean, being stylish and dressy without appear- ing too ornate. A tavorite garniture for dress- skirts seets to consist of a deep gathered ilouuce, finishea at the bottom by a fine and narrow side-pleating. Above the flounce ruus 2 plain piece which on its Jower edge is cut into long square tabs or tonguds, which fall over the flounce, and every other one of which i remov- ed. These tongues are fiuished along the edges by pipings or cords, which may be of silk or velvet, or, if desired, of the same material a5 themsclves. Sometimes additional trimming is made in the form of lace ruflles bordering these tabs or tongues, and this, of course, mukes @ more dressy garniture. Anoth- er very pretty but simpler style has tirst a pleat- ed or kilt flounce at the immediate foot of the skict, above it a pathered one, which may be pinked at the edges, and above this auother kilt-pleating, which is sewed on through the centre, thus forming a graceful he: On Light dresses, or, racher, dresses of thin materi- ats, liké luwns, organdies, ete,, there ure few pretsier styles of garniturc thao a cluster of three o five narrow ruflles, cither eide-pleated or gathered, and edged with anarrow lace. A pleasing effect is produced by mixing the two; for instance, threc mnarrow-pleated ruflles sevarated by two gathered ones of the same width. When the latter are fluted, the effect is highly satisfactory. Au extremely stylish gar- piture is the following, which is particularly adapted to heavy goods, like silk, satin, ete.: A deep but rather scant gathered tfounce is cut at the vottow iuto sharp points, aach about three inches long. Tbis tlounce is of siik. Below the points, showing between them and a little be- neath them, is a- Gnely-lald pleating of satin. Above the flounce, as a heading, are placed at intervals rings about eighit or twelve inches in circumierence, formed of three or five very nar- row milliners’ folds of satin. Through them is run a fat satin cord, which apparently supports them sud Keeps them iu place. This is a ve handsome trimming for an elegant material, be- ing rich aud effective, but withal simple. Box-pleated flounces are also much used, but generally are seen in combination with pléated or guiicred ones. A favorite trimming now, both for skirts and overdresses, is shirry The side breadthsof sikirts are shirred, the insertions, vest-like or otherwise down front and baci. are shirred; the scarf or sash draperies which are now so popular are also shirred horizontally or diaonally. Many white dresses of thin mate- rials have vests of fine shirring done in the sume. The etfect of this sort of garniture is very preuty aud pleasing, and. is particularly 3 er styles of toilette. Lace is ‘much used in trimming dresses, and surely it is 2 fashion to be highly commended, especially in regard to_summer dressos. The fine Corchon lace, which, in addition to its intriusic beau- ty, possesses the potent cnsrm of novel- ty, ranks first in. point of preference. In its very fivest quality, which is really beau- tiful, it is often selected as a trimming for dresses of the exquisite CASHMERE DES INDES, which is now so noi‘uhr, and of which some lovely evening and dinner toilettes are made. A very charming oue has just been shown me. 1tis of o most peculiar but cxquisite shade, deeper and rictier than cream-color, lighter and softer thau cafe-au-lait. The dress is made in Princess style, with square neck aod elbow Sleeves. In [routis a finely shirred insertion ot tire cashmere which reaches from the square neck to the foot of the robe, and which widens srracually as it descends. This insertion is bor- dered down its edze by & box-pleating of inest Torchon lace. Down the im- mediate centre of the shirring are placed at iutervals clusters of small half-opened Jacqueminot roses. Around tie neck and the square tront 15 a double box-pleating of the lace, one row of which falls downwards, the other bemy upright, Between thewm runs a quilling of varrow satin ribbon the same shade 15 the dress. The siceves arc finished in like manner, sod just ai the elbow are smail ouuches ol the lovely rvses. An oval-shaped cluster of the same is placed 2 little to the left on the corsage. A hieavy silk cord finishes the bottom of tneskirt, and in the back the fullness is secured by o jurze donble box-pleat begin- ning beiow the waist line, avd concealed be- neath 2 large and handsome bow of satin color like the dress. This is an exceeding elegant toilet, and attracted much admiring noticeat a recent dinuer party. IN REGARD TO STYLISH COIFFURES for the summer season, Fashiou's decrees areby no means despotic. In general, individual taste and, avove all, becomiugness, are the gides to be consulted. Light puily and airy eflects are 10 be desired at this Lime of the year, and the massive hraids so much worn duriog the win- terare rather at a_discount now. An admira- ble style of arranging the hair, and one suffi- ciently elaborate” for almost any occasion, is this: The hair at the upper part of the head is syparated from the lower portion. * It is then tiade in a large, almost square, bow which lics immediately on the top of the head. From the left loop of this bow, extending diagomally across the head, is a row of flve smail finger pufls. Below these hang two or . three short, thick curls, which complete the coliture. Flowers, ribbon, bows, or gold aud silver ornumnents may be added with exceilent resaits. Small bauds of gold, jet, or fretted aiiver are azain in vogue. These look very Tovely confining the bair wheu it is waved and drawn back from the face. Most coiilures are incomplete without the handsome comb uow so popular. Ladies with dark hair find that combs of plain or filagree silver contrast most elegant- 1y with their hair, while the charm ot very blonde locks is greatly enhanced by a comb of cornelian, tortoise-shell, coral, or” jet. Tnose who ¢an afford wold combs are generally cuor o include this luxury among their necessary toilettearticles. Among the wedding presents of afair youngbride wasa superb comb of pure gold. 1L wasoia sortof open work, having the owner’s monvgram wrought in the ceutre. This is rich- Iy incrusted with very tiny jewels, one letter beiug i diamonds, once in black nud white pearis, the third in exquisite sapphires. There are 50 many elegant ornaments now prepared for the hair, that it would be a task were I to attempt to mention nll. A very lovely tiara Leing made to order and also uesigned for a wedding gift, consists of a balf-garland of leaves wrought in gold of three colors,—tue ordinary tint,a most beautiful green gold, and a rich, slowing, reddish-tinged gold. There are threc Kinds of leaves. and among thewm arc five small flowers, something like adaisy of small dia~ monds and pale rubies. ‘The effect is superb, and as this tiara, royal in its splendor, i5 to rest upon a lead of soft- cat, heaviest, blackest lair imaginable, I ' think you cam picture to yoursell how vorreous it will appear. lu regard to dressing young grls’ hair, there is but one rule that is imperative. Arrange Itas simply, comfortably, and becoming as you can. Of the three the fast 1s the least important, but that it shonld be comfortable is de rigueur, for early cnouxh do young girls find_themselves forced, by their own desire if not otherwise. to sacrifice this rreatest of cousiderations, Being o daushi- terof Mother Eve, I myself am nor uiterly vapityless, but 1 would any time forego the crowning zlory of an irresistible coffTure rathier than languish in crimping pins and other in- struments of torture wieided by hair<dressers. 1 see that many litue irls in New York, from 4 to 10 yecars old, have the whole mass of hair onihe upper partef the head cut quite short ond made ioto small curls of crimpy waves. The remaning portion of the hair is tben arranged into six or cizht larve, loose curls which hang over the back ana shoulders. At least eizht girls out of every ten haye the hair “banged” uvon the forehead, und with boys under 6 or 7 the custom is almost s universal. School-irls in general wear the hair drawn smeothly back, and disposed in a braid 'ow upon the neck. This braid is then 1astened up.and secured with a bow of ribhon or velvet. Others divide the hair into two braids and cross themn befure looping, thus pro- ducing a very pretty and dressy effect which is withal very simple.” As to the arrangement of the hair, NEW TORR SCHOOL-GIRLS are to be commended, but in no other particu- lar regarding. their dress. They di ively, wearing: quantitics of jewelry and afect- ingwe latest styles. Meeting them on their way from school, ome may well be pardoned the mistake should one thbiok they were «n route 10 a garden party or some other after- nodn 1estivity. Beads aud bangles avneur in -lavish profasion, ruflles and pufls countless or- nament the dresscs, which should be sigple to & degree. It is strauge, bub it is true, how many people are unable to separate the idea of simplicity from shabbiness. I have seen mauy of the dresses that are now being prepared for Commencements. The majority of them arc claborate enough for bridesmaid’s toilettes, and not a few might be bridal robes. For four col- lezes In and about New York the dresscs of the respective valedictorians are one of White satin trimmed with Brussels lace, one of white cord- ed stk trimmed with satin, the other two of white silk and crepe lisse! Probably each of these ** sweet irl araduates ” will decorate ber- sel{ with the family diamonds and staud forth thus srrayed, when she should be robed in tine soft muslin and Valenciennes, with no jewels, only flowers. MarTis 8. SOCIETY TOPICS. The rumor that Disraeli Is to marry the widow Victoria bas been started azain. Beacons- field would make a lively sepfather for that bad boy, Wales. Instead of acking, “ Will you please write iu my autograph album, Miss Kellogg?? they will s00n have the question, “Will you please sing in my pbonograph{" Before you cngage your summer quarters carefully count over your winter dimes. Worth, the famed Parisian modlste, succeeds with the ladies because he does not blindly fol- low any one style, but studies the fiyure, com- plexton, and even the disposition of the wearer with a view to the generat effect of the costume.

StEAMER CITY OF RiCHMOND, IRfsit CHAN- NKL, May 25.—With land in sight, Liverpool ahead, and stomach otce more at peace with all the world, it is safe and fitting to chronicle the personalities and incidents of a much more than ordinarily interesting ocean vovage. £ MARSHALL JEWELL. Good to look at and better to know is this best of Connecticut’s living sous. e did not cross the water with us, more is the pity, but was cheerily haled by all the men and quietly adored by all the women as he came avoard to bid bon voyage to his younger brother Charles. ‘The latter, accompanied by his raceful, sharp- ved wife, was bound for various European points, to further business interests and to in- cideatally have a jolly good time. The Jewells are just now enzaged in showing 0id-World denizens that Yavkee leather is Dbetter, and can be sold cheaper, than even the best of English cak-tauned goods. I wish L had time and room to show how American man- ulacture of every sort is reaching its tentacles all around the globe. Suffice it, however, to note here that Marshall Jewell thinks our ex- ports of all kinds will run over our imports this year to the comforrable amount of TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS, and that our manufactured goods will be sold abroad to triple the cxtent of sny previous year. Connecticut must be uncommonly well con- tent with herself to afford to spare men like Jewell aud Hawley from present ofticial life of any kind. Jewell’s has been a magnificent record; Governor for three terms, taen Minis- ter to Russia, then the paragon of United States Postmaster-Generals. e was soperfect an Ambassador that the Czar gave him his own portrait and paid him a thousand great and lit- e courtesies. e saved the couutry millions by bis practical handling of the Postal Depart- ment; soured Grant by being more admired than the lutter, and was finallv told to resign. He zacs into history phenomennl as the only American Cabiuet officer who was ever bounced because he was too good for his position and associates. THEODORS TILTON. Tn former years when Tilton saled the seas over, loving friends came in 8warmns to see him off, and flowers, cheers, and benedictions went with him. This time, s0 poor has he grown fn the esteem of man and woman kind, he had only hfs two little boys to cry him adieu, and wa3 forced to take his paid attorney along in order to be certain of one decent person to talk to. Detestatfon of Tilton fn no sense fmolies an adbierence to the Beesher cause. The latter is smirched In reputation for life. The tormer is dead and foul to honest repute for all coming time. Out of 170 cabin passengers of the good steamer Caty of Richmond, including a_remark- ably diverse range of nationalities, and an un- usually high grade of culture, he wus a social leper. Durlag the whole voyaze le was steadily shunned, and in all cooversations was meta- phorieally spit upon. Shipboard is ever the most companionable of placés. Tilton s col- loquially one of themost pited of meu, evenal- lowiny for his herculean vanity. But he zould not have -been wore hopelessly isolated in tne heart of Sabara. Nobody looked at him, nobody spoke to him. The first day out he cat at table near a handsome young South- cru lady, and she quictly, the uext meal, had the chief steward change her seat. There was no ostentation in the act. Itwas merely the sub- dued but decisive defercace uny well-bred per- son would pay a polecat. Ul goodly iigure and striking face, he has been a variah Apollo the entire journey. Except Judee Fullerton, whom he has huug to might and day, and a tough little Russian who has oceasionally played chess with hitm, Theodore Tilton has been 8s remote aud banished in this steamer-load of neighborly velers as thoweh he. were chuging ta a spar, shipwrecked and alon, in midocean. JGDGE FULLERTOS. 1f Tilton paid this doughty old lawyer's fare for the sakeof his society, the latter has had the sorry end of the bargain. Wherever Fullerton Das been, Liiton hus been there every time. The lawyer's company was desirable and sought after as much as his outeast chuin's was avoid- ed. But to say a word tu Fullerton was to have “Tilton skip complacently up and put his oar into the conversatiou. This, ina minute or so, invariably broke up the meectinr. Ful- lerton would sometimes try to hide behind windy sideof thebig funnels, or catel a briel ite by inspecting the steerage. But Tilton never left bim alone long. He ate, drank, and slept with himn, and the oceapants of an adjoin- ing state-room told me he kept the poor lawyer awake several hours oue night reading soine poews of recent Tiltonian manufacture. Fulierton’s sencral manner, while iv betrayed the sbop all the time, b s the master lezal mind. e has secured the pinnacle of Yankce glory in belug o staple subject of newspaper proddi i atter him. EVERYBODY LIKES FULLERTON. Even Beechier, whom he legaily perforated nntil thelatter's testimony was as full of holesas a Creedmore target, says Fullerton is a splendid fellows Tam afraid the ship’s people. however, will never guite understand pim. “He has quibbled wiih the steward about the grammatical word- ing of the il of fare; disputed with the chief er on vital nautical points; questioned the sailors sharoly as to their duties and doinges; tried to make the chief-engineer falsify himself on mechanical knowledze; astounded the good Surgeon by 2 running fire of carping anatoui- cal fnquirics, and made a general terror of him- sell by Knowing everything and scem- inz to doubt cversbudy’s fitness or ve- racity. 1t is merely the lewal iustinet runnioe -y riot under the elortous exhilaration ot sult air. L know he is tiugling to pin a cabman in a cor~ ner of the dock and cross-question him on his past wmisdeeds until the wreteh gladly drives him all over Liverpool with never a peany over- charge. KINZABRO TAYE. What we all did and saw will have no interest for others than ourselves on this trip. With uwo dozen great steamers clipping_through the waves every dav of the year, and with 50,000 Americans comiug to Europe this seasou, the individual record of qualms, thoughts, and ex- pericnces bad best quit getting into print. But prodle are of account if emotions are not. Here is Mr. Kinzabro Yaye, Jupancse Com- missioner to the Exposition. Though be has lived ten years in the United States, the centuries of . Oriental politeuess pulsing m Ins veins keeps him o modest gen- tleman . still. When I, - tbrough his mistakes or_complaisance, win the odd game of chess, he bows deprecatingly and says, 1 am very forry L am unable to interest you more.” So it of €yeand tongue, pat of speech, and too ehresdly urbane not to laugh when he sees what is meant for a joke of any kind fired at him, he is 2 model companion, and unfailingly interest- ingr withal. To those highly intellectual Caucasians who think CHINESE AND JAPS all fish of about the same fry, he is Jikely to be ustonisking when it is known that be does not caide raging Californians for their hatred of the “ribe of Ah Sin. [The violeuce, hesays, is wroog, of course, and hurtful to Asiatic interest in America. ' But Le belleves he voices Japan in saying that the Chincse arca misery to any couatry they fasten upon. e But he dumbfounds his interlocutors still more at his pagan love of country. He admits the zlories of our civilization, and anoints bis fellow voyazers with the flaltering balm of praise for all the good features of tueir re- spective nationali*ies, and then stagwers them With the quict rer. hat hie *“would sooner be a bezgar Iu Jupan thana Kine ia any other land.” This utterly knocks th nd out of his English listeners: for an En~hislunan can never juite believe tl any not horn in G ritain knows just v _Good-by, wmiid-manuered Yay No nation will have a more ereditavie otticial at Paris than vour ouaiul 0id land Dussesses in the Civy of Richmond.

Thelr owner isa well-poised man in paysique and brain, who is to take a few ‘months’ rest from his large law labors, by touring through Europe with an_accomplished wife snd daughter, und a terrific little Skye terrier. The last-mentioned member of the party has crossed the Atlaatte twice before, and bis only ocean . misery is that he cannot run behind a saitor and nip his hecl as_conveniently when the iutter is citmbing a mast as when De Is surging across the deck.

For a quarter of a century mortal beauty to him has Leen always wan and disueveled; mortal taleut aud genius humiliat- ed and sea-sick.

The passengers who have sailed with him durmg these mauy years have founda jnsim a considerate, sympathizing friend; an officer aliways on deck wuen the way wus darkest and roughest; a Captain who has steadily shared in every discomfort with s subordinates. When # company of voyagers such us we have had this trip announce in formal resolutions, us they bave just done, that their Captain has shown himself 2 “ perfect sailor,” **courteous geatleman,” and **an honest man,” it mens that they bave been deeply moved at their - tercourse with a person ot no ordinary char- acter. THE ENGLISH MARITIME WORLD finds fis best type in bhim.

GIDEOS. ————— CULTIVATION OF THE SUGAR-BEET. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cmicaco,June 15.—As it-seems probable that many artisans, mechanics, and laborers now ding in our larger citids and uuemployed, eventually be obliged to resort to the cul- tivation of thesoil as & means -of living, the question naturally arises as to whether an ex- cess of labor in agricultural pursuits may not lead to a large overstock of produce, and conse- quently to a ruinous or at least ascrious depres- sion of prices. In view of such a contingency, it is manifest the greater the variety of interests con- nected with the soil, the greater the chances willbe of a fair return for productions, and the extensive cultivation of any new article will tend towards that result. In considering this matter, it is a subject of surprise that an inter- est of such magnitude as the cultivation of the sugar-beet and the manufactare of sugar there- from should have attracted so little attention in this couutry, apparently the country of all others where - the business couid “be con- ducted with the best chance of _suce not only because land s cheap and fertile, but alsv in consequence of the mechanical genius of our people, who would probably by improving wethods reduce the cxpense of mati- ufacturing to a minimum. Almost the entire consumption of sugar fa France is the product of French suil, and the French have not only been able to supply their own markets, but have exported to a considerable extent. the import of brown sugars iuto this col 'y rauges irom 560,000,000 to $80,000 anuuaily, the great bulk of ‘which we irtve_to pay for in speeie,—in fact it more than covers the average total uf specie export. Tne sugar beet, it is stated, grows to a3 much larger size in Licois thun in France, and the quality of saccharine natter is therefore much greater, and far cheaper, so that the issue of such euterprises, conducted With proper prepa- ration and judgment, could hardly fail o be remuneratfve. Once geuerally introduced and it would give employmicot to an immense Dum- ber of people, and I'look forward to such a re- sult with contidence and hove. Muscovapo. " MY FLOWER.
