The tendency of newspaper reporters TO
exsggerate he's put in circulation several
reports of recent attempts to MAIN Gsnersl
Grant 1T violently shaking his hand at
public receptions. 1t has heen Asserled that
a., 4, - us,ea done at New York and Bos-
ton. Now it is very improbable that any
conspiracy exists, as these scribblers would
have us believe, for so petty sn object as
giving General Grant a sprsined whist; or
that any one would be fool hardy enough
70 attempt repeatedly 70 carry out such
purpose in the midst of patriotic throngs.
It is much more likely that some over-en-
thusisstic and perhaps drunken fellow, pos
sessed of one of those TREMENDOUS grip S
from which We have all suffered, has IN
Aicted it, with the utmost innocence of Pur-
nose but with no less telling effect upon
the tortured digits of the General. From
this, the fruitful imagination of newspaper
scribblers has wrought up an attempt to
Hmsim'' Grant.
Cur attention is called TO this by third

CHANGE IN THE FAsH1oxs.-A Paris
correspondent of the London ,Z4sder gives
notice Of some curious, aid, as he says,
radical changes in ladies' dress, in the most
fashionable circles Of the centre of fashion.
Her descriptions will be. sure to interest
many of our lady readers. Size writes: :,
In ladies' evening toilets it is impossible
not to perceive a decided tendency toward
radical change This change, df reform,
is as yet confined to the very elite OF
fashionable society, but, by we'll known
and invariable law, will doubtless extend in
another season OF two to al! classes that
pretend to dress, and not merely to be.
clothed. At Compiegue this winter, one
might have fancied ones self at The Court
OF the Empress Josephine, so closo was
the imitation to the fashion of the first
Empress. Crinolines were discarded, the
skirts being narrow, almost tight; the
waists very short, cutin the shape Of heart
in front, and supported by broad waistbands
with fancy clasps; the materials were worn
dotted with gold stars aud bees; tbe hair
much raised behind, arsistca!!y disposed in 3
mass Of tiny ringlets> upon the forehead, and
encircled bya diadem of massive gold OF
precious stones. Rich necklaces, extremely
long earrings, and gloves coming fax over
the wrist completed the illusion of arerurn
to the taste Of Malmaison.

FooD FOR WEAK SroMAcHs.; In the
Memoirs Of Count Segur, vol. l, page l6e,
there is the following anecdote: My mother
(the Countess de Scgur) being asked by
voltaire respecting her health, told hin,
that the most painful fHsseling she Lad =::==
from the decay of her stomach and the
difficulty Of finding any kind of aliment
that it could bear. Voltaire, by way Of
consolation, assured-her that he was once
for nearly q year in the same state, and
believed to be incurable, but that, neverthe~
less, very simple remedy had restored
him. It consisted in tak,.g no other
nourishmert than yolks Of egg, beaten up
with the flour. of potatoes and water.
Thong b this circumstance took place as far
back as fifty years ago, and respected so
extraordinary a parsonage as Voltaire, it
is astonishing how little it is known, and
how rarely the remedy has been practiced.
Its efficacy, however, in case ofdsbility, can
not be questioned, and the following is the
mode of preparing this valuable article Of
food, as recommended by Sir John Sinclair:
Receipt-Beat up an egg in bowl, and then
add six table-spoonfuls Of cold water, mix
ing the whole we'll together; then add two
tablespoonful of the farira Of potatoes, to
be mixed thoroughly with the liquor in the
bowl. Thea pour in as much boiling water
as will convert the whole into jelly, and
mix it we'll. 1t may be taken either alone, or
with the addition of little nilk.and moist
or best sugar, not only for breakfast, but
in cases of great stomachic debility, or in
consumptive disorders, at the other meals.
1 he dish is light. easily digested, extremely
wholesome and nourishipg. Bread OF biscuit
may he taken with it as the stom;t., gets
stronger.
