One of the most horrible of Cd anil

10 wears, were burned to such an extent
as to cause the death of the latter WITH

q sheet of fame darted from be stove

the burning liquid scattering over the
room and over the clothing OF the I'M
fortunate girl. Her screams brought
Mrs. Huntington from the next room,
who, seeing her in flames, grasped pau
of water in order 10 aid her, but in pass
ing by the stove she slipped and fell into
a pool OF the burning fiuid, which
speedily enveloped her clothes in flames
Both then rushed out doors frantic
with pain, endeaVoripg TO put out the
flames by rolling on the ground. Mr.

The cap, says an English paper, was
made of green cloth, but was almost
covered with gold lace; there was harp
Of gold in the front, aud the sides were
ornamented with gold buttons. The
tunic was of fine green cloth, richly
braided in front; the collar was Orna-
mented with gold lace and harp. The
trousers were of green cloth, and had
stripe of braid. To complete the
suit, there was a green satin
waistccat with gold buttons, each
of which bore a harp. The last
named garment, it was facetiously re-
marked, was an undress one, and was
no doubt intended to be donned by its
owner at the levees which the would

The TFHUAETEPEC RAILROAD. The
project of the Transit Company for the
construction OF railroad and telegraph
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec is
attracting more general attention here
than any other commercial enterprise
of the day, the route by the isthmus
from New York to our Pacific coast
being represented shorter by nearly
fifteen hundred miles than by way of
Panama, and that if the Fernandina
road across Florida be adopted as a
part of the route, the distance saved
will be nearly two thousand miles,
The liberals have been throughout in
undisputed possession OF the State
of Tehuantepec. The Transit Com
pany have an order from President
Juarez to the local authorities to ex-
tend all facilities for the immediate
commencement and prosecution Of the
work, and will proceed forthwith to
build the road. Its friends confidently
expect that in less than two years the
route will be opened and thronged
with the commerce of the world. -

Chj,dren's Fete In Paris.

The ball season has ready been bril-
liantly inaugurated by Miss Alice Nor
ton, a charming young demoiselle OF
three summers, all counted. Upon the
occasion OF her entry upon her fourth
year, on Monday last, this young lady,
assisted by Col. and Mrs, Norton, her
papa and mamma, who reside at the
Grand hotel, gave charming fete to all
the American Children beg their par
don-young ladies and gentlemen in
Paris. A number of young ladies of
more mature years, also assisted Miss
Norton in the reception of her guests,
who, invited from - M. to L. NJ,
were ali assembled at a little after one
o'clock. The elegant first floor dancing
saloon of the Grand hotel tower the
reading-room) was elegantly decorated
with United States flags for the Apply
occasion. The curtains were closed,
and the gas chandeliers blazed with
light, that the illusion of an evening
ball, without its disadvantages. might
be procured to the young guests. Miss
Norton performed her part of hostess
to perfection. The dear little child
running forward and receiving the
guests on their arrival without the least
affection, and yet with the greatest
grace. Dancing began with spirit from
the very outset, and was only interrupt
ed by an equally pleasing occupation,
the partskiDg OF an elegant collation.,
set out very handsomely on tables at
one end OF the hall, screened off from
the dancing part. At q given signal
ssosal the taej or eluruo, Mice Norton had
the pleasure of receiving a number of
her friends much Younger than herself,
the youngest "yOung lady" being Mile.
Claire de la REVERE, aged eight months,
daughter of the Baroness de la REVERE,
formerly Miss Blunt. of MObile,) who
seemed to enjoy the party quite as
much as her olders. Mile. Claire's dress
was of white silk covered with Illusion
and trimmed with cherry ribbons. But
l must not omit to give the details of
the toilettee of the queen of the fes-
tival, Miss Norton. She wore blne
silk under dress covered with tulle and
trimmed with garlands of white lilacs
interspersed with rosebuds. There was
great variety in the dresses of the young
people, this being privilege IN Paris.
Miss Bessie Bancroft, of Boston, wore
the handsomest dress in the room, com
posed OF Indian muslin under-skirts,
with tunic composed of Valenciennes
insertion, delicate lilac ribbons, and
pulled muslin. The Misses Gibbs were
suitably dressed in white alpaca with
blue trimmings The other young peo-
pie present, whose names can recall
at the moment, were Miss Kendall. of
Boston; Miss Christmas, Master and
Miss Macaulay, of Mississippi; the Miss
Amy Raymond, New York; Misses
Finch, of Chicago; the Misses Potter,
Miss Derby, Misses Greenleaf, New
York; Misses Haggin, Miss Van
Schenck.
The young ladies' who aided Mrs.
Norton were the Misses Sims, Alabama;
Miss McCauley, Miss Hitchcock, of Cal
iforDia; Miss Yates, Utica, and Miss
Schenck, Now York. This little party
was so great a success that its fame
found It's way into the French papers.
