EASTERN SAGACIrY.-The Sultan of Wadai
Gaudeh, pretending to fly, had marched round
In the rear of the Forisn army, and inter.
possd between them and their country. They
believed, however, that he was utterly routed
and loudly expressed their joy. One vizier
rem aimed sileat, and on being asked by his
master why be did not share in the general
joy, replied that he did not believe in this
easy victory, and offered to prove th at the en-
emy's army was even then marching towards
them.
Z" How wilt thou do this !' said the saltan.
Bring me she camel, /" replied the viIier.
" with man who knows how TO milku'
The camel was brought and well washed
ard the milk was drawn into a clean bowl,
and placed, with a man to guard it, on the top
OF the sultan's tent. Next morning the yizier
caused the bowl 10 be brought to him. and
found the milk quite black So he went 10
the sultan and said
Master, they are coming down upon Us,
and have marched all night -
Il" How dOst thou know that1'
Look at this blaskened milk"
" a what way has il become black?v
. The dust raised by the feet Of the horses
has been carried by the windn'
Some Laughed at this explanation. but others
believed it, and looked out anxiously toward
the west. In short time the names of the
hostile cavalry were seen shaking ia the east
ern horizon. Then followed the battle in
which the Forian Sultan was slain.

Paris Fashions for November.

Ihe novelties Of the approaching saason are
now TO DC seen in the windows of the leading
isshlonable shops of Paris Commencing with
tEe materials that appear generally sought
being always in fashion, plain velvet of every
Saade, and which for dark ones is covered with
olaok lace. Lighter colors are trimmed with
Nhlte lace, English or eR pOfntd Alescon.-
Next come les reloNrs epingles, especiallv
destined Tor ball drt sSes, which were last wear
worn with hOunces for the skirt This kind
OF velvet Is seldom made but of light collars
tgr oalI dresses. We have next, for soireos,
the ref0urS Imperial and the ueEouys mousse.
Les ns0ireS aztiqUeS Of plain aud sober shades
are also much worn. II is a material much

Is also much sought after, and will be very
much worn for walking dresses. The Scotch
kind, and the large squares formed Of two
co'ors, are much in favor
Of collars the variety is innumerable; and,
although the fashion has adopted very largs
ones, we do not think them in good taste, and
they are not, generally speaking, much worn
For sleeves the variety is still greater. We
mention few of the shapes most generally
adopted. Cireassian sleeves, with two or
three rows of lace or embroidery, and slightly
pressed by an entire deN1, midway between
the elbow and wrist, 50 as t. let the trimmings

made OF muslin, remarkably simple with Moth

Plain velvet will again be used for bonnets.
1t has been laid aside for several years past
for Le retohr epiRgLe, but it will resume the
lead this season.
Feathers also will be much used for winter
ornSments; but instead Of little tufts as FORM
cry, long feathers will be worn 10 border the
