How Some Of the Court Ladies OF
London Dress.

LONDON, Aug. IL know, of course, that
fai. readers care little for descriptions OF toilets
unless they arc dated from Paris; but the tol
lowing descriptions from Truth Of some OF the
dresses which we're displayed at the arlsocratl1
Goodwood race meeting may Interest them
especially as they we're doubtless made, or at
least iuspiyed by Partisan modlstes.
Light summer material and quiet coIors were
the order Of the day. The Princess of Wales,
as usual carried of the palm for beauty and
perfect taste 10 dress. On Tuesday Her Royal
Highncss wore figured French material. With
little knots of pink ribbons Hl!teriog on tha
skirt. The same day Mrs. Langtry had dress
Of the same sort OF material, hutterlng W'th
yellow ribbons, while 90 the Cup day the Pflo'
cess costume was a mixture OF brown and hight
blue satin, which certainly would not have
looked so we'll on any one but l1er lioyai High
ness.
The following are among the other more
successful dresses: The Duchess Of MancLes
ter wore black cashmere, with bussar trim
ming of narrow gold braid; Lady Roseberry
wore on the Cup day an elaborate costume OF
olive green apd sky blue, with hat or cap to
match: Lady Charles Berestord were a black
dress, With bodice of Iich gold en- broldery,
cut 10 the shape OF cur forcfathers Walstcost,
can or honuet Of scarlet satIu, and parasol OF
the same co!o-.
The beautiful Lady Alinaton surpassed every
one in the variety aud richness OF her dresses.
Her Cup day costume of iaWn coored silk aud
velvet, with q wealth Of curious irlnges, attrao'
ted universal attention, and 90 wonder, as 1t
had been whispered that the sum OF nlnety'
line guinsas would not bavo purchased this
marvel Of the modiste's handlWolk.
The ladies Maoc and Florence Brldgemau
were noticeable for light blue cashmere trim
med With rows OF narrow silver braid. :,
Mrs. Lspgtrys costumes were very CHIC,
and, gs though anxious 10 ayald observalon,
were CT the plest character; but II this were
the idea of the LiIy she must have been greatly
disappointed, es the country COUSINS stood star
ipg at her to their hearts content
But perhaps the most exquisite O! all the
toilets was white silk with satin stripes, and a
Rubens hat with white feathers; but then this
costume was set off by the youth and beauty OF
the wearer, q dangerous rival OF the jersey
Lily"
'What next" cxclaims Truth. Il see 10
ladies' newspaper that Partisan mojlste has
lust completed costume tor an English lady
of which the following is description: Tho
material is foe cream Bolton sheetlDg; the la.
ycusc tuuic is turucd up With linen canvas,
which is embroidered with cocks and hcns 10
rcd creye Too!s. The waistcoat is Likewise
studded With red poultry. The ncckte is red
fJuIard and the Tuscan straw hat is trimmed
Ia creole, with a balistc handkerchief, also
worked with rcd cocks aud hens. Red SILK
hosiery is worn With this costume. This cos
tune undoubtedly possesses the merit OF orgi
nsIity but vino is the English LADY? I.

School.
EFor the Dispatch

[For the Dispatch.l
Our enthusiasm was so excited by the adj
mirable manner in which the pupils OF this
school acquitted themselves OF their several
parts in the Queen Of May at the close OF
the session that we wish our good friends
Of the Dispatch could have participated in
the rich treat; for sure are we they would
feel constrained to break their recently en-.
acted law and devote brief space to we'll
merited eulogy Of the skill OF the teacher,
Miss V. Elma Cauthorn, and the patient, as
piring efforts Of the pupils, which enabled
them to achieve results Of which their warm
est friends had hitherto believed them inca.
pable. -.
The opening address, by Wiley Law
renee, born orator, was finely delivered.
We were particularly struck with the beau
tiful little fairies who, in the absence OF the
Mayors, gleefully sported about the stage
one little blonde taking seat upon the
throne, little brunette upon the step, an
other clapping her hands in delight atiwlt-
Messing the floral decoration, still another
twining a garland. The beauteous and
Observation-Disclosures Queen OF May; Miss
Sallie Sutton, exercised her regal authority
with much = grace and ease. Lee, sutton
enunciated beautifully his welcome to the
fairy band, and lead, q la Chesterfield, their
lovely Queen, Miss Lizzie Thorpe, to crown
the May Queen. +, We. shall not soon forget
the Graces- Beauty and her, mantle, Flora
and her bouquet, Innocence and her cordial
fora troubled mind, Love and the Book
divine--nor that handsome youth who pre-
sented to the Queen that little stone which
had the power trto call these Graces from
the scenes Of bliss" and his ott-repeated
s.again the, charm, dear maiden, kiss, and
see what Grace will come" The Fairy
Queens soliloqny was very beautiful. Tina
padgett, Ida Black burn, and Elijah Hutchi-
son. deserve especial mention for lengthy
srecitations; also, Mamie DAWSON, for the

BUFFALO LITHIA SPRINGS, }

June II, 1878.
In this section the wheat harvest COM
menced last week. It is seldom this crop
natures so early. The yield in quantity
and quality exceeds an average crop. Some
localities have been visited by storms, but
causing no great extent OF damage. Win
ter oats are very forward and unusually
fine, but spring oats are Indifferent. A
large surface has been planted in corn. and
so far we'll cultivated and prospects en-
couraging. With reference to tobacco there
is much greater scarcity OF plants than
was at first expected. There are compara-
lively few farmers who have sutficlency.
All will plant some but not large number
a full crop. The preparations have been
ample and the seasons favorable. Fortu-
nateIy limited quantity OF fertilizers have
been purchased, consequently the result
will be less tobacco but Of more desirable
quality, and the gratifying assurance that
the entire crop, as sometimes occurs, will
not be required to pay guano-credit
notes pa relief Of inestimable value to the
farmer. MY observation extended through
this and the adjoining counties OF Charlotte
and Halifax. b.
TheSe springs were opened on the 1st,
and the outlook for large patronage and
PROSPEROUS season better than usual. An
immense quantity of the water is shipped
TO all parts of the country. |. shipment
upon order has been recently made to
France. At the Paris Exposition the
:: Lithia /" and the g Vi,hy" will greet the
eye of the visitor as the far-famed mineral
waters of the world. Bishop Gregg and
family, OF Texas, are here for the season,
and others from the South.
A party of fifty or more land-buyers, OF
Pennsylvania, have written to inquire terms
OF board, expecting to make this place their
headquarters while prospecting for lands in
this section Of Virginia during the'summer.
The hill lands about here produce much
better than their appearance would indicate,
and are easily improved, while the fat lands
Of the Dan and Staunton rivers near here
arc exceedingly fertile, and possess gene
raj adaptation for all crops, especially the
cereals. y.
