Th* f'wirier's lady correspondent, under the num. de plume of Natalie tells us that there has never been a time when high and dashing colors have been mote in vogue. For the promenade, for the parlor, or for evening toilette it is all the same. The brightest and the warmest tints, in velvets, satins ami silks, as well as in the more substantial fabrics, are eagerly sought for. No attention is paid to complexion, size, or tigure— Blonds flash up and down Broadway arrayed in garnet or. ruby colored dresses with sultan red trimmings, or else with a pro- fusion of bright yellow flowers, streamers and bow*. Brunettes wear Mexican blue* and mulberry purples, and seem U> think them marvellously becoming; while the pale quiet face, which needs warmth and color, is pretty sure to pitch upon Metternich green, or mauve, or whatever there may be in neu- tral tints thai, is worn. Large people — not- withstanding tj^fl well known fact that the tendency of lisrot colors is to make them ap- pear larger, will insist upon wearing them. Tall and slender ladies array trt-tmseWe* in <tnpe»; and the short heavy figure, which needs quietness and repose, affects flounces, and & panier with no end of streamers, furb«>- locs and CHphoea. i^ome of the present -styles are rather sur- prising, wbea c >nsidered in relation to climate. We once heard a physician say that the fashion of raising the waterfalls every autumn which has always been done — was a bud lain* tor the ladies, but good for the faculty. The same may be said of the present style of wearing the shawl — which is laid in folds and fastened — sometime* 1 1 low down as the waist, sometimes on th l&o lder, witb a clasp or an ornament— lack i : the grace and picturesque beauty of the Bedouin, ithas neither comfort nor good sense to re- commend it. Bonnets, too, or evening wear, are per- ceptibly smaller— in tact, the latest style measure but little more than two inches in width; bouquets of dower?, of the richest and brightest colors, which are imported for the purpose, cover the whole bonnet. In regard to gay colors, there is a rumor that there will be a change later in the season when the winter suits make their appearance that rich cloths in warm but plainer tints will take the lead, and will be considered much more distingui. — Prairie flies oat West make people flee for their lives, but New Yorkers have to flea for their lives in the street can and ferry- boat*. —Victoria climbed one difficult mountain in Switzerland. —Cardinal Bonaparte is getting up >n Arab Bible. — Connecticut has a mammoth cave.

O „._ o The bridegroom, in his far off Western home, and the bride, in her loved family circle, now thought nor dreamed of else than the consummation of their subterrestrial alliance. They planned to meet with their respective suites at th« (.'ave on th« eventful day specified. In accordance with this de- cision, only afew day* ago there whs a simul- taneous fluttering of hearts and i>ackinir of Saratogas, etc., in Flopkinsviile. Ky., and in Nebraska City.

There might have been s«en at one and the ssmn time two joyous and gay com- panies on thn eve of journeying, one from the bracing West and one from the rlowerv South. Forward they speed, hearing «ach for the other " glad tidings of great joy." TUX MKETINU. Propitious stars guided the voyagers.

No- thing else is equal to the task. With the promised wedding and tho present ki»s to cheer them on, the "soon to be one" hastened to the Cavo Hotel, whare they were welcomed with all the honors duo their proud station. KOROOT S..MKTIMNH. In a crisis like this a bridegroom is allowed to be slightly absent-minded. Mr. Daven- port took care to bring a clergyman all the way from Kansas as his body-guard, and did everything else but one pursuant to the case matrimonial. In his extreme felicity he for- got to procure tho legal bri«f necessary to the accomplishment of his hopes. This omission caused no little perplexity, and th* hour for tho nuptial service bad to ha post- poned. A trusty m«3S«n?er was despatched to the Barren County Clerk and the nun tial document w»3 forthcoming at S o'clock in the afternoon. IN TH* CATS, The arrival of the license quieted the anxiety of the belated couple, and at half- past fivethe bridal procession took up the line of march for th«» Gave. Under th* lead of " Matt," the ancient colored guide, the com- pany were safe'y and exr^ditiously moved into the Gothic Chapel. The audience con- sisted of the following named persons, and many others whoso names have not been fur- nished as: BRIDAL PARTY. Mr. B. M. Davenport, Nebraska ''-..-.

Even in this grimly real ago of the world, the bright aud airy spirit of romance liven and has its votaries, ready and eagur to do the bidding of their patron genius. Many and curious, too, are the practices of thes* same romancers; but, for the most part, they figure not in our Kood old matter-of- fact commonwealth. Still, th ex- ception to chronicle. And what dm the reader suppose it to b<v> Why, a nuptial celebration in Mammoth Cave, and " nothing shorter." It was an interesting aa well aa a novel affair, and as it is our a*?rt**nbb» office to tell the listening public of all noteworthy event?, we will impart this one in that round, unvarnished manner that so well becometh the diurnal tattler. TH« CONTRACTING PARTIKS. In a journalistic sense, all is well that be- gins well. So we shall commence our narra- tive at the beginning. The ending thereof is not yet. The parties directly concerned in this bridal "extravagan/.t ' were Mr. Benjamin M. Davenport, of Nebraska City, Nebraska, and Miss Ellen Camp- bell, of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Their an- tecedents hm such ad to bring their mar- riage within the "high life" order. The bridegroom is the -on of Klder William Da- venport, who was born and reared in Chris- tian County, represented his district in the General Assembly in 18'JT, and after a resi- dence of thirty-tivo ye:irs in the place of his nativity, removed to Ma liso'i, Ind., where he still resides. His son Benjamin lirst saw the light of, existence in Illinois, in Is:: (by the way, the identical year in which l^ueen Victoria ascended the throne of England), and is therefore ju3t upon the meridian-line of life, ami "highly marriageable." We should have to guess at the age of the bride, and wo leave the quidnuncs to do like- wise—it will bo to them a toothsome prob- lem, lie graduated at Harvard University in I,H*»2, standing woll in his class, and is now a successful practitioner in KansaaCitv The r . nv , l>tl/ ,, ul hi mirn" 111. lUH lovely and happy bride is a daughter of Professor J. C. Campbell, of the Hopkins- ville University, who is a graduate of Bethlehem College, Virginia. He id » nephew and his wife is a niece of Alexander Campbell, the celebrated reformer and author of what is known in the religious world as "Campbellism," whose death only a few months ago i» still fresh in the memory of all. His grand-niece possesses all th« out- ward and intellectual charms that make the female character adorable, and useful. She and her life partner inherited the pious sen- timent that rend red her father's name so conspicuous i>» sectarian annals. It will also, we trust, vouchsafe to them a more congenial and happy union. TDK ROMANTIC IDFA. Mr. Davenport and Miss Campbell were under engagement for some time. Like true lover-, as they were, when their mutual vow* had been plighted, they awaited their "in- evitable hour" with hearts of blissful an- ticipation and fidelity. While the " suit" wa« pending, .Mr. Davenport emigrated to Kansas, and the "thoughts that breathe and words that burn," which erst did their love-kindling function face to face with the kneelers at the holy shrine, had to be transmitted postally. That effectual an 1 not unfrequently flippant " tongue of tho absent, " the pen, said a va- riety of salient things while the affianced were undergoing the torture of separation. In one of her bi'lets, about a y*>ar ago. Miss Campbell archly proposed that the union be celebrated in the Gothic chipol of th« Mam- moth Cave. She was actuated in this desire by a natural fondness for the romantic, which had been signally gratified in a trip through the picturesque labyrinths of the cave. Mr. Davenport viewed this a* a capital idea, and concurred in it without hesitation. Mr. D.'s accession some abashed the fair proposer, for she intended it more in jest than in ear- nest. Her next missive sou»ht to annul the agreement, but Mr. I), was incorrigible. He would not relent, and finally " arguwi the case" so astutely and irresistibly that Miss C. was reconverted to her unique idea, and it was carried out per stipulation. PRELIMINARY MANTBUVRKS. Having fully settled upon the pilgrimage to tbe Cave, and ". voting romance having lapped their eU'l senses in her sweetest trance," the arUanrees male their prepara- tions with all due quality and circumstance. Soon th« unsuspecting partial were in re- ceipt of tell-tale, snow whito mono?ram en- velopes, imparting the "old story" in the most elegant lithography, to wit ington, D. C. ; Mrs. H. P.

TUB iKKIMOHT. With the Aid of Bengal lights the Gothic- Chapel was brilliantly illuminated, and pre- sented a sublime appearance. At the desig- nated moment the assembly was arranged tor the raarria^n. The bride and bridegroom an.! their suites stood in front of the altar (which every one who has visited the Cave will call to mind while the spectators formed a semi-circle before them, the minis- ter occupying the central place. Thus grouped, amid the glare of artificial light and in the stilly presence of the awful cavern, that little party beheld the mingling of two souls with but a single thought. The rite was performed by the Rev. J. B. Johnson, of tho Christian Church, Nebraska City, and wad in the belief and dimple form author by that denomination. In very few words from tho holy man To love, to bus*, their blended goals war*given. And each, too happy, asked to brighter heaven. Merrily, now, the nuptial crowd retraced their steps. As they once more emerged into the dazzling mty of tbe earth abt-v. , and met the laughing sunbeams, their souls were doubtless tilled with th • wish for the young wedded ones: And may the stream of their maturing life Forever tluw, inbliitafal sunliKht, through A f.iiry scene with ..is,.. no beauty rife, Aa ever greeted tti-« enraptured view. Tho happy couple and .\u25a0» number of their friends came down from the Cavo yesterday, lined at the Lousivillo Bold, nn«l took pas- sage on the mail bout in the afternoon for Madison, Irui .. whence they will proceed to Kansas City, their future borne. LIABILITY OF A CORPORATION FOR THE DEATH OF AN EMPLOYE. From the N. V. Ttmo, llrlotwr 1»«. Court or Appkau.— Before all th« Judges. -Lucy A. Warner, Administratrix, etc., vi. The Uric Railway Company.— This was an appeal from a judgment on the ver- dict of a jury in favor « tho plaintiff, for damn/ for tho death of her husband, who, while in the employ of the defendants, was killed by the falling, of a train, upon which he was engaged us Daj(K!ig»- master, through the eastern span of a rotten bridge, over the Cotthocton River, at Piunteil Post, on the Ith of May, 18*15. Tbe bridge was built in the fall ofIB*"k>, under the personal supervision ot Jm. Bishop, th« defendant i master of bridge?, chiefly from Chemun< pine, but some of tbu posts wore el <>Mk The timber wm but \ »r- tialiy MMM I. and the bridge wa.< ija.iitit in tbo wramer op early fall of lsj»«. 'ho tendency >t pointing it, it not beiuir iboi- oug&ly seasoned, was claimed to bo to pro- mote dry rot I', fell because it was so rot- ten it wo d not su3Uin the train, and it w^ claimed to bo proven that such was the in- herent tendency in the timber in such » structure '•> decay that the bridge could not have reasonably been expected to ?tand so as to be safe longer than tiv« to eigbt yean. The d"ct»y wits dry rot. The case went to the jury upon tho sole question whether the Board of DtreOBMI of tr<w defendant in tne exercise o; such re*oonablo care, skill, and diligence as might properly be required from them, ou^htnot to have known that the bridge was un*afe. That if such was the fact, and they continued to maintain the bridge, or al- lowed it to be maintained in its unsafe con- dition, and thereby the accident occurred, the defendant was liable. If not, the jury were instructed that there should be a verdict for the defendant. The appellants claim that this charge was erroneous, and that the directors must be shown to have been negligent in knowing personally the con- dition of the bridge, before the plaintiff could be entitled to recover. It wad argued that defendant wa- not liable, forth** reason that deceased wad its employe, and that there was not any evidence tending to show any omis- sion to perform any duty it owed to deceased as its employe, or the commission of any neg- ligent act. that defendant was not liable for th<* negligence of" the fellow servant ot do- ceased. It was argued for respondent that the relation of master and servant involves curtain relative obligations. The Servant, by entering into it, impliedly assumes the ordin- ary risks incident to the service in which he is engaged, among which hi the negligence of other servants employed about the same gen- eral business. On the other band, the master i mediately contracts that he will due care to hire other servants who are tit and com- petent f>>r the discharge of their respective duties in the common service; and that he willalso use due care and precaution in pro- curing such machinery and other appliances as shall be suitable in the prosecution of the business. The negligence of the di- rectors was negligence of the master and not of employes. Tb*t there was negligence by the employ*), or master, or both, could not be disputed. The Direct- ors were claimed to have been negligent, be- cause ».n«>y had failed to discharge a duty de- volving upon them, standing, as they did, in the place of master. It was argued further that it' the Directors ought to have known the condition of the bridge, or in other words, were in ignorance thereof, by reason of a failure to eierciso a reasonable dili- gence in -^certain tho fact, the defendant is equally » • culpable as if the Directors h*<t actual notice of the unsoundnesn and failed to repair. The Court reserved its decision. John Gneson for appellant; Sherman S Rogers for respondent. HYMEN UNDERGROUND. In answer to counsel's application Judge Dowling said: I am .sorry you so advised the defendant not to appear, after she was noti- fied to bo here. This Court never tries a person who is absent. If the judgment of the Court is to be pronounced who will itb« pronounced upon — upon the counsel? Counsel — This is a mere application for «n adjournment. Judge Dowling — We never grant an ap- plication except the parties are present in Court. Counsel withdrew, probably, to send for his client. After a delay of half an hour defendant's counsel again appeared in company with a gentleman who said he was counsel for the complainant, and again requested an ad- journment, the opposite counsel consenting. Tbe Judge stated that it whs a case of the people vs. the defendant, and the complain- ant was, therefore, represented by the Dis- trict Attorney. He could not depart from the rules of tho Court, which required the parties to be present when notiliod to do so. The gentleman who stated he represented Mrs. Gill, said a few days might make a difference in the case, and he had no objec- tion to an adjournment. The Judge would not alter his determina- tion, and both counsel left the Court Boon together to hunt up their respective clients. Counsel for the defendant, after a short absence in search of his client, again ap- peared in company with the lady, and when the case was reached on the calendar counsel on both sides, witb the fair parties to the litigation, approached tho Judge's bench. Mrs. Mary Gill, who was tho victim of the assault, is a lady rather petite in stature, but slightly inclined to embonpoint, and was dressed in a rather rakish looking black vel- vet jockey hat, whitinh looking mantle and dark colored dress. She would not be select- ed from a crowd for her pnitninent beauty. Tho defendant is rather a matrouly looking woman, and was apparelled in a rich broch<; shawl, dark black dress and bonnet. She looked somewhat embarrassed at appearing in a crowded Court Room, while her adver- sary showed a good deal more of self \u25a0 posses- sion. Counsel again applied for an adjournment of the case. The plaintiff said she would rather havo the case tried at present, but at the same time she had no opposition to an adjournment. The Judge, in compliance with tbe application, adjourned tbe case untilTuesday next. 7'n thr Editor of lln 1/rm/d: Your report in last Friday's issue of the Herald, relative to a disturbance between Mrs. Spinola and myself, tit Stewart's, is false in man y partic- ulars and does injustice to myself. The facts of the case aro these: Incompany with a lady friend I was at Stewart's making some purchases, where we met Mrs. Spinola, who, withoutany provocation on my part, began to abuse me in a most shameful and unladylike manner, saying, " 1 am going to blind you," "I will disfiguro you for life." "Yes, I'll hill you. to which 1replied, "All right," when she rushed upon me and struck me on the head with her parasol. I then called an officer, who arrested her, and in his presence she said, "Iam a poor, desertea wif«." This is all that was said, as can be verified by other ladies who were present and wit- nessed the whole affair. IfMrs. Spinola is a deserted wile it is no fault of mine. Mrs. M.Gill, IM West Sixteenth street. —The ladies have become their own pro- tectors—they have adopted the peliate for street wear. —Troy professes to be a great city on ac- count of its stove manufactories. A grate city is intended. THE FEMALE FIGHT AT STEWART'S. Prom ii,.- N. v. lieiaM, i :. 1..1.-1 .'.« v Mary Gill vs. Elvira N. Spinola. — Imme- diately on Judge Dowling appearing on the bench yesterday, at nine o'clock-, counsel for the defendant in this case applied for nn ad- journment on the plea of the absence of bis client. This was a chargo made by tho com- plainant against the defondnnt lor an assault committed OB her by striking her on the forehead with a parasol on the Ist of Oc- tober. The affray took place in the store ol A T Sltnurui-t PARIS FASHIONS Traustited from Le Folk-t fur tbe Tribune. Many fall costumes are made of Scottish material, a kind of rather thick twilled tissue Ono dress is composed of a skirt, just Lou enough to touch the ground, and bordered below by a high flounce, while a long tunic, ornamented on each sidn with black taffeta or velvet stripes, covers the dreg. Atippet of the samu material, moro or less long, is looped up behind by several folds. The toilets for the end of the season, atthecountry or for travelling, aro also inado of Scotch cloth, and BBMUM the form of a paletot, with a large round tippet covering part of tho dress. Ibis stylo is very becom- ing, the tipp.-t being cut so aa to make lac >cam form a heart on the Back, and iU lowe.r part being surmounted by a fringe corresponding to the color of the Hootch ma- lerial. This costume may be worn over a dress of black tatfetta, or even over toilots of light color. Short dresses are constantly worn, and much originality in their forms and choice of colors is displayed. The fol- lowing for instance, is a highly rocommond- able pattern for a lady of fashion : Tho lower skirt, ol a pale-red color, is trimmed witb small crape flounces of the same, shade; the light-blue crape tunic is looped back en jxin- ier by knots of the same notarial, while the hsiat, made of pale red taffeta, is cut square and trimmed witb small crape flounces. A manlelet of light-bluo crapo, bordered with a fringe of feathers, makes the costume .com- plete. A round straw hat is hold up at tlie side by a large pale red rose, partly covered by small bluo flowers hanging over it. For morning costumes itis fashionable to wear unbleached linon during warm weather, but woollen material, with wide stripes, takes the place of tbe former when the weather is unfavorable. In this OatO, a cloth waist, corresponding in shade to one of tho stripes of the skirt, is very becoming, and generally worn with facings, ornamented by small, bright-oolorod fancy buttons. A linen sailor collar, with stripes, a black or brown hat of English straw, entirely covered by a long vail of blue or brown cnipo, makes this costume com- plete. For afternoon dresses tb« preference is given to black or vari-colored grena- dine. It is worn in the form of a tunic, making panier over foulard, or very tight-colored taffeta dn'sses, and tho small light-colored waist is cut square and vory low. For fall costumes unit oroJ and dark plush or cloth is employed, and the panier style more than ever used for them, which shows that this will be the fa- vorite stylo for the coming winter. The demi- tuilette costumes are generally composed of a particularly dressy kind of c:uhmoro, which will bo La great demand. For full dress, heavy material, with ornaments of plush, will prevail. Until the tall costumes assume a more decided character, let us pay our at- tention to casino toilets, which aie tilway3 the precursors ofthe regular evening toilets. Thus they wear tatTnta drosses of light color, for instance, with a very liaht mus- lin or gau/.e cloak over it, which reminds you poniewhat of tho summer fashions, it can hardly be called a cloak, for it is looped back en panicr s so as to show the olognnt iHlibta 'kirt. The sashes hay« become consi- derably shorter, the flaps bciufj only two-thirds their former length, and looking more like \u25a0 part of the dre?s than likeasa?h. On theotbor side those flips have large knots in the shape of a f*n, or of shells itt the tops. I have even seen ctoakt made tliuost entirely of guipure, over tatleta transparent*, with a sash and fUpp of gui- pure, which makes the costura^ look very rich. Pink and blue have become favorite colors of late, and even blue and green are worn together. The former style is known to bo Pomjmdour, while the latter is Scotch and very much liked in fashionable circles. I have seen a toilet of that description wornby the Marquise de X — . It was a skirt of blue taffetta puffed with green, which gave the toilet the appearance of the fea- thers of some rare bird. The square cut waist was trimmed with green tulle, the puffs being separated from each other by small foliage of th« same color. Tho hond-dress a la £mcv XV, had » very ?mall aigret of courouam, and the fan cor- responded with the color and *tylo of the costume. A recent letter of the Key. Newman Hall, of England, to the New York Independent, contains the following: In saying a few words to a most rough- looking but attentive crowd, 1 referred to an incident which occurred to a temperance friend of mine at a meeting held near Lon- don. One of the speakers had dwelt on reli- gious topics at some length. During thirty years' advocacy, I have never heard any ob- jections raised to the introduction of religion at temperance meeting*". But en this occa- sion a free-thinker who was present, "rose to order;" said he come to hear about tem- perance; and that, in his opinion, the man who invented gas had dono more to enlighten the world than all the parsons. This caused a great row, in which tho cry prevailod, " Turn him out My friend rose to remon- strate; entreated a fair hearing for the objec- tion, and restored order. Presently he was himself called up, and began his speech thus: "Mr. Chairman, I'm for free thought and free speech; and yonder gentleman has a right to speak and think for himself as much as I have. [Loud cheers from the friends of the objector. ] That gentleman says he con- siders tbe man who invented gas did more to enlighten the world than all the parsons. Well, if that is his opinion, he has a right to bold it and to mention it. But, whatever our different opinions, there is a time coming to us all which we call death, when most men are somewhat seriour, and like to get advice and comfort respecting the world they are going to. Now, when this season comes to our friend, I would recommend him to send for the man." Boars of laughter and a tumult of clapping followed this sally, which was better than a sermon ; demonstra- tive without formal logic, and is not likely to be forgotten. The impudent boys of the neighborhood where this occurred still, at a safe distance, shout to the man round the corners of streets, "Send for the gas man!" -^ — Wheels, like men, are often tired, and very frequently from a kindred cause— round so much. _ A SHORT BUT SHARP SERMON. THE CHINESE EMBASSY IN ENGLAND. Fiom the Londoo Standard .Ditraalljorgaas bept-l'tb. The Chinese Ambassadors have arrived. That event, which should have stirred the very depths of our British curiosity, has somehow or other failed to excite any par- ticular enthusiasm. Whether it is that oui diplomatic relations with the Celestial Em- pire have ceased to bo of am interesting char- acter—whether wo have had a surfeit of sen- sations of this sort, or from some cause less rapidly explicable, we do not appear to be greatly moved by the news of the Chinese plenipotentiaries' arrival. Mr. Burlingame, with his polyglot train, bavo landed on our shoroß with scarcely more eclat than would bo commanded by anew troupe of Japanese jugglers. There \u25a0an evident indifference tn the new arrivals, hardly to be explained by the fact that they possess no accomplishments in legerdemain, that they present no skill jn butterflies, and would probably be beaten in top-spinning by the youngest member of the late Lyceum company. In truth, we must regard this Embassy a.> ono of a most enigmatical character. We know tho Chinese to be grott adepts in the art of polite mistilication. We have had gome experience of that peculiar mixture ol naive childishness and profound craft whicli characterizes their diplomacy, and wo con- fess to be fairly puzzled by this latest Chi- neso device. What, in the name of t/u- great archdragon, are these ambassadors? NVhat do they represent, and whut is their business here? Never was tbore so paradoxical an KmbaHßJ in the annals of diplomacy. In the first place, the Plenipotontiary-in-chiol is not a Chinaman, but a full-blooded Yan- kee, who only the other day held a position precisely tho inverse of his prosent one, be- ing an ambassador to China from the United States. Of the persptuut of the Embassy, tho first Secretary is an Irishman and the second a Frenchman. There is only one riiul Chinaman in tho wbolo concern, or rather, to use the polite language of oco ol our liberal contemporaries, on4y one " whose illustrious line is free from every tint of bar- barism." The association of nationalities is ho odd as almost to provoke a suspicion of the genuineness of the wholeaffair. If we did not know the Chinese to be incapable ofthis kind of humor we might suppose that they had sent this collection of miscellaneous gentle- men by way of an elaborate burlesque of the forms of barbarian diplomacy. Mr. Anson Burlingame, Mr. John McLeary, liro-yn and M. Deschamps may be highly \u25a0atiaublo and worthy gentlemen, inspired by a genuine faith that they are representing tho empire of China, and possessed of a live- ly interest in its affairs; but they will pardon us if wo aro unablo to refrain from viewing the comic side of their mission. They have done Un-ir best to accommodate themselves to the parts which they have to sustain. A Foe- Au- Chen, Chin-Chi-Ckoong-Jen-Pa- cheu, 80-Cboong-Au and De-Chan may have >i certain imposing ollbct which is un- deniable; and if wo did not know that the illustrious Foe, etc , comes from Boston, that Ho, ate., hails from Belfast, and that De- Chan is simply pigeon-Chinese for Das- champs, we should be greatly struck at taut by the nomenclature of the new um- lusaadors. As itis we cannot, help saying that wo are not much impressed by tho Chinese charac- ter of this very remarkable Embassy. What is tho nature of the process by which the Em- peror of China approaches the Queen of Knglanrl? A dexterous American politician comet over from the United States with an Iri^h Secretary and a French assistant and ctftiuu our attention as an ambassador from China. Lot it not bo supposed that we in- tend for a Moment t« doubt the genuineness ot Mr. Anson Burlinpamo's mission. But what ici- ho como about, and why does China trc.it us in this queer masquerading fashion? Individually—we learn from the liberal jour- nal which fromiho first has been in an ecstasy at tbe arrival ofthese distinguished strangers —they " unite nil the attractiveness of the ..how Chinaman to the dignity of tho diplo- matist." This may be all very well, butaa Mr. tiurlingarae could scarcely have come only to exhibit himself as an attractive Chinaman or a dignified diplomatist we aro still forced to inquire what is the special object of his mission. Was it only to deliver tbe compli- ments of the Emperor of China to the British people? The Chinese are too old in polite- ness to send a company of strangers on such a mission; nor can Chih-U-Kang, the asso- ciate Minister, weighing, as we are told with impressive particularity, only one hundred and thirty pounds, be accepted as givingad uo Chinese flavor to the expedition. What im- portant matter of international relationship can there bo between China and England to justify such an embassy? The present state of our relation* with China aro of the simplest character. Tho Chinese Govern- ment have mndo several treaties with ut, none of which they have faithfully observed. Wo aro their creditors in respect of numer- ous services performed by us in their be- half, and of solemn obligations by them systematically nogloctod. They ba^e agreed to certain terms of amity and intercourse which they have deliberately violated. On our side we have carried forbearance and generosity to the utmost limits. We have refrained from pressing our treaty claims upon the Chinese Government, out of a magnanimous solicitude for thoir weakness and their prejudices. We have allowed them to take us at every possible advantage, to exact from us the strictest obedience to tho letter of our engagements, whilo they, on their part, havo never attempted to carry out some of the most important clauses of tho treaty, clauses tending to tho extension of amicable relations between England and China and to the cultivation of mutual good willand of peace. There is only one intelligible object in any Chinese mission to England, and that is to explain and to excuse the non-fulfilment of tbe obligations entered inte by China towards England. Is this what Mr. Bur- lingame has come about? If so, he may calculate upon a fair and patient hearing, and upon ail the honor due to such an Am- bassador. We may have our opinion as to the judgment of the Chinese in the matter of Plenipotentiaries but that is rather their concern than ours. All wo have to care of is that wo are not being imposed upon by a very common and familiar trick of Chineso diplomacy— that we are dealing with real representatives of China, and not with any foreign mediator) between us and the Chi- neso. —A ludicrous affair came off in Detroit, some few evenings since. There was a large colored party, which was to dine in a gymnasium. The table was all prepared, and the guests ready to sit down, when an ambitious darkey, weighing about two hun- dred pounds, thought he would edify the company by an exhibition on the flying tra- peze; but when over the centre of the Üble he fell upon it with r. crash that upset and scattered the whole concern. The Frte Prr** says: His posterior parts crashed into the gorgeous glass centre-piece, breaking it into smithereenii, one foot kicked a turkey into the crowd, the other landed a pie into the lap of an ebony damsel; tbe head of the fallen body bounced into a dish of ice cream, while the frantic hands and arms did des- perate work with dishes and eatables all around. A frantic shriek of dis- may rent the air; imprecations, cries and laughter followed, and an indescribable scene of confusion tilled the hall. "Get out o'dat grub, you cullud cuss!" yelled the waiter. "Oh, Lord!" shrieked Dinah, "de dinnus's dun gone spiled, fo' shu;" and a thousand other lamentations and ejacula- tions were heard in intermingled confusion. At last the overpowering ludicrousness of the situation burst upon the party; they for- got their losses and tbe scene around them, and burst into the wildest guffaws of boist- erous laughter. Pen or pencil could not do justice to the scene. It could only be appre- ciated by an eye-witness. —No Thorough-fare — at some of the res- taurants. From the Unbu.|u« Tim-» .September, 2-in. A fearful tragedy, one that may well cause the blood to curdle in tho veins and tillthe soul of any sensitive mortal with horror, was enacted at the Planter's House, corner of Blutfand Third streets. The motives which prompted to the commission of the act arj still involved in my.Uery, but of the result enough i» known to stamp it as a tragedy which, for the credit of humanity we are happy to say, is not often witnessed— that of a husband and wife quietly resolving to end their lives together by suicide. The parties to the tragedy arrived in this city by boat, and took quarters at the Flant- ers' House, where they registered their names as George Baker and lady, of Madison, Wis- consin. Both were well dressed and apparent- lyused to moving in tho best society. The pair were assigned to room 19, and remained much of the time in quiet and seclusion, but hothing unusual was noticed in their conver- sation or demeanor. At •* o'clock yesterday, as Thos. Hardie and another gentleman were passing by the hotel, they noticed a man who came out on the outside stairway, and start to come down street. He had got down about half way when he missed his footing, and fell head foremost, striking the pave- ment below with much force. On raising him up, a bottle whs found in his left hand, crushed to atoms, while his wrist was cut se- verely by the broken glass. He was re- moved to his room, where his wife was found in stiong convulsions. Regaining conscious- ness, the man stated, to the amazement of all those present, that ho and his wife had taken laudanum with the deliberate intontion of committing suicide, ami ending their troubles together. Of the motives which* impelled them to the deod he gave no ex- planation. Ho ?aid that he and bis wife were in the room together; that she took the lau- danum (ono ounce) brat, and he followed, but fearing that there was not enough of the poison to killhim he started out to procure some more, when aa met with the accident we have mentioned. When the stat« ol affairs becamo known the beH medical talent in the city was summoned, and all that hu- manity, skill ami science could suggest was done for the relief of the sufferers. The man was soon relieved, but the deadly poison had got too deeply Mated in the system of the woman to be eradicated, and she died about '.•A o'clock last evoning. The husband is now confined in the County Jail. A memorandum book found in the room contains a few entries in a female handwrit- ing, the majority of which are couched in ambiguous terms, and atford but little ex- planation. One of these states that the wo- man was married to Georgo A. Baker, Oc- tober Ist, 18t>8. From this it seems that tbe parties were not married, but soon expected to be. Another is to the effect that: "If 1 do not marry you I shall not marry any one else; but will seek happiness in another and a better world — or a worse one." On the table was an open Bible, with a pencil mark at the lOth verse, 'Al chapter of Isaiah, which passage tho woman had evidently been pe- rusing before tbe commission of the act. The book bears evidence of having been freely used, and it would xeem that the unfortunate woman was probably a member of some church. A HUSBAND AND WIFE SEEK DEATH TOGETHER BY TAKING LAUDANUM. AN IRISHMAN'S VIEW OF THE BOND QUESTION. The Decatur (Illinois) Gazette reports the following conversation that occurred be- tween a prominent Democrat and an Irish- man of that city, recently. For convenience, it designates the persons as Jack and Fat: Jack — " How do you like the Democratic- platform?" I*iit— " I can't understand it; would ye be after explaining it to me - all about the bond question?' 1 Jack — "Oh, yes, with pleasure. You see the rich men own all tho bonds, and the poor men have to pay for tho bonds " Pat— "The devil, ye cay; is that the way?" Jack— "Yes; and now the Democratic party propose to pay or!" the bonds with greenbacks, and thus everybody will be treated equally." l'at— " Is that our platform?" Jack —" Not in so many words — but that is what it means; and now, Pat, I want you to do all you can for our party— bring the boys out to all the meotings, and —" Pair- ** Hould on, .lack; will yor paying tho bonds, tl" in greenbacks make the poor man as rich n* the bondholder?' 1 Jack —" Not exactly; tho bondholder will have his greenbacks whoro we can tax them." Fat—" Then there will bo all greenbacks and money will be plenty, and we'll git gould for our greenbacks, if we elect Sey- mour?" Jack— "Not exactly; there is not gold enough in the country." Fat — "Thin wo are not to have goukl at all. How in the divilareyo going to pay oil' the greenbacks?'' Jack—" A part of it will bo paid orr" by taxation, the money we take from the peo- ple for revenue and stamps, etc., and as the greenbacks get worn by constant handling we. will print new ones." Fat—"lsee; you propose to take the debt now carried by the rich bondholder and divide it among the people, rich ami poor alike, by forcing the bondholder to spend hid money for property." Jack— " Exactly. You aro learning fast, and you see —" Fat — "Hould on—an idee strikes me. If the Government debt is all in greenbacks, and thim in circulation, how many cords of 'em will it take to buy a cord of wood?' Jack— "l cannot exactly aay what tliey would bo worth—thit will regulate itself. But, by-the-by, Fat, could you pay me that little note you owo me? It was due yester- day, and [ need the money very much." Fat— "Yes, I know the note is due, and I'll pay you according to the Dimmecratic platform." Jack — " What do you moan?" Pat— "l mane I'll give you a fresh note for the one you have." Jack — "There's nothing about giving fresh notes inthe Democratic platform." Fat —" Vis, ye said *o pay the bonds off in greenbacks, and both of them are prom- ises to pay of the same Government. Ye's give one promise to pay another ono, »nd I'll give you a frosh promise to pay for the one you have now. The note you have now say? ten percent, interest; the new one will say without interest, and no time set for iv payment. " Jack — "Bat this is an individual matter, and the other is a G<_>*er;iment matter. You honpstly owe run, and promised to pay me yesterday. Your proposition is to cheat me out of my money." Fftt—"An' it's chatin' ye out of your money, is it? An' haven't las good a right to chate ye as the Government has to chate ihe widders an' orphans whose money is all in Government bonds? I'llpay ye on the Dimmecratic platform!" 13A.1JL.V ALTA CALIFORNIA. gailglpa California, •AILY ALTA CALIFORNIA In l-uttlirhed L'vkkt Mokkikg. and delivered to Sub.«cribers in the City at .'>'J ceaU i>er week, alle to the Carrier: sinelo eopio* 10 cents.

Yon <>f the boats pulled off to our rescue, vile t o'.hrr fuller' up tin- vale. 'I •\u25a0''>' soon crawlod clobp t<> her stern, and the harpoon v«»s got 'andy.

A quarter of :t hour afterwards the rose hup agin to the surliee, an' then "the Curry," as ye calls it, began. The vale had * boaa blooding profusely hall the 'ole limn in 'er hintern&ls; but, sir, she meant to keek hup a bit of a dust, the did, in the vater, afore she keeked tho backet.

Th* f'wirier's lady correspondent, underthe num. de plume of Natalie tells us thatthere has never been a time when high anddashing colors have been mote in vogue.For the promenade, for the parlor, or forevening toilette it is all the same. Thebrightest and the warmest tints, in velvets,satins ami silks, as well as in the moresubstantial fabrics, are eagerly sought for.No attention is paid to complexion, size, ortigure— Blonds flash up and down Broadwayarrayed in garnet or.ruby colored dresseswith sultan red trimmings, or else with a pro-fusion of bright yellow flowers, streamersand bow*. Brunettes wear Mexican blue*and mulberry purples, and seem U> thinkthem marvellously becoming; while the palequiet face, which needs warmth and color, ispretty sure to pitch upon Metternich green,or mauve, or whatever there may be in neu-tral tints thai, is worn. Large people

—not-

withstanding tj^fl well known fact that thetendency oflisrot colors is to make them ap-pear larger, willinsist upon wearing them.Tall and slender ladies array trt-tmseWe* in<tnpe»; and the short heavy figure, whichneeds quietness and repose, affects flounces,and & panier with no end ofstreamers, furb«>-locs and CHphoea.

i^ome of the present -styles are rather sur-prising, wbea c >nsidered in relation toclimate. We once heard a physician saythat the fashion of raising the waterfallsevery autumn which has always been done—

was a bud lain*tor the ladies, but good forthe faculty. The same may be said of thepresent style of wearing the shawl

—which is

laid in folds and fastened—

sometime* 11 lowdownas the waist, sometimes on th l&o lder,witb a clasp or an ornament— lack i: thegrace and picturesque beauty ofthe Bedouin,ithas neither comfort nor good sense to re-commend it.

Bonnets, too, or evening wear, are per-ceptibly smaller— in tact, the latest stylemeasure but little more than two inches inwidth; bouquets of dower?, of the richestand brightest colors, which are imported forthe purpose, cover the whole bonnet.

In regard to gay colors, there is a rumorthat there willbe a change later inthe seasonwhen the winter suits make their appearancethat rich cloths in warm but plainer tintswill take the lead, and will be consideredmuch more distingui.

The bridegroom, in his far off Westernhome, and the bride, in her loved familycircle, now thought nor dreamed ofelse thanthe consummation of their subterrestrialalliance. They planned to meet with theirrespective suites at th« (.'ave on th« eventfulday specified. In accordance with this de-cision, only afew day* ago there whs a simul-taneous fluttering of hearts and i>ackinir ofSaratogas, etc., in Flopkinsviile. Ky., and inNebraska City. Nebraska, hundreds of milesapart, in one of the oldest and one of thenewest States; but the electric bond of loveannihilated alldistance and Men<le<]the twoscones. There might have been s«en at oneand the ssmn time two joyous and gay com-panies on thn eve of journeying, one fromthe bracing West and one from the rlowervSouth.

With thepromised wedding and tho present ki»s tocheer them on, the "soon to be one" hastenedto the CavoHotel, whare they were welcomedwithall the honors duo their proud station.

KOROOT S..MKTIMNH.In a crisis like this a bridegroom is allowed

to be slightly absent-minded. Mr. Daven-port took care to bring a clergyman all theway from Kansas as his body-guard, and dideverything else but one pursuant to the casematrimonial. Inhis extreme felicity he for-got to procure tho legal bri«f necessary tothe accomplishment of his hopes. Thisomission caused no little perplexity, and th*hour for tho nuptial service bad to ha post-poned. A trusty m«3S«n?er was despatchedto the Barren County Clerk and the nuntial document w»3 forthcoming at S o'clockin the afternoon.

rruaiUrnLoniinilaJournal. Orloter M.Even in this grimly real ago of the world,

the bright aud airy spirit of romance livenand has its votaries, ready and eagur to dothe bidding of their patron genius. Manyand curious, too, are the practices of thes*same romancers; but, for the most part,they figure not in our Kood old matter-of-fact commonwealth. Still, th ex-ception to chronicle. And what dm thereader suppose it to b<v> Why, a nuptialcelebration in Mammoth Cave, and

"nothing

shorter." Itwas an interesting aa well aa anovel affair, and as it is our a*?rt**nbb» officeto tell the listening public of all noteworthyevent?, we willimpart this one in that round,unvarnished manner that so well becomeththe diurnal tattler.

TH« CONTRACTING PARTIKS.In a journalistic sense, all is well that be-

gins well. So we shall commence our narra-tiveat the beginning. The ending thereof isnot yet. The parties directly concernedin this bridal "extravagan/.t

'were Mr.

Benjamin M. Davenport, of NebraskaCity, Nebraska, and Miss Ellen Camp-bell, of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Their an-tecedents hm such ad to bring their mar-riage within the "high life" order. Thebridegroom is the -on of Klder William Da-venport, who was born and reared in Chris-tian County, represented his district in theGeneral Assembly in 18'JT, and after a resi-dence of thirty-tivo ye:irs in the place of hisnativity, removed to Ma liso'i, Ind., wherehe still resides. His son Benjamin lirst sawthe light of,existence in Illinois, in Is:: (bythe way, the identical year in which l^ueenVictoria ascended the throne of England),and is therefore ju3t upon the meridian-lineof life, ami "highly marriageable."

We should have to guess at the age of thebride, and wo leave the quidnuncs to do like-wise—it willbo to them a toothsome prob-lem, lie graduated at Harvard UniversityinI,H*»2, standing wollinhis class, and is nowa successful practitioner in KansaaCitv Ther.nv

lovely and happy bride is a daughter ofProfessor J. C. Campbell, of the Hopkins-ville University, who is a graduate ofBethlehem College, Virginia. He id »nephew and his wife is a niece of AlexanderCampbell, the celebrated reformer andauthor of what is known in the religiousworld as "Campbellism," whose death only afew months ago i» still fresh in the memoryofall. His grand-niece possesses all th« out-ward and intellectual charms that make thefemale character adorable, and useful. Sheand her lifepartner inherited the pious sen-timent that rend red her father's name soconspicuous i>» sectarian annals. Itwillalso,we trust, vouchsafe to them a more congenialand happy union.

TDK ROMANTIC IDFA.Mr.Davenport and Miss Campbell were

under engagement for some time. Like truelover-, as they were, when their mutual vow*had been plighted, they awaited their "in-evitable hour" with hearts of blissful an-ticipation and fidelity. While the

"suit"

wa« pending, .Mr. Davenport emigratedto Kansas, and the "thoughts that breatheand words that burn," which erstdid their love-kindling function face toface with the kneelers at the holyshrine, had to be transmitted postally. Thateffectual an 1 not unfrequently flippant"

tongue of tho absent, "the pen, said a va-

riety of salient things while the affiancedwere undergoing the torture of separation.Inone of her bi'lets, about a y*>ar ago. MissCampbell archly proposed that the union becelebrated in the Gothic chipol of th« Mam-moth Cave. She was actuated in this desireby a natural fondness for the romantic, whichhad been signally gratified in a tripthroughthe picturesque labyrinths of the cave. Mr.Davenport viewed this a*a capital idea, andconcurred initwithout hesitation. Mr. D.'saccession some abashed the fairproposer,for she intended it more in jest than in ear-nest. Her next missive sou»ht to annul theagreement, but Mr. I), was incorrigible. Hewould not relent, and finally

"arguwi the

case" so astutely and irresistibly that MissC. was reconverted to her unique idea, anditwas carried out per stipulation.

PRELIMINARY MANTBUVRKS.Having fully settled upon the pilgrimage

to tbe Cave, and ".voting romance havinglapped their eU'l senses in her sweetesttrance," the arUanrees male their prepara-tions with all due quality and circumstance.Soon th« unsuspecting partial were in re-ceipt of tell-tale, snow whito mono?ram en-velopes, imparting the "old story" in themost elegant lithography, to wit

From the N. V. Ttmo, llrlotwr 1»«.Court or Appkau.— Before all th«

Judges. -Lucy A. Warner, Administratrix,etc., vi. The Uric Railway Company.— Thiswas an appeal from a judgment on the ver-dict of a jury in favor « tho plaintiff, fordamn/ for tho death of her husband, who,while in the employ of the defendants, waskilled by the falling, of a train, upon whichhe was engaged us Daj(K!ig»-master, throughthe eastern span of a rotten bridge, over theCotthocton River, at Piunteil Post, on the IthofMay, 18*15. Tbe bridge was built in the fallofIB*"k>, under the personal supervision otJm.Bishop, th« defendant imaster of bridge?,chiefly from Chemun< pine, but some of tbuposts wore el <>Mk The timber wm but \ »r-tialiy MMMI. and the bridge wa.< ija.iititin tbo wramer op early fall of lsj»«. 'hotendency >t pointing it, it not beiuir iboi-oug&ly seasoned, was claimed to bo to pro-mote dry rot I',fell because it was so rot-ten it wo d not su3Uin the train, and itw^claimed to bo proven that such was the in-herent tendency in the timber in such »structure '•> decay that the bridge could nothave reasonably been expected to ?tand so asto be safe longer than tiv« to eigbt yean.The d"ct»y wits dry rot. The case went tothe jury upon tho sole question whether theBoard of DtreOBMI of tr<w defendant in tneexercise o; such re*oonablo care, skill, anddiligence as might properly be required fromthem, ou^htnot tohave known that thebridgewas un*afe. That if such was the fact, andthey continued to maintain the bridge, or al-lowed itto be maintained in its unsafe con-dition, and thereby the accident occurred,the defendant was liable. Ifnot, the jurywere instructed that there should be a verdictfor the defendant. The appellants claimthat this charge was erroneous, and that thedirectors must be shown to have beennegligent in knowing personally the con-dition of the bridge, before the plaintiff couldbe entitled to recover. It wad argued thatdefendant wa- not liable, forth** reason thatdeceased wad its employe, and that there wasnot any evidence tending to show any omis-sion to perform any duty it owed to deceasedas its employe, or the commission of any neg-ligent act. that defendant was not liable forth<* negligence of" the fellow servant ot do-ceased. It was argued for respondent thatthe relation of master and servant involvescurtain relative obligations. The Servant, byentering into it,impliedly assumes the ordin-ary risks incident to the service in which heis engaged, among which hi the negligence ofother servants employed about the same gen-eral business. On the other band, the masteri mediately contracts that he will due careto hire other servants who are tit and com-petent f>>r the discharge of their respectiveduties in the common service; and that hewillalso use due care and precaution in pro-curing such machinery and other appliancesas shall be suitable in the prosecution ofthe business. The negligence of the di-rectors was negligence of the masterand not of employes. Tb*t there wasnegligence by the employ*), or master,or both, could not be disputed. The Direct-ors were claimed to have been negligent, be-cause ».n«>y had failed to discharge a duty de-volvingupon them, standing, as they did, inthe place of master. Itwas argued furtherthat it' the Directors ought to have knownthe condition of the bridge, or in otherwords, were in ignorance thereof, by reasonof a failure to eierciso a reasonable dili-gence in-^certain tho fact, the defendantis equally » • culpable as if the Directors h*<tactual notice of the unsoundnesn and failedto repair. The Court reserved its decision.John Gneson for appellant; Sherman SRogers for respondent.

HYMEN UNDERGROUND.

Inanswer to counsel's application JudgeDowling said: Iam .sorry you so advised thedefendant not to appear, after she was noti-fied to bo here. This Court never tries aperson who is absent. Ifthe judgment ofthe Court is to be pronounced who will itb«pronounced upon

—upon the counsel?

Counsel—This is a mere application for «n

adjournment.Judge Dowling

—We never grant an ap-

plication except the parties are present inCourt.

Counsel withdrew, probably, to send forhis client.

After a delay of half an hour defendant'scounsel again appeared in company with agentleman who said he was counsel for thecomplainant, and again requested an ad-journment, the opposite counsel consenting.Tbe Judge stated that it whs a case of thepeople vs. the defendant, and the complain-ant was, therefore, represented by the Dis-trict Attorney. He could not depart fromthe rules of tho Court, which required theparties to be present when notiliod to do so.

The gentleman who stated he representedMrs. Gill, said a few days might make adifference in the case, and he had no objec-tion to an adjournment.

The Judge would not alter his determina-tion, and both counsel left the Court Boontogether to hunt up their respective clients.

Counsel for the defendant, after a shortabsence in search of his client, again ap-peared incompany with the lady, and whenthe case was reached on the calendar counselon both sides, witb the fair parties to thelitigation, approached tho Judge's bench.Mrs. Mary Gill, who was tho victim of theassault, is a lady rather petite instature, butslightly inclined to embonpoint, and wasdressed ina rather rakish looking black vel-vet jockey hat, whitinh looking mantle anddark colored dress. She would not be select-ed from a crowd for her pnitninent beauty.

Tho defendant is rather a matrouly lookingwoman, and was apparelled in a rich broch<;shawl, dark black dress and bonnet. Shelooked somewhat embarrassed at appearingin a crowded Court Room, while her adver-sary showed a good deal more ofself \u25a0 posses-sion.

Counsel again applied for an adjournmentof the case. The plaintiff said she wouldrather havo the case tried at present, but atthe same time she had no opposition to anadjournment. The Judge, in compliancewith tbe application, adjourned tbe caseuntilTuesday next.

7'n thr Editor of lln 1/rm/d: Your reportinlast Friday's issue of the Herald, relativeto a disturbance between Mrs. Spinola andmyself, titStewart's, is false in man y partic-ulars and does injustice to myself. The factsof the case aro these: Incompany with alady friend Iwas at Stewart's making somepurchases, where we met Mrs. Spinola, who,withoutany provocation on my part, began toabuse me in a most shameful and unladylikemanner, saying,

"1am going to blind you,"

"Iwill disfiguro you for life." "Yes, I'llhillyou. to which1replied, "Allright,"when she rushed upon me and struck me onthe head withher parasol. Ithen called anofficer, who arrested her, and in his presenceshe said, "Iam a poor, desertea wif«."This is all that was said, as can be verifiedby other ladies who were present and wit-nessed the whole affair. IfMrs. Spinola is adeserted wile it isno fault of mine.

PARIS FASHIONSTraustited from Le Folk-t fur tbe Tribune.

Many fall costumes are made of Scottishmaterial, a kind ofrather thick twilled tissueOno dress is composed of a skirt, just Louenough to touch the ground, and borderedbelow by a high flounce, while a long tunic,ornamented on each sidn with black taffetaor velvet stripes, covers the dreg. Atippetof the samu material, moro or less long, islooped up behind by several folds. Thetoilets for the endof the season, atthecountryor for travelling, aro also inado of Scotchcloth, and BBMUM the form of a paletot,with a large round tippet covering partof tho dress. Ibis stylo is very becom-ing, the tipp.-t being cut so aa to makelac >cam form a heart on the Back, and iUlowe.r part being surmounted by a fringecorresponding to the color of the Hootch ma-lerial. This costume may be worn over adress of black tatfetta, or even over toilots oflight color. Short dresses are constantlyworn, and much originality in their formsand choice of colors is displayed. The fol-lowing for instance, is a highly rocommond-able pattern for a lady offashion :Tho lowerskirt, ol a pale-red color, is trimmed witbsmall crape flounces of the same, shade; thelight-blue crape tunic is looped back en jxin-ier by knots of the same notarial, while thehsiat, made of pale red taffeta, is cut squareand trimmed witb small crape flounces. Amanlelet oflight-bluo crapo, bordered with afringe of feathers, makes the costume .com-plete. A round straw hat is hold up at tlieside by a large pale red rose, partly coveredby small bluo flowers hanging over it. Formorning costumes itis fashionable to wearunbleached linon during warm weather, butwoollen material, with wide stripes, takesthe place of tbe former when theweather is unfavorable. In this OatO,a cloth waist, corresponding in shadeto one of tho stripes of the skirt, isvery becoming, and generally worn withfacings, ornamented by small, bright-oolorodfancy buttons. A linen sailor collar, withstripes, a black or brown hat of Englishstraw, entirely covered by a long vail ofblueor brown cnipo, makes this costume com-plete. For afternoon dresses tb« preferenceis given to black or vari-colored grena-dine. Itis worn in the form of a tunic,making panier over foulard, or verytight-colored taffeta dn'sses, and tho smalllight-colored waist is cut square andvory low. For fall costumes unitoroJ and dark plush or cloth is employed,and the panier style more than ever used forthem, which shows that this willbe the fa-vorite stylo for the coming winter. The demi-tuilette costumes are generally composed ofaparticularly dressy kind of c:uhmoro, whichwill bo La great demand. For full dress,heavy material, with ornaments of plush,willprevail. Until the tallcostumes assumea more decided character, let us pay our at-tention to casino toilets, which aie tilway3the precursors ofthe regular evening toilets.Thus they wear tatTnta drosses of lightcolor, for instance, with a very liaht mus-linor gau/.e cloak over it,which reminds youponiewhat of tho summer fashions, it canhardly be called a cloak, for itis looped backen panicr s so as to show the olognnt iHlibta'kirt. The sashes hay« become consi-derably shorter, the flaps bciufj onlytwo-thirds their former length, and lookingmore like \u25a0 part of the dre?s thanlikeasa?h. On theotbor side those flips havelarge knots in the shape ofa f*n,or of shellsitt the tops. Ihave even seen ctoakt madetliuost entirely of guipure, over tatletatransparent*, with a sash and fUpp of gui-pure, which makes the costura^ look veryrich. Pink and blue have become favoritecolors of late, and even blue and green areworn together. The former style is known tobo Pomjmdour, while the latter is Scotch andvery much liked in fashionable circles. Ihave seen a toiletof that description wornbythe Marquise de X

—. Itwas a skirt of bluetaffetta puffed with green, which gavethe toilet the appearance of the fea-thers of some rare bird. The squarecut waist was trimmed with greentulle, the puffs being separated from eachother by small foliage of th« same color.Tho hond-dress a la £mcv XV,had » very?mall aigret of courouam, and the fan cor-responded with the color and *tylo of thecostume.

Arecent letter of the Key. Newman Hall,of England, to the New York Independent,contains the following:

In saying a few words to a most rough-looking but attentive crowd, 1referred to anincident which occurred to a temperancefriend of mine at a meeting held near Lon-don. One of the speakers had dwelt on reli-gious topics at some length. During thirtyyears' advocacy, Ihave never heard any ob-jections raised to the introduction ofreligionat temperance meeting*". But en this occa-sion a free-thinker who was present, "roseto order;" said he come to hear about tem-perance; and that, inhis opinion, the manwho invented gas had dono more to enlightenthe world than all the parsons. This causeda great row, in which tho cry prevailod,"

Turn him out My friend rose to remon-strate; entreated a fair hearing for the objec-tion, and restored order. Presently he washimself called up, and began his speech thus:"Mr.Chairman, I'm for free thought andfree speech; and yonder gentleman has aright to speak and think for himself as muchas Ihave. [Loud cheers from the friends ofthe objector. ] That gentleman says he con-siders tbe man who invented gas did more toenlighten the world than all the parsons.Well, ifthat is his opinion, he has a right tobold it and to mention it. But, whateverour different opinions, there isa time comingto us all which we call death, when mostmen are somewhat seriour, and like to getadvice and comfort respecting the world theyare going to. Now, when this season comesto our friend, Iwould recommend him tosend for the man." Boars of laughterand a tumult of clapping followed this sally,which was better than a sermon ;demonstra-tive without formal logic, and is not likelyto be forgotten. The impudent boys of theneighborhood where this occurred still, at asafe distance, shout to the man round thecorners of streets, "Send for the gas man!"

very frequently from akindred cause—round so much.

A SHORT BUT SHARP SERMON.

THE CHINESE EMBASSY IN ENGLAND.Fiom the Londoo Standard .Ditraalljorgaas bept-l'tb.

The Chinese Ambassadors have arrived.That event, which should have stirred thevery depths of our British curiosity, hassomehow or other failed to excite any par-ticular enthusiasm. Whether it is that oui

diplomatic relations with the Celestial Em-pire have ceased to bo ofam interesting char-acter—whether wo have had a surfeit of sen-sations of this sort, or from some cause lessrapidly explicable, we do not appear to begreatly moved by the news of the Chineseplenipotentiaries' arrival. Mr. Burlingame,with his polyglot train, bavo landed on ourshoroß with scarcely more eclat than wouldbo commanded by anew troupe ofJapanesejugglers. There \u25a0an evident indifference tnthe new arrivals, hardly to be explained bythe fact that they possess noaccomplishmentsinlegerdemain, that they present no skill jnbutterflies, and would probably be beaten intop-spinning by the youngest member of thelate Lyceum company.

In truth, we must regard this Embassy a.>ono of a most enigmatical character. Weknow tho Chinese to be grott adepts in theart of polite mistilication. We have hadgome experience of that peculiar mixture olnaive childishness and profound craft whiclicharacterizes their diplomacy, and wo con-fess to be fairly puzzled by this latest Chi-neso device. What, in the name of t/u- greatarchdragon, are these ambassadors? NVhatdo they represent, and whut is their businesshere? Never was tbore so paradoxical anKmbaHßJ in the annals ofdiplomacy. Inthe first place, the Plenipotontiary-in-chiolisnot a Chinaman, but a full-blooded Yan-kee, who only the other day held a positionprecisely tho inverse of his prosent one, be-ing an ambassador to China from the UnitedStates. Of the persptuut of the Embassy,tho first Secretary is an Irishman and thesecond a Frenchman. There is only oneriiul Chinaman in tho wbolo concern, orrather, to use the polite language of oco olour liberalcontemporaries, on4y one

"whose

illustrious line is free from every tint of bar-barism." The association of nationalities isho odd as almost to provoke a suspicion of thegenuineness ofthe wholeaffair. Ifwedidnotknow the Chinese to be incapable ofthis kindof humor we might suppose that they hadsent this collection of miscellaneous gentle-men by way of an elaborate burlesque of theforms of barbarian diplomacy. Mr.Anson Burlingame, Mr. John McLeary,liro-yn and M. Deschamps may be highly\u25a0atiaublo and worthy gentlemen, inspiredby a genuine faith that they are representingtho empire of China, and possessed ofa live-lyinterest inits affairs; but they willpardonus ifwo aro unablo to refrain from viewingthe comic side of their mission. They havedone Un-ir best to accommodate themselvesto the parts which they have to sustain. AFoe- Au-Chen, Chin-Chi-Ckoong-Jen-Pa-cheu, 80-Cboong-Au and De-Chan mayhave >i certain imposing ollbct which is un-deniable; and if wo did not know that theillustrious Foe, etc ,comes from Boston, thatHo, ate., hails from Belfast, and that De-Chan is simply pigeon-Chinese for Das-champs, we should be greatly struck attaut by the nomenclature of the new um-lusaadors.

As itis we cannot, help saying that wo arenot much impressed by tho Chinese charac-ter of this very remarkable Embassy. Whatis tho nature ofthe process by which the Em-peror of China approaches the Queen ofKnglanrl? A dexterous American politiciancomet over from the United States with anIri^h Secretary and a French assistant andctftiuu our attention as an ambassador fromChina. Lotitnot bo supposed that we in-tend for a Moment t« doubt the genuinenessot Mr. Anson Burlinpamo's mission. Butwhat ici- ho como about, and whydoes Chinatrc.it us in this queer masquerading fashion?Individually—we learn from the liberal jour-nal which fromiho firsthas been in an ecstasyat tbe arrival ofthese distinguished strangers—they

"unite nil the attractiveness of the

..how Chinaman to the dignity of tho diplo-matist." This may be all very well, butaa Mr.tiurlingarae could scarcely have come onlyto exhibit himself as an attractive Chinamanor a dignified diplomatist we aro still forcedto inquire what is the special object of hismission. Was itonly to deliver tbe compli-ments ofthe Emperor of China to the Britishpeople? The Chinese are too old in polite-ness to send a company of strangers on sucha mission; nor can Chih-U-Kang, the asso-ciate Minister, weighing, as we are told withimpressive particularity, only one hundredand thirty pounds, be accepted as givingad uoChinese flavor to the expedition. What im-portant matter of international relationshipcan there bo between China and England tojustify such an embassy? The present stateof our relation* with China aro of thesimplest character. Tho Chinese Govern-ment have mndo several treaties with ut,none of which they have faithfully observed.Wo aro their creditors in respect of numer-ous services performed by us in their be-half, and of solemn obligations by themsystematically nogloctod. They ba^e agreedto certain terms of amity and intercoursewhich they have deliberately violated. Onour side we have carried forbearanceand generosity to the utmost limits. Wehave refrained from pressing our treatyclaims upon the Chinese Government, out ofa magnanimous solicitude for thoir weaknessand their prejudices. We have allowedthem to take us at every possible advantage,to exact from us the strictest obedience totho letter of our engagements, whilo they,on their part, havo never attempted to carryout some of the most important clauses oftho treaty, clauses tending to tho extensionof amicable relations between Englandand China and to the cultivation of mutualgood willand of peace.

There is only one intelligible object in anyChinese mission to England, and that is toexplain and to excuse the non-fulfilment oftbe obligations entered inte by Chinatowards England. Is this what Mr.Bur-lingame has come about? If so, he maycalculate upon a fair and patient hearing,and upon ail the honor due to such an Am-bassador. We may have our opinion as tothe judgment of the Chinese in the matter ofPlenipotentiaries but that is rather theirconcern than ours. Allwo have to care ofis that wo are not being imposed upon by avery common and familiar trick of Chinesodiplomacy— that we are dealing with realrepresentatives ofChina, and not with anyforeign mediator) between us and the Chi-neso.

—A ludicrous affair came off in Detroit,some few evenings since. There was alarge colored party, which was to dine inagymnasium. The table was all prepared,and the guests ready to sit down, when anambitious darkey, weighing about two hun-dred pounds, thought he would edify thecompany by an exhibition on the flying tra-peze; but when over the centre of the Üblehe fell upon it with r. crash that upset andscattered the whole concern. The FrtePrr**says: His posterior parts crashed into thegorgeous glass centre-piece, breaking it intosmithereenii, one foot kicked a turkey intothe crowd, the other landed a pie into thelap of an ebony damsel; tbe head of thefallen body bounced into a dish ofice cream,while the frantic hands and arms did des-perate work with dishes and eatablesall around. A frantic shriek of dis-may rent the air; imprecations, cries andlaughter followed, and an indescribablescene of confusion tilled the hall. "Get outo'dat grub, you cullud cuss!" yelled thewaiter. "Oh, Lord!"shrieked Dinah, "dedinnus's dun gone spiled, fo' shu;" and athousand other lamentations and ejacula-tions were heard in intermingled confusion.Atlast the overpowering ludicrousness ofthe situation burst upon the party; they for-got their losses and tbe scene around them,and burst into the wildest guffaws of boist-erous laughter. Pen or pencil could not dojustice to the scene. Itcould only be appre-ciated by an eye-witness.

From the Unbu.|u« Tim-».September, 2-in.

A fearful tragedy, one that may wellcausethe blood tocurdle in tho veins and tillthesoul ofany sensitive mortal withhorror, wasenacted at the Planter's House, corner ofBlutfand Third streets. The motives whichprompted to the commission of the act arj

still involved in my.Uery, but of the resultenough i» known to stamp it as a tragedywhich, for the credit of humanity we arehappy to say, is not often witnessed— that ofa husband and wife quietly resolving to endtheir lives together by suicide.

The parties to the tragedy arrived in thiscity by boat, and took quarters at the Flant-ers' House, where they registered their namesas George Baker and lady, of Madison, Wis-consin. Both were well dressed and apparent-lyused to moving in tho best society. Thepair were assigned to room 19, and remainedmuch of the time inquiet and seclusion, buthothing unusual was noticed in their conver-sation or demeanor. At•* o'clock yesterday,as Thos. Hardie and another gentleman werepassing by the hotel, they noticed a manwho came out on the outside stairway, andstart to come down street. He had got downabout half way when he missed his footing,and fell head foremost, striking the pave-ment below with much force. On raisinghim up, a bottle whs found in his left hand,crushed to atoms, while his wrist was cut se-verely by the broken glass. He was re-moved to his room, where his wife was foundin stiong convulsions. Regaining conscious-ness, the man stated, to the amazement ofallthose present, that ho and his wifehad takenlaudanum with the deliberate intontion ofcommitting suicide, ami ending theirtroubles together. Of the motives which*impelled them to the deod he gave no ex-planation. Ho ?aid that he and bis wife werein the room together; that she took the lau-danum (ono ounce) brat, and he followed,but fearing that there was not enough of thepoison to killhim he started out to procuresome more, when aa met with the accidentwe have mentioned. When the stat« olaffairs becamo known the beH medical talentin the city was summoned, and all that hu-manity, skill ami science could suggest wasdone for the relief of the sufferers. The manwas soon relieved, but the deadly poison hadgot too deeply Mated in the system of thewoman to be eradicated, and she died about

'.•A o'clock last evoning. The husband is nowconfined in the County Jail.

Amemorandum book found in the roomcontains a few entries ina female handwrit-ing, the majority of which are couched inambiguous terms, and atford but little ex-planation. One of these states that the wo-man was married to Georgo A. Baker, Oc-tober Ist, 18t>8. From this it seems that tbeparties were not married, but soon expectedto be. Another is to the effect that: "If1do not marry youIshall not marry any oneelse; but willseek happiness in another anda better world

—or a worse one." On the

table was an open Bible, with a pencil markat the lOth verse, 'Alchapter of Isaiah, whichpassage tho woman had evidently been pe-rusing before tbe commission of the act. Thebook bears evidence of having been freelyused, and it would xeem that the unfortunatewoman was probably a member of somechurch.

A HUSBAND AND WIFE SEEK DEATH TOGETHERBY TAKING LAUDANUM.

AN IRISHMAN'S VIEW OF THE BOND QUESTION.The Decatur (Illinois) Gazette reports the

following conversation that occurred be-tween a prominent Democrat and an Irish-man of that city, recently. Forconvenience,it designates the persons as Jack and Fat:

Jack —"How do you like the Democratic-

platform?"I*iit—

"Ican't understand it; would ye be

after explaining itto me -all about the bond

question?' 1

Jack—

"Oh, yes, withpleasure. You seethe rich men own all tho bonds, and the poormen have to pay for tho bonds

"Pat— "The devil,ye cay; is that the way?"Jack— "Yes; and now the Democratic

party propose to pay or!" the bonds withgreenbacks, and thus everybody will betreated equally."

l'at—"Is that our platform?"

Jack—"

Not in so many words—

but that iswhat itmeans; and now, Pat, Iwant you todo all you can for our party— bring the boysout to all the meotings, and

—"Pair-

**Hould on, .lack; will yor paying

tho bonds, tl" in greenbacks make the poorman as rich n*the bondholder?' 1

Jack—"

Not exactly; tho bondholder willhave his greenbacks whoro we can taxthem."

Fat—" Then there will bo all greenbacksand money will be plenty, and we'll gitgould for our greenbacks, if we elect Sey-mour?"

Jack— "Not exactly; there is not goldenough in the country."

Fat—

"Thin wo are not to have goukl atall. How in the divilareyo going to pay oil'the greenbacks?''

Jack—" A part of it will bo paid orr" bytaxation, the money we take from the peo-ple for revenue and stamps, etc., and as thegreenbacks get worn by constant handlingwe. willprint new ones."

Fat—"lsee; you propose to take thedebt now carried by the rich bondholderand divide it among the people, rich amipoor alike, by forcing the bondholder tospend hid money for property."

Jack—"

Exactly. You aro learning fast,and you see

—"Fat

—"Hould on—an idee strikes me. If

the Government debt is all in greenbacks,and thim in circulation, how many cords of'em willit take to buy a cord of wood?'

Jack— "lcannot exactly aay what tlieywould bo worth—thit will regulate itself.But, by-the-by, Fat, could you pay me thatlittle note you owo me? Itwas due yester-day, and [need the money very much."

Fat—"Yes, Iknow the note is due, andI'llpay you according to the Dimmecraticplatform."

Jack —"What do you moan?"

Pat—"lmane I'll give you a fresh notefor the one you have."

Jack—

"There's nothing about givingfresh notes inthe Democratic platform."

Fat—"

Vis, ye said *o pay the bonds offingreenbacks, and both of them are prom-ises to pay of the same Government. Ye'sgive one promise to pay another ono, »ndI'llgive you a frosh promise to pay for theone you have now. The note you have nowsay? ten percent, interest; the new one willsay without interest, and no time set for ivpayment.

"

Jack—

"Batthis is an individual matter,and the other is a G<_>*er;iment matter. Youhonpstly owe run, and promised to pay meyesterday. Your proposition is to cheat meout of my money."

Fftt—"An' it's chatin' ye out of yourmoney, is it? An' haven't las good a rightto chate ye as the Government has to chateihe widders an' orphans whose money is allin Government bonds? I'llpay ye on theDimmecratic platform!"
