VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. ABOUT THE FASHIONS. JENNIE JUNE FOB JUNE. A Brief but Brilliant Operatic Season -How People Dress for Opera, and Why it Does Not Prosper-Summer Suits for rite Ladles, and Something Sew lor the Gentlemen. The ladles' oracle, Jennie June, io her budget of New York fashion gossip lor the month, tells us : The brief season of Italian "opera which we have enjoyed this spring has been the most brilliant in point of audience, and the poorest (in some respect) in point of performance, that has ever appeared within the walls of lue Academy. The houses have been crowded, .'standicg room only'- beinc posted up every night; but the-stage ensemble, the wretched chorus and worn-out scenes gave evidence that people were simply hungry for ope ;a. and were williDg to overlook much in order to get lt. An admirably trained orchestra, a 'air tenor, and Miss Kellogg for prima donna, made up for many o? the shortcomings, how? ever, or, at least, furnished an excuse for "beamy and lashlon" to CH the boxes and ob? tain the attendance ol devoted Cavaliers; and the number of dress-coats decorated with rosebud?, of delicately-tinted gloves, and white-edged vests, flitting to different parts of the he Sfee between the acts, was more in ac? cordance with the-opera customs before ?he war, than anything we have seen of iate years. WHY OPERA DAS NOT FLOURISHED RECENTLY. It is quite a problem to manv perse is why. I opera has not grown and flourished during yie past ten years, with the growth of luxury and increase of wealth, in the City of New York. 1 The reason is a very simple one. She old aristocracy-comprising persons not engaged in business or politics-have many bf them grown poorer, instead of richer; the new aris? tocracy are very foud of display, but destitute of culture, and opera is essentially the off? spring of high refinement and civilization. In reality, therefore, we have had-fewer patrons of opera, although many more great dry goods houses and restaurants. By and by European travel and the habits-of "society" will begin to tell, and then we may look lor an operatic re? vival OH an Immense scale. DRESSING FOR THE OPERA. For the benefit of those ladies who only oc? casionally visit, the opera, it maj be remarked that full dress is by no means requisite. Toil? ettes are graduated, and very properly, so far . as convenience is concerned, by H.e part of j the house in which the seats are located. Ladies occupying boxes are expected te ap? pear in full dress, that is; without bonnets, but an uncovered neck ls rarely seen. In the more democratic dress circle, and parquet, ladies' wear bonnets and handsome snits, oc? casionally an opera cloak or jacket, but rarely a trained dress. Indeed, upon the bare floor, and in the mixed assemblage which gathers In the lower part of the house, elaborately dress? ed heads, and drawing-room toilettes would seem very much out of place. With gentlemen it it is different. From them dress coats, white-edged vests and light kid gloves are exacted in any part of the bouse, and latterly they have taken to wearing but ton-Aple' bouquets, which impart a very fete HkeTar to their otherwise uniform and too monotonous styles of dress. SOCIETY COATS.. . . There is a strong disposition on the part of many gentlemen to kick at the' dress cqat bu? siness, and- Insist upon their right to wear whatever kind of coat happens to be conveni? ent lorJ.hem to wear. They Insist, wirti truth, that the exactions with respect to* dress ex? clude ai] th? brains from society, and that so? ciety will never amount-to anything so long as all the energy must be expended on a necktie in order to get there. At present the brain? less people hav-e quite the best-of lt; in fact they ase the only ones who can properly sus? tain position tn a circle from whioji ideas are" excluded, and clothes made to take their place. SUMMER SILKS. Quite new and exceedingly pretty summer silks have followed the little hair-stripes which appeared early in the season, and have cre? ated an almost equal furore. They are soft: light, yet durable, and possessed or considera? ble body, without weight or stiffness. They are known as armure foulards, armure de Lyon, and armure Benzein, the latter the name of tho maker. Trey are imported in all the lovely neutral, ocree and tea-rose tints* which are so fashionable, and are almost un'-: jrmly-1 employed in two shades of the same color, or in connection with a solid silk ol a different shade of the same color. In addition to* the armures, which are $2 per yard, there are -new .twilled foulards and undressed silks for costumes at?l 50 per yard, which are very effective and useful because they do not crush easily,-and .being all silk, will clean, and afterward, dj?-fer lining?, or the foundation for costumes of black grena? dine. 'They also make excellent travelling suits for ladiee'wbo ' stop much at hotels and require something handsomer than linen. The Aro most fashionable tints in armure de Lyon are tea-rose and Fron-Fron, the latter a Sale salin on, with a primrose flush in it. The rst IS worn en costume over nut brown, the second over black, striped silk or grenadine. The darkerxolor alway? enters .somewhat into the trimming of the costume, binds the rumas or edges the folds; but dejcription'oi' such complicated designs as a*e now-worn would be useless^ they must be seen. Iftmay be re? marked? however, that the "costume" so-call? ed nearly always consists of a polonaise cut, with a postillion basque and fall skirt at- the. | back instead ol an upper skirt and Jacket, as' last season, and is cooped at the sides only. Sashes are worn for convenience by ^hose who have them, bat the new toilettes for the street dispense with them. Chambery gajze, ) and light.tlssiie of rjiat description are reviv- . lng the unix ning "bayadere" stripes which { had a brief ?access twelve years ago, andi , burdened many women with rich silk dresses ? which looked like Balmoral petticoats and , were-unbearable when the little rage for theuf z had died out. It iss'saitflhey are- to reappear j again the, coming fail.'. We hope not. WASHING'SU1T8. Washing suits ol white and buff .linen and lawn have become quite as indispensable to women as to men, and are made in much 1 greater variety for the former than lor the lat- j ter, from whom undoubtedly they originally J borrowed the idea. The cost, ready made, ranges from five to 1 fifty dollars, the latter price including batiste 1 trimmed with guipure'of the same shade and Une piques trimmed with bands and ruffles of embroidery. Quite a novelty is exhibited in English suits of linen embroidered with white cotton or with black and crimson or scarlet-wool. They are rather pretty at first sight, but would look dreadfully vulgar when they become common. The English seem to trim their cheap fabrics. ] altogcLher' too much. Coarse, yellow, linen | < comes insults tricked out with Jmitation-a cotton Imitation of duchesse laccfj TrIPWmpler simple fabrics are made np the better. The whole design, which is to provide a nef-^jnavenlont and unobtrusive costume, is dijtffffftjTj . this miserable system ol Imi UUJBSE Irater i a. v. Our home-made washing cdsfiRWre certainly in bettertaste. Imita? tion laCF is not used upon them, and the real "guipures only upon the fine batiste and Cuban cloth, which, has such a silky appearance that lt demands and repays more cost in its deco? rations and fiuish. Tjpon plain linens, folds and single piaitings have displaced the fussy puffs and niffies which formerly disfigured them and made them the terror of the household upon washing day. Blick velvet i3 flRll used upo:: costumes of white pique*?, but lt "i3 run through very nar? row straps, which are stitched idown at regu? lar intervals-above the hem, is easily taken out, and is easily .put back after the garment has been washed. It ia one of the easiest and most effective methods of trimming white cos? tumes of pique and washing sarine, which, it ls understood, are rarely wore ensuite, but fenerally with a black or colured silk skirt, reach ladies wear them with plain walking skirts of black velvet, at the seaside and for excursions, and nothing can be more effec? tive. Very popular suits of white pique and washing satine are trimmed "with a band and scant ruffle of handsome German embroidery, a deep, flat, single plaiting finishing the lower skirt. WA SHINQ LINENS AND LACES. The old adage, '-When the Lord sent meat he should have sent cooks," is varied now to meet a new dilemma.- It reads at present, When the Lord sent us washing dresses he show have sent somebody to wash them. The laundress ol' the period uses iirae to save her elbow, and knows how to make out a bill as well as a continental inti-keeper. ? Linea suits are like linen collars, ll costs more to wash them ?ban it does to. buy new, and the chances ara that when they have been washed they will have tb be thrown away. Oh ! for a little old-fashioned elbow soap and pure water, like that which made our grandmother's print dresses the pride of her heart as long as there was a piece leftTin them. The domestic article "which wje have imported Into our kitchens bestns to rebel against the wash tub, and. be? tween cooh$ and laundresses, lile promises to become a greater burden than, it is already. Where are the heathen Chinee ? A new method has lately been discovered of washing lace by machinery," with . at friction and without bot water. The results are very satisfactory. Collars, coiffures, barbes, caps, handkerchiefs and the like'are restored toa condition quite equal in appearance to new bj a process that doe? not seem at all injurious to the fabric, bt It ever so fine ansi delicate. * ORNAMENTS. Quite a reaction is taking place it? regard io.ornaments, especially jewelry.- The bar? baric styl'?s of the' present day-the great hoofs, the dangtlng-balis, the massive clamp? ed and huge nail-studded bands andjbracelels. added to Lbe overwhelming mass of brazen trash which the dollar 6tores have poured forth, have created'disgust ja the souls of women oi*bigh refinement ar d cultivation. Aua ver>- brilliant reunion lately this sub? ject was discussed, and some of the most ele? gant women present declared their^couvlc-. lion that ear-rlnss. rings, bracelets and the like were relics bf sav?igism, evidences of a past condition of bandage, and instead of .beautifying marred the symmetry, grace and Serfectlon of the human form. Ode lady said a urdeu had really been lilted irOm her shoulders since she Lad .made up her mind to dispense with, jewelled ornaments; that ihe change of fashion and the -necessity of arranging and adapting them- to. new styles and different dresses took exactly the money she wished lo make use of in other directions, and she felt herself not only better, and more taste? fully dressed, but relle.ved from a positive, tax and iacunibrance. ' Another lady, said that she had laue ago disposed'- ol all her gold and mixed jewelry,' and in? vested the proceeds in a dlnraond cross and ear-rings, which she wore-?a- lull-dress occa? sions. OVdinarily she-?w,ore no Jewelry; lu fact, she -.honsrht the present style-of dress hardly adraitt?a of it, which is iriie. -A third objected lo ear-rings upon any occasion or of any kind, and thotrght rlnfes-jn tb? nose were just as necessary and would look just as well. High-class "American women have never takap kindly to the profusion and variety of orna? ments which characterize ladies of rank in other "countries-France, foe. example. They always want diamonds, and when dressed ?or a ceremonious occasion will wear uo cheaper ornament.-. Profusion of rings, chains, brace? lets and the like has lon? been considered evi? dence sufllcient of want of good breeding and thorough culture. SUUMER BONNETS, The prelty gypsies of English and Italian straw are almost universally worn, and al? most as universally becoming. ?fTheuHiry fault is tbat they are roo much trimmed. Lace, ribbon, flowers, feathers, ure alt piled- eu- one small -foundation, and the result is that the shape is host in a-confused mass of decoration and drape-y. Bonnets worn by elegant m al rons are made of chip, ornamented with black lace and tea roses, or with FrOu-Froo gros grain ribbon, white lace, and a sott white ostrich plume, in the heart of which nestlvs a satin passion flower, the color-of the-ribbon, shaded with brown. But the prettiest hats tor j-oun?; girls retaiu something ol the toque shape, In English straw, and are simply trimmed with a binding of blue velvet, a scarf-of blue gauze de chine, fastened with a pearl horseshoe and a spray ol English hedge rose?. . There are three distinct styles of the new wide brim ned Leghorn hat?, one of which has a hiirli crown, another a lbw orown. while the third reproduces the large, old-fashioned En? glish gypsy bonnei. Qui'-.- a number have al? ready been seen upon Broadway, but they are belier adapted lo the morning attire, of a lady in the country than the sober and somewhat sonventual character ol a city street toilette. PRETTY P.4 lUStii-s. - New summer parasols display great variety md some novelty. Very pretty silk ones are lined with wliite or colors, and have small scent bottles with a perforated gilt top -fitted in the handle. In addition to lilis, 'is a ring with a chain attached for holding thehandker :hief. Light pink, blue and other fancycalor ed s?lk parasols are covered* wHh ruffled waite muslin, which hassan odd sort oToversklrty ap? pearance E-.nd deprives Hiern ol. the possibility of doing anything but sun duty. TRAVELLING SETS. New travelling sets ar.e-mSde of white linen lawn, wibi pointed collar, bow, cuffs and handkerchief of buff grass linen, embroidered in black and crimson or scariet wfcol. These would be suited for the Adirondacks or Rocky Mountains, but nowhere eise. P?TA CHED WAISTS. White waists, which so'many ladies inquire for, and-vrere so uselul "lor neglige, are not now fashionably worn with colored skirts or iny other, -^npiead of them. w% find "skirts" [loose .tucked waists) of hair-striped linen or mmbrlc,"Vltn broad ouffs and turn-down coi ars. They were worn-last summer, and called 'stylish.1' They are certainly very comfort ibie and convenient on a warm summer after? noon. . Rtady-inade, they cost ?2 50 to $4, ac? cording tc quality of material and-workman? ship. ... '._.; . TBE EROS&toCra OE TBE SO?JTH?ftjT . COTTON Pi J NIEES* [Fronr*the Savannah Republican.J Whatever may be tile present troubles of ilanters itt the-cotton States, from all lfiforma iou we?hirve been able to ?allier their pros >ecis are brignter and more encouraging than hey have been at a-.y tlme since the close, ol .he war. They may be; and are, cramped new, mt we shall be greatly mistaken lt tbey.donot realize more money and comfort Irom the growing crqp than tbey have- any year In the R3t five. And it will- arise mainly Irom tho -imple fact i hal the crop is ndt mortgaged io wlvance. Several points may be specified as. contributing io this result. In the first place, discouraged by the low price of cotton and the^ high price of provis? oes last y jar, they are gtvlng'less attention to he formerand greater attention to the latter. The provision crop, throughout the South, will ie abundant, and Hence, after deducting the price of production, whioh will be compara likely small, nearly the entire proceeds ot th? lotion crop will be money in hand. fl . . In the S?corid place, there*wiir be less pfo rtslons to buy the present year. Planters will. se compelled, from the'force ol circumstances, ii gel alone with the least amount possible; ivhlle that which they are compelled to have viU cost hem from twenty to fifty per cent, ess than it did last year. Our corn,and bacon > . ^notations will sustain this statement. In the third place, the planters are more ?conomictd .tbau heretofore, and the great jody of tht.'m could not go inoebt ii they would. The last season was a disastrous one to the fac orsas well as to themselves, and, as rt'gener il rule, Hwy are cautious and limited in their Avancements. ' Another important reason is,, the punters lifts year, "in regulating their, plantation ex? penses, have based their calculations on the mnimum, and not on the maa: mitra price of be staple. Should cotton bring only twelve ;ofourteen cents, they will, lor. this reason, nake money; whereas U|e same price for last rear's ?ron: made cn a different calculation, ?arne pret ty neat starving them,out.'-'-To this consideration.add the prospect oC? very short crop, fully a million bales less than'that of last ?.ear, as estimated by the most competent udges, and we have a large addition to the ictual pecuniary receints of the- planter from lis year's labor. We think these calculations reasonable and 'air. and weare gl:d to be able tosaycon jcienilouily something for the encouragement it -our unfortunate tillers of the soil; Under io circumstances, though, should they allow. ;he protttises of tbe future' to tempt them Tom their present path of industry and rigid ?coaomy in all things. This, with a plenty oi jread every year ol their own producing, will soon put them on their feet again and render ?hem independent. LO! TBE EV OR INDIAN. WASHINGTON, June 5.

The building ls now a mere shel), being com? posed of nothing bat the wa'd?snd the roof. The latter ha9 been splendidly put up In a neat'and workmanlike manner, which elicited the approba? tion of the supervising arcMtec; on his late visit. The floors and partitions in the interior have all been torn down, and most of the rabbit cleared away.

The French Government, in the exercise of the right confirmed to it bj, the Pope in the Concordat, has named to tho vacant Archbls opric or Paris the most eminent living mem? ber of the Episcopacy of France. Fellx-Antolne-Pbiiippe Dupanloup was born iu 1802, at St. Felix, in Savoy. In 1825, after liding through his clerical and theological studies at St. 8ulpice, he was ordained a priest, and two years afterwards, iu 182?, he was appointed confessor to the Prince, then ' JcGOw-n as the.- boy Duke, ol Bordeaux, vao now as Count of Cnambord, aLthe age of 51, seems suddenly te have become toe most prominent candidate lor-the throne of .France, to which his way has been opened by the artillery of McMahon. It was bis curious late in f82(8 to receive the last spiritual revelations and outpourings of.that unfrocked bishop, Prince Talleyrusd: wno sent lor bim when on bis deathbed. During* the last year, of .he monarchy" of July, M. Dupanloup -had no'; a.. little trouble, both with his rapeftOE, Archbish? op Caffre, of Paris, the victim of the barri? cades of June, and with "the .government. In 1849, after the revolution of Feoruary had FUC eeeded in planting the second empire; he 'vas made Bishop ol Orl?ans, and wit ti this ap? pointment began his-wonderful career of ?lo? quence, of. polemics, of literature- and of political activity. NO prelateln Trance has done more than he for long years -to con? tribute to-the support of the Papacy. No prelate at Rome, in 1870, mere re8,olut?ty and vigorously oppose?! vJhat he*thought the travagant claims pf the Papacy. A born mountaineer, he has the wind and agility in controversy of a hunter tracking the chamois among the Alps. His earnestness and dating always put hjm In the front alike of duty and danger. He withstood trie Bavarian GenoraT Von der Tann'at the capture of Orleans ?ind ?brdught that bearded chief4o grant his p?cpje more humane terms. - His controversial ana" literary works are to be remembered by the score. His pen Is busy constantly In the press -now denouncing the outrages perpetrated by trie English in Ireland, and now pleading for cotton-spinners thrown out. of employ? ai ways forcible/always flamiig, always guided by a fervent, even though sometimes per? chance by a mistaken, conviction that it le- at work for the best Interests of the church ind of mankind. . . 5pe?ml ffotftcs. A P1T??UL omTC?N.-IT IS a sad thing to pass through life only- half alive, Yet there are thousands whose habitual ccndi? tton is one or languor and debility.

The*system needs rousing and strengthening; not merely for an hour or rwo, to sink afterward in.o more pitiable condition than ever, (as it assured? ly would do If an ordinary alcoholic* stimulant were res'onied to,) but radically and permanently.
