The vexed controversy concerning
crinoline, which has been raging in the
papers of late, is due to the dearth OF
fashion news rather than to actual
facts. Whilst newspaper fashion writ
ers have busted themselves discussing
the appalling consequences ofthe revival
of the hoop skirt in Paris, and whilst
the influence of the Princess of Wales
has been appealed to, to stand as bar
rier against this coming threatening
event, the leading dressmaking houses
of the French capital have not yet made
single crinoline for any of their GUS
toners. All there is to be said on the
subject is that the several pretty novel
models of skirts coming from Paris are,
as a general rule, fiat around the waist,
with considerable fullness at the bottom.
La order to thoroughly comprehend the
actual tendency of fashion and to get
reliable information as to the best way
of securing fine models of these stylish
skirts, one must consult the Mcdowell

during the last administration, with but
a single exception, has met all require
ments. One vessel has been found to be
top heavy, a ia lit that can be easily rem
edied, while a. to all the others not a
single defect has been discovered. AS
ex-Secretary Tracy said In a recent adj
dress, the most important enterprise the
United States government ever under
took was the rebuilding of the navy. Ten
years ago not one man in one thousand
could he induced to believe that the Uni
ted States could build a modern warship.
We have now satisfied the nations of the
world that not one of them can produce
better ships-better men Of war than
this country. No nation In the world,
said the ex-secretary, has three such
ships in its navy as the New York, Co
or Olympia, in regard to speed
and other qualities. Nothing can ap-
proch them. Moreover, we have taught
the world how to make an armor plate
that can beat the gun, and We have also
the world that the triple screw is
as much in advance of the double screw
as two screws are in advance of one.
What has been accomplished warrants
confidence in what is to come.

no" u 11elAdFeu.
At 6 p. IN. dinner was announced,
when we all sat down in apparent good
spirits, and u actions declared our 2p-
petites fully equal to those spirits. Gen
eral BOnaparte ate of most dishes on the
table, using his fingers instead of a fork,
seeming to prefer the rich dishes to the
plainly dressed food and not even tasting
vegetables. Claret was his beverage,
which he drank out Of a tumbler, keep
ing the bottle before him.
He conversed the whole of dinner time,
combining his conversation principally tC
the admiral, with whom he talked over
the whole of the Russian campaign and
Cttributed the failure of it in the first
instance to the burning of Moscow, in
the next to the frost setting in much
sooner than was expected. He said he
meant only to have refreshed his troops
for four or five days, and then to have
pushed on for St. Petersburg, but find
ing all his plans frustrated by the burn
ing of Moscow, and his army likely to
perish, he hurried back to Paris, setting
out with a chosen bodyguard, one-half
of which were frozen to death the first
night.
He said nothing could be more horri-
Die than the retreat from Moscow, and
indeed the whole of the Russian cam
paign; that for several days together it
appeared to him as if he were marching
through a sea of fire, owing to the con
slant succession of villages in flames,
which arose in every direction as far as
the eye could reach. He said the burn
ing of these villages as we'll as of Mos
COW was attributed to his troops, but
that it was invariably done by the ma.
tives.
After dinner he did not drink wine,
but he took a glass of noyau after his
coffee, previous to rising from the table.
After dinner he walked the deck, con
versing principally with the admiral,
to whom he said, during this CONVEX
satlOn, that previous to his going to
Eliza he had made preparations for hav-
ing a navy of a hundred sail of the line;
that he had established a CONSUMPTION
for the navy, and that the Toulon fleet
was entirely manned and brought for
ward by people of this description; that
he had ordered them positively to get
under way and maneuver every day the
weather would permit, and to OCCASION
ally exchange long shots with our ships;
that this had been demonstrated against
by those about him, and it had cost him
much money to repair the accidents
which occurred from the want of mari
time knowledge, such as ships getting
foul of each other, splitting their sails,
springing their masts, etc, but he found
this tended to improve the crews, and
he determined to persevere in his plan.
After walking for some time he pro-
posed a round game at cards, in compli-
ance with which the admiral, Sir George
Bingham, Captain Ross and myself as
sembled with General Bonaparte and his
followers Ill the after cabin, where we
played at ving-tun sic, which was the
game chosen by the ex-emperor, till
nearly II o'clock, when we all retired to
our beds.-Century.
