The new waterworks building in Chicago
are nearly finished. The Republican SAYS the
new tower. LIS feet in height, is entirely fin.
lshed so far as the stone work is concerned
and the pipe for the water column will be
placed in it before the expiration of the coming
week. A stone building having an entrance
on each of its four sides, will close the lower
part OF the tower, and when the spires which
mounting the entrances are put in position, the
whole will form beautiful structure, having
stroug resem blance to a splendid monument
lighthouse will surmount the whole so
that the new works will, beside increasing the
capacity OF the board to furnish water TO the
city, act as beacon to the mariner.
The main building is few feet In the rear of
the tower, and when flushed will contain all
the engines, boilers, Offices and sleeping rooms
OF the engineers OF the works. new engine
has just been erected whose capacity is to pump
600 gallons Of water every twenty-four
hours. 1t will be In readiness to begin its
work by the time the pipe in the new tower is
erected. Connections have been made with ali
the boilers, three in number, SO tnat in case
one needs repairing the work of pumping need
not stop; and in case one engine gives out the
other three can be brought into reQuisitiop
without delay. The south wing OF the main
building will be completed before spring
though il Is expected that its use will not even
then be required. The ground Immediately

FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER
TE'rom LIE FolIat.l

According to the great preparations being
made In the Paris houses, II appears that the
coming winter season will abouno in novel
ties. Many new patterns for the make of
bodies have been shown by the modistes. Sat.
ished as they are that the goTed skirts will be
still preferred, they think that the bodies might
still be rendered little more varied and grace.
ful. They are making them open in front, in
Louis XIV" style, full back and front, cut
square or in points, corselets la Princesse,
&c But one thing Of which We can speak
more decidedly is, that they will be more
trimmed than they have been lately. As for
sleeves, we find the wide, open make is grad
ually reappearing.
The long dress also, If not made of broche
material. is much trimmed, and we see that
short costumes are rather more elaborately or
namented than formerly. Thus, FREQUENTLY
the upper skirt will be trimmed with a let
fringe, headed with an embroidery of let the
under skirt merely having an embroidery
without fringe For simpler costume-the ma.
terial being alapaca, mohair. &c.-both skirts
are usually Just finished Off by a pltsse of The
same, or perhaps loZenges of taffetas, match
ing the color of the dress. These lozenges
made in satin on taffetas dress, are very
pretty. Black taffetas robes are still yery
much trimmed round the bottom with an EN-.
broidery of Jet beads.
Short costumes of striped velvet are very
distingue. These, of course, are quite without
trimming, the upper skirt being draped with
large buttons or silk cord and tassels.
The Marie Antoinette f1chu is universally
admired-indeed, just now 1t may be called
quite the thing" 1t is made in all kinds of
lace. (b!ack and white,) muslin, net, of the
same material as the dress worn, and also of
black tafetas pIettily trimmed, and has been
worn both as outdoor and in door dress For
the former, Of course the season is now too far
advanced. but 1t seems as much liked as ever
and Will retain its place as in. door cost tume
Lace Is extremely fashionable, both wooden
and silk
Wide ribbons have become so indispensable
that they claim special notice in an article on
Ia mode. Tout lie mode wear them-ladies,
girls. and little boys. They are made of an
immense width: seme for ladies' wear are
nearly half yard, those for children a quar-
ter OF yard wide; not to mention the Italian
scarf, which is still wider, but is made Of an
extremely soft silk, in several shaded colors,
and is merely looped together without q bow
1t is ute an art to tie the bows of these rib
bon sashes, as the form is Of more Importance
than one might suppose They m ust no longer
be tied in two nat bows as formerly; there
must be four-two upper bows like wings and
little boys wear them under their vests or
paletots. However, it is not only for sashes
that ribbon is required we have 1t used ia the
