4 a OUR FASHIONARLE WATERING PLACES. EASTERN LONG ISLAND. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. “* Institutions” of The cemUncle Pew Fish Oil Face Orievr, L. 1, July 19, 1867. Some nine years ago your correspondent, desirous of obtaining rest from the arduous and unceasing labors which an atiaché of @ morning newspaper bas to under- go, was induced to seek it in the quict village of Orient, Bituatet near Greenport, and, having experienced so mmuch physical benefit from his sojourn at that time, I thave continued to pay an annual vistt to the place ever since. A lengthy communication then appeared in the iuxaco descriptuve of tho bealthfulness of this part of the island and the unsurpassed facilities which the Pe- conic Bay afforded tor fishing and sailing, while some of Bho “institutions” of this village were noted, Among (tho objects of interest mentioned in that episile were the maniac’s hut on the beach (which has since disappeared,) and the ancient burying ground on (the hill, together with a pen and ink sketch of acen- ‘tonarian, who termivated a long Iie of activity and usefulness about two years eince Mr, Augustus Griflin \@he gentloman alluded to) was tn some respects a re- farkablo man. Posse@ing a good share of intellectual ability rendered available by culture, and being idenii- Med with tho settlement o: Long Island, he was well qnalitied to impart vatuable historical information re- apecting the settiers of the island. Le was iudueed to ‘peblish « volume on tins subject, which bas bad an ex- tensive circulation én all paris of this island, Mr, Grifim has entertained mo for hours with interesting reminiscences, and not onty of the settlers but of the Rritish troops in this locality anterior and subsequent to the revolutionary peri-d, Although in his ninety-ninth year when be died, bo was almost as active a pedestrian as your correspondent; and an early riser might see him up avd perambulating the village before any of its InbLabitants Were roused trom their clumbers, ‘There is a peculiar institution here whose history is futeresting, “Uncle Peter’ is known to every one in ths region, be ng the only person of African blood who permanently resides on this part of the island, It ap. pears that his mother was the servant of a wealthy New ‘Yorker, whose name he claims to bear; that his sister ‘was ono of the finest cooks in the country, who by her genius and exper ence in the culinary art succeeded in Baring suilcient mouey to purchase a house bere, which for many yoara was the abode of beracif and Peter. When she died ho was ‘suaded to go to New York, where by some meavs or er he lost bis fortune, and returned to Orieut with $300, He constructod a hut ata cost of $25, aud for years he, has lived upon the anterest of bis money the proceeds of little jobs performed for the villagers. He is now very old and iniirm, but to the credit of the inhabitants let it be wtatod tunt Uncle Peter is treated asa “brother beloved,” moving among (hem ev ry day, bis countenance beam- fog with goodness and piety, Miss Anna Dickinson, who is stopping at the Point Hotel, in this vicinity, rode into the village this morning on horseback. A well known citizen endeavored to secure her services to lecture in aid of the funds of the Monument Association, but was informed by her that eho had made arrangemouts to leave on the following morning. One of Miss Dickins@n’s orations is entitled “The Rejected Stone,” in which she argues that the negro suould be the corner stone of the reconstructed republic, If the fair lecturer bad remained with us, your correspondent, knowing the sentiments of some ‘of the inhabitants, would nave benevolentiy suggested asthe topic of her discourse, “Uncle Peter, or an Ac- cepted Stone,"’ of the viliage at least, for il is question- abio whether those citizens who obstinately believe that tho democratic party still iiv would permit Uncle Poter or his bretiren to have anything to may in the sulution of the problem of national recon- ction. Another “institution”? of tue villnge weekly temperance meeting, which has heid for the last quarier’ of a cen- tary without intermission, It bas been “run”? by @ Weil-knowa and rospecied resident, whose imind, how. ever, is so radically constructed that, in his estimation, the touching, tasting and even handiing of epiritmous Devorages is the uapardonable sin. Lt is boasted that there has not been a glass of rum sold in the village for the iast twenty yours; but as nothing escapes the peue- tration of my Argus-cyed friend, he has, no doubt, ace carately computed the exact quantity of the circum scribed Squid smuggled into the place, and whenever he imparts (his desirablo information to your correspond. ent, he will embody it in a subsequent communication. Another institution of the place is its fishermen—a healthy and intelligent set of men, many of whom ha lived, moved and had their being among the finny tribe from infancy ap to tho allotied period of human exist- ence. From an extensive acquaintance with them I am led to the conclusion thas there is a remarkable atlinity between them and the inhabitants of the finny ceep. There is obly one public boarding house bere—the Bay House—which is a very comfortable establishment, ‘There are, howover, a number of large hotels in Green- ee bat the fact ia, in releronce to ali the public ouses OD the cast ond of the isiand, that the managers of them have not the enterprise and knowledge of their Dusiness to make their establishments attractive to guests and in the end remunerative to themselves, Tho most extensive and successful hotel keeper im the coun- try remarked to a friend of miue, on passing throu ‘this part of the island, a suort timo ago, that if he bad three millions of dollars to spend in extending his Dnsiness he would invest it in this region, fully con- vinced that Le would make two millions in two of three years by building villas, making tige drives and keeping acouple of monster hotels, ‘The means ot communt- cation from the city with the east end of tho island are ample. Visitors can either go by railor by boat, It is a delightful sail from New York to Sue Harbor, and the Doat now running is the swiltest aud most commodious ‘one that bas been ou this lige for many years, There are a dozen of faciories in this vicinity in which Jarge quantities of oil is manulactured from a specios of shad called “bunkers,” which is used in ropen and for common painting. The odor wafted to lage from these establishments, when the wind is ina certain di is not quite so fragrant as some of the lar essouces’; t unreasonable to suppose that 4 ight succeed in covery of del bones of the skilfal pertumer jonishing the world with the d fracrant qualities hidden in the au JERSEY HIGHLANDS.

Panis, July 5, 1867. It is related of Crates, the Theban, that boing a man Of great wealth, and desirous to go to Athons tostudy Philosophy, he sold ali he bad lest his riches should divert him and call him home; and having got all his money together he threw it into the sea, saying, “Get you gone to the bottom of the ocean; I will drown you now lest you should one day do the same by me.” This opening to my Paris fashions correspondence of this week must take all your gentle readers by surprise; and though they are so very lamb-like, such thoughts as the following may ariso:—‘Whoever would be such an idiot as this Crates? What must he have looked like? A pity he did not live im am age of photography,” The fact 1s, I cannot apologize for the philosopher's conduct, I never do take their part, but I omly suppose he had an idea of his own—an antique (dea, Paris, now modern Athons, isthe new school for learn- ing, and our sciences no longer end.in ‘4ea;’’ they are of @ more complicate nature, and cannot bé resumed by s short termination; everything that hangs on is or wavy ; our prefixes are costly, interminable fixings, and our appendix is chignea, Polyglot denominations in- vade our vernaoular, and to be wise is to imitate Crates by drowning superfluous matter. Our fashions are not the only things that are getting the better of us; we are very mach overflowed by sovereigns and princes; s0 much so that one is perpetually laboring under a ner- vous fear lest the man whose eye gots almost poked out with the extreme end of one's parasol should prove ao sneogmito emperor, punished in the act of enorgotic staring. Some of the things that ought to swim are the Prussian monster cannon, of which overy one has heard enough; the English lighthouse; not asign to goby. Another throw, which is a fing at no one, snould immerse all the priestesses of Mabille, who since the Sultan's arrival have sacrificed their former gods and are thickly gathering in hopes of an unlimited harvest of Eastera diamonds. All (hese subjects must in this letter go down for the sake of practical information. Tho only detail I can give in reference to the Sultan is that he looks apa- thetic, wears a red fez, « plain-cloth uniform, with em broidered collar and cuffs, His retinue, or rather the members who compose it, are much covered with gold and sliver; all wear diamonds ad infinitum, It was a glorious sight for Parisians on the day of the distribution of prizes to behold all these mitigated Turks in the gala court equipages which are usually in the imperial coach houses at Versailles. So much gold bad not been displayed to their delighted gaze before, The wheels were gilt, the coachmen and valets looked like storling metal—appearances are so deceptive; the glitter of swords, epasleties, belmets, spurs, hilta, breastplates, and the burnisbed trappings of the finest horsea literally @ashed almost painfully in the bright July sun, But the grandest sight was the interior of the Palais de I'Industric, especially near and in front of the throne. That is where all the aristocracy of fashion had taken place. The Empress was in white as usual, all diamonds, pearis and haze; the princesses were nearly ali in white also; very few wore anything darker than the tinted, dolicate shades of pale salmon, pale crystal green, pale azure, pale toa-rose pink; they all wore low dresses and laco drapery. The head-dressas were lovely, the hair being raised and encircled with cordons of gems, Diadems were much advanced on the forchead, aad jewelied combs stood erect behind. Curis, flowing on the neck and shoulders, and down onthe waist are the tavoriie siyle of the day. The wives of the high dignitaries not near the throne, SE stemmed somes rab ssre este i ‘A green taffeta, trimmed with English point-lace which is shaded ; it is the richest novelty; white embroidery is also shaded with white grays on cambric and musiio, The Grand-Duchess Marie, of Russia, wore,one of these shaded lace tunics at a wedding last week. Another splendid toilet, is that of Madame de Morny’s; a white watered silk and lace peplum, draped on the shoulders, with ® diamond star, which 1s the Order of Saint Catharine, on a blue ribbon bow, with streainers. wore @ mauve poult, trimmed with embroidery.

The faces of our ¢légantes are whitened, rouged or dyed with chicory, which is the new mania, To be olive color, when it is out of nature to be hkea wax doil, is con- sidered a beauty. Nearly ali the queens of the demi-monde give them- selves the rich tint of Southern tan. Anotner new idea is to deck horses and coachmen with flowers. Some adopt violets, and as they drive by quite per.ume the air. Others prefer white roses. ‘There may be no more harm in flowers on horses’ ears thau ribbons.

And by every incoming train by both railway lines from the huadred gated city of Manhattan island, the rein- forcerents of gallants, and the arnval of dainty parcels of merchandise, and the flourishing business of “the bouquet man,” and the general buzz and bustie around the settlement, promised a crowded house. But be- tween eight and nine o’clock a squally Mr, Easter, which bad been filuting around the horizon all day in broken doses, came down from the Hook like a regular equinoctial, which was equal to Je‘ferson’s embargo against ali the other houses scattered for miles along these extensive green and lovel plains of “the Branch."’ In such a night nothing but the presence of some lion with a long mane, or some lioness with all the world in her train would have brought out the beauties from the other hotels, “just fora hop.’ As it war, however, When at half-past ten, we entered the brilliantly illuminated dining room, sixty feet by one hundred and twenty, and twenty feet high, cleared for the dance, we found some four or five hundred per- sons present, and balf the number **going through the motions" of alively quadrte. The music was fromm Gilmore's Beaton band, and the selections and execu- tom, as an enthusiastic young damsel expressed it, “wera perfecily splendid, Thore were tew distinguished public characters present in epauiettes or gold lace; few living statesmen or piayed-out politicians; but the black-couted division of the house, for all that, presented a good front of substance, culture and refinement. There were few feminine ‘celebrities present familiar to newspaperdom, but many beautiful. women who needed neither coronets nor diamonds, nor the siar and garter of the blue stocking to heighten their attractions. Thero were no extravagantly magnificent costumes among them; but without an exception they were tastefully equipped from top to toe, excepting those hornd chigvons, always a disfiguration, and those dust- gathering trains, always in the way, White was the predomiuant color among “the dear creatures,” and biack, that stupid law of the Medes and Persians tn this {asbion-ruled republic, being universal among the men, the contrast, aftor all. ‘preseated a very agreeable admix- turo of whiies and blacks.

MowrrmaL, Quebec, July 15, 1867, ‘This heading is somewhat paradoxical and exceedingly mixed. Still you sce what confoderation has brought us into, It has confused other thiogs besides our geograph- cal nomenclature, Political matters are decidedly stagnant. The wire- pulling for tbe central cabinet being ever, there is very little noise about the locals, Our heads are turned so completely with governors at $60,000, lieutenant govern- nors at $20,000 and privy councillors at $10,000 for their highly rospectable, not to aay easy berths, that we take little interest in local cabinets of six hitherto un- heard of celebrities at $2,500 a year. Aftor all this en- thasiastio doubling of salaries and trebling of offices, Canada wilt be apt to suffer with political and Qnancial “hot coppers,’ which all the Seltzorgof retrenchment will have coneidorable difficulty in overcoming.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDEMCE OF THE HERALD. Commencement Week—The Baccalaureate= The Anniversary of the Scientific School cio ad Clerum, and New Hovey, July 18, 1967. The exercises of commencement week at Yale have this evening been brought to a viose, and army of . ambitious young bachelors have left this venerable seat Of learning, anxious to distinguish themselves. in the various watke of life, One more opportunity has beea allowed the sons of Yale to moet again in these old familiar places, to renew old acquaintances anc to rejoice together at the flourishing siate of their Alma Mater. The number, however, who have this year participate tm these ceremonies, it has been remarked, is perespti- biy smaller thea om former occasions. This may be owing to the superior attractions furnishea by the varied fostivities of presentation week, so lately passed, and the fact that commencement day was appointed two weeks carlierin the month than usual, notice of the change probably not having reached some of the more distant (aithful ones, The weasher during the week pre- vious to this afternoon has been all that could be wished for—cool and pleasant, The first public ceremony was the baccalaureate ser- ‘mon, or farewell address to the graduating class, preach- ed im the chapel on Sunday efternoon by President Wooiscy. The discourse was from the passage in Eze- ‘Woel, eighth chapter and twelfth verse, ‘For they say the. Lord seeth us net; the Lord has forsaken the earth.” It was full of friendly counsel and advice to these young men, faithfully warning them. against the errors of the various schools of philosophical skepti- cism, whose contests with revealed religion have so long agitated Germany, spreading thence into England, and Bow Its insidious teachings are appearing in our own country, disguised in (he popular literatare of the day. On Monday afternoon occurred the anniversary exer- elses of the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College, with the following programme:— 1.

These theses were all fine produc. tions, evincing great accuracy and a thorough knowledge of the various subjects treated. The last two were par- ticularly excellent, Mr. Rice's being noticeable for the clearness of thought, beauty of expression, and the natural and graceful manner in which it was delivered, While allowing the validity of all the arguments in favor of the Darwinian theory, his overwhelming objections were so ably put forth that the evidence for distinct creation seemed incontrovertible. At the clone of these exercises the audience were in- vited to partake of a handsome collation, and after doing fall justice to this festive digression the company reas- sembied in the main hall and listened to an interesting and able address by Professor 0, 4.
