The waist and hips are richly trimmed with ,vy passementerie, and in front Is a full Jabot of black crepe dechine. Itcan be worn with a bonnet or with a largo picture hat, according to tho tasteof the wearer. The model is so very easy to follow that any lady who knows how to make a drees can make tho garment When the weather becomes right cold a vest lined with chamois skin is worn be* neoth it, and thus it has nil the lightness of a woolen wrap with tho warmth of a fur. I fell in love yesterday with a young friend's dress, and because it was so pretty and stylish and at the some time so neat and simple, I had a picture mado of it This young girl could have drtss made of spun gold set with all sorts of precious stones if she liked, therefore the simplicity of it comes from refined taste, not the cruel needs inching poverty. It was of the pretty, 1 iuflfy woolen goods so popular this son, drab with cream white figuring.

SiN Frarcesoo, Nov. 1.—There came to the interior Chinese city, where I waa stopping one summer, two thrifty young Yankees, who were coining mon^fmah- ing rubber stamps. Tbty had akttof tools for making the stamps. Ona can vassed while that They were making* tour of the globe, supporting themaelvea in this novel man ner while on the road. They had done the ports of Japan, and miabed before I met them. The tqjpabra came np the' Yang-tse to Ktoktohg, and in population of abouti the few Chineee merchants who had busi ness relations with them secured orders for over £00 worth of stamps. For single line nome-they got £, snd for of fice stamps they charged in proportion. Daring Ms canvass there the agent v taken ill, and he returned to Bhang! to have the stamps made. 1I agreed to deliver them for him and the •J&fi time* aa much aa the material. Good d their I sent him about £00 in silver and returned a few stamps to be corrected, and sent a few orders for additional ones. The agent sent the second lot, with instruction* to eend the money by return steamer, as they wen soon to leave for India. I pot the money, tome $40 to silver, to the bottom of an old tin biscuit box, and staffed the box toll of waste paper, and tied a card to the can, containing the name etily of the stamp agent, and gave It in charge of one of the officers on a Chinese steamer, and told' him that the owner would call at tho vessel for tho box. R transpired, however, that he bad left before the steamer reached Shanghai, and no one claiming the box it was left off the vemel and set to ashed wMhcthar rubbish at the wharf at Shanghai, After about six weeks I got a letter from Hong Eong, asking about the money. I replied that I bad' sent it an the steam* to Shanghai, as instructed. Bat then bring no express company on the river vends I had ho receipt for the box, simply hav ing handed it to the purser and oskod him to deliver to tho gentleman who would call for it Four months aftsr this I was at Shanghai, and one day con cluded to go to the wharf of the Chinese Navigation company to inquin about the box. I entered the office, bnt there hap pened to be no one on duty at the moment. While sauntering about the premises waiting tho arrival of a clerk I saw among a lot of rubbish in one cor ner what resembled the treasure box. I brushed away the dust, and, sure enough, there was the old biscuit box bod used to storing the silver several months before. I picked it up and shook it and heard tho rattle of the dollars. I pulled out the paper pecking and found at tho bottom of tho box the silver just as I had placed it That box had been walked over by the Chinese freight handlers for four months, but it looked so unlike a treasure box that no one had examined it to see what it contained, put the money in my pocket and staffed the paper back into the tin and left, not having been seen by any one to the plaoe. I presume that old can stood there unclaimed, and was finally thrown sway as rubbish. I sent the money on toBotnbay to find its owner, but whether it ever reached him I never loomed. W. G. Bextox. Some Constantinople Kotos. CoNRAimxonJL OcL la—Tho Greek ladies of Constantinople are very socia ble, and they make it a point of visittoj every newcomer who is considered at al respectable, and dressed to the richest of sflkt and covered with massive gold chains, bracelets, rings and jewels, they make the first viglt, usually going to a sedan chair, aa there are hot few streets to Constantinople wide enough for the passage of a carriage, even If they' not too steep and badly paved. These women are genial, and talkative, hot for tho most part not very intellectual, and they set a very high value upon ex ternal appearances. The manner to which some of them dress Vends ooe to suppose they must he very rich, but when you return their visits you find that they live as poorly and quite as cramped as our average laboring men’s families As long as they can make a fine appearance outside they cate little for the rest, always excepting moner Intercourse with the bettar das Armenians, who rank next to tha Greeks in social importance, b somewhat men pinnint: at it is mors ^ quiet The Armenian men are pleasant and exceedingly polite, and, as a general rule, well informed on all the topics of the day, and while they are said to be i shrewder to business than the Greeks, they show less apparent fondness for mooey, though their lavs of dress is sprbeetfe The Greeks have genanOy fine, tall figures and hold tod often strikingly band acres facts, toll of strength and power, while the Armenian mop hftve as effeminate appear! oco delicate complexions, with very fine, sa native eyes and carting hair.
