PARIS FAsHIoNs.-The latest French
bonnet is like Hudibras' story of the
bear and the fiddle-begun aid broke of
in the middle 1t is magnificent but
incomplete work like Buckles History
of Civilization, or like Don Juan. For
ornaments the run is upon steel. The
quantity of minute marine stores worn
by the fair ladies of France is astonish-
ing. After steel comes straw. The
ladies appear to have unplaited their old
straw bonnets and stuck them all over
their dresses. A mantle or Jacket tas-
selated with real straw in fantastic
devices is much patronized, and imita-
ton straw for fringe is becoming uni
versal. Finally, crinoline seems to be
really going out, and the robes a queue,
or long trains, are coming in. The lat
est and artfulest plan is to have a petit
coat of the same shape of the robe, brief
in front and elongated behind; and the
dress is Topped upi front to show the
boots, and, it is to be presumed, to pre-
vent the fair train-wearer tripping her
sell up every second pace or two-Sala.

Two young men on board the steam

Intense alarm, of course, ensued, but
the young fellows stood at the door, and
refused to allow even the officers OF the
boat to enter until the fluid was burned
out. Their theory was that if the door
was opened and water poured in, the
flames would not be extinguished, but
would be foated to other combustibe
material, at the risk of the destruction
of all. ..

SHRBIDAN's MoDEsTY,-lt appears that

sas, at the beginning of the war, and
among other thing tells the following:
Sheridan : modesty amounted TO bash
fNlness, especially in the presence of the
gentler sex. His life having been passed
on the frontier, among Indians or at some
solitary post, II was not Mt all surpris.
Ing that our Quartermaster should hes
itate when urged 10 go where ladies
might he expected. Ii by chance he
found himself in such a gathering, he
was sure To shrink into an obscure corn
er and keep silent. We remember an
amusing incident of his bashfulness.
He became attracted toward young
lady In Springfield, where he was en-
gagged IN forwarding supplies to the
army. DESTROYS Of showing her some
attention, he was altogether too modest
10 venture on such step. Finally he
hit upon an eXpedient. He had gay
young clerk, Eddy, in his office, whom
he induced TO take the young lady out
riding, while he [Sheridan) furnished
the carriage and horses. The modest
little Captain could often be seen look
ing with pleasure on this arrangement.
Counting by proxy seemed to please him
as much as if it had been done by him
self What the result was we never
learnt. We think it most probable Eddy
carried off the prize"
