Gov, Tilden Sere enaded.

Gov. Tlden was serenaded on Saturday
evening 10 New York. and 10 his speech,
said:
If our British cousins find it difficult to
get supply of food we have boundless
supply, and a continent in which are vast
areas of fertile soil, adapted to the use of
agricultural machinery and connected with
the centres of trade by great rivers, vast
internal seas, and $4,000 miles of railways.
Why cannot British workmen have cheap
food, our farmers good trade and our car.

The French Election.

PARIS, Oct. 29.-The result of the
second ballots yesterday for members of
the chamber of deputies, so far as known,
show nine government candidates and
two republicans elected, in three arron-
easements. The republican candidates,
claiming they were elected on the I4th
inst, did not stand yesterday, intending to
submit their claim to the chamber of dep
uties. The republicans however, did not
attach much importance to these supple
mental elections, because, excluding the
three uncontested embellishments men,

Of age are still popular when the yokes
are cut in square Pompadour shape and
the skirts finished with Spanish founce.
A new effect, however, is given to these
little dresses by laying box pleats down
the front and back, instead of merely
gathering the fullness into the yoke.
There are three broad box pleats in front
and three behind, reaching only to the
waist line or below the hips, or else with
IN finger-length of the little Spanish
hounce.
Simpler dresses than those Just de-
scribed, and more stylish because more
chnglng, are made with box pleats from
the neck down to within two or three
inches OF the edge of the skirt, and fin
lshed with a Spanish founce. They
have no yoke, and the only seams are
those under each arm The material is
first sewed permanently in three box
pleats, each nearly two inches wide.
with space between, and is then cut
out by long sacque pattern. The gar
ment fastens behind under the middle
box pleat. The pleats and hounce are
most effective when the pleats are not
sewed all the way the top of the founce,
and this is done in snowy little white
dresses of fine muslin; but for cambrics,
glnghams, and linen lawns that are to be
often laundried, mothers stitch the box
pleats all the way down to the founce-
a bias band of the cambria is then used
as a heading for the founce. These
lengthwise box pleats must not be
on each edge, but are merely
sewed in the middle once, opened, and
pressed fatty. Dresses made in this way
are worn with or without sashes, accord
ing to fancy.
Little girls do not wear pique dresses
as much as formerly, the fine soft wool
ems and fannels with white lace trim
mings being used instead. Piques are
still made, however, with princesse
fronts and backs as far down as the hips,
where kilt-pleating is set in the back,
and a sash is used to cover the Join; the
sash may be pleated pique or of ribbon.
Lepped piques are preferred to all 9TH
ers, and the trimmings are embroideries
and Smyrna lace.
Fine twflled woods and basket-woven
stuffs in colors are now imported for
children's dress in light qualities that are
not warmer than pique, and do not soil
so easily.

larly adapted to our American ball
rooms, where gas is too often the trying
light. The leaders of fashion in Paris
are born enemies to gas in the ballroom.
Not only is it trying to the color of dress,
but it is very severe on the complexion.
A soft candle-light is the best of all.

The Beautiful Nautch Girls of India

Many of the India dancing girls are
extremely delicate in their persons, soft
in feature and symmetrical in form.
Dedicated from childhood to this profes-
sion, they preserve in general modesty
and decency in their demeanor, and their
dances require the utmost attention.
from the dancers ankles being hung
with bells, attached to their anklets,
which in concert move with the music
Their motions are meant to express with
the song or music, love, hope, jealousy,
and other passions, which can be under
stood, even by those who are ignorant of
Hindostanee. Another class of girls,
quite apart from these, are those who
are dedicated to the Hindoo temples.
These are taught by their parents that
the presentation of beautiful daughter
is highly acceptable. All these girls of
every kind, are generally gorgeously at
tired and redOlent with perfume They
scent their long black hair with Gil of
cloves, ottar of roses and the like, and
they quite frequently wear strongly
scented flowers. They are permitted to
eat meat of every kind except beef; they
may even drink of spirituous liquors
and they frequently nave accompanied
.Asiatic armies to the field. No ceremony
or festival of any kind is considered
complete without their presence, and
every great temple has its own set of
dancers attached to it. DR.. Buchanan
tells us that there were one hundred Of
these girls in Conjeveram in 1869. Their
most graceful measure is one called
" The Kite Dance" the air of which is
slow, and to which they initiate the ges-
lures of person flying a kite. The at
titudes incident to this are favorable to
Oriental grace, while the upward direc-
ton of the eyes displays the finest feature

French Marriages.

A vast majority OF marriages IN France
are marriages of interest-that is to say,
commercial bargains. This is true, not
only of the idle class, but of the working
classes; it is true throughout Does a
good salesman wish to set up in business
on his own account he looks for wife
whose dowry will be his working capital.
Does a landowner think of improving
his estate he takes wife who will enable
him to drain, or whose acres would dove
tail into his own. A lawyer marries in
order that his father-in-law may push
him in politics or help him on to the
Bench. An architect marries because
his wife's first cousin will get him en-
ployment in the city works. A man of
fashion marries because his recent losses
on the turf would otherwise oblige him
to retrench his little comforts. 1t is a
barter, nothing else; SO much profess
sional prospects against so much ready
cash; a rich old maiden aunt against a
seat in council; coat-of-arms against
three men-servantS in livery. The
mutual claims are weighed, compared,
discussed by the two nOtaries In the
study, while the sutton in his dress-cOat
and cream-colored gloves is paying re-
spectful attention to the young lady in
the parlor. Neither party is the others
dupe; the gentleman, when talking to
his friends about his matrimonial pros
poets, will always mention the solid"
advantages first; and the lady, on the
other hand, can tell to a centime what
her dowry will be, and has often dis
cussed with her friends in the convent

An Imported Bridal Trousseau.
From the Y. Y World.

1IOId ll1C ~. L. NOI1u.
I saw trousseau few days since that
came from the hands Of three Parisians
Worth, Pingat and Madame Robilleau,
of the Rue St. Honore 1t was so differ
ent from anything I have seen here I
deemed it worthy of description. The
bridal dress was white gros grain en- train,
with eight horizontal folds an inch deep
laid across the front in slanting bias,
and ending at the side, where they were
beautifully ornamented with white
downy fringe; the back of the train
was plain, having only a lace founce,
with fringe, headed by satin passemen-
terie that hid the sewing Of the lace. The
sleeves were " Madame de Sevigne,' -
having lace a74d crepe Isse for ornament.
The waist was demi-Princess, yet severely
plain-the buttons held tiny pearls, and
the front of the corsage had a bout0anlere
of orange blossoms. The fair finance
tried on a few of the walking and even
ing dresses, and [ confess they looked
more as it they were invented by some
painter or sculptor than by cutter OF
cloth,' so tightly did they cling to the
form. The ball dresses were not so tight;
one was a creamy brocade silk with q
fan train, an overdress, tabular front
with three rows of white chenille fringe
ornamented with white ostrich feather
trimming at the top. The effect was
charming and the conception quite
original; the waist cut low, and bertha
of fringe with same as skirt trimming
the waist laced behind, straps for sleeves
with dropping lilies on them intended tt
fall on the arm. The head dress was 8
tuft of feathers and dropping lilies; nc
colors blended.
Yellow is losing its hold, and conse
quently the imaginative Worth blends i
with other colors. a yellow poni- de-soie
cut Gabrielle, was trimmed with til,
palest blue, making one of the pretties
and most effective ball dresses particu

Cheap Girls.

A girl who makes herself too cheap is
one to be avoided. No young man, not
even the worst, excepting for base pur-
pose, wants anything to do with cheap
young lady. For wife, none but a fool
or rascal will approach such woman.
Cheap jewelry nobody will touch if he
can get any better. Cheap girls are moth
ing but the refuse; and the young men
know it, and they will look in every
other direction for lifelong friend and
companion before they will give glance
at the pinchbeck stuff that tinkles at
every turn for fascinating the eye of any
that will look. You think it quite the
correct thing" to talk loudly and
coarsely, be boisterous and hoydenish in
all public places; to make yourself so
bold and forward and commonplace,
everywhere, that people wonder if you
ever had a mother, or home, or anything
to do. So be it. You will probably be
taken for what you are worth, and one
of these years, if you do not make worse
than shipwreck of yourself, you will
begin to wonder where the charms are
that once you thought yourself possessed
Of, and what evil spirit could have so be-
fooled you. Go on, but remember, cheap
girls attract nobody but fools and rascals.

Oh. George! What n DagnSeI!
From London Fun.


She was young and fair, and tear
glistened in her eye as she laid her curly
head upon his shoulder and exclaimed
ooh, George, | think if [ found you did
not love me [ should die" "My dar-
ling" he answered, passing his hand
gently round her dimpled chin, 81 will
always love you. Do you think [ would
marry you if [ did not feel sure of it.
In few days, at the altar I shall VOW to
love you all my life, and will keep my
VOW" A lovely kind of beatifc happi-
ness played for moment like sunshine
on her lips, and then she whispered,
"Oh, George, I like to hear you talk like
that, you have been SO good to me. You
have given me q diamond locket
and a gold watch and chain and rings
that an angel might wear outside her
gloves and not be ashamed, and if l
thought that one day you'd be sorry
youd given me all these nice things and
want them back again [ should break
my heart" He held her gently against
his manly breast, and answered with a
quavering voice, ooh, my own darling,
there is nothing on earth that could
happen that would make me repent Civ
ing you few tokens of my love, or
make me want them back again. She
sprang from his arms like JOYOUS deer,
she shook back her sunny curls, and with
a whole poem in her hazel eyes, ex-
claimed, " Oh, George, you have taken a
load from my heart. I've come to say [
can't marry you after all, because I've
seen somebody I like better, and [
thought you'd want your presents back
again.
