AAH0E ON ITS TRAV ELS.
Romantic Journey OF an Old GaIteP
Round The World.


An old shoe arrived at the postof-
fee, by the evening mall yesterday,
which can boast of having been over
more of the known world than any
other shoe in the country. It is an
old worn out CATER, and attached to
it is a toy guard and large card, now
filled with postmarks of the various
offices where it has been oyerhauled.
The earliest postmark that can be
found on it is April Is, perhaps a year
ago. The card bears the following
inscription, written upon writing pa
per and pasted upon it: Il would
like to climb the heights of the Rocky
Mountains, wade through the SHOWS.
of Alaska, walk through the gardens
Of California, mirror my lovely face in
the Pacific Ocean, aud listen to the
murmurs of the Atlantic, before [
End my resting place. Friends, shall
my wish be gratified?"
Iu another place is the inscription:
Il am bound for Toledo, Ohio, they
say; Shoe Fly on their letter. Each
p. M. will please stamp his railroad
stamp on me and let me pass. Truly
yours, Shoe Fly"
In another place is the following |:
Let no profane hand dare to stay me
In my course;" to which some other
person has added, Go on" Another
inscription says: Respectfully ded-
icated to Sun Set Cox. by the Chicago
office. Pass on"
The card is nearly covered with
postmarks, among which the following
are legibIe: Davenport, Iowa; Port
land, Oregon; Lockpo N. Y; Chi
cage; McGregor, Iowa; La Crosse,
Wis; San Francisco, Cal. Milwaukee,
Wis. Prairie du CHEN, Wis ; st.
Paul, MINI. Then there are stamps
of the Union and Central Pacific rail
roads. showing its passage to and from
San Francisco; also, of several steam
ers belonging to the Hawaiian line of
steamers, showing its passage to and
from the Sandwich Islands and to
Japan, and down to Central America
and Mexico
The clerks in the several Offices
have also shown their appreciation OF
| the joke By employing the various
stamps to be found in a postofhoe. So
| there are the stamps, Person ad
dressed can not be found" Held for
postage, "Missent to San Francisco, >
Forwarded. Unclaimed, /" A'Adver
vertised, - Prepaid quarterly, San
| Francisco"
The old shoe will b. resent on its
! travels this morning, provid ed with q
new card for future reports, and start
/ ed west in the hope tn at it will reach
| Toledo, if it don't start off down south
and there get weaned of its travels.

inappropriate, and anything a0htte, SO
adorned, must be productive of con-
siderable trouble if nothing more.
SUMMER SUITS
! OF fue white linen are very beautiful,
and no more expensive than of the
above mentioned. We noticed dress
| of this material, which for elegance
beauty, and simplicity was unsurpassed
( by any thing seen before this Summer
| The under skirt had the essential wide
| hounce, and only differed from others
in being less umbrella like than the
prevailing mode dictates. The over
dress had a tiny apron front from
which descended two long points be-
hind; around the edge of these, to-
gather with the front, was inserted
three rows of handsome insertion,
that combined with an edge of the
same description, made a trimming
essentially superior to the
RUFFLINGs AND PLAITINGs,
With which the world is rapidly be-
coming disguised. The front of the
waist was also relieved by this insert
inc, while the wide flowing sleeves were
trimmed to correspond.
BLACK GRENADINES
Are very pleasant for warm weather
attire. and may be made In every va
riety of manner. The only objection
to this material is its costliness-or
rather not its costliness," but the
costliness of its compartments
Many are under the delusion that
black grenadine must be supported By
a silk under skirt of the same color.
To such we would gently say = You
are laboring under a mistake. Black
silk undoubtedly makes handsome
background for grenadIne; but why
persons who consider dress of this
material utterly unfit for Summer wear,
will consider a pettic0at of the same
description as an imperative necessity,
is another latter day mystery which
we shall, 10 all probability, leave to
posterity. However there are thin
black goods which " set off the gren-
adines very finely, aud which in point
of comfort are immeasurably superior
to heavy silks. These goods may be
purchased for trihe, and with such
an inexpensive under skirt. the greu-
adine suit is not so unattainable as the
uninitiated suppose.
SUMMER SILKS
Make up very prettily, and are much
worn. The lustrous gray of the Jap.
anese silk contrasts very prettily with
black, AID conseque atty suits of this
description are almost invariably trim
med with the last named color.
1t is amusing to note how rapidly
suits have excluded the old style of one
outside garment for several different
dresses. Silk sacks that for years have
been an indispensable article Of Sum
mer attire, are now very rarely seen,
aud. as we understand from the best
authority. are
NOT AT ALL THE THING.
The white waterproof hat is an af-
fair which cannot be too highly COM
mended, both for its cheapness aud du-
rability. There are some new shapes
with respectfully sized rims, which
(of course) suit us perfectly. The
snow white of this description of straw
precludes a great deal of trimming.
A little black velvet or lace contrasts
beautifully with the waterproof frame |
and the whole cost of such an affair |
is trifing in comparison with that of |
other hats not one half as pretty.

We publish on another page this morning a
carefully prepared letter from Washington on
the political prospects of the Republican party.
Our correspondent concludes tss was indeed
already manifesN that the new party move
"ment" of the "Revenue Reformers' was
without strength and norganized; and that
the Republican party will approach the next
contest as united on national issues and az
earnest in the advocacy of its principles rs in
the past. The discussions of the Democracy
are not, we believe, exaggerated, although it
is to our own strength, and not to our enemy's
weakness, that we must look for success. The
letter is fair expression of opinion as it
exists at Washington among the best informed
men of the organization, and deserves careful
attention.
New-York tribune., 1870-12-21

The storming of Nuts doubtless marks the
resumption of the advance on Lyons. The
town which the Germans have just carried,
capturing 6,000 prisoners, is at the head of the
Saone Valley, in which Lyons lies, and not
more than hundred miles distant from that
city. The descent from the mountains to the
valley is not difficult, and the march thence
southwark is through a rich grain country, in
which the Germans will not be likely to suffer
for supplies. Their main force is still detained
before Belfort and other fortified towns in the
Vosges; but when the captulation of these
places relieves the conqueror of Strasbourg
from siege duty, we may look for rapid
march toward the main city of southeastern
France. There are few fortified towns to oh
struct them, and the forces Of the French do
not appear to be adequate to resist the army
of Won Werter when once concentrated. The
Italians of Garibaldi and large number of
indiscipHned Mobiles and Francs-tireurs ap-
pear to compose at least the advance Of the
army defending Lyons.
