Journal of Commerce.} Parts, January, 1898. Por the last week Paris has been in a whirl of gayety and dissipation. The weather has been so mild that every one walks or drives abroad. The Boulevards and other large streets are lined with the small wooden stalls contain- ing every variety of toy and household articles, from one sou upwards. The large establish- ments of the capital, of millinery, fancy goods, silk and velvet materials, and of papeterie, and of all articles of vertu, areas brill as I have ever seen them at this season, and are crowded with eager purchasers. I donot remember to have known the New Year fete to pass over with greater eclate. The bon bon shops, with the hundred varieties of baskets and boxes «lecorated with fine paintings and beautiful ar- tificial flowers are alone worth the visit of a stranger to Paris. The exhibition of the ma- terials for the Court dresses and trains, of silks and relvets worked and embroidered with gold and silver, is surpassingly gorgeous. At the reception at the Tuileries on the 2d of January, the ladies were obliged to appear_in the Manteau de Cour or Train, and the gentie- men in official or militarycostume. The Court entertainments and ministerial fetes will com- mence this week, and all Paris is looking for- ward to a gay and brilliant carnival. The masked balls have inaugurated the season with the accustomed throng of dancers-and specta- tors. The establishment, which all strangers, in Paris, should visit, is that of the celebrated costumier of the Theatres, and for the masked and fancy balls. There may be hired for the night, the costume required by the actor or ac- tress, whatever may be the character in which he or she is te appear. Historical and national costumes of all ages and all countries are dis- played to tempt the frequenter of the public or private fancy balls. The decorations and ar- rangements of this establishment are unique, and display not only good taste but great re- search and historical and antiquarian know!l- edge. Our mantua-makers are especially occupied with perfecting full dress costume. The hand- some salons of Madame Fauvet, 4 Rue du Men- ars, are filled with ladies ordering elegant toi- lettes, at once rich and simple, always distin- guies. Young ladies find there, their modest trousseaux, and brides their beautiful cor- beilles. The evening toilettes consist generally, for those who dance, of light colored silks or satins, covered with two or three skirts or floun- ves of tulle, crape, lace or blonde, Robes of tulle have often as many as six skirts or floun- wes; sometimes these skirts are merely hemmed, and over the hems are placed small satin rolls ; or else, a wide satin ribbon is passed through the hem. Flounces are also sometimes borderd with plain tulle ruches edged with a narrow blonde. When cut in vandykes, the flounces are bordered with ruches of doubled and very full No, 3 and No. 4 ribbons. Some skirts are puffed all over ; double skirts are also bordered with narrow gold or silver braid, surmounted by fancy foliage of different colors. For young ladies there are becoming robes of Chambery gauza. Some are quite plain, others havea sat- an stripe or small check pattern ; these are made either with flounces or a double skirt. Bail dresses are now worn without any sleeves; onthe shoulders there is ouly a small puffing. to which flowers or bows of ribbon with long ends are fastened. Berthes with long ends are in vogue, and also a kind of narrow lapel coming down ina point bere and rounding over the shoalders behind ; it is generally co ed with blonde or ribbon ruches; or witha cor- don of small flowers put on in the form of a heart in front. There are four new tints for the colors of robes which have appeared this month, styled the China aster, the Alpine pansy, gar- den gilliflow: and the Alpine currant. The Alpine pansy dress isa peculiar shade of violet with a net-work of black chenille, at least 16 inches deep at the bottom of the skirt; above the chenille is placed a small ruche of ribbon The high and plain body is terminated with shed lappets, and it is trimmed with a berthe henille and jet bordered by a fringe in the e atyle Lhe New Year display of the jewelersis tru- ly magnificent. The array at Sarrazin’s, 1? Boulevard St. Denis. of new and unique styles of ormolu and bronze, enameled clocks and watches, brilliant parures for bail toilette; au Imipense assortment of the most beautiful brooches, ring+, and particularly the bracelets of the costly description of the antique Hunga rian work, is well worth the attention of al! Visitors Ciffures of either natural or artificial flowers are the description of head dress the most in vogae The hortensia of two tints without foli- age, with two branches falling on the neck, is especially elegant and becoming. Full-blown roses with foliage and long grass is called the turoan coiffure, from the large tuftof roses giv- ing it the appearance of a turban. Coronets«f foliage are composed of velvet of two tints, garactanlclarct. Mixed with the foliage are silver reeds. Wreaths of volubilis of various colors are mixed with grass and drooping bran- ches Our perfumers have made a brilliant display The show rooms of Faguer, 83 Ru de Richelieu, are filled with useful and cosily articles for etrennes.

The New York Examiner, a religious paper, (Baptist) burlesques the practice of advertis- ing sermons, &c., by giving the following forms for the use of clergymen who have not yet learned this great metropolitan improvement. ie Kev. —— ——., having labored seven months with great sone as reid of the church in ——,, last Sabbath preached his fare- well discourse. There was searcely a dry eye in the house, so deeply wore all effected by the rupture of ties which had been so long acquir- ing strength. After the sermon commendatory resolutions were passed and ordered to be pub- lished in three papers. A little girl then stepped forward, and in behalf of the pew- holders, with a neat address, presented to the retiring pastor a silver tooth-pick. accompanied by the names of the donors, and the amount each contributed, to ‘« show himeelf friendly,” and the recipient, with evident emotion, re- sponded in an eloquent manner. It was an occasion not soon to be forgotten. The Rev. Dr. —,, having recently returned from his European tour, will next Sabbath even- ing, in his own pulpit, give an account of the Ragged Schools in London, and, as an illustra- tion, will exhibit two or three ragged boys, similar to those which he saw in the school near the famous ‘ Coal Hole.’’ Tickets to the lec- ture, five cents, for the benefit of the Sabbath School. The Rev. ———— will next Lord’s day evening entertain the public with a graphic sketch of his late excursion in “ John Brown's Track,” northern New York. By the advice of his physician, he accompanied a hunting party into the depths of that wonderful forest, and his narrative will doubtless be very inter- tes. He will exhibit the skin of a wolf which he shot, and the club with which he killed an unknown animal. Come early if you want a seat. . The Rev. Dr. —— will preach in his own place to-morrow morning, and administer the ordinance of baptism to — persons, all recent converts, the oldest of whom is — years, and the youngest —. The choir, under the direc- tion of that distinguished vocalist, Mr. — will sing two select pieces, and will giv tasiz on the organ. The public are invited. ‘The Rev. Mr. —, latea missionary in Asia will preach to-morrow evening in the church. After a gospel sermon, he will put on the cos- tume of the tribe among whom he has labored, and sing one of their national songs. Tickets ten cents, for his Mission. The Anniversary of the Sabbath School will be held next Sabbath evening. Several weeks have been devoted to preparation and a rich entertainment is expected. The services will be pr ‘yers, reading the Scriptures, the Secre- tary’s report, singing, addresses, dialogues 7 costume, and a mock wedding. Miss — will preside atthe piano. A collection will be taken up to pay the expenses of the decorations. The Ladies’ Mitten Society will hold a bh- zaar next week, commencing on Monday, in —— Hall, the avails to be appropriated to the purchase of mittens for poor children. Many of our first ladies are engaged in the self-deny- ing enterprise. A large variety of curious ar- ticles will be for sale, and every one who pur- chases a dollar's worth will be entitled to an ice cream. There will be an address by some clergyman every evening except Friday, when there will be exhibited an old folk’s party, a genuine take-off of the olden time. Remember the poor bare-handed children.—N. Y. Ex- aminer. A Fiexpisn Ovtrace.—We learn that an outrage of a most fiendish character, almost too horrible and revolting to be chronicled, occur- red in Florence, Ky., about twenty miles from Covington, on Thursday last. In the after- noon of that day, a little girl about six years of age, the daughter Jos. Cryant, Eq., of Flor- ence, was missing from the house. and notwith- standing diligent search was made, could no- whege be found. The neighborhood was aroused, and the wells and streams examined, but search was fruitless, until a negro boy, the property of Miles Marcus, Exq., suggested that she might have fallen into a well that was not used, at some distance from thehouse. Thither the par- ty proceeded, and were horrified to find the brains and blood of the little girl scattered about the top of the well! Search was immediately made in the water, when the body was brought to the surface, anda most painful spectacle presented. The child had been violated, her head crushed in a most inhuman manner, and the skull nearly emptied ot the brains, which were found scattered about the well’ ‘hose who were present say that the sight presented was of the most horrible description. From circumstances which transpired during the search, suspicion fastened upon the negro boy, who suggested making an examination of the well where the body was found, and on ac- cusing him of the crime, he reluctantly con- fessed that he had first violated the person of the little girl, beat her brains out, and then thrown the body into the well to cover up the crime When the fact became known in the neighborhood, the people assembled in ia numbers, and proposed to hang the negro on the spot, and the excitement was so great that it was with difficulty he couid be kept out of the hands of the infuriated crowd, who were deter- mined to wreak summary vengeance upon the murderer. Coolercounsels prevailed, however, and the more moderate of the populace finally succeeded in getting possession of the negro, and handing him over to the civil authorities. He was then conveyed to the jail by a strong guard, and securely confined andironed.—Cin. Daaly Gazette. Feat or Honsewaysuir.—The Harrisburg correspondent of The Philadelphia Press, wri- ting on the 21st instant, says : “A feat was performed here last evening that rivals some of the famed horsemanship of Col. Fremont and his California mustangs. Col. Forney, editor of The Press, was adver- tised to deliver a lecture in Lancasteron Wed- nesday evening, and tor that purpose left here at 12 0’clock noon, but, on arriving at his des- tination, foand that he had left his manuscript of the discourse in his room at the Jones House. Ile immediately telegraphed that, if possible, it should be sent him, either by chartering a locomotive or by a horse express. To get the locomotive it was found impossible, when his friend, Bartram A. Schaffer, Senator from Lan- caster, started in a bu; at precisely 4 p. m. At 10 minutes of 7 o'clock, they telegraphed back his arrival at Lancaster—having made the distance of 37 miles in 2 hours and 50 min- w This, I think, cannot be beaten, when it is considered that the roads are now in a bad cendition, and most of the distance was made after nightfall. Col. Forney delivered his lec- ture to an overflowing house.”’ Tae Manaixp Man.—How is it that girls ean always tell a married man from a single one’ The faet is indisputable. The philosophy of it is beyond our ken. Blackwood says that “the faet of matrimony or bachelors’ legibly in a man’s appearance, that no ingenui- ty ean conceal Everywhere there is some inexplicable instinet that tells us whether an individual (whose name, fortune and cir- cumstance are totally unknown) be he, or be he not, a married man. Whether itis certain sub- dued looks, such as that which characterizes the lions in a menagerie, and distinguishes them from the lords of the desert, we cannot tell; but that the truth is so, we positively affirm.” A Luvicrous Bure On Thursday night last somebody heard a noise in the Kinder! ook Bank, and gave information to the cashier, who yot npand armed bimself with three revolvers, a swordeane and a hatchet. Cashier and informant proceeded to bank; opened door; heard noise; Cashier held bis breath and blazed away; shot took effect; noise snbsided; fouad victim welter- ing in his blood; victim proved to be member of Cashier's familv—his Maltese Tem Cat.
