The Mistake of a Sexton.

New York Letter.
General n P Banks is said to be the only
man who ever succeeded IN placing the late
Sexton Brown. of Grace Church, in a false
position. Brown attended to all the recep-
tons and funerals of the supper ten' in
Gotham and prided himself on the fact that
he knew erybody, and, by his wonderful
acquaintance with human nature in general
and good society in particular, could not
commit social solecsm. One Sunday dur
ing the Late unpleasantness'- about the
time that General Banks was organizing his
disastrous Red river expedition in this city
a dashing young officer, in a brilliant new
uniform, made his appearance at the door of
Grace Church. and the obese Brown rose in
haste and ushered the stranger to an eligible
seat in the body of the church. Soon afterward
a quiet man, of middle age, clad in q shabby
army overcoat and without any insignia of
rank, stepped modesty in the doorway and
Brown, without rising from his chair, mo-
toned to an assistant to show the unfash-
ionable man to pew in the rear. Soon
after service began the young officer, being
of an inquiring disposition, took survey of
the back seats as we'll as the front, and pres
emily spied out the soldier in the shabby
overcoat, who was sole occupant of a back
seat Brown saw a startled look of recogni-
ton pass over the young officers face, and
the latter reaching out for his cap left his
own pew and walked back to the rear seat
where the shabby stranger sat. Nor was
this all, for to Browns surprise, he handed
over handsome prayer book he had brought
with him and showed him otherwise all pos
sible attention. 1t was mystery to Brown
until the elder stranger, after a while, took
off his shabby overcoat and revealed the
shoulder-straps of Maj or General Poor
Brown was Mortified when he learned subse-
quently that he had placed General Banks
in the rear of the congregation and one of
his aides-de-camp in the front; but it is said
that Banks who took in the situatio at
once was nightly amused.

Three Handsome Wedding Dresses.
Nav

Some rich wedding toilets just completed
in this city are worthy of note, by reason oil
their extreme beauty and novelty as models
both for brides and bridesmaids An exqui
site robe designed for prospective bride in
Washington, is made of heavy white velvet,
trimmed with deep flounces of duchesse lace,
headed by downy bands of white ostrich
feather trimming The effect of the fall OF
exquisite delicate and rich lace over the soft,
white velvet is exceedingly lovely, the whole
dress proving much more becoming to ordi-
nary compilations than opaque white satin,
second bridal dress is made of white otto.
man silk brocaded with tiny golden roses
and leaves. The petticoat is of pale gold
satin, hand-panted in clusters of white lilac
and full-blown white roses. The lower edge
of the court train is battlemented, i. e., cut
into square blocks and faced. Underneath
these blocks is set ruffle of gold lace, fall
ing over second one of killed silk.
The Josephine corsage is cut out very much
in the neck, i'll easement shape, and
trimmed to match the edge of the train.
Lastly for very youthful bride is charm
ing toilet composed of plain white ottoman
silk and made in regular Grecan style, the
chaste and artistic arrangement of each soft
ly draped fold and curve giving most grace
full and statuesque effect to the whole. The
trained skirt is perfectly plain, but the lace
drapery OF the Grecian bodice is to be fas-
tened with magnificent diamond clasp, and
the square neck and edges of the half-open
sleeves are finished with rare old point lace.
dress for her attending bridesmaid, gift
from herself is made OF white China Grape,
embroidered in pale pink roses over an I'M
derskirt of white surah laid in wide panels,
also rose embroidered. Falling from the
poin ted bodice in the back is long, graceful
Grape train bordered with the embroidery.
The Marguerite bodice opens over chemis-
cite of pink silk. and the drapings of the
skirt are held by clusters of blush roses. A
double row of opal-tinted Roman pearls will
be worn around the throat, fastened with a
fine gold clasp. A pair of long white Sweed-
ish kid gloves, white kid sandals with stock
ings of pale pink silk complete a toilet no
less beautiful than that of the bride.

A FEW FASHIONS.

All the imported jerseys have sash backs.
Zouave jackets are among the popular
styles.
Dog collars of velvet, silver, pearl and jet
are again in high vogue.
Handkerchiefs with Kate Greenaway bor-
ders are most used with street costumes.
Dark Egyptian red Babel jackets heavily
braided are the fayorite autumn wraps for
little girls.
Fancy-headed pins are used instead of
brooches or lace pins to fasten the collar and
lace jabots.
Slashing is a decided feature of the season.
Some dresses have the draperies slashed for
two inches; others two feet.
Ottoman silk bodices made to fit like jer-
sey waists of silk stockinette, are worn with
skirts of silk, satin and velvet.
Short ostrich tips and smooth feathers of
every kind are preferred this season to the
sweeping plumes so long worn
Point duchesse and old French point are
used on evening bonnets of cherry red or
pale peachblow pink velvet, with tips in
creamy white to match the tint of old lace,
or in cherry red or pale pink like the velvet.
The new wraps appear to have reached the
very acme of luxury and comfort The
richest materials are employed for these
garments. Rich pushes and plush brocades
repped silks. Most Of them are very long,
but there are also short visites to be worn
with elegant visiting dresses and opera capes
of plush or beautiful brocades.
The very large Chevreuse collar of black
velvet is quite generally adopted by fasona-
BILE young ladies this autumn. The collar is
usually of black velvet, richly embroidered
in black silk flowers ard leaves, this adorn-
ment almost concealing the lower half.
Sometimes the edges are cut into square
blocks, with embroidery in special designs
worked in the center of each. Deep cuffs -
match may, or may not be worn, according
to fancy.
Among fall novelties in neck-wear are otto
man silk scarfs, woven in odd antique pat
terms, throwing an artistic intermingling OF
scarlet, green, bronze and bright gold. These
scarfs are to be fastened up close in the
throat outside the street jacket, and are tied
in the same manner as the steenkirk of white
lace worn two years ago-a style of neck
dressing closely initiating that worn by
noblemen and gentlemen in the reign oil
Charles II.
In the revival of "Frou-Frou," which is
the present passion in Paris Sarah Bernhardt
wore first a Pompadour satin overskirt white
satin bouillon skirt to match, the whole
trimmed with ruched edges of cardinal vel
vet Second, a honeycombed velvet princess
dress, trimmed with swans down, over g
white laced skirt, embroidered in white jet
Third an old-gold plush dinner dress and
large Yisite to match, lined and turned uI
with crimson satin. Fourth, brown plush
! dress, with white applique over lace skirt
with golden grelots. Fifth, gray silk over
an ottoman velvet skirt, profusely orna
mented with velvet flowers.

Made-Up Bonnets.
Harper's Bazaar,

Cloths, velvets-plain, brocaded and en-
broidered-with lace and large jets are used
on the made-up bonnets Chat is, when fab
RIGS are laid on frames), and these are usually
made of the material OF the dress with which
they are worn. Tailors save pieces of bias
cloth for making the entire bonnet or to be
laid in folded scarf around the crown of a
velvet felt, or sOutache bonnet, and the
dress-maker gives bits of the rich enbroid-
cred velvet tabliers for the crown of dressy
bonnets and the plain velvet of the other
parts of the costume to make the brim, or for
trimming. There is no set way of putting
cloth or velvet on the frame; the only rule
is that the frame must be small, and other
wise no two bonnets are alike, as the millner
seems to follow her caprice in the arrange
ment of the fabrics or perhaps she cuts ac-
cordng to her cloth. For instance, there are
smooth crowns with stiff lining, and there
are full soft cap crowns; there are box
pleated crowns in lengthwise pleatlngs, and
there are feStooned pieces across the crown,
made of velvet edged with beads or OF cloth
finished with chenille; and brims are
equally diversified by being full or plain
pulled or box-pleated, in smooth folds, or
with a slight coronet smoothly covered with
velvet or dotted with large moulded beads,
or with jets cut in many facets. One pretty
fancy is that of covering the bonnet with
velvet pointed bits in leaf shape, an inch and
a half long beginning in the center of the
crown and extending to the edge OF the brim,
where there are tiny ostrich tips falling for
ward on the hair. Another novel arrange
ment has rows of fine knife-pleating of
doubled velvet, each row an inch wide, start
ing in the center of the crown and covering
the whole frame. This is pretty in three
shades of a color, thus cream velvet in three
rows forming the crown, with golden brown
pleatings next, and darker chestnut brown
pleatings in the front The fashion of dark
velvet Innings and facings for the front of
lighter bonnets still continues. and some of
the most costly bonnets for day receptions
have the crown of ivory-white velvet nearly
covered with embroidery of colored pearl
beads chenille and silk, while the front is
made of puffs of dark moss green, golden
brown, or the new brilliant red velvet.
