In the HERALD of to-day we give accounts
of the grand meteoric display, as Witnessed all
over this Continent on the evening OF tho 18Th
and morning OF the iith inst SO far AZ
details have reached us-and we have &C
counts from almost every State in the Union
the display seems 10 have been On scale OF
'nassi:"ccs quite as grand as that Of the COR
responding period of last year. Our saoans
nave again been at fault. The meteoric
shower was not wholly unexpected; but it
was confidently predicted that it would be seen
only in the Pacific Ocean and would not he
visible until an advanced hour of the morning.
1t is undeniable that in this particular
department modern science is sadly behind
These material phenomena are not new. They
have been witnessed at irregular intervals
from the very earliest times. In the ages Of
darkness and superstition they were not un-
naturally looked upon as special indications Of
the, pleasure or displeasure of the gods We
have got beyond this belief but what these
brilliant visitants are, to what cause or causes
we are to attribute their appearance we are as
much in darkness as ever. II is now grow
ing conviction with many that at this particu-
lor season of the year they have, circun-
stances being favorable, been visible from
the very earliest times. This, however, is 4
point which we are willing as yet to leave
to the learned in meteorological phenomena.
This much, at least, it is now safe to say--that
the time has come when the whole subject
should be fully discussed and when the
wits of the wisest should be taxed to answer
the following and kindred questions First
What are these falling or shooting stars, as we
call them? Second-Do we come into contact
with them after the intervals of long ages3 or
might they not be seen at all times if only we
occupied favorable point Of observationf
Third-What connection has their visible
manifestation with terrestrial aud atmospheric
disturbances? or have they any such connes-

The Cuban Fiiihustcrs.

There is an active Cuban filibustering organi-
cation in this city, largely made up of dis
banded soldiers from our late civil war, ready
for any military enterprise promising good pay
and fat pickings. But there must he some
money in the movement, and, assuming that
the leaders have men of means to back them
up, the question still recurs how they expect
to be reimbursed for their OUTLAWS The plan
of operations is, first to secure the independ-
ence of Cuba, and, secondly, annexation to the
United States. OF course with the annexa-
ton slavery would he abolished, for our fede-
raj constitution as it is" says that "neitber
slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist
in the United States, nor within their jurisdic-
ton, save in the punishment Of crimes &c.
But in the government Of Cuba first as
republic, and next in the work Of transferring
the island, and next in its government as
State of the Union, the leading filbusters no
doubt expect to be handsomely rewarded,
while it is probable that many of the island
sugar and tobacco planters and manufacturers
are ready to give up their slaves for the advan-
tages of free trade and full political and sociel
communion with the United States. There is
something. too, so extortionate in the Spanish
taxation of Cuba that q transfer to our Custom
House and internal revenue taxes would be q
grea. relief. These Cuban filibusters, then,
have something TO build upon, and so they
will be apt to go ahead

A hundred millions of dollars year are
stolen from the government. The revenue is
defrauded of an amount more than sufficient to
pay the current expenses of the government, If
economically administered, and more than the
government ever cost before the late war.
This fact is as undeniable ~ it is startling.
Who will not say, then, that we have the most
inefficient and corrupt government on the face
of the earth? Probably there is no parallel to
it in history. But what is worse and more
astounding still is that these stupendous frauds
cannot be reached and the criminals punished
So powerful is the combination known as the
''whiskey ring" and such enormous wealth has
it with which to defeat Investigation and the
ends Of Justice that all efforts to probe the evil
| have failed. We saw how Buckley failed, and
now we see that Judge Fullerton and others,
honest and talented men, are badgered, ham
pered and paralyzed in the same cause. The
| President himself seems to be powerless. The
truth is, the heads of the Treasury and Inter
nal Revenue Departments and even the men,
bers of the Cabinet are either directly con-
cerned in the frauds or have powerful
and intimate friends who are. To
screen themselves or these friends they throw
obstacles in the way of investigation. II is a
curious fact, too, that Immediately move
ment is made by the Executive to probe these
| frauds the Congressional Investigating Com
mittee steps in and, under the pretence Of aid
| ing inquiry, actually defeats it. Mr.. Van
| Wyck pretcnds to be the head and most
| active member Of that committee, and If any
body could find out the frauds he ought, for
he has q number of relatives of the Van Wyck
family holding prominent Offices 10 this city In

Oar Paris Fashions Letter.

Our Paris fashions letter, which is to-day
as sparkling as it always has been, startles
us by the announcement OF two events Of no
small interest and importance. The first il
the PRONUNCIATION by the Emperor of all the
Russias of ulIase prohibiting the entrance
of Paris fashion journals into any part OF
his vast empire. 'Russian ladies are not to
be taught about panniers nor to be told that
tnc.v wear their evening bodices much lower
than Harlsian danes. Polish ladies are
strictly forbidden also TO wear toquets; and this
is all enforced" adds our correspondent, ''by
the same Emperor who was quite enraptnred
when here by the Grand Duchess, toquet and
aigrettes and all!' Our correspondent,
allowing that some Of the fashions in the
advanced capital of the French empire are
"absurd, overdone, ruinous, suicidal, and SO
on, is, nevertheless, Of opinion that sthis cru
SADIE against fashion journals win but give
them greater prestige and, moreover, put a
stop to many of the very curious questions
and answers which now appear in those jour-
nails. Some Of these questions, futile as they
may seem, are such as no young lady can
know without being told--for instance, the
question as to whether there is any parti-
cular shape for a priests shirt distinct from
other shirts" To what lamcntable state of
denim his fair subjects!
The second event is meeting lately held at
Stuttgart at which motion was voted insist
ing ON the necessity of modifying the toilets Of
ladies. $50 far, so good" says our CORE
spondent; II approve that Paris should not
lay down the law exclusively but a committee
was organized at the close of the German
meeting, composed of painters, doctors and
scientific tailors, who are henceforth to set the
styles, after deliberation. If I were husband
this new system would alarm me extremely.
The getting up of ones wife by painter is
surely as Objectionable as the turning out of
ones wife by milliner, and the chalking over
of ones wife by q tailor cannot be more agreea-
throwing fashion into anarchy. The slash
ionabe constitution OF women" il in danger,
and our American ladies are advised in the
midst of these revolutionary movements to
remain neutral, like France in regard to Spain
We must refer our lady readers to our Paris
fashions letter for detailed description of the
most unique among the latest toilets-a morn
ing robe, an elegant evening costume without
train Ito be worn by a lady invited to the
second series of invitations to the chateau at
COMPETENCY, hunting costume for huntress
who does not hunt, the new plain and pretty
costumes, with Syrian hats Qior one of which
an American lady is responsibility; new
flower star for the forehead and the very
newest and very tasteful fashion, set at the
first performance Of the ''Perichole, of shay
ing buttons and jewelry of the same shade as
ribbon sashes, worn behind" The s'Peri-
chole, by the bye, is, we are told, no less sue
cessful at the Varieties than the ''Grande
Duchesse," and it will probably be equally sue
cessful when brought out in New York at
Fisks splendid Opera House.

The first great period of the worlds com
mcrcial history ended when Vasco de Cana
doubled the Cape of Good in l49S. Previous
to this date the trade of India with Europe
amounted 10 4 few thousands of tons annually.
which trade found its way at an immense cost
Of time and labor across the Persian empire,
Asiaiic Turkey and Arabia. These countries
then stood between the two commercial ter
| mini OF the world--lnda and the Mcditerra-
mean. India then, already old and stagnant,
scarcely fell the touch Of this traffic. Light as
| il was, however, it gave civilization to the
| Mediterranean shores. Tyre became to the
| great inland sea what San Francisco is now to
| the Pacific Ocean. The new trade gave
wonderful impulse and was pregnant with opu-
| lent cities which il scattered broadcast over
| the Persian empire. The wealth that was
| poured into Syria produced an extraordinary
| advancement in the arts, sciences and civili-
! cation. II built up the famed Jerusalem and
| gave il such wealth and architectural splendor
| that the tide Of war surged around its walls in
more sieges than ever fell TO the lot Of any
other city in history. AS the trade developed
| itself Alexandria sprang in greatness and
! extended its civilization to Greece. Rome,
/ Carthage. and then Venice felt its impulse, and
| in turn dictated to the world.
The Mediterranean commercial cities were in
their full tide Of splendor at the end of thc
fifteenth century. They had received theii
civilization, their religion, their arts and sci
ences from the interchange of products. These
