Tho colors re? ce Aly brought ?ut-* 'Sultana red" and -'Metternich green"-have not attained their anticipated popularity. The latter is most worn, but is only becoming to the brightest complex? ions: still, green is tho prevailing color in millinery goods; a darker shade than Metternich predominating. The latest fashion bulletin from New York says: It takes a long time for a revolution in- fashions, such as we have experi? enced within the past few years, to become fully inaugurated; and indeed before staid and sober people have time to make up their minds concern? ing a particular design or style of dress, presto there is a change, and the fashion is something else. It is about two years since the short dress first made its appearance, and it was not till the past winter that it became general, or sufficiently popular for ladies to feel satisfied as to its permanence. Old dresses were made over, or a scant pattern some? times made up for convenience; but it was a long time before ladies could make np their minds to purchase a handsome material and deliberately j have it made np into a short "suit." These suits are now universal, and have effected a fatal change in the general aspect of the promenade. Some are made with only a skirt and pelisse, others have two skirts and a sac, or paletot, cut into the form like a basque at the back, and crossed as a small shawl in front. Street snits are uniform in one or at most two colors, and if this idea is carried ont in every detail of the costume, the more elegant it will be considered. In fact, this harmony, completeness, uniformity, or what? ever we call it, is just now the truest test of the ladies. Many attempt it, but very few achieve it. The "paniers" are the latest novel? ty, and already hooped-skirts have been filled with enormous bustles tc wear under then. La paniers con sists simply of n gathering of tin hind folds of the skirt in such n win as to allow them to fall over in i bouillon upon the lower part of th? skirt. The arrangement is as siinph os it is absurd, but it requires to bi done correctly, or it is supremely ridiculous, and not a fow young la dies have attracted the attention of i crowd by their effort to effoot ainu tour paniers and the grotesqueness o their appearance when they venture? courageously into the streets. Paniers for a short dress aro effect od by lengthening the upper skii somewhat at the back, and running drawing string from one side to th other through the centre of the bac breadth. The front breadth is ir sorted plain and of the proper leugtl the junction at the Bides being cor cealed by rosottes, bows and end! sashes or some other ornaments. I would not advise any one to n tempt a panier on their owu accouu without first having seen a corre< model. In f nil dress, however, man ladies improvise them very respec ably by tying up the train with wide sash, and arranging the' folc over the tournure, for I am ashame to sav the old fashioned bustle is r vived sometimes in stiff hair clotl sometimes in springs, which ai shaped to form the bustle at the bac of the hooped-skirts. The latest style of hooped-skir are horrible. In addition to tl enormous bustle or wide shelf whi< sometimes extends to the sides, i well as across tho back, there is broad train, which destroys tl beauty aud elegance of the tradii dress. Fullness at the back, stretc ing ott' into a long, narrow quene, the effect required; but hooped-ski manufacturers, in endeavoring make tho trail, have broaden* the skirt so that the length of tl dress is taken up unnecessarily ai the peculiar grace of the style who! lost. Bonnets aro becomiug smaller ai smaller, aud there is good reason believe that in a short time they w vanish altogether, to bo supersed I by simple coiffures of lace ai flowers. Spangled and crystaliz lace, as well as plain white lace, u much used upon bonnets; the flee folds of the lace adding greatly the beauty of a blooming youth: face. Tho majority of the bouui are made of thin material-crape illusion. StaW COrds. hnnrls, n straw flowers are much used. O of the prettiest bonnets is of Invent crape fulled over a fanchon fran with folds of lavender silk arou the edge, and a narrow ruffle of s -tho edge notched-across tho ba< Tho ties aro narrow, with cw strings falling over them. Cryst ized lace is festooned across the side, with pink and white ilowc A bine crape is made of folds. 1 strings are of crape, edged with wli laoe, und are joined on the top, m the front, and fall over the sides. I The ribbons used on bonnets i ! all narrow; No. 16 is the fashiona width. White straw color, bl piuk and lavender are all in demai but the leading and prettiest color the apple-green. There has ne been a greater variety of flowers, c more attractive display, need in deco? rating bonnets. Indeed, the fashion? able bonnet will be made np of lace or tulle, and clusters and wreaths of flowers that drop' to the shoulder. Among the recent importations are beautiful vines with trailing tendrils and leaves, and mossy vendure that closely resembles that of the forest. The new style of hat has a high sugar-loaf crown, with a brim wider than that of last year.. The latest is of brown straw, the crown sloping up small, and flat on top; the brim on one side is wider than on the other, and turning up, is spanned by a velvet band.- Hats with low crown and narrow drooping brim are also worn. A showy round hat is of pink silk, with pink spangled lace Bich silks are worn for evening dress to some extent* but the figured silks are more in vogue than the elaborately embroidered, and the recent importations are chaste and effective in design. The French gray is most fashionable for dinner dresses or evening wear, and when trimmed with rich lace, and a lace sash to match, worn over the full train, it is superb. The new green oolor in silk is muoh admired, but has not yet become a general favorite. For tra? veling dresses, serge is popular. Fercales and piques will be as much used for morning wear as ever, and make the neatest of home dresses. A fine linen, in narrow stripes, is something quite new, and makes a tasteful morning dress, more desira? ble than cambric. For suits, the fine chene silks are in vogue, and are a somewhat newer style than the small cheeks of narrow stripes, in brown and white, or black and white, and which are also muoh worn. For full dress the train is worn very long, the back breadths being straight and full, aud the sides and front ones goring, with a few plaits. Tho panier skirt is now, and not yet generally adopted; though having many ad mirrors, there is some doubt of its becoming a favorite style. 'It is becoming to n tall, slender form, but when adorning a stout one the panier loses its charm. Short dresses, in suits, are fashion? able for the street, and the most elegant aro of black silk. A novelty in suits is of changeable French serge, the two back breadths fulled, panier Btyle. The bottom of the lower skirt has a narrow flounce, the upper one is in points trimmed with fringe, with three satin folds above it of the darkest shade of the mate? rial. Thc sack has mantilla fronts that cross, forming two points, and trimmed with fringe and folds; belt with bow and sash of tho same mate? rial as the skirt. The hair is still worn high upon the head, and with two long curls at the side. The latest style, however, is in curls or waves en naturel. Young ladies wear it in this way, and it is not only very becoming, but enables them to display their own hair to great advantage. Tho new coats and jackets for la? dies have no very distinct peculiarity; they are cut os high upon the shoul? ders as a man's coat, and for dressy occasions are always cut to the figure. The loose sacs and long pelisse tied in at the waist arc reserved for demi toilette. The sash is almost universal and no great variety; some have long and some short ends, some are finished with rosettes, others with wide bows, others, again, with large loops form? ing immense rosettes. The differ? ence in style, in fact, is only limited by tho imagination of 7noclistes. The favorite spring style of pale-1 tot is cut as a basquine at tho back and ia shawl points which cross over in front. Parasols, this spring are very showy, the blue, green and lavender, being embroidered in brilliant colors, after beautiful designs, and those in black silk are wrought in white or bright tints. Colored parasols are often edged with white lace, which gives them a tasteful appearance. OFF FOR EUROPE.-Tho Savannah Advertiser says: "Among the passen? gers on the 'General Barnes,' for New York, was our fellow-citizen, Mr. John C. Duggan, who is on his way to Europe, where ho expects to spend three or four months in various parts of Great Britain aud France. Mr. D. goes duly empowered as an agent of-the South Carolina Immigration Society, with letters from Gen. John A. Wagener, Slate Commissioner, and many prominout citizens of that State." Tho following is ?ne conservative ticket for County officers in Spartan bnrg: Dr. Benjamin Wofford, for Judge of Probate Court; Captain F. M. Trimmier, for Clerk of Court; Captain John Dewberry, for Sheriff; Daniel H. Willis, for Coroner; W. K. Blnko, W. P. Dickson, James L. Scruggs, County Commissioners; Bev. B. H. Beid, for Sohool Com? missioner. The plan of exporting the suffer? ing poor, it appears, has recently been adopted by Great Britain. The departure of 150 emigrants from London to Qnebec, on April 20, is announced. They are described os mechanics who were out of work, and who were sont ont ns "objects of ?ublio charity" by the Lt ?..don East Ind Emigration Committee. Bom ct hi ts g abo?f t Beards. j Wc can remember-and with not much stretch of the memory either I when the wearer of a moustache was supposed to advertise himself ea a rowdy, abd when to allow the face to go unshaven-save perhaps a small portion of the cheeks, whioh social morality excluded from the general law-was to suffer voluntary ostracism from all circles whioh paid due re? gard to their own character or that of their associates. As to professed. Christians, not to mention ministers, wearing full beards, or the semblance of hair on the upper lip, the thought would have been too horrible to con? template. "Times_change and we change with them." .Beards have, for some rea? son, become a fixed fact, and are quietly accepted as such, thongh, perhaps, net without some mental protest. Possibly California had something to do with this, perhaps1 the Mexican war, and Colonel May's famous chargo at Resoca de la Palma -who knows, or who can follow the rise and foll of any fashion? An English writer attributes the change of sentiment in England to the re? turn of the bearded heroes from the Crimea; but in America the fashion dates anterior to that event. This writer gives, in Cassell's Magazine, the results of some antiquarian study on the subject of beards, from whioh we condense a few passages. "The history of the beard is not an uninteresting snbjeot of research, considering the important part it has played in the world. Most like? ly Tubal Cain drove a good trade in razors. At all events, we road ol shaving at a very early period as an established custom. Joseph, released from prison, conld not thing of going before Pharaoh until he had 'shaved his beard. ' Herodotus tells us that the early Egyptians always shaved, and made their slaves follow their example. Yet, with singular incon? sistency, these people wore false beards as a distinguishing badge oi rank. Great personages-kings and gods-woro great beards; the formet a huge square miracle of curling tongs, the lutter a large one, turned up at the end. Little people had little beards according to their little ness, a small tuft at the extremity o! the chin; while slaves, who wen thought nobody, had, very properly, no beards at all. In their sculpture the Egyptians depict their enemiej with slovenly, untidy, and contempt ible beards. But the Ninevites grev the finest beards of remote antiquity "The Hebrews wore hair on thei chins, but not on their upper lips o cheeks. . . . They resented ai outrage offered to tho beard as tb most bitter insult possible to enmity . . . The Turks would rather b publioly whipped and branded wit! a hot iron than bo shaved, while th Arabs protect their beard as an arti cle of religious faith, because th Prophet never cut his. .Hence sultan has never knbwn razor to hi head, though ho is very part?cula about shaving his slaves in th seraglio as a token of their servitude "The beard has been worn as badge of royalty, ecclesiastical dil tinction, and of certain profession! attainments. The old French kiuf were great on beards. Somo eve wore theirs, like the old kings c Persia, knotted with golden threat and buttoned with gold. Being pe mitted to touch a king's beard wi long held by the Gauls as a pledge < protection; and for a long while tl sovereign used to place hairs of h beard in the seal of his letters, i witness of his own hand and chin. "King Robert of Franco, in tl tenth century, used to wear his lot white beard in battle displayed ov< his cuirass; and tho sight of it fr quently nerved flagging troops, ai secured him victory over his enemie Heury the Fourth of France was r nowned for his beard. . . . Wh< Louis the Fourteenth adopted tl new mode, the fashion grew genen till it became usual for beaux of tl period to carry whisker-wax in thc pockets, together with a small con and brush, wherewith their mistres es might arrange their mot taches. "The church has always had som thing to say about beards. Som times its followers have been enjoin to wear them, to give an air gravity und patriarchal wisdom to i ecclesiastics; at other times envio beardless divines have been led think that pride lurked behind han some locks on the chin* . . . T Greek and Romish Church have lo been at issue on this very questio At tho timo of rhrtir eepssatibn, t Romanists laid down stringent ru about shaving, while tho Greeks : tained their old patriarchal practi of beard-wearing, and indeed pi fessed themselves much scandaliz at the smooth-faced images of t saints in the Romish Church. . . The Tartars waged long and bloo war with the Persians, simply 1 cause they refused to cut their beat to match tho pattern ordered by t Tartar Church, and the old Hebre trimmed their beards sqnnre-corn od by ceremonial law. "The longest beard on record that of John Mayo, a c?l?br?t German painter, surnamed 'John t Bearded,' who used to fasten it np his girdle. Though a very tali mt it reached the ground when loose, that he conld step on it. The E peror Charlas the Fifth used divert himself by making John stand in the open air among his courtiers, that he might watch the wind maka it tty in the faces of the lords. "Of Sir Thomas Moro it is said, that on the scaffold he saved his beard by a joke. The executioner had already lifted the axe to strike, when his victim, looking up for a moment, exclaimed: * At least let mo put aside my beard; that has com? mitted no treason, and it would be an injustice to punish it" AuoUon Sales Administrator's Sale.
