SKLLFUL SURGICAL 0PERATIoN-A PEBBLE
REMOVED FROM LITTLE GIRL's THRoAT.--
A little girl of L. Thompson, of Kaintone,
Chautauqua County, New York, few weeks
since, swallowed gravel-stone, of the size Of
a large bean, which lodged in one of the
branches of the bronchial trunk After few
days of irritation there it would be thrown or
coughed up into the larynx, and strangle her
till she became black in the face; then, as the
tension of the muscle relaxed, it would fall
back 10 the former place. She was taken to
Buffalo and physician made an incision in
the wind-pipe and removed the obstacle. The
child was put under the influence of chloro-
form, and laid on table. A cut was made
below the larynx, near the breast-bone, and
the blood spunged dry. AS the air entered
the hole violent coughing ensued, which
threw up the stone, She was turned on her
face, an instrument was introduced into the
passage, and the stone taken out.

snikissiy ofisInal dance. \, ne Im,,,I.,

PSI a Ban FATNE IYG rH
The Paris correspondent of the New
Orleans Pcdyuas thus speaks Of the late
grand imperial ball at the gay capital gi
The most interesting parts of the ball were
the groups Of dances. The first group which
appeared was the quadrille OF Elements,
danced by sixteen ladies, without gentlemen.
Air was represented by the Countess de
Morny, Princess de Metternich, the Countess
de Tchctjeska, and Miss Ross They were
dressed In white, with great deal Of very
light and delicate blue gauze and diamonds.
Water was represented by the Countess
Walewski the Countess de la Bedoyere, Nine
de Gretry and the Princess Chetwertinska.
They were attired as Undines--body Of fish
scales formed Of mother-of-pearl and silver,
trimmed with sea-weed; skirt short, made Of
sea-green colored gauSe; belt Of pearls; crown,
pearls and sea-weed, with shell of mother
ofpearl and gold on the forehead. Earth
was represented by the Countess de Persigny
the Countess Sililikof and two Polish ladies
whose names | have not heard. They were
dressed in stone-colored skirts, trimmed with
ivy, bordered below by earth-colored gauSe,
fringed with gold lattice work, adorned with
lunches of grass; tunic colored with all the
colors Of the earth's strata, trimmed with dia-
monds, rubies, emeralds, bordered by fringes
embroidered with ears ofwheat and fruit of
every variety; body and sleeves represent the
rugged bark ofa tree and branches the head
was adorned with mural crown and crown
of laurels.
Fire was represented by Nine de Pourtales
Mile Erazzu, Mile Ross and Russian lady.
They were dressed in flame-colored costumes.
a gold serpent with ruby head around the
waist as belt and on the head an immense
tongue of Gre made of diamonds and rubies.
They danced together, and presented, as you
may readily believe, charming sight as
they now mingled together in apparently in
extricable mazes, and now gracefully disen-
tangled themselves. The company was so
delighted with the spectacle they cried for it
again Just as they would have done had they
been ina theater. The Fairy Tales was the
next quadrille that made its appearance, en-
tering the ball room while the orchestra
played the noble march from Gounods Faust
It was preceded by Col. de Verdiere, one of
Gen. Fleury's aids, in clowns costume;
he came galloping in on very spirited horse
of pasteboard. Blue Beard, the Ogre, Jack
the Giant Killer, Cinderella, Little Red
Riding-hood, Fairies, and all of our other
dear friends Of childhood, came trooping in
behind him. After they danced (but they
did not make the deep impression made by
the Elements, having appeared several times
this winter,) came a quadrille called the
italian Comedy" and taken from a beauti-
ful book Published by Mons. Maurice Sand
last winter, entitled Mosques et Boufons, in
which he exhibits all the characters of the
italian comedy. These quadrilles began at
half-past nine, and ended at half-past twelve;
then the ball began.

The Very Latest Ladies, Paris Fashions

/
Journal of Commerce writes in his last letter:
Great care is bestowed by Partisan ladies
on the toilette (styled matinee which is
worn in the early morning, at the chatesux,
and particularly at the fashionable watering
| places, where the whole company assemble
| between six and eight o'clock, around the
various springs, to drink the water. These
robes are generally of nankeen jaconet quilt
ing and thin white muslin. When they are
made of mixed woolen tissue, black and
white, the jacket and sleeves are bordered
with green, deep blue, cherry or maroon silk.
Our fashionable hngere, Madame Petit has
produced very becoming pattern for matt
nees, in thin muslin. The skirt has one deep
founce with "a row of embroidery above the
founce; the jacket is Ia Zouave, embroid-
cred with open lace-work, scolloped and
edged with narrow Valenciennes lace. The
morning dress when of pique (quilting( has,
invariably this summer, long basquine
ornamented with berthe, or small cap,
which reaches TO the waist.
We have seen new style of pocket hand
kerchief. There is a deep colored hem cut
in festoons on the white cambria; above the
hem and following the ins and outs of the
patterns, there is an open-work chain.
The Cambria and Lama laces are the favor
ite trimmings for all mantles, shawls, bon
nets and spring toilettes. The Cambria lace
is not only much less expensive than the
Chantilly, but is also much more durable; it
is equally elegant in the designs, and is worn
by the most extravagant and fashionably-
dressed Partisan women. .......
Perfumery occupies an important place in
the appurtenances of the toilette. Musk and
amber as perfumes are now banished from
French salons and boudoirs, and our most
celebrated perfumer, Faguer has replaced
the discarded scents by delightful extracts of
the piolette de Pdrme and the Iris de Florence.
The only odors admitted on an aristocratic
handkerchief are violet, the Portugal and the
verveine. The more powerful odors are no
longer de bon gout.
