terviews with our distinguished exile,
John c. Breckenridge He represents
him as in fine health and condition.
While living somewhat retired aud in
plain style, he is regarded with high con-
sideration by eminent Europeans aud

great student, and is enriehiHg his capa.

learning. When he returns home, as he
assuredly will without a stain upon his
homer, he will come with a ripened
craftsmanship and will show his perse-
cutors and enemies that he is a patriot
whose true love Of country cannot be
overcome by ISLANDERS, indictments or
osiracism. God help a country when

Fashions for the Coming Winter.

II
Ere the summer is over Fashion has
already decided what shall be worn next
winter A correspondent in Paris has
had an early and privileged peep be-
hind the scenes of the few frst.class
French modiSteS, and comes to the
following conclusion in regard to the
future styles:
Among the novelties | remarked pale.
tots and muffs made entirely OF astrakan,
and decorated with embroidery in the
oriental style. This embroidery con.
sists of red worsted braid and gold
soutdche, forming arabesques, and is
placed in straight bands down the pale.
tot and around the sleeve, each ara.
besuue terminating with a red and gold
tassel Astrakan pdletotS are likewise
trimmed with gimp, in which jet beads
are largely introduced Mutfs trimmed
with two bands of this handsome gimp
which is ornamented, at regular inter
walls, with long cut jet drops, and com
pleted with two tassels, have an
extremely handsome effect These gimp
bands are arranged across the muf, and
in this respect differ from the bands Of
fur
Velvet muffs are bordered with fur at
both ends, and, in many instances, small
heads of the ermine or sable are added
as decorations When only two bands
of fur are used, there are two heads-one
at each side of the muf'; but when there
are three bands, single head is fastened
to the center one.
Muffs made of cloth, and embroid-
cred, attracted my attention. They are
in excellent taste, and very suitable to
be worn with costumes made OF cloth, so
popular last winter in the Faubourg ST
German. They are Of blue cloth,
braided with black SOutdche, and bor-
dered with bands OF otter, also black
cloth braided with black and edged with
squirrel, forming exceedingly pretty
muffs.
Another variety consists Of scarlet vel
vet cloth, embroidered in gold and deco
rated either with ermine or white fox;
but these are fancy mutis which will Ind
but few purchasers and copyista
The dresses trimmed with fur are ex-
quisite. One was evidently made from
the model Of the robe the Empress we're
at the last opening Of The chambers. The
material is white satin, and three bands
Of Russian sables tails are arranged at
the bottom Of the front breadth Of the
skirt A single band commences at each
side Of the waist and descends the skirt,

Marriage of Hindoo Girl to an Idol.

The following curious account of the
marriage of Hindoo girl to an idol is
given by the Dude Gazette:
Some time since paper OF the north.
western provinces announced the arrival
of an old Deccan Brahmin, with his fam
lily, in the town of Muthra, where Run
gacharee, the high priest of the Raman-
oojee sect, greatly patrouized him. The
old Brahmin has two daughters, one a
grown up girl, and the other only nine
years old. While residing at Muthra,
the younger girl gave out that Krishuajee
lone of the incarnations of Veshnu, the
Hindoo god, appeared to her in dream,
and proposed nuptial alliance with her.
Next dayahe girl was with great pomp
married to an idol worshipped in a Hin
doc temple. The ignorant and super
stitious people rejoiced at this absurd
marriage, and began to venerate the girl
as an inspired being. Both the girls
have learned by heart eighteen thousand
couplets of the Bhagwaut," work in
the Sanscrit language. They have now
arrived in this city, and put up at house
in the vicinity of the "Gole Durwaza."
Every morning Hindoos of all ages and
sexes congregate there to hear the melo-
dious recitations Of the two girls. Both
the girls consider themselves dedicated
TO the service of the god Krishna; and
after their daily recitations are con-
cluded they make no hesitation in ac-
cepting such presents of money and
sweetmeats as their hearers may choose
to give them. We have little doubt that
they have already reaped a rich harvest
from their deluded votaries

Sal Letter from Horsohel v. Johnson.

Elk Gov. johnson writes to political
friend in Michigan:
"The future darkness is scarcely re-
lieved by ray Of hope. And it seems
that we have not reached the lowest
deep of our woe. The ruling powers
seem bent upon our still greater humili-
alton. The theme is one on which it is
too painful todwell Reason seems to
have surrendered the scepter of states
manship to blind and vindictive passion.
What is to be the result, God only knows,
and He only can rescue the country
from the worst fate that ever fell upon a
once free, prosperous, and happy peo.
pie. Perhaps you may be, in some de-
gree, interested in what is personal to
myself AS you perhaps know, | resist
ed secession as long as it was an open
question. But when my State resolved
upon it, cast my lot with the fortunes
OF my people, feeling confident that we
should reap the whirlwind. l have
not been disappointed; and, though l
never cherished an emotion of hos
tility to the Constitution, or the
Union of our forefathers under
lt-tnOuEn nave spent quarter vi ii
century in trying to uphold both-yet
now l find myself, at the end of such a
career, disfranchised and assigned to a
position, in respect to my political and
civil rights, inferior to that of my former
slaves. My home is in the track of
Sherman's march His army destroyed
nearly everything | possessed, including
my private papers and title deeds, and
reduced me from comfort to poverty. If
| we're young, and could be let alone, |
might rally from my prostration but at
my time of life, in view of present sur
roundings and the darkness that covers
the future, / scarcely hope to be able to
feed and elothe my family. ! say these
things in no spirit of unmanly repining
Poverty is misfortune; but | would
welcome it, if, by the sacrifice, could
bring back the liberties of my country
and the glories of the old Union. But

notice was made of amethyst velvet !;
the skirt is cut out around the edge in
deep vandykes, aud worn over an ame-
thyst silk pettcoat, the yandykes broi-
dered with narrow band of dark otter.
The paleto u takes the form Of mantelet
with square ends, but is not trimmed
with fur at the back, A band Of otter is
laid on 10 simulate a large collar with
long ends, and thus has the effect Of
victorne. A small toquet composed
entirely of otter, accompanied this
toilette, which is called skating cos
tune"
| also remarked specimens Of toquets
made entirely Of astrakan, grebe and
ermine, with single jet dgrGte at the
left side But bonnets in the tdnchon
form, and made also entirely of fur,
we're even newer than those toquets,
Those composed of grebe, and tied with
blue velvet strings, are exceedingly
pretty.
Chinchilla and sable are to be the pop.
ular furs during the forthcoming winter,
so / hear on good authority. There are
a great many dresses trimmed with chin
chila at the Exhibition, and the most
elegant, in my opinion, is Empress blue
velvet. The skirt is bordered with chin
chilla, and the reUers on the pdletot are
likewise of chinchila, very simple, but
extremely effective.
The courre- -pieds, OIL Afghan quilts,
made partly of satin and partly of fur,
deserve likewise'to be noticed. Imagine
lozengers of sky.blue satin, embroidered
with either black or white silk, and sep
arated from each other by bands of grebe;
likewise scarlet lozengers worked with
gold and divided by otter bands These
squares are made separately, framed in
fur, and stitched together afterward.
