INEw Yotic, June 28.-Two pretty sutumer dresses for dancing wear ox hibited this week had runnings of rib bon upon the skirts. On one, in large meshed cream- colored canvas, palo rose pink satin ribbon was used, the founda tion skirt being of roso pink surah to match. 'Tbo pompadour bodice-com pleted by draperies of the canvas pass ing over the shoulders from the waist was also muade up over an under bodico of pink surah, the short alecves finihed with ribbon runners. A second gown was of white-ligured Brussels net and white faille with white satin ribbon run in the broad hem, braces of the same and bows of satin ribbon on the shoulders lc.oped about tiny bouquets of white heather. Au:ong the newest sashes for dancing toilets are wide scarfs embroidered in Louis XVI style, these thrown over tulle skirts and forming the bouffant drapery in the back. These white satin scarfs are embroidered in sill and che nille, to thich are frequently added ear1 leaves. or else the satin is en -idered v ith clusters of pink azaleas. clover blossoms, sprays of heliotrone or shF.lded roses fastened with Waiteau rib bor.. c'l.ers a sin are in rnaitrials of the :sst of-nturr stripsd with s:f: white si.k ard moss or p e. pink svin, the F:ripes tro,.ded with c.Insters of smail: f c erra :n l"- i.:iart Coloring.

The most fashionable combinafion of color in millinery is heliotrope and mosas- green, Somne of the newv wraps are ehiefly original as regards the sleeves, a tend ency toward thle wider shapes bing ob sorvable, Seine are made with the pa goda sloeoves hanging loose from the arm, and displaying bright colored surab lining, under the net or canvas mate rials which form the sleeves themselves. A number of-now Frenich tea-gowns are shown with these sleeves, which have a certain grace, but are by no means utill tarlan, but act further as a hindrance to exertion of any kind, and make sad havoc with the delicate egg-shell China andt soap-bubble glassware, which go to make up the dainty adornings of my lady's "high-tea'' table. Striped and figured gauzes over col.. oed moire satin are to be adloptod for ladies' nunmmer dresses, profusely trimmed with delicate lace. Acharm ing dress of this kind is prraparod of mauve faille franicaise, covered nbeige colored, finely striped gauze. Tihe tumquo;U is drapend slightl in small plaits, and caught up here anti there with purple volvet bows of the shape k nown as wvind-umill. Around the gauze skirt isalplacedi a rather deep flounce of beige lace. The waste is scoured by a po ited band of ipur pIe volvet, thecellar and turn-back of t,he sleeves being of the samte miater-ial. A biege opera-work straw hat is to be worn with this deli cate toilet of the mosquetaire shape, lined with purple velvet, a large up standing hew of mauve gauze rnban being its sole adornment, For morning wear the loading tailors are makin'g round skirts of striped trousex ing, the underskirt with the stripe running around horizontally, the tunic of the same material havirng the stripes placed vertically. The result is that a woman in this style of skirt dtoes not resemble a maypole, as the stripes usually elongae to a ssed extent. A bove the tai lor-bu lit skirt a tight-titting twil cost is worn, double breasted,' but cut out from- the threat mid way to the waist, for the purpose of exposing to view a jIauntywhite dickey. Around the collar is tied a white silk cravat knotted in the sallor fashion and fixed in plaoe by a horseshoe pin.. Plain straw hats of the color of theo dress are worn with these morning dresses, with rather broad brims, rolled round and bound with corded silk rubau; on the back of the hat Is placed an enormous bow'of oorded ruban. In Paris just new the ladies indulge in uporina brooonhas with annat sunjeo anid huntii knife up olting an onam elled fox or ound's ead, a jockey with whip up, going at Mad speed, the cap and jockey powdered with diamonds. Very stylish and-beoomingjerseys are made of extra light weight atgokinette, very soft and fine, in pale cream color, trimmed with revere of golden brown velvet and fastened with a row of me dium-sized butt-us of bronze. The jcr. soy is short on the hips and has a coat back, the revere on the postillion faced with the velvet, Coronet bonnets are gaining in favor. Coronets of flowers and beads that are quite pretty are shown. Moss and fern leaves, with.slightly curling ends, are arranged in this way, and jet coronote are more sought after than others. Little girls, just walking, wear little coats or blouses of beige, cream, pearl or blue cashmere, embroidered closely In tiny buds In silk, the color of the cashmere. The coat is box-plaited,baok and front, finished with a collar and cuffs ; satin ribbon, the same color, finishes at waist line in long loops and ends in front, sash loops in the back. White dresses are iade of the deep flounce embroidery, a yoke, bolt and cuffs of all-over embroidery. The waist of nainsook In full shirring. Blue serge is much liked for little girls. A novelty is a box-plaited skirt, the front a wido kilt, with small lasting buttons down each sido; the jacket has long pointed fronts, a short back ending in a box vlait. The vest in of chamois hound with blue braid, closed with blue but tons. A novelty in a cap or bonnet for a child of three to five years is a large Gteenaway crown of swiss, all-over et broidery. The front is a wide bati of orange yellow velvet. Very narrow .Tom Thumb yellow ribbon forms a rosette on the front, the ruche of lace about the lace having loops of white ribbon in its ilutings. Uirls of seven to ten wear straw hats, with the brim covered with a puff of dotted bobinet lace; the same around the crown in soft folds, with big 1luffv rosettes of very narrow ribbon in any becoming color, on the front of the crown. Another pretty hat is a conical crown of open straw with the brim covered w ith straw moss. Ribbon trims the crown in a band, and big plaited loops in front with a bunch of small flowers, -hich reach quite to the top of the crowl. A st, lich travelling or school wrap for litie tirls is of brown boucle, in light weight.

THE NEWS AND OIUnRAR HURNAU, 1 108 MAmn tr3T. COLuMBIA. July 2. The flood did not, up to noon to-day attain by eight feet the maximum hei ht of the May freshet and yet the wator had covered nearly all the earth with which the crevasse had been partially filled and had flowed into the Canal. This "backwater" had, however, no force to wash away the banks, and the newly placed earth, not being subjected to the ravages of a current, has been dis solved only to an insignifloant degree. The check dam erected across the mouth of the Canal and protected by a spur jetty of rook from the force of the current, held its own admirably, and when visited at noon to-day was eight or nine feet above the level of the river. Manager Anderson still has a large force of convicts at work heigtoning and broadening this dam, and the Canal is considered quite safe from tho inroads of a current. As already stated, the upper section of the Canal contains a quantity of water which has been backed into it at the old water-works. There is a railway em bankment across the Canal at these works which prevents the water from flowing to the foot of the Canal. But one of the lower breaks has let in a good deal of water which is collected at the Gervais street end. The placidity of. this invasion is, however, a guarantee that the breaches in the banks will not be seriously washed. The river continued to rise last night and this morning reached a height of twenty. three feet above low water, or within ten feet of the highest point in the May flood. It then receded about eighteen inches, but before noon was again rising and had recovered this de cline. It does not seem probable that it will get much higher, as the up-country rains were not as heavy as in May. It ceased raining here early this morn ing, and up to noon the sky was clear. This afternoon the weather is again threatening. Reports from the leased Penitentiary farms to-day tend to confirm the suppo sition in yesterday's correspondence that about 500 acres of bottom corn on the Seegers place and 200 on the Augh try place had been ruined. The water has covered that area, and the indica tions are that the third planting of these lands must be in peas or some -other substituto crop. No regular schedule was operated on the Columbia and Greenville and Spar tanburg, Union and Columbia rail roads to-day. The water covere most of the sections of these lines washed out by the May freshet, and until it subsides the extent of the damage will not he known. It was reported that the Saluda trestle on the former road had again been carried away, but up to 3 P. M. the railroad oflicials had not been advised of such a disaster. Superintendent Tal cott hazards a guess that if the trestle holds out through travel may be resumed by next Tuesday, but nothing can be determined definitely until the water subsides. The washout on the Charlotte, Colum bia and Augusta Railroad, near Vau cluso, was repaired this morning and trains cam.9 through. -Thoro Is a serious break on the Air Line Road between Charlotte and Spartanburg, and another on the Richmond and Danville a few miles north of Charlotte. Altogether the railroad situation is dubious and not encouraging for travellers. The rainfall in Columbia for the month of J'1no was 0.75-100 inches against 4.88-100 inches in Juno, 1835.

The strangest thing of all was that no un sual wina was observed near the cyolone; the whole element seeming to be concen. trated in the circling mass that did thedam. age.

Whe Pitiable Condition of the Roado apd. Crops in Colleton County. WALTzSnono', July 1.-With the begin ning of July the prospect to -the farmer i% truly alarming. Since the 21st of June Wo have been having the heaviest kind of rain sto3 Me, accom panied with very high winds, which have played havoc with the crops, entire fields being covered with water, hav. irg more the appearance of large pondt than of fields planted in corn and cotton, The farmers are very gloomy over the pros. pect which but a few weeks ago was the most promising for several years pat; Should the weather now clear off and the summer sun in all its strength come out the entire cotton crop will be actually boiled up, while tho corn crop will be ont ofi over three. quarters. One of our most successful rico planters slates this to be the heaviest freshet in the county in his experience. a prominent farmer told me this morning, and he is quite an elderly gentleman, that he has never ex. perienced such a season; he cannot even go Into his fleds without bogging and that It id even two wet to plant tllps for potatoes. A. gentleman from Round 0 informs me that in some cotton fields in his section, he could paddle over tho entire field in a boat and this is the case in all this section of the county. Our roads are so badly washed that it is al. most an imposeibllity to travel. On the mail route to W altorboro' the mail and suoic pairengore who attempt to make the trip are brought over a mile down the road in a row boat, brldges being swept away and the water too deep for vehicles to travel through.

TIe New Railroad near at Hand.. Washouts on the Mir Line. GItEENIVILL.I, July 2.--The rainy spell has at last broken and farmers ire more hopeful, especially those who - growr grapes. Yesterday was an awful day. A continued rain fell all (lay, driven by a old north wind. Grapes are rotting badly, the cause being the downy mi.. dew which multiplies and increases rapidly du-ring raiy spells. The reme dies recommended by the highest au thoritler are not appleod here, owing to the commuon belief that they are no.t effective. The 'whistlo of the Greenville and Laurons trains can be heard two miles away, Thoro is a busy blasting and. building im town near where the depot is to be located. The depot will he ini the lheart of the city, about 200 yards to the rear of Ferguson & MIllor's store. This gives the Georgia Central quite an advantage over tho Air Line, and there are rumors that the latter road will move its depot nearer In. Another rumor is that the Air line will get control of the street railway and d(liver merchants their goods free of drayage. Tihe Geor gin Central will build a large -cottom platform, whioh will be free for the use ofbuers and( oryb)ody. This will give them a better chance at hauling the coitton, as the platform will be so close anid hand y to all. Competition is the life of trade, and once again Greenville 'will be benefited by the measuring of swor ds by two gio:antic railroad corpora tions. Washouts on the Air Line Road cause confusion in travel, There Is a heavy wasbout near Charlotte and one at Thickety, in Spartanburg County, The latter- has been repaired. The train froan Charlotte, which should have. reacihed hero yestorday afternoon at 5 o'clock,' arrived at 12 to-day. No accidents have occurred. ,TACK RE gIL IN RAMPEON.
