Tne Corree CRor IN VENEZUELA —Our minister to Venezueia in a dispatch to the Department of State informs us that the coffee crop of that country tor the present year promises to be a good one as to quality but short in quantity. The falling off will prob- ably average 20 per cent. The reports from Brazilareto the same effect. Last year the deficiency was in the quality of the coffee and notin the quantity. This caused a decline in the value of the crop equal to 25 per cent. The trade and business of Venezuela is very much depressed, and the minister especially advised those disposed to emigrate to that country to examiue carefully and consider well the prom- ised advantages, and not to proceed on vague and imperfect information.

As usual, in the absence of its head, the Navy department was not represented. Most of the time was devoted to a discussion of the appli- cation of the Utah and Northwestern rail- roaa’s application to be allowed to pass through the Ute Indian reservation. It was fey thought that under the treaties and laws with the Ute Indians such permission could be granted by the government. It was, however, decided that the better plan would be to ask the permission of the Indians to ajlow the road to pass through the reserva- (ion. ~ Such a course wiil be pursued.

Her Minister Here Recalled. —— YELLOW FEVER ON A TRAIN. —_.—_—_. THE ACKLEN SCANDAL. The Investigating Committee. New York, Oct. 1—A New Orleans spe- cial says the Ackien scandal commiitee met yesterday afternoon in close session; present udge Voorhees, ex-Goy. Penn, Major Hear- sey, Duncan F. Kenner. Judge Theard, and J. A. A. Gauthreaux O'Rourke were absent. ACKLEN SAYS IT IS A CASE OF BLACK-MAIL. Mr. Acklen made 2 preliminary speech, in which he said beeen the entire case in the committee’s hands, and would retire from the ticket, if they saw fit so to advise him. He claimed that the affair was one of unadulter- nd submitted to the commit- its in his possession. He was greatly excited. Atter this he withdrew. The committee spent the entire time in ex- amiuing the evidence for the defence. From the testimony adduced they are in favor of Ackien, as the alleged crimes are too atrocious to be believed by any one. The papers belonging to Smith were not placed in the committee’s hands until just before the adjournment. They will be re- viewed to-morrow. The giri’s mother daughter of ex-Governor Baker, She is implicated fearfully. J. X18 the persoi Ackien to inter- view Smith in the visit which directly e:used his death. Additional facts have been brought to light. A MYSTERIOUS CHECK. During the xirl’s illness here a letzer bearing acheck for $00 arrived from New York en- closed in a letter signed by aclergyman. A relative of the girl wrote to the minister 10 as- certain his reason for sending the check. The reply was that he (the clergyman) had written no letter nor sent the money. Further inves- ligation revealed strong evidence that ACKLEN HAD SENT THE MONEY and had used the clergyman’s name and that he had sent the girl regular remittances since his departure for the north. The seduction took place in the fall of 1876. The child is now five months old. It is said that Acklen lived with the girl seven months ago. She was under sixteen when the alleged crime was perpetrated. The feeling in the communi y Is intense, and the finding of the committee is anxiously looked for. Acklen certatuly acts fairly and squarely in the matter, and has given absolute power to the committee. For the past three days Acklen has been visiting a colored woman named Smith on Common strect, at whose house the girl formerly lived. To-day he drove there with a notary and re- mained foran hour anda half. At the meet- ing of the committee to-day Smith’s paper will be received and an approximation to judge reached.

In the meantime, however, Colonel Wyndham, if not yet re: leased, must be in an unpleasant position, for his place of confinement is represented as ing a “filthy,” abominable hole, where criminals are confined ;” and he is indebted, it is said, tor his food to the kindness of one or two of ropean residents, one of whom is gentleman.

Styles that Require Women to be Beautiful, Tall and Young —The New Bonnets—Dressing of Girls, (Frow Our Own Correspondent.§ New York, Sep? 3). This is the golden age of fashion for women who are beautiful and tall and women who can display to advantage piciaresque “Gainsborough,” “Reynolds” and “ Beef- eater” hats, and the soft falling drapery of the clinging artistic costumes. How entirely de- lightful the world must be to-day for those wko have youth, freshness, taste and money. But alas, the conditions meet in so few; tifose who have money so seldom have beauty, or Possess these latter qualifications exhaust themselves in vain desire because meansare lacking. “THE BEEF-EATER.” The greatest novelty of the season, speak- ing ce te literally, is the English Beefeater hat, derived from the days of bluif and brutal King He the Eighth, who had a gaard calied the f-eaters, whose rubicund vis- ages were surmounted by large crowned broad-brimmed hats rolled up on the side and trimmed with many plumes, in the style of the Beef-eater of to-day, which isa reprodac- tien from the pletuires of the period. For fail and winter wear, black, grey and cream colored felt have replaced the straw and chip, which io this shape have been so fashionable in London during the past sum- The edges are often finished in button. with gold or silver cord, and a | Many as five magnificent ostrich plumes, two of them very long and full, are used in con. junction with sik galloons or ribbed satius lor the trimming. The long plumes lay one over the other, at the back of the crown, de- scending, one vyer the brim, to the shoulder. ‘The other three are mounted towards the top, as a Prince of Wales plume, partly covering a large bow, which is placed in the hollow formed by the curving of the feathers. Nothing can exceed the dash and e/an of this daring style upon those who can wear it. Tall, elegant women, for example, whose all black tollettes (if the hat is Ulack) will bear the closest seru- i Hardly less strik 2 ; ack silk, satin or v , and black Of course there is a difference in ind quantity of trimming; but, as there are no 1p imitations of these desigas | in their Y, and they ean hardly be r duced i Xpensive materials, as the effect is lost without the depth, which is obtained from the quality more than from the quantity of ornamentation. The * Reynolds” will undoubtedly be more popular than the “ Beef-eater,” for the reasoa that the former doves not require so much height or distinction in the wearer. The “Reynolds” is peculiarly becoming to og ch netics of a somewhat rosy complexion, w weil rounded figures, not short, but not ne: sarliy very tall. The brim of the “ Reynolds” droops more than that of the “ Beef eater,” though the crown is not so large. The edge is sometimes bound, sometimes fii ed with a band of k feathers, and a very becoming medification has feathers arranged in U rior of the brim, or the side where it is turned back from the face. The vendish” is smaller and more like ainsborough, with which we are well ac- y ted. It is in all shades of light velvet felt, and is always trimmed with satin ribbon, and ostrich plumes matching exactly the shade of the bonnet. : The massing of these exquisitely soft and beautiful feathers one over auother in irrezu- lar but most graceful fashion is one of the lea- tures of the autumn Styles. Anew ostrich feather can be distinguished at once by ditional size, breadth and fal- Bess, a3 well as the wonderful shadin: “THE AUTUMN BONNET.” are as small as the hats are y of them are merely quiint titute of brim or curtain, Others ped. and there is a pret t, Worn as a bonnet and th | fore fastened under the ehin, instead of under he back hair, which 6 | npositi have been made, a! sand areused p iy oglish walking hats, and other insects en. size, are made of the t kinds of feathers, oc the dierent parts of birds, skilfully put togethe: | heads and breasts of birds of all ki | enormous demand, espec have variegated phimage, which are parti: larly handsome or particularly ugly.

These, however, are eccentric styles. There are simple styles, the crowns of which are crossed at the back, with narrow bands of satin ribbon, and the decoration completed by bows, one of which will be pace on high, on the side of the high crown, like a lite chalet, tipped over the edge of Mont Blanc, another lower down, nearer the brim, and ostrich tips curved in between. There are styles in which ihe brim is still preserved, and one in which it is turned back from one side, in a piquant Way, which is especially adapted to a bright face with irregular features. The satin bows are quite a distinctive part of the bonnet. They are no longer two or four prim loops, with two ends. They are gro! | and arranged according to the position wi they occupy, and are relly works of taste, if | nor of art.” ‘The construction of the bo | indeed, one of the surest tests of the class t which the modern bonnet belongs. ‘The ali-red bonnets which have made t Ss covered, except the ba of appearance are noi, strange to s. her lou or very pronounced ; at least e which issue irom first-class hands. are coa- net to ruby red. The lighter si course, put very sparingly, and the distri- bution so perfect the ellect is really ad- mirable. An equal triumph is achieved in the combi- nation of several shades of gold, from old gold down to pate cream color. The materials are Satin and ostrich feathers, and the shadiag of both is so soft and exquisite that In masses the appearance is that of clotted cream. in speaking of shaded feathers, especially the finer kind of ostrich feathers, it must not be understood that the different shades are combined in one feather. On the contrary, each one has a fine, peculiar coloring of its one. It is in the lat use of these lovely ornaments, in grouping them together, or laying them one above another, that the effects of shading are obtained. The white day reception and visiting bonnet has been superceded in very fashionable circles by bonnets strict!y matching the costume. A. pale blue costume, for example, trimmed with striped blue and lemon-colored satin will be accompanied by 4, le blue bonnet trimmed with blue satin Tibbon, lemon color on the reversible side, and a lemon-colored ostrich tip among the blue feathers. Another recently worn was of heavy white silk and gold and garnet brocade mixed with black: sleeves of white net covered with a retwork of seed pearls arran: in diamond shape. The bonnet was of white silk also, the crown sur. revnded by a scarf of the brocade, and covered with a network of apie matching the sleeves, Which terminated in a small cape edged with fringe at the back. A small fring coronet of pearls also shaded the front, and at the side were three immense butterflies made of small feathers in colors matching the brocade. THE DRESSING OF GIRLS.

It has always been cut iomary among the very highest classe for girls to dress simply, but we hive a class of people in this country, sprung from humble conditions, who have become possessed of Wealth, and the overdressed young lady al- ways = to this class.
