DAME FASHIONS MANDATE, The Costumes Most Favored by the ; Beau-Monde, RICH AND COSTLY TRIMMINGS. Artistic Combinations . in Dress Goods and Colors, When women cease to oure about what they wear or how they puton their clothing the bead of tue use will bave to establish a kind of family pound, where discipline will restore the imprisoned to healtby sentiments. Dress has now become one of the fine arts, and it is comforting—xt least to women charged with too great devotion to dress—to observe the remarkable interest which the artists show in trained petticoats, ualf width draperies and the man- Agement of buckles, bows and other pretty trifles, The artist may be an artist, it is apparent; bute Woman’s a woman for a’ th nd wader ber fiogers bows and buckles always settle themselves asit by Predestination. The new order of the new season Concermmg princess dresses, it wili bo seon, will be afresh witnoss to this natural readin which characterizes women, The plain, almost severe @tyles, will still be scen in handsome wateriais, combining two or three fabrics, and it docs not necessarily include a trained skirt this and is frequently seen in the form of a walking dresa, Skirts have become iresh objecta of interest thia tall, and while the kilt-plaited design is still admired for a Variety of materials, ladies require another shape for fabrics which are too heavy after they are plaited. It ts plain to be seen that the new pelonaises are to ‘war against pri a8 dresses, Muny of the handsome Myles are go elaborate in design and trimming thas they constitute au entire costume and muke an ele- fant appearance, Loopings of precise kinda are favored for polonaises, but the piastrons rever:, mixtures of material and color, are scurcely to bo described. ‘The short dress has to a considerable extent re abiisbed itself in public favor, It has been largely used during the summer by young ladics for the hops at watering places, and somo of the very prettiest dresses seen at Long Branch, Saratoga and Newport wero of organdy, made short and trimmed with white lace and colored ribbons, Black silk toilets are as fashionably and popularly worn as ever; Dut instead of being combined with velvet thoy are now'worn stylishly trimmed or com- bined with satin or brocade. ‘The eonjunction of Jaille with satsn is almost universal in elegant recep- Mon dre and is by no means confined to black, but the two are usually of the same shade, as well as color, when such colors as blue or mauve are chosen, variation in color being observed only in the trim- ming. Velvet is more used in conjunction with wool tor street cestumes than with silk, aod for this pur- pose it is very uselulana stylish, Silk weurs away from the wool and has a flat, not at all elegant ap- pearance, used either as trimming or in combination. Bat veives of the same suade stands right out with fine effect, greatly enriching a woollen costume, and Mf of good trimming quality Jasts as long as the wool, NEW COMBINATIONS OF MATIRIALS. ~ Am important revival ts that of watered silk, which 4s used in combination with faille and satin and vel- vet Anew anv artistic style of ornamentation has been applied to 1t, which ts very effective, consisting Of gold embroidery outlining the water design. Gold floss, in conjunction with gold thread, 1s used for this Parpese, and a fine gold braid is also introduced, which assiste in bringing out the simple and fibrous characier of the designs.

CHARLES 8, MILLS’ ADDRESS BEYORE THE AMERICAN TEMPERANCE UN‘ON. The American Temporance Union mot yesterday afternoon in Tammany Hull, on Fourteenth street, to hear Mr. Charles 8. Mills, of this city, speak op the subject of temperance, After the opening authem, “Elevate the Temperance Banner,’’ reading from the Scriptures and prayer by Rev. John Koller, the Vice President, Mr. J. Burnett, in a few opening re- murks, introduced Charles 58. Mills, who bas lately returnea from the Western States. Mr, Milla bad been sitting iu the rear with his wite, u member of the “Celebraied Case”? troupe. Iutemperance, the lecturer said, stalks boldly through the land. Its beat definition is given by a well known bishop, who d, ‘‘Iniemperance is the voluntary exunction jon,”? The most unprejudiced of men will grant that the free use of liquors 1s most disastrous to our hopes and our business. The temperance cause has more friends than ever betore, In the West large numbers came forward and joined the societies, Everybody is now on tho side of the temperance cause except those who traffic in liquor, Next Tuesday evening, Octovor 1, the annual elec- tion of the suciety takes place atthe Seventh Street Mothodist Church, AMERICAN BLUE RIBBON. The American Biue Kibbon Temperance Union held their regular Sunday meeting at Irving Hall, Tho singing of bymns, reading a portion of Seripture, ond prayer murked, as usual, the opening ex- ercises of the meeting. Mr. Sawyer, who conuducis the Park Theatre temporance meetings every Sunday evonivg, came forward and spoke at considerable length on the evils of intemperance, He told tho story of his own sad experience and the degradation to which he was reduced, the many pleages he bad signed and broken, and how, at leagth, be threw bimse'f at the feet of the Lord, invoked His assist- ance, and was saved, Ho maintaivod that there is no other way by which poor, unfortunate man can be saved from intemperauce und wi ruin, He introduced three or four of his disciples to the meectiug, aod eaeb one told his story in language nov 80 strong as Sawyer’s, but marked by the same evi. dence of repentance aud sorrow for the pust and thankfuln to God fer the great biessings which they mow enjoy in their conversion to tem- perance aud sobriety. One young Englisu- man told a pathetic story of his career jo the old country and in America, He said he spent -ull hig money, was attacked by delerium tremens, and tinally was rescued by attending the Park Theatre temperance meetings, where be beard Brother Saw- yor speak and prs, He finally joined the organiza- Vion und was now a sober aud bappy man. Mrs. Coukiing stated t! thn amount collected at the door by the new meihed did not cover the ex. penses of the hall, ana wished the audience to sond up their contributions to make up the deficiency, Mr. Sawyer, in stentoriap voice, invited the young mento come forward and sign the pledge, but tew Tesponded to the invitation, A young mun who stood in the middle of the hail agked the privilege of spouking a few words, but bis remarks were so irrelevant that Mrs, Conkiing stopped him and wound up the proceedings of the meeting und the would-be speaker at the sume time, INUBRIETY BY INHERITANCE, Rev. Mr. Conway, superintendent of the New Jer- sey Asylum for Iuebriates, spoke in the Shiloh Pres- byterian Chureh, Sixth avenue, Jast evoning, on “Tho Hereditary Efiects of Drunkennese,’’? The text was Exodus, xx., 5:—'I, the Lord, thy God, am a joalous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the ebildren, unto the third and fourtn genera- tion of them that bate me.” However our human nature may revolt at this Jaw, ft stands upon God’s statute book, not as a dead letter, but to be executed with unvarying faith- fulness. The fact is undaentable that the sins of parents are visited upon thoir children, The Scrip- tures touch us tois, and they are corroborated by his- tory, and both those by tbe experience o! us all. Drunkeaness, of all sing, 1s moat clearly observable in posterity, ‘Toat it will appear in one form or an- other is certain, It may be in lunacy, idiocy, deaf. ness, dumbness, blindn insanity, melancholy or jome other meutal or physical obliquity. Meu who re drunkards and fathers, women who are, at the ame time, inebriates and mothers, incur a respon- sibility too appalling to contemplate. ‘They seom not to care whether their self-indulgence eutaily inde- scribuble woo upon their chiidreo. They act very mucn es if their sin, instead of being ed upon their offspring, died when they died and was buried in their grave But how sadly, awfally mistaken they ai How many a man to-day bebolds bia ebild maimed, po haps in both body and mind, by bis own folly!” The kroat number of idiots m our asylums, the terrible list ol the victims of molapcholy aud the mighty vost of Inebriaies show that our r-ce 1% cursed with wn enemy more disttuctive and dreadful tuan war or ‘amine, because more cndurtug. A SKELETON IN THH CLOSHE. There is, suid toe tocturer, hardly a family in our country that has not some sort of a whiskey skeleton tu its cioso. Every house tu our fiir lund is cursed With the consequences of drunkenvess, vither thos resulting from actual tnauigence or those whien come down from our ancestry by tue law of tahertt- ance, The ancients seemed to understand this sub- ject. Aristovie said that a draokew motner would Produce children like herself. Diogenes, 1a revuking & half witted youth, told him his lather must have be- gotten bim when he was drank, Plutarch told the Young men of bis time not to become fathers whea drank, “for they usually become wine viv and drunkards whoss fathers begot tuem when they were druok,” Tre jecturer made an eloquent nppoul ia be- hail of the conuren, and begged bis hearers to avoid ao indulgence which was #0 certain to leave most sertvus Consequences bo posterity, Mr. Conway throwghout fis lecture avoided violent language againet the dealers lu strong driuk, and tor the victims be urged the broadest und venderest charity. Ibe duty of the hour, he said, 1s to quickea tho public conscience, iniorm the mind, convince the judgment, and, above ail, to win men’s hearts to Goud, This 18 never done by rashuess and abuse. lie ge lever is love—iove of God and love of m Seli-indulgence in the parents blights, withers and maime posterity, and we have the w ance of (be distinguished Darwin that diseases arising from ivebricty are ijabie to become hereditary even to the fourth generation, sometimes resulting iu the exifuction of the jamuy.

Yours, respeetiatiy, AN ANGLO-AMERICAN, Loxpos, Sept. id, 1873, LITERATURE. POETRY AND PROS: Messrz. Houghton, Osgood & Ca have not disap- pointed the public in their jong promised volume of “British Poetry,” edited by James T. Fields and Edwin P. Whipple, The book is ali that was expected Of it, and in many particulars 13 the best selection of British poetry we have seen, It embracefa wide range of verse, from Chaucer to Swinburne, aud the selections arvin most instances exceedingly happy. The editors have been very carclul to exclude every thing which might not be read with profit as well as delight by the fireside, for the volume is inteuded as a “tamily library of Britisi poetPy.”” Thu ehrovo- logical arrangement has been sdopied, because that arrangement best enables tho reader to survey Eng- lish poetry in counection with English bistery, and that he may study the poetic expression of passion in the different periods, “A lover of the age of Chaucer, of Sponser, of shakespeare, of Carew, of Dryden, of Pope, of Tompson,” to quote trom the preface, “expresses what he valls bis ‘flame? in a very different way trom the lover who, in the nineteenth century, told the story of ‘Genevieve,’ or celebraied “Phe Phantom of Delight,? or drow the character of Huidee, or made u curiousiy intellectual generation turill to the deseription of such w simple maiden ag Maud, As to the otuer pas- sions, such us hatred, fevenge, envy, malignity, am- bition, avarice and the rest,-though trac to tuelr original roots in buman uaiure, they still aiter their expression, as they aller their objecis, with the gen- eral spirit predominating in auy purticulan ago.’? ‘The editors of this volume consider that from Cnau- cer to Wordsworth we have in English literature but five great original poots—namely, Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton aud Wordswortt, They have quoted over four hundred poets “writing under various conditions of birth, individuality, genius apd external circumstances who bave recorded their ex- pertences of life and nature, From tne loftiest fights of impassioned imagination to tho quaint play of wit and fancy on scores of trivial themes we feel assured that the readers of this book will ackuowleage tho comprebonsivoness of its plan and dud poems an- ering to every transient as well ag to every perma- Bent mood of their minds.” The editors have taken great pains to reach the most authentic sources of ibe poems seiected. ‘Thero is nothing thut gets so dis- torted in passing down from generation to generation as poetry. It is said, lor example, that ‘foe Burtal of Sir John Moore’ has never been correctly printed in the Untied Biates excopt in Cheever’s small volume of selections published nearly half a century ago, “Auid Robin Gray” was so altered, first by the au- thoross and afterward by collectors of songs, that even Palgrave seemed to have veeu ignorant of it as originally written. There ure two versions of Burna’ ‘“Bannockburn,’? the Poorer of which 1s the best known. ‘he from Robert Browning are such as the general public wiil like to read, and tneiade nis inimiable “Pied Piper of Hamelin’? and soul-stirring “Marching Aloug.”” There is only one selection from Wiliam Morris, and that not in his best veiw. Something trom the ‘Earthly Paradise” woujd have been moro chur. acteristic, Swinburne is quoted with an eye tothe Proprietics, aud sots Willtam Blake, ‘Ihe toot note: by the editors which appear scattered througa the volume are ;ungent and often amusing. ‘The family brary has bad no more valuable addition in years than this volume of “Britisn Pootry.”” THE LITTLE GOOD FoR NOFHING, Alphonse Daudet’s Little Geed for Nothing” is the Intest addition to Estes & Lavriat’s Cobweb Series of Fiction. 1t 18 sho least 1useresting of Daudet’s novels publisbed in this series. The Little Good for Nothing is such o weakling that one cares little for his joys or woes, The styie 1p which the book ts written is un- pleasant and tiresome. Tne hero is supposed tobe telling bis own story, but he writes, for example:— “The Little Good tor Nothing is scated in the chimiey corner. He is much excited and talks rapidly,” &c. The lite of the Littie Good tor Nothing does not absorb the reader untii he goes to Paris to live with hts brother, ‘hey have a room in the Latin Quurtier, The brother is secretary to a marquis; the Good for Nothing writes poetry which is published at his brother’s exponse. ‘The daughter of a china deuler falls in love with the poet, und he ia fascinated by a coquetto who lives in the same house with him. She makes bim run away with hor, and the two act in a suburban theatre, From this miserable life he is rescucd by bis brother Jacques, who dies alter accomplishing the good work. The Little Good tor Nothing marries (he cbina dealer's daughter and becomes bis partner in trade, while tho large edition of his poem i# used to pack awaya cargo of egg cups (or Madagascar, “Apploton’s Handy Voiumo Se: No. 15, now Out, contains two short stories from the Geran of Rudolph Lindag, the popular noveli The Grst, en- titled “Liquidated,’? is @ powerful and fascinating ketch which might easily have been spun out into » regulation size novel. The scene is laid in the Jittle known territory Of China, in the days of the Chan; mao rebellion, eighteen years ago, and the principal characters are two adventurous young Englishmen and a pretty American girl, with whom both friends fall in love. Nothiug more noble can be conceived than thg self-sucrificing spirit of each when he discov- ers the mate of the other’s affections. The bitter, cyn!- cal ending of tho story, however, leaves the average reader in doubt whethef he is upon the whole pleased or angry with theaathor, ‘fhe Seer,” us the other sketeh 1 called, 18 of a weird character and develups in a decply Interesting manner some episodes in the life of a man endowed with the real or fancied powor of gaging upon human faces and seeing them not as they exist, but as they aro to be at the decease of the Subjoct. Like the tale of “Gordoa Baldwin,’ already publisned by the same firm in another serio, tho Present volume has been translatea by the author's brother, Mr. Leopold Lindau, librarian of the Ameri Can Geograpbical Society iv this otty, Thoroughiy acquainted with the method and style of the German novelist, and a master of English diction, he has pro sorved in the translation all the torsenors and vigor of the original, and has rendered the diulogue into really idiomatic and colloquial English.
