MISCELLANEOUS.
.SARATOGA.
A Wholesome Change in Wo
men's Dress.
It is a strange thing that fash
ionable dressing has almost ceased
at Saratoga. I can remember the
time when young ladies came here
with ten or twelve trunks and ap
peared in anew morning and anew
evening dress every day for three
weeks. When they reached the
last new dress they never repeated
before a Saratoga audience, but
went to Newport or Long Branch
and ground them through again.
I knew two young Baltimore belles
once who, on arriving at Saratoga,
found their toilet trunks missing,
and they kept their rooms in almost
solitary confinement for five days,
and finally left in sorrow rather
than appear a second time in the
same toilet. A .sveqk afterward
they returned to Saratoga and
stayed until they had appeared in
as many as fifteen different lull
dress toilets—each toilet with dif
ferent lace, fans, jewelry and kid
shoes to match. In those times
from IS6O to 1867—it was no un
common thing to see sweeping the
balconies dozens of dresses covered
with point and Valenciennes lace
costing ? 1,500, The belles of New
York and Buffalo and Chicago and
Cincinnati vied with the more dash
ing belles from Louisville and Bal
timore and other cities of the South.
WHAT A CHANGE !
The mode in Saratoga this suip
mer (1875) is not to dress. I do
not think ten full-dress party
dresses have appeared in Saratoga
this season, and these have been
worn by brides or dashing young
ladies from California or the West.
People come to Saratoga nowa
days more for social intercourse
and rest. They do not come to
stun each.other with expensive toil
ets and nobby tandem teams. Man
aging mothers {come to mako ac j
quaintances, young ladies come to
fiirt and catch rich husbands, and
old bachelors come to win fortunes
with rich widows. Now and then
they will take charge of an old
maid, if her parents are wealthy
and they can have the assurance
that their future wives will support
them as a gentleman should be sup
ported.
NEWEST STYLES.
The newest styles in Saratoga
were introduced by the Countess
d’ . The CouDtess comes fresh
from Pans, and is affected by Mr.
Belmont and the Turkish Ambas
sador She appears on the States
balcony with her hair neglige—
dropping behind the head in an old
fashioned waterfall, secured by a
silk net. In fact, fashionable
young ladies now wear their hair in
the style of the dairymaids up in
St. Lawrence county or like the
waiter girls on Cherry street.
The skirt of the Countess is worn
exceedingly short in front—say six
inches from the floor. The skirt
sticks out and shows striped stock
ings. Behind is a demi-train. The
striped stocking fever has attacked
all the young ladies in Saratoga
bad. Even many married ladies
have got it. They say it makes
their calves look large. I know it
makes many calves look long and
attentively—especially if the young
lady is plump and pretty and af
fects the short dress front.
BUSTLES.
Bustles behind have got to he
stupendous. They are narrow and
extend back about eighteen inches
away beyond the capacity of any
newspaper. I have saved up The
Sun for eight weeks, hoping to be
able to meet Mrs. Perkins’ require
lU ICOUl'v L\J <\u C'Ul'pCjr
Daily she sings in her room :
I am a young woman named P.,
My bustla is bigger than me.
Ilubbie, dear, I did find
The times I was behind,
So I just put the Times behind me.
Going to meet Flora McFlimsy.
NELLIE grant’s ESCAPE
Speaker Blaine met Sara Cox
yesterday and said :
“I tell you what, Sam, they had
a close escape down there at the
Branch, didn’t they ?”
“Who—what?” asked Sara.
“Why Nellie Grant and Sarto
ris—just escaped by the skin of
their teeth.”
“Escaped what, Blaine ?”
“Why, they iust escaped having
twins.”
“You don’t say so, Blaine ! llow
near’d they come to it?” exclaim
ed Mr. Cox.
“Why, they got within one of it,
Sam,” replied the Speaker in the
most impressive manner. “One
more boy would have done it.”

“Agtu Redemption.”
Apropos of the present financial
wrangle, a letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial revives the following
story :
I was reminded of a story which
Robert Toombs, of Georgia, tells.
It has been related once in the
Commercial,but will bear repeating.
During the financial crisis of 1857
a countryman came to Toombs
with a tale of distress.
“Wo must havo more money,”
he said, “or we are ruined.”
“Ilow in the devil are you go
ing to get more money ?” asked the
profane Toombs
“Let the State Bank print it,”
replied the countryman.
“Well, when that’s gone what
will you do?” asked Toombs.
“ Let the bank print more,” re
plied the countryman, who had
ideas of his own on finance.
“But how is all this money to be
redeemed ?” asked Toombs, think
ing he had his rural friend cor
nered at last.
“That’s the point,” answered
the countryman; “ you see I'm
agin redemption."’
THE DOT AT TIIE
FOUNTAIN.
A startling Tale that He Told
tw a Poor Old
who was Thirsty.
[Detroit Free Press,
lie w a 3 rinsing the glasses when the
old lady entered tly store. It was hot
weather, and the soda fountain looked
so tempting that she conquered her
avarice and walked over and told the
boy that she would take a glass.
‘Do you wish for a fly it; it V he in
quired in a whisper.
‘ A fly ? grashus ! no!’ she replied
a look of disgust on her face.
‘Just as you say, ntadam,’ he went
on as lie drew some lemon syrup. ‘Peo
ple are so different in tastes, you know.
Some objects to fDes and some don’t-
I’ll mix some pineapple syrup with this
lemon, and now will you have a great
deal of gas and a little water, or a good
deal of water and a little gas V
‘ I’m put ty thirsty,’ she said.
‘Well, then you want more water
than gas, and there won’t be so much
danger of an explosion.’
‘ Explosion ?’ she queried.
‘That was the word, madam. We
have had but a few accidents here this
summer, and I truly hope that we may
have no more.’
1 Does soda water blow up folks ?’ she
asked.
‘ That depends cn the state cf their
health. Some persons could stand here
and drink all day, while others might
get the glass tipped up this way, and
boom ! they’ll go !’
‘Rust?’
‘ Yes’m—fly into a thousand pieces.
You never saw a human being explode,
did you ?’
‘ Mercy, no!’
‘ Well, you don’t have the least warn
ing. They may be laughine' < j>r talk U'lG
false hair( monogram garters, bustles,
corsets, feet, teeth, and rolled plate
jewelry. It makes a great muss
around here, and if we hadn’t three of
the smartest negroes in town to pick up
and sweep out we’d have to shut up the
store for a whole afternoon after an ex
plosion.’
lie stood with the glass in his hand
agitating the syrup and waiting, and
she said :
‘ I didn’t suppose it was dangerous
stuff.’
‘ Well, as I told you, it depends od
the state of the system. If your liver
is torpid and your digestion impaired
one glass of soda water would blow you
higher than Gilderoy’s kite, and the
coroner would be lueky to find as much
as your spectacles to hold an inquest
on. If your system is all right, you
might drink a hundred glasses and feel
no disastrous effects. Now, then, you’ll
have a good deal of water and but little
gas, eh V
She made a deprecatory motion and
asked :
‘ llow’s the stuff’ made ?’
‘ Well, I can’t go on and explain all
the process. There’s marble dust,acid,
gas, sugar-coated pills, giant powder,
cologne water and kerosene all mixed
together and then distilled The dis
tilled liquid is placed in a retort, where
a chemical action separates it, and the
gas forces it up in separate pipes.’
‘Kerosene and pills !’ she gasped.
‘ That’s what I said, madam. You
look innocent and honest, and I hope
you won’t say anything about it. I
tend this fountain in order to support a
widowed mother and seven fatherless
children. If you should say anything
I’d-be discharged, and if I were dis
charged I should commit suicide. You
have plenty of water, eh V
‘ No, sir, I won’t,’ she replied. ‘Do
you suppose I’d drink acids and kero
sene?’
• Not in their crude state, madam,
but this process— ’
* I don’t care for the process,’ she
snapped; 1 1 wouldn’t touch the stuff
‘ It ig a mild .beverage, madam, and
the doc —’
< Well, I don’t want any. When 1
go to swallowing tar and lard and kero
-ene you’ll know it! S’posen 1 drank
some and exploded !’
‘ Don’t mention it!’ he whispered.
‘ Don’t speak of it!’
‘ I’m sorry for you, young maD, but
tbero’s a constable living right in sight
of our house, and I drink I—T—l’
‘ \ ou’Jl drive mb to a suicide’s
grave, yoij mean!’
She lowered her spectacles, took i
long look at him, and went-out without
replying.
HIT AND HUMOR*
— A boy is a blessing until he puts

and when he heard the name inquired
if he was a fool.
“ No, my little one, he is not a fool,

“ Bemuse,” replied the boy, “mother

—A youthful clergyman who recent

dearly the parent loved his child.

length on the killing of the fatted Cajfi
The climax was as fallows : “ I

Mr. Blivens and taking him tightly in
her arms, exclaimed, “O, you dear,
dear man ! What a happy woman 1

had locked himself in his wood house,

through the key-hole.
