A private letter from Paris says !:
"The Parisienne of fashion rarely
wears ruching round her neck on the
street; the plainest description OF
linen collars are worn instead. Lace
is reserved entirely for evening wear.
Embroirderies are still in high favor.
In tuell batiste and gauze the design
offine flowers, done in delicate shades
of silk, are charming. Guipure lace
of delicate pattern is much used to
turn cachemire de Pinde, wolfe or
bergaline. The colors most in favor
are steel gray. corinthe and turquoise.
The fashionable wrap is covered al
most entirely with 'grelots' of jet, the
ends crossed &C the waist and fasten-
ed at the hips by jet ornament.
Sometimes they have huge bow of
lace or satin ribbon at the bosom, the
ends falling as low as the knees. A
pelisse. which appears to be a great
success, and is frequently to be seen
in the 'Bois.' is made in soft, colored
silk, lined with surah of a brighter
hue. l have especially admired one
in Scabieuse silk, lined with peach
blossom surah. These wraps envel-
Ope the form, without being in the
least cumbersome, and have a beau
5iful effect. Sand de beuf is the not
very refreshing name given to bril-
liant shade now offered in vogue. A
1ew tint Of white is called magnolia.

IL silver or gold.
The newest ribbon for trimming
are velvet on one side and corded-Iike
Slcllienne on the other.
Garnet jewelry is gradually Creep
ing back into fashion again, and the
price of the stones has advanced.
Pepper-and-salt mixtures. notified
cloths and underlined stripes and
plaids are the rule in all the new

There are various ways of dressing
the hair. 1t may be arranged with
the long catogan braid to fall over
the shoulder and the from of the hair
waved over the forhead. Young girls
wear their hair low down in the back,
either in curls or braids, and have
their font hair crimped. Another
way is to have a small piece of the
front hair crimped and the remainder
combed in three thick ringlets. An.
other style is the fiat couture, with
the back hair twisted or braided and
the front smooth, with small straight
bang. If the hair is dressed for an
entertainment there may be a flower
near tn e left ear.
Among the most favored hats are
the ''Girondin" shapes. They have
straight brims and rather high crowns
line trimmings consist Of several
rows of ribbon velvet taken around
the crown, and ostrich plumes. There
is an occasional variation, in the
shape of these hats. Some have mar.
row brims, in which case there is a
bunch of plumes on the left side. II
the brim is broad long amazon
plume is used. Great partiality is
shown this year in Paris for fine
gray straw hats raised on the sides.
All the trimmings for these are in
the shade Of the straw. The brim is
lined with velvet. Around the crow n
is long gauze veil, which is long
enough to be taken around the neck

and an article commenting thereon.

GREY, upon being sentenced, was handed
over to the custody of the city coroner.
The latter evinced some reluctance to take
charge of him, but the judge called upon
him to do his duty. The coroner. whose
Intervention was necessary because Grey
is high sheriff of the City of Dublin, then
conveyed the prisoner to Richmond prison.
Grey, at the expiration of his term, must

two others of 1900 pounds each. The

u. 5. CATTLE COMMISSION.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16-J H. Sanders, of
this city, member of U. S. Cattle Commits
sion says: For the month ending July
18th, Chicago received nearly 1900 head
OF Texan cattle, greater number than ev
er before in the same length of time They
were mostly slaughtered and those not
killed were kept apart from domestic cat
tie and are not likely to infect them with
the Texas cattle fever this year. though
eastern breeders who have not learned to
deal with the disease are troubled with it.
Mr.. Sanders thinks the cattle fever in the
east is from cattle shipped north from
southern states. East of Texas, where
cattle sre afflicted with Texas fever. Mr..
Sanders and other members of the Com
mission will start for Quebec to-day to
examine the quarantine system there,
with the view of adopting a similar one
at Portland Boston, N. Y, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, within two months. This
will allow direct importation of fine cattle
from Europe.
