high Life--A Golden Wedding.

The great social event of the day, the mar
rage Tor we should say, the alliance. since it
is to be conducted on royal scale of magni-
fcence,) between the Cubs millionaire, Senior
O., and the fair Americana, Miss B., is to be
celebrated on or about the middle of August !;
first In Grace Church, to conciliate the Protes-
tant prejudices Of the bride, and afterwards,
with impressive display, at one of the Roman
Catholic cathedrals. This golden wedding has
been postponed on account of the recent Sc
we're illness of the bridegroom, as well as to
await the arrival of one-hundred- thousand
dollar bridal present from Cuba, to be sent by
the gentleman's sister to her prospective sister
in-law. So brilliant part, with his sixty
years and his four millions Of dollars, has
been for more than year the end and aim Of
many Fifth avenue matrons on behalf of their
budding daughters, and Of many Fifth avenue
heiresses on their own behalf; but the ambt-
ious hopes Of these dowagers and bellies have
been sadly crushed by young lady outside
of their stsetn-portionless, perhaps, but rich
in her seventeen years, her Eugenie-like fea-
lures, and her tall, graceful figure, to say
nothing of virgin affections
The suspicious blending of these kindred
hearts dates from last New Years day when

Partisan Fashions--What the Empress
Is about to do.

As hoops once rot out Of fashion, they
will again GIL into disuse. The latest fashion
bulletin from Paris, which exhibits and des-
cribes the modes for July, announces two
facts. highly interesting to the female portion
Of society. The double skirt is to be discon-
tinued, in consequence Of the change Of mode
Just beginning, which only permits great
width to the lower part Of the dress, thereby
diminishing the proportion Of the upper
Perhaps" the reporter adds, this modifica-
ton may already be looked upon as sort OF
invasion on the triumphant crinoline." The
fact is, the Empress Eugene, who rules the
fashions in Paris had set her face very decid-
edly against the excess of crinolne, and, if
rumor be credited, intends having them wholly
abolished by the time the next season COM
mences. It is her manifestation against the
double-skirt which has already substituted
founces, of which three or four are to be
worn, but none above the knee.
Indeed, Eugene seems inclined to bring
back the female fashions of the early part Of
the first empire, when Josephene was the au-
tocrat Of dress, and restore the figure to its
natural shape. The impression in Paris,
where all things run into extremes, is that
even short waists will be revived. Think of
that, Master Brooke Think of ladies' waists
under their arms. Yet this was the fashion
worn in 1904, by Josephene the graceful, and
Madame Recamier, then the acknowledged
Queen of Beauty.
The short stumpy women will cling most
tenaciously, we predict, to extraordinary crino-
line, remarkable double skirts, mutilated foun-
ces and wonderfully long waist. They do not
know what best becomes them, and fancy
that because CERTAIN shape, style and quality
Of dress suits their neighbors, who happen to
be tail and graceful, this must also suit them
selves, who are only dumpy. If little ladies
could only comprehend how much crinoline
shortens and widens them, it would immediate
" be ahated. Meanwhile, if Eugene really
does abolish crinoline, or even abridge it. she
vii thereby vindicate her claim to be considered

says "Thirty founces are necessary on

ground. We saw lovely lady at Saratoga

Burying the Dead.

A letter from Solferino after the battle, des-
cribes the burial of the dead as follows =
"At one point by the side of the road ten
or fifteen peasant were burying the dead
They gathered them from the field upon hand
barrows from which they were rolled into the
hollow places on the roadside, from which
gravel had been taken to repair the track-and
after five or six, or as many as the space would
hold, had been tumbled in, foot or two of
dirt was shoveled over them. No attempt
was made to remove any of their clothing, or
to lay them side by side or in any particular
position. They were tumbled in just as it
happened, and were covered up just as they
CHANGED to fall In many cases they ere
laid lengthwise, in single file, and then cover

a third, fourth &c. In this way over two
hundred had been buried in single place

hoops and lifting up dresses
The hoops should be near together, say two
or three inches apart, and come to within as
many inches of the feet or the bottom of the
dress. A word about the management OF
dresses. In the first place, in going up stairs
you need only lift the front of your dress, and
in descending, the back of your skirts The
front part Of your dress can by no effort be
soiled in descending, nor the back part by as
cending pair of stairs Do therefore have

architecture of Greece. In this temple, and

were the difernt styles of architecture which
we find in Greece. That the architecture of
Greece was copied from Gods own design
