THE FASHIONS. — QUR PARIS (FASHIONS) SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Paris, July 6, 1866, A picnie and the fashions, or would these two institu- tlons appear more compatible if put thus:—Te fashions ‘and a picnic. My opinion is that the idea conveyed by ‘this transposition of words is about the same, though I may differ herein from Moliére’s hero, who considered this speech: —" Vos teaus yeu me font muri d’amour,”” ‘Much less poetical than “D'amour vos beaux yeuz me font mourir.”” Blessod simplicity is not always enviable, but @ thougnt is @ thought, and the plainest way of express- ing it is the most forcible; therefore do I introduce a pie- nie and fashions in one breath. Ihave had, moreover, the pleasure of enjoying both on the same occasion, though whether the picnic was a genuine affair or not (for we had neither ham sandwiches, lobster salad nor ‘ggs boiled hard) is a matter of individual appreciation. There can arise no doubt about the fashions when I inform your readers that all the ladies had had toilets made for the occasion by the best “faiseuses.”” It would be erroneous to suppose that people cannot enjoy a Country excursion unless dressed in washed-out musling or other articles of clothing that “cannot get spoilt,” as the maternal saying goes. Now, I may be headstrong, bat I think there are very few enjoyable materials of the above description, for what cannot get spoilt must be ough, and look uly and heavy under asummer sky. I must, therofore, adviso all young peoplo who are in the habit of attending successive rural fétes to think leas of solidity than of tasteful arrangoment in the choice of their attire on these occasions, It looks as if they fully hoped to be drawn out ofa ditch, over a hedge, or rolled down a hill, which expectations are, to say the least, not “convenables.”” Linos, mohairs and alpacas offer quite resistance enough, and when they are made up nicely aro sufficiently irresistible, Nothing, however, an be more graceful and Indylike than the soft wave * of muslin, even though the texture may not be of the finest, Freshness is the most desirable object; mauve bine or black stripes, on white ground, are never very extravagant, and are fashionable with jackets to match, Should an ill-fated maiden, dressed in one of these, get Caught in a bush and have to pull hard to get out again, sho will certainly have it within her means to procure a needle aud thread to repair damages, if she is not able to buy a substitute for the victim of ber erratic habits, If 1 did not suppose your readers to have vivid imagi- Rations, [ would give them a sketch of the arrangements made bya friend, the Comtesse de S—, for the fete champatre in question. They should be told how all her guests were called for at their separate homes, and driven in ight open carriages to @ place of rendezvous; how they all took the rail & the Comte’s chateau, near Meudon, where ladics had betimes brushed the dew from tho downy lawn; how Jovely they looked in their gay attire; how pleasantly founded tho horn and horses’ bells when all set off for the woods, each differently mounted according to his or ber idea of comfortablolocomotion. Some on horseback, wome driving, some in chars-d-bancs, others on foot, with Sueir ranks broken by equestrians, on nothing grander than mock-looking donkeys, I refrain from these florid details, because happy people look about the same every- whore. French wittic'sias may be loss ponderous than ‘the elaborate Lons mols of people of other nations, but ‘the lattor productions a‘ford none the less pleasure to the originatora thereof. French woodland may be bright, bat doos not smell sweeter than that of other climes. ‘Tho gun shines for all, and birds warble in every spot between the two poles beiter than any; prima donna ever can. Nature wears verdant clothes, enlivened by more or leas gorgeous tints, all over the globe, and she is as woll droased at eighteen contaries and a few odd years over as she was before the Christian era. Not so nature’s children. They do not take after thoir mother, whe requires neither chignon, nor starch, nor wadding to appear boautifal, and who is thought by eoanoissours to be more lovely still when not draped at all, OC course a ladyfeannot give her private opinion on such a bare subject, still Ican say and do believe that now-a-days we should nono of us look well without a Mitle false hair, and that we are much improved by the addition of a fow other false articles not made by our mother natare’s own hands. Head-dresses were very varied at the picnic, the pret- tiest composed of a chignon of curls pat on high with a fewelled comb, and the front hair waved and crimped between bands. Another pretty chignon is made of three thick Grecian plaits hanging lengthwise and looped up underneath, while what the wearor has of ther own growth is curled in front and airily raised very high, with ringlots on the neck. There ff the hair bow chignon, which, I think, looks concise and prim; then the pain de munition, or soldier's loaf, which has the ‘shape of @ round raised batch cake, and the front hair is generally ¢ la Chinoise with this. It is very trying to the wearer, who must have that peculiar forehead and + Gast of features suited to this style, which is rathor eutré. The Marie Stuart bandeaux tn front and bag chig- gon behind, with or without a curl on one side, ts the simplest head-dress, Genorally speaking, ladies have now 8 fow scalps in reserve which are either frizzled, curled or plaited, and put on to suit every bonnet in their wardrobes, If this fashion continues hair will be laid in as stock and the possession of chignons held in such honor that mothers will have to add a few dozen to their daughter's dowrics. Bosnets will never be saved, for there is nothing to pat by in any of them. The shepherdess hat, trimmed with fruit and flowers, was a remarkable featuse at the Comtonse de 8.'s file. This and the Tador are the pret- tiest. Tho shopherdess, or Watteau, is made either of sealy-looking straw or tulle, and of both tulle and straw in one. A flower or bow are sometimes mounted just on the top, in rosettes of blonde. Pretty, speckled straws are in this shape. Tho Lambalic, or Gipey chapeau, are still great favor. ‘There is no novelty in the trimming of them since last. “Ine Ttalian catalane is not so much worn in the day- time a4 of an evening, unless with full dress, it boing so ptylish and elegant.

I heard these Richers in the Rue de Rivoli one night without being able to make out what on oarth they were doing, I say it’s an awful affair.” The elder sister was more perplexed than before, but tried to look calm indifterence. “Tn fact without Richer we should have no manure,’’ continued Leon, “nor’anything out of season, You see, ladies, the earth could not bring forth pineapples without him, and thereforo he is ever going and keeps up a peculiar excitement in summer.’’ ‘he subject would have become perfectly noisome, and perhaps have been followed by other going topics, had not a chansn @ boire sung in chorus, caused it to drop, One lady gave the new fashionable romance sung by Adelina Patti, words by Victor Hugo, music composed by Madame Wade Rothschild.

Dancing was kept up for some time, but towards dusk couples disappeared by degrees, no one knew whither, aad som how or othor when the musicians stopped they found they had Le i og the last mazurka for the bats and vagrant grasshoppers. A few waning figures were seon gliding away in the dis- tance, alaugh echoed here and there and every one’s day's work was over, THE MILITIA ENROLMENT. The Work Completed—How it was Conduct. ed—One Hundred Thousand Four Hundred Namen Enrolled—Who are Exempt and Other. wisc—The Law In Relation to Fines—Parades: of the Reserve Militia—No Cause for Alarm, &e, ke. Tho annual enrolment of citizens, provided for by the Militia law of the State of New York, was completed on Saturday last, and the books containing the names of all able bodied white citizens and persons of foreign birth, who may have declared, on oath, their intention to be- come citizens in pursuance of the laws, between the ages of eightoen and forty-five, were filed at the office of the County Clerk on that day. The map of the city was divided and subdivided into two hundred and fifty military distriets, and thus apportioned an equal number of books were placed in the hands of competent and re- Hable men, to act es canvassers for the company com- mandants of the respective districts. On the cover of each book was asmail map of the district to be can- ‘vassed, upon which at the conclusion of the day's work the enrolling officer designated the point at which ho left off, so that those under whose direction’ the qnrol- ment was placed could ascertain, if any doubt was en- tertained, the veracity of the canvasser's report. In this way it is fair to presume that the present enrolment has boon fairly executed, under the supervision of Colo- nol 8. R. Pine! , who has had tho experience of four years in the ent of such affairs. ‘The nates enrolled this year as lable to militia duty are ono hundred thousand four hundred in nutnber, ito a respectable hody of men in case of an unlook for omergency. Of this number it is falr to presume that twenty per cent will Alc their claims as exempta, WHO ARE SUBJECT TO MILITARY DUTY.

INTERNAL REVENUE. Returns for the Sixth District—Incomes of Twenty Thousand Dollars aud Upwards, &c. Below are the returns of incomes of $20,000 and over in the Sixth district, as given this year, compared with those returned in 1865. The revenue from incomes in this district for 1865 was about $2,500,000. That for 1866 is not so large, probably a little over $2,000,000, This shows a large decrease, owing to the dulness in business during the past yeat, comparatively with that of the year before: — 1865. 1966, Astor, W.

Near the end of our civit war Congroas passed a bill authorizing the advancement in rank of naval officers for gailant ond meritorious services, ‘This was to be effected through the recommondation of the Navy Department and by confirmation by the Senate. In March, 1865, all the admirals on the active list, except Dablgren (whose services on the coast of South Carolina were supposed important), are known to have been assembled in Wasl- ington os an advisory board for carrying out the provi- sions of this law. It is a matter of general belief that they discussed the question very satisfactorily to them. selves, and adjourned on sending in their report to the Departunont. They were reassembled last December, Admiral Dahlgren being theu a member, the supposed object being to enable him to recommend such officers as had served with diviinction wader bim, and the sup- posed object of delay on the part of the Navy Depart partment was to enable the claims of all officera to be relatively considered by the officers of bigh rank who bad commanded them. The Advisory Board then ad- jouroed. For reasons unknown to the public the whole tmatier was then put inn pigeon-hole aud doubly locked; so that the proceedings of thit board are a profound se: eret. The fact is apparent that either no officers were ad Assistant Rngineer, Jas. t Engineors, Honry Fisher, na agen, United States N: deemed sutficientiy —meritortow oni were there fore not recommended by the Hourd of Ad- | murals, or extroneous canes, having uo relation to tho officers or their vervices, have preveuted action, and the provisions of ‘the law remain nuexecuted.
