New YORK, Aug. 90, 1882.
The pastors of the different churches
are returning from their vacations, and
next Sunday will witness the re opening of
a number of sacred editices which have
been closed to ali, save the sexton and the
cleaning women, during the summer sea-
son. The campaign against 1.-The world,
the flesh and the devil" and particularly
the latter, will then be resumed again by
the pastors, at salaries ranging from two
to twenty five thousand dollars, and the
gentleman, who in these days hides his
cloven foot within a neat fitting dress
boot, will not find work SO easy as during
the heated term when the shepards let
their tlocks look out for themselves while
they sought the shade. Were it not
serious matter, the way the campaign
against wickedness is conducted in a great
amusing. 1t reminds one of the mode of
warfare in Strauss opera of the Merry
War" The two rival armies content
themselves with throwing one shell day
into each others camps, and whenever
either party wants a holiday, there is an
entire cessation of hostilities. And the
ministers who lead the host of Christians,
seem to be even more sparing of ammuni-
ton, for they Contine themselves to throw
ing thell once a week, and for two
months year they even save that. That
under these circumstances the festivities
in the other camp prove so attractive that
the faithful frequently desert, stands to
reason; but as long us theological semi
narieS are still patroniZed, the deserters
may eventually he brought back.
You would be surprised, " said promi-
nent hotel man whom | met the otner day,
IF you knew how many people from the
country and other cities are in town now.
When | tell you that in my house there is
not Il room to be had | express TO you the
situation as it prevails at every first class
hotel. City people go to the country in
summer and country folks come to town
and | don't know but the latter have the
best of the bargain The sights and
scenes here. are SO many that they are
almost never idle. The two things, how
ever, which seemingly attract them most
are the elevated roads and the obeisk in
Central Park. The first thing they do
when going out is to take an elevated road
and travel from end to end. They expect
the road to make the complete circuit of
Manhattan Islad, and many are disapoint-
ed upon discovering their error. But all
the same it affords them great deal of
pleasure. | might venture the remark
that they know more about Cleopatra S
needle, the hleroglyphic inscriptions on it,
and their meaning and history than ninety
out of hundred people in the city. They
have read the papers thoroughly and when
they see the object it is familiar to them.
A number of shrewd theatre managers
have taken advantage of this summers
exodus from the country and kept their
houses open, and warrant you they will
have pIeanty of followers next season."
The prospects of the fall trade are ex-
cellent There are hundreds of buyers
from out-of-town in the city at present.
and their purchases are reported large
The number of merchants from the South
is particularly noticeable, and Judging
from the quantity and quality of their
orders, that part of the country below
Mason & Dixon's line must be in -four
ishing condition. The modistes have been
very busy during the past week, but also
very secretive, and no novelty worth
speaking of has made its appearance
The new things will probably be sprung
Oh an unsuspecting public soon. The cor
rect thing for ladies of style and refine
ment to wear to Manhattan Beach and
! other seaside resorts, at present, is a plain
somber hued serge, with very little trim
ming, no lace and nothing but narrow
straight linen collar to relieve the monoto
ny. One of those exquisite little bonnets,
trimmed with small flowers or small ber-
ries, which make even a homely face look
pjQuGnt, is worn with this costume. The
jewelry consists of pearls or jet, while the
parasol which is of dark material, may be
lined with either cream color or crimson
silk. Yellow or russell mousqueIarie
gloves are indispensable. Thus equipped,
a lady need have no hesitation of going
into bevy of foolish maidens arrayed in
feathers and what not, ard taking the
starch out of them by her simplicity of
attire, as the sea air takes the curl out of
their feathers. BY the way, ladies who
wear feathers to the beach always stamp
themselves as looking in sauoir fare
1t shows that they go there very seldom,
anu lnuS RICK ldullllaflIy Will us peCull-
arities. The knowing ones have found
out that it costs two dollars to renovate a
feather every time you wear it at the
beach. The damp, saltish, sea air makes
them limp and jagged. Thus ECONOMY
leads to fashion.
In gent emen's goods there will be some
changes in neck wear hosiery and hand
kerchiefs. Scarfs with small figures and
polks dots, which were SO popular during
the present season, are to be discarded in
favor of ties with large and bold figures.
The most fashional shades will be olive,
terra Gotta, myrtle and dragon blue The
most excruciating scarf, the "Allaire" has
just made its appearance from London
where it was adopted after Paris set the
the fashion; and is intended to be worn
principally with high cut vests. 1t has a
dainty puff, charming shape, and blends
various colors on grounds of silk, satin
and velvet. In gentlemen's hose navy blue
has given way to Roman effects in cotton,
Isle and silks. Silk pocket handkerchiefs
will likewise be retired, and plain white
linen handkerchiefs, without any border,
will be the correct thing.
Iheo has come, and already she has
made friends of the newspaper men, hotel
people, and in fact every one with whom
she has come in contact. OF course
