Ere yet the decaying tooth of Autumn lias touched
With its flight the forest tree or tho Harden bunh;
re yet the gore and yellow leaf has Insinuated Itself
among the grernpr foliage: ere yet chilly breezes
nestle with sounds of coming cold, Dame FaBliion,
ever In advance of tho time, blazons the announce
ment that she Is ready for tho coming season, with
Styles to delight the hearts of the fiilr ones, and
dresses to mttko their eyes sparkle In eagerness.
She la a forward Dame extravagant In habit, plump
and full-breasted In her pictures, but.wlth a wily turn
Of the eye that makes men tliut Is, married men
greet her with a " ye." Caring not for tins, how-
ever, she pursues hor way, and now In contempt In
lnmiodstly preparing to display her eillgy
In the windows of our C'hesnut street
stores. "As we can't stop you, come on, old woman,
and let lis hear and see what you arc going to lo
this fall." First, however, a word of caution and ud
vlce. Don't begin your raid on white piques and
puro muslins too soon. There will be plenty or
Bunny days ami warm evenings before October, days
and evenings when such dresses are grateful, wrap
ping around delicate shoulders, and fluttering
around ankles slender and clean cut, in a whirl of
snowy whiteiH'RH that ravlBhes the imagination of
the beholder. Don't then, for a while at least, dis card
such wear that warm-breathed Summer placet
on Innocence, that half hides, half reveals the
beauties you would cover with the Impenetrable
garments of fall. Demanding compliance
on your part with this request, we
are ready now to examine your gouds, and
chronicle for public information the styles you pro
pose. Ah! wo sue Hint you possess au artist judg
ment. These new shades In silks for evening wear
re rich and lovely. First, here Is coral color ; tho
exact tinge of the ornaments, shaded to match the
ear-drop and breast-p'n, like a dull roue dc chine In a
golden light; a soft color, admirably suited to a bru
nette It lights to perfection, ami displays best with
foamy puttings of tulle and white satlu ribbons.
Here, too, is the demure grey purple. It is a favorite
hade abroad, Is It not? It fairly sparkles when soon
With black laces over white silk bands. Emerald
green Is a favorite color too ; and ashes of roses
comes high in favor as a color for the street, as well
as for evening wear. That for evening is a tender
purplish rosy drab ; for the street a more sober tint
Is worn. Now your ear a moment; will you not
enlighten us about the numes of the colors? Half-a-dozen
new shales appear each year, which
few people can rightly name, and sad con
fusion corues in consequence. This Introduction of
new colors, too, bears hard on tho milliner, the mo
dixte, and the salesman, for people will not consider
them auait In their business until the distinctions of
shades are correctly appreciated and understood.
In pink there urn live shades commonly used, known
as Blondlne, a delicate whitish tinge, like that of
bluish roses: rose, color, soft and charming (rose
sublime and roue de Allien are rarely seen); rose
pink, roue de chine, which approaches cherry ; and
the purplish pinks, known as Solfcrlnos. In blue the
same confusion obtains. Milk blue Is the palest;
blue celeste, empress, azullue, Marie Louise, Alex
andra, and Mexican blue deepen according to their
order. For short dresses, the Alexandra blue, car
buncle, sultan, ruby, and maroon similes of red,
emerald, and vloline are the variety.
Now for a stroll uniong the stores. Here we meet
the color called the "peacock's neck" a changing
metallic color llko frog green or Bea-tlnt. It Is shown
In heavy gros-graln, 25 Inches wide, at ii a yard.
1'mtlt-de-noic Is a lighter silk, of nearly tho same ap
pearance as (irM-irain, and quite as much esteemed

the wMest ; jro on siitixne moderate, and yroi de,
Londrcn the litiest. The last Is rated at f-50 a yard.
They all wear well.
Ah! while here among the silks we cannot pass by
the wedding goods. How lovely they are In their
snowy niacniilcence! White gros-graln, 25 inches
wide, at J7 to $s a .vanl. White armures are newer

From Our Own Corrc)miwrnu
Nkw York, Awr. M, HW.
A lipvv of Theatrical niul ;l iiilc.il People
Failed for this port yesterday from England and
France. Anions them were Mrs. Dr. Crowe
(Miss Bateman), Mad'llo Carlotla Rntti, Mr.
Theodore Hitter, and M. Strakonrh. There has
been no effort as yet to pud Miss Ratoman.
Her father has been here lor the last week or
two, but the old gentleman has kept commend
ably quiet and not bothered the "oyster supper
critics'' with eulogies of "My daughter Kate,"
and the "infant." Miss Bateman, I presume,
will nt once seize upon the old n (lections of the
New York publie, uud deserves to, for she Is a
jootl woman and an excellent actress, and now
that she is married and no longer hampered by
"papa," carries out her own ideas of the. char
acters she individualizes without bcin goaded,
nt rehearsals, into bursting into tears. She will
make her first appearance in this city on Sep
tember iHK in hall, and after that piny has run
its course will produce J'ielra.
The Worrell Sislorit
hold such au exalted position in the realm of
histrionic art that you will be glad to learn that
a reconciliation has been effected between the
soft-hearted Sophy, the juvenile Jenny, and the
irate Ircuo. This is due to the friendly manipu
lations of Mr. Clifton W. Tayleurc, the great
peacemaker of the coulisses. "Let the bond of
love hold three," he exclaimed in the words of
the tyrant Dionj-eius to Damon and Pythias,
and now the bond of love, or at least the bond
of business expediency, does hold 'em, and in
such a Gordiun knot as I hope will never be un
tied, or even cut, again.
Messrs. Lord & Taylor, of this city, are con
structing, at the corner of Broadway and Twen
tieth street,
A illafrnificrnt Ntorr,
which, like the last new baby, is unlike anything
the world ever saw before. I have seen tho
plans and undergone explanation at the tongue
of the architect, but the only ideas that have
been beaten into my poor brain is that the new
structure bus no prototype in this city, or, in
deed, on this continent. Ills expected to beat
Stewart's hollow. The front is to be entirely of
bronze, and the great feature of the structure
will be its unique succession of pavilions, giving
it a triangular tendency, ami introducing an In
definite quantity of ground glass. It will cover
one hundred and forty-seven feet upon Broad
way, uud nearly two hundred feet upon Twen
tieth street, and will "take down" every other
dry gouds shanty in Gotham.
ProlcMtor llt-iu-v,
of the .Smithsonian Institute, AVasliington, has
just presented to the. Zoological Dcparliiiout of
Central Park two black swans (aiatcj). The
fowl are now disporting themselves in the
Park's pellucid lakes, and, being black, will
doubtless afford the fancy reporter of the Suit,
of this city, an opporuiuity of getting up, as a
companion article to his recent one on the trans
migration of the soul, another one on ntetempxy
chical in isc venation!
i'olicc Jnwlice Ilounn,
on Saturday last, performed another marriage
service which united two noble creatures. Ouo
was Count Alexauder Notecz Sadowsky, and the
ithcr Miss Alexandra AugustynowicU. Tho
Count is a Pole, thirty years of age. and a resi
dent on Ninth street of this city. The Countess
is a Russian, ten years younger, aud an inhabi
tant of Fifth street. Tho lady had been divorced,
it is stated, just four hours, and was as radiaut
as a divorcee under bucIi heart-rending circum
stances could be expected to be. Judge Barnard
performed the ceremony, aud pronounced his
blessing amid an atmosphere in which the flavor
of fish was decidedly prominent.

"dumped" In the metropolitan markets in one
day, and then smack your lips over the sum
total ! Peaches on all sides, forrainr a pomolo-
gical plethora, and It is a felicitous coincidence
that the same letters w jich spell "peach" spell
cheap, bo cheap are the peaches and so lino
is their flavor, that our Street Commissioner,
Mr. McLean, thought he couldn't do a bettor
thing than present some to various New York
bcnevolcntaisociatlonsfor juveniles. Which thing
bath he done, greatly to the Joy of ornhaued
urchiuhood.
On Monday evening the
Hebrew Vounu .lieu' Uierary AhhocIriIom
gave an amateur theatrical performance in
Pythagoras Hall, in Canal street. This society
is not yet one year old, having been organized
in October, 1818, but It includes a large propor
tion of influential Jewish residents of this city.
At ijuite an early hour lu tho evening tho vici
nity of tkc hall was crowded with ladles and
gentlemen. The ubiquity of the swallow
tail coat on the part of the gentlemen,
aud of low-necked dresses on the part of the
ladies, proclaimed that the affair was ouo of eti
quette as well as entertainment. The portion of
the performance which was greeted with most
applause was that wherclu Mr. 8. Stein gave the
prison scene of "Alonzo" In the burlesque of
J'izarro. This was succeeded by a speech of
thanks on the part of Mr. Stein, and the speech
was succeeded by a ball, uud the ball by a sup
per, which pleasantly cmoloyed the maxjllary
and masticatory functions of the guests UUtil

John Brougham has jtiBt arrived here from
Snn Francisco. I hope, the $7000 which he
raised here at bis recent benefit has not yet been
dissipated, for John has not saved as much as
he ought to have done, and thoso twinges of
rheumatism which he lias, and which appear to
forget that be Is a comedian and not to bo
visited by tkc afflictions common to less gifted
humanity, ought to remind him that the. rainy
daj lor which it will seem good to have laid up
is (gradually approaching, and will not spare
him. Whatever his friends may say, bis receut
season at the California theatre was not a suc
cessful one. The management bad to cngago
Ellsc Holt to attract the audience. This being
the case, I cannot believe that J. B. omitted to
produce that chef d'mivre, Tlie lottery of Lifr.
If the "trash" which he declared the public of
New York and Philadelphia wanted was not too
flippant for those cities, I should have supposed
the San Franciscans might worry down a little
of it.
Madame Anna Bishop, the number of whose
vocal years some unkind newspaper paragraphist
has been cynical enough to remember, arrived
in town yesterday. I hope she will not give a
concert. "What becomes of all the worn-out
jirima donnas, ' would make a capital magazine
urlicle, which I hope to see some day treated of
by one well up In the subject. We have enough
here in New Yoik to constitute a good-sized
directory of themselves. Do 1 pity or compas
sionate them ? Not in the least. They have had
their day. They were better paid than any other
class of people under the sun. They have had
abundant opportunities of laying up a snug for
tune. They have no kind of moral right to
squander their means and then expect, in their
old age, to be well received by a public upon
whom they bestow only the shreds of a voice.
These remarks may uot npply to Madame
Bishop. I hope they do not; but I have learned
too sad nud cynical a lesson lrotn cantatriccs'
agents who prowl around improvising brilliant
romances about the voices of their played-out
principals, to entertain any expectations but
doleful ones of any prima donna past her
meridian.
Lloyd Annlnwall,
the President of the Nassau Boat Club, wants a
"reception" gotten up in favor of the Harvard
Four when they return. He is of the opinion
that they need one badly, more now than they
would have, had they been successful. He
therefore invites the officers of other clubs to
meet at the Nassau Boat CI lib-House, Thirty
fourth street and North river, next Thursday, at
two o'clock, for consultation. When the Eng
lish wish to express their admiration for a man
they "dine" him; when we wink to do the same
thing wo "receive" him. Each Is an idiosyn
cratic exponent of the Anglo-Saxon udmiratiou
of merit. Ai.t B.vu.v.

THE TEXAS CAMPAIGN.
If anybody was the Conservative or Demo
cratic candidate in Texas for Governor except
Jack Hamilton, the Democrats would have little
trouble lu carrying the State. As it Is, how
ever, tho Republicans are uot without bopo of
success. Apart from his chequered political
record, Jack Hamilton has nothing In bis perso
nal character to command admiration or respect.
Even the Rebels, who arc not over fastidious, arc
not so enamored of Hamilton as the accounts in
the Democratic papers would lead one to sup
pose. A niau who keeps himself habitually
drunk, and who borrows and never
pays, can have few friends even in so
benighted a region as Texas. The late Thaddciis
Stevens was one of the victims of Hamilton.
While professing rampant radicalism he bor
rowed a considerable amount of money front the
old man, which he never paid, aud probably
never intended to pay. I am informed by a
gentleman just from Texas that Hamilton's
chances of election are growing less every day,
while those of General Davis, his Republican
opponent, are increasing. Mauy of the old
Rebels will not vote at all, and while a majority
of thofc who do vote will undoubtedly go for
Hamilton, the more respectable class will vote
for Davis, who is not only u sound Republican,
but a man of ability and a gentleman, which is
more than can be said for Hamilton.
A MISINKOKMliO COUKKSl'ONUKNT.
On Saturday last the Washington correspondent
of your contemporary, the BuUvliu, telegraphed
that paper as follows:
"It is not, perhaps, generally known that the
ispauisn liovernnieut, since tho revolution a year
ago, has had no regularly accredited Minister at
ashiugtou. .Senor Lopez Roberts, who represented
Spain here under the reien of Isabella, was directed.
when the new liovernnieut was organized, to remain
here temporarily until the Internal affairs of Spain
couui ue so urraiiKcu as 10 periuii. me f oreigu .sec.rc
tary to give his attention to the reorganizing of tho
uipiomauc corps.
This is all news here, especially to Senor
Roberts. The misfortuuo Is, however, that it is
not quite as correct as It might have been if the
Bulletin s correspondent had taken the trouble
to post himself a little better on diplomatic
affairs. Jhe impression among tho hebt in
formed people here is that Senor Don Fat-undo
Ooui w as the Envoy Extraordinary nud Minister
Plenipotentiary at ashingtou from the Govern
ineut of her late Catholic Majesty Isabella of
Spain. Gonl was a clever fellow, aud well liked
but he was attached to the unfortunate Queen,
and, of course, had to abdicate. I do not think
it Is "generally known that the Spanish
Government, since the revolution a year ago, has
had no regularly accredited Minister at Wash
ington." It seems to mo that a dozen people
might he found here who have an indistinct
recollection of tlie arrival here, soon after tho
revolution, of one Senor Lopez Roberts, who
was received in due form by the President, aud
who has Biuce resided here us the representative
of the new Spunish regime, whatever it mav be.
The above is of a piece with u good deal of the
news, especially of the diplomatic order, sent
hence by this sumo correspondent.
J. KOH8 DHOWNB CHINA.
tnir late .Minister to China, Mr. J. Ross
Browne, has a brother-in-law residing hero from
whom 1 have ascertained somo-facts which lead mo
to believe that from the first Browno was hostile
. .1 T 1
to me nuiiiugamc embassy, it was a great
nuBiane to send Air. Browuo to China In the
nrst lusiaucc. He lived In California long
cuougn to acquire the prejudices of the people
of that State ugainst Chinamen in general. Ho
carried these with him to China, and they seem
to nave grown upon hlui after he reached there,
He had un Idea that if the Burlingamc treaty
wuu uie i nited States was a success, it would
result not only In Increasing tho Chinese nonu
lation of tho Pacific coast, but in giving them
inq.irmictrea pt the baljot-box. As a cood Cull
foruian, aud a sound Democrat, ho felt it his
duty (9 rcsU UU, UUd be lost, 9 opportunity
from his arrival In China to do it. When Mr.
Burlingamo was here negotiating tho
treaty, I remember hearing him ex
press some fear that Browno would
do just as be has dono. Whatever may Iks tho
fate of the treaty, you may bo suro Browno will
not be troubled going back to China. The
President some time ago expressed himself
to William A. Howard, of Michigan, who was
nominated and confirmed as Browne's successor,
as In full sympathy with Mr. Burllngamo's mis
sion. At that time tho tone of Browne's des-
Datehes to tho State. Denurtment Indicated his
hostility to the embassy, aud Mr. Fish called the
President's attention to the fact. Tho President ,
told Mr. Fish, ns well as Mr. Howard. that ho
did not think Mr. Browne a fit man to repre
sent the United States in China. On account of
bis determination to recall Browne, and his In
ability just then to get a suitable man for the
place, tho President urged Mr. Howard to ac
cept, but tlie latter finally declined the mission.

C'ait, Inland, Aii. 111. The iilitrm winjrlvcm
liy xtrikinir, the bull Known as the Visitors'
C'lmrcU bell, b(;lonrinir to the Methodists, a nil
the unwonted tones of the nlurm bell broke
with terror upon the curs of all the sojourners.
Not binec the destruction of the celebrated
Mount Vernon House, more than ten ye.ira :uo,
has ueh a Btartlin event occurred to arouse tho
hearers from their slimil ers.
It Is a (-Insular coincidence that in each of
these cases tho fire occurred before the early
dawn of rnornlnt;, nnd nt the close of the season,
and it is a yet further coincidence that In
neither case was there any fire upjinratus to
meet and lint off the Humes. The citizens and
vifitors, fully awaro of the peril that threatened
the destruction of the property on the whole
island, turned out at once en manse and with the
heartiest will, aud set to work to try with the
meaiire means at their command to stop the
conflagration; but they niiht as well h.ivo tried
to sw ccp back the resistless tides of the ocean.
There was no Arc engine or hose carriage in
the place, and the use of a single one would have
confined the fire to one or two unimportant
buildings. One hook and ladder company was
on tlie irrouiid. and did cnieiout servioo in
tearing down buildings in the path of tho flames,
and thus endeavored to check the progress of
the conflagration. The citizens aud visitors
worked mauftilly and most uomnieudably in
passing buckets of water to and front adjoining
cisterns uud wells. The ocean being five huu
died feet distant from the -cunc, to their heroic
exertion.- aro due the raving of one half of tho
i.-land from total dei-trui lion.
Within the short space of thirty minutes from
the lir.-t aim m the !! niics had reached to within
twentv feet of the north side of the United
.States Hotel, a building live stories high, with
over six bundled rooms, and last night contain
ing several hundred visitors. At this point, he
noble uinatear firemen made superhuman efforts
to cheek tho fire, because the destruction of this
bouse entailed a vast amount of ad
ditional loss, but all their efforts
were in vain. rl i. flames spread from tho
second to the third, fot rtb. and fifth story verau
dabs, towering up into tho sky, far beyond all
human efforts to control It.
In twenty minutes time this immense struc
ture w as one vast mass of flame, a sheet of Ida.

blazing cinders, that fired all the surrouudin

Tlie Haines were checked at this point on
Washington street at 7 o'clock, and the Ceutr
House was saved by wot cloths, and by th
water played from Congress Hall, together with
the leveliing inward of the former building
while in Humes. A fortunate change of tho wind
about sunrise threw tho Haines directly to th )
eastward, towards the ocean, and preventol
them from crossing Jackson street, otherwis j

Hotels, Congress Hall, aud many other housci
would have been a mass of ruins, and thm
nearly every leading hotel and store would havo
been destroyed.

I'OMtaau MtnuipM.
A report has been circulated that the Postmaster
Geuenil hud annulled the contract with the National
bank Note Company for printing Post otlleo stamps,
because of the fact that a larjre iniiuher of the late
issue had been counterfeited. Such is not tlio ease,
nor in fact has tho question of cancelling the con
tract been before the department. It is not alto
gether lniprohublo that a chungo may be made in
one or two of the denominations for reasons other
tliun that assigned In the report alluded to. The
design and the style of the new sta-nps have beun
severely criticized, as before mentioned. Some of
the Inferior stamps may be superseded by tliosj of
improved quality.
The Cuba Ouemlon.
There is authority for saving that the statement
published In one of your evening contemporaries,
relative to the new proposilion being made to the
(iovernment fur the settlement ol the Cuban ques
tion, Is not truo. Secretary l-'lsh pronounces It not
only untrue but absurd. Senor beams, the Cuban
