The little Duchess of Edinburgh, who
seems to have been waiting her opportu
nifty, came out in blaze of diamonds
which threw everything else into the
shade, and dazzled even the gravest eyes
Her dress is thus officially described
" Rich blue velvet with garniture of tie
finest Russian sable, satin pettcoat
trimmed with bands Of diamonds aud
large diamond tassels, aud trains of vel
vet" Observe, not diamonds merely,
but bands of diamonds " and large
diamond tassels" We must hope that
the Duchess was coAsoled by enjoyment
of her own splendor, and the effect it
produced, for having to yield precedence
to the Princess Louise, whose husband is
only a Dukes son, and who has two
brothers in.law in trade. The Princess
Beatrice did not appear; and it has been
remarked as odd that the Duke OF Edin.
burgh went to the Prince of Wales ball
without the Duchess. The visit Of the
Prince of Wales to India, which is to
take place next cold season, has long
been contemplated, but obstacles have
always come in the way 1t is to be
made a great pageant, There is some
talk of making new batch OF Field
Marahals, of which, perhaps, the Prince
will be one; but | should think this is
doubtful, so far as he is concerned.

restrict it to a special article-carpets
Next followed the project of single
loom; the one loom multiplied itself to
small room full. Then they bought
the patent Of the American Bigelow
loom, and this seems to have caused
their business to enlarge very rapidly.
The first poor little building with which
they began--a picture of il is kept in a
frame-expanded like a magical tree,
and now their establishments have
spread into a town Of their own, the
buildings being connected by high
bridges, passing above the streets. They
employ five thousand hands, and their
machinery is turned by seven steam
engines, representing an aggregate
power Of three thousand horse.

when ne was suddenly roughly seized
upon the shoulder by halfdrunken

Mr. Riddle has some jokes in his last
novel, but they are fearfully old. As
for instance, at fashionable Washing
ton party, Mr.. A. meets Miss B. and
tells her that Miss c. is in the next
room. "Ah, is sheP Is she looking
pretty2 What has she on2 Nothing
that is, nothing to speak of" This sug.
gests another story, also very old, but
very good The Count A. is sitting at
an English dinner party opposite the
Duchess B., who is very decollete.
There is not over much love between the
two, and when the dessert comes in the
Duchess selects fig and presents it to
her Vis-a-yis with, "a fig for you, sir. I"
Not to be overdone in politeness, he
selects a leaf from the finest basket, and
answers, as he bows low: "A fig leaf for
you, madame.

Rome by the illness of friend, who is
suffering from Roman fever" which is
now very rife, in spite OF what tourists
are told by hotel-keepers. AT the
Hotel Costanzi," he says, the manager
boldly told me that there was no fever in
Rome, and that my friends illness was
not fever, but that / had called in inn
proper doctors, who falsely represented
such to be the case to injure the hotel.
| had an English, an Italian and Ger
man physician, but the fever run it's
course, and may last some weeks yet.
Lots OF people are ill of it here, and
there have been some deaths, 1t is high

health of Rome, and that brings me to
my object in writing to you"
