A "River of Pearls" Gtuardert by an Italian
Stateaman Dressing for the Fete at
CompUgue-The Toilet of Prlnrcis Mat
terslch X Needle Regiment In the Aus
tria Service Description of the Six
Robes.
Paris, NoTcmbnr 30. On opcnlnR tbe Perse
veranta, a Venetian paper, I find in the number
of tbe 13th, that when the King of Italy visited
the baM given in his hoiior, at the Giovanelll
Palace, "Madame Itatazzl hud a river of pearls
on her opulent shoulders (sAne twenty rows),
all of equal size arid beauty, and two as large
as pears in her ears. SI prior Rataz.i, who ac
companied bis wife all the evening, might have
passed for a sentinel watchinp: over the pearly
treasure, and giiRrantee'npr, by his statesman
like gravity, their indixputable authenticity."
The Pereeverama dropped from my hands
when I had glanced over the above quotation,
and I fell into a deep revorie all about Mr.
Ratazzi, whom we have here represented as a
kind of detective, jealously watching his wife's
shoulders with what I bhould call unhtatepman
like bearing, if we are to suppose that, hud he
not follawcd his wife, people would have pre
sumed that her pearls were all paste. I con
eluded that it this new sentinel function is to be
added to all tbe other official duties of a states
man, 1 am plad that I am excluded from diplo
malic councils. Thereupon my thoughts wan
dered from the Giovauelli palace to Corupiegne,
wberc no less than one hundred and titty cases
ot flowers, made up into bouquets, were lately
sent by express for the Empress' birthday ban
quet table. There were so many that all tlio
reception rooms were converted into hot-houses.
The least ot these lloral orlerings cost twenty
louis. Very great preparations are being made
for another series ot visitors at the imperial resi
dence. There is to be a stai hunt in the forest,
which will prove a splendid pageant; theatrical
representations, cabinet councils, meetings of
the military commission, balls and concerts, are
to be mixed up in one agreeable moaic, com
bining serious public duties with lavish hospi
tality. A little p'nk scented note was dropped on my
bieak last plate ttiis morning. On opening h I
lound that it had been penned by lashiou's
lingers and, by-the-way, her writing is some
what excursive, very tiourfchiiie, and her style
is ertatic. The import of the uoie was that she
begged I would attend a particular mansion in
which the Priucess de Metternicb's toilets for
Compiegne w ere being packed. She was anxious
.to know whether her supreme orders had been
carried out, and it tbe robes of which she had
decreed the cut, designs, etc., had the regal
appearance she had endeavored to combine
with eteganle fantaisie.
I must say that the little pink note had a
bitter-sweet peremptory tone. Truly she begged,
but those who have had much to do with tbe
fjreat know that when they thus coude?cend
something dire awaits the hearer who does not
instantaneously comply, even without any
breaklast wha"rc,
Ms pretty grey was therefore immediately
put to my little conveyance, and did not stop
its nimble pace till it was drawn up oefore a
very aristocratic dwelling. 1 was led into a
hall, and thence admitted into a spacious apart
ment in which thirty-tive seamstresses, with a
sprinkling- ot tailors, hall buried in velvets and
satins, were all busily occupied. The Princess'
robes were all finished; and tbe middle ot the
room was taken up by white deal packing
boxes, with lids open, waiting to be nailed down
till Fashion's ctalf mistress had glanced over
the whole.
fcOn my return home I gave Fashion an account
of what I had seen, aiid hereby enclose the
copyof my letter to her. I tiave since been
intoimed that i-he read it out loud to her atten
dant, Folickonne, and expressed her approval
ot the contents by Irequent nods ot her ima'4i
, native head. It was directed to the "Rue des
I ion Enlants," and began with a plain
I ' Madame: Not bein? acquainted with M'me
la Piincesse de Meiternich's banker, I titd it
utterly impossible to satisfy you as to the
amount of money she has spent on her Com
piegne outfit. 1 believe her to be ignorant of
the fact herself, as might uNo be the Prince and
the said banker, too, tor there are unfathom
able mysteries in this world as well as in the
next, and my opinion is that dress is one o
those chaotic incommensurables (Fashion is
very fond of letters lull . f long hard words no
one can understand) which perplex human in
tellect. There are, as yo .r aecree decided, ten
court robes, and tbey really surpass anything
1 vor seen. Thev are neurly all evening dresses,
joupu two or three w uld have both high and
lv bodies; but I will only describe those which
hI to be worn very low.
ur orders as to circumference have been
(ed, the bottom of all the vobes measuring
mmi five metres, eighty centimetres. The
'wcthit eacn train is two metres.
Vheyjre all gored from the waist; all the
front withs are Hat; the folds are plaits behind.
Ihtyareaiso all lined throuirh with stiff mus
lin, and aether distinctive teature peculiar to
all la thst hey finiih round the bottom with a
plisse flouo? bordered with white poult de
soie or sat4, lomewhat deep and lined with stiff
tulle.
I wNl bxin with No. 1. It is composed of
white tulle, the lront width is spangled with
silver, the rtsse round tbe bottom is of white
crene de cW, which is not lined with tulle,
headed with i ruche. Over the whole, except
in front, the lanteau de cour, whi:h is made ot
velours itupeial or silk reps, tea-rose color,
bordered with plisse oi crept; de chine like the
ekirt. The rlo-ers to suit this tea-rose tunic are
exotics, tor no European tiower has the peculiar
shade requirec They are luxuriant branches
of clinging biosome in variegated leaves.
No. 2 is a whi satin robe, the pliso round
the bottom surmounted by three rows of gold
galoon over a deep eold fringe. It is most
regal. The bod, all white satin and gold
thread blonde, ii very low: but it would per
haps be as well nt to talk about the bodies, for
they are simply unethinir betweeu corsets and
straps to preventktrts from dropping.
No Sisiho ont I admired the most. It is
inade of white pout de soie. Half way down
begins a little tlource, which is gathered at the
top and round the bottom, just at the head of
the last plisse, wbeu one ol the most wonderful
wreaths ol open wnte roses encircle the whole
train and skirt. Eatb rose is a ceutiiolio and
hat, in the centre ot four buds; tnus forming a
rosette between eiuh two leaves, and so on.
Over the whole, but not long enough to touch
the garland, fulls a ult reps manteau da cour,
ponceau color. borUred with rows of silver
braid. The body U tulle and luce something,
with a slash ot the p.noeau, and a rose or two
No. 4 is supposed it be the KmpresB' favorite.
It is again a white t0rded silk, covered with
tulle, having a wide rnauve velvet train imme
diately above the tina tulle pli.-se. The front
width is l.teraliy shovered over with violets,
which are caught, one )y one, with a bud, in
tbe tulle, up to tbe wait, ttLd the same trim
ming behind, one metre oPp. All these artia
ticittl violets are perfumwl and scent the air.
Mauve velvet violets ami tuie lorm the bodies.
No, 6 is the Anrora Boreal i-a white tulle train
robe covered with lavender wreaks, two shades
which represent grey monjne, and again,
rtreuks of white satin which svoot out beyond
like rockets. Tke whole is t,eei, behind a cloud
ot tulle tunic.
No. 6 is a black velvet empire embroidered
These, Madame, are the fashions which have
been executed according to your sugections,
and, I must say. very ably. I was told that the
Princess danced for joy in each of thorn when
they wcie tried on. She is tall, thin, and has a
perfect figure. It is r.ot likely you will combine
anything more sumptuous than the above robes
for tbe approaching winter, and may I hope I
shall soon have a missiou to describe plain every
day cloihes. Compiegne and Austrian Ambassa
dresses are very welcome, but I have a vast
arrcar ol useful, practical, and home gear to
impart. There is atrrcatdeal of altering and
shifting to propose to mothers of grownup
daughters, who, though they are not Ambassa
dresses, have inordinate desires and no idea of
trot id manatement. TrusMna I may soon be
allowed to impart how industry can. with our
present styles, make up lor every deficiency, I
remain, Arovsing.
Bchamyl Bowing' Before the Czar. Schamyl,
the famous Circassian chief, who recently made
his submission to tbe Emperor of Russia,
was among the earliest to congratulate the im
perial tamily on the marriage of the Czarewitch.
In his speech to Alexander he said:
"II there be a man upon earth worthy to represent
God Almighty, that nun, sire, is yourself. It there
bo a throtio founded upon the hearts of men, that
throne is yours. Hire, 1 wish it to be known every,
wliero that it old bchamyl, of Daghoetan, whoiougnt
against your arms tor thirty years, experiences a
regret at tbe decline ot hisdayo, it is only because
he cannot be born again to devote his whole llie to
the sei vice of your empire."
The Emperor thanked Schamyl for the senti
ments expres-ed by him, remarking: "I know
you are loyal. I know you are an upright man.
1 accept your wishes, beina certain that they
come lrom the depth of jour heart." Schamyl
then, turning to the ffinpress, delivered a
speech.
Again addrosslng the Czar, Schamyl said:
"M; eon is my representative In my Id age. In
the persou of this young man Mchamyl himself sorves
your Majesty. May he have long year to devote to
your Majesty's service, instead ol bis old father 1"
A correspondent writes: "At the moment of
dismissing the venerable visitor, his Majesty
shook hands with him. Schamyl, overpowered
with his ieelings, caught hold ot the Emperor's
arm, acd prostrated himself before him. The
Emperor raised him and left the apartment.
On the same day, Schamyl was also presented
to the Crown Prince of Prussia and Grand Duke
Michael. At all these audiences he spoke Arabic,
the language used on solemn occasions in his
native hills. His own tongue is Tartar."
Should Women Ride Astride! The Swctator
thinks that the modified Bloomer dress worn by
Dr. Mary Walker, now in England, is ugly, t.nd
not defensible on the ground of beiug more
healthlul than the dress commonly worn by
women; butlt asserts the right of any woman
to wear the dress. It adds that on this and some
other simitar matters it is useless to argue with
prejudice-bound Britons: "The true argumeut
is the right of choice, and In denying it society
is injuring Itself, just as it is Id denying women
the right of ridiug as they choose. So 'flxed is
this particular form of oppression, that English
society will not even discuss it, refuses to enter
tain the question, would condemn a dosen
leaders of lashion if they made tbe attempt to
introduce a reform. Tbey might walk into a
ball-room dressed a la Josephiue thut is, un
oressed to the and iho only result would
be a Rmi disappearance, ttf-nnVnr, iur
dare not for their lives ride astride. Yet there
is absolutely no reason, either of convenience,
or security, or modesty, in favor of the side
saddle, not one single urgument which ought
even to have a hearing when opposed to the dis
tinct right, subject to the laws of morality, to
ride as they please. We do not say there are
reasons tor abolishing the side-saddle, for,
though we think there are, that is not the point.
A woman has a right to ride English fashion, or
Turkish lashion, or Chinese fashion, if he
chooses, anc! society loses in refusing to concede
the choice."
Lftntmn's Dictionary of Congress. The third
edition of the "Dictionary of the United States
Congress," by Charles Lanman, has just ap
peared from the (iovernment printing officer in
Washington. It has been revised and brought
down to the 28th of July, 18U6. From a careful
examination we perceive that the present
edition is more complete as well as more cor
rect than either of its predecessors. It is to be
regretted that many ot tbe biographical sketches
of members ot Coneress are very meagre, but
it is not remarkable: tbe completeness of the
woik is rather a matter of wonder. The volume
would be more useful, as well as attractive, If
the sketches could be made more elaborate and
incidents given; but this would require a large
increase or space, and wou'd materially chanue
the purpose of the compiler. Such men as
John Savage, William Nelson, A. M. Schermer
horn, Mariu9 Schoonmuker, and Bishop Per
kins ought to have been more fully noticed.
But the reader, while wishing that tbe boos
had been made more tliorouch as a historical
produciion, will be gratified the ottener he has
occasion to consult it, and find it as good as it
is. The compiler is sparing no pnins to make it
still more full and valuable in future editions.
An Eastern Expedition. The Bangkok Re
corder mentions that a Mr. Appleing has just
made the journey across the Malay Peninsula to
Bangkok. lie sailed in a small boat from
Penang to Kopa; stopping on the way at Queda,
Tonga, and Ponga. From Kopa he went on
elephants across the Peninsula, through Baudan
and Chiya to Cuampon, wheuce he continued
his journey by sailing-boat to Thacien and
Bangkok, in doing this he was three months
and seventeen days, including stoppages. The
mountain passes ure described as "hfcthly ro
mantic aud exciting," the population is very
sparse, aud much ot the foil, though excelleut,
is totally uncultivated. The authorities with
whom Mr. Appleing came in contact were very
obliging, except in the tardiness with which
they provided means of carriage.
"A Lecturer" amonir Highwaymen "Mark
Twain," the California humorist, has been made
the victim of a very practical joke, while
(rossins the mountains from California to Vir
ginia City, Nevada, on a lecturing tour. A pri
vate letter tells the story as follows: "The
boys at Virginia have perpetrated a cruel 'goak'
on Twain. Several of them disguised them
selves as highwaymeu, aud, capturing him on
the Divide, relieved him of several hundred
dollars (proceeds of his lectures), goll watch,
etc. He thought it a stern reality until just as
he was about to frtart back to California, when,
after being seated in the staue, the missing
valuables, together with the masks worn by
the robbers, were handed to him in tho presence
ot a lnuehiuB crowd. Murk failed to Hee the
point of the joke."
A New French Breech-Loader Lieutenant
Bonniu, of the trench navy, "has presented to
the Emperor his new breeou-loader, and it has
been much admired by his Majesty. Experi
ments are to be made with it at Vinceunes. A
correspondent says: "Chaasepot's musket, not
withstanding the noise made about it, has not
bepn adopted. Neither, however, has it been
rejected it is 'under consideration.' The groat
dilliculty the French military authorities hud
with the breech-loader submitted to them is
the want of a cartridge which shall bo without
danger, not liable to deterioration from damp,
not too heavy, not too dear.aud be easily made."
