DULL TIMES IN THE STooK MARKET. There
is an apathy in the stock market just now
which evokes the complaint from many
brokers that they don't receive ''orders"
enough to pay Office rent. Speculation is
concentrated in gold and government bonds,
while the stock gambling cliques are suffered
to carry their ''loads." Is 1t not a little
curious that this dulness should come just at
the time Of the expulsion Of Eriep Fortunes
have been made and fortunes lost in this
stock. II used to be the focus and life Of the
Exchange. Is IL to go into oblivion with
Mariposa and "Prairie Dog?"

PRACTICAL RECONSTRUCTION LAST years
cotton crop of Georgia is estimated in value
at forty millions of dollars, and it was not .
favorable season. No wonder the cotton lands
Of the State have run up in price some fifty,
some one hundred and some two hundred and
even three hundred per cent. At this rate
before the expiration Of President Grants
term of Office the wealth and prosperity Of our
Southern States will be the wonder Of the
world. .;s,.

THE DARIEN CANAL MIssIoN.-Hon. Caleb
Gushing has returned from Bogota with what
he would term "a fixed fact'-a treaty with
the government Of Colombia for the protection
Of the enterprise Of cutting the Darien ship
canal. 1t seems from the Dews we publish
elsewhere to-day that Louis Napoleon is not
behindhand in grasping this great idea OF the
age, and has concluded treaty also, by
which stipulations are entered into with Mica
ragua for the construction of ship canal
across her territory between the two oceans.
Certain enterprising Yankees have also come
into the field and made treaty on their own
account with Costa Rica to build railroad
within that republic between the Caribbean
sea and the Pacific, and John Bull is stirring
in the Honduras interoceanic railroad scheme.
In fact, from the news to-day there seems to
be general waking up to attack the Ameri-
can isthmus and inaugurate a new era in
isthmus transit affairs.

In Paris O. well - in New York mild
winter has lessened the opportunities Of fash
ionable display longed for by members Of
skating clubs. But the Paris fashions letter
which we publish to-day gives lively ac-
count of the eagerness with which the skaters
and skateresses of the Imperial Court seized
the opportunity afforded in the latter days and
nights Of January by eight degrees below zero
to glide and flourish over the pond at Madrid,
the reserved part Of the Bois de Bologne, to
improvise q miniature skating festival on tho
lake near Lucerne and to ENJOY grand torch
light celebration on ice. On these occasions
every variety of appropriate costume was ex-
hibited. There were dark green toilets, re-
minding one of pine forests in Switzerland;
robes of light gray cloth and satin, elegantly
looped to show q great deal Of ankle, and
trimmed with otter; Polish velvets, Siberian
furs and Hungarian kolbacks garnet velvet
and satin, with toque muf and boa of blue fox
fur (the costume worn by an American belle);
piles of fleece; coverlets of leopard's skim
and glacier blue with crystal ornaments. II

have chance to rival at the Park this Paris
exhibition of winter 6nery.
The letter which describes it during three
days Of eight degrees below zero describes
also the tG6leaur 0ivGns at the parties Of
Madame de vignale, whose s'artistic and art
propagating idea is ''to act not events, but
pictures in tableaus," and to convert the
museums into fashion plates. The artists,
with their sense of beauty, might certainly
offer finer patterns than the men milliners who
have hitherto dictated the styles, putting ON
buttons where buttons can be of no imaginable
use, and otherwise exciting the ire of Madame
Cave. This lady, the author of an admirable
''System Of Drawing" complains of these men
milliners, whom she holds responsible for
most of the inutilities and ugliness of prevail
ing feminine toilets. She wisely recommends
that girls should be taught the art Of drawing
if only to qualify them for inaugurating desir-
able reforms in this direction. Meanwhile
much might be said in favor of copying toilets
from the fine old pictures of the masters. Our
Paris correspondent minutely describes the
toilet worn at the opening of the legislative
session by the Princess dEssling, Grand
Mistress Of the Robes for the Empress. 1t
was copied from a portrait at Versailles. The
toilets of Princess Mathilde, of the young
Duchess d'Alba and Mile. Marion, on the
same occasion, and the bridal dress Of Mile.
La Bedozere, on the day when she became
Princess de la Moskowa, are also photographed
for the benefit Of our fair students of the latest
Paris fashions. 1t may not be easy for them
all to secure lace Of the sixteenth century; but
in most other respects there is no reason why
they should not improve upon these fashions.

SpAIN-A REGENCY SUGGESTED. BY our
last nights advices from Madrid it appears
that the project of Directory for number Of
years has been abandoned, and that Regency
has been suggested. Why Regency, and
over whom? Are the Bourbons behind the
Cortes after all? Or is IL Napoleon? Or are the
Cortes so embarrassed that they know not
what to do? There may be yet a general
European war fermenting in this Spanish re-
volution; but it cannot be long before we
have some important developments at Madrid.

THE PARK.-The park, so-called, around
the City Hall ought to be improved out Of
existence. In the ancient days Of the city
that scrap Of the Bayard farm was nice place
for the burghers to lounge in the shade Of a
summers day--and IL was not an unpleasant
thing when the active life Of the metropolis
was mostly within sound Of the music ION
Scudders balcony" But those days are gone,
and the park Is left like scar in the changes.
The burghers take the sun and the shade in
the Central now. Let the old rotten trees be
cut down, the vagabond resort around the
fountain be broken up, and make Of the park
broad, fine plaza like the Place de la Conc orde
In Paris.

by all means, the disposition Of the members
to keep their faces clean. We would consent
to add fourteen hundred dollars for copies Of
some plain manual on good behavior-some-
thing simpler and on more obvious shortcom-
ings than Chesterfields letters.

How TO RESTORE SPECIE PAYvryrs.-
There are but two ways to restore specie paw
ments, and all the palaver in Congress upop
the subject may be reduced to this proposition
Specie payments must either be forced by
reduction Of the circulation or we must grow
up to that state Of things by natural course
by the growth OF the country in population,
trade and wealth. There is no middle course.
The first would paralyze business, arrest the
progress Of the country, bankrupt every debtor
and bring univefss.. distress. The second would
carry us on insensibly to specie basis with
out shock to trade or = disturbance Of values
for in few years the p ,pulation and business
Of the country will be SO increased az to make
the present volume Of cur. -ency barely equal Y

Read our Washington report of the speech
of General Grant yesterday to the com
mittee OF Congress informing him Of his
promotion to the White House. 1t is short
speech, but full of matter as an egg is OF
meat He pronounces in favor OF honesty,
economy and retrenchment. Good. He will
cast about him for honest assistants, and II
they prove unsatisfactory he will not hesitate
q moment in appointing other men In
their places. Excellent. He had intended,
on being informed officially of his cleo
tion, to make some announcements OF his
Cabinet; but he had since concluded to
keep his own counsels till his Cabinet selec-
tions are sent to the Senate. All right. He
thinks that if he'were to make them known
beforehand there would be some squabbnng
between the friends of this man, that man and
the other man to have new deal. Very
good, General. Mr.. Dana and other Cabinet
makers can now 60 ahead again. Mr.. Pruyn,
the democratic member of the official COM
mittee, it seems, was the happiest man on the
occasion. He thinks, from General Grants
opening official speech, that all the democracy
may come over to his side, and we shouldn't
wonder if they do. Why not?
A CURIOUS COMBINATION TO KILL OFF
KnPArRIcK.- General Fitzpatrick, United
States Minister to Chile, on furlough, in the
late Presidential campaign stumped the Fifth
Congressional district of Massachusetts, to kill
off General Butler, said Butler being pro-
nounced by the radical managers hereto on
the money question. General Fitzpatrick also,
in the late Presidential campaign, stumped
New Jersey and the country generally to kill
off Seymour, Blair and Andy johnson. What
has followed2 First, General Butler brings
into Congress proposition to kill off Fitzpatrick
by merging the Chilean mission in general
mission to the South American republics,
but the proposition sticks in the Senate.
Secondly, Andy Johnson, to kill off Fitzpatrick,
nominates General Lewis Dent, brother. in
law of General Grant, to the Chilean mission,
q nomination which has somewhat surprised
Dent, and which will most probably be snub
bed in the Senate. Ergo, the combination of
Ben Butler and Andy Johnson to kill off Kill
patrick may be pronounced failure, although
Fitzpatrick, as politician and diplomat, may be
pronounced humbug.

DI.UggiHg Of Horses.

Flrmcrs and teamster5 in many parts
of the United States are, unfortunately ,
following the evil example ot their Eng
lish brethren in giving the animals ur-
der their charge frequent doses of vari-
Gus sorts of medicine. 1t is poured down
in season and out of season whether
the horse Is well or aiiiIg without any
knowled d"e either OF til state uf the AM

all aware that his horses are thus igno-
rantly tampered with. 1t is sad to think
of the rubbish which the poor horse is
thus compelled to swallow. Amongst the
t;,vorite articles exhibited are dragon
blood, black antimony, sulphur-and
the blacker it is the more it is thought OF
spices and condiments of all kinds,
and innumcrablc unsavory connections of
things animate and inanimate, hurttul
