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.

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.” [Cor. N. Y. Sun. “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.

Now the widow has been twice married, and in response to the ques tion she made a rush for the astounded Mr. Blivens and taking him tightly in her arms, exclaimed, “O, you dear, dear man ! What a happy woman 1 am!” At last accounts Mr. Blivens had locked himself in his wood house, and was trying to explain to the widow through the key-hole. “Fred, how is your sweetheart?” “Pretty well, I guess: sbo says I needn’t call any more.” Teas for gripers tables—-T.
