Prom Our Own Correspondent./ NEWPORT, Aug. 21.—The latest seasation in 1he eoctal worlé 15 :he elopement of a young New York lady with a Newporzer, ason of the s0il. It {s the ola story of Zitania and Botom the Weaver over again. A young giriof ‘‘high degree,” or of fasnjonable associatfons, the daughter of 2 professional man, fails iulove with, or loses her head over,—snd it must bea very &illv head,—a young man whom everybody speaks of as a very inferior person meptally and physically,—the sonof a farm-laboreron the Bateman estate. Everybody who has been 1o Newport remembers Bateman’s Point. The owner of the large boarding-house there is also the owner of all the surrounding land, and pro- prietor of the house. A man of considerable fortune, and full of kindly impulses, he became attached to the son of one of his farm-hands, who was named for him, and, from the boy’s babyhood, bestowed a good deal of care apd attention upon him. But the gamesake hardly paid for all this at- zention, it is said. He was not to the manuer bore. Bottom the Weaver wasindigenous. There was no rubbing ‘out the grain of the dbre. But vpresently, when the young man reaches maturity, Zama makes her appear- ance, and in one pair of eyes he is transformed into a zod. 1am not invading any private trag- =dy by relating this story, beciuse it nas already been noted aud commeuted upon in the local priuts, and is, besides, **1n cverybody’s mouth,” 8s the saying is.

This ques- tion 1as beeu met by the adverse criticism that Brown University. partly through its sectaran tendeneies, which, more marked in_ former years, save it o certain impetus, and _partly from Othier causcs, has not carried’ the literary “one which has power to mve deen impress upon 2 community.

And, foliowing the essay, we get faithfzl descrip- tion: of the eizht most noted hibraries in Provi- zence. _The first aud best-knows is that ofJohn Carter Brown, the speciaity of which is ttat of works concerning America prior to ihe present century. The New York Nation, spesking of this }ibrary, says that * It contains more than one unique copy of rarities such as the first Jibraries in theworld wouid gladiy contend for.” 4 The catalogue of this Mbrary,” Mr. Rogers telis us, “is ' 1N SUCH DEMAND IN ETROPE, _ 1hat, on account of its wealsh of material relat- icg to Americs, two voiumes ol it—a mece {ragment—brouzht £26_at ine Solewslki sale at Leipsic a few years ago.” But, thouzn nerica is the specialty, there are otber works,—ootably, some illusirated books of consequence.

Mr. Rogers’ own library, which he modestly puts last, deserves to come next, for here are some curiosities in the line of book-malking. Specimens of Chinese book- making; a2 Tamul Book, composed of strips of palm-leal, the covers being of wood; missals, dating back five hundred years, of great beauty'; and 3 book of hours printed on vellum by Phillippe Pigouchet, the celebrated Parisian ty- pourapher of the fifteenth century. Here also are Boe examples of wood-engraving and_early vrinting, and collection of cugravings by Heath alter designs by Stothard, Smirke, Westall, and oters, as well as unpublished manuseripts and relics down to the time of the Amerd Revolu- tion, and rarities which space will no: adinit of noiicing further. ‘The other libraries are those of Mr. Harris, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Taft, Mr. Farnum, Mr. Bart- lett, and Mr. Rider. Each makes some special- ty of some spevial taste, and each zoes to show what wealth of literary taste lies, for the most part uukpown to the public, in little Ruode Island. The bistory of these libraries by Mr. Rogers bids fair to be famous, for Mr. Rider, the Providence bookseller and publisher -of the book, has thus early received orders for it from Europe and other distant quarters. It will in- terest those who are interested in this subject 10 know thag Mr. Rogers comes of the scholarly family of which George William Curtis is a dis~ tinguished member. The love of literature runs m the blood. N. P. THE RIIODE ISLAND CLAMNY Snecial Correspondence of The ProviDENCE, R. L, Aug. 21.—Tue clam is about the only crigival, distinctive characteris- tic remaining to Rbhode Island. Railroads and fast travel have made us a homogencous people, but the bosom of the Khode-1slander still swells with manly pride and ingependence at the thousht thut Narragansett Bay is still the home of the clam, the only spot on the globe whera clam-feasting is practiced as a fine art. In vain raneer protest that he has often eaten ~—nay, that he has partaken of savory baked clams. *[fave you ever eaten clams in Khode Island " saith the inquisitor. I never have," confesseth the infidel. * Then you don’t kuow auythiug sbout clams,” is the self-satts- fied couclusion. T have lived on the shores of Nurragansett Bay this seasun just about long enough to become a convert to this cardinai point in the Rhode- Islander’s creed. 1 believe that there is but one clam, and that Rbode Island is its home. Perish the man wha dares to name a Coney Island clam-bake, aud pity the beathen of the Great West who eat the round-sheil quabaug, and thiok it a clam! ‘The Rhiode Tsland ¢iam is of the soft-shell suecies, and Nature has provided it with a long neck.

The clams are brought in tin dishes, steaming hot, just as they are taken from- the * bake.” There is no sstvle™ at these dinoers, As the clams are brought in, each berson assumes a cannibal-like air, and all along the tables you can read in every countenauce the plam determination to et away witth” as many cluns as possible, and to outdo on this oceasion alt previous ef- foris in that direction. 3 dish contaming, per- havs. two quarts of clams 15 dasbed down be- sude your plate.

Amoug the peculiarities of a shore dinner are the great abundance of food provided, and the spint of gormandizing which not only prevails, but is constdered only 2 sign of decent apprecia- tion. The exercise or ordinary temperanee in eating would, on these oceasions, be regarded as a slight,—a stupid and unworthy resistance to the influence of the scductive clam. A CLAM-BAKE. Tne clams are baked in the open air, and the preparation of & “ bake ' requires skill and ex- perience. Rhode Islanders speak scornfully of foreign clam-bakes, even of those made in Mas- sachusetts or Connecticut, although the modus operandi is the same in both cases. A number of stones about the size of a man’s head are ar- ranged 50 33 to form a rude hearth, generally cireular in form, and about six fect in diameter. A dozen or so loose stones are added. and upon these wood is piled up and a great fire started. The fire is allowed to burn until the stones are almost, if not quite, red hot, when the coatsand ashes are swept off, leaving the stones cleun. Wet rock weed, gathered along the shore, is then laid in a thinlayer over the stones. The clams, to the amount of from four to six bushels, are poured on until a pyramid is formed, whose base is as wide as _the heartb. The top is leveled a little, and corn aud sweet potatoes arc added. Sometimes the pyre is graced Dby half-a-dozen clawing lobsters. Strips of canvas or gunuy-baus are laid over the great coue to keep the steam in. The whole is then smothered in great quantities of rock-weed. Iu u few moments the steam hegins to ooze out, and soon the fragrauce of clam pervades the land. A section of the pyra- 1mid is then uncovered and the clams are dished out and carried tothe table. The time required for a bake is from a quarter to balf an hour. Tne important point 1s to get the stones thoroughly heated. Ai some of the resorts three or four bakes are prepared, and as the first is being exhausted the second is fixed, and thus the supply is maintaned fresh and hot. + THE FAMILY CLAN-BAKE is another Rhode Island institution. ‘T'hemem- ber of the famiy giving the bake sends invita- tions to all relatives and kindred who are ac- cessible, and, on the appointed day, these all assemble at the designated place,—often the old 1amily homestead. The tables are arranged under trees, and the ““bake” is conducted very much as previously described. Sometiwnes the invited relatives bring brown bread, cake. fruit, or other accessories of the feast. I attended one of these family bakes the other day, where the attendance numbered about 100 persons. Private clam-bakés are a fashionable enter- tainment throughout the State, and are exceed- ingly enjoyable, becausc the frcedom from formality and the cnforced disregard of style, naturally places the compauny on a good-na- tured level, and gives abundant occasion for the display _of wit and mirth-provoking quali- ties. The private bake are _essentially the same as the public but the trimmiogs from music to grive them an air of gen . Gen. Burnside anu Gov. Vau Zandt are both devotees to the clam, and their entertainments of this kind are proverbial. THE CLAM UNDER REFINEMENT. The most social and exclusive temple conse- crated to the worship of the clam is the estab- lishment of the Squastum Club. Squantum Island is about three miles from the city, near the east shore of the bay. It is a rugmed, rocky mass, the suriace of which is covered witn fine grass and dotted with trees, the httle island forming one of the most picturesque views on the bay. A more beautiful novk could scarcely be imagined. The Club own the island, and have expended about $60,000 in improvements. The buildings, includiug tue club-house proper, Dbilliard-rooms, arbors, etc., are all built ina style to correspond with the peculiar beauty of the charming nd, and the establish- ment is as _charming as a fairy pict- ure, The Club is composed ~of 150 members, the -membership being worth 3300, with vearly dues of $20. Mewbers are allowed to invite any fricnds excepting citizens of Providence and the immediate vicimty. The latter are required to becowe members in order to enjoy the hospitality of the Club, The or- pwamzation is exceedingly aristocratie, its mem bers being men of wealth and high social po tion. 'The regular club~day during the clam sea- son is Wednesaay of each week, and the attend- ance then is usaally very larce. Itisan ordi- wary thing for ope of these weekly gatherings 10 fepresent from twenty-five to fifty millionsof dollars. Lupch is served in the middle of the day, sud the bake is opened at 4 o'viock. The iutenim is devoted to cards, Dbillinrds, ten-pins, ete., and the evening o like amusements, va- ned with champagne, story-telling, and general hilanity and exuberance, the iatter, of course, ouly to that moderate degree which is becoming to 2 millionaire manufacturer ‘and member of the Squantmin Clud. THE SUPPLY OF CLAMS does not seem to be affected by the increasing cousumption. ‘The same grounds are dug over every year; there is 1o culiivation as with oys- ters, und the suoply is always at hand without thought or preparation. It is estimated that a thousand bushels a week are consumed during the season, between Mayand October. All alupg the shore of the bay, in the coves and alopg the island becches, men arc ergaged in dizging clams. At ligh tde the work ceases, o be resumed as soon us the ebb begins. * Hun-. t persons are thus employed, and there dy sale forall thatareoffered. ‘The clams ¢ found in the sand at a depth of from one to siX or elht inches. A person who is “clam- ming " discovers the presence of the clams by striking the sand with s boot, aud the innucents reveal their hiding places by squirting Iittle streams ol water to the heght of ubout six inche: The ground is then raked over and the clams thrown into baskets. Maoy familics living alouy the shore, or on the isiauds, dir clams for their owu use, aud everybody, from the millionaire to the mill-operative, wats them. There is nothing rowmantic about the clan; naturally be is_raher too coutiding for his vwn good. lie will stand almost any degree of abuse before kicking; be is popular but proud, and fecls a proper dignity in the consciousuess that heis the true Lasis of Ruode Island's individuality.

New York, Aug. 22.—There is a stealthy sort of activity behind the scenes in Fashion’s do- main just now, and those who are not privileged to penetrate into the mysteries they conceal are in'a delightful state of anticipation and sus- pense. This is the only kind of suspense that agrees with the feminine organization, and as far as Ican judge it scems to thrive wondertully onit. There is always such & pleasant feeiing of expectation in wondering whether or not the coming styles and tiots will suit us, whether the new shade will set off our hair and com- plexion to advantage, and whether the expected fashions will be becoming to our bhysique or not,—and we never expect the lazter! It 1s safe to assert, even at this carly hour, that the vharming cutaway coat and stylish vest, which have been received with such universal tavor, will hold a prominent place ainoog fall fashions. The graceful Princess will continue to be the first choice, and its variations will be innumer- uble. Among the toilettes that are being pre- pared for the fall openings are several, Princess robes, each so different from the simon- onginal Princess that a casuat observer would fail to detect any similarity. To the initiated, however, there is 3 strong family likencss apparent. One very handsome house or recep- tion toilette is of the very linest Indian cash- mere,—a rich shade of ruby or wine-color, and 4 striped silk of the same color and a shade lighter in fine hair lines. The dress proper is of tne cashmere, and bas a very long trai From the neck, cxtending some little distance below the waist-line, is a shirring of the silk cut bias, aud at its termination falling into a loug, slen- der point. The pecuharity of this vest: inser- tion of shirring is, that, while it is It into the dress from collar to belt, below the belt it is detaciied, and rests simply on tie dress like a separate vest. It is finished around the edee Dby a double cording of silk and cashmere. The bottom has an odd but stylish and pretty trim- ming: parrow gathered ruflles of silk snd cashmere, each pinked along the edees, are put on in clusters diagonally. Those to the right of the centre mecet those at the left in 2 man- ner that leaves an open trizngle at the foot of the sKirt immediately in front, aud this is filled in with a fine shirring of sitk. The tirst ruflies on ecither side consist of three sitk ones and two of cashmere. ‘The next clusters have three of cashmere and but two ol silk, and so it contin- ues alternately all around the skirt. In the back of the train again occurs the triangle, but this time it is above the mecting of the rufiles, and is filled simply by a larze square bow of silk. From beneath each side'of the vest in front emerze widths of silk, which are drawn loosely back and tied in a handsome, unstudied bow low upon the train. The width ‘which crosses the left side is canght up high upon the hip, and is secured’ there with a very large rosette of palest blue satin ribbon.—the ouly bit of contrasting color about the dress. ing and Judicrous tub race oceurred rragut.

A plinble gold fringe, very delicate in _texture, borders the edge of the drapery, which is most zr’"umlly arranged. Tnere is a berthe of gauze hedvily embroidered, and the clbow-sleeves, also of ganze, are richly wroaght with gold, and edmed by fringe. A wreath of gold myrtleleaves for the hair, circlets of the same for neck and arms, com- plete this magnificent costume. <1hese metal trimmivgs, in galloons, gimps, broderies, ete., will be greatty in vogue during the fall and winter.
