Society and Fashion.

GRAY and brown are the two most
fashionable colors worn this season.
SATURDAY evening calls are the New
York style now.
The latest engagement ring in Phila-
delphia is the old fashioned plain hoop
of gold.
SHAwLs are now worn square over the
shoulders instead of being folded length
wise.
The cost of a marriage bell of flowers
for wedding reception is from fifty to
seventy-five dollars, according to the
seasan of the year
Round hats are not worn over the
forehead this season, but are tipped
back far enough to show the curls on
the front of the head.
OPERA cloaks for this seaeon are of
white silk tissue, atriped with white
satin, with deep hood trimmed with a
quilting of a white satin ribbon.
A SARCASTIC young lady says she never
was so much in love with man
that two rainy days together in
country house would not effectually
cure her.
The reason why all the women wear
Their heads tied up in gray wells, at
this season, is to prevent the skin
from becoming freckled tanned and
sun-burnt.
LADIES like compliments as children
do bon-bons. They will take them till
they can take no more; but if ever so
small one goes to another, Oh. how
they long for it A!
CASES are now carried on sun-shades
as well as on umbrellas. Besides being
the thing, this new custom saves the
light fabrics from endless injury in the
way of dust and grease spots.
THE most admired shades of brown
used in combination are cafe az lau Ct
cafe az lat force, coffee and milk and
strong coffee and milk.
THE matinee standing collar, with
front corners turned down, is the latest
style, and very becoming to slender gen.
tlemen with long necks.
PUTTY color is becoming very fashion.
able for silks and satins. Mrs. George
Law wore gros silk of this shade at
her daughter wedding reception last
Tuesday.
BLACK lace basques and jackets are
making their appearance in great va.
riety, and promise to be very much
worn. Open or flowing sleeves are so
much newer, and considered so much
more desirable than the close ones, that
there is a difference of several dollars

FAIRY fringe neckties" are the latest
| and prettiest ornament for the neck.
They are composed of several strands
of soft silk, fastened together at the
ends and finished with soft tassels. They
are made in all colors, and are wonder.
fully becoming.
THERE is nothing new in bonnets or
hats. Frou-Frou gypsies of straw or
chip, trimmed with the inevitable strea-
mers OF lace or grograin ribbon, are
most popular, especially among young
ladies, while the full gypsy or the
Charlotte Corday seems to be more af.
tected by matrons and women Of less
fanciful but more distinguished taste.
THERE has been great effort to get
rid of hooped skirts, and it has been par.
TALLY successful. With long dresses
| hoped skirts are not now worn at all,
only hustle, small, or large, according
to the taste of the wearer. The under.
skirts are of course long, nearly the
length of the train, and generally very
much trimmed with tucking md flut-
ing, which greatly assists to support the
length of the dress skirt.

Alice Cary to the Little Folks.

1.-THE Bright Side" thus closes a notice of
Alice Cary's death: Dear Alice Cary, we will
always love and revere your memory! May the
boys and girls whom you have done so much To
lesson of your life, nor the happy, charitable
spirit which they will find in all you have written
for them; Here is part of the introduction to one
Of the last books she, wrote, Snow Berries.
w ould you think ITS author could be Just on the
ng?"l
Ny little men and women
~ who SIT with your eyes downcast.
Turning the leaves of Snow Berries
over and over so fast,
l know rs | hear them flutter
Like the leaves on summer bOugh.
You are looking out for story about
The talrles,-aren't you, now?
And SO it is wise to tell you
That you needn't turn so fast
For there isn't single fairy-tale
In the book from first TO last.
My muse is plain and homeSpun,-
Quite given to work day ways,
And she never spent an hour in the tent
Of "a fairy in all her days.
She is strongest on her native soil;
And you will see she sings
Little in praise of elts and fayS.
And less of queens and kings.
The finest ladies. so she says,
And the gentlemen most grand
Are made by Nature, gentlefolk
And are royal at first hand.
She says of the women who sew and spin.
And keep the house with care,
That they are the queens and princesses
Whose trains ought to bear.
And says of the men who hammer and forge,
And clear and pillow the land.
That they are the worthy gentlemen
no make our country grand.
A ribbon, she says, in the button hole
May go for what it goes,
But he is the greatest man who is great
Without such tinsel shows.
Our country's flag can never drag,
She says nor its stars go down.
For how should it fall when one and all
Are rightful heirs to the crown!

The eeg of a little bird

The egg of little bird
Fell at my feet to-day.
And the little within il stirred.
Throbbed once. and sank away.
A song fell out of heart
Into the hands of men;
They broke il all apart
And none would know II then.
Poor little bird in the grass
Poor little trembling song!
Beside you both | pass
And the way, the way is long.
Poor little wren so brown.
Twittering over her loss
Poor little heart east down,
Thine is the greater cross

Song.

When the violet blows
Light the swallow Plumes his wings.
Sweet the earliest robin sings;
Something dearer brings the rose.
Fairer forms are nigh
When the rose is full and bright
Ever shapes of softest light'
Then in CHANGING flight go by.
From what climes are they?
From the weakened heart they rise,
Bright as hues OF orient skies -
Soon the vision flies away,

THE Cincinnati papers tell story,
which if not as good as Damon and Pyth.
las, is claimed to be true. A young
German who had betrayed a damsel
whose heart he had won, was arrested
and imprisoned on her complaint. Four
of his friends commiserating his condi-
ton, consulted together as to how he
could be released, one of the number
finally agreeing to marry the maiden, if
thereby his friend could be liberated.
Accordingly, obtaining a marriage H.
cense, he waited upon the fair Wilhel-
nina and proposed his plan for releas.
ing the prisoner. Catching the spirit of
selfsacrifice she cheerfully consented to
cooperate. Five minutes later she be-
came bride in the presence OF the
freed prisoner and his friends. Five
minutes lator still, FIVE Jolly souls
counting the welded twain as one),
the late prisoner included, were max.
ing merry in a neighboring beer sa-
loon.

Freaks of Monkeys.

Major Rogers had once accepted the
invitation Of brother officer in a diff
ferent part Of the island to try few
days hostilities against the elephants of
that neighborhOod, and had arrived
after few days sport to within a mile
or two of the bungalow where his host
and hostess were awaiting his arrival
when passing by delightful, cool
looking river he thought plunge would
be the most renovating luxury in exist
encc, so plunge he determined to
take, sending on his servants with his
guns, and an intination that in ten
minutes he would be home to dinner
So, stripping and placing his things very
carefully on a stone, he began TO luXu-
riate in the water. He was capital
swimmer. and had swan 10 some dis
lance when. to his horror and dismay,
on looking to the place where he had
left his habliments, he perceived
dozen monkeys overhauling his entire
wardrobe; one was putting his leg
through the sleeves Of his shirt an
other was examining its head into his
trousers third trying to find if any
treasure was concealed in his boots,
whilst the hat formed source of won
derment and amusement to some two or
three others, who were endeavoring to
unravel its mystery by ripping the lin
ings and taking half dozen bits out of
the brim. As soon as he regained his
mental equilibrium for the thing was so
ridiculous that it made him laugh
heartily, Notwithstanding his disgust at
seeing his garments turned to such
. vile purpose"), he made haste toward
the shore; but judge of his horror on
seeing the "precious rascals' each
catch up what he could lay hold of, and
rattle off at full speed into the jungle,
not leaving poor Rogers even the vestige
of an article of clothing to cover him
self. All he heard was a glorious chat
tering, as they one by one disappeared,
the last one Juggling Off his shirt, which,
being rather awkward to carry, was con-
tinually tripping it up, by getting be-
tween its legs. Here was a pretty pickle
for Christian, under broiling sun
and here he staid till the inmates of the
bungalow, beginning to suspect some
accident, came out in search, and found
poor Rogers sitting up to his neck in
water, in frame of body and mind
which we may conclude to be "more
easily imagined than described"

WASHINGTON, August %, 1871.
The Corean war and the "syndicate ]"
subscriptions have been the sensations OF
the week here, and these will he augmented,
perhaps, by the arrival of the President,
and one of the usual routine Cabinet meet
the summer occasfoned ripple upon the
stagnation Of the capital. 1t Is not posi-
lively ascertained that Grant will nut in an
appearance this week, but general opinion
tends that way. It is not to be expected
that for respect of that opinion alone the
President will vouchsafe bis presence. Tho
fact is, the resident and floating population
of Washington have become used to the
absence OF the President, and should he
remain week it would be certain to give
rise to the most astonishing speculations.
The Republican divisions in California
produce CONSERVATION among the polit1-
clans here. MIR. Gorham, the secretary of
the United States Senate, seems to be the
chief instigator, as he kicks against the
anti-Chinese plank In their platform. This
Is certainly practical endorsement OF the
Radical theory that all men possess free
and equal rights. That. however, does not
protect Gorham from the Indignation OF his
political colleagues, and it may cost him
bis position lin the Senate when Congress
meets. The policy Of the Radical leaders
that is, of that portion of the organization
which insist upon rule or ruin doctrine
is to ostracise and expel every member Of
the party who exhibits the first sign OF dis
affection. 1t will be shown when Congress
meets how thoroughly this notion has
imbued itself in the dominant wing of the
party. 80. ..-. ...-s.- .- 49, ..-....

GRIZZLY BEARS INCoNYEN1ENTLY FAMIL-
IAR.-[From the Los Angeles (Cal.) Express,
August 7. Last Thursday, as JAS. Twee-
dy, stock herder, was sitting astride 4 log
up In the Fort Tejon region, eating bis
lunch, four large-sIzed grizzlies came trot-
ting down the canyon, and one of them
coming quietly up behind him, hit him on
the head, kn ocked him of the log, and then
bit him severely through the back of the
neck and shoulder. The young man play
ed dead. and the bear, probably thinking
he had finished him. went off a distance,
but to be doubly sure, came back and smelt
around him again and started off. When
the: bear had gone a distance of about fifty
wards, Tweedy jumped up and mounted
his horse, which was standing near by, and
rode away. His njuries are painful but not
dangerous. In the same neighborhood, on
the next day, VIM. Thomas, son Of Judge
81. B. Thomas, of Los Nictos, was sleeping
in tent, when, being unaccountably dis
turbed bya dream or something else, lie
rot 1lp, and looking out, saw four grizzlies
Coming toward the tent. He did not stop
to receive them, but mounted his horse
and rode away, leaving them masters OF the
situation. The grizzlies are giving stock

CHARGED WITH DESERVING Hrs SHIP
Officer UDwyer arrested a sailor by the
name of John C.. Harmon on Tuesday,
charged with refusing to do duty on board
the brig Moses Rogers, he being Claw
fully shipped" seaman of that vessel for q
certain voyage. His case was heard yester-
day before Justice White, when it was
ascertained that Hannon had sshipped"
ut New York for voyage to Richmond,
and from this port to Austria with cargo
of tobacco for the Austrian Government.
The captain of the brig, as is the custom,
had advanced part of lannon's wages,
and presumed, of course, that he would be
faithful to the articles which he had signed
in New York previous to going on board
the vessel. Hannon states that he is will
ing to work out the advance already made,
but declares that when that Is done he will no
longer remain on the brig or 60 to Austria,
as she is not seaWorthy. The captain,
however, denies this statement, and desires
the man held until he can get ready to sail,
which will be in the course Of next week.
Iu consideration of the statement made by
IIannon, Justice White. deemed it eXpe-
dient to continue the case until this morn-
ing, in order that the captain might intro
duce testimony to prove that his craft is in
every respect staunch aud seaworthy; the
sailor in the meantime is locked up at the
First Pollce-slation until this morning,
when the matter will perhaps be finally
disposed of. .. -..-

A POINT IN THE ALABAMA CLA1MS.-Ihe
following conversation took place in the
House of Lords on the 11th:
Lord Redesdale asked whether the ques-
ton as to the right of the United States to
persevere in their demand for an indem-
nity on account OF the Alabama claims
since the reconciliation Of the southern
with the northern States would be distinct
Us the damage for which such indemnity is
claimed was inflicted by the southern
States, who now join in the application.
He reminded their .Iordships that OH his
putting question earlier In the session it
was stated that the point had not been
raised previously, and that it was too late
to bring it before the commissioners. He
hoped 1t would now be taken up, for the
acts of the southern States having been
condoned by the northern States, it was
contrary to every principle of justice that
the former should claim compensation for
the damages inflicted by themselves. ..~
Earl Granville replied that it would be
inconvenienr to discuss the nature of the
case to be laid before the arbitrators, but il
would doubtless be satisfactory to the noble
Lord, and to the House, to know what
stems had been taken in the matter. The
drawing up of the case had been confiled
to the noble and learned Lord on the WOOL
sack, who would be assisted by LORD Ten
derden and Professor Bernard, the two
men in England most thoroughly acquaint-
ed with all the facts. He was happy to say,
also, that besides the advantages to be de-
rived from the legal advisers OF the Govern
ment, Sir Roundell Palmer had consented
to act as our counsel on the occasion. Sir
Roundell had shown great public spirit in
accepting this task at great personal sacrl-
flee. He would also superintend every de-
tail Of the case. AS to the particular point
raised by the noble Lord, the Government,
which they could fairly and honorably urge,
while abstainipg from putting forward any
point which did not appear to them or their
advisers founded in reason. sf.

RAILROAD MATTERs.-The Selma, Rome
and Dalton railroad, with its southwestern
connections, offers great advantages to both
passengers and freight. To the former it
presents the inducements of quicker time,
shorter distance, splendid track and outfit,
the road and equipments being all entirely
new. The Pullman palace cars run over
this route, going from Lynchburg to Mobile
without change, To emigrants bound for
Louisiana and Texas it will afford special
advantages as to fare and comfort.
In the matter of freights from this city,
in connection with the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad aud the Richmond and Dam
vile railroad, it affords quick and cheap
transit, and has already become quite fa-
vorite with shippers. s-eas.
1t will be seen that. passengers for the
south from the Virginia Springs can save
eight hours by travelling over this line.
