FRENCH DRESSES. The small details -that go to make up the style and beauty of French dresses are fully displayed at the late autumn openings at the more exclusive houses. The general designs were heralded early in the season, but these stylish features and minutiffi of the toilet are decided by the latest importations. The basques of handsome silk dresses —either black, dark-colored or light toilets for evening —are far more fancifully made than the plain corsages of street suits of wool stuffs. The front of the basque may be rounded, pointed or cut in two or four long, square-cornered pieces; its edges are merely piped, corded or else simply lined. The sides of the basque are not slashed and extend over the hips, though not so deeply as in the cuirass pattern. The back has from three to five seams instead of the plain French back with one seam; the seams under the arms are placed very far behind, as also are the short. high -shoulder scams.—The back., and side forms widen below the waist, and instead of being laid in flat postilion pleats are arranged in various devices. A fancy of Worth’s extends each of the four forms of an English back in a loop of the silk doubled, and four other loops are placed under these, making eight loops each 1 about a finger-length deep. A second basque has the side bodies widened below the waist, trimmed on the upper edge with jet galloon and below with fringe, then tied in a broad bow r that rests on middle forms of the basque; this bow at the back has a pretty bouffant effect, and is repeated in various ways. A third English back, also from Worth’s, has the middle forms broadened to half a yard below- the taper of the waist, lined plainly with the silk ofThe dress, and held in a square, slightly-pleated basque; the regular side bodies are longer than the middle forms, are over a finger-length broad, fringed on the edge, and arc draped or festooned on the square basque, where a single strap of silk holds them. This simple device makes the most beautiful basque seen on the new dresses. Darts of the basque front are quite low, and tlie high shoulder, seams do not stop abruptly against the neck, but are curved upward- in order to give the high neck of dresses now in vogue. Standing collars of silk or velvet, made flaring or else in the English style, with turned-over points, add to t e height, and are found on most dresses; sometimes the back of the neck has a boxpleating like a ruff, though this is not as universal as collars are. The Marie Antoinette collar, with square, rounded or pointed revers coming low r (low-n on the bosom, is also restored to favor after its disappearance for two years. Trimmings of basque fronts follow the outline of the voluminous garniture of the neck, and there are also many vest-shaped trimmings, though few- vests are inserted. The back has flat bias hands tapering at the waist, extending down the entire middle seams, or else it is entirely plain, showing only the gracefully-curved seams of the forms. Buttons with button-holes and the new long-looped bows fasten the basque. A new scalloped front is lapped, and has long narrow scallops bound with silk lapping from alternate sides, with two small buttons in each, and loops of silk drooping under the scallops. "Sleeves of the close coat shape have also close cuffs of very simple shape and well-de-fined edges,, showing merely a piping or the silk with which they are lined. They have also a stiff interlining to hold them in shape. These cuffs are opened in the outer seems far enough to show the white frill beneath, and point downward as well as upward, and sometimes both ways, being concave in the middle, where a band of jet galloon or of ribbon, or else doubled silk, passes arouDd them and is tied in a tiny bow. -Sometimes there are two small cuffs, one of silk, the other of velvet, and in this case both are turned tfce same way. Single cutis have the outer lower edge turned up in triangular shape. Many sleeves are finished by two side-plaited frill s turned downward toward the hand and headed by a “ bracelet” of the silk tied in a bow. This fashion is pretty for pinked ruffles edged with narrow lace. A demi-trained skirt accompanies the basque just described for hbuse and carriage toilets of silk ; and we may add here that these suggestions are made after inspecting large importations of black silk dresses from the best Parisian houses. One leading modiste has a room filled entirely with black silk dresses, and the stylish black is formed in toilets for all occasions, from handsome mourning wrappers of black lustrous taffeta up to"rich heavy black failles for. full dress, trimmod with jet embroidery and lace, and having the new transparent sleeves,,of lace. To return to skirts — the trimmings on the bottom are elaborate in front, while in many cases the three back breadths are plain on the edge, or else form a fan train of boxpleats, or perhaps have a deep Spanish flounce edged with pleating; a few have three straight, scant flounces, with knifepleating on the edge for trimming back Front flounces vary in depth according to the tablier above them, and consist mainly of knife pleatmgs and shirred puffs. One of Worth’s hand■Somest designs for black silk skirts has two knife-pleatings turned downward, and two narrow upright ones above, while between these is a shirring or else puffs drawn in three cords, vyith narrow, gathered ruffles on each side resting- on the side pleats. This is not especially novel, but is very effective whep made
very full. Tabliers of silk efresses are sometimes two lapped scarfs fringed on the edge ; others have lengthwise bands of bias velvet, about five in number, running into the flounces below; tabliers of horizontal folds with a row of fringe or of side pleating between the groups of folds are still liked, and there are sometimes two or three fringed and festooned aprons that are very dressy, but the single .long apron and the round apron overskirt are seldom seen in silk dresses, though most appropriate for woolen fabrics. Some black silk dresses are 'elaborate with jet embroidery, applied after being wrought in tulle, and others have jet fringe and the jet galloon made of cords and beads, though very little vine passementerie is seen. WOOLEN SUITS FOR THE STREET. While house dresses consist merely of a basque and demi-train street suits of wool stuffs retain an over dress of some kind. The long apron proves to be the favorite style, and in many cases the apron is extended to form a regular overskirt. The latest designs have a sloped seam down the middle of the apron, making it almost bias, as wool goods cling more closely and drape better when cut bias. This seam is either hidden by one of many rows of jet galloon or Titan braid, or perhaps the seam is not concealed but is ornamented by a series of four or five long-looped bows.— Harper'# Bazar. - -
A Confederate Story.
—At a recent political gathering in Tuseumbia, Ala., Gen. Cullen A. Battle related the following touching story: During the winter of 1863-4 it was my fortune to be President of one of the courts-martial of the army of Northern Virginia. One bleak December morning while the snow covered the ground and the winds howled around our camp I left my bivouac fire to attend tlie session of the court. Winding for miles along uncertain paths I at length arrived at the court-ground at Round Oak Church. Day after day it had been our duty to try the gallant soldiers of that army for violations of military law, but never had I on any previous occasion been greeted by such anxious spectators as that morning awaited the opening of the court. Case after case was disposed of and at length the case of “ The Confederate States vs. Edward Cooper” was called—charge, desertion. A low murmur arose from the battle-scarred spec-, tators as a young artilleryman rose from the prisoners’ bench and in response to the question “ Guilty or not guilty V” answered “ Not guilty.” The Judge Advocate was proceeding to open the prosecution when the Court, observing shat the prisoner was unattended by counsel, interposed and inquired of the accused, “ Who is your counsel?” He replied, “I have no counsel.” Supposing that it was his purpose to represent himself before the court, the Judge Advocate was instructed to proceed. Every charge and specification against the prisoner was sustained. The prisoner was then told to introduce his witnesses. He replied, “ 1 have no witnesses.” —Astonished at the calmness with which he seemed to be submitting to what he regarded as an inevitable fate, I said to him, “Have you no defense? Is it possible that you abandoned your comrades and deserted your colors iu the presence of the enemy without any reason?” He replied, “ There was a reason, but it will not avail «ie before a military court.”' I said: “Perhaps you are mistaken; you are charged with the highest crime known to military-law and ..-it-. Ts your, duty to make known the causes that influenced your actions.” For the first time his manly form trembled and his blue eyes swam in tears. Approaching the President of the court he presented a letter, saying, as he did so, “There, General, is what did it.” I opened the letter, and in a moment mv eyes filled with tears. It was passed from one to another of the court until all had seen it, and those stern warriors who had passed with Stonewall Jackson through a hundred battles wept like little children. Soon as I sufficiently recovered my selfpossession I read the letter as the defense of the prisoner. It was in these words: - My Dear Edward—l have always been proud of you, and since your connection with the Confederate army I have been prouder of you than over before. I would uot have you do anything wrong for the world; but, before God. Edward, unless you come home we must die! Last night I was aroused by little Eddie's crying. I called and said: What's the matter, Eddie?” and he said: “Oh, mamma. I'm so hungry!” and Lucy, Edward, your darling Lucy, she never complains, but she is growing thinner and thinner every day. And before God. Edward, unless you come home we must die. ' Your Mary. Turning to the prisoner, I asked: “ What did you do when you received this letter?” He replied; “I made ap- ' plication for a furlough and it was rejected; again I made application and it ■was-rejected, and that night as' I wandered backward and forward in the camp, thinking of my home, with the mild eyes of Lucy looking up to me, and the burning words of Mary sinking* in my brain, 1 was no louger the Confederate soldier, but I was the father of Lucy ancl the husband of Mary, and I would have passed Those lines if every gun in the battery had fired upon me. I went to my home. Mary ran out to meet me, her angel arms embraced me, and she -whispered: ‘O! Edward, lam so happy! I am so glad you got your furlough!’ She must have felt me shudder, for she turned pale as death, and catching her breath at every word she said: ‘Have you come without yodr furlough? O! Edward, Edward, go back! go back! Let me and my children go down together to the grave, but O! for heaven’s sake, save the honor of our name !’ And- here I am, gentlemen, not brought here by military power, but in obedience to the command of Mary, to abide the sentence df your court.” Every officer of that court-martial felt the force of the prisoner’s words. Bgfore them stood, in beatific vision, the eloquent pleader for a husband’s and’ a father’s wrongs; but they had been trained by their great leader, Robert E. Lee, to tread the path of duty-though the lightning’s flash scorched tlie ground beneath their feet, and each in his turn pronounced the . verdict— guilty. Fortunately for humanity, fartunately for the Confederacy, the'proceedings of the court were reviewed by the commanding General, and upon the record w;ys written : * Headquarters. A. N. Y-—The finding oCthe court is approved. The prisoner is pir,doued and will report to his company. * hi K. E. Lee. General. During the second-battle of Ctold Harbor, when shot and ball were falling like “torrents from the mountain cloud,” my attention was directed to the J»ct that one of our batteries was being silenced by the concentrated fire of the enemy. When I reached the battery every gun but one had beep dismantled, ind by it stood a solitary Confederate soldier,
with the blood streaming from his side. As he recognized me lie elevated his voice above the roar of the battle and said: “General, I have one—shell left. Tell me, have I saved the honor of Mary and Lucy?" I raised my hat. Once more a Confederate shell yvenj; crashing through the ranks of the enemy, and the hero sank by his gun to rise no more. A Detroit lady, who has been in California for some months past, started for home the other day and one of her relatives went to the telegraph office in Sacramento and notified the husband in Detroit, saying: “Your wife starts this morning.” So far so good, but he didn’t have money to pay for the dispatch, and, feeling a little cheap over it, he added to the telegram: “ I haven’t pAid for this dispatch—left my money at" home ; Will make it all right the next time I write to you.” The twenty-two extra words made a bill which caused the Detroiter to turn pale.
