|i|||ah. Mk Editor,—We hare just returned ilm Brighton after having, oh ! such a lightfnl time at Goodwood and by the Hide. Tom and a number of friends I urtcred a special train that took us over | phichostor every morning, and from thence | i drove through the Park nnd the famous ; Irdless Avenue to the racecourse. The I wither was perfect, ani the crowd of I yaltics and fashionables something to I member. On Cup day, Captain 1) I ok me into tho paddock to see St. Simon 1 Silled. As wo were strolling around, the I ince of Wales came in with tho .Duke of I )rtland and ono of the most beautiful girls I Sever saw—Lady Ida Vane-Tempest. I ley stood chatting with Matthew Dawson, jj 0 trainer, for several minutes, so that I 8 eta'good look at her. She is a blonde, I ith dark oyes, lashes, and eyebrows, and I l exquisite complexion. Her dress was of 1 h|te Indian silk, intermingled in somo I ivel style with lace. Tho Duke of l'ort nd is a mnnly young fellow, tall and I oad-shouldored, with black close-cropped lir and a small moustache. It may in itest your jeunense three to know that real rolls, such as this young Duke, do not get lemselves up " masher "-fashion in tall og' collars and gaudy ties. Tho best men '< i .Goodwood dressed very quietly. They ipAy all wore plain black morning coats, ■j white or buff waistcoat, and dark striped ousers. This summer, as last, white linen e8 made for use with a scarf-pin are all the ige. Spots, lam glad to say, have quite one out. They were very nice for men ith small feet, but made beetle-crushers, ■ ke my Tom's, look bigger than ever. JNow for a few words about the ladies'

I [tresses at Goodwood. On Tuesday tho !iJ princess of Wales wore an exquisitely made ■:j jiqstiume of plain black, which was relieved "■ By & few wfiito roses in her bonnet, and a j fjnall bouquet of orchids at the bodice. Richmond,theLadiesGordon iennox and Lady March were also in court lourning, but the latter had a great deal f white lace about her dress. On Cup day he Princess appeared in a figured silk ostume of black and white, having some chat the effect of pheasant pencilling. )pwn the front of the bodice, from the ipright lace collar, ran a narrow trimming >f the same material; a plain black bonnet, md a bouquet of pink roses completed a cry becoming attire. The Imperial Crown 'rincess of Germany, who has grown some irhat stout and Teutonic in appearance, rare a dress of black satinette, relieved with ong, narrow bands of velvet. Some mag lificent pearls were intertwined amidst the eathers of her bonnet. The three young Princesses of Germany, accompanying their mother, seemed to be stolid, uninteresting sort of girls. They were plainly dressed in limplo oatmeal-colomed cloth. On the awn the Duchess of Manchester and Mar chioness of Ormonde attracted most attention. The latter wore a very soft grey costume,trimmed with soft ball fringe, passementerie, and grey marabouts, and a small grey bonnet edged with pearls. Her Grace of Manchester was in fawn-coloured cashmere much braided. My friend, Mrs Labouchere ("Madge" in "." Truth"), who has a happy faculty of picking out what Tom would call the *' snappiest" costumes in a big crowd, writes as follows about some of the dresses at Goodwood:—"The great majority were Jyhite or cream-colour, though quite a large number were black. One of the loveliest Costumes was composed of white Rumchun der silk, the stuff you get at Liberty's, with a crinkly surface, just like crepe; indeed, the texture is scarcely more substantial than that of French crepe, though every thread •of it is silk. Well, the gathered bodice was made of this, as well as the tunic, which wag also gathored and caught up in paniers, Scry -full indeed over a skirt of mauve •velvet. The folds were fastened with loops ;6f velvet ribbon, some being pure white •like the silk, and others of the shade of the (■irelvet, which had <» pinkish tint running ■ through the mauve. I have never seen so becoming a shade. Tho large lace hat was lined with this .colour, and trimmed with petunias of the precise tint. Tho sunshade Was made of the Rumchunder silk, lined

:with, mauve, and it had a large bow of .velvet ribbon in the two colours on the .ferule, and another on the handle. We saw another dress which is lesa difficult to de -1 Bcribe,for much of the beauty of the last one consisted in tho gracefulness of the draping and the softness of the folds into which this ideal silk naturally falls. The second dress •■Sifaa of black velvet, and the skirt consisted 'entirely of wide panels, open up to the waist, and lined with white surah. These j'fell over a petticoat of soft white satin, ■edged with a flounce of mingled satin and syelvet, and covered with the most exquisite embroidery in grey, white, and black, the materials being chenille, silk, beads, and little spangles. Long, slender tassels of Bilks and beads depended from the hearts of I the lilies which formed the design. The panels of velvet were edged with similar tassels, forming a deep fringe. The bodice had a waistcoat of white satin with similar - embroidery, and a small wired lace collar, : edged with shaded grey beads. Tho basque was edged with smaller tassels than those - on the skirt. The bonnet was the smallest thing of the sort I have ever seen, and may be said to have consisted of a handful of beads and the business end of a feather. : .It was, however, extremely becoming, per haps for the reason that it did not jealously ' bide too much of the lovely bronze-gold hair ion which it was rather irrelevantly placed. £ "There was a grey dress worn by an im p beautiful woman, which was a triumph of art. It was like a mist or cloud, so soft and downy was the effect; but how this was obtained, I am unable to explain. might have been suggested by come ;■ pearl-grey morning, when one wonders if the vaporous atmosphere means coming !^ rain or brooding heat. Another charming ■• dress was of pale sky-blue silk, softened with old English lace. The wearer carried .. a parasol which was the crowning glory of poetic raiment. The arcli of the sunshade . was an ivory cream, and upon it were >.worked large lace horse-shoes." "' , Notwithstanding that Mr Laioichere has I decreed that the American Comedy Company : :afc Toole's Theatre are not far short of per lection, Londoners won't take to them. We I went again the other evening, and was just as much bored as on the first occasion. =" "Dollarsand Sense," their new piece, is a most maddening production. All through §| you are expecting some ludicrous climax, " which never comes. The Americans in the I house seemed to think tho play all right, I and laughed continuously, often at the M absurdest trifles. Wo tried our best to be 1 amused, but it was no good—our cachin natory muscles wouldn't work.

Mr Brookfield, one of the most promising I wembsrs of the Bancrofts' Company, has I leased the Haymarket for a short summer § season. The hcuso opened on Saturday last w'.th "The Waterman"—in which, if the rrpipera aro to be believed, Mr Herbert I § ms Reeves made a shocking exhibition of I himself—and " Evergreen/ a re-hash of an old piece known as "Tho Roused Lion." In the latter Mr Brockfield impersonates, with considerable effect, a rich old uncle who bursts in upon his scapegrace nephew 1 just as the latt;r is about to entertain a "party of Bohemian fiiends — male and femnle. Tho guests set to woik to

draw out the old man and make fuii of

§ him. Afc tirst they appear to succeed ; •^--when, all of a sudden, his mood changes. ra He throws off every trace of gout and I frheumatism, and mixes with the festive |i throng with the utmost gusto. The young men find he can win their money at play, § and captivates the hearts of the girls by his ■': old - fashioned dances. Finally, when a j, young French fop insults him, the veteran f pulls down a couple of /oils from the wall, and promptly changes ridicule into respect by disarming his skilled adversary with a . few rapid paises. The piece was well %

We went lnst night to sea the revival of ■ Burnand'a {amous oxtravaganwi, " Black :,: Eyed Susan," at the Alhambra. It was produced 18 years ago at the Little Royalty . Theatre in Soho, and had the longest run I ever known up to that time. How the ; street urchins of those days used to bellow "Captain Crosstree is my Name" and " Pretty See-usan, don't |ay no !" The two favourite, aire are still retained, and go as :■: aaemiy aa ever; but, in other respects, the burleßime is almost unrecognisable. From rf.^ OT * > il^ extravaganza it has been into a gorgeoua spectacular

piece, with procession*, ballad^ and choruses galore. The result is that one feta rather tired before the end comes, 'our old friend,,Wm. Horace Lingard, was cast for tho role of Captain Crosstree; but his conception of the part didn't satisfy Mr Burnand.so Arthur Roberts was engaged instead. He keeps the audience in fits of laughter, and is really very funny—especi ally in the famous tipsy scene where Cross tree persecutes Susun. Miss Bessie Bone hill, an importation from tho music-hall stage, jlays William. She lias a song, " See-usan, Ahoy'"which promises tobecomo painfully popular by-and-bye. Miss Lizzie Mulliolland is See-usan. She has a nice voice, and does full justice to the verses of the part songs that fall to hor share. The " new and original mufic," written for the piece by Alfred Lee (of "Champagne Charlie" fame), consists of a number of merry jingling melodies rather above than below the ordinary music-hall calibre. They will doubtless be published mid sung -.ill over the kingdom before long. A vil lage festival and maypolo dance, in the second act, is the most successful of the spectacular effects. Very few new books come out at this time of the year. People are mostly in the country or at the seaside, where they lounge on tho sands and read yellow-backed novels. Talking of the latter, two very celebrated works aro now for the first time obtainable in tho two shilling form. I refer to Warren's " Ten Thousand a Year " and " Diary of a Lato Physician." They had an enormous salo at shillings, and have only been issued cheaper because tho copyright has expired, James Payn's " A Grape from a Thorn " is also out at two shillings, and so aro Hawley Smart's " Salvage," Miss Edwards's " Bridget," and Chas. Gibbon's "Braes of Yairjw." The first-named has long been reckoned ono of Payn's most artistic succcssos.

My prophecy as to the "House on the Marsh (the "Family Herald" novelette I recently drew your attention to), hns been fulfilled to the letter. It is tho literary sensation of tho moment. On every metro politan bookstall largo piles of the little work are conspicuous. When buying n copy at the head office the other day, I asked how many they had sold, and tho reply was about 40,000. The authoress is a young woman named Warroiii She re» ceived £12 for her work. An article in the "Pall Mall Gazetto" says that £3, or at most £5, is the largest sum ever paid for a penny novelette. I feel suro this must bo amis take, for a friend of mine received £7 for a short tale sho sent the " Family Herald." Itwaspublished as ono of their supplements, and sold only fairly well. Tho " Family Herald" proprietary are naturally deluged with rubbishy scribblings from all quartorg of the globe ; yet, I believe, thoy devote considerable time and pains to the discovery of hidden talent. If all one hears be true, Miss Braddon was ono of their finds.

A new sporting story, by Hawley Smart, has taken the place of " Dorothy Forster " in the " Graphic," and Mr«Francillion is writing a novel entitled "Ropes of Sand" for tho " Illustrated London News." Miss Braddon's "Ishmael" draws to a close in the " Whitehall Review," and Wilkie Collins has just finished seeing his romance, "I say No," through tho pre^s. Messrs Bentley announce a new novel entitled " Queen Mab," by Lord James Douglas, whoso " Estcourt" was so popular, and the same firm have in hand "A North Country Maid," by Mrs Lovett Cameron, authoress of "Deceivers Ever," and other stories. Macmillan and Co.'s forthcoming works in olude "Miss Tommy," amediocralromance, by the author of " John Halifax, Gentle man " ; "Gill," by Miss Dillwyn ; and the "Armourer's 'Prentices," by Charlotte Yonge. I done think there is anything more at present. Elise.

CURIOUS MARRIAGES.

The other week the consummation of a marital engagement took placo at Em manuel Church, Hastings, connected with which was a scene of a novel and comical character. A certain laundress was then and there joined in holy matrimony to a certain house-decorator, and the religious rites were conducted ir. the most decorous manner; but as soon as the wedding party had quitted the church, they were assailed by a copious shower of rice, whilst a tandem-team of three "Jerusalems" was drawn up to convey the principals whither soever it was desired. It is sometimes asserted that " every tub should stand on its own bottom," but on the present occasion, we are told, a wash-tub was placed on a "low-back car" in an inverted position, upon which the blushing lavatorian was quickly seated by agile bearers who bad been told off for the occasion. The order was given to drive to a certain hotel in the neighbourhood of St. George's Road and the Priory Road, and away went the trio of " Jerusalems" in single file, under another shower of rice, and to the amuse ment of a large crowd of persons whom tho novel proceedings had attracted to the spot. If the above were to be described as low comedy, it is presumed that what now follows might, with equal propriety, be termed high chivalry. On March 2f'th, 1679, a buronetiy was con ferred on William Kenrich. Tho second baronet left his property to an only daughter, who kept herself disengaged until when attending a wedding, she suddenly fell in love with a handsome but poor attorney, named Child. She decided on sending tho young man a letter demand ing satisfaction for injuries she alleged had been inflicted on her, and at the same time appointing a place for a hostile meeting. By the advice of a friend, Mr Child re solved to meet the challenge as here de scribed :—

Early on a summer's morning. When bright Pheebus was adorning Every bower with his beams, Thia fair lady came, it seems. At the bottom of a mountain, Near a pleasant crystal fountain, Thrre sho Uft her gilded coach While the grove she did approach. Covered with her mask, and walking, There Bhemet her lover, talking With a friend whom he had brought. So she asked him whom he sought. " I am challenged by a gallant; Who resolves to try my talent; Who Jie is I cannot say. But I hope to show him play." " It is I wh ) did invite you: "You shall wed me, or I'll fight you Underneath theso spreading trees ; Therefore choose from which you please. " You shall find I do not vapour. I have brought my trusty rapier; Therefore take your choice." said she— II Either fight or marry me." Said he. " Maiden, pray what mean you? In my life I've never seen you ! Pray unmask, your visage show. Then I'll tell you ay or no." ** T will not mjT ttico uncover Till the marriaee ties are over; ThoreEore choose you which you will- Wed mo, sir, or try your skill. " Step within that pleasant bower With your friend one single hour; Ptrive your thoughts to reconcile And I'll wander here the while." Whilst the beauteous lady waited, Tho young bachelor debated What was prudent to be done: Quoth his friend, "The hazard run!" " If my judgment can be trusted, AVcd her first; you can't be worttcd ; If she's rich, you'll ris« to fame, II she's poor, why, you're the same." Ho consented to be married ; .All three iii a ooach weru carried To a church v ithout delay. Where tho lady had her way. Though sweotprclty cupids hovered Round her eyea. her face waa covered With a mask ; he took her thus, E'en " for better or for worse." The ballad states that the pair wont after wards in tho lady's own coach to her elegant mansion, where, leaving the bride groom in a parlour, she retired to dress in her finest attiro, and then darted upon his vision as his young, beautiful, and devoted wife. "Now hn's clotbed in 'ich attiro, Not inferior to a so,uiro; Beauty, honour, riches, store; What can husband wish for more ?" IN THE WOODS. (Translated from the German of Marie FoiiSTRIi.) Deep in tlio woo Is, in the twilight, preen. There rings and trills a wondrous song; 'Tis the birds who sing for themselves alone, The whole year long. Deep in tho wood?, in the twilight green, The moss is tinned with purple glow. And the lov»ly flower" for themselves a'ono Unheeded blow. Oh. woodlands fair! Oh, twilight green ! Your lonnlinem raj- heart must own. Iso moro will I live, no more will sing For self: alone. Thou, Life, through all the golden dream In to c and sorrow, in toil and strife, A man to he.

TAWHIAO IN LONDON.

The New Order Of Thing*.1)

[FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT ]

SiNCEthe Colonial Office assumed a fraternal care oi Tawhiao and his chief-, and ap pointed Mr Fulton and thoKev. Mr Spencer to load them in the way they should go, it has been by no means easy to obtain full in formation as to their doing*. Mr Spencer now '' bosses " the party supremely. About 10 o'clock in the morning he drives up in a carriage to Dometer House, und whiskn them off on some excursion. At night they are brought back again. No one knows whore they've been nor what they've done, as Skid moro lias been gracolessly voted an unnecessary appendage, and is left at home to groan, and (I fear) curse solus. Miss Weale, the Leicester lady who has always shown such an interest in the Maori raco, came to town on Tuesday, and has taken up her abode in Montague Place, immediately opposite Dometer House She has prayers with Tawhiao and his chiefs every morning at nine.and whonever they happen to go over to ace her during the day. At first old Hori nnd Topia used to pay her frequent visit?, but finding that her prayers were seldom suppla monted by more substantial refreshment", they grew weary of welldoing, nnd now sneak out of Demcter Ilouao the back way. Totell tho truth,l doubt whetherany of the Maoris are i;reatly enamoured of the new order sf tilings. All their little dtlassemeuls have been ruthlessly nipped in the bud. Tawhiao can no longer bask amidst the smiles of tho hottris of tho Alhambra, and if tho wily Te Tula stays out after mid night, he is called soverely to account in tho morning. Tha King's friendship for his tailor lias nl?o been quietly "squelched," and all find it extremely difficult to mistake champagne fo.gingeralt^vhen Mr Spencer is by. The Good Templars have mado a dead sot at the natives, and are hoping shortly to complete the process of initiation com menced at South Place Chapel sevtrul d«ys ago. So far, howover, they have n>t me ceoded. The truth is, Mrs S. Btry, tho chatelaine at Demetor House, disapproves the whole proceedings, and thwarts them whenever possible, fcsho has loarnt enough of the Maoris during their slay with her to be aware that it is worse than folly to force solemn temperance oaths upon them. Thoy have literally no comprehension of the serious naturo of the obligations, and mako or break them with equal facility. The other night about 7 o'clock, just as tho Maoris woro prepariug for a festive evening at the Theatro, Spencer arrived and announced his intention of carrying them off to a temperance meeting. For tunatoly, Mrs St. Bury was equal to the oc casion. She whispered a word in Major To Wheoro's ears, and the latter forthwith de clared they were all vory tired and going to bed. Tawhiao went upstairs firßt, and tho others followed one by one. Spencer read prayers and left. No soonor had ho gone than Te Tulii and Skidmore tumbled out of bed again, and departed in a four-wheeled cab for the Olympic Theatro, whore they saw a now comedy called "The Twins " and had a very recherche champagne suppor with tho lessee, Mrs Conovor. On another occasion a deputation of Good Templars was shown suddenly into tho drawing-room at Demeter Houpe ftt 10 o'clock in tho morning. Mrs St. Bury was thero with two Fronch friends, the three

ladies being somewhat occentrically on gaged singing and dancing on their peiaaoirs. The former, genuinely enroled at being caught in a state of deshaiille, gave the unfortunate water drinkers (mostly small tradesmen from Finsbury) such a lecture on their bad manners in bursting into a lady's boudoir without knocking that they wero glad to murmur incoherent apologies, and quit the house instanter. On Wednesday, the 6th, Tawhiao and his chiefs—except Major Te Wheoro and Skid more—drove down to Woolwich, and after lunching with the officers of tho Royal Artillery were shownthewondorßof thoworld famous Dockyard and Arsenal. Tawhiao was greatly impressed with tho big gunsand shell.", and described them graphically to Te Wheoro, who —by the way was left be hind through no fault of tim own, but simply becauso tho autocratic Spencer declined to keep tho carriage waiting whilst ho changed his coat. On Thursday the Maori* received nn invitation to lunch with tho Lord Mayor, but the poor old King complained that his bones wero aching,and went to bed instead. The rest set out at the proper time. Thoy met Kerry Nicholls at the Mansion House. He was aghast when he found Tawliiao had not come, and wont back to fetch him. Tho unfortunate monarch was routed out of bed, and conveyed in a cab to the scene of action, where he arrived too late for lunch, but in time to thank tho Lord Mayor for his kind hospitality. The only guests present on this occasion besides the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress were the Burgomaster of Brussels, Sir John Gorrie, th» Rev. J. S. Moffat, missionary from Basuto-lnnd, Mr Spencer, Mr Kerry Nicholl.«, and Mr Chesson. The Lord Mayor, in tho course of a short speech, said he regrottod not having been able to accompany the Maoris' deputa tion to the Colonial Office, but business en gagements hud prevented him. He was, however, glad to hear that MrGorst had put tho case forcibly to Lord Derby. For his part, he considered the Treaty of Waitangi solemnly binding on the Colonial Govern ment, and he hoped the expression of opinion in this country would carry weight in New Zealand. On the Bth Mr Spencer arrived at Demoter House early, to take the Maoris to see tho Tower of London. They nil went save the Major, who openly told Mrs St. Bury that he was not going to be pulled about here, there, and everywhere without his wishes being consulted, and should stay at home. The Maoris did not care much for the Tower. The men-in armour interested them, and so did the beef-eater«, but they were in a great hurry to get back to Mon tague Place, as Mrs Conover, the charming lessee of the Olympic Theatre, was ooming to lunch. That afternoon Spencer took Te Tuhi, Hori, Topia and the Major to a tea-fight at a brother clergyman's house. There were a number of ladies present, and all the usual concomitants of a nourishing mother's meet ing. The reverend host gave a long ac count of the good works of the missionaries in Maori-land, and said he hoped thoy were not losing '.heir effect. He called upon some of their Maori brethren present to testify to what they had witnessed. The

Major sat obstinately silent, ao old Patara Te Tuhi, the King's Secretary, got up and smiled around on tho fair sex. He started by saluting his host and all '.' the beautiful ladies present." This caused a titter to permeate the petticoats, but it died away when Patara in eolcmn tones said he well remembered how those holy men of God, the missionaries, had come to the Maoris and taught them to turn up their eyes to Heaven and pray. At first he and his brethren used to worship con tinually, but presently they found that whilst they turned up their eyes to Heaven tho missionaries allowed theira to alight upon the Maoris' land, and when the pruyers were over tho land was gone. Spencer turned all colours as he inter preted these observations, but no one could help laughing. Patara Te Tuhi will not, 1 anticipate, be asked to testify to the worth of missionaries again. In the course of his occasional perambu lations at night in tho neighbourhood of the Strand and Haymarket, Te Tuhi has man aged to pick up two or three common English pliraaes. Of one of them, "Good night, ducky," he is especially proud, and, despite remonstrance, insists on using it to all sorts and conditions of females. L*uly Bra?sey, I can well imagine, looked rather grave when addressed in this familiar strain, but a single gliince at the smiling faco of the guileless old humbug disarmed suspicion.

On tho morning of the sth the Maoris paid a call on Sir F. D. Bell at Victoria Chambers, but nothing of any political importance transpired. On Saturday last tho Maori? paid a visit to Mr Grace at Rickmansworth. Patara returned to town the came evening, but the King stayed all night. Mrs Grace was very glad to see Tawhiao, and they had quite along talk together. On Sunday all except tho King and Topia went to dine with Mrs Co:iover, tho aclrosg and lessee of the Olympic Theatre. Mrs C. is not a very strict Sabbatarian, and I believe the party spent a rather festive afternoon. Mr Spencer was, happily, away attending to his clerical duties. On Monday, at tlie instance of their temperance friends, the Maoris were photo graphed in Good Templar aud Blue Ribbon regalia. The beet likenesses of them taken in England are, however, by Maya.ll, the Bond-street photographer, who did them one evening by electric light.

The Return of the Natives.

Tawhiao is getting very homesick, and cries out continually for the ministrations of his favourite wife. Mrs St. Bury, though very kind and thoughtful, cannot quite fill the void in the lloyal heart. It has therefore been pretty well decided that the Maoris shall return by the Orient liner Potosi, sailing on Wednesday uext. They were very comfortable in the Soratu, and desire to again patronise the same line. Since the Colonial Offics appointed Mr Fulton to look after the Maoris, all their expenses, save bare board and lodging, have been defrayed by the Government.

Tho Grand Principle of tliow Hamburg Draw ings is that a jmrcliuscr of 25 IVliogrammra is guaranteed a Prize, and tbo chances are in favour of the investor drawing a liirge prize, an there nro 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To an investor of £2 tbo chances ajo only li to 1 against him drawing a Prize, and Clio Hen< Prize or any other may bo drawn by an investor of 10s.

Hut carefully note some of tho Horso COTwnlta tionson tho Melbourne Cup. advertising 20,000 members at 10s each, e<imil to about £10,000. The Cup givois 133 nominations, so that thesdds are over 150 to 1 ngainfltui investor riruwiaqra horsi. Now take tho Cash l'riwa drawn at tho same timo, and calculate the odds; you will tlnd in each of the Cash awards that the odds vary from 200 to .'i.OOO to 1 against an investor drawing a Cash Prize. Tho whole2o,ooomarbles are advertisid to be replaced for each Drawing of the Ciißh Prizes, which gives the enormous odd* against investors'. The Company would simply ask investors tocalculatn tbc odds before placing their investments in any horso con ul tation ; und Ibo Company would not presumo to tell the public that they bavo a number of chanics, and can win a number of prizes fora dingle investment "f 10s.
