M Arny, Indidn agent at Fort Defiance, and a Geputation of fifteen Navajoes, were en route to Wastington. Westeru papers sav they huve 4 good deal of baggage, und In tuis respect, as Well 48 many ethers, are nolike Indians gen- erally. Tk (4 re neatly dreaced, in goods of their ow rication. Next to Gov. Arny, of course, Manuelito, bead war chief, is the most distinguished member of the party. Next to him is Cayatapito, second war chief. The others are named as follows:—Juanito Pal ti-to, wife of Manuelito; Manuelito Segundo, son of Manu- eto; Barbes Hueras, chief councilor; Mar- Hand, second councilor: Cubra Negra, chief; Tene-su-se, chiet; Narbono Primero, chie!; Carnero Mucho, chief; Ganado Macho, chio!: Bueno Cin nia, chief; Jesus Alviso, interpreter; Hauk Easton, interpreter. The Navajoes are engaged enclusiyely in peaceiul pursuita. They are honest, industrious and—best of ali—decent in their habits, in which, it is needless to say they are uot comparable with redekins gon. erally. Their object or mission here is thres- feild. Inthe first place, they want to trade a slip of land, sixty by thirty miles, on tho north edge of thelr reservation, and embracing & part of what is called the San Juan country, for a strip of land equally large on the south of the reservation, in an sgricaltaral aud pastoral region. This sort of a dicker, if consummated, would, ae intended by Gov. Ary, open up to the wBites 9 section amazingly rica in the pro- cious metals, and, at the same tie, separate the Utes and Navajocs, and thu prevent neigh borhoed quarrels. In the secoad place, they desire the adjustment of some complications growing out of the treaty made with them by Geveral Sherman iv 1543. And, third, and last, they will demand some redress for the alleged murder, last summer, of three of their trie by the Mormons who tried to found « colony in Arizona, which murder the Mormons deny. Taz “Brive Back” Trovt, oy Ranearzy, Maine.—We have had the oppuitanity lately to test 8 sample of this curious fish, sent to this city by Hon. O. H. Stanley, one of the Commission - ers of Fisheries of the state of Maine. The “Blue Back” isa mystery.

It is noteworthy, too, that the biue-Dlack, unfike other trout, is fattest at its spawning season. They are captared at this time i» nets by the bushel and barrel, snd when moked and salted they serve as a very able article of winter fare.

OPERS TOILETTLS. No cause of complaint has existad on the Llat- ter score recentiy, the audiences have been large and brilliant in appearance as they e be. Opera in andress is hardly opera at all. [t has been distinctly observable that gentleman pay more attention to the detail of their dress than bas been the case tor some years past. It is rare to see @ gentieman inside the Academy of Music excepting in evening dress, and cer- tainly he would not dare to speak toa lady taers if bis costume were not irreprosebable. Ladies also exhibit great taste and elegance in their tollettes, thonya there isa marked ab- sence of showy coloring. The style of dress uot being adapted to evening bonnets, few are wort, except by ladies who occupy acats in the body of the building avd who wear visiting cove tumes of which tig bonuet or hat forms a te Light gloves added to this passes muster, but in the boxes and dress circle, where there is any pretension to dress, no hats or bonnets are worn, only the hair arranged low in curls and braids, or that latest and most singular combination of the modern with the antique knowa as the “Catogan” coiffure. This style, which 1 have before described, consists in Combing the hair, excepting a fringe, vver the forehead, in smooth waves towards the back of the head, tying it and arranging it in a long single bra‘d, which is factened upina ie with a bow—it cannot be permanent. Itis only becoming to very young ladies of a peculiar type, and the married !2: who attempt it seem fo be aping simplicity to guch an extent that they gladly return to a Uraid which they can fasten close to the head gud arrange as @ corom t. Smuli wreaths of flowers are mach worn, sat up infront of the head, or ssingle lower, ares or white rose, upon the side. GRAY AND BLACK, more correctly, it should be eaid, Quaker drab and black, ere ® very tashionable and elegant combination this seaso: Gentlemen wear dres cravats and gioves of this sott shade cf drab, and ladies unite it witb black silk or velvet, with fine effect. One of the bandsomest costumes seen at the Acudemy was oi black velvet, with veat of drab satin, a drab feather introduced among the black plumes of the velvet hat, and light drab gloves to match. . Gray fox fur is ingreat demand as a trimming for black velvet costumes and polouaises, acd with these shirts and cap bonnets of dra silk or satin are used, the latter trimmed with drab plumes and ornaments of aqua maria’. Drab is also being employed by the nost dis- tinguished modistes for ball dresses, in silk and tulle, the tulle puffed and plaited upon the suk inintinitely varied forms, all arrauged to follow the outline of the igure rather than to prodace drapery. Scarlet geraniums or trails of red and white roses are ly employed for ornam« ing these dresses, which are particularly beso:u- ing to brunettes. Qt remembered pleasures that are VELVET DRESSES. i , but brilitaut by gas light as a net work Of diane nds. These aprons must be made of real jet or they would be too heavy for wear. ‘They are, th , very costly, but they have the merit of being rare, and m conjunction with a rich toilette, very beautifal. The dresses are cut with plain trained skirt, square or V shaped ud coat or elbow leeves.

GERMANIZING ALSACE AND LOR RAINR— Prince Bismarck Depends on Educatian to do th Wert —Iu the German Keichstag, yesterday, the Alsace and Lorraine bill was taken up. Tie deputies from Alsace and Lorraine took ovcasion in ihe course of the discussion to declare that they were opposed to the high endowment of the University of Strasburg and to cther educational grants for the provinces, because they were made in the interest of the empire, and not of the provinces themselves. Prince Blemarck re- plied as follows:—‘*Tbe question before us con- cerns imperial interests. It is not a question of a and —— oa brie - for — rial purpoees. In a well-fought war, in w! ve detended our existence, we conquered those provinces for the empire. Itwasnot for Alsace and Lorraine our soldiers shed their blood.

My own views oy ed ug the creation of an Alsace aud Lorraine lament, which at first were too sanguine, have been modified since I became acquainted with the attitude of the uties from those prov- inees.
