To be a wt-ll-di eased woman, as the world goes, is the great ambition of every female who lays a claim to social distinction. To be fsste, yet not flashy; to be elegantly attired, yet eUd within the boundaries which divide respectability from the acknowledged follies of worldly frailties; to cater to the aesthetics of dreea, and not indulge in that which out rages decency, is something whioh woman hopes to attain, and whicb it requires the utmost caution to assume. The fashionable woman’s heart is given to dreaa; her life is de voted to the latest modes.

Grady ia a diamond broker, and generally goes with about $30,000 or $40,000 worth of those gems in his pocket. He carries them very loosaly, handles them oarelamiy, and occasionally drops $5,000 or $8 000 worth In the street. He dropped $6,- 000 worth in Court street about a year ago, and had to give a zewsrd of $1,000 to get them back. On tbe 12th of November he dropped $8,000 worth of these precious rtones near the Fulton Ferry, while be was chasing one of tbe Fnlton street cars. When he discovered his loss be swore at himself, called himself all the careless vagabonds be could think of, and declared he would never trust himself (gain with diamonds as far as be ooald see himself. Alter hunting the street over where be supposed he drop ped the jewels without being able io discover them, he wanted somebody to kick him. He thought if somebody would just give him a good kicking he would feel better. Upon cool ing off^ however, he offered a reward af $1,500. Alter a week or two had passed he began to think be was not likely to get bis property back. When he had about given up all hope he ran aorose a newsboy named Smith, who said he saw Officer Grant, of the Second pre cinct, pick up the package containing the dia- moods. He made an affidavit to the act and Grady went for Grant. Grant denied having pioked np the diamonds, but told Grady that he thongbt he coaid get them for him. Gra dy’s hopes began to brighten, and he offered Grant as he says, $500, bat Grant is alleged to have said that $1,000 would come nearer to tbe mark. Then he saw tbe rewaru and told Grady that he shoald want the foil amount. $1,500. Grady left him without being able to get his diamonds. He then received a letter from a lawyer named Crook who told him he might be able to easist him in getting his dia monds. Grady saw Crook, but was unable at the first interview to get tbe diamonds or to discover who had them. Grady began to get uneasy, sod finally shook the $1.530at the lawyer, whereupon the diamonds, with the exeepticnofa lady a duster pin. were dto- duoed. Now Grady makee an affidavit to the effect that there was, as he believes, an effort on the part of tbe lawyer, the officer and anoth er party to deprive him of his property. Gra dy, therefore, obtained tbe following injuno Uon from the Superior Court restraining the lawyer from disposing ot the reward until far ther orders from the oonrt New York Supreme Court, Kings Co., si James G. Grant, John Doe and Abel Crook.— On the amended affidavit and complaint to be served herein, and on such lurther affidavits as may be served before end read on the argu ment herein, let the defendants or their at torneys show cause before me, one of the Justices of this Court at Chambers thereof, in the County Court House, citv of Brooklyn, on the 7th day of Deoember, 1874, at 10 a. m of said day, why the defendant Abel Crook shoald not be enjoined Irom paying over or disposing of to any ptrson or persons tbe snm of $1,500 deposited with him by John D.

The lining of the sleeves is coat-shaped, covered with lengthwise puffs of tbe material, divided by narrow piped bands. EVENING TOILETS. Eganing toilets of silky pink lane.

Through the politeness ot the proprietor* of an establishment which has the foremoet reputation in tbe city as en emporium where the latest and most taehionable styles of Renta’ furnishing goods can be obtained, we gleaned some interesiir g facts in regard to what the boys moat wear. Among the novelties dis played was e variety of nobby smoking jack ets.

A TALK WIIHSANTA ANNA- THE OLD MAN BV.LATBS SOUS OF TUT. INCIDENTS OF BIS EARLY LIFE. A letter from the City of Mexico,Oct. 20, to the Ban Francisco Chronicle contains the fol lowing: Since writing to yon last, I have succeeded through the influence of Gen. Martinez in ob taining an interview with the old Mexican he ro, Santa Anna. I eame to Mexico with tbe impression that he was dead, and have beau wondering since how maoy Californian* know that he is still alive and likely to be lor ten years to coma The old man lives very quiet ly now, and receives little company. The fact that he is almost universally despised by bis oountrymen causes him to shun them; and for the same reason it is much easier lor foreigner to obtain access to bis private parlors than fora Mexican. He unliving at present in an old-fashioned Spanish bouse on Vergara street, and although he is said to be poor, he has aboat him not only the com forts but m&ny ot tbe luxuries of life. Five o’clock in the afternoon was the hour sp rinted lor our call, and at that time Cot 080, an intimate friend of the General, re ceived us iu tbe court and conducted ns up a flight of stone stairs into a long comtortably- furnisbed room fronting on the street. A pi ano stood in one corner, and several pieces ot statuary, and a few pictures here acd there about tbe room, displayed a quiet taste. At one end of the room bung a magnificent and life-sized paiuting of a woman in full Spanish costume. It was taken forty years ago, when the subject was Santa Anna’s bride. She must have been very beautiful then, il tne pioture is (rue, for there is a wonderful charm in the dark, sad eyes. We bad been seaed but a moment when a side door open ed and Santa Anna himself stepped into the room. Instead of the gray old man that we had ex pected to see, an upright Boldierly figure stood before us, acd we noticed that in spite ol bis wooden leg he walked with ease and without the assistance of cane or crutch. Santa An nas eye is still black as a coal, aDd his hair, although thin, has not yet turned gray. There is a kindly expression in his lace that is strangely at variance with the dark tales that blot his history ; acd as he leceived each odc of us with some pleasant remark aud a cordi al clasp ol his soit, woman’s hand, we could hardly realize that the man before us was the author of so many bloody scenes. "Be seated gentlemen,” he said, after we had stood a few moments : “I have yonr ohaiis drawn cloe. ly together hire so that I can hear yon.” He tnrned and walked to a sofa beneath tne picture of his wile and sat down. It was in sealing himself that the in firmities of his age showed themselves more conspicuously. The false limb troubled him then, and as he was obliged to extend it out very carefully before him. He threw his right leg across, as if to conceal it, and sat straight upright. Daring tbe whole hoar that we were with him he did notlean back or change his position. Santa Anna’s mind is still clear, bnt the drift of his conversation shows that he livee almost altogether in the past He loves to talk of his own exploits, and the accuracy with which he gives dates and particulars of events which have been in history tor over half a century is remarkable. He asked many questions about tbe United States, and among others the nr me ot our President, which he Had forgotten. He alluded to the time when he was the guest ol Gen. Jackson in the White House, and ilaughed as he re called some little embarrassing eirciumstances into which his inability to speak English placed him. Some one inquired after his hea 1th. * 'Mexico never did agree with me," be replied; "I am troubled with| catarrh, and the atmosphere here is too rarefied. . I am al rays better on the coast, where I was bom." “ Do you not weary sometimes of this se clusion,” we inquired, “after the active life you have led ?” “You see I am growing old now.” he ans wered, with a smile that bad something ot sadness in it; “since 1821, when 1 declared the independence of the republic, I have seen a great deal.” Tbe allusion to the past seemed to revive all its memories, and, without being asked, be commenced a sketch of his early life, and of the many political events in whicu he had bore so prominent a part. In alluding to the establishment of the Republic, he said : “ I did not know what a republic was. Itur- bide had just concluded a treaty with tbe Spaniards, and his friends in Mexico had made him Emperor. I was a young man of twenty-four tiltn. I bad a volcanic head—1 cared for nothing, feared nothing. With 300 men under my command 1 had acquired con siderable reputation along tbe Gan in oar war with Spain, and now my followers came around me and asked me to declare a republic in place of the monarchy which Iturbide had established. ■ But what is a repnblic ?' I asked. " Viva la Bepubliea !’ tbey shunted. •Well, you fools,’ I thought, ‘if you will have a Republic we will all go off in searoh of one.’ And so I led them against.Iturbide. Poor Iturbide," he said after a while, “I had to overcome motives of personal friendship in making war on his government; and how I cried when 1 heard ot his unhappy death at Tampico." For tbr e-quarters of an hour tbe old man ran on irom event to event without an inter ruption, and by that time it bad become so dark in the room that we oonld scarcely see his face. Santa Anna is very forcible in bis talk, and although he is now over seventy- eight years old, his black flashing eyes show that the fires of earlier years are not yet all spent. In speakiog he is very much annoyed by a bad fitting set of teetb, and the deafness which is coming over him in later years, would mike conversation a laboroua task but for bis willingness to carry the principal share of it. He took leave of na with many kind wishes, and the customary Mexican courtesy to always consider bis bouse our home.

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY FLOUR DEPOT Wife' OF THB AGE. [From the Covington (Ky.) Advertiser.] There is at present in the Widows' and Or phans’ Home, of this city, an old lady whose History is a romance of real life. Her name is Mrs. Catherine Appel, and she was born in Winchester, Frederick county, Ya., in Janu&iy 1788, and will consequent}- be ninety-two years old next Jann&ry. Her father's name was John Kelly. He ran away from home in England, and served through the Revolution! y war, crossing tne Delaware twice on the ice wiih the army under Washington. He was also in tho trenches at Yorktown when Corn wallis surrendered. During the war, being in the infantry, a British cavalryman was about to strike him with a sabre, and would doubt* le-s have Killed him, when be looked up, and a mutual recognition instantly took place. He had met his brother, and tbey were on oppo site sides. The tide of battle separated them before tbey had time to more than exchange salutations, and they never met again. Mr. Kelley afterwards learned that his brother had been sent with some British troops to Booth j Carolina to operate against Marion. After the close of the war Miss Catharine j Kelley married Samuel Montjoy, ami the en tire family moved to Kentncbey. That w s seventy-five years ago last March. On their wasfrom Virginia to the West tbey built a boat at Brownstowu old fort,and came down the river. Stopping at Pittsburg, they saw Louis Philippe, of France, and many French noble men. Landing at May »vtlle( then Limestone), tbey came through the vicinity of Pans on the road to Lexington, and settled there, where Mrs. Montjoy’s father was afterward killed by the Indians, leaving her mother with several small children. Mr. Montjoy was also killed at Winchester’s defeat of tne Maumee. Tbe family soon moved irom their first location to Leech’s station in Campbell county, wheie Airs. Leech, who afterwards became the wife of General Taylor, was .hen living. The other parties who came down the river with the family went on below Maysville, and were massacred by the Indians. Mrs. Montjoy, some time alter the death ot her husband, married a Mr. Appel, with whom she lived fifty-four.years, when belied one year ago last may, in Marion county, Ind., alter an illness of two years and six months. The pro longed dlness of her husband consumed in necessary expenses about all tbelittls prop erty they had, aud left ihe widow almost pea- niless at the advanced age of ninety years. She sold what effects she had, and, notwith standing her age, she came to Kentucky, and shortly after returned, colltcted the money on the sales, paid the debts left by her husband, put a tombBton6 over his grave, and returning to Kentucky, located in Boone county, near Florence, leaving there a few months ago to enter the Widow’s and Orphans’ Home. Mrs. Appel has evidently been a woman oi strong mind, and with an iron will and con stitution has borne np under the trials and hardships that beset the lives of the early pi oneers of Kentucky, with family losses and la bors that would have broken down a more fragile and less determined woman. She was of tne stuff our grandmothers were made of. During her life with Mr. Appel she reared and educated several young ladies, among them six of her husband s grand children, sending them two at a time to the well-known school of Miss Martha Thomas, Cincinnatti. During a part ot the same time, also she kept a hotel at" Oxford, Ohio, where William Lyle, of Pans, tbe Wickliffs, Robert Scnenck and others, since grown distinguished in too political world, boarded with her while going to’oollege. She has seen and talked with the pi' oneer Daniel Booueandhad previously, iu her childhood, seen Washington when, during his second candidacy for the Presidency, he visi ted Winchester, Va., accompanied by John Adams, Thos. Jefferson, James Madison, Gens. Greene, Lee, Morgan, Ac. She describes the scene of the visit as a grand ovation to tho ‘‘Father of his country.” Her grand mother was an English lady’ who taught the first female school ever taught in Virginia, and her two uncles brought over from Lon don the first spelling books ever imported into the State—it is said they were the first ever brought into the United States. Mrs. Appel says that she is not ashamed of being at the Home, and is not at all unhappy about it, but it should bs a matter ot pride with our citizens to see that a woman with her recollections, extending back into the purer and brighter days and amoug the fathers of the Republic, and her varied history and many trials, is well taken care of and made comfor table in her old age.
