Special correspondence OF the Register.
NEW YORK, May l6-Out of the be-
wildering abundance Of fashionable fab
RIGS. 20 temptingly arranged to capiivate
the feminine fancy, it is extremely diff
cult to tell what is most fashionable, rs
the sanctioned combination Of so many
different colors, materials ana styles
gives an almost unlimited license to in
dividusl taste.
1t Is true that certain materials and
shades are decidedly new, but their
beauty and elegance are dependent upon
the combinations employed in making
ana the appropriateness of the occasion
when worn, for the use of toilette gov
ems all the details of its composition.
FOE EVENING AND DINNER DRESSES,
the close fitting princesse dress, with long
train, Is the model on which are fashion
ed all the marvellous and beautiful cres-
tions of silk, satin, tuIle and flowers that
are seen in full dress.
And apropOs OF the excessively long
trains now in the height of fashion, let
me say that only ladies Of stately car
rage and liberal physique can. wear
them with grace. Ladies of small stature
when arrayed in these long narrow.
trained garments have an ut-ot.propor-
toned, burdened appearance which is
not pleasing. A moderate tran would
make them appear taller.
The backs OF princesse dresses are usu-
ally made with loGg plain widths gradu-
ally sloped out to the extremity of the
tram; upon the sides, and more especial
" on the front breadth, are placed the
elaborate trimmings. Scsrfs, loops aud
diagonal folds have been superseded by
lengthwise insertions, plastrons, vests
and other fiat trimmings. The front
breadth or pastron is made Of the richest
and mos. snowy material composing the
dress, Is brocade or satin. Again q
width of rich embroidery is slOped and
placed over the entire front width or q
width of tulle deliberately oramented
with beads is lined with a contrasting
color and inserted as plsstron, &c.
Bands of the embroidery are used TO
trim the neck aud sleeves, Jet, pearl,
amber, modoie or dark red beads, lace
fringe aud embroidery are employed.to
finish oil elegant dresses.

A REPORTER of the HERALD paid q
short business visit to the Compress
Saturday afternoon, and found there
that business had been very light, but
that among some OF the employees
time had not been spent dlsadvan-
tageously, and that to compensate for
the want Of active employment their
time had been occupied in the manu-.
facture OF telephone, connecting the
Office with the entrance gate. Mr.. Sam
Moore seems to have been .he directing
genius Of the arrangement, and
being assisted by the willing hand OF
Mr.. Parker and the other young gen
tlemen Of the yard, now has something
new to show bis friends. Though not
entitled to the credit OF being the In
ventOrs of the machine, the young men
have certainly demonstrated that tele
phones do exist, and that one can bC
constructed In most simple manner
capable of transmitting sounds ad lib
itum tor short distances. While
standing before the instrument
aud wondering what It was, the
familiar voices Of MessrS. Manlove
and Parker were heard singing the
well-knOwn air Of "SWeet By.aud. BY. !"
A running conversation then took
place between the reporter and these
gentlemen, In which number of Ques.
Iions and suswers were asked and re-
ceived. The instrument is simply two
oyster cans with both ends cut out, one
of which is covered with an ordinary
drum.head, and surrounded by em 0ly
cigar boxes in lien Of the ordinary fun.

The connection between these cans Is q

operating as an insulAtOr. The sounds
