| Walking Dresses. Some Of the most fashion
able are mace Of rlousselne, either in white or
colored These mousselines de sole are in great
request, and are generally made up after the
| following fashion: The corsage demi-busque
and with faclngs falling back ceinture; the
! sleeves Ia russo, the skirt trimmed with two
broad volants, or deep founces.
! Evening or dinner dresses are principally
composed of the gros grain lilac, mauve, or
veIdant green, handsomely trimmed with two
tlounces Of magnificent broad black lace, put On
nearly plain, and Of u gothic kind Of pattern
The berthe worn over the corsage is Of the same
description Of lace, anG sufficiently deep to fall
a little below the waist, and Just over the from;
Of the arms.
Fale.ots. Several Of our frst-rate modistes
are commencing to bring forth this style of
overall dress; they are denominated the paleto;
d'ete, and are made entirely OF black and white
lace. We very much doubt there becoming
universal, being not only very expensive, but
mostly intended for carriage or afternoon dress
! .usste!e.s A very fancful looking one, and
one with which our nobfesse are much pleased
has Just appeared. composed of white crepe
Gllssant, upon pink satin. The ends Of this
mantelet are rounded at the bottom, the pele-
rlne tres ample, and over each arm Is a seam
by The aid Of which the ends are fulleG to the
top Of the waist, and their junction with the
peerlne produces kind of demi-naucle, the
whole OF the nlantelet being encircled with q
pink satin ribbon, fringed with pink, having IN
the centre very narrow white stripe, the pe!e-
rine being ornamented with three rows Of this
ribbon, rnche a la viele. Those intended for
promenade are made in shot and glace silks,
such as the following one rehets, blue and
pink, formed deep, and rounded al the back,
cot very slopIng over the top Of the shoulders,
descending down the iEent in long square ends,
and trimmed upon the back with three volants,
edged with fringe, terminating in point at
the bend of the arm; lsces are also much used
for the trimming Of these kind OF Inantelets.
they are generally pa, on as a klnd Of frlling
round the two capes or pelerines, and plain
upon the front part Of The ends; others are de-
corated with three rows of fringe, a Ia fon-
taqne, or with gau2e ribbons, forming round
plaits.
Caps. Nothing can equal the coquettish and
fashionable appearance Of the caps Of the pre-.
sent day pink and blue are the colors always
most in vogue, notwithstanding which, we see
them trimmed with ribbons of darker hue
such as deep blue, green, groselle and violet
some very distinguished looking ones we have
remarked decorated with trimmings Of velvet.
Morning dresses are commencing 10 be quite
recherche in their appearance. For instance,
nothing can he more elegant than dress COM
posed Of the tissus Memphis, decorated with
four aounces, the corsage having pretty facings
or revers turning back and ceinture; sleeves
la Ottomane, having under ones Of some
slight material. The tissu Memphis is now in
great favor, and is only made in light colors,
plain or IN stripes, plaids, CT senis de pos.-
II For home costumes bareges and tartalan mus
Inns are preferred, the former in pretty shaded
strips the blouse body and the skirt perfectly
simple; while those in pink tartalan are made
with the Greegn body, and the skirt orna-
mented with four broad folds. The sleeves
are generally made the same width at the top
as at the wrist, where they are fuled into a
;, band of sufficient width to allow OF trim
noing composed Of three rows of lace, pat on
so as to touch one another, and very slightly
fulled.
Fashionable colorS for the presen. month are
principally pink, blue tourterelle, white, every
shade of green, poussierre, lilacs, and grey
Mixed colors are still much in vogue; they are
generally Of the most opposite hues, such as 4
i, Nankin color, and red, pink, and green.
SHOOTING IN ARKANSAS. The Little Rock
Gazette, of the 18th inst, speaking Of the Hot
! Springs in that State, says:
1t seems that Mr.. Hale, who enter.alns ysi-
tors at the springs rented a room several
months ago TO Mr.. Reagan for specified
time, at the end of which it was to be given up.
When the time expired it was demanded, but
the LOGGER refused, saying that he had rented il
for longer time, feeling assured that, by the
slow process OF law, he could not be elected the
premises before the sickly season was over
Mr.. Hale was naturally enough enraged at this
and had been Chewing the cu6 of disappont-
menu for eight or ten days, when he heard
that Reagep had agreed to underlet the cabin
in dispute, to big Missouran who was So
journng at the Springs. Deeming this d good
chance to get possession of his own, in the
speediest way possible, he resolved, after Rea-
gan had moved his property, to make room for
the Mlssourian, to occupy it at once, and be-
fore any one else could fairly get installed
While doing this, he met with Reagan and the
Missourian. A rencontre ensued Reagan shot
Hale in the face with shotgun, one of the
shets taking effect just above the eye, and pro-
ducing serious wound. A son of Mr.. Hale,
seeing his father fired upon, rushed out with
double barrelled gun and fred at Reagan, tear
ing one ofhis hands very badly; whereupon the
Missourian drew forth brace of pistols and u
bowie knife and was handing them to Reagan,
when the young man Immediately discharged
the other barrel at the Mlssourian, hitting him
in the shoulder Just above the breast. He then
started after his rifle, but stop was put to fur
Their violence by the interference of others.
At the last accounts, MIR. Hale had become
delrious and his life was dispaired OF. The Mis-
souran had received dreadful wound, which
would likely destroy the use of his arm for life,
if no worse; and Reagan's hand was SO shatter-
ed, that he will have to lose several of his fin
gers, if not his entire hand
