' At to have washed away tha
riety of shape, the peculiar style of the dash
ing Ltmbolle, the coquettish Chignon, and the
perfectly unique Catnlane, added to the slen
der charms nnd pendant* ornaments which
form so conspicuous a part of the decorations
combined to render the display both novo
nnd brilliant.
To tbe ladies, moreover, it was more than
usually interesting; rumors have been abroad
for some time that the milliners, alarmed at
tbe case witii which the graceful little Fanehon
and other simple stylcs^ould be copied, bad
determined to “enlarge,” if not invent, some
thing atrociously ugly, which could not be
imitated. “Could this be true?” was tbe mo
mentous question, which in the abscftcc of
any right of suffrage, occupied tbe minds of
thousands ot excited females, and “Opening
Day” settled it, whether in the affirmative or
otherwise we must leave our readers to de
cide, cs wo must confess to not having been
able as yet to come to a satisfactory condu
sion.
That there has been an effort to “enlarge,”
is evident from a scoop which has been, in
some instances, added to tbe Fanehon behind,
and which has made it as ugly and unbecom
ing as its bitterest enemy could desire. The
Empire also reappears with a round, narrow,
flaring brim, and considerably more crown
and curtain, but neither is it improved; and
if these were all, the milliners might shat up
shop until they bad invented something more
attractive, for no one would purchase their
goods.
Fortunately, however, it is not all. There
arc three styles mentioned in a preceding
paragraph', and numerous others, all ridicu
lously small, just the charming little absurdi
ties that wiseacres and humdrums like to vent
tbeir virtuous indignation upon, but which,
for all that, are so distractingly pretty, that
without considering cither precedence or the
properties, even sensible women will put their
hands in tbeir pockets and pay the price for
them before they know xvliat they arc about.
THE FAVORITE STYLES, AXD XEW jOLD.
The most decided novelty is tbe “ Catnlane''
a square of straw, velvet, or tulle, wbicb is
not a bonnet at all, but which does duty for
one, with the aid of flowers, feathers, chains,
and pendants innumerable; not thut these or
naments arc all put upon one bonnet, by any
means. Of the features of the present style
of bonnets, and one quite in accordance with
their size, is their unity and simplicity, and
the Catnlane, especially, will bear very little
trimming.
In dark staw, for Fall wear, the rim only
is covered with a band of bright colored vel
vet, upon which hangs a n>w of handsome
jet pemtants. single or double chains falling
over or below the chignon, and in front us a
necklace, complete the entenible.
Velvet Catnlane* and lace, far evening
wear, are more elaborate, and still preserve
an air of freshness, which is an immense relief
to eyes wearied with the perpetual sec-saw
changes ot the scuttle shape of the past ten
years.
A very stylish Catalanc, which we saw dis
played by Hawkins & Middleton, successors
to Mine. Barronne, was made of drawn black
velvet, ornameoted with a wreath of small
white marguerites, a fall of pointed blonde
below the no, and slender jet chains.
Another, for a bride, was a little gem. It
was of white velvet, surrounded by a wreath
of small white frosted flowers and cut crys
tals. Very long ends of narrow white moire
ribbon were arranged to fasten under and fall
over the chignon, and a bandeau of velvet,
hung with crystals, drooped low upon the
forehead..
For cvenining wear wc remarked a square
bonnet of white tulle ornamented with a
wreath of fine jet flowers, which descended
in one long, slender branch to the shoulder;
and another, tbe small pollings ot which xvere
divided by lines of white marabout, a fringe
of the same falling in a soft shower nt the
hack, and ox er the bandeau, ornamented with
a bunch of large purple velvet pansies in
front
The Chignon was a *)>ecialite of this estab
lishment, nnd is undoubtedly one of the pret
tiest designs ot’ the season. Why it is called
tlio Chignon, we were not able to discover;
probably because it is designed for the espe
cial accommodation of that useful and much-
abused part of a modern lady’s furnishing.
The Chignon, that is to say the bonnet of
ttiat name, fits exactly to the top of every
lady’s head who wears -a “coil,” a “water
fall,” a bunch of curls, n mass of braids, or
any other ot the ingenious contrivances for
assisting nature and displaying the hair. It
is not round nor square, but it is bent a trifle,
and very coquettishly, to the shape of the
head; it is precisely the same back and front;
the bandeau, which constitutes the face trim
ming in front, forming an ornamental mount-
ng for the hair at the back.
The Chignon is made very simple—its
Deanty consists altogether in its shape, its
idaption to the present fashion of wearing
:lie hair, and the contrast of color between
the body part of the bonnet and the bands
and bandeaus. White nnd scarlet or green
and scarlet mauve; and crimson stone color
and blue black with white crystals, or black
and scarlet with jet, are all good combina
tions. Jet ornaments are much U9ed upon
the bandeaus, and fine jet chains are either
festooned about or hung pendant.
The Lamballc isoneot tbe favorites for lull
wear. It is very prettily made of black lacc
and velvet, with a trill ot lace below the rim,
and jet chains and ornaments.
Lamballcs arc also elegantly made in satin
silk of the same shade, mixed si>aringly with
line jet; but the most distinguished of all arc
tbe rich robes of heavy black gros grain, mag
nificently embroidered in silk and jet, beside
which any admixture of color looks vulgar.
Satins arc to be in great favor this season
for grand toilettes; but there is a new mater
ial, importtd by Stewart & Co., which will
please many much better, and which will cer
tainly prove more durable than any hut satins
of the very best quality. It is called “satin
cashmere,” and is a veiy rich twilled silk
with a satin finish. It is the very latest and
most admired fabric for bridal dresses, though
it is to be obtained in all colors, and is par
ticularly desirable in etruscan red, “giraffe”
brown—a shade very nearly like cafe au lait,
and bourre, or “fresh butter.”
A new material for evening dresses is a silk
crape, with a surface like crape maretz, shot
with fine silver threads. It is very brilliant
by gaslight, and is prettiest in blue nnd rose
color. s
Black silks striped with satin, or silk pop
lin striped with satin,are the most fashionable
materials for Autumn ordinary wear. They
arc always cut goared, the stripes forming a
point at the front and at the back, and are
deeply trained. Black with green satin stripes
is a favorite combination.
For walking-dresses, there is a gray, or
stonc-colorcd mixed poplin, made of silk and
wool, with a crepey, or corrugated surface,
which is very new and very stylish. It is ef
fectually trimmed with a number of rows of
silk galloon of the same shade, with black or
white brocaded polka dots.
Plain Irish poplins arc, of course, as fash
ionably worn as ever.
There are new linsey3 and Empress cloth,
which are admirable for useful walking dress
es, and have quite taken the place of merinos
in the street Black alpacas arc much worn,
and are always lady like, while white mohair
is considered beantitul tor morning, and house
wear, trimmed with black or relieved with
one of the pretty Sultana jackets, in silk or
velvet, which, dotted with heads, and edged
with narrow fringe or tinkling silver bells,
have now become an established institution.

There are also loose black poplins, called • J

which ensues when the weather has become

namented only with large spar buttons.

The new Empire, or “Josephine,” as it is
sometimes called, must not be passed by
without a more extended notice, because, ug
ly and unbecoming as it is, it is considered
very distingue. It is frequently made of ter
ry velvet, corded upon the edge and round
the crown with Lyons velvet in a contrasting
color, and is then ornamented with a bunch
of very line and small velvet flowers, also of
the contrasting color, hut having centres the
same shade as the bonnet. The little round,
perked up brim is excessively rococo, and is
becoming to no one, but it is thought by
some very “stylish.”
At the establishment ot J. S. Huggins, on
Broadway, were some reception bonnets, ,
which were very beautiful, and quite novel very novel and unique,
in style. They consisted of crowns varied in j Apropos to the rage for jet chains and or-

It is almost too early yet to speak with
certainty of evening dresses. Very thin tis
sues will undoubtedly be the most fashiona
ble lor young ladies, but they are not the
most economical. Of all useful styles, a
willte silk dress is probably the most durable,
DRESSES FOR THE STREET AXD DRESSES FOR
HOME.
I The great novelty in fashions abroad, but
which has hardly yet made its appearance
here, is the short dress for the promenade,
worn over a simulated petticoat of tbe same
material, or otherwise, as faucy may dictate.
The short dress is portly the result of an
effort to do away with, looped-up skirts, and
partly a necessity of the universal rage for
;ored dresss. A gored, trained skirt cannot
Ae worn with comfort or decency in the
street, nnd does not loop up conveniently.
A short gored dress, on the contrary, is ex
tremely simple and convenient—all it requires
is neat high-heeled boots, and a narrow hoop.
The petticoat may be made of stout twill
ed lining, or any material preferred, and is
only trimmed np ns high as the knee with a
band of the material to be seen. Round the
bottom it may be Vandyked out, or finished
with a box-pleating, the short dress skirt
coming to the top of the trimming, and re
quiring only a hem, stitched round on the
outside, or a few rows of narrow jet triming
or galloon. Petticoats striped in gay colors,
with a plain dress over, arc worn in Paris,
but this style is almost too showy for the qui
eter tnsts of our American ladies.
The Empress is said to have adopted the
short dress for her d&il/ walks in the park at
SL Cloud, generally appearing in mohair or
alpaca of the finest quality, over a silk or
cashmere petticoat, with a box-pleating round
the edge. The Empress has the excellent
judgment and good taste to prefer black or
white to briUiant colors, and rarely wears
thin tissues of any description. The follow
ing costume is one of those worn by Her Ma-
jissty;
A mohair dress, striped in two shades of
gray, and trimmed with a band of blue silk,
stitched on each edge, with a very narrow
line of galloon. A blue silk petticoat, with
a box-pleating round, also stitched on xyitk
fine galloon, and mohair paletot, fitting close
ly to the figure, without sleeves, showing long
sleeves of blue silk. The paletot was trimmed
xith a band of blue silk. A straw Lamballe
lint, with a wreath of small white daisies,
mounted on black velvet, was worn with this
toilette.
For house-wear, there is nothing made now
but gored prineeue robes, plain, or for dressy
occasions, trimmed in a great variety of styles.
Some are ornamented upon the seams, others
with side-sashes, and still others with cross
cut bands, vandyked out, nnd forming a head
ing to a flounce, or simulating a tonic.
White mohair, or cashmere dresses, are
trimmed down tbe seams with double ruches
of colored silk, edged with narrow black
lace, or with lines of black paumenteri, imita
ting embroidery.
For morning wear, the costume, consisting
of a gored "skirt and short loose jacket, is
trimmed with Indian shawl bordering, edged
with a narrow fringe round the skirt and
jacket, and upon tbe tops and bottoms of the
sleeves/ This style is very rich ami elegant,
provided the cashmere be pure white, and
the bordering of fine quality anti true orien
tal coloring.
A morning dress of this description, which
we saw in Mme. Demorest’s dressmaking de
partment, recently, was certainly one of the
most beautiful things ot the kind we have
ever seen; it was intended lor a bride, and
perhaps it would not be out of place, or unin
teresting, to describe the bridal dress pre
paring at the same establishment for the same
fortunate young lady.
It was composed of the new “ satin cash-
mere,” no red and trimmed upon the seams
with narrow cross cut bands of satin, studded
with large pearls to look like nails. The train
was two yards long. A thick cord of white
satin edged the bottom of tbe skirt. The
body was made with a peplum basque trim
med to match the skirt, hut edged with nar
row white silk fringe. The dress was orna-
jnented down the front with pearls, set in
rosettes of satin and blonde lace.
The traveling suit belonging to this outfit
deserves mention. It was of rich stonc-color-
ed poplin, (the lighter lavender grays seem to
be going quite out of date,) trimmed with a
bordering of peacock’s feather trimming.—
The contrast was admirable, and the effect

The Cleveland Committee and the
President.
Washington, Sept. 25.—The Committee
appointed to present the proceedings of the
Cleveland Soldiers’ Convention waited on the
President to-day. Gen, Granger, in the
course of his remarks, referred to the congrat
ulatory despatch sent by Gen. Forrest and
other Ex-Confederates, and said the true spirit
of the Southern men was there exhibited, and
no one had a right to doubt the hqnesty and
sincerity of their declarations.
The President, in responding, said: “While
the war was a physical contest, conducted,
of course, with intellect and intelligence as
far as the science of war was concerned, the
struggle now is purely of a civil character,
for tbe establishment of a basis upon which
our institutions are to rest hereafter. The
query which now arises is, whether the char
acter and genius of the nation are to be sub
verted, or whether it is to he settled upon
the principles of the Constitution. I think
we are now at the most important crisis of
our country’s histoiy, when we arc to fix a
substantial and enduring basis upon which
the institutions of the country are to
rest. We arc to return to the consti
tutional limits, establishing the
great fact that this is a government of limi
tation, that it has a written Constitution, and
that its boundaries are to be observed and
strictly guarded if free government is to ex
ist ; and, coming out of a rebellion, we ought
to demonstrate to mankind that a free gov
ernment cannnot exist upon hatred and dis
trust <ind ill-will, and that with us the time
has come for a re-establishment of all the re
lations of the States to the Federal Govern
ment. This I look upon as being of equal
importance with any part of the war, if not
the most important part.
“I have said more than I intended, but I
repeat that the encouragement, the counte
nance, and the confidence given me, coming
from the source it does, is peculiarly accepta
ble to me, and, God being willing, I will,
with your help, pursue the course I have been
pursuing 5n the effort to save our Govern
ment. I know it bas been said the founders
of the Government are entitled to the most
conspicuous place iu histoiy; but my opinion
is that the preservers of the Government
should occupy the most important page.”
