We see by the descriptions of the
dresses for tho approaching New York re
ceptions they do not partake of the sim
plicity advocated for street costumes, but
some are gorgeously trimmed with ex
pensive lacc, at an immense cont. Very
few persons can afford even one elegant
evening dress every season, or more often
than once in several seasons. Yet ro fre
quent are the changes in fashion, that
dress-maker* can scarcely follow them,
and a dress that has oostmuch sacrifice to
obtain will be old-fa e hioncd not only bo
fore it is worn out, but bolero it is put on.
White Chambory gauzo and grenadine
over dresses are tho favorites of the win
ter, iustead of the muslin ones so long
worn. These gauzes have satin stripes
over an inch wide, either white or in deli
cate blue or rose, and the filk skirt be
neath them must match thin stripe in
color, and istrimmed with pleated flounces
of the gauze, arranged so that a stripe
comes in each pleat. Blue is the most
prevalent color for evening dresses, and
is especially pretty under a bluo and white
striped gauze over dross, with tho pleat-
ings on the skirt showing tho blue stripes,
With such a dress garlands of roses of
various shades, from palest pink to docp
orimson, are very effective. Stripes are
also seen in other materials, such as silk
and velvet. A prptty style of basque for
evening dress is outjtquaro in front, with
tho postilion back. The neck is hoart
shaped, filled in with puffs of white tulle
crepe lisse. The sleeves end at tho
elbow, and are continued by puffs of tulle
or crepe to correspond with the n
dress prepared for receiving Now Year’s
calls is of plum blue silk,'made with waist
and skirt in ouo, iu tho princcsso stylo,
simply flounced around tho domi train
and up the aides to the bolt, while tho
plain front is merely ornamented with u
of steel buttons rut liko diamonds,
and very exponsivo. Tho back of the
skirt has a puli' at tho top and a flat sash.
Hal in is being used again in Paris for
trimming eveuing drosses, and is espe
cially pretty when used with tulle charla
tan.
NEW YKAU's DAY.
Now York city is all astir just now ovor
the approaching Now Year and its recep
tions. How to adorn thoir houses, wlmt
to wear, ami with what to refresh their
hundred and otto friends, is tho oil-
absorbing question of the duy. Daylight
must be excluded, aud gaslight substi
tuted. High noon will find half tho resi-
douces iu the city brilliantly illmuiuatod ;
every nook and ooruer will be tilled with
the choicest variety of flowers; tho air
will be perfumed with their delicate odor;
sweet strains of music will greot tho oar;
happy voices will ring through tho halls,
aud all will bo lovely. Mauceuventig ma
mas, stately matrons and giddy maidous
will sit iu stute to receive callers, or, iu
other words, will regularly and deliber
ately sot thomsolvos about putting in a
whole day of flirtations. Their lovo
display, admiration and flattery will be
fully gratified. Tho gentlemen, too
how exquisitely will they got thomsolvoH
Up ; how they will captivate and take all
hoarts by storm with their charming aud
fasciuatiug maimers; bow thoy will oxort
thomsolvos to do tho agreeable and amia
ble ou that day ; liow they will smile and
Ninilo again! Iu fact, it would appear
that Home men did up thoir smiling foi
the whole year in that 0110 day, judging
from their peevish nnd fault-finding
habits when in tho bosoms of their owu
familios, whoro they cun throw off thoir
masks aud bo themselves. And so the
day will eud, spout in introductions, com
pliments of tho day, expressions of un
bounded delight, aud leave-takings.
Boston, the hub of tho wnivorso, nnd
Philadelphia, tho greatest city iu the
Uuiou, have opened tho winter’s most
recherche nnd Holect enlortuinmoutu by
drinking tea. Gotham, us well as cities
of less pretension, that arc never found
behind tho times, should follow tho good
example, and hand tea, coffee and choco
late at thoir receptions. IIow much woro
pleasure there would ho in receiving one’s
friends when under tho bouign iuiluenco
of a good cup of tea ! Gentlemeu would
then bo gentlemen to tho end, and uot
tho simpering, swaggorlng, quarrelsome
things that they are when under tho influ
ence of wine, that ladies hand so hospi
tably and freely, never thinking of the
disgrace and misery they may ho bringing
on thoir best friends by what they con
sider ukindnoss. It is a social crime, long
ago established, and has brought disgrace
and blot upon many a promising youth—
destroying his capabilities, vitiating his
tastes, and destroying his moral, intel
lectual and social qu lilies. How many
young men will this year take their first
stop into fashionable society, and perhaps
be led astray by tho first glass of wine
offered by the hand of a charming nnd
accomplished young lady, who, could sho
foresee the future misery brought ub ut
by it would shudder ! Ho, if you wish to
be fashionable, take “your very good
health" iu coffee, or tho very latest —tea

That Chet
Tlio custom of mooting together
friends ou the first day of the year, tl
iuterohnugo of oongratulutious, and v
oewing of friendships, lire of tbeiusolv
beautiful; but, whon ending iu liotons
dissipation, uutUtiug men for socii
business, and tho duties of life, it is
good.
Happy, indeed, are thosg who ©an 1
back through tho past year aud see a it
tilude of useful works, and prououuce it
a well spent year. What ean gi
true happiness than to linger iu the past
nnd see it filled with generous actions and
uoble charities; to have the conscious-
uess of kuowing that you have at least
made one sad heart lighter and happier for
having lived iu the world!
Death and sorrow have visitod many
homes ; many look back ou bereavements,
sore sfllictione, heart-rending separations
and bitter disappointments. Many have
had pinching poverty to contend with ;
their homes have been bleak and baro ;
Mckr.es* and sorrow have almost crushed
them. But do not lei us despoiul, but
trust steadfastly in Him who doeth ell
things well, who sympathizes with tho
sorrowing aud comforts tho dowucast and
broken in spirit; and, as we stand on the
threshold of a new year, let us dedicate
ourselves anew to Him, and nerve our
selves to nobler deeds and highor aspire-
tions, and with cheerful hoarts and busy
hands wo will press onward and upward.

od to rofor the matter to the first per-j standing by « ditch thirteen feet wide,
nun they met, who happened to bo an , which they didn't know how to cross,
Irishman, aud who confounded both by ( when their escort cried “snakes," and

Not All Lost.—A bankrupt merchant,
returning home one night, said to his no
ble wife :
“My dear, I am ruined ; everything wo
have is in tho hands of tho {Sheriff Y"
After a fow moments of silence, the
wife looked into his face and said :
“Will tho Sheriff sell yon ?”
“Oh, no.”
“Will the Sheriff sell me ?”
“Oli, no.”
“Will tho Sheriff sell tho children ?"
“Oh, no.”
“Then do not say we have lost every
thing. All that, is most valuable remains
to us—manhood, womanhood, childhood.
Wo have lost but the results of our skill
and industry. Wo can make another for
tune if our hoarts and hands aro left us !”
—American Working People.
“Provoke not Your Children to
Wrath.”—Do parents know that thoy
may alienate the affection and respect of
thoir children from thorn forever? Do
they know that such surely will bo tho
effect of poovish, harsh, unreasonable
deportment toward thorn? We can recall
throo instances in which we said to par
ents, “ 1 hut child will repay you for those
cruel words. Justus soou as it is physi
cally able to resist you, it will disobey
you, porlmps insult you,’’ and in every
instance wo saw it verified. Govorn your
children firmly, kindly, gently, but be
ware of a rasping tongue, un augry blow,
a tyrannical command. Those evil things
will re-bound upon you whon you nro
least able to suff er tho pain they inflict.—
Interior.
Idle Days.—Tho days wo call idlo
oomotimes produce as much eventual
Htreugth as is dcrivod by vegetable growth
from tho fields lying fallow, or from the
winter repose of tho tree. Wo walk tho
floor, wo opon book after book, we read a
little, write a little, muse u little, and in
tho evening condemn ourselves for want
of diligoncc, perhaps justly, so far as tho
motive is concerned. Yet iu nothing am
I surer than that this very process re
sults in snliHoquout energy. Especially
whon 1 consider that those who huvu those
lapses on certain occasions aro at
others outplayed for hours, or oven days
together, at tho very stretch of all thoir
powers. In a studious lifo, if the seholur
did not leavo his formal, prescribed track,
and expatiate, as it woro, at random, to
pick up the scattered, variegated, un-
cluHsod flowers of common, and even lit
tle truths, ho would fail to have his mind
filled with a thousand things which, how-
evor heterogeneous nt first, go through
the digesting nnd assimilating procoss,
become tho material for future argument,
or furuihli embellishment, illustration, or
example. Casting ourselves on Provi
dence, in studios as in nil things else, we
find ourselves led by wayH that wo know
not.—l)r. J. IV. Alexander.
An Apt Title.—In view of tho self-dis-
trust of many iu ntlomptiug the organiza
tion of missionary societies, uud of tho
marked success of those who tried (says
tho Advance, in itH report of the last
meeting of tho Woman’s Board, at Ha-
cine j, ouo lady sent a wavelet of laughter
through tho room by the quaint romnrk
that wore sho to writo a tract the titlo
would bo, “Mho hath done what she
thought she couldn’t.”
Pauis, Ky.—Upwards of two hundred
and sixty tiogroos woro baptized in Puris
ou thanksgiving day.
OOMENT1U REC'IFEN.
Corn Meal Flapjacks.—One quart of
mr or butter-milk; two eggs, bouton
light; one tonspoonful of salt; one tea-
spoonful of soda, dissolved in hot water;
two tablospoonfuls of molasses; ono tn-
blenpooului of lard, melted; ono-balf cup
of flour. Meal to make u batter a triilo
thicker thnn flannel cakes.

swoot potatoes—tho firm yellow ouos nro
best.; one-half cup of butter; three-
quarters of a cup of whitu sugar; ono
tabloHpoouful of cinnamon; ono tea-
spoonful of nutmeg; four eggs, whites
aud yolkH beaten separately ; one lemon
juice nnd riud, and a glass of brandy
Parboil tho potatoes, aud grato them
whon quite cold. If grated hot they aro

rioe ; ono pint of flour; two eggs;
quart of milk, or enough to make thin

ter ; one tonspoonful of salt. Beat hard,

liisKN Corn Bread.—Mix a tolerably
stiff dough of corn meal and boiling wn
tor, a little salt, nnd a tablospoonful of
butter. Lot it stand four or five hours,
until light; make into small loaves, aud
bnko rnthor quickly.
N enibon' Fakiry.—This is a name dear
to tho hoart of the Englishman, sinci
days whon Friar Lu-k feasted tho dis
guised Cieur do Lion upon it in the depths
of Sherwood Forest, until the present
generation. In this country it is i
parutivoly little known; but 1 recommend
it to those who have never yet beer, able
to make venison “eatable.” Almost any
part of the door can bo used for tho pur-
pose. Cut the raw venison from tho
bones nnd sot aside these, with the skin
fat and refuse bits, for gravy. .Put th'
into a saucepan, with a shallot, pepper,
salt, nutmeg and sweet herbs, cover
with cold wator, nnd set on to boil.
Meanwhile cut the better and fairer piec
of meat into squares an inch long, aud
nook in auuthur saucepan until three
quarters done. Line a deep dish with
good puff* paste. That for the lid should
be made after the receipt appended to
this. Put in tho squares of venison,
sun with pepper, salt and butter, and put
in half a cupful of the liquor in which
tho meat was stewed, to keep it from
burning at the bottom. Cover with a lid
of tho prepared pastry an inch thick
Cut a round hole iu the middle, nnd if
you have not a small tin cylinder that will
tit this, make one of huttoiod paper. The
hole should be large enough to admit
your thumb. Buko stondily, ooveriugtho
top w ith a sheet of clean paper so soou as
it is firm, to provent it from browning too
fast. While it is cooking prepare the
gravy. Whon all tho substance has been
extracted from the bones, etc., throw’ the
liquor back into the saucepan, let it come
to a boil, nnd when you have skimmed
carefully add a glass of Port wine, i
blospoonful of butter, the juice of a
lemon, aud some browned flour to thicken.
Boil up ouoo, remove tho plug from the
hole in tho pastry, aud pour iu through a
small funuoi, or a paper horn, as much
gravy as tho pio will hold. Do this very
quickly, brivdi the crust over with beaten
egg, and put luck in tho oven until it
delicate brown, or rather u golden russet.
Tho pio should only bo drawn to the door
of the oven for these operations, and
everything should bo in readiuess bofore
it is tskou out, that tho crust may be light
aud flaky.

THE CASH 8YSTEM IRREVOCABLY ADOPTED.
OFFICE OF THE COLUMBUS ENQUIRER, )
* Columbus, Ga., October 16,1873. )
TO THE PUBLIC:
The promise made and tbo course marked out by myself wkei
assumed charge of the Enquiher, I have tried faithfully to carr
out; and, as an additional evidence of my desire to build up a pape:
worthy of this city and State, I have decided to spare neither tim
nor money in order to make a good paper and place it within thi
reach of all. The Sunday Enquirer is a new feature in this entcrl
prise, and a much needed one. Many of our mechanics and farmers]
who arc unable, from a want of menus to subscribe, or time to read,
do not take a daily paper ; and the regular weeklies do not suppl
them with the latest news, combined with fresh and interesting in
formation in literature, science and art. The Sunday Enquire
will fill this void ; for, in addition to the telegraphic and editorial
matter now given in tho daily, issued on Sunday, it will contain
series of charming historical novels, WRITTEN KXI’RKSSLY for IT b
author whoso stories in other serial weeklies command tub
highest PRICE. These stories for the coming year will treat of thi
early days of Georgia and Alabama, and will bo of thrilling intoresi
to all who read thorn—more particularly to those living in the State'
named. Besides, it will have well-selected sketches of travel am
poetry, and*Household and Fashion Departments. I am making ar
rangements with a Northern house for the supply of illustrations,
which will make a decided addition to the value of this great j
and correspondence will come to it, specially, from all points of in
terest.
The Sunday Enquirer will he served without extra charge to thi
regular subscribers of the Daily, vis, for EIGHT dollars per annum!
payable invariably in ADVANCE. When taken alone its price will
be two dollars and fifty cents per annum, which will mako i
the cheapest paper of its class in the country. To those who no
take the Weekly Enquirer, it can bo made a most valuable adjunci
Indeed The Sunday Enquirer becomes a necessity, particularly i
view of the extarordinary inducements held out, for I propose dh
tributing in the Opera House, in this city,
Clfts to the Amount of Five Thousand Dollars
to the subscribers OF THE ENQUIRER, during the coming holiday!
The following plan has been decided on, and tbe subscriber wi
see that in addition to his paper, which will be more than worth thi
price of subscription, a beautiful ciiromo, that retails for thr.
dollars, will be given, in addition, to each subscriber, with
ticket that will give him a chance to draw a premium worth flft
times tho amount subscribed :
One subscription to Daily §8 00, with 4 tickets and ckromol
Threo months “ 2 00, “ 1 “ “
One year Sunday 2 50, “ 1 “ "
One year Weekly 2 00, “ 1 “ “
One year Sunday and Weekly 3 00, “ 2 “ “
These tickots will bo drawn at the Opera House, in the present
of our city officials, during the Christmas week. They will b
regularly registered at tliiH office and sent to any address on the re
ceipt of subscription, and in no event will they be sent unlesi
all arrearages are paid, in addition to the subscription, in ad
Vance. But those who have already paid in advance will be en
titled to tickets.

10 §10 Cash Premiums 100 00
In addition to the above valuable premiums there will be distribu
ted BOOKS AND PICTURES to the amount of $3,000 00. It will
be seen from the foregoing that I am determined to spare no ex
pense to bring THE ENQUIRER before the people, and that I have
put aside all thought of immediate profit. It is my purpose to have
annual distributions of premiums to my subscribers so that auy per
son subscribing after tho new year will have a chance in the distri
bution that,follows.
All tho present subscribers who have not paid in the amounts due
by the 15th of November, proximo, will be dropped from the list
and their accounts placed in the hands of a collector. During
tho Summer months 1 sent the paper gladly to those who were short
of money, and I feel sure that they will come to my assistance now,
and see the necessity that compels me to this course.
No club rates can be offered in view of tlic great amount that will
bo necessary to purchase premiums, but where agents act I will al
low liberal commissions.
More than ever will the Enquirer be a splendid advertising me
dium, and our business men should appreciate our enterprise by
showing theirs promptly.
I reassert again that the course of the Enquirer will be thoroughly
independent, and that no effort will bo spared on my part to present
the advantages of the South to capitalists and emigrants. To help
to build up an impoverished country, not to strengthen any party,
shall be my object, and should I live to sec the grand material re
sources of this country developed my pride will be greater than
any political triumph could give. I will watch and loster the cause
of the Granges, while they work for the interest of tho planter. I
expect iu this course to make mistakes, but they will be of tho head,
not of the heart, and I will ever hold myself ready to do justice to
tlic wronged.
All remittances should be made by draft, money order or registered
letter. I cannot be responsible for money sent by mail.
Vory respectfully, yours,
-A.. ZRi. C^LKLOXJJST,
Editor and Proprietor of the Columbus Enquirer.
STIPULATION.—To insure the complete distribution I must
have the 5,000 tickets issued, and of this 1 have but little doubt. If
the whole number is not subscribed, each subscriber will have a
ticket and a chrome under any event, and a chance at a proportion
of tho premiums, made by a Committee of citizens from my books.
At tho second distribution I hope to make tho premiums in the
aggregate worth Thirty Thousand Dollars.
