POLAND BLoTTED OUT.-A Warsaw letter in
the .>ieCle says - Russia Is not now satisfied
with abOlishing the title of Kingdom Of Po-
land, but appears 10 wish to suppress the very
name of Poles. For some time past certain
Russian journals speak OF that population u
LechItes. They have found this name in some
old chronicles, on which basis they have con-
structed quite new historical theory, aud
which may be summarized as follows - The
Leehites, who Were a foreign tribe, subdued
the Sclaves innaSiting the country between the
Oder. Dnieper. Baltic. and Carpathians; re-
duced them TO the state OF serfs, and under the
name OF Poles oppressed them during many
centuries, committing every crime, until the
Russians delivered the suffering Sclave popu-
lations from their yoke
Abiding to the rumors about Prince Nspo-
Icons visit 10 Berlin, the Goios says that Aus
tria may have good reasons 10 sever Prussia
from Russia; but that the Austrian statesmen
are under a great delusicn IN supposing that
the phantom of Panslavism wiz induce Prus-
STA 10 re-establish Poland ana cede the port Of

CHICAGO CAsE.-A few days ago a young
woman in Chicago was set upon and badly in
lured by woman whose identity was not at
nrst known. A few days after, a Mrs. Greer
was arrested, charged with the assault Ii ap-
peared, on examination, that the two women
loved the same man, and the latter, a widow,
as alleged, took this method Of reveLge. The
Chicago Times, in commenting on the affair,
says: "Hitherto, when a Chicago woman felt
in sportive mood, she went out and killed a
man. Now, this belligerent sex has fallen into
an internecine war: and its mem bers seem bent
on mutual determination. The men OF Cnics-
go will witness this new phase of the feminine
desire for slaughter with astonishment; but
they will also look upon IL with a complacency
whose extent is proportionate to the amount TO
which IL gives them immunity from beng
made the target of six-shooters held by lovely
women. We shall feel the profeu ndest COM
misseraiion for those who fall IN the struggle:
but with an immeasurable gratitude, will we
thank the destiny which has directed wo-
mans thunderbolts from our own bosoms"

The New Fashions.

There have been some changes IN the toilet
administra ton this spring, and bonnets-those
maryels of the milliner's art--have shrunk 10
such degree that the q ueen OF Liiput would
have some trouble in trying one on her head.
Yet the mod istes have endeavored 70 effect a
compromise by making the trimming Of one OF
those "fearfully and wonderfully made arti-
Giles as extensive as possible. The back Of the
head and the neck are now sheltered by a lace
veil instead of the time honoTed cape. and a
coronet bridges the bump Of benevolence an
front of the bonnet. The fanchon may BE- con-
sidered the General Grant of bOnnets in point
OF popularity, and poor Mare Antoinette,
whose head sat uneaslly her shoulders
during the dark days of the san culottss, until
IL fell at last victim TO their fury.
has now a namesake nesting amid
the curls OF our most dIsungnees
bellies. In the matter of cloaks the modistes
deserve a unanimous vote of thanks for the
handsome styles they have brought out this
spring. Last year a lady carried on her back
bushel load OF jet and beads, which had q
disagreeable HABIT OF fastening themselves in
everything. ana the cloaks looked for the world
like propositions IN Euclid worked out In silk
and passementerle. Now the ladies have
charming little sacks, basquInes and paletots,
with surplice or mantilla fronts, lapels like
those on n gentlemans frock coat, trimming Of
elk, satin and lace, and a coquettish sash tied
behind. Since the spring weather our thor
oughfares have again become fit for pedestrians.
Broadway aud Fifth avenue are constantly
dotted with those exquisite cloaks, and the ends
Of the sashes flutteT in the April breeze like
flags and streamers on the shipping on a na-
uonal fest!yal.-.N. 4. Herald

THE REPORTED MURDER IN TIE CHEsA-
PEAkE BAY.-The Somerset MD Herald of
saturday last contains the following IN rals-
ton 10 the tragedy heretofore referred TO On
the 3Hh ult the schooner Bray Captain John
son (whom we believe was a native of Dor
chester,) was seen at Shark Point. Somerset
county, with all the crew on board. The
Braye was next discovered by one Captain
Todd on a bar in Cages Straits, with mainsaiI
and Jib boosted. Captain Todd, having some
curiosity about the matter, went on board of
her. Imagine his feelings when he beheld
quantities of blood all over the deck and cabin
with all The secret recesses of the latter broken
open and robbed Of its valuables. No one could
be found on the boat and n is supposed that
Captain johnson and Mr.. Pritchett, the only
white men on board, were murdered and
thrown overheard by four negro men who were
employed on the schooner. Four negroes
landed al Hollands Island on "Wednesday and
II is thought that this was the same crew that
was on the Brave. The four negroes Were
carried from Hollands Island 10 Accomac
county, Virginia, and il is supposed they will
endeavor 10 make their way up the Peninsula
They took over $500 from the Captain.
