FRESH From PARIS.
New York Cor. st. Louis Republican.

Let me tell you how young lady,
fresh from Paris, from a London season,
and no end of high popularity with
somcof the English swclIs, was dressed
yesterday in Broadway. This young
woman wears Paris made costumes; it
is to be presumed that she is quite in
style, as she is Of our new rich people,
and very ambitious socially.
She had on a black vclveteen skirt
founcod, a green cloth polonaise made
very long, and perfectly plain, save for
some red silk buttons. Her round hat
was very high, with long black feathers
dropping over it; her gloves black,
stitched with red, and her collars, cuffs,
and handkerchief edged with embroidery
of red. Her hair drown when she went
away, now pale gold color) was in gold
colored net, at the back of her neck, or
on her back, tied with a red ribbon. No
crinOline at all-nOt even a suspicion of
it. like our American modes better;
we have red and green, in abundance,
but not quite such a range for these pro-
nounced colors as our friends over the
water have. White ivory ornamets are
much in vogue--also carved shell Orna-
mcnts. Chatelaine watches of silver,
shells, and jet, are much worn.

If ever a commerce was laden with a
voracious set of leeches it is the COM
meroe of New Orleans. The extraordi,
nary port charges levied by the munich
pal acts of the city, added to the pilot
and towage charges between New Or
leans and the Balize, have for a long
time constituted a robbery which has
had the effect at last in driving all trade
from New Orleans which could be done
elsewhere. To pilot a boat across a bar
one mile wide seventy-fve dollars was
charged. Consequently each boat had to
pay one hundred and fifty dollars to an
ignoramus styled bar pilot,,to 60 over
the bar and back Then O river pilot
must have another one hundred and
fifty dollars to take the ship up to New
Orleans and return, just as though that
charge were necessary, when all that
was necessary was to steer between the
banks of the we'll defined river-if
steamer--Or to follow the towing tug if
a sail vessel. 1t would be just az consis-
tent to impose pilot on every railway
train before entering the city? Yet the
New Orleans board of underwriters sus-
tain the river pilots, and refuse to write
on a cargo unless there be a pilot on
board The towboat company, how
ever, are che worst robbers of all, and
manage to pluck from three thousand
to five thousand dollars out of every
vessel they haul up and down. These
are the gentry that have been fighting
the jetties. They scent an ending to
their trade, and are hostile. The sharks
of the Balize have addressed a letter TO
the various commercial bodies Of New
Orleans stating that the material being
drcdged out by Eads at the head of
south pass is being deposited at the head
of the southwest pass, and that the JET
ties are constructed in such a manner as
to cndanger navigation of the southwest
pass. There is twenty-five and a half
feet in south pass and eighteen in south
west pass. That is what ails the pilots.
The jetties are a success, and a port is to
be established at south pass, where the
river steamers will meet the ocean
vessels, and that is what aiIs the tow
boat company. Let them all howl until
they get sick of it. That's what ails st.

WASHINGTON, October %, 1876.
Nv the President Of the United States Of
AmeriCa-A Proclamation:
From year to year we have been
accustomed to pause in our daily pursuits
and set apart 8 time to offer thanks to Al
mighty God for the special blessing he has
vouchsafed to US, with our prayers for con-
tinuanee shereof. We have at this time
equal reasons to be thankful for his contin'
wed protection, and for the many material
blessings which his bounty has bestowed.
And in addition TO these favOrs accorded to
ms AZ individuals, we have especial occasion
to 9 xpress our hearty thanks to Almighty
God that by His providence and guidance
our government, established a century ago.
has been enabled to fulfill the purpose OF its
founders in offering an asylum to the people
Of every race, and securing civil and re1g-
ions liberty to all within its borders, and
melting out to every individual alike justice
and equality before the law. 1t is moreover
especially our duty to offer our humble
prayers 10 the Father of all mercies for
continuation OF His divine favor to us as
nation and as individuals. BY reason OF all
these considerations,
I. Ulysses s. Grant, President Of the United
States, do recommend to the people of the
United States to devote the thirtieth day OF
November to the expression Of their thanks
and prayers to Almighty God, and laying
aside their daily avocanons and all regular
aocvDotions tn assemble at their respective
places Of worship, and observe such day as
a day of thanksgiving and rest. In witness
whereof have herounto set my hand and
eaured the seal of the United States to be af-
fixed. Done at the City of Washington, this
twenty.si1th day of October, in the year OF
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and

FASHION GOSSIP.

Velvet cloaks are being revived.
Shoulder shawls of Iceland wool.
Fish scale brocade is very fashionable
Basket ribbon still continues in favor
Seal skin turbans will be worn this
winter.
Myrtle is the shade of.dark green most
called for.
Mufs made of dress material will be
very fashionable.
Velvet dress skirts will be very lash
ionable both for street and full dres'.
Leaves of dark green, cardinal red,
and brown, without any flowers are seen
ON hats.
Cloaks are made almost entirely out
of figured cloths. Very few plain cloths
are used. .,,.
The helmet is the most desirable
shaped among hats that are worn over
the forehead.
Undress kid gloves are much in de-
mand, to be worn with walking and car
riage suits.
White Swiss and Valenciennes lace
fichus are extremely fashionable for
evening wear over colOred silk dresses
Black cashmere suits and the square
figured woolens will be trimmed with
galloon braids, fringes and silk Pleatings.
Old fashioned China Grape shawls are
utilized to make the upper part OF Co.'S
TUNES. They are worn over skirts Of
black and dark colored velvet.
Among the latest importations are
dresses with nine back seams, counting
the underarm seams. They are becom-
ing to stout figures.
The necks of dresses are cut as high as
it is possible to wear them. In many
cases there are two collars, one of which
stands and the other turns down.
Day colors are the darkest shades of
seal brown, clarct, indigo, blue and
black. The introduction Of high
colors in the way of ornaments will be
sparingly used.
Pleatings of the finer "knife" will be
greatly worn this season. They will ap-
pear on all kinds of fabrics and be the
one preferred trimming for waists and
sleeves, as we'll as skirts
Stockings, of two contrasting colors,
are quite new. Ore color extends TO
just above the shoe tops, the other
finishes the stocking. Where the colors
meet there is some fancy clock work of
the lower color.

MATUFA CTTRIEG Pro-
CESS.

The following is from recent letter
to the London Times:
{" ! still hold that, although at present
the cost of production in America is
greater than with us, yet this is only q
temporary difficulty. Manufacturers
have proved that they can produce the
article required by the market, and they
are now bending all their efforts to the
reduction of cost. can specify a class
of English goods which have latterly
been wholly superseded in the United
States market by goods OF native, or, as
they have it, of " domestic" manutaC-
turc, and to the excellence Of which |
have had to bear unwilling testimony.
| could mention another class which is
evidently doomed to the same fate, as
they can be produced on the other side
of the water at a reduction of thirty.fve
per cent. AS compared with twelve
months ago, and are now fractiOnally
above English rates. The period of in
fated prices, enormous profits, and, as a
consequence of these, extravagant wages,
il passing away. The last item has
hitherto been the great difficulty with
manufacturers. Once let wages fall to
the European level, which they are
rapidly approaching, and we shall find
that the ample labor-saving appliances
and that greater intelligence of the work
ing people will bring US facsto face with a
competition such as we have never yet
had to meet"

CAsrIHoN car-whcels are the subject
of controversy between the Swiss rail
roads. One company has recently begun
to use them under its freight cars; the
other refuses to permit cars with such
wheels to pass over its line, condemning
them as unsafe, to the great disadvantage
Of through traffic from the connecting
road. An appeal was made to the Swiss
railroad department, and that body has
referred it to the council Of the confeder-
acy. In the arguments made 50 far We
have seen no mention of the fact that
cast-iron wheels are used almost exclu-
siyeIy, for passenger as we'll as freight
trains, on sevcnty-fye thousand miles
OF American railroads, and that accidents
from wheel breakage are decidedly rare.

She rode into town on a load of hay
yesterday, and as she drove up to the
eastern hay market she called out:
Everybody git away, for Pm coming
down -
Down she came off the back end of the
Ioaj, striking the ground like a load of
stone, and when the men around there
came to see that she was as broad as she
was tall they began to banter her.
''No fooling now" she called out.
"NIy names South, and I've driven that
load of hay fourteen miles this morning
/ know Pm fat, but I've got business on
hand and can't stand any nonsense"
After the load of hay had been weighed
she was offered fifty cents to step on the
platform, while a dozen men made up a
purse OF two shillings each to go to the
one who guessed nearest her weight.
1.-TWO hundred and ninety!" called out
the weighmaster as the beam went up.
"That's my heft to pound" added
Mrs. South, and reaching out she seized
the hat with the shake purse in it, cram
med the money into her pocket, and con-
tinued:
"You can't make no side-show of me
and all get dead-head tickets"
There was quite row over her COB
bling the cash, but she backed up to the
scales, spread out her fat hands, and re-
marked:
"Gentlemen, if anybody thinks he can
take the money away from me, here l
am, Pm very motherly and tender
hearted, but l know my weight and
cIawing capacity"
MAKING 4 FOOL OF ONES SELF.
Making a fool OF ones self is with
many people part of their educational
experience in life. Once brought to the
experimental realization OF the fact, one
is apt to be wiser ever after.
A man generally makes fool of HIM
self by wasting his money, or going into
some mad speculation, or believing in
mines and companies that are but traps
for the unwary, or by losing his temper
at critical moment.
A woman manages to do the same
thing through the means of her tongue
or her heart. She talks herself into
tribulation, OF she gives her love to some
worthless creature who becomes the bane
of her life.
1t is over his empty purse that man
generally stands and clenches his hands,
and nutters, "Tyo made fool Of my
self" 1t is over her empty heart that
a woman usually walls forth the same
words.
