A Partisan Revival.

The following description of French la
dy's reception" may furnish som. hints to
our ladies Of fashion, who, possibly, a, thew

trom Paris, will doubtles, Welcome this in
genious method of enhancing their oh arms.
Whatever our puritanical notions may effect,
it will probably be the private opinion of
many that nothing could be more del ightful
than these receptions
The " life of well known Partisan banker
has lately made an attempt to revive one O f
the fashions OF the seventeenth century, in
establishing boudior receptions of visitors,
the lady herself being in bed. Once week
therefore, Madame ", after going out in
the morning to make purchases, visit her in
Inmates. and take drive for her health. re-
turns home and goes to bed, for all the
world as if she had rot been up since last
night. Great care is taken ia the recumbent
toilet, in which lace plays profuss and i'm
portant part, the lady puts on the reouisit
air OF languor, and everything being pre-
pared, the Majordomo i, informed that Ma
dame is ready to receive
Taking advantage of the late fine wealth
er, MADAME has been out to Neuilly and pur-
chase profus, quantity Of flowers, which
are to garnish her pier tables. Upon return
ing from her drive, she lies down for a short
time-not here, but in another apartment.
really intended for privacy add repose. Be-
fore the hour OF reception she arises and
makes her official toilet, which consists pr;n.
cipaliy OF gauze. lace, and tender roscoe lor-
ed ribbons. in carefully arranged disorder
a laced kerchief mingled with her golden
locks. On the left side of the head is
small comb, cunningly fixed by the lady's
maid to be suddenly taken away at a certa in
moment, 80 as to permit q really fine mass of
hair to escape from confinement and fall in
rich profusion on Madame's shoulders. This
manosuvre IL Kept in reserve for the visits of
particular ladies', with the charitable inten-
ton of driving them distracted with envy
by the exhibition of natural gifts, which are
tolerably rare among Partisan women, who
possess evary charm, when in full dress, and
not much to speak of in the seclusion of pri.
vate life,if we except an immense deal of ait
and scarcely less wit. RI
Of course Madame wears no trinkets but
her finger rings and bracelet of plain gold
winch enclrcles her arm, and sets off its
whiteness to great advantage. Upon the
ped, within easy reach is pile OF newspa
pers, reviews, new novels in geeea covers,
and bags of sugar plumbs. In her hand she
nolds small mirror, which she used to dis
arrange and readjust her hair, in the midst
OF the horrible headache which she has'nt,
but which is the pretext of this horizontal
and oriental reception She has passed a
dreadful night She knows she sIooks
wretchedly." The visitors naturally hasten
to declare that, on the contrary she is ''per
tectly charming" Madame pretends not to
believe word of the compliments address
ed to her, but at the same time is thoroughly
convinced that thus bolstered and shaded,
she is irresistsbly delicious and bewitching.

saws: I'VE have rarely seen two better ilustra-

"The second Characteristic snecdote relates to

Fishing Anecdote.

Among the many celebrities of Washington,
Judge Bibb, lately deceased, was not the least
notable. He was a gentleman OF the Old
School, and retained knee. breeches and ancient
manners until the day of his death. he con-
stantly devoted himself to angling; 30 much so,
indeed, that he was regarded by our juvenile
fishermen as perfect walking (or boating) edi-
ton of lzaak Walton.
On fine spring morning, about two years
since, / started, in company with party OF
friends, for the Little Falls of the Potomac. We
were prospecting the chances of rock fish, bet
ter known 10 your latitude as striped bass 1t
was quite early in the season, but not too early
| for Judge Bibb. He had arrived long before US,
and sat upon ledge of rock, rod in hand-the
very picture of sentinel patience unreeved.-
Hailing him from a distance, asked, with the
natural instinct OF fisherman:
"What luck, Jndgea"
"Luck, cir : worst luck in the world, sir; been
fishing here for four hours, and havn't had nib.
blel"
"What bait are you using2"
'Oapital bait; live frog, sir2"
Iventured to suggest, mildly, that perhaps
live frog was not such very capital bait; where
upon the Judge burst forth:
"Don't tell me, sir you can't teach me any.
thing, cir Don't knowi Best bait in the
world, sir; Only the luck awful luck four hours
without nibble"
| By this time we had reached the Judges po-
sition; and while preparing our tackle Mr.. u
-, one of the party, observed frog sitting on
the bank, within few feet of the Judge. Said
he:
"Judge, let me catch fresh bait for you.
see frog on the bank close beside you"
'Thank you, sir; / wish you would catch that
frog, sir. It's been staring me in the lace all the
morning. / believe it knows that have one Of
its family on my hook. Hs! ha! ha Catch
it, sir; by all means catch it."
Mr.. D. shortened his rod, aud, cautiously
striking with the sharp end, pinned the frog
through one of its hinder legs. Just then as MIR
D. was lifting alott his prize, the Judge be-
gan winding up his reel, and uttered joyous
cry: ~
'Hold still, sir! keep quiet I've got bitel
Rapidly wound the reel, rapidly came in the
sackening line, till the last few yards OF it toat'
ed upon the surface of the stream and then
with a face that BODIED thunder, the Judge turn
ed to Mr.. D.:
'Why, sir, you've caught my frog!"
And so it was. The frog, with the Impulse
all amphibious animals when wounded, hat
made for the shore; and there it had crouched
for four hours, directly under the Judges nose
and holding his hook out OF water.
