Our theatre-going citizens
will have a chance this week OF again see-
ing the charming Katie Putnam in a round
of her iavorlte characters, John Brougham's
burlesque of "~Pocahontas'' was rendered
Saturday night with much acceptance to a
full house. All the members ofthe talented
troop acquitted themselves in O manner to
elicit applause. In this community, Katie
Putnam has become the legitimate success
sor of the Maggie Mitchell ofother days.
Tonight she appears in "Lorlie," a new
piece, but said to be full of most telling
and effective points.

THE rumors that the Roman Catholic
Church intends to canonize King Louis
XVI, of France, are gaining consistency.
We are assured by responsible journals in
France and Italy that the Pontifical au-
thorities are actually engaged in the exami-
nation of the claims to beatificaton of the
unfortunate Bourbon. 1t is said, too, that
the Pope and a number of thelcardinals are
Ia favor Of the plan. The royal race OF
France has already given one Saint Louis
to the church and a second of that nomen'
clatnre might cause some slight confusion
n the calendar.

Lipscombe, son of N. @. Lipscornbe, esq.,.
died suddenly athis fathers residence, cor
ner of Second and Marshall streets, last
night. He had been complaining all day,
but nothing serious was anticipated. At
night he accompanied a young lady to
church. On returning home, retired to
bed, and failing to come down stairs this
morning the family became alarmed. On
repairing to his room be was found dead. 1t
is thought death ensued from a congestive
chill. Deceased was an active member of
company ST" of the First regiment.
Many hearts will be touched with sadness
at the demise of this genial, social, and
steadfast friend, who has been cut off so
suddenly in the earliest days of manhood
when everything seemed brightest. Mr..
Lipscombe was about twenty-lour years of
age.

well known and respected citizen breathed
his last, Sunday night, at his residence on
st. Peters street, in this city, after several
weeks of severe illness. He had attained
an advanced age though his intellect and
physical force remained undated to the
last. He was an ~enterprising and useful
member of the community. He leaves a
widow, several children, numerous de-
%scendants and troops of friends to mourn
his death. For mary years he represented
Monroe ward in the city council. In youth
and mature manhood he was an active and
influential member of the Richmond Light
Infantry Blues, and years after he had re-
ceived the imprimatur of his comrades as
an honorary member, he continued to
shoulder his musket and display the blue
with the youngest of them all.

lSaratoga Letter to New York Sun.l

[Saratoga Letter to New York SUM-
For the benefit of many young ladies who
remain away from Saratoga, this beautiful
spot where
The weary cease from troubling and the wicked at
rest,
I send the following account of the latest
watering place fashions
Shoes - Are worn high in the neck,
flounced with point aquille lace, cut ON the
bias. High heels are common in Saratoga,
especially in the hop room. Cotton hose,
open at the top, are very much worn, some
of them having as many as three holes in
them. Cotton ploughs are not seen.
Children-Are made very forward this
yeal, but they are very often dispensed
with entirely for quiet toilets. They are
too loud. A neat thing in babies can be
made of drab pongee, gored and puckered
to match the panier. Little boys rufled,
fluted and cut on the bias to match the un-
dershirt are very much worn. Many are
worn all down to living skeletons by such
fashionable ladies as Miss Management,
Miss Usage, Miss Behavior, Miss Doing and
Miss Guidance.
Bonnets-Are Worn high-none less than
$50. They are made high in the instep and
cut docegsete in front, trimmed with thedev-
ilknowswhat. Low neck bonnets with
panniers are no longer worn. The front of
the bonnet is now invariably worn be-
hind.
Lovers--Are once more in the fashion.
They are worn ON the left side for afternoon
toilets and directly in front for evening
ballroom costume. A nice thing in lovers
can be made of hair (parted in the middle);
sickly moustaehe, bosom pin, cane and
sleeve buttons, dressed in check cloth.
Giant intellects are not fashionable in Sara
toga this season. The broad, massive,
thick skull is generally preferred. The old
lover trimmed with brains, character and
intelligence is no longer worn.
Dresses-Are not worn long over
two days. They are trimmed with Wooster
street sauce, looped up with Westehester
County lace, with monogram on 'enl. Shake
well and drink while hot. Inclose twenty
five cents for circular.

Postal Cards.

These most convenient little messengers
appear to have been met everywhere, at
first, with mistrust. Popular prejudice was
prepared to fight to the death for the long
established privilege of defending its wisdom
by paper cover from the vulgar gaze.
Fastidious ladies declared them to be abso-
lutely indecorous, and gentleman distin-
guished for his learning lucidly proved that
their use would corrupt public morals by
increasing the facilities for forgery. De-
spite all opposition, the general public has,
however, speedily learned that there are a
thousand questions and answers that may
freely be confided to the discretion of the
postman without any fear of disagreeable
consequences, and postal cards ale now in
use in every country in Europe except tardy
Turkey, while they hutter like flocks of
birds throughout the length and breadth of
letter-writing America.
Tt is said that the invention is due to a
learned Austrian professor, and tits certain
that the first postal card appeared in that
country as early as the first Of October,
1869, under the appropriate name oSkor-
respondent
The postal cards were put into circulation
in Germany on the first of July, 1870, ard
were Immediately found to be off the greatest
practical value in the army.
In the same year they circulated in Eng
land and in Switzerland. Belgium cauti-
ously experimental upon their introduction
by permitting their use in certain district
for determined period, commencing July
list, 1871. Asno dangerous results followed,
their use was authorized throughout the
whole country.
The people of Norway and Russia received
them as a New Years gift in 1872.
Spain and italy have legalized them more
recently, and arrangements have been made
for their introduction into Greece.
4 double card has been used with great
advantage in Holland, Belgium, Germany,
Switzerland and italy. It seems to offer
happy completion to the scheme for the
speedy and rapid transmission Of intelli-
gence, by the simple plan Of adding reply
card, which may be already addressed,
leaving tile correspondent only the trouble
of writing his answer, and detaching and
posting what might be considered as
correspondence coupon.
