THE SARATOGA BELLE. Writing to the New York Mall, "Sophie Sparkle" has this to say about the charming creatnres who wear the honors of the highest society title: "Tbe

Saratoga belle of to-day la by

no means, in appearance at least, tbe same creature as the belle of last season. "She is exceedingly quaint ick to

garb, having gone far' back to tbe me(literal ages in quest of trinkets for her adornment, bat she is Just as charming as ever, nevertheless, and just as fatal to the fancied security of peace in a man's heart. She looks, as wo have before hinted, like some fair vision of female loveliness painted hundred of years ago, and stepping down from her niche in some old picture gallery to sway hearts and command adoration as she did of yore. Her oostly robe foils closely around her graceful form, the heavy "folds being clasped at the back with buckles of quaint device. Crinoline is. tbank Heaven! at last discarded. A belt, which la fastened behind with great claups of silver, on which are carved Olympian heads (Apollos, of course, preferred,) encircles her tiny waist, and from this belt depend a number of alender chains, to which are attached the ever-essential fan, viniagrette, and ether knlckICDACkSi

That tho ruff may reign with blissful security, ber dark or golden tresses are arranged In a queenly coronet of braids or puffs ujion tbe top of her bead, where the huge comb which dolighted the heart of bor ureal grandmother keeps stately guard. Her fan, of astonishing proportions, reminds us of the olden times, when mothers were wont to correct their wayward daughters by severe chastisement, with this self-same style of fan These fans are of silk and satin, and gorgeous with painted llowers. We must not omit to mention tho romarkable buttons which are no longer tho size of the butter cups, but rather resemble tbo saucers. "It is universally remarked that there area greater number of beautiful bellos at Saratoga this summer than for some seasons past—the prevailing type of beauty being the maiden with the divine blue eyra and nut-brown hair, although we have of course the sparkling brunette aud tbo sunny-hair-ed blonde."

DIE WITHM FA VE TO T1IE FOE,u A writer in tho Louinvlllo CourierJournal tells the billowing amuning story of tho rebellion

A singlo shot, followed by a loud shriek, told us that ono of my best men, Bradley, was wounded. He proclaimed his agony with a loud voice, turned over on his back, and commenced kicking so vigorously that the surgeon had dilllculty In getting in reach of him.

Poor follow said tho doctor, as ho saw the whitish liquid oozing out 'shot in the bladder. I am afraid It's fatal.'

And he commenced opening his coat. Oh, my Uod Bald Bradley. 'I am a dead man. I'll never get over It.'

Koon up your spirits, mv boy never say die, said Capt. Johnson, kneeling over him.

Doctor,* asked tho woundod ooldler, foebly, "will vuu write to my mother, and toll her that I died bravely, doing mydutv, with my faco totho foe, and that I tfiought of her when I wusdyinis?'

Yes, yes,'said tho doctor, with dim oyes,'Hilda husky voice 'I will writo to her, and tell her, to®.'

But suddenly springing to his foot, with an'lndlgnant volee, added:

Why, confounded It, man, you aro not hurt a bit. It'sonly your canteen that'sshot, and that's tho water from It. (Jet up, will youV

Bradley raised up slowly, felt himself all over, and with an exceedingly foolish countenance, crawled back to his position, amid tho uproarious laughior of tho wholo regiment.

For months alter that, on tho march or In camn, and sotnollnies, In tho stillness of tho night, you would hear a voloe in one direction demanding: •What shall I toll your mothor?'ami perhaps a half a doxen responses would be hoard 'Toil lior I died with my face to tho foe,' and then 'Canteen Bradley' would come out, and angrily hunt for the man that said it. Ho seldom found him, but when he did, thoro was certain to bo a fight.

A I A A O I S S In ICngland the custom formerly obtained of adding to the notion of marriage the amount of tho lady's fortune. Something of tho sort might not be un popular at the present time In this country. It would readily and unmistakably reveal to society what a good or bad match the malo party had made, and savrt considerable trouble to tho gossips, Tho Gentleman's Magaxlne used to announce marriages thus: "Mr. jUsket to Miss Tell, with £.000 "Mr. Davis to Mrs. Wylds, with £100 per annum "The Lord Bishop of St. Asuph to MlssOrell, with jOO.OOOj" "J. Whitcofutie, R*q., to Miss Allen, with £40,000 "Mr. M. TllloUon, tho eminent

Jcers,

ireacher aiuong tho people called Quaand a relative of Archbishop Tlllotaon, to Miss with £7,000 "Mr. 1\ Bown to Miss Nlcholls, of Greenbit he, with £10.000 Sir George C. to Widow Jones, with £10,000 a year besides ready money." At the same time the Scotch—more gallant than their fellow-countrymen of South Britainwhile announcing the amount of bride's fortune, used also to mention her personal and moral endowments, as qualifications scarcely less important than her money. "On Monday isst," runs a matrimonial announce* ment In the Glasgow Oourant(lT47K "Dr. Robert Hamilton, Professor of Anatomy and BoUny in the University of Glasgow, to Miss Molly Ilalrd, a beautiful yoong lftdy with a handsome fortune." Another marriage which occurred in the same Year, is snnnttic*d in tbe same Journal thus: "On Monday last, Mr. James Johnstone, merchant Iti this r4»ce, was married to Miss Parity Newatl, yonng ladr of great merit and a fortune of .£4.000.'*

KOMAXCR *~"OK A KIT it KTtc.—The must romantic Of all numbers is the figure nine, because it can be multiplied awav or got rid of anyhow. Whatever you do it is sure to turn up again as was the body of Eugene Aram •victim. One remarkable property of this figure, (said to have been first discovered bv Mr. Green, who died in 1794,) is that all through tho multiplication table the product nine comes to nloew Multiply by what you like, and It gives the same result. Begin with twice nine, 18 add the digit* together, and 1 and 8 uiake 9. Three times nine M* 27 and 2 and 7 ere 9. So it goes on,

any extent it is impossible to get rid of the figure nine. Take a couple of instances at random: Three hundred and thirty*nioe times nine are 3.051 add up the figures and they are nine. Five thousand and seventy-one tltnws nine are 4S,6»»
