PARIS, Dec. 20, 1867.
The only nice ball Of this week was given by tho
Mayor Of the Eleventh circle. or arro0disDment.
Here Nine. de D*** was remarked, moo only for
her lovely shoulders and rich toilet Of BLACK vel

and, as the least acute of Parisenneo present OBJ
served. an article that produced a great sem ga
ton. Whether biushng will become as comma n.
the season advances as it is rare now, must 'e
uncertain; but happy those who can and 4 .
blush while it is new in the fashions.
The walking costumes may result in the sams
requirement If worn on the boulevards in broad
daylight. They are narrow and spanned aprons
in 'front.' with the behind, over short
aounced silk underskirt. The said aprons ere
open on the sides and rounded am told they
show off the figure to perfection, which is thing
that no one can deny; but these, no more. than
bathing costumes, dripping with water, can be
called supreme elegance.
l wish could find figure of speech expressive
of the great aversion l experience for the new
fashionable receptaces it has become stylish to
offer refreshments in at whist and dancing sorees.
The sugar and water of preceding years was

called gloria" is positively noxous to tho
whole physical system, and the feelings excited by
such 'glores" cuttngly sarcastic to ones moral
faculties besides. Not only the contents but the
recipients thereof are dimnutve that they
mind one of homeopathic doses, which are known
to poison humanity pleasantly.
There is a novelty in dress which Is called
"mask veil." 1t is, / must say, an accessory which
does not much tend to the establishment Of
ladies to the peace Of society, insomuch that il
conceals ugliness and gives the aged all the sem.
bance OF youth, as long as it is kept down. 1t
produces the effect Of the well known velvet loup
worn with domino. The pattern leaves q space
free OF flower design for two sparkling eyes
dcrneath. All the rest is richly and thickly
marked.
There is no new pending article from the waist
since my last. Fashion is racing from store TO
store for bronZes, china and New Year knick-
knacks. All the small are preparing presents and
bribes for the great, and in this of univer
sal presentation am thinking Of what would bo
acceptable from me to my sovereign Queen. Tho
thing most courted in her circle is the Pope's
blessing; but what would she do with it, am
sure few lessons in the art Of counting up would
be useful, but her memory is bad. All the hair
she is in want of, and that she has not got Is too
unpoetc. shall perhaps settle on the new blush.
and in my next tell you what decree she will die

prosperously attained her lS6Sth year.

NAPLES, Jan. 4, 1863
The eruption Of Mount Vesuvius, which was
described some few days since as becoming
still more intensely grand, is just now quite
alarming.
The whole Of the volcano is in violent &C
don, and fame issues not only from the old
crater and many new openings to the air, but
at continues to blaze after its election.
A slight subsistence of the volcanic motion
had taken place. and on Monday, the 9th Of
December, the mountain remained almost
Quiescent, Its sides being covered to a great
extent with snow. A heavy colored smoke
ISSUED from what the sauans term the "smoke
holes" old and new
Tuesday night, December 10. the eruption
was resumed with great force, and mass of
lava, resembling solid rock, was shot from
fhe crater to great height, and, as seen from
this city, rolled down the sides of the great
cone after falling.
A loud roar, es if of artillery, was heard
during the entire night.
The mountain was yelled in darkness long
efter the hour Of daybreak next morning.
As the forenoon advanced a strong wind
sprung up from the north and dispelled the
gloom, and Vesuvius has been witnessed in
its fiery daily grandeur since.
To-day perfect river of fire is seen to flow
from the mountain, running in westerly d.
srection.
The fiery food is nearing the town of Ger
Gala.
The upheaving Of the volcano are attended
with shocks resembling those Of an earthquake
and loud detonations, as if battery of heavy
guns in full play, are heard.
A perfect panic prevails among the inhab-
dtants of all the villages situated in the neigh
borhood of the foot of the mountain.

The Chivalry OF Etiquette.

To introduce persons who are unknown
to each other, is to undertake serious
responsibility, and always involves the
Endorsement to each of the responsibility
of the other. This responsibility should
never be undertaken without first ascer
tanning whether it will be acceptable to
both parties to become acquainted. AL
ways introduce the gentleman to the lady
never the contrary. This rule is to be
observed everywhere, socially, or other
wise. The chivalry of etiquette assumes
that the lady is invariably the superior by
right of her sex, and that the gentle
man is honored by being presented
Where the sexes are the same, present the
younger to the elder, the unmarried to the
married, or the inferior in social rank or
talent to the superior. A gentleman should
never be introduced to lady without first
asking permission.
Middletown transcript., 1868-05-02
Crop Prospects and Prices.

The New York World gives report of
the crops, made up from exchanges which
represent every region and nearly every
State of the Union. On the whole, the
future of the farmer is bright. The black
frost has destroyed tie fruit in parts of
Southern Illinois, but the section thus
smitten is not large. Winter wheat in the
West is coming up we'll, but 100 little was
sown last fall. This defect seems ia
way to be more than made up BY tine
amount of spring wheat put in the ground.
The South is rasing as much corn, more
wheat, and more vegetables than ever be-
fore. Their papers say they can be indie
pendent of the West for bread, if nothing
blasts the present prospect. In February
and March the planters were discouraged
about cotton, and made small preparation
for crop. But the recent rise to thirty
cents, and the disappointment of the sable
Legislators in not receiving hundred acres
each under the "new law" has induced
them to hire out on fair terms. Texas will
make large crop-a hundred thousand
more bales than last year probably. We
see little show for decline in sugar, for
Louisiana is not likely to raise more than
she did last year, and that was only one
tenth of her ante-war crop. Hence we
suggest to farmers who live where the Oc-
tobcr frosts are not severe to plant good
deal of sorgo, As general rule, when
common brown sugar is over twelve cents
a pound the farmer south of New York
City will save money by producing all his
own syrup. Fine grades of -four will con-
tinue to rule high first, because the dry
white varieties of wheat bear expectation
best, and second, because, full as our
wheat crop of all kinds may be, there is
no prospect of abatement in foreign de-
mand. The New England States are not
putting in much spring wheat, and here
they mistake their true policy The West
can surpass the East more easily inthe pro-
duction of meat than in growing wheat.
We hear offew winter-killed vines, hence
the grape and wine crop will be the largest
ever seen on the continent. About the DO
tato there is much Encouragement. It is,
after all. refreshing to find the ancient
round of seed time and harvest so littleaf-
fected by our wars and jars and bad laws
How fortunate it is that the clerk of the
weather cannot be impeached for any of his
little irregularities as he swings around the
circle of the seasons.
"Too near to God for fear or change,
He shares the eternal calm"
