On Friday moruing of last week @ genteel leoking stranger introduced himself to Major Richards, at police headquarters, as B.

The visi- tor stated that he had been sent here by the mayor to get an orphan boy from the Sol- diers" and’ Sailors’ Orphans Home in this city, and being a stranger vtesired directions And assistanee from the police. Major Richards,afver bearing bis story, and lookiug over such papers as he produced, called in Detective Clarvoe and requested bim to reu- der Mr Evos toch assistance as be needed. A STHANGE STORY. The story told by him was so strange that uisted the Warmest sympathy of Mr. who at once set about arranging for the accomplishment of his mission bers. Among the papers he produced were several letters trom L.

To General Hunter belongs the cresit Of arranging for the transportation of the boy to bis home in Rochester. It was ar- Tan between the matron and officers that Willie should be got in readiness to leave that evening, and that Messrs. Enos and Clarvoe should call for him later in the day. ‘The officers then proceeded to the residence of General Hunter, on I street, where the matter was fully discusset with Mrs. H. A PATHETIC PARTING SCENE. At the hour appointed, the officers called for Willie, who was in readiness, aod afier an affectionate leave-taking with all the boys, and a regretful parting with the kind hearted matron and his geuerous [rieads, Mrs. General Hunter and the general, h= bounded with @ light heart to tne earriage, @ud Was Foon out of sight.

Tne ears were about starling,when Willie seemed for the first time to realize the separation from his friends and associations, and the tears coming into his eyes he completely broke dowu under it and let: tue depot ia hat state. 4 FOUR MONTHS’ OLD ORPHAN AND HIS FRIENDS. Desiring to know more of the history of this case, a STA reporter, 1a company With Mr. Ciarvee, called upon the matron of the Heme a. They were welcomed in by this kind lady, who, upoa meation of the name of Willie, seem greatly affected, especially when told that he broke down at leaving this city. She sald Willie was a good, truthful and honest boy, and although @ little mischievous some times, was a gen- eral favorite, and when the carriage door closed upon him the night before the child- Ten exclaimed, “O, my, don't it seem as if a funeral bad taken place.” She then related So much of his history as she knew, stating that Mrs. Captain Morris, who lived duriag the war in East Washington,and now resides Was the first one to take any interest in Willie, who was oaly four months old when bis mother died in Providence hospital. Mrs. Morris provided clothing and a home for the tufaut for two ears With Kate Jones, a uurse or patient in hospital, shedidu’t kuow which. at the game time the cliild’s mother was there. Mrs. Morris, a generous-hearied lady, was a con- stant visitor at the hospital, and, knowing the little orphan, looked after ‘it coastantly; had it baptized io St. Paul's (Episcopal) eburch, standing god mother for it herself, and it was through Mrs. Morris’ personal efforts in lookiog after Willie, and the inter- €st she awakeued among other beuevolent persons, that THE SOLDIERS’ AND SAILORS’ ORPHANS HOME Was instituted; first at the navy yard; then it Was moved to the Spanish minister's old re- sidence, on Capitol Hill; thea to Kendall Green; ‘finally ‘to its present comfortable Quarters on G street; and Willie was the first child entered tn it.

What will, or what will not be high fashion, it is somewhat difficult to tell. The patchy, inartistic character which distia- uished the designs @ few years ago, has een transferred to combinations in material, and the long, elegant, simply cut. graceful coats and Princess dresses are arranged like an old-fashioned counterpane in alternate stripes of different fabrics, as for example, | velvet and silk, xrmure silk and plain fatlle. camel's hair cloth and silk, orthe new “knap- | ped” cloth and velvet.

AUTUMN DRSIGNS. A fall style not very new, but one of the Siuplest and prettiest, consists of a dem!- trained skirt and paletot In a modified Bre. ton style of plain dark, rich faille, trimmed Witn @ broad India galoon and sheil battons. The bodice is not made with the costume, e but enough silk accompanies It to complete | the dress in any style preferre 1; so that it is Teally more advantageous than if flaished in some arbitrary fashion. The costumes are made in seal brown, the new shades of dark green and Russian gray. Navy blue has been so well worn that it Is rather avoided tn the making up of new styles. A Paris cos: tume, intended for fali wear, consists of long paletot, reaching nearly to the bottom of an ordinary walking skirt of rich biack silk. In front @ piece 18 introduced in the Breton style, but instead of small battons, tt is outlined with broad bands of velvet which are carried round the bottom and form straps across the front as far as the knee. Had. some shoulder Knots eroament the top of the sleeves and passmenterie ornaments of the same description are repeated upon the cuffs, the pockets and the Upper froat of the garment.

These two parts constitute the costume, no bodice being required, ex- cepting @ close vest, which shoild be at- tached to the skirt. DRESS TRIMMINGS. The new trimmings are varied anil very costly. In addition to the heavy brails and embroidered galloons, which have now taken @ secondary piace, we have rich gimps aud passmen‘eries, arranged as plagnes military shoulder knots, guille and sword knots, or namental fastenings and the like. The passmenterte headings are, many of them, three and four inches in depth, and are studded with drop buttons, like acorns, the manner of making per eel. repro- ducing the natural fruit, or with little tassels Knotted and crimped. 0 as to impart a pecu- liarly feathery and graceful appsararce to the garment, which Is enricied by them.
