NEW YORK, Nov. "A, 1877.
The Vanderbilt Will case is ad-
iourned to Dec. 4th. 1t is the en-
crossing topic of conversation,
everywhere. Scott Lord, the at
torney for the contestants, is very
busy getting up the testimony, and
u pretty array Of it he has. He
asserts that he can prove every
point mentioned in my last, and
has mass besides that he thinks
will not be necessary to introduce.
The daughter of William IL.
Vanderbilt, the great railway king,
was married with great pomp and
circumstance last Wednesday eve-
ming at St. Bartholomew's, the ultra
fashionable church of New York.
Probably no wedding that could be
announced would be the object Of
more curiosity, and the display was
designed to reflect the consequence
of the brides family in q manner
suitable to a fortune Of ninety-6ve
millions.
The fashions of the season are
more for sense than for show. One
of the stylish morning garments for
outdoors is a long cloak Of gray
cheviot, covering the entire dress,
and gored as closely as possible in
front and behind. A highly sensi-
bic addition for walking is q cloth
gaiter strapped over the boot, pre-
cisely like those worn by men, to
keep the dust from entering the
shoes. Embroidered waists oflight
blue or pink opera flannel are worn
under the dress for cold weather.
Bright red and blue shawls of plain
cashmere or stella shawls with bor-
ders are again worn as a sort of
half dress, and add touches of pleas
ing bright color to the streets.
The cigar-makers' strike contin-
ues, and though the strikers affect
to have confidence that they can
compel the managers to come to
their terms, they are evidently dis
couraged. About thousand Chi
namen have been brought on from
San Francisco, and they are at work,
1t will end in the men returning to
their work, with the loss ofa months
time, and some experience. The
agitators are the only ones who
make anything by these movements
