Ladies aro not so much making up new
garments just now as they ate wearing
out the old oneft, and looking into shop
windows aud watching other ladies’ gowns,
and deciding on the most charming cuts
aud shades.
Wo clip from a Bt. Louis papor some
Washington toiletteh and customs ;
During the summer uud autumn mouths
society ladies make their preparations '
the winter campaign. They can make
accurate a calculation of tho number
invitations they will receivo as tho life
suruuce companies make of the ratio of
deaths in a year, ff tho wardrobe is tf
be of Parisian manufacture, thou tho or
dors must bo given during tbo Hammer.
If New York furnishes the outilt, Sep
tember and October will bo the mouths
for shopping. Everything >« in order by
December, aud the serious matter is taken
into consideration of how to divide and
subdivide the stock on hand. Tim delib-
orat ion* aro grave, and require some solid
chunks of stride to make tip one’s min i nn
to what will lie suitable lor iliffi rent « n-
tertiiiniue.its. There aro some sp ismodio
efforts at outertaining before the first of
January. Anything will do for such oc
casions, but New Year’s day aud the tir.st
state dinner at tho White lloum domuud
a dress of rich material aud decollete.
Tho toilette worn at dinners lit the Secre
tary of Btute’s must lie equally elegant,
but fur tho other officials loss ceremony
may be observed. Of courso your dress
must indicate tho high consideration au<l
regard yon feel whoa invited to dine at
of tho legatious. A fixed-over dress
from last winter will answer for tho
ornshos, but the germans show dresses to
such nil vantage that one has to ho par
ticular nnd not wear th'* sune dress often.
Then come tho carriage cofttumo, tho
walking costume, tho reception dresses,
and thoso for small anil very select affairs.
Now what woman would succumb be
fore she had appeared in all these lovely
things? Of course there h always some
thing belli iu reserve to surprise thoso
who thought that a faihionablo woman
had exhausted her s*oio boforo Lent. At
the Assembly ball last Tuesday evening
there were more elegant toilettes worn
than ovor boforo soon in this city.
Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Belknap, nnd (he wife
the Brazilian Minister, Madame llorgns,
received the guests. Tho w.fe of the now
b secretary, Marquis do Cloremont
do Touniro, outshone all prosont in the
diftpluy of diamonds. Tnoy flashed and
sparkled on her head ai plentifully as
blucliborrioH on the binhos in July. There
was u circlet about tho throat with long
pendants that coveted the neck; a bou
quet of the gems adorned tho corsage.
They fell in long drops from her ears,
and manacled her arms. I never saw
their equal even in this diamond ago, for
they are hoou now where least oxpecteJ.
Mrs. Moulton comes next iu rank for a
line display of those beautiful genu. Her
dross was quite rounrkibio. Black vel-
t. court train, with a white quilling
jtiud the bottoms, a petticoat ot while
sat in, with perpendicular trimmings of
black velvet and white lace, a short apron
front of black velvet, with a llounco of
lace, finished the dross. Mrs. Belknap
wore an apricot-colored silk, winch was
elegant in material ami composition. '1 lie
dress was of the one color only, aud tho
trimmings matched tho shade there was
bu‘ lil.lo lace seen ou thisooslu.iie, which
was as chaste and lefiued-lookiug as the
woaror.
The noxt evening (Wednesday) tho Sec
retary of War ami Mrs. Belknap gave a
gentian. Although two houses were
thrown into one for this occasion, and
blind rod* of people offended at not being
invited, it was crowded.
Mrs. Secretary Belknap’s wedding dross,
worn by her at several parties in Wash
ington, is of a very rich and lustrous
white flowered satin, purchased and made
up in Baris. I lie dross is made quite
plainly, with an apron overskirt draped mi
closely as possible, and terminating among
tho bouffant back breadths; the corsage
is low, lluisbod with Grecian folds at lliu
bust, and with u point boforo aud behind,
trimmed with deep knotted fringe, just
an edge of lace being isiblo at sleeves
and shoulders. In tho hair, drussod high,
is a diamond aigrette, and from a string
of largo pearls about the throat is hu»-
pond • l au ornament of diamonds aud
pearls. Tho accordance of tho stalely
beauty of tho wearer with tho clog ml
luphoity of the dress makes it oxcuod-
gly striking.

—Of all tho love aff'uirs in tho world,
none can surpass tho true love of a big
boy for bis mother. It is a love pure and
noble, honorable iu tho highest degree to
both. 1 do not mean merely a dutiful af
fection ; I meau a lovo which nukes a
boy gallant and courteous to his mother,
saying to everybody, plainly, that he is
fairly in love with her. Next to tho love
of her husband, nothing so crowns u wo
man's life with honor uh this second love,
this devotion of tho son to her. I never
yet knew a boy to “turn out" had who
began by falling in lovo with his mother.

A young soldier, going to his barrack
room to sleep for tho first time, quietly
icled down to pray in the presence of
his comrades. This act was tho signul
for u storm. Hisses, shouts aud whist
ling tilled tho room with hideous noise.
Belts were thrown at. the kneeling soldier,
one uiuii leaped upon tho bud and shoutod
in his oar; blithe was unmoved to tho
end of the pruyer, when ho arose and
loutly wont to his repose. The next
night his comrades ougorly watched to
soo if bo would dare to pray a second
lime. To thoir surprise ho again dropped
on his knees, and they saluted him with
the same rr i ms as on tho previous eve
ning. Ho did not flinch, however. Tho
third evening he kneeled down aud
prayed, regutdless of their continued
king and noise. On tho fourth eve
ning tho noise was less. On tho fifth it
si ill less, and on the sixth one of tho
iers exclaimed: “Ho stands tiro, he
Htands tiro; lie's genuine!” After that
no ono disturbed him. Hu had overcome
opposition—ho had won rospect.

T HE Georgia Agent of Worcester’s

various ways attempted* to prejudice tho
Southern people against Webster: having
gone so fur as to issue a proclamation “To

which ho relieves himself of many adjec
tives and au amount of inveotivo fright

and all who are so base as to be in any way
connected with this conspiracy to crush
out tho liberties of the country. To illus

A good story reaches us from Scotland
It seems that in a certain Scotch country
parish a church officer lliled tho office of
grave lii.’gcr for tho loug space of fifty
years. Suspicion had long been enter-
laiiud that ho was iu tho habit of helping
himself out of tho collection plate when
ever opportunity permitted. It was diffi
cult, of course, to prove this. At last,
however, the hum of X1 was abstracted
from a missionary box which stood
vestry, nnd everything combined to point
out this tiitin us tho culprit. Tho oid<
told tho minister that something mi
really ho done. Tho minister said,
“L uvo t.im to me, aud I’ll sco what
be done I'ue following Sabbath, after
the forenoon service, tho minister
taking off his gown aud bauds, aud being
aloue i * the vestry with the suspected
wan, thought tho opportunity v
good:, be 1-tftt, ho he said: “Audrew,
huve y.,u he ird of tho money that is miss
ing from the box?” * Oh, ay,” said An-
drew, “1 was hearing something about
it. Andrew, continued tho other,
very gravely, “the mutter lies between
you and me. We are the only two who
have acco«* to the box : either you or
must he the thief ” “ Deed, sir,” r
joined the impel Dutiable Andrew, “j,

has access to the box, und i think the
best way’ll lie for you to pay the ae half
