The fall trimmings. for bonnets worn on the promenale, consist of ribbons and feath- ers, chiefly the latter, all of the same color with the bonnet.

It may be brown, blue, or green. diferent shades, and the bonnet made of this material is decorated with ostrich p!umes of the same color, tipped with marabout, the trim- ming put {arin front—where therv is a fall of lace—so as to dispense with any for the inside. except ruche of illusion. A bonnet of dark silk, covered with delicate chenille netting, trimmed with ends of chenille and flowers, also been much admired. But the various styles will require further description. The taste in bijouterie is decidedly toward a more la expenditure in the article.

It was all noo to me, never hevin pardissipated in wun of these preechin and prayin bees afore. I persoom thar was about five hundred sinners on the camp ground, and mebbee fifty or sixty saints, or less, kwartered in tents and shanties. The sinners, as I was informed by wun of the and | watehmen of the camp, had cum to be born has | agen, and the saints, I spose, attended as a kinder relidjis accooshers to assist in that my- rackalus operashin. The preechers, as was nateral, ockypide the beat shanty on the ground ; and this hedkwarters of holiness was have seen a lady's white wrist perfectly loaded amply purwishined to stand a week’s sege from with bracelets, each of which, had it been iron instead of gold, would have been complained of as a grievous fetter. The huge Jinks of man- acles were there, but the yellow tint substituted complacency for repini A bridal of jewelry has been on exhibition here, within a fortnight, — of diamonds of the purest water, mingled with costly pearls, and consist- ing, besides bracelet, brooch, necklace, &c., of “2 ,”’ for looping up the lace skirt, formed ofa riehcluster of gems. This splendid set is of the rarest workmanship, and probably costs a hundred thousand dollars. A nice litile for- tune for a bride to give away with her fair self !—for the legal decision of some judge, we do not remember where, has settled thata wife's ornaments belong to ber husband. The fashion of setting diamondsin black enamel has become genera!, especially among ladies not very youtbful. A bracelet of these magnificent eins, precisely like one worn by the Empress nugene, has been exhibited at the store where itis forsale. Florentine jewelry—in imitations of antique articles, grotesque heart shapes, and classical forms—is considerably worn for home evening costume. Of this kind is the wreath made for Madame La Grange—a double wreath of laurel leaves, studded with acorns—the price of which was five hundred dollars. The del- icate flower clusters and wrought ornaments of coral, so much worn with light dresses during the sammer, will probably give place to heavier ornaments as the season advances. OPERA CLOAKS. The approach of the Opera season, which is expected to be one of unusual brilliancy, has enused the molistes to have in readiness some new and beautiful opera cloaks. One is eut the enemy and all bis imps, which was nateral also, the laborer bein wurthy of his hyer. Skrimmaging with Satan at ninety degrees of Farinheat in the shade; is blazin wurk, and as thar was four sarmints, six hims, two sams, and twenty-two prairs got off doorin tho day and nite [ wns on the spot, Ime will to admit that these hevinly bush fiters airnt thar grub and the colleckshuns, witeh was frequint. The munny, howsever, was for the salvashin of the canpyballs of Maddygascar, who is literilly starvin for Bibles, and hes recently ben com- pelled to ete two misshinnerries in order par- shilly pgeatity thar pious a petights ontil the arrival of a cargo of the bred of lire. In coarse, onder seteh suckemstances contribushins was liberal, and I hope when the savidges gets the Bibles and the Testyments it may do em good. The ruff pine stand in the senter of the cam was filled doorin the hours of wuship with indi- widyals in black sutes, white chokers and strait greesy_hair. All thar faces peered to hev been sot arter the same pattern—eyes thrown up- pards, mouth corners pulled down, and « gen- eral Shoe as of they was under the gallus, had bid adoo to thar friends, and was goin to be turned off in the full expektation of an everlas- tin brile.

It 1s of fine white cashmere, bordered deeply with silver plush, with heavy chenille tassels depending from the sleeves, which are also trimmed with plush. The quilt- ed lining is of cherry colored satin. The centre of the hood is quilted with white satin, embroid- ered with silver plush, and finished with che- nille tassels. The hat is of rice straw, bordered with a fall of lace and trimmed with a cherry colored plume, and the strings of white taffeta are bordered with cherry velvet an inch wide. In this elegant costume the wiles of coquetry may be as perilous asin a ball room. SHAWLS AND MANTLES. But few of the new styles have as yet been shown to the public. Among these, we notice one just imported from Paris. It is of the cir- euiar shape, and folds over the arm like a wide sleeve. The material is a fine drab plush of exquisite quality, varied by wide stripes of plaid plush in very gay colors ; the stripes run- ning straight up and down, and alternating with egual widths of the drab, with borders of pied dae the fronts, which are braced across with straps and buttons. The hood is made like a handkerchief, the er folded square across, ornamented at the side by corners of Plaid plush, and finished with rich tassels to correspond. It 1s confined at the neck with cord and tassels, which may be slipped so aa to allow it to fall partly off the shoulders, and dis- play the elegance of the dress beneath. he fashion of having the walking dress and os of the same material and color has n gradually gaining ground. But when the season is at its height this will not generally prevail. Plush and chenille will be favorite matérials for the ground work as weil as for the trimmings of garments. A graccful and stylish mantilla for this month is a shaw! com- posed of a small syuare of black cashmere folil- ed over and bordered with crimson eashmere, which is edged with deep lace. “‘ The Shetland” has been lately introduced. It i< netted by hand, of fine woullen yarn, of white or some subdued color, and the lower part pres nis the appearance of @ circular chenille shawl, iu chintz pattern, with black border and fringe.
