Our New ColossusA Good Hand for a Mother Disappointing the Doc tors Sardanapalus Phila , delphia The New "Hub' The Dog Velocipede A Century Clock. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. , New York, Aug. 18, 1876. To the Editors of the Centennial: Like Munich and Detmold of to day, and like Rhodes of old, JNew York is to have her Colossus. Right after the Franco-Prussian war the French government, to show its gratitude for favors shown that suf fering realm and in , furtherance of the reciprocal good feeling which has existed between the two coun tries ever since the struggle in which the American Eagle was hatched, voted to give to our metropolis a colossal bronze statute of Liberty to stand before our watery gates and bear aloft in its mighty hand a bea con to warn off danger, while it should greet with a symbolic wel come the voyager to the home of the Htar Spangled Banner. But ?reat bodies move slowly, and thus it was not till last fall or several years after the passage of this laudable resolu tion we began to hear much about steps toward its praptical carrying out. Then it was that after choos ing Bedloe's Island as the site of the monument work was activelv com menced and seen the uaDers teemed with paragraphs relating to the progress of the work in the Parisian studio, where the figure was being modeled. 80 rapidly have ooerations been pushed that these have been re ceived this week at the Custom House, eight enormous boxes, con taining as many sections of the gi gantic female who is henceforward to preside over our harbor. At last accounts only two of these boxes had been landed, one of which contains the right hand and wrist and the second, the torch which the hand will eventually hold. This hand, while not exactly the sort that a fond lover would yearn to press, would be a positive godsend to any mother with numerous and turbu lent offspring; for, beside being four teen feet long itis six or seven feet broad and weighs a good manv pounds, and I have no doubt that in any little case of family discipline, a little of it would go a good wav. I haven't been able to find anyjbody who could give me the correct di mensions of the finished statue, but if your readers are generally famil iar with comparative anatomy (as I doubt not is the case) the foregoing figures together with the fact that the thumb nail on this little "flip per" is two feet long, will afford them data enough to enable them to calculate the total height to a nicety. The eight big boxes, forming the first installment, contained one arm only, the frieght on which, from Havre to New York, was a trifle un der $500. Probably at no time in his long and eventful life has Commodore Vanderbilt been the focus of such general and constant attention as now m his last hours or rather what all the doctors keep insisting ought to be his last hours. But as he has had three months of them already and shows no signs yet of an early relin quishment of life these wise descen dants of Galen are beginning to re call Mr. O'Conor's resurrection after their fellows had pronounced him to all intents and purooses a dead man. and are commencing to "hedge" a nine on tneir oracular prophecies. Some weeks ago their report was. "Mr. Vanderbilt can hardly last through the night." After ten davs or so of this they kindly consented to reprieve the old gentleman for "a week or more," and now the learned brothers gravely announce that "the patient may live for months or even years," but that he has got to go at last. Now.it strikes an impartial ob server that the anxious family might get as much information as that out of lots of fellows who would be" glad to stand around and "predict" at a couple of dollars a day, instead of paying these owls in broadcloth irom one to two thousand nr p.Anf. abovd market rates for verv much the same kind of work. "NVr hut what "the patient" is verv old And feeble and liable to die at anv mo ment, autwheu that is going to be the doctors don't know anv morA than I do. During ali this time that Mr. V. has been confined to his house the newspapers have reported his condi tion, surroundings, and conversation so far as they could by any means ob tain it, with untiring zeal, yarying uie eniorceu monotony or tnese re ports by reprinting all sorts of orob aoie auu improbable anecdotes of his - m . "... - . WARRENTON) life. The Commodore himself to whom one would think all this obituary-flavored attention might be un pleasantly suggestive, takes it all in good part, and even shows consider able interest in the public solicitude. The crowd of reporters and visitors that throng his doors do not seem to trouble him in the least, He directs their questions to be answered and sometimes sends down to them his own opinion of his condition. Monday, the 14th inst., was a date which had been eager ly anticipated by all lovers of the stage. At Booth's Theatre on that evening, after months of prepa ration, was rendered for the first time in America Mr. Charles Calvert's masterly stage version of Lord Byron's "Sardanapalus.l' As might have been safely predicted from the magnitude of these preparation added to the prestige of the management, the piece achieved an instant and so unqualified -suceesa that Messrs" Jar rett & Palmer predict fur it a greater run than that of "Julius Caesar." The dramatic interest of the play centers upon the Assyrian king and his Greek slave Myrrha, respectively personated by Mr. F. C Bangs (the Marc Antony of Julius Cfeaar,)" and Mrs. Agnes Booth. But this interest, although consid erable, is overshadowed by the spec tacular accessories which positively excel any thing of the kind ever before attempted iu this country. To pro duce them required the expenditure of over $60,000 in gold, before the first rising of the curtain. The scenery, which was painted in England, alone cost $10,000. The ballet, which is the finest ever seen in New York, comprises nearly one hundred Italian ladies, the leading star being Mile. Bartoletti, the Taglioni of the pres ent day. In all, four hundred per sons, men, women and children, take part in the gorgeous peagants and battle tableaux, while in addi tion to full orchestra, a mixed cbo rus of one hundred voices render the appropriate music of the play. The stage effects throughout are grand in tne extreme, but the crown ing scene the immolation of 'Sar danapalus and Myrrha, surpasses even the thrilling effect of Brutus' funeral pyre in the great Shakespe perian revival. Philadelphia, August 19th. A quiet week has been the past at the Hub of the Universe title loaned by the courtesy of the capital of Mas sachusetts, for six mouths only the average crowd going through the average amount of sight seeing in very much the average manner. Many of them move so lazily, that they seem to long for duplicates of that dog-velocipede in the main building, that triumph of inventive genius which none of your readers who have been hfre could have failed to notice. I am of the opinion that the designer of that vehicle must have been the identi cal gentleman who said he wasn't feeling at all well and expressed the conviction that working between meals was mining his consitution. It is a sort of trotting sulky, without shafts, each of whose two wheels, from the hub nearly to the tire, is a wire cage, entirely similar in opera tion to one of those whirligig ar rangements atttached to squirrel cages, to aftord the bushy tailed oc cupant a chance to settle his break fast without getting too far from his home. Into these wheels are in serted two unfortunate canines and steam is gotten up by giving the ve hicle a gentle push which presents to the astonished "purps" the alter nate of either working their passage rr turning a good many somersaults. The average dog incautiously chooses the former, and once started is doomed to illustrate perpetual motion till he drops, or till the rider, who, meanwhile, is comfortably seated on the axle, sees fit to releaie him. I In the excursionists who dosen't take kindly to doing his own loco motion, the contemplation of this invention awakens feeling of envy and delight. Visions of summer trips to be conducted with small labor and expense rise at once before his heated immagination, and as the class alluded to is by no means small, I shall not be surprised if the new style of "dog cart" becomes quite popular, consider its sim plicity and varied utility. With sigh of relief the city merchant op pressed by hard times, sells off his costly equipage, and with an insig nificant fraction of the proceeds pur chases the new improvement, catches a couple of the vagrant quadrupeds in the streets, and sails down to busi ness with an applauding conscience. The hunter Out for a day's sport, instead of using up his strength Id the preliminary tramp, simply puts his faithful hounds into the tread mill and camly reads his paper till the chosen spot is reached, when he releases his steeds and sets them to starting up the game. The tourist or pleasure seeker has only to fin,d a couple of pair of dogs to "spell" each other along the loute, and, so lotig as he can escape Mr. Bergh, may go wherever he will to Alaska for a week's seal fishing, to the Black Hills for sealps or to New Jersey for mosquitoes, just as he pleases. A little reflection would doubtless sug gest hundreds of other possible ap plications of these new principles, but the instances just cited are suf ficient to demonstrate their great importance. , In the Kansas and Colorado build ing there is on exhibition a "century clock," the only one of the kind in existence. It tells the month of the year, the day of the month, the day of the week, the hour of the day, the minute of the hour, and runs one hundred years at one winding. It works with a weight of ten to one hundred times less power than is re quired to run any other escapement in the world, and thus comes nearer to perpetual motion than other ma chine in existence. It would be a good idea to wind it up (by dog-power) at the close of the Exposition and then see if it will tick in our third century. Radix.

NEW YORK FASHIONS. j My fair readers will oblige me by ipter preting the above caption" in an extended sense, and by attaching to i; a much wider signification than would at first appear, both as to place and as to the range of articles in which fashion is observed. I sym pathise fully with the righteous in dignation which would be felt by any woman of fashion at the thought Of being found within city limits, at tpe present time, and my remarks ujpon dress, therefore, should be un derstood as applying especially to What one may see at Newport, Long Efranch, and wherever else may be thought genteel at the present time. New York fashion, indeed, is a poor affair, compared with the ttyles at fashionable resorts, and to tell the tiuth, moreover, the getters up of New York fashions have discarded al ideas pertaining to summer, and ajre toiling in anxious thought over What the morrow will bring forth ; that is to say what will be worn next Winter. BATHING SUITS. Among the various pitfalls which bpset the career of an innocent mind ed man, I know nothing more dan gerous than a becoming bathing suit. Iju the first place it is so perfectly different from other devices, which fiom oft repetition have become un profitable, tbat his attention is at opce arrested. A cardinal point is tius gained, and if that suit be wise ly chosen, as to the result, why, there may be "millions in it." There is a look of such artless sim plicity ; the falsities of crinoline, flounces and the like discarded, nor could any one imagine that a more -ffftal danger lurked in such sweetly uhpretending things as Turkish pntelets, a blouse waist; and a short sirt reaching to the knees. MOUNTAIN COSTUMES. In my humble opinion there is no trjore sensible creature in the world, ai the present moment, than the Girl of the Period as she goes on a moun tain excursion. She puts on a short slfirt of serge, grey or black, and overdress in keeping ; the comfort ale blouse waist confined by a broad bflt, to which is attached a satchel, aad whatever other conveniences she niay require duriug her campaign ; stjput shoes, a brad brimmed hat, and gloves of undressed kid com plete a costume which is captivating by reason of its entire appropriate ness. It may furthermore be added that our Aramintas do not always content themselves with such sober styles as black or grey. It is per mitted to the more daring to reuder these mountain costumes extremely fanciful if it is so desired, but they are fanciful by reason of the selection of brilliant colors, not by the super fixity of adornments, which, let it be understood, are banished on occasion olpedestial excursions, with the ex ception of two or three modest look ing ruffles around the bottom edge of the short skirt, giving, it is true, to the uninitiated, the look of a petti coat, while, be it remembered, it is not a petticoat but an underskirt. Such weighty and important dis tinctions being duly noted, I would add that sometimes a coquettish ly disposed brunette makes choice of an underskirt of bright red serge, while not content with this she adds furth mbre a yellow overdress. HOW TO BE STYLISH. If you cannot be "Centennial" you must be "Oriental" if you cannot wear something which your grand mother wore at the Republican Cqurt, then the next best thing is to war a Pertian or an Indian some thing. If you are at loss to know what, I will make the mild sugges tidn of a set of tiger's claws, which are just the "loveliest" things I krjow of. , No make-believe claws, bujjt the genuine things, reminding yow, on a larger scale of your dear puissy. We have them in ail sorts of ways. For a brooch, a mammoth clafw, with a golden tiger sittiug in a picturesque attitude on the top ; for bracelets-, successive claws joined to gether, and in beautifully graduated sizjes, etc., etc. I cannot imagine anything more tenderly suggestive of phe honeymoon, and so far as ap propriateness is concerned, they cer tainly would make admirable bridal presents. As an inducement to the purchase of a set of claws, I will as sure my readers there is plenty of gold about them ; poetical looking golfd leaves spread themselves on the topis ; the sharp ends of 'all cased in gold, and during a matrimonial pro bation, the cases being taken off they would, properly handled, form very stylish and effective weapons of war. Not that I mean to iusinuate thatt young ladies generally need to supplement nature's gift to them iu this line. O, no! not by any means; but during the Fall we shall cer tainly have a "grand revival" of weddings, and these few hints are given in advance. RED BOWS. Ijf one is too poor to wear tiger's clajws, or to pretend to have had a great grand mother, the next thiug I ould suggest, would be to wear a godd many red bows. Now, it is really wonderful about these red bows you can stick them any wherr, it ron't matter you can wear a reu belt if you want to, and if you can finii a wide one of your grand moth er's hid away anywhere, why just Eut it right on, and be sure that you ave done a wise thiug. Not in the evening only, but in broad daylight, we see these bright additions to the costume not only in the house, hut in j the street, usually with black (black grenadine costumes in partic ular;) and as I have said, they can be stuck on anywhere. Bonnets too, ar some of them lavishly trimmed with red ribbon, and as for the red cherries, I really could not count them. Accounts from Paris tells us that over there they are having red dresses and red parasols. But, please nnw rinn'r. imneinp verv one of ii twiimr annul. ilraMBfiri off" in led. nr wearing red hats. What I mean to : say is that a great deal may be worn without looking conspicuous. Viewed philosophically, there is a reason for such partiality. It is the absence af all other positive coloring in dress. One sees everywhere such delicacy, or fcuch sobriety of tint, that it does seem a necessity to have something more decided, and noth ing is prettier than the dashes of red which are to be observed in the midst of quiet grays and browns. Ihis in dress fabrics, while as to or namentation, enough has been said. ORIENTAL MASQUES Affectionate but erring husbands who, after feeling all over for the' door knob, succeed in laudable at tempts to climb the stair case, should be careful how they bestow the kiss of peace on a sleeping Jane or Mary. Such conjugal caress might be ex pended ou an Oriental Masque. In such instances he has followed out his manly instincts, as exemplified from grandfather Noah, downwards. &7ie has done what every true woman ought to do tried to improve her Deauty. "Life, liberty, and the pur suit of happiness," are the rights of every individual, aud if any poor, innocent minded woman finds her happiness increased by sleeping in a masque, besmeared with a magic salve on the inside, she is ver easily made content. Enthusiasts also wear gloves to match, scented with a rare perfume, which lasts for days after. An adoring swain, as he lifts the delicate hand of his mistress to his lips, or gazes with rapture on her velvet cheek, may not know how much he owes to the potent results of an Oriental Masque, and sachet gloves. Perhaps 'tis better that he never should. "Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly, etc." FASHION IN FUNISHING. As I hinted above, the sway of fashion is by no means confined to matters of dress. The present sea son of their absence from the city is the time chosen by our wealthy peo ple for refittiug their elegant man sions, the selection of furniture and decorations for which has become al most as much subject to the behests of the imperious goddess as is the curve of a bustle or the precise angle of a bonnet. So great are her en croachments in this direction thatno article, grtat or small, may now go into the salon en regie which does not obey her lawn of h-irmony or contrast. From the foot stool to the piano nothing must interfere with the symmetry or the whole. The latter article has heretofore been sup posed to maintain its position by vir tue of the old saw, " Handsome "ia as handsome doe3," but in this new era modest merit is not held sufficient for all occasions.' The bare outlines and sombre color which have characterized the pianos of a century are not, indeed, baoinb ed entirely, but the demands of im- pir jjcui iiRve res u 1 tea in tne In tro auction of beauty and erace into their outward appearance to a hith erto unknown extent. The spirit of this change has been early aud fully caught by our New York house of Hardraan & Co., who have attained such wide and sudden prominence since the opening of the Centennial and who. beside their standaid styles are casing many of their wonderful instruments in a variety of rich and novel ways. In their specialities of Parlor and Upright Grands, the ef fects of maple, walnut, inlayiug. eb ony, and the various novelties which they execute to order, enhance gnar ly the attractiveness of- their work and have had their share in builo iug the reputation of the name. Of course Hardman & Co., in eommou with all other first class makers, produce the plainer styles, but if wealth and culture -desire the out side appearance to correspond more nearly with the internal merit, why should they not be gratified ? It not only serves to adoru their drawing rooms but tends to popularize things of beauty and is therefore, as much in the interest of Art as of Fashion. Next month I shall be able to an nounce at least a portion of the Fall styles. POLITICAL NOTES. Babcock still held his Government office at last accounts. A "marching" Tilden and Hendricks Club has been formed in Springfield, Pa. In Fayette county, Alabama, there are but eight white Republicans, and seven of these are office-holders. Adams-for Governor of Massachusetts seems to bVa popular idea with the De mocracy of the whole country. The Tilden and Bendrick's flag-pole in Iuka, Miss., is surmounted by a new broom, the campaign signal suggested by Mr. "WattCrson 's Courier-Journal. The Worcester Press says : "Speak ing about telegraphing a tune, how do our Republican friends like the tune that was telegraphed from Alabama the other day?" Bingham the late Republican State Treasurer of Alabama, is now being sued by the State for $75,000 defalcation in ac counts. Governor Houston has turned over twenty -eight indictments to the So licitor of Montgomery county against radical officials for malfeasance in office. New York World: The farmers and property-holders in Livingston county paid in 1804 in taxes to the State $101, 354.64. In less than two years under Governor Tilden's administration these taxes have been reduced nearly fifty per cent., or to $52,698,50. Do the-Bepubli-cans imagine that it would be healthy for their speakers to stand up and tell the farmers of Livingston that Governor Til den is a "sham reformer?" The Southern Home says of the Demo cratic nominee for Governor , of South Carolina : There is not a purer, nobler, higher-toned man on earth than General Hampton. NO. 29. CAMPAIGN NOTES. Goldsboro Messenger : Governor Brog den. found his way to the south side of the Neuse on Saturday, and, we learn, delivered himself of one of his character istic harrangues at Dudley to a small crowd, mostly negroes. We can win if we only make up our minds that it can and must be done. Nothing can be accomplished without ef fort, we must enter upon this campaign with tne watch-word, "cry aloud and spare not." Hon. John Gooite,of Va. The Asheville Citizen asserts upon the most respectable authority, that Billy Smith, in a private conversation at a stockholders' meeting at Salisbury, said : "I'll be damned if I ever spend a dollar or lay a pound of iron on the Ducktown Road, or west of the French Broad River in that direction." Goldsboro Messenger: aeveral township meetings in this county on Sat urday last were ali largely attended, and- as far as we have heard, the delegations to the county nominating convention are first-class in all essentials. The chief bone of contention seemed to be for the Senatorship, and as a matter of news we deem it not out of place here to say that Mr. I. F. Dortch is certainly the choice of a large majority of the people of Wayne for Senator. 1 The Monroe Enquirev.s&s that honest, sensible Republicans in that section "are now fast forsaking the sinking ship. Every day we hear of prominent ones in different parts of the county cutting loose from the old machine' In every town ship they are beginning to wake up from their political sleep, and to arouse them selves from the stupor of radical drugs. The disgusting scene of tho Radical Con vention, run by revenue officers, mail agents, post masters, political divines and negroes, was too much for them, and one of their lead horses has kicked clear out of the tracea. NORTH CAROLINA. The Wilmington Stnr says that the postmaster at Bell Swamp. Bruns wick county, has been removed and the office discontinued, in conse quence of the postmaster's trafficking in stamps and stamped envelops, contrary to the regulations of the de partment. Up about Durham thev are shoot ¬ ing darkies as they emerge from eorn nems in um atitly ntgnt. A negro boy called Yellow Sam a Durham institution, waa thrown off of a dray, the other day, by the running"away of a horse, and had an arm broken. The Alamance Gleaner has re-ap. peared. Glad to see it. The Alamance Gleaner learns that the needs of the Oxford Orphan Asy lum are very great, that some twenty of the orphans have been discharged and others are refused. Mjr. W. J. Murray, of Alamance, had the misfortune to have hid to bacco barn burned recently, entailing a loss of about $1,000. The Shelby Banner says that a man named Isler, about 65 yeara of age, who had just been converted and joiued the Baptist Church at Black's Statiou, fell dead on his way to Ad tioch Church, Cleavelaud county, a few days ago. He had set down to rest, and getting up to start, fell on his face in the sand and never moved. The criminals of Clay county are sent to the jail of Cherokee, and the Cherokee Herald, remarking on the fact that two were received a week ago, says : " The morals of Clay county nave nitnerto been a good that no jail was necessary." SARATOGA. The ConventionsThe Republicans endorse GrantSome of the Liber als Support Hayes and Others Til den Morgan Nominated by the Straight-Outs. Saratoga, Aug. 23. In the after noon session of the Convention John Francis was chosen permanent chair man. B. Piatt Caipenter, from the Com mittee on Resolutions, reported, re affirming the ptinciples declared in the resolutions of the Convention of June 14, 1876, and set forth in the let ters of acceptance of Hayes and Wheeler. The resolutions recognize the patriotism and public services o Grant. The Liberal Republican Conven called by Jolin Cochrane, Chair man of the Liberal State Committee, and other supporters of Hayes and Wheeler, met to-day, adopted a reso lution supporting Hayes and Wheel er, and took a recess. The Liberal Independents, repre senting in part 18 counties in the State, who refused to accept the in vitation of the Cochrane Liberal Re publicans to unite with them in sup port of Hayes and Wheeler and enter the Republican State Convention, held a conference to-day at which they endorsed Tilden and Hend ricks, and adjourned. After the appointment of a com mittee to confer with the Liberal Republicans.nominations were made for Governor. Ex. Governor, E. D. Morgan, Wm. M. Evarts, Wm. H.
