PARIS FASHIONS.
City Hats -Crinoltne-Styie of Make e-Dress
Materials and Coiors.


BY the European mail we have the following
report of the dress fashion styles which were
prevalent and looming out in Paris on the 1st
of November
or front border, very much raised, and, in some
instances, completely turned up; it has also a
crown, and generally a curtain, the shape of
which varies. A distinguishing feature of this
winters modes is the large colored ostrich
feather, placed in o curve over the velvet or
satin bonnet. Something very like the cap of
former bonnets is also worn; 1t is made of
lace and flowers, and worn under the
bonnet Hats are not much worn in
town. by ladies, unless they be very young ones.
The two most striking types of hats are the
Franc. treuT, very high in shape and very much
trimmed with feathers and velvet, and the Marin
hat, black and mauve, with the tri-cOlor ribbon.
A kind of bobeche hat is also very becoming,
with brim turned up behind aud lowered very
much in front, very high crown, denied down a
little in the middle, with lorsade of black velvet
and red gros grain ribbon twisted together and
placed round the crown, and in front the tips of
black curled feathers, above which rises
panache of red feathers.
CTinoline is decidedly given up this winter:
that Is, il has become iuyisisle, and is replaced
by the tOuTnure Imperatrice which gives the
fulness required at the back of The waist aud
supports the train of the skirt. This tOurnure
is short for the costume, aud for the train
shaped dress deep iiouuce ia added to it Ii
is made with percale, and lined with very stiff
gaUZe.
In the making up of the costume there is more
simplicity than there was last winter. Usually
it now consists OF one skirt only and a Jacket
bodice with deep basques.
The new autumn costumes are made of soft
wOollen fabrics that are at once light, warm,
and elegant; among these cashmere, satin de-
laine, and llama materials are the incest. We
must also mention the shawl costumes. best in
keeping for travelling or the seaside, but also
very generally adopted for town wear.
The tartan, Scotch plaid, and vigogne shawls
are all suitable for making mp these costumes
The complete suit consists of skirt tunic aud
loose jacket with wide sleeves, or else of skirt
and casaque. The fringes of the shawl are kept
for the trimming of tuDc and casaque or jacket
The imports of New Haven, Conn, during
the past year amounted to $50, $50 and the ex-
ports to $3.50.
"A young lady named Minnie Huntoon, while
singing at a church in Jasper county, Ind, on
Sunday last was suddenly struck dumb, and has
not since been able to utter word.
"A gentleman at Toledo Ohio has expended
5000 in the building OF fairy palace 1t is
twenty two inches high and rests upon stone
foundation three inches above ground.
BY judicious utilization Of convict labor,
the Monroe County On. Y.) Penitentiary is soon
likely to become a source of profit instead of q
burden, 10 the tax payers.

THE PARIS DEFENSES.
The EIscIrIc Llghrs on the Forth eatlens.

The Electric Lights the Qualifications.
The weather about Paris (writes a London
Times correspondent v no is in the army of the
Crown Prince of Prussa) is and has been horri-
ble-pelting rain and heavy gales: but, bad as it
is, the besiegers profit by it To a certain extent,
and work with greater success than would wait
their efforts on clear, calm nights. The anxiety
of the besieged is evinced by the incessant use
of electric lights at the forts.
The lighthouse serves to warn the mariner of
his danger. These bright eyes pierce the gloom
to detect the approach of an enemy From
north and south, east and west, the rays may be
seen slowly spreading through the night like
prodigious bulls eyes, and now and then the
Hash of gun announces that they have made
some important discovery, and salute il with a
shell. But, generally the activity which the gun
ners displayed some time ago has abated. They
seem to have given up the hope of staying the
progress of the siege works, and to be prepar-
ing for reply when the attack is made That
is some time distant. The reason assigned for
the delay Is not i'm any way connected with
peace negotiations. 1t is simply the necessity
OF feeding the men before all other things
which has caused the impedments to the arma-
ment of the batteries. All the horses and carts
have been employed in bringing up supplies,
and it is or has been in intervals of that work
only that the transport of guns and
ammunition could be effected. just think,
for example, OF the transport needed for
of two hnndred-pound shell for the large NOR
tars, guns. and howitzers. The French may feel
they have been too free with their ammunition.
1t will be an interesting duel between muzzle-
leaders and breeeh-loaders, and no doubt, if the
former are beaten, the active partisans of the
system in England will say that it is notorious
the French guns are the worst muZzle leaders
in the world. Their shells are very bad indeed
ST. Cloud is full of monsters three feet long with
Woolwieh studs on them unexPloded. II the
muZzle-lOaders make good fight of IL, as no
doubt they will from their great size aud stable
platforms, It will be hailed as proof of the eX-
eelleRee OF the system.
