MIR. F. +. Collins, manager Of the
F. E. Collins Manufacturing Co., re-
quests the LIGHT to inform the public
in general and his friends in particu-
lar, that owing to their rapidly in
creasing business, making it neces-
sary to increase largely their manu-
featuring facilities and machinery,
they have been unable to find time to
make creditable exhibition on the
fair grounds. However, they invite
visitors to their factory, salesrooms
and warehouses, located at Nos. |, 8, 5
and East Houston street, where they
will be made welcome and shown
over vast establishment.
To passengers purchasing tickets
the rate to the fair grounds will be
twenty (20) cents for the round trip.
To those paying fare on the train the
charge will be twenty-five (25) cents
each way. Commencing Tuesday, the
18th, trains leave Arkansas Pass depot

IT Is pretty we'll understood that
the conductors of Harper's Magazine
always intend to issue a Christmas
which shall be not only COM
plete in itself, but arranged on lines
somewhat different from those fol-
lowed during the rest of the year; and
the articles in the Christmas number
for 1855 were selected, evidently, with
this end in view. The result is an is
sue strong and novel. The originality
of its pages is, perhaps, most striking

The duke was most attentive to her
while here, and placed his hand and
title at her feet, but she has not yet
stopped to pick them up. Not that she
is unwilling to become the Duchess of
Marlborough, but she wishes to retain
her own fortune for her own use. The
duke is to come over during the early
summer and perhaps the final arrange
ments will be made, and one more
American beauty become a member of
British ariStocracy.
Mrs. Albert Gallatin, another wealthy
ana handsome American widow, has be-
come engaged to the Count Rohan de
ChambOt, Partisan of old family but
limited means, and the wedding is to
take place before the end of the sum-
mer. Mrs. Gallatin has lived abroad for
the past seven years, but before that
she was a well-known social leader in
this city. Her husband has been dead
for five years. She inherited most of
his vast fortune, and since his death has
lived in handsome style in Paris. The
Comte de ChambOt is not many years
her senior, and is said to be polished
and handsome man. Mrs. Gallatin was
a Miss Hayward, and is related to the
Cutting family also.
With Mrs. K oberts married to the
Earl of Arran, Europe will capture
three of our wealthiest and most beau
tiful widows, and they in return will
capture three of the finest titles in eX-
iStenCe.

TWO STAGE WASHERS.
Few Women Can Resist ManteII
and kyrle BeIieW.

No actor on the American stage re-
ceiveS so much attention from the fair
sex as Robert B. Mantell, writes a New
York correspondent. Scores of letters
come to him daily from girls and women
all stations in life. All sorts of plots
and plans are made to secure a nod of
recognition and a word from him
on the streets. Since the days of
lated that he received on an average
Of fifty letters day from his admirers,
no actor has made such havoc among
female hearts as has Mantell. Kyrle
Below, who was recently chased all
over the country by eccentric Miss
Coffin, presses Mantell very hard for
first place, but the methods of the two
men i'll this respect are entirely differ
ent. One seeks such notoriety and the
other does not, and one likes it, and to
Mantell it is diStaSteful. Mantell is
happily married. and his wife is usually
to be found in one of the stage dressing
rooms. When he first appeared in this
country he was paid S25 per week. In
two years from that time he was receiv-
ing $500 per week. He is one of the few
actors who alone can crowd his theaterS
at the matinees. Bellew can do it.
After his first season at Wallack' s, when
he was paid $500 per week, and just be-
fore the time for entering into new
contract was at hand, Lester Wallack
and the manager of the theater held
council of war. Neither of them liked
Bellew and they thought seriously of
not re-engaging him.
Lets give him fair chance" said
Wallack. We'll take four matinee
days-two with Bellew i'll the cast and
two without him.
They did so. Upon the first of these
designated days card at the box office
announced to those who wanted to pur-
chase tickets that Bellew was not in the
cast. The house was very slim. The
next week it was advertised that Mr..
Bellew would play Romeo. The re-
ceiptS from that matinee were 500.
Lester Wallack looked in upon the COM
fortably-seated audience, then went into
the box Office and saw the pile of bills
and silver, shrugged his shoulders,
picked up pen, signed new contract
with Bellew, and announced to those
around him: ''Any man who can draw
house like that at matinee is not to
be trifled with. Get him to sign this
contract before he leaves the theater."

mond, Va, the now famous Amelia
Rives. During early childhood she
lived at the home of her old grandfather,
Castle Hill, Albemarle county, Va, and
there she contracted an almost passion

and gained that familiarity with flowers,
fruits and all the beauties of nature
Which finds such frequent expression in
her writings When young girl her
father removed to Mobile, Ala, and,
though she grew to be fondly at
tached to the quaint Southern
town-making of its tropical growths,
the blue waters of its perfect bay, its
Southern skies and winds and bird-notes
the Italy of her imagination-yet the
long visits to Virginia from early spring
to the long lingering days of autumn
were the times of her greatest Joy. Be
fore she could write sentence she had
begun to draw, feeling her way patiently
through difficulty and ignorance, until
it suddenly dawned upon her family

ness. Miss Rives' proves in horse

AS a matter of fact she is an excellent
horSewoman, though not, as the gossips

jumping ive-barred gates as frequent

The latter quality is eXemplified in her
sixteenth century story, GA Brother to

written dramas, poems and stories
covering many pages of manuscript and
embracing a wide range of subjects,
from the deluge to our own time.

Children's parties of late years have
undergone great change. Formerly,
| when young people were assembled to-
| gether, it was thought sufficient to clear
large room and let them indulge in
the Old-faShiOned games of blind-man'S
| buff, post, family coach, hunt the slip
per, magic music, musical chairs and
such like merry and romping games,
which, with good tea and Sir Roger de
COverley danced afterward, was sup
| posed to form a delightful entertain
ment, says the London Queen. But now
all this is changed; rOmping games are
| put on one side.
The little boys and girls of the present
day are too well dressed to risk tearing
their pretty clothes. Children's parties
| are miniature copies of those of older
people, with the exception that some
form is adopted, either a Christmas
tree, bran pie. or any other vehicle for
the distribution of presents, that each
| little one may have something to take
home.
When all the little guests are arrived
they are generally entertained first with
either Punch and Judy show, marion
cites, a children'S play, magic lantern,
or some quiet amusement of that sort.
After tea dancing is resorted to, and the
Christmas tree or its substitute ends the
evening. Children like novelty. and any
| new form of entertainment, is eagerly
welcomed.
Parties for young people should never
| be lengthy affairs, as it is impossible to
keep them amused and happy for long
together, and early hours are most de-
Sirable, afternoon parties from till Z
or to.S being far more sensible than
later hours, when the eagerness of eX-
| f04i oh. 4I,yf g.,
| commences.
Refreshments at a juvenile party
should be simple, but number of bon
bons and crackers should always be

better for them.

Fashion Notes.

A pretty and picturesque spring cloak
is of terra Gotta cloth. 1t is made with
smooth-fitting yoke braided with many
wharls of narrow black braid; to this
yoke is gathered in the circular cloak
which is without sleeves, and falls to the
edge of the skirt. The back seam is
gored into the waist and then curves out
sharply to allow space for the tournure.
1t is fastened to the waist with ribbon
inside, and is heavily shotted on the
front edges to keep it from being blown
about by the wind.
A long, handsome wrap for an elderly
lady to wear during the spring is made
of brocaded black silk net. This is cut
in dolman shape, and reaches nearly to
the edge of the skirt, being lined with
silk whose warp is black and wool yell
low, and the sleeves, front, and the
opening up the back, edged with black
MORE ribbon eight inches wide. The
effect of the subdued yellow glow of the
silk through the black net while quiet is
eXtre mely rich.
