Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune. XNEWw yonrg, Oct. 3.—Did you ever think what a misfortune it’is, attimes, to be a woman, when one has not a pleasautly plethoric pursel Can alord of creauion realize what it is to o shop- piog with pennics where pounds should bet I fearnot. But trust a woman to feel this wo of ber sex. To-day I have been seeing such lovely things—bonnets that would so suit my “style,” toilettes that I am sure would be becoming— that ‘I am inclined rather to weep and make moan than to expatiate on their beauties to you, for, alas! they are not mine. To-day has been a day of openings, and gorgeous indeed has been the display: 1 bardly konow where to give the preference,—tothe cxquisite costumes, the love- ly hats and bonnets, or the thousand and one little thiags that go to make up a charming and satisfactory ensemble. Place aux robes! One very elezant toilette is of ecru silk, with an inch-wide stripe of garnet satin combined with garnet silk, plain, and a handsome bro- cade of both colors. The skirt of the dress is of the plain silk, aod is trimmed with three gathered ruoffles.© These are of the satin striped material, are bias, and are cut in small sharp points at the Jower edge. Heading each rufile is 2 band of the brocade. The overdress is of the striped satin, and falls on the left side in along pointed end. At the rightitis caught up quitehigh, and reveals abroad revers of brocade having a pufl of plain silk down the centre. The back of the overdress is puffed aud fastened with large bows of plain marnetsilk. The edzes are all cut out in points, and beneath them is a {full and handsome fringe of ecru and garnet silk. There is a pocket of striped goods, witha vest of brocade. The vest at the bottom is also cut in tiny points, and has a very odd and pretty appearance. The sleeves are of plain silk, with large and most elaborate cufls of brocade, and the strived eatin. Another very band- some toflette is of silk and satin. The dress is a Princess of dark, rich Dblue sill. The front of the skirt is trimmed with tull- pufls and pleatings, which show fac- ings of pale-blue’ sstin. The bottom of the skirt in the ‘back is finished with two deep box- pleatines, each put on with a standing heading. ‘This fs lined with pale-blue satin, which is shown here and there, 1s the centre of each box-pleat is fastened 'back. There is a very elaborate drapery of dark-blue silkand the palé- blue satin in tbe back. The waist is cut open in a point to the belt, and between the open edges shows a fine shirring of pale blue. The sleeves reach somewhat below the elbow, and are fin- ished Vith 2 pleating and puff of satin. One of tie most superb dresses is of purple silk and embossed velvet: it is also a Princess, and has a very long pointed train. This and the sides of - the skirt are bor- dered by a deep box-pleating, headed by arow of oak leaves cut from the embossed velvet. The centre of each box-pleat is also trimmed with three oak leaves, overlying each other a little, ana graduated in size, the bottom one beinzthe smallest. In the frontare two long triangular revers of velvet, turned back uvon the sides from a front formed of one mass of shirring. The slceves and the long, pointed collar are also of velvet, and the former have cuffs of silk, while the latter is edged with a delicate pleating of silk. AN EXTREMELY RICH COSTUME is of plan and watered sitk of a beautiful maroon color. The skirt,_is very long, and has at the foot adeepflounce, laid in'tiny side-pleats. Over this falis a broad piece of the watered silk, which is cut out in large squares, between and bepeath which the pleating shows. ‘Lhese squares arc finished with three very due pipings ot plain silk. There s an elegant osition of the drapery, which is of the wa- tered silk. It is laid in five uptorned folds in Iront, and is so draped in the back as to give the effect of a bow tied witn three long loovs. The basque is cut out in squares around the bottom, and beneath them shows a pleatioz of plain &llic, for the basquo is of tue watered picce. The slecves are of plain silk, but have claborate cuffs of the former. A striking dress which at- tracted much admiration was oune of foreizn manuiacture, showing & remarkable: contrast in colors. The dress is a reception toilette, and bas o long square train, as so many have. 1t is tritnued around the bottom with a shell box pleating lined with old-gold satin. The dress itselt is of rich royal purple silk. The waist bas a long insertion both back and front. This insertion is bound with old- gold . eatin, termunates in a long -slender point, and is of embossed velvet. The design of the latter is very elegant aud novel, showing sprays of Canterbury bells iu purple velvet on an old-gold satin ground. A drapery of this clepant material is gracefully arranged) and. is 50 Jooped at futervals as to display a facing of old-gold satin. . A DRESS which has been ordered in duplieate by a num- ber of 1adies is one chiefly of black satin.. Itisa Princess robe, and has around the bottom a nar- row side pleating of crimson satin. The neck is cut in surplice style, and is finished around the opening with a narTow upriaht pleating of crim- sou satin, over and beueath which is a frill of black lace. The drapery 15 of a rich black damasse. It is irregularly disposed across the front, and is cut upon each side to display an in- sertion of crimson satin laid in pleats. The too conspicuous coloring of the satin is sub- dued.by a 1all of wide black lace arranged en cascade. The sloeves are slashed up the out- side, and pleating of a crimson gatin, softened by lace,.is placed beneath. This is ono, of the, -féw dresses in whose construction lace is -em- plosed. Indeed, with the exceptionof full, evening toilettes, it is the only one on which I bave scen jace at all. An excecdingly stylish costume is one haviog the skirt of Tich dark- brown eilk simply trimmed with a box-pleated flounce. The overdress is of ‘browa silk, com- bined with a figured cashmere, which shows al-' |_most every known color. It greatly resembles *tle border of areal camel’s-hair. shawl, except that the design. is lareely wrought-in silk, The ‘_overdress - is . formed of six folds: three of silk slternating with three of cashmere. From the lowest fold, which is of silk, falls a ric Tringe of every color scen in the ere. The jackot-is of silk with vest, cufls, collar, and packets of - cashmere, + The- collar in the back simulates a long pointed hood, ana is. bordered by.the handsome fringe, while two " heavy usse_fi ornament the end. ‘o accompany Itis trimmed witha ribbon exactly like the \cashmere, has the brim embroidered nirderneath with every color scen in the cashmere, aud hasa i stany, though never as strong, a8 boarding- very long drooping brown plumeof the shade of the silk. The bonnets and “sich ” deserve a chapter to themselves, so [ reserve them for t. Marrie 8 SOCIETY TOPICS. The Marquis of Lorne has his valise packed, and is now helping the Princess Louise by jumping on the Saratoga trunk while she straps it. E We have heard of mean husbands, but the meanest within the whole scope of our world- wide acquaintance is that perfidious sneak of New York, John Johnson, who stole his wife's wooden leg and pawned it. The young Prince lmperial, so called, of France, it is not likely will ever disturb that Republic. He has a very indecisive face, re- sembling his mother’s. It is the opinion of those who have scen him that the young man don’t amount to much. Matrimonial matters are picking up, it would seem. Giles, Bro. & Co. have sold a2 hunared diamond engagement rings during the past ten days. They were talking about the weight of dif- ferent individuals in a certain fawily, and the danghter’s young man, who was prosent, spoke up before he thought, and said: 1 tell yon that Jenny iso’t so very light efther, although she looks 50.” And then he looked suddenly conscious and blushed, and Jenny became ab- sorbed in studying a coromo on the watl.

One of the changes that lave taken place in mourning, of late years, is the gradual abandon- ment of crepe as a dress trimming. This has been caused partly by & moditication of public opinion in regard to the nes y for wearing mourning at all, and_partly by the introduction of a grreat variety of dull, black materials, which can be made smficienuy expressive without the addition of a faoric which is frail, costly, and disagreeable to wear. 3 Ladies, take your laces to Madame Masurier, 125 Srate street, to be cleaned. ‘The Cincinnati Gazelte asserts that ‘‘a superb” private residence in St. Louis, with well-im- proved and highly-ornamented zrounds, 1: 135 feet in extent, situated on one of the favor- ite streets, the whole costing §113,000 thirteen years ago, was sold at auction last week for $13,950. The accident to Bancroft, the eminent his- torian and diolomat, last week, recalls his famous saying on musical matters when Mine ister to Gérmany: “ [ was very proud,” he re- marked, “to hear it saiu that this land of mu- sicians fiad never produced a piano equal to one of Amerfcan make—the lallet, Dovis & Co.” ‘We are all glad to know that Mr. Bancroft will recover, and equally glad to know _that W, W.

The¥ jealous wife of a Cinannati shoemaker admitted that it was necessary for him to puton women the new shoes that they bouzht, but she objected to his performing that service in the case of old and consequently easy shoes. A young woman weut into his'shop to have her shoe meaded while she waited. When it was finished she piaced her foot in his lap to have it put on and buttoned. While he was absorbed in this his wife came to the door, and the scene aroused her jealousy. She went out and ot o clothes-line, doublea it to a convenient length, came back and remarking that she had been married to him fifteen years, and he had never offered to put on her shoes, she gave hima lashing with the rope in the presence of .the in- nocent customer.

MiLToN L. Sxrra, American Girls Visltlng Vesuvias by Night. Two American girls detérmined to ascend to the crater of Vesuvius duging the first week of September, and, accordiug to the statement of an Engiishman, who wrote immediately a full sccount of the matter tosthe London " Times, narrowly escaped, not falling in, and finding “ there was nothing n it,”-but being swindled. They were informed at the hotel, and also by a trusty guide, that there was no danger from the condition of the mountain; but the journey sbould be performed at night, as the heat of the day was oppressive. They were advised to be on the cone by sunrise, A gentleman, who was a stranger to them, and, perhaps, less olucky, but who proved good company, agreed to ac. company them; and the three employed n - safe courler, who _spoke English. ‘The party went to Pompell in the atternoon, reeted from 7 till12 o’clock, and then, at midnight, after a cup of strone coflee, started out upom what they supposed must prove to them a delizhtful excursion. By3 a.m. all were at the summit. The wind howled and blew the sulphurous smoke into their lunes and eyes, and the fires only partly lizhted up the darkness. Then the ten Italian guides asked the ladics to descend into the outer crater, in order to compel them to pay & fee for an ‘ex- tra.” They declined tozo. The courier was appealed to for bis influence to inauce them to go. He simply asked thewm if they wished to zo, and upon their sayinz no told the men g0 They became only the more exasper- ated, and began quarreling with the courier. He remained good-natured, but they bantered him, cleuched their fists, and then went througha scene which beggars deseription. Faney the night, the place, the persons,—two ladics and a stranger, with ten Italians bent on robbing them of maoney,—and these demons before the glare of this little hell fizhting the courier him- sclf. The ladies had ired to be carried up the cone on the chairs always in waiting, but were asked 40 franes each for that service,— nearly £5 for the three; and that in cousequence of the conduct of the men no picasure whateve was derived at the summit, At 8 2. m. the reached Pompell again, glad to be sith civilized peoole, although drenched to the skin by the rain which began at 7, and which they hurried through on horseback in order to be out of the reach of all the scoundrels who seemed to infest the region of Vesuvius. ——————— A Startling Anti-Chinese Argument. San Franclsco Chronicle. C. C. O’'Donnell, who has for o long time past fizured conspicuously in the anti-Chinese agita- tion io this city, created quitca_ sensation at noon to-day by driving through the public streets in an open express wagon with a leprous Chinamau as his companion. srhe patient’s face was exceedingly repulsive, being covered with blotches, wrinkles, and tubercles. O’Donnell exhibited the Chimaman as. one_phase of the Mongolian curse with which the Pacific coast is afllicted, and at short intervals aloug the line of. travel he would stop. command the' Chinaman to stand up, and then proceed to harangue the multitnde which promptly gathered on the-Chi- nese question, directing espécial attention tothe living illustration presented. 0'Donnell’s course throuh the strects was, however,cut shoft in front of the Paiace Hotel, where be had gathered an enormous congregation of people around Dim, officers steppiog up and arresting him and his living _exbibit and the driver of the wagon, on charses of publicly exhfbiting a diseased and deformed person and obstructing a public thor- oughiare.

ART. in His Studio—Phaldra Ocnone—His Other Picturcs. To the Editor of The Tridune. Cnicago, Oct. 5.—When the visitor to - Paris is wearied with the unceasiug bustle of the great city, he finds in the northwestern quarter arefreshinz retreat in the little Parcs de Hon- ceauz, orizinally planned as a fashionable re- sort for the nobility, but converted now into national property. Facing this charming spot. is the princely residence of Alexandre Cabanel, in whom the people of the Nortbwest take new interest since the display at-the Exposition of the painting of * Phedre et Ocnone,” owaed by Mr. Leiter. The artist, born in 1823, is now in his prime, of good figure and hand- some appearance. His full beard is tinged with gray, and his brieht and piercing eyes are deep- Iy set under a broad forehead, the expression of his face combining affability and intensity of will. He is a man rejoicing in hosts of most enthusiastic friends and of positive egemies, the ove class attributiug to him ull the virtucs usually dseribed to a successful man, and the otbers as freely charging him with infelicitfes in domestic life, with the unblushine effrontery of introducine into bis picture the fgure of the mistress of his sccond establishment, the re- sorting to the underhand methods of a schem- ing politician to obtajn promotion, and a hypo- critical “nature, shielding supreme selfishness under the flimy veil of seeminz generosity. It is_impossible to draw the line of truthin the midst of such aross differences, and it will be well to keep theattention tixed solely on his art. Cabanel’s studio is in the third story of his princely home, of which the chief glory is the spacious parlor, whose one large window over- looks the beautiful park. The floor is covered with a square ‘lurkey carpet, the walls gre ornamented with a dceo-red paper, the ceillng is of dark wood, witha ccutre-piece of decp blue, the furniture is rich but unobtrusive, and toe chief painting is the master’s study for the great pleture of “The Triumph of Flora,” near- Iy “ompleted for the erand Staircase of the Tuileries ot the time of the downiall ot the Emplre, and_consumed in_the destruction by the Communists of a portion of the Louyre. Iis types of female beauty have given to bim the wide reputation bie now, possesses, his atten- tion having lnrzalé been®'given to the reprd- sentations of the Guddess Venus: the finest belongzed to the Empress. *“The Birthof Ve- nus” was painted for s gentleman in New York, and duplicated for the zallers of Heury C. Gibson in Thiladelphia, aud a “still more recent picture of the Goddess of Beauty repre- sents her return from the contest before Paris, dismissing the doves which have served her so well in drawing her chariot, and m her left-band she holds triumphantly the roldeh apple. In the same way the artist has treated at Ieast twice the story of Phe.ire, basing his paint- ings on tho tragedy of Racine, instead of turn- ing back to the older trugedies of Sophocles and Euripides, of whose structure only the traditions now exist. Hence the paintings of Cabanel refer to the French story more plainly than to the old mytlology of Greece. As at first painted by Cabanel, Phedre, in classicrobes of white, reclines tn the shadow of an ancient grove, one arm being _slightly thrown over n bauk of turf, and the fingers of the other touch the ground. A mantle of bluish-zreen falls from her torm, and tae face is turned from the spectator towards an opening throusn the trecs, gvinga view of a distant plun and of a charioteer urging forward his steeds. She is now watciing for livppolytus in the dawn of her guilty pas- sion, depicted in the first act by Raciue. e rods, oh! that I could be seated’in the shade of the forests! How can I, at the caprice of a noble cloud, follow with the eye a chariot fleeing on the race-toursc.” - There is a sinister expres- sion in her countenance indicative of the fore- boding of evil, but it {s entirely different from the story of Mr. Leiter’s pictnre. There is a breadth of meaning in thus later picture not bounded by any narcow decision, and tie artist wiselyleaves the Interpretation to the stu- dious analysis of the sbectator. Thestory of guil- ty passion, of revengaat his disdain, of remorse after detection of evil life. are before all, and each must determine for nimsell whether illicit love or the first effeet of a vegetable poison is consuming the life-blood. Racine puts in the mouth of the wicked woman her confession to Theseus: ‘The moments arg dear to me; Thesens, hear! 1t was 1, who on thy chaste, respectful son, Dared throw an es¢ profane, unnoly. Cabanel and 1 have taken and gent throush my burning veins A poison that Medea bronslit to Athens. Already to my heart the venom comes Throwing over this dying heart u chill anknown. Cabanel has been the reciplent of nuwmerous honors from the French Government, obtaining numerous medals and decorations, st his ju- fluence is ereatest throurh his connection with the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and doubtless the most virulent charres agaiust him rise from the numerous prizes accorded to Lis pupils in the various national contests. As a fizure-painter e is far more successful than n portraiture. At the Salon of this year he exhibited a portrait of a young lady, dressed in white silk, with a blue lace sush, dotted with white, thrown over her leit shoulder, but the flesh was almost bloodless white,. and the . weakness of shadow and light alike siartled every ad- mirer. A better portrait was of a married lady arrayed in black velvet, cut square at the neck, with undraped arms. The olive tints of the complexion of a bruuctte were far more satisfactorily treated, but there seems no ex- cause for the hardness of the lines where met flesh and drapery, whether at head, neck, or arms, destroving the feeling of roundness and of beauty. His contribution of portraits to the Paris Exposition is_superior, though that of a Duchess has litile character in the face, while o refiued taste is very evident inthe dress. A Countess is undeniably a beauty. The hands are placed forward on a table in a very formal way, the head is efevated, aund the fur trimming on the black velvet drapery ge; P landfome neck. The Eroup of . Domd in black velvet, with her two lrtie ol in white, has little grace of cowpoyi o itio- ucd the rizidity of pusture appeo® to the requirements of photography.
