10 THE EUROPEAN FASHIONS, CenBdential for Ladies. Having already learned from the columns of the Henatp everything pertaining to American fashions for February, our fair readers may prob- ably now feel disposed to peruse the following fashionable jottings concerning their foreign cousins in Paris and London. Should they fail to Decome deeply interested in the subject relating to colors, cuts and styles it will be only because they are so far ahead of the grande dames and belles qpon the other side of the water in matters of taste and Greas that they cannot admire that whick is ment to them labelled “superb” or “beautiful” when they themselves could return the compliment by sending to Europe far hand- wemer, wique and more exquisite specimens of ‘Svery me ntionable article of wearing apparel and Which, without exaggeratign, they might endorse @s “‘swperlatively grand.” We publish the fol- fowing, chit-chat, not because of any extravagant ‘Or marvellous alterations in the modes since last mont),, but for the simple reason that the most infini‘iessimal change or the slightest tendency tows.rd anything new in the way of'shapes, collars, trim mings or material is regarded as important aod are always read with interest and avidity by sthe. ladies of our beau monde. "To begin with them we have have an intimation * ‘wet afluat in Paris by some malevolent evil minded ‘persons’ that, the fashion of painting the face, illeminating'the complexion and dyeing the‘hair, ‘was to be given up with that of the bell-shaped erfuoline. This would have been bad, andoubtedly, for lovers of art; but the report has been officially contradicted and pronounced “‘utterly false” by an authorized fashionable journal in: England. The journal in question professes ‘to believe that there is nothing more levely than ‘the harmonious touches of red, white, black or blue, by-which at the present moment the fine ladies im that part of the world are touched up, restored, beautified and rendered of copies of NEW YORK HERA, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1808—TRIPLE SHEET. a a ence ‘ortnis ends oar list, of nowelties is el our and brings our exhibition %o » this fashion, otherwise they: may appear a little | for the present close. 4 Walta—Now Stylee—Aa Oficinl Ball. Panzs, Jan. 24, 1868. ‘The second ball at the ies took place on Wednesday and was far more brilliant than the first, which, as I informed your readers in my last correspondence, was given om the 8th January, when four thousand invitations were issued. ‘Thir- teen hundred guests only ateended. The Empress’ toilet the night before last was very simple butunexcelled in elegance. She wore & white and straw colored tulle robe, the overskirt of which was trimmed with branches of white scacia. In her hair and on her shoulders and arms a magnificent set of diamonds and emeralds. On the ball of the Sth she was in yellow and white satin, covered with tulle, bespangled with gold. Her jewels were diamonds, and on her neck she wore one of the new gold orasaments, composed of from twenty to thirty rows of chains; at the back of ‘her chignon a rich cluster of gold grapes. The Emperor wore the uniform of lieutenant colonel on the 22d, and the hilt of his sword was studded with diamonds, He talked long with the Prince de Metternich. M.de Persigny was com- plimented on his literary production on the law of ‘the press, of which we shail hear more. The following are the names and toilets of some of the ladies whe were presented to the Emperor and Empress at the first ball of this season. I have selected frem the number those who were most tastefully attired. The reception of these guosts is a simple recognition of each by a bow as her name is pronounced by General Dix. ‘Mrs. Blake, in a white taffeta robe trimmed with black lace flounces. Mrs. Cauldwell, of New York, also in white, their former selyes—‘‘more fresh and charming | ‘covered with point d’Alengon of which the flounce than were their own youthful originals.” The foregoing, as a matter of course, applies only to those on the other side of the Atlantic (’). ‘There was considerable consternation in the fashionable circles.of Venice recently, caused by the careless indifference of the young wife of the Duke of Aesta, son of the King of Italy. The whole hubbub and commotion was just this:—She vwas actually seen on the Place St. Mark, when full fashion was assembled there to promenade, leaning on the arm of her husband with her dress slightly raised, which thereby displayed to the critical gaze ef the bon ton of Venice ‘‘a cheap and commonplace white petticoat.” The fashionable foreigners in the city at the time of this occurrence were dreadfully shocked and indignant, and expressed themselves as having but little hope of the future of a coun- try where a princess is so wanting in dignity as to wear an inexpensive garment. With the Vene- tians, however, the Prince and his bride appear to have made themselves wonderfully popular. There is no penying the fact that tastes differ. Balls, banquets, music, drama and fites of all kinds and sizes are now the rage from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. Short and comfortable dresses are discarded in.all the ballrooms, and in their atead the long skirts, with trails lengthened still ‘more, continue to discommode the dancers and subject their owners to such petty annoyances “as rips, dirt and tears. Low ak ibeecs are now cut much lower for evening wear, and to such an extent was this being carried on in Rome that the Holy Father, but very recently, was compelled to preach a crusade against it. What effect his words may have had upon the dark-eyed beauties of his flock deponent saith not. in Paris there are quite a number of eccentric people @ho sometimes do very curious things. As an example of this we learn from very reliable sources that the favorite amusement in that viva- cious capital at the present time consists in cutting the dresses and clo: of ladies while walking. Apropos of Paris we will just mention that the last dandy fashion there is to carry a walking stick with a sword at one end and matches and candle- stick at the other. Doubtless our masculine and feminine friends alike have enjoyed our theme up to this point, i ly the men; yet if these be- whiskered bipeds have not done so they can blame nobody but themselves, for they should not have dared to pry into secrets which did not concern them. However, having premised this much by way of prol and overture, we will now pro- ceed to exhibit the latest styles in the way of toilets, bonnets, paletots, &c., and which, we feel positive, will prove tenfold more interesting to the ladies than anything contained in the preced- ing paras phs. ep ¢ general tendency to the straight in the modes is beyond all question. There is also a correspond- ing tendency to the flat in all trimmings. The square formed style of trimmi is now brought lower down upon the front of the dress; while skirts have an effect of being cut away in a fashion at the front after some one of severai styles which are very novel. Flat bands, of the material of the dress, are worn about the neck, and generally connected with the sleeve by a chemisette. The: form an odd kind of girdle collar, and are much ad- mired. Short skirts are, if anything, a little shorter, and for as a trimming is much in’favor. The rage for gold trimming is as great as ever, and velvet spotted with gold, as well as velvet embroidered with colored silk, is in vogue for grande toilette. Cachemire, poplin and velveteen are much worn in the house. Bodices are worn just about the same as usual. Anything but a round bodice would look too much like our grandmothers to be tolerated Bowad ays. Dress bodices are now made so that the shoul- id to form sleeves, passing to traight cut to the breast and shoulders of the bodice combine to produce the Swiss-like effect after which it isnamed. This dress is quite as dévolletée as ever, but es of amore retired character, at the same time pre- ducing a depth and breadth of bosom without that extented © lect which was the least satisfactory result of the shape of evening dresses during the past season. There exists a sort of compromise between the short .dress the trained. In front the hem just saves itself from the ground; behind it touches the earth. This dress is jacket en suite with the robe, trimmed and cut in some harmonious way. Double kirte are not seen as much as heretofore, and ove irts are now rarely looped up. Hems of skirts are now very plain. The coat sleeve once more revails in full force, and hanging ves are riven into obscurity. The sleeve, as @ general thing, ie untrimmed; but it is permitted to apply gimp or buttons where any htue arrangement, such as alitting, is made with the cuff; # corre- Sponding trimming should be placed on the shoulder. Bonuets don’t grow any larger. They are just assmal! this winter as they were last summer. ‘This is probably owing to the fact that chignons are carried quite as large as ever and very high upon the head, and general), @ bendency to drift 4! the chignon, and this the increase. Mass tul lush are now mach used for bownets, and the smaliest ones are gmade with crown and curtain. Round turban hate, ia velvet, and trimmed with aigrette-sha) feathers, are much worn. A very pretty head ia now coming into use, composed of a velvet band, trimmed with a line of interlaced rings, alternately of gold and steel, one side of the band being com- pleted with a group of orchids. Falling plaques of metal are used at the edges. Jackets are invariably made square and straight, "ter the Russian fashion, buttoning down the left taide, with the edges trimmed with fur. Close jwckete ere trimmed over the seams with gimp ork. Walf-clone ‘ jetots in black velvet are worn, trim with narrow satin cut on the «woes, Long trained dresses, made with basquines, eo wort of pepiuoa drifting into the dress itself, are (mmed with feathers along the edge of the bas- ver, being cut equare and * manner, are also tru of ¢ urse, are equally eccentric, Having firat been formed presumably to keep out the cold, they a‘re now slashed up the ae of course, to let in the cold and to produce lumbago, Fashion is fashion, bowever, and her dictates siust be « eyed, even if her followers do get the Jumbage. In ‘oon ‘usion, we note the following fashion, which is pa ticularly interesting to ladies who are narrow ws the chest. It is # square bodice, cut wide over the bosom, and sloping at the sides rapidly towar: the neck, so that seen from be- hind the bodice appears to ve hone. If the chemisette be a‘ chequer, or an arrangement in witieh opright lin ¢s de not appear, the result will be to give that arti,“(cial width to the bosom which in reality has no ex\etenee. Ladies with broadly developed hasems ebwuld be very careful to avoid was headed with wavy grass and wreathed mar- ‘guerites; diamond ornaments. Mrs. Duncan, of New York, in a white satin robe, Chantilly tunic and a new fashioned bunchy scarlet velvet sash behind, scarlet velvet trim- mings on the corsage, diamonds in the hair and on the neck. Mrs. Lippincott, of Philadelphia, in white satin and tulle puffings, black lace flounces, a ponceau and white velvet sash. Miss Lippincott, in many tulle skirts over white taffeta, a tunic of white satin, white lilacs on the corsage and in the hair. Mrs. Bouligny, of Washington, in a mauve satin, with two flounces of point d’Alengon and diamond ornaments. Mrs. Fassett, of Chicago, in blue satin and pearl ornaments, : Miss Wilson, of Chicago, in tulle, with. silver over white silk. Miss Paine, of Boston, in a white tulle skirt over white silk, a yellow satin tunic and a bright green sash. This latter, as described, would ap- pear eccentric to the mind’s eye, but it was very beconiing and reminded one of the daffodil for its pretty freshness. f Among, the French presentations I record Mile. de Padone and Mile. Waleska, in lovely plain white. Both looked like oe lingering but for a time in the shimmer, from which it was a re- lief to turn away occcasionally and ‘look at the wearers of the light foamy tulle. Princess Mathilde wore white tulle also, but covered with multicolored roses, Princess de Metternich was in pink, with pink roses. Duchess Fernan Nunez was the wearer of a most conspicuous diamond tiara, of which the height could be measured by inches—the same that was so much admired at the Exposition. Duchess Malakoff was in yellow satin, and her hair was covered with gems. The wite of Marshal Bazaine was also in yellow satin, and wore a most remarkable aigrette of emeralds and diamonds. cess, Whose name I could not ascertaln, wore a most elaborate robe of puffed tulle over satin. The tunic was trimmed with silver blonde tipped with marabout, After the above enumeration of fine attire I must add a little fashion gossip for the satisfaction of readers who prefer news to the fashions. ie de Morny, the widow of Duke de Morny, has become a member of the Catholic Church, and is about *to enter in a matrimonial alliance with the richest grandee of Spain—the Duke de Sesto. Mile, Adelina Patti’s proposed union with the Marquis de Caux is irrevocably broken off. Lady Tempest Vane is the beauty of the on. “Biarritz et Compiegne”’ is the name of the new waltz composed by a young nobleman. It is un- der the patronage of the Empress, and was inau- ted by Strauss at the Hotel de Ville on Thurs- jay last. ‘Kaloug sand madrilenos are the names of the new bonbons for which Parisian ladies are havin, small oil silk pockets made under their skirts. { am told they are excessively nice. de Beust is fast recovering from having had his under jaw taken off and put on again; the operator being M. Nelaton, Garibaldi’s famous surgeon. ime. de Bacciochi, the Emperor's cousin, who broke her leg last week while getting into her car- riage, has also been attended by Mr. Nelaton. t. Petersburg has caused no surprise im Paris. None but an English public could have borne with so much paint aad cracked trebles so kindly and so long. M. Carvalho thrown up the management of the Theatre Lyrique, and divides the reut of the Italian Opera House with M. Bagier, who lets him have it on the three off nights when the Italians never play. ‘The first ball of the season at the Hotel de Ville took place on the evening of the 16th inst. It was attended by anumerous and brilliant company and in point of magnificence not iulerior to that on similar occasions in former years, An idea can be conveyed of the beauty of the floral decora- tions when { inform your renders that uo less than en thousand pink and white camelias faded in course of that night on the walls, chaudeliers d pillars of the Prefect’s salons. Alas! they were “ not born to blush wo: ” for a crowd of | notabilities circulated from bail to hall uuti! morn- ing. It is not uninteresting to know where al! the flowers came trom in the midst of winter and which are so profusely scattered about at official receptions. Sixty immense hothouses, situated at the Muette (Bois de Boulogne) and containing two million of plants, are kept at the expense of that inexhaustible fund belonging to that mysterious institution called the ‘ administration’ for the purpose of ornamental display on festive occa- sions. Thus it is, simple minded and kind, inquiring readers, that the fétes given by Burou and Uaron ess Haussman cannot be surpassed by either you or me, or any well intentioned party, who may like to do bn” in proper style when we invite our friends. cannot keep sixty hothouses, in which there are five hundred and_ seventy-three alm trees, and therefore when the Prefect and his dy welcome all Paris to spend an evening in their Blorious edifice they may well look contident that Ro one can outdo them at so little personal coat. The ‘‘administration” hassuch very deep pockets ! There is room for whole bushes of exotics; such aboals of truffies, such heaps of champagne, and sugar and water is really not distributed from the suid reserve in such diminutive hommopahthic doses as at private assemblies. Every elegance, the con- teats of every storehouse pss museum, the per- fewtion of every art are at the dis | of the Pre- fert. In one word, the city of Paris yields her wewlth and honors with lavish generosity, and a bali atthe Hotel de Ville of iMdiant, scintillating g e dan feet, © delicious, enraptured, whirling Willisdom; to the ‘stomach, Lucullian surfeit; to the head, in- toxica Ving dream | to senser, supreme dis- helief aed gue, war or any other of the go ines d of as existing in some parte of the world.

Tue DaRwrntan THEORY OF THE TRANSMUTATION ov Srgcigs, Examined by a Graduate of the University of Cambridge, London. James Nisbet & Co. 1867. ‘There is no fool so completely lost in the conceit of his own powers as the fool who fancies that he isa scientific scholar. Such # man is the author of this pompous ‘‘ Examination,” He exhibits on every page bus incapacity to grasp the ideas that Darwin’s argu- ment reate upon, and he goes through his three hundred pagea mever once touching the argument—barely brush. ing the outer lines and posta of Darwin’s posiuon—and frothing bimself away in sephomorical snarl at certain of the words and phrases of which Darwin from the very necessities of language makes use, Our graduate ig never so happy as when be can drag inte his small arena of verbal criticism some distinguished name. He thus marshals Flourens as his ally in battling against that terrible metaphor, ‘natural selection.” Elthor, says Flourens, this is nothing or it is nature personified—and nature personified camnot be admitted—for ‘‘the nine- teenth century has done with personifications,”” ‘Ibis ia saying that the nineteenth century has done with figures of speech; which is to say that it bas done with speech—for neither Flourens nor the graduate ever con- stituted ten sentences that did not involve ten figures, But we cite this only to show what pitiful efforis can be made against a great theory in science by people who understand neither science mor speech, This carping narrowness of objection 1s in some degree the peculiar. ity of the class that opposes Darwin, It will not permit the advocate of the development theory to use word or phrase whose heighth, depth and breadth of significance is not fixed with mathematical precision, and by this hitleness would arrest discussion at its very threshold; and it is noteworthy that this school, requiring rigorous demon- stration from all others, expects to have its own aystom received with the most magnificently uninquiring cro- dulity—in fact, on the authority of Moses and on what is called ‘commen sense.’ Common senso is a good thing in its place, but its appearance in seier recalls the old woman who was quite ready to believe that the anchor of her boy’s ship had caught in a golden wheel at the bottom of the Red Sea, for that, no doubt, was a wheel of one of Pharaoh’s old chariots; but she would by no means permit the same son to say that he had seen a fish that could fly. She was the firstopponent to the transmutation theory, and a fish that ecemed in the Temotest degree allied to a bird must not be believed in. No argument seems too poor for the graduate, and he thus illustrates Row assault may sometimes strengthen that at which he stnkes, He quotes Darwin against Darwin’s own theory—that is, he quotes earlier utt ances of Darwin that seem to commit bim against it. He also quotes the words of Lyell against this theory printed ia the years betore Lyell became convinced of its trash, Now, what is there in this? As Darwin must be supposed to have known his own previous thoughts, and Lyell also his, it follows that these great maturaliste were convinced with all these arguments in full view, and did not see in them the weight to coun. torvail the greater thought, The “Examination,” there. fore, merely hoids up to the world the fact tha two great naturalists were convinced of the truth of the Wansmutation theory despite the best points against it that are presented in this volume—argtinents that certainly lag superiliously on the stage whea tuer own authors have cast them ai as worthless. ‘There are otter ways besides 10 which the graduate’s objections are negatively good arguments im favor of tue theory, as when he quotes Dar. words, refusing to undersiand them, walle wno- ever will accept ‘ueir only possible import will see that they quite destroy tho point that is attempted to be made in quoting them. Again, this engineer is hoist by his own petard in the use he makes of phe tacts in relation to fecuudi.y. He shows that sterility rosuits as between distinc: species; but this is mothing, for that there should be fertuity between these is not necessary to the theory. No naturalist, least of all Mr. Darwin, ever supposed that form that we no: ognize as one distinct that we recogutze as another distinct epecies. 0 species tucre may orginally bave been thousands of gradations, aud in the short steps thus taken there is’ no loss of fertility. Hybrids are sterile with hybrids, but this is oniy nature’s require- ment that change suai not go forward too rapidiy. It may, indeed, be nature's barrier to proveat the loss of ground siready gained. Shorter sieps tham those be- tween distinct (orms are nut only possibie, as every breeder knows, but are also advantagevas, the graduate takes tbe strong staud for hig cage on the question of the honey bee, its tustimct and ite architecture, aud olds ‘that cortain creatures act in aceriain way tor their own benctit, not because tue sequence of events has brought them to act in tuat way, out because they have beeu brought into existence so to act and have no alternative bat to act as they du.” Here is a strange mixture, 1n which our author supposes that he 1s deny!

MUSICAL REVIEW. 4u is amusing and interesting to take up a heap of music, such as js published this season, and investigate the merits of the myriad composers who put forward their claims as contributors to the divine art, Here we have a waltz of Strauss prociivities, and the ambitious young man who attaches his name to it thinks that the theft will be undiscovered. Next comes an address to some chubby faced denizen of a cradle which would be sufficient to drive the mildest mannered baby crazy. Here we have some poor fellow who tries to unite Schumann, Wagner and Offenbach in a grand étude, and the consequence is that the fingers of the player are re- duced to the condition of the far famed Kilkenny cats d every law in masic is violated. Then there are sen- timental songs by the hundred, each of which is dedi- cated to some fair triend of the composer, who should look upon the dedication of such trash asa direct insult to her, How the accompaniment of some of these songs cag display such ignorance of the firet principles of musi¢ we are at a lossto know, But ag a general rule, the more worthless a picce of music is, asacomposition, the more beautifully it is engraved and illustrated, while good works are printed on vile paper and abound in mistakes caused by the printer. If Schubert or Schumann be no longer in this world and be unable to'read the proois of their works, which are republished here, the publisher, for the sake of art and his own reputation, ought to see to it, There are already signs of improvement shown by some of the publishers, and when two of the leading publishers have completed their arrangements for bringing out their publications this spring in a new form and with new materials, we may expect to see specimens of en- graving and iljustration which will compare favorably with the best in Europe, But @ nos Ditson & Co, publish the following:— “Cicily Waltz,” Jerome Hopkins, This isone of the best of the composer’s concert pieces. The epening theme is very brilliantly worked up, aud reminixcences of Gostschalk and schulboff abound in every part of the . Lbere is a very common and weak arpeggio part On page six, and the tnale 1s poor, “snow Nymph Polka,” Jerome Hopkins. There is even more of Gottschalk in this than in tue preceding piece, There are many glarmg mistakes, made proba- bly by the printer, which should have been corrected in the proofs. The ending of this piece is also very weak acd ineffective. ‘Ukraina Mazurka,’’ nocturne, J. De Zielinski. This is a genuine musical curiosity, which should have been sent as such to the Puris Exposition, The composer, probably aware of the impossibility of any ptantst being able to discover avy sense in a composition that boldly dviles all received notions in music, has written a very funny and characteristic explanation on the first page. He says that he wrote the piece originally in the key of B flat major, but it having lacked in life and exprestion, nal changes, into other keys, E minor, accord. ing to him, is submissive and affectionate; (: minor, persuasive and dreamy; F major, calm and serene, and E minor ia agam grand and wmysterious. With such a lucid introduction we plunge ito & most extraordinary jumble of passages such ag Wagner never dreamed of, and the impression on the mind of the player when he reaches the end hat the composer is a man of very original ideas, and bas a very original method of expressing them. We hardly tniuk, however, that such a composition will find favor with any musician whose intellect is unclouded aad for whom a straight jacket is not required. “Adolphus Morning-glory.”” D. Brabam, negro minstrel song, With banjo and bones in “Fall of the Leat Waltzes.’ Knight. If tl Strauss were substituted for, or at least associated with, that of Mr. Knight, we think it would be only simple Justice, “I will be Glad,” sacred quartet; Petri, Some good ideas in it, but many violatiuns of the laws of thorough “song of the Zephyr,’? morceau de salon; Jucho, A charming little stery for pupils and very cleverly and gracefully worked up. “Thee Only,” bailed; Farnie, A simple, attractive melody and one sure to become popular. “Lover's Confession;’ Krug.
