From a G/i/ Ue Correspondent.
Wellington, N. Z., July 6. 1S79. Weil, w£ have been having a jolly, good tim^ here. On the fourth day ut' July all /»f our company donned red, white aiW bl-ie rosettes. Even the English iiu-ihbers of the company wore the red, whjt.e and blue out of courtesy to my wiW'anJ me. We were lying off, not showing So in the evening we all attended/the theatre in a body and attracted nu^h attention by our Union colors. At thj theatre, Mr. Dorsay Ogden, an Ame/ican actor, was playing, *o I invited h^n and his lady to our rooms after the t/ieatre was over, and in good champaigp.e we drank toasts to our dear old flay until all the room looked like a star spangled banner.
THE NEW ZEALAND RIVERS aif peculiar mot of them, especially n/ar the mouth, are very wide and very fallow. In the winter season, after jseanon of much rain, they are raging *5rrents, fierce and strong, but during Ihe dry season some of them evaporate entirely, and even the rocky channel be comes overgrown with moss and grass and weeds.
THE RAILROADS
here are all fenced in, and it is against the law to walk on the track or inside the fence. Heavy penalties follow the slightest infraction of these laws, so it is rarely ever that a railroad accident hap pens to any one at a crossing and people ar* seldom or never run over by trains.
This country is A L'AKADIKE FOR LA BORERS. Mechanics' wages average from $3.00 to $5.00 a day, and only eight hours' work. Laborers of the lowest class get $2.or» to $2
50
a day and grumble at that. This country, however, with less than half the population of the state of Indiana, is in debt over ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS OK DOLLARS, *nd is now negotiating a new
4
loan of
tventy millions of dollars. The native Maoris area race of people very peculiar. The men average about five feet eight inehes in height, are well formed, are keen, shrewd and inteligent, and nearly all have heavy, busty, black whiskers. The women are rathjr smaller in size, are a rich brown colo, finely formed with nice smooth, evei teeth and on the whole are rather gooi looking. The native names of pi at-s have been adopted by the whites, so te small railway stations rejoice in riaries like the following: Papanui,
Oaiaru, Timaru, Waiareka, Totirj, Maeno, Wamotu, Waianaharu, Moeraikeil'/.moraimp, Matoewhennariotlena, Awmokopotua, Papakaiome. Totitetumturulero, Maoriwarakaroustalamokelefifolnj. I have forgotton the rest of tlje last tame, but I assure you on my wotd the times are all bona fide names of placi in New Zealand, ho more of this present as my wife is very ill withhe lock-jtw and sore tongue trying to pr^ounce these names and others equal! iice. :HFC CITY OF WELLINGTON is th-Sapital of New Zealand. It i« built tm a hill-side, and has a popntion of fifteen or sixteen thousand people It has many large and elegant builditfc built of woo*!, because about twentyiear& ago there was a violent earthqike that shook down ail the brick luses, but recently there haye been a «mber of disastrous fires, and a« there habecn no earthquakes for twenty years, government have recently passed ordinance prohibiting the erection-any more wooden buildings.
This tow had three theatres until a week ag\%hen the largest and best burned dh. We were to have showed1 in it, and burning down disarranged all of our ^ris and caused me a loss of about $i,oj for my expenses, with my present st^of cmplo) es, are about $50 a day for erv dav I lose by not showing, and I 4 to lose nearly three week# time.
We openjiere Saturday evening, July 5th, to a lai house, packed in fact. A few days ajpne of the members of the N. Z. cabir^or ministry as it is called here) came trie for a private sitting he wanted to at if I could humbug him, and in orde,o get aV.ead of me, in writing his cjtions to the spirits he wrote them tf\e Madri tongue, a language about* iisrd to understand as tli Chinese, id although I of cour.se could not uuc^tand the language of the Maoris, still spirits answered all his interrogations a strange to say, wrote the answers itneMaori language. He was awfully pitfet over it. I am now thinking somehatf leaving the show business and srtin to England as a lecturer for thNew Zealand government to show _ie p&>le there what a fine country thUs tor^jgrants.

LIGHT GUARD CAMP. From HatuiMuy1!* Daily. Ths morning the JLight Guard struck their tents and broke up camp at the Fair grounds. They have had a delightful week out there. The weather has been superb. It has been a succession of star-lit nights when camping was a pleasure. A large crowd of the friend* of the boys went out last evening to see thern drill, to hear the concert given by the Ringgold band and to enjov a little rustication. There was first a drill and then an inspection by the ladies and gentlemen

Supper was then announced at the Howling Wilderness Hotel. The following was printed on pink tinted bills-of-fare: A good many of the guests "messed" with the soldiers.

George Jones' vantriloquht was tl*e ieading card. When the Opera House closed there was a "guard mount," assisted by the Ringgold Band. At eleven o'clock taps sounded and all retired for the night. A part of the members of the Ringgold Band bunked in camp and escorted the Guards to town this morning. A6 the procession came in it wae followed by three busse6 and a baggage wagon.
The Guards expre&6 their thanks to the Ringgold Band for man favors shown.
Tne camp developed a great hostelry— The Howling Wilderness Hotel. This establishment, judging from its register, was well patronized. The leaf of the register bears these warnings and notes: "Guests without baggage must pay in advance.
All money and jewelry should be left with the proprietor before retiring. Guests will find the finest brands of liquors and cigars at the bar (if they can find the bar.) "Justice to all" is our motto.
Williams, Smith & Davies, proprietors Floyd and Shaw chief clerks. It was ttie intention of the GAZETTE to publish the arrivals ol this hotel, but they were so numerous a6 to prevent this scheme being executed in limited space. The familiar chirography of Will Morgan, "proprietor Me* gatherian circus and menagerie" and of Charles T. Appleby, "the hungry man from Marshall" is seen on the books.

THE FALL FASHIONS.
Dress for the Opening of the Autum Season.

TEE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

INNOVATIONS INT MILLINERY.
From the JS'cw Yori Evening Tulegram. There is a smiling beauty presented in the early fail modes. Toilets for the incoming season do not continue the picture of the faded and bedraggled finery coming home from the exciting gayety of the watering place. Society rusticators must necessarily replenish their wardrobes on their arrival home. Fashion is imperious in this respect and dose not countenance dilapidated summer finery when the glowing charms of early autumn arrive. Manufacturers and dress designers have been busy as bees all this' season inventing and perfecting appropriate garments for the fall trade.
NEW DRESS MODELS.
Basques for midsummer wear presented a number of varieties all confined to the patterns. This same freak in designing is carried over to the Autumn modes, showing, however, a handsome list of changes. There is the admirable fitting French back, now giving a few touches here and there of the English back, thus blending in dress the two nations'ideas of toiht elegance. Jack ets suits give promise of becoming great favorites. Those jackets made of cloth are not trimmed, save with neat and superior stitching. The overskirt and jacket are made of the same material, and cari be worn over velvet, 6ilk or cloth skirt. This style is not wholly new. Fashionables will recognize many familiar expressions in this model still the chiet idea in the pattern is new, and this bit of strangeness fulfils the desire to have something fresh in the next season's raiment. The "Gisela" is a beautiful fall costume, having much that is new to make it attractive. The model cannot be surpassed for outline of beauty and correctness of modelling. The conception of the model shows a| tendency to accept the recently favored ample style, in preference to the very close fitting. Yet you must bear in mind that the hoop -skirt requirements of dress fullness is stWB a mode in the past, but not long to remain so, as the news comes from Paris, the oracle of fashions, that hoop skirts of small and modest dimensions will certainly appear in the beau monde of eiegant dressing before the year 1880. The front of the "Gisela" is a polonaise, o»:t away to give 'the expression of skie paniers richly draped and confined to the seams at the 'back of the garment. The tablier gives the scarf and newer pictures of costume models. The back is very pretty, giving drapery effects that are certain of finding approval! in the world of stylish dressing.
THE •'CWUDINE" BASqyB. This exquisite design has the happy faculty of agreeing with all figures. It is most charmingly adapted to a&mirnn wear where a dressy toilet is called for. An elegant fashion for the autumn is the
Claudine" basque. The
1
"hour-glass"
shirred drapery is used on the tablier. The overskirt is rather short, and falls in handsome festoons, which form,'rich folds, giving the effect of classical raiment of the olden time. The basque is a lovely model, having a close likeness to the mode of the Directoine period. The belt is broad, formed of folds, but only beginning at the side seams. The material should be like the dress, or the garniture, if it is satin or china crape Another lovely fall design is called the "Evora," a sort of polonaise. This model has a square vest, and the sides are eo arranged as to give the idea that a double panier is desired. This fashion of dress i« appropriate to wear at a garden party, or any society afternoon social gatherng.
FRFIW FALL FABRICS.
The earliest introductions of fall materials will be displayed at the leading stores by September 1. Samples of these anticipated goods have already arrived. The chief attraction will doubtless be a yery lovely goods, showing plain faille and striped uncut velvet over a satin ground. This fabric is very attractive, particulary when coming in bright and smiling colors, and will evidently figure largely in beatifying]costumes as well as forming entire suitf. The prices run from $2 75 to $3 60 per yard the yery best quality is marked at $5 Per yafd-
A
fine'
handsome dre^s
goods, with small Scotch checks, has been manufactured for next season's notice and approval, and there is an in
teresting varietv 'of all wool plaids, a style of goods that give* promise of wearing well, which is an important consideration in the manipulation of all costumes, and more especially in the making of a suit intended for ordinary or what is termed serviceable wear. Cashmeres of all grades will figure quite generally. Rich silks of one dye nave been put down as one of the accepted modes in full dress goo:ls. Velvets plain and mixed with other materials, of a surperior, character, are quite certain of receiving the endorsement of society dresses. And then there will be presented to the general public anew class of dress goods, well woven, showing a pleasing finish, even and regular threads, which result is said to insure smooth anil durable wear. This style of goods does not rank as finery, still society toilets will be disposed in "mixtures."
PREVAILING COLORS.
Rich dyes will rule, and clear, solid colors of very dark shadings are bure of partonage, since fashion permits for costumes arranged in sombre fabrics, brightly beautiful 'garnitures, quite in keeping with the glowing tints of autumn foliage. The gorgeous tints presented in claret, sherry and Maderia wines, science has suceeded in representing in all their original loveliness in fine cloths, woolens, silks and velvets, also satins, and one of fashion's singular whims is( the combining of these hues in one toilet. A dress of this description would necessarily give a dazzling splendor, only appropriate for the grandeur of the ball room—olive shades, from the golden, veiled with a delicate green, to the rich bronze, showing a faint tinge of the molten gold beauty. One of the prominent favorites on the list of autumn co lors is shaded carmine, the dark hue of chestnut and deep peach. It is surprising what a lovely picture of color richness is given by this effort of science in the field of new dyes. The pleasing colors and tints seen in the landscape views of fall scenery will be repeated to a great extent in dress goods and millinery.
CHAPEAUX.
"Snugness" has had Mts day in the millinery line. Bonnets and hats are now of visible size, and may possibly increase in this direction. Small chapeaux do not become every style of face and form, while hats of moderate size generally look well on all. Most people have reflected upon the fact that the chapeau and the form of the body— say nothing about the shape of the head—have the power of controlling each other's apperance. This is a fact. Whan the bonnet is unbecoming, the res1 •of the toilet looks ''out of sorts," and when the toilet chapeau suffers in appearance—hence always having dres9 part suited and
is incorrect the effecting a pleasing the importance of appropriate, every all harroioniousl
agreeing. Tfoe new modes are striking^, ly picturesque—there is a profusion handsome features, and bands *f feathers, crowns of some hats are entirely made of small plumes laces of all kinds, rich satins and nobbyjornaments of various designs. Bonnets and hats w?H both figure in the world of fashionable dressing.
RIDING HABITS.
This feature of society toilets Is one considerable consequence, since it is open to censure or praise—there is concealing a riding habit's defects, if he habit does mot fit well, and does not suit the style of the wearer, all see the faults. Fashion is hence very particular in modelling t'his costume, and eoually careful that all the appointments of the costume are perfect. English broadcloth of a dark blue or mulberry color is the accepted style. The habit should fil closely over the hips, showing all the fullness at the back the skirt is cut En
/glish style, which is much shorter than
former modes, the present length just covers the "foot in the stirrup. On jthe the seams are placed little pouches of fine shot, to weiigh down the dress. The most particuslar part of a 'riding habit is the basque. The latest change advocates extremely high shoulders, with the sleeves set in to form a curve 4ip above the sewn. Thi« mode gives th armt perfect liberty to move up or down. The basque is.closed with buttons a very little larger than a five-cent piece. The collar is standing. Long-wristed "gloves of undressed kid the color gray :6 pre ferred for fall wear. A pretty boquel of acqueminot roses are worn in *a button hole half way between the throat and waist.
