MAYOR HEATH AND PABRTY, consisting in all of nine persops, ladies and pgentiemen, whose names were given mn THE SoNDAY TRIBUNE of two weeks ago, have resched their destivation, and are encamped on the Brule River. near Boot Lake, a _soot never be- fore visited by a white woman. From a private correspondence ft is learned that the journey was fully as formidable as was anticipated, s the following extracts from letters written by one of the party to a friend in tois cits will demonstrate.” They left Chicspo Tuesday night, the 20th, 8t 9 o'clock, and were at Fort Howard in time for breakfast - the next morn- ing. From there they started for Menomiuee, -8na the] route is graphically described by the "buating on the correspondent as follows, with slight n\:mfiu to gvoid a too close identification of the writer: “On the road we passed _through Peshtigo, and saw the new town and the ruins of the old oue. Our fire was bad cnough, but this must have been even worse, for the poar creatures had no chance for their lives. We went through miles and miles of torests, _with pothing but the bare trunks of trees, stripped entirely of bark, limbs, and leaves by the tise. 1 could think of nothing but the *Ghost of the Forest.! In these woods thereis a_growrh of underbrush, simply impenetrable, 1 am told. The trees are now pretty near the railroad, so 1 ald not get any idca of the beauty beyoud until yesterday. 4 “+All the towns we passed—and there were quite o number—were lumber villages. I saw the Inclosure where a1l the bodies found aiter the fire are buried. There is nothing as_yet to mark the spot. L alsu saw several charcoal pits. ‘The burners saluted us as we possed, and a strange, weird set they were. “About 10: 30 we rcached Mcnominee Junc- tion, a0 after 3 half-bour’s delay in transfer- ring the bageare, we touk our seats benind 8 freight train. in what was called o *way-car.

The house is situated upon a bluff, commanding s nagnificent view of the river and the Wiscousiu shore. Tne building is of loge, chinked all over with moss. Everytbing about it is scrupulously neat. . . « Anout 2 o’clock Friday afternoon, we start- edon our “voyage.” ‘The rivers are very low this season, and it was thought advisable to sbandon the iden of going up in canoes, sud travel in batteaus instead. A batteau, by the way, is 8 boat made of the lightest wood, weigh- ing from 500 pounds down, and measuning trom ten to thirty fect in length. We have two of the latter length and two of the former, besides one beautiful htle cance. for nse on the lake. Betore I go any further, I must give you a description of our party, just as we looked when ready to start. The ludies ull wear very ehort dressts of coarse woolen stuff, trimuwed in & substautial maaner. corduroy leggings, rub- ‘ber boots, etc. Each carries a pistol and a knife, sheached and hung at 2 belt.

Tt flowed tua_wide, glassy sheet between two high, beavily-timbered banks, varied at timcs by huge walls of rock. wherc only pioe trees could snaintain & hold. Every once in ashort distance, 2 huge bowlder would lift its bead, 1o shuw us there was dunger, even under that Soft suriace, By these rocks we could juuge something of the swiftness of the current, for the water rushed sround them very rapidly. Thes also showed ‘us the wonderful dexterity with which the In- dians can manage 2 boat. We would run _between two rocks, where tucre would be just roow for the boats to pass and an inch to spare, and they would ruide them through without touching either side. Atabout 8 o’clock® we passed an Indian village, and there we were joined by “Jesowe, the cook, taking the party com- plete. e brouglt with bim the beantitul new canoe, built expressly for us. “ Aftér a short delay we started onward, the river becoming more and more grand. For about two miles we passed through rapids,— very exciting and av he some time very be: tiful.

But we proved oo much for it. and passed over salely. About 6 we came within hearing of the roar of the Mich- igaurul River, and a bend scon brought us in sizht of its beautiful talls. These fails, or rather succession of 1alls, have a drop ot a hundred Teet, and are situated at the_ junction of the enominee, Michigaumi, and Brale Rivers. A more besutiful sight I neyer saw. * In three-quarters of an honr we were in aur first camp. Almost before I knew it Lwo tents were up, and beds of cedar booghs cut and inade, and a fire built. It bad ramed all the morning, and the air was quite Gamp, so 2 fire was simply delighiful. At 9 we had supper, whieh was_swmptuous, for the ‘bovs’ had kilied two deer coming down, and we had met.

Once we passed a mass of rock tully seventy-five Teet ligh, of very pe- culiar stratincation, looking exactiy as it made for some particular purpose. The water was mare quiet: not 50 many rapids to pass through, and so we made more progress. + At noop we were ut thie fuot of Brule Falls, and at the mouth of the Paiut.” Here was our first portage, and bicre we took dumer. It was a most delightful place. The falls were not so imposiog as the Michigoumi, but still very Jovely. ‘The portage was a uew experience to the ladies. The *boys® think no more of carry- ing one of those large boats uver than an ordi- pary man would of littingachild. Toey onlytake four men toa boat, too. All the mormng I wore iy rubber boots, and evjoyed them: for, fnstead of walking round the rapids, 1 waded tbroueh them, only taking the precaution to keep near shore.

ATTOMY. Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune, Nzw Yorw, Aug. 30.~Already the shops are flled with the brilliant autumn tints, and the new fall materiais are ready for selection. The first thing that strikes one on giving & passing glance at autumn goods is the prevalence of plaids. First of all in point of beauty and rich- ness, s well as costliness, come the magnificent plaid velvets. These are superb, showing gorfzeous combinations of blue, searlet, purple, old gold, amaranth, aud bronze, Someof the putterns are fine checks, outlined by mere threads of color; others are large blocks gorge- ously ayed, and combiving fewer colors. All are tich beyond expression. These will be used chiefly s portions of costumes, as cuffs, collars, plastrons, ete., in union with plain velvets, silks, or handsome brocades. In simpler goods, suit- ings and all-wool materials, plaids agata appear in several varieties. These cousist of small plaids or checks, bars of color, and tuvisible and broken plaids. These fast come under the de- nomination of fancy vlaids, ana are thus kuown 10 dealers. Green, blue, alive, red, old gold, aud Urown are the colors seen in these plaids. They will doubtless be largely worn, 8 it is some time since they have been in vague, snd this season they are certainly very pretty and tasteful. IN MIXTURES there are many and beautiful varicties. One of silic and wool shiows stitches taken here and there over the surfuce u bright-hued silks upon o ground of rich dark color. Otbers bave threads of silk running straight tarough the goods. These threads are usually of twocolors, contrasting finely with the ground of the fabrics as a thread of olive and red apon & surface of dark blue, or scarlet and old gold upon & versy deep ereen. Bat perhaps smong all the novel- tles, the one which will take firmest hold on the popular fancy is that known as coatings, These oods present » moderately smooth surface, and ure very ueavy and ratner loosely woven. They consist of several very rici dark colors so bar- moniously woveu as to have the effect of but one color Wwhen seen from a distauce. Rich brown, with threads of scarlet, yellow, or orangc, tints of olive, Ereen, and the charming teseda are the usual com- biuations, and very lovely they are. These coating are desizneg, for entire sults, citber with loug cloak, or casique, or the stylish coat and vest. With both of tnese will be worn 2 short walking skirt, the texture of the mate- rial renderiug a long or mufh trimmed skirt in extremely poor taste. Thekilt skirt will Drobably be used in tiis material, but it witl make & wolully heavy dress, and Lam advised that the mode! most recommended is 2 piain, short, Zored skirt trimmed around the bottom with a few rows of braid or some similar flat warniture, in case trimming of any sort is de- sired. A novelty for vests and similar uses 18 eorduray, which is exbibited in dark, rich shades of brown, biue, maroon, green, and also fn a tew mortied desigus. Camel’s hair cloth shows a looser and coarser weft than formerly, but contlnues to be quite as expensive. It comes in very clegant and attractive shades, the newest beiu & very biue gray, and come exquisite hazel-browns. Foulards will be extensively used duriug the fall, and even all through win- ter will be estcemed for house dresses. Two new varietles are shown, and both are very pretty. One is of a fine plaid, the other a plain- colored eround with dots O spots, or a very small figared desien in ‘some handsomely cor- trasted color. Sitks, cashmeres, and other solid- colored fabrics show EXQUISITE SHADES. There gre several stades of blue, moss green, olive, both in brown aod areenish tinges, by, sarnct, currant, und absinthe. Among more delicate bues are lavender, straw color, and a very peculiur shade known s pea-straw. Itis extremely beautafuzl, but s apt to be 100 trying for the wuititude, henee it is safe to propnesy that it will be hizhly csteemed by those who can wear it, apd_will be wora Dby ihose wio look Suaply fearful in it. Changesble silks bave aiso made their appearance, avd very lovely ihey are. One besutilul varieiy shows green- ish bronze shading into yellow gold witha quanticy of intervening lights and shades that are exquisite. Another showing deep, rich purple shifuing its dark shadows 10r giimmering reddish hues 1 very elegant. Satin will be ex~ tremely _poputer. Not only will it be used solus. -for toilettes, but will eoter larzely lnto combination. A novelty is saun striped silks which are estremely bandsome. Oue-variety is being extensively made up into fmodels for the coming openiugs. It is an inch- wide stripe of black and white, the former silk, he latter satin. It may be cowbived with 3 plain variety of either goods. ONE VERY ELEGANZ TOILETTE i= of this striped satin and of plain white satin. 1t 15 o reception dress or very full dress dinner toilette. 1t is em Priucess, the frout being of thie striped sutin. From tbe throat to the toot ot the rabe down tue front is un fusertion of tain white saun. This i8 shirred jo clusters of flvrizantzl puils, and between the clusters are ruws of exauisite black lave, put an very scant. S0 that its pattern is brought cut very baldly ‘against the white satin epeath. A plain band of white satin ruus along cach side of tlus inserted front, and over it also is placed a row at lack. The back has a basque fallivg nipon 8 skict Isid fu a triple box-pieat which produces a handsomely shaped traln; the bottom of which, as well as tac front aod sides of the dress, is finisbiea with three narrow rufiles of white satin, each overlaid with lace. Tue siceves, which reuch sligntly below the elbow, are of striped aund are fnished with three narrow ruffies of white satia covered with Igce which correspond with the earniture on the skirt. The basque back i3 trimwed around the bottom with a scant rufile of white satin beneath jace. Large round buitons of white satin, covered with 2 medollion or wheel-like pattern cut from the lace, ornument the basque sparingly. ANOTHER VERY ELEGANT TOILETTE is composeu of satin of a beautifully soft pearl- aray, and asitk of the sume sbade having o palka-dat of satin. This nas s long-trained &kurt, ot plaiu satin, finished around tie bottom by sevea very uarrow rufiies. - Four of these are of plain satig, and are Jaid in fine kilt picats, and the other three are of the satin-dotted si'l, ind are mathored. The drapery, which is formed o1 three scarfs of the fancy silk, is most grace- Jully arranged, and is caught at mapg flaces With roscttes of gros-rain ribbon. ‘These rosettes are formed of inch-wide ribbon of two colors, a delicate rose and pale blue, and have each satin polks-dots of theiwr owa color in pro- fusion upon the gros-gralusurface. The basque i8 o very handzome one, being tight-itting, and beautlially adjusted to the figure by means of many Seams. The tront is shehtly_rounded at the bottom, and the back is cut in similar style, tut is songer, The side bodies extend into Jong points, which fall upon the drapery ab Lhe sides nearly to the knees. The ecdwe of the basque is tnished, points and all, by 1d0ps of the two ribbons placed below x cord- vz, The neck jscat square, and the sleeves are elbow slecves. Boin they and the neck are finished with fine ruchings of crepe hsse aud loops of ribbon. This is a very bandsome apd unique toiletre, and has been much aduiired by all who have been priviieged to-have 2 peep at it. The majority of dressesnow being prepared ior extubition are in Princess style. A STIIKING FEATURE of nearly all is the conspicuous contrast of col- ors they display. Instead of having the mare brilliaut sud vivid of thecontrasting colors used sparingly in_triwmiing, they enter largely into the dress. Sometimes the side breadihs are of the bright color, azain the front may be of it, or the centre back, either reaching from the neck down, or bemn added below the hios un- der the drapery. Thus a Princess of rich olives green has tne centre-front of upturned folds of palest blue satin, a scar! drapery also of the Tatter, and just betow the hips in the back is serted a Watteau pleat, also of the satin, which flares the tram clegantly, and imparts a striking effect. The shirred insertions, either simulaced vests, plastrops, or ;a full-length front, are much worn. With these desigus, a lady of very siender figure and a thin arm may venture upon shirred siceves, which are vers bandsome. A very handsome. TOUSE DRESS is of dark gray silk tnmued with fine plaid of tne most brilliant colors. it is a Princess costume, and across the front run three bias folds of the plaid. A baud of the same forms a. Dointed colldr, and runs down the seams ig the back of the dress. Around the bottom of the front and sides runs a foot deep pleating.of silk, headed by three bias tolds of plaid. Tpe train lias three narrow pleatings, each four laches wide, and is also headed by the three bias folds. ‘I'he Aleeves are of dark gray silk, and huve elaborate cuffs of plaid. . Hasques stall continue in high favor, in spite of the great popularity of che Princess robe. Almost all the uew basques have real or simu- Iated vests, and a noveity 10 the latter shows them handsomely embroidered. The effect is very elegant.
