After a while they were laid away, bat aot until two of them had been given to a domestic in her household. A few days ago the lady was visited by an old friend irom a distant part of the country, and her attention was called to the pin he wore on his scarf, recognizing it as similar to tbe "pearls" she lud laid away. Her visitor told her that it was a cat's eye peari Irom China, and that it was exceaduigiy rare and quite valuable, and was the pre- vailing rage among New York fashionables. The l«ly took her jems to a jeweler recent- ly and had the satisfaction of learning that they were worth from $30 to 940 spitcc, and now she is to have them set in a laoe pin. They are a trifle larger than pu3, and iri- descent, and have in the oeotie of eoe of the flattened sides an ahnond shaped spot of a different colour, which render them very similar to cat's eyes.

SSs Why tiOo Married bim. â-  The St. Petersbnre correspondent of the EatUr Naehriehlen describes at length the " recrnciliation scene " between the czar's wife, Princess Dolgoroaki, and his daughter- in-law, the wife of the crown prince. It took place in Livadia. At the reception of his son and daughter, in-law, the czar, for the special honour of the latter, for whom he has alMSys shown warm affection, worn the uui form of her own regiment â€" the Gatschina Cuirassiers â€" formerly the regiment of the Empress Maria. Immediately after the first greet. ng, which was very srdent, the czar turned to tbe crown priifccss eagerly and said " Make a visit to my wife as early a» [losaible." The lady repbed that e'.e would not delay it for a moment, and went straight to the apartments of the Princess Dolgorouki. When she appeared in tbe doorway she saw the czar's wife prostrate on her knees before the sacred " icon." The visitor remained standing. The new empress had not noticed her. As soon as the Utter discovered her visitor she remained in her kneeling posi. tion, and turning her fsee, streaming with teurs, up^n the crown princeFS, she threw up her hands and exclaimed " Forgive me I I have done it for my children's sake." The reconciliation between the two !adies is said to bs complete. Ladle?, Luncbee. Kthereal and ipirituelle as the New York girls are often suppeaed to be, they seem to develop most surprising appetites at the fashionable luncheons, and seek for invita- tions to them in a manner worthy of abetter cause. Iast winter, says a correspondent, the number of these ladies' luncheons was innumerable, and they have alreidy begun this year, if possible, on a larger and more expensive scale. They all'ord opportunity for so much rivalry in regard to decorations of the room where served, of extravagance of menu, and in the providing of other at- traction which may charm the ears or de- light the eyes of other guests. \d general, a ladies' luncheon, however, is served some- what as follows The date being fixed upon, and the list of guest* made out, the invitations are sent, and, in almost every case, favorable answers soon rereived. Great must be the obstacle which prevents a girl from accepting an invitation to a ladies' j luncheon. Doctor's advice is disregarded, other engagements thrown to the wind and gleeful acceptance joyfully penned.

Upon August 27, 1813, there was fonght at Dreaden one of tboee tremendeus battles which sufficiently proved Napoleon's on- equaled mastery of the details by which great victories are won. The French Army, 130.000 strong, had to encounter an allied force of 160,(K)0 men bat the alliea left, composed of Austrian troops, was separated by a precipitous deflle frcm the main body. Instantly profiting by the mistake, Napoleon sent Mnrat to. attack the Austrian left, which be turned, and barst with his irre- sistible cavalry, 12,000 strong, upon the rear. Tbe rout waa complete, and tben Napoleon addressed himaelf to the Bussian right, which he drofe ba?k upon its reserve. At this moment Moreau, oonspicuoua in front «{ a Russian division, was struck on the right knee by a cannon shot, which, paaaing through his horse, shattered his left leg also. Both legs were amputated, but morti- fication set in, and five days later he died. His embalmed budy was carried to St. Pet- ersburg, and buried with great pomp in the Catholic Church. Hia widow received a lamp sum of i30,U00, and a Bussian penaion of £1,200 a year nor was there any dissent among his eoatemporsries from the opinion confirmed by the subsequent judgment of posterity â€" that France, however rich in f at Generals, had produced few abler I hting soldiers than Jean Victor Moreau. Marmont indeed proclaims with truth that " Moreau knew nothing of strategy. His skill displayed itself in tactics. Personally brave to a fault, he handled well, in presence of the enemy, troops oecnpy ing gronnd with- in the limits of his vision^, bnt he delivered his principal battles with only a portion of his force." Such was also the verdict of Jomini but the campaij^n of 1796, the pass- age of the Rhine in taca of the enemy in 1797, and the battles of Biberach and of Ho- benlinden are snflieisiit to place Moreau on a very high pedestal. With all his falsifica- tions of history at .St. Helena, Napoleon could not deny that Moreau â€" whom he hated for many ressona, but especially becanae Moreau was'bitterly opposed to the creation of the Legion of Honor, which he turned iato ridicule â€" had no superior among his Generals except Massena, Dessaiz, and Kle- bor, of whom the last two fell early in the wars of that convulsive period. Subsequent writers of all countries have ranked Moreau as inferior in the field to Napoleon alone.

"You call ^t the 'ome of freedom and all that, bat it's a beastly fact that I never lost my independence till I went there." Georfieoua Dresses Kate Field described to a Provid,-nea Jeurrtal reporter, the other day, the cos- tumes msde for her by worth, in which she is this winter dazzling American audiences at her entertainment?. She stated that she had purchased live dresses which cost in the vicinity of $2,600, and had been pronounced models of elegance, and by all tbe terms in the enthusiastic vocabulary of feminine ap- Sreciation. She describnl one of these r e ss e s, which was honoured with a descrip- tion in a recent nnmber of the London Ctmrt Circular. The style is Empress Josephine, the foundation being of new gold aatin, and tbe back of tbe same. The front is of coffee-coloured velvet, trimmed adown the front with pearls, snd on the bottom with lace and pearls. The bodice is cut square and filled in with lace, and the neck is sdorued with a high ru£9e of pearls. The oolonrs of the dress are denominated bird of paradise, and bine satin plaiting is inserted between the coffee-coloured velvet and nsw gold. The style is one of the latest of Worth's inventions, and the costums is valaed at $590. Pearl ornaments are worn with it. Miss Field then gave a racy de- scription of a conversation she had with Worth ia regard ti the superiority of Am- erican satins over the French material, which grew ont of her exhibition of a piece of Amerioaa black and cardinal satin pnr- nhsaeii in New Jersey. She sought to per- suade him to order samples, and, after ez- tbe material, the famous artist ing style of the past year or two. The proper mouth for tbe present season, â- ays The Nev) iork Graphic, is worn in a constant bnt mild smile, the corners being drawn back horizontally, with the lips left closed. The expressioo is one of amiable, quiet satisfaction with all the world â€" as though the mind was free from sorrow and the teet free from corns. Care should be taken not to broaden this into an active grin, except on mirthful occabioos nor should the lipi be compressed. All should be in repose. The lips may be reddened, if the natural color be ti o light. A practice of painting the exposed membrane of the up- per lip broad aud blight just at the centre has crept in, but it is bad, for it gives an artitioial and sensoou? look. Tbe fashion- able belle has cut the puckering string of her mouth and no longer murmurs " prunes prunes, prunes." She can k.ss ten men simultaneously and give good satisfactio'.i, where bofore only one could find room at a time. The reader who supposes that the above is fanciful and not plain, straightfor- ward fashion news is very much mistaken. Women can change the style of their faces, if not at will, at least consiJerabiy. Tbe hair over the forehead can be so nranged to produce a deiired outline for the upper part of the face the mouth can be made to widely vary its expression, the eyes can be kept pirtly wide open or languidly half- closed tbe cheeks can be rounded by us- ing " plumpers," the eyebrows can be arched or straightened the colar can be controlled to a high d^ree. Thus it is ap- parent that women can, if clever, have to some extent the face she wants. The nose is about the only intractatle feature. It sticks right out in unalterable independence, defraying all efforts to shorten or straighten it. Let me interpolate the fact that not one women in ten ever laughs or smiles naturally. Knowing full well eor defects of teeth or expression, we try to bide or re- form them. 1 know a girl who will never go to the minstrels or any other funny show because she isn't pretty when she laughs. If inadvertantly caught by something com- ic, she bories the lansh in a handkerchief but whenever possible she docs all her langhing internally. This wrenches her terribly, and sooner or later some of her vitals will get broken all to pieces batahe prefers death to a display of her aersggy teeth. A Romatxse of tbe Ball.

Indeed, Moreau and Jomini, serving thus together, would have been as formidable a pair as Blucher and Gneisenao. The Fortiflcstions of Paris- It was said in Lonis Philippe's times that the fortifications of Paris were rather made to quell disturbance within than to offer resistance ts enemies without. We all know that sines 1870 great enhirgements and modifications have been made in these forti- fications. Why Paris should raquire forti- fications at all baa often ieen questioned. Bnt Parts differs from all other capitals of the world, for Paris is France. Cmtralizv tion has existed through so many centuries that once Paris falls the mot ifordc for all France is wanting. M. Tenot, who has jost written a most interesting study on tbe fortifications of Paris, commenting on this necessity of making Paris impregnable, ssys "The importance of Paris results from historic forces which are irreaitab-e. Con- temporaneous France did not create it, bnt is oblged to make the best of it." In 1840 the exped eucy of M.Thier's fortifications were questioned, but ss the Saturday Beview has it, "the utility of fortifying the plaoe recef ved a practical answer in 1870. ' If not for at least the temporary cheek the Germans received before Paris, and the ne- cessity they felt of reducing it, they would " have swept all over the land in irreaist- able power. The wisdom of M. Thiers be- comes quite evident, then, and that latter criticism which declines to give this states- man tbd merit of being sound on military topics is fairly refuted. Formerly, the foits were sitnated some two thousand to three thousand yards aiway from the baationed cnecinlr. To-day, artillery has so much greater preciaion with increased range tbat the outer circle has been moved back a dis- tance of Irom 8,000 to 18,000 yards. " The important advantage gained is that it would require an army th|^e times more numerous than the Germans broagbt ap against Paris in 1870 to shut the city in now, as they did before." With a necessity on the part of tbe besiegers to cover more ground comes the advantage to the besieged of concentrat- ing attacks by sorties on particular points. In the larger forts there are 60 new rifled steel pieoaa, with a range of 8,000 ysrda The whole of the exterior forts and batteries can be held by 20^000,raen. A German critic, who has beea loekuig at the defeaeea, gives the following opinion " Un the whole, then, we consider that five or tjx forts must be taken and three or fonr sil- enced before an efficacious bombardment of Paris could commence." The whole effort seems to have been on tb* part of the new French engtaeera in i.4sry to remove the enemy so far as to preclude the chance of placmg batteries near enough to affect Paris. In increasing the circle, whioh is not large enough from a main centre to prevent it be- ing armed and foaght, it neoessarily sng- meats in much larger proportion the line of attack on the part of the enemy. They mo-'it invest a owcle of 100 miles, whereas in 1870 50 was the limit. The army necessary to defend Paris would be 80,000 regulars and 120,000 "territoriala," but from tbe forcea in the field no extra soldier woold be drawn. It is supposed that if an enemy eoold bring together 20 army corps of 30.000 men each, he might sooceed in establiBhinw a blockade, but then before he conld reasb that stage Epinal, Belfort, LAngres, Besan- con, and many other strong plsees icoeatly fortified would have to be carried.

In this position, the horse will submit to be gently rolled over on to his side, almost as tbougb in a tranoe. Let each act be gentle and be is oonteat. Onee the horse is down, he becomes your slave and this first victory may be best confirmed and subsequent lessons rendered less troublesome, by' feeding him with some choice morsel while he u down or if he will not eat in that position, directly he arises. Do not let your victory have in it any sting of defeat for him. Tbe nearer tbat the trainer approaches the spirit thus indicated, the more successful he will be and if he wanders too far from it, he will achieve jio success stall. Some years sgo, General Airey in tbe course of a conversation witb me, most fully endorsed the atrave views as to the great power of mingled firmness snd kindness aioru, without a knowledge of horses' tem- peraments, without great tact and insight into their individual characters, will be of little if any service with extremely stub* born and fractiooa animals. A proof of this was given by Rarey before General Airey's own eyes. These two gentlemen happened to meet at Mason's livery-stables, and a discussion was raised respecting the powers of the American tamer. The General did not believe tbat Rarey was gifted with any such power he was of opinion that if a lunged about in tbe wildest plnngea aoout lu ww w»i««»~ « nattl be had broken the hameas and escaped. Various oooieotures might be made as to the manner in whioh the horse's fears were aroosed bat I think it probable tbat aU those creatures which are liable to became the prey of carnivorous beasts, have been endowed by natars with an inscinct whioh enables them to distinguish their foes from other animals.

It has for its suzerains tha " godless" republic of France and the Catholic Bishop of Urgel, who divide the nomination of the judicial authorities, and reoeive as tribute annually tbe sums re- spectively, of $192 and $178.20. The parihes, or rather four heads of families in esch parish, elect the uounoil, from which the syndic is chosen. By tbe way, dunng four months of tbe year the Bishop of Urge! is Pope of Andorra, and nominates to ec- clesisatical offices without asking the sane* tion of Leo XIII.

(New York WstM-] â- Very interesting reading indeed an appre- ciative stod»t oan find between the two searlat covers of Herr Jostas Perthes' "Almaoach de Gotha " for iSSl, tbe bun- dred and eighteen year of its publication. For all that may be aaid " among our fierce democracy" as to kings and nobles, and without for a moment pretending to contend that our Americans are like this immortal "Tommy" and "dearly love a lord," the fact remains that personal gouip and Stalistics concerning those who in the nature of things are removed from the sphere of daily and commonplace life are always ac- cepublc â€" often fascinstiog. And a ver^ pleasant companion Heir Justus Perthes is for a jaunt among the imperial, royal, princely, and noble farailiesof Europe, thou^ we hsve sometimes to complain that, in his easily -tO'be-accouted-for discretion, he omits to mention enjoyable facts which do not exactly "consist" with the dignity of his distioguidhed subjects. For instance, we are not told that the empress of Austria's brother Prince Charles Theodore of Bavaria, is a diplomaed doctor, and a very good one, too nor, that the Lindgravme Marie Alex- andria Augustine Louis Eugenie Martilda, duchess of VVurtemterg, roysl highness, and widow of the Landgrave CHarlea of Hesse- Pbilippstbsl, went through tbe bankrupt- ey court, last year, like tbe most plebeian of land-ladies or milliners.

Clotilde Lois- cet, and was compelled to sacrifice his princely rank, become plain Baron von Ueichenfels, and emigrate to Bulgaria to be- come aid to his old comrade. Prince Alex- ander I. Under the title " Wurtemberg," too, we miss the name of the Princess Pan- Uae, a self-willed woman of 26, who on May day last year renounced ber title and poai- tisn, became plain Fraulein von Kirback, and married Dr. Williro, of Breslau, a young physician who passed his examination on the eve of hin marriage, and apparently obtain- ed a good wife, since, when the court preacher at the altar dwelt with disparaging tlattery on her sacrifice, the ex-princess in- terrupted him with tbe remark that she was only too irlad to give up all to obtain the man she loved. The priscess is distantly related te the Princets Victoria, the future empress of Germany. More by token, this latter princess' aunt (sister-in-law to the Princess Helena of England, married an- other physician, Dr. Esmarob, of Kisl, while this Isst lady's uncle married as his second wife, in 18C4. Miss Lee, of New York. The roll of the house of HatJeldt, too, is now illumined by the name of the young prince who married another circus-rider, Mile. Emilie Loisset still another eguestrienne's name is lacking from the "Gotba"â€" the ex- princess of Salm-Salm. Whether circus- riders or gardeners' daughters rank lowest in the opinion of tbe editor cannobe said, but he certainly acorns to mention the union of the head of the bonse of £rb*eh-£rbsch with Fraulein Luck though he records the morganatic marriages of bis two sons. This family traces its descent from Charlemagne's daughter Emma, orlmma, and his secretary and biographer, Eginhard, whom, as read- ers of Loogfellow remember, the princess carried from ber biwer pick-a-back, le^ the print of his foosteps on the snow should r.etray their loves. Ihe value of this story is impaired by the fact tbat Charlemagne had no dau Jitier Emma, lo far. as is known that his daughters gtasrally were " a bad lo'" tbat E.iinhar.1 says none of them ever marrie I, and that the episode of ths snow- storm hsd been told of Henry the Black more than two centuries bofore it was told of Eginhard.

There was in Mason's stables an utteily intractable sCeed. well known to General Airey, which had never yet been harnessed or if harnessed, had resisted all efforts to drive him. He was an irreooncilable. The General said that if Karey had any special powes, he woold. be able t bring it to bear upon this horse. Rarey st once undertook tbst he would un- aided harness the horse, hitch him to a brake, and drive him up and down Picca- dily. The challenge was accepted the General frankly reiterating his full coiivie- tion that neither Rarey nor any one else could do it. But in an incredibly short time Rarey emerged from the stable with the horse harnessed as he had promised, and drove him ss qnietly as a lamb up and down Piccadilly, THB REMALIBLE MEMORY OF HORSfcl. It scarcely needs stating that a good memo- ry is indispensable in learning anything. And it a horse has to learn a trick or rou- tine performance, be can only do so by re- membering it from time to time of going through it. Both horss and dogs have wonderful memories but I will narrate one or two instances relating Co the horse. I was once driving to Long-Milford in Suffolk at a spot where there was a bridge leading over a river. As we appeoache I the bridge, the horse pulled up, and would not move on again without whipping. For some time I was at a loss to account for tais freak but it afterwards occurred to me that the last time I had crossed that bridge aud with the same horse, I had pulled ap at that very spot to speak to a man I bad met. Unless there is a reason to the contrary we always prefer occupying the same field each time we visft a town. S^metimea it happens that the stud-groom, who is gener- ally with the first wagon, forgets which field it is. But by g'ving the horse his head and leaving him to himself, he will meat certslb- ly pull up at the right gate. The grooih never finds him to be wrong, and drives straight in. When in Southampton some years since, I bad to pass np High street daily, and had a different horse almeat every diy. Which- ever horse 1 had, he would slacken speed at the .Star Hotel and want to torn into the yard. Upon mentioning this to the stud- groom, he explained that five years previ- ously, when the circus was in Southampton, the stud had been subled at the Star, ^d_ the horses hsd not forgotten the plaoe'agaiD.
