NEW YORK,

Srectal Correspondence Of The Tribune.
New York, Oct 5.-The new toilcttcs dis
played at the recent openings exhibit the most
startling combination Of colors, and these arc
not less noticeable III street and visiting cos
tunes than i'll full-dress toilcttcs- Among the
latter favorte combination seems pink and
Vulcan red. This latter is sometimes dcsig-
mated as Sultan rcd. Tie pink often varies in
shade, from rose-salmon and 1esll-coIor to a
plain, decided pink, or q delicate r0se-rcd tint.
This union Of Colors is exceedingly novel, and
in some few cases have seen it used to al-
vantage; but in most it is too bizarre and
glaring to suit O thoroughly-relined taste. i
toilette showing the two judicousIy blended is
of fail1e, satin, and crepe lisse. The dress,
Princess robe, is of faille, the foot of the skirt
trimmed with alternate plcatings OF itself, and
ofSfrcpe lisse Of the SAME nuance- The
fail1c plisscs are fringcd out on their lower
edge. The polonaise, which is very tightly
drapea, has simulated jacket outlined bs
reyers Of Vulcan-red satin. A scarf OF futile
lined with the rcd satin Is draped diagonally
across tho front, and is SO arranged as to reveal
great portion Of the satin lining. This vivid
display is somewhat subdned By fall Of rich
white lace that which covers the satin. The elbow
sleeves are finished with plcatinos Of red satiu
and rose-hucd crepe lisse inter1ning1cd with
fall Of lace. Another dress Of pale blue gros-
grim shows prevailing combination. 1t is
Princess robe, trimmed at the bottom with silk
pleatings and shirred puffs OF pale-bluc illusion.
Heading this is i chain Of vivid red carnations,
field-aowcrs, and rich velvet leaves, The Pom
padour corsage and scarf drapery are OF hand
some blue damassce, and are trimmed with plcat-
ings OF silk under illusion, aud further
decorated by bouquets OF flowers to correspond
with the oycrdress. The sleeves are composed
entirely ul shirred pulls Of lioht blue tullc gar
landed with flowers.
THE DISPLAY oF'M1LL1NERr
at the openings is something wonderful. In
feathers there is everything conceivable, from
whole bird III all its plunlage to single quill.
There are rich br0lze tips shaded into pale

"ADn1ASopLE, Sept. 3.-DEAR w.: Awful

poising and stcadying himself In tho current.
THIS attitude WIS maintained not longer than
three or four minutes, and the distance being
nearly or quite 100 yards, Capt. Carraway's dt-
scription is necessarily imperfect, but, in the
main, it is undoubtedly accurate, as 1t agrees al
most exacty " with the description which has
heretofore been given of the monster by pcr:o,ls
who have seen him wading in shallow water or
outstretchcd On saud-bars, Suddenly the i'm
mense head and neck disappeared under the
water with q lashing sound that could nave been
heard a half-milc down the river. For few mo-
vas quickly discovered that be was making, in
direct course, for the towboat and baTgcs. His
track was indicated by rolling, pointed wave
that came rushing forward hike water npcllcd
by great submarine uphcayal. There was
great excitement on board, and tire Captain and
hands were all on deck, looking, with terror,
upon the extraordinary spectacle. i Young
German, named Henry Decker, was on the coal
barge laslcd to the right Of the towboat, and it
was under this barge that the monster plowcd
his irresistible way. First came Violent % sbocS
and then the bar5e WAS thrown with tremendous
force above the surface Of the water and almost
careenea, the rear end being l1oistcd twenty feet
HURLED INTO THE RIVER.
and along with it the man Henry Decker The
lashingS BY which the barge was secured to the
towbuat were snapped, and the shock was so
sudden aad strong that the towboat itself
was almost lifted clear OF the water. In
moment the monster reappeared in front of the
fleet, anu, turning its body SO Us to face the
barge it had passcd under, again reared its
body, suddenly liyed into the water, and made
for the boats, 1t was 4 fortunate circumstance
thar the barge had become detached FROM the
towboat, for this seems to be a special
object Of aversion to the leyathan, for
he attacked it with fury that was terri
bic to behold. First he drove into tile
sides with his huge bcak, lifting it almost en-
tircly out OF the water, and sending it fifty feet
away Then liz lasite1 It with his tail, the
blows resoundiug with deafenipg effect, while
in the meantime the air was made hilcous with
successive roars and harsh, loud bellows. i
second time he made an assault with his bcsk,
striking it thirty in the sCuwaies aad sending it

THE BRANDYwTNE.

Brandywine Creek, made f .mous by Il q
battle fought Oh its banks, the anniversa-
ry of which was celebrated yesterday, is
said t. have derived its name from the
wrecking there, about 1865, of vessel
loaded with wine and brandy, but MIR.
rrailcis Vincent, of Wilmington, Della
ware, sends to the Ledger an interestir ?
letter in which he claims that the name
was more probably derived from Andrew
Braindivlne, who owned a tract of high
land then at,the mouth of the creek, but
now ION account of the filling up of
marsh lands) about a mile from where
the creek flows into the Ihristiaua. A
census of settlements on the Delaware.
taken in 1854, reported the number of
people living there to be 1858, and Mr..
Vincent thinks it unlikelytha a vessel
loaded with wine and brandy would be
seat there year later. when the popula-
tion was smaller, "owing to the flower
of the Swedish troops" having been car
rled by Stuyvesant to New York. The
custom of naming creeks and islands af-
ter residents is given as a reason for sup
posing that Brandywine Creek received
its name from the owner of the most
prominent tract OF land at its mouth.
Mr.. Vincent mentions incidentally that
there is tradition that the name Schuyl-
kill arose from Swedish vesselrunping
past Fort Cas;mer (New Castle) after the
Dutch had captured the settlements and
hiding in the 5cuylkill river, whence the
name of gliding Creek" Mr.. Vincent
finds this name in early Delaware records
applied to the stream now known as the
Schpylkill liver, and he derives the mod
ein name from Two Dutch words, ,''skulk," :"
to hide, and Gkilln creek. 81 &
