Tho Summer Fashions.

Now that all the n.odistes have had their
formal opening displays of spring and summer
fashions, and the ladies may ponder at their
leisure over the latest whims of their tickle
deity, it is interesting to watch the varying
expression of each fair countenance as the I'M
alterable decree of ''what to wear and how to
wear it, is promulgated. The Dolly Warden
style, which seems to prevail in every depart
ment of a lady's toilet, is probably the most
irreconcilnble affair that ever was suggested
to the taste OF an American belle. Some of the
patterns of this o,tre fashion are more sug-
gestive of Japanese landscape or an old
fashioned chintz bed curtain than anything
else. A lady must be possessed of no ordinary
share of courage to wear one of these costumes
in public 1t is q sad commentary on female
taste. Another innovation which deserves
severe apprehension is the substitution of trail
ing street dresses for the comfortable, becom-
ing, short-skirted costumes which have so long
held sway Convenience and taste should be
inseparable, and certainly neither are present
when one sees yard or so of silk sweeping
over filthy sidewalks. With these two ex-
ceptions the fashions for the summer present
variety and charm enough to recommend them
to the attention and appreciation of every one.
The rage for opera which has taken possession
of the New York public has led the modistes
into giving each new style the name of some
prominent star or role of the lyric stage. The
Nilsson "Parepa-Rosa. Lucia" ''Tra-
viata,' 'NIarguerite,' Donna and Ger
lima" have been for some time in vogue in
dresses and bonnets, and now we hear Of the
''Lucca" polonaise, the 'Di Murska'' over
dress, the kellogg" bonnet and the cara
bella waist The close of the opera season
seems to dispense with the last of the evening
dresses, and as the rapid approach of genuine
summer weather dispels all thoughts of gas
light receptions we may now prepare for a
grand display of street fashions every Sunday
on the avenue, and still more brilliant APP
pearance in few weeks at the races at Jerome
Park. There will the art of the nodiste culmi-
nate in presenting to the American Jockey
Club such constellation of beauty in gor-
geOus costume as will deck the beautiful
grounds of Fordham with oil that taste and
wealth can suggest. The progress made in
American fashions for year past is crafty |
ing indication of the independent spirit of |
our fair bellies. 1t is spirit which should be
fostered and encouraged

THE NATIONAL GAME.
The Boston Nine vs.. Baltimore Club
First Contest for the Championship.

The Boston Nine VS.. Baltimore Club
First Contest for the Cha mpionship.
BALTIMORE, May 2, 1872.
The most exciting game OF base ball ever wit
messed in this city took place this afternoon at
Newington Park, between the Boston Nine and
Baltimore Club
The first two innings resulted in blank score
for both clubs. On the fourth the Bostons made
three runs, which they increased by two, one each
in the fifth and eighth innings In the first,
second third sixth, seventh and ninth they
were treated to round 30" by their opponents.
The BaltimorcS made one run In the third In
nings two in the fourth and one in the NINTH re-
ceivng as many blanks In their turn as the Boston
boys.
The game was beautifully played throughout, the
scores recording but two errors one or eacl OIL the
clubs. All the runs were earned. The attendance
very large and enthusiastic. The ladies' gallery
and outside OF the enclosure the thrOng was I'M
mense. The roofs or the adjacent houses were
crowded with spectators and imprOvsed platforms
In the shape OF wagons filed with empty barrels
were drawn up by the side OF the fences. These
portable galleries were hired out by spectators foe
ten cents a seat.
Some dissatisfaction was expressed at the deci-
sions OF the umpire, Mr.. A. y. Robertson, of the
Olympics, OF Washington many thinking that he
was prejudiced against the Baltimore club APP

than patriotism or desire for the public good
Possibly there may be n few disinterested men
among the Seventy, but many of them have
been working with the expectation of appoint
ments or jobs. Then at the bottom of the
movement, and particularly with the rampant
partisan press which aided it. there was
political object. The crash of the democratic
dynasty of Tweed and his compeers was so
great that the republicans INDUCED the hope
of changing the political character of the
city, and framed the charter to that end
We see now the consequence of all this clatter
and pretence. The so-called reformers have
utterly failed. The reform charter is such
monstrosity that the very Legislature which
was constrained to pass it has repudiated it
with something like disgust. The Ithuriel
spear OF Governor Hoffman has shown its de-
formity. The city is left in n chaotic state,
the public works are kept merely in an organ
lied condition and in uncertainty the several
departments are in sort of paralysis, the
streets are abominably flthy-which, as the
hot weather is approaching, may bring upon
our people cholera or some other fearful dis
tinued Reorganization or misrule. II this be
reform we have had enough of it and want no
more. The best course now is for the SIEVE nty
and all other amateur charter makers to retire
to obscnrity, and, as our legislators are only
apprentices, lot them ask the Governor to
frame charter. He is an able man and
knows well what the city of New York wants
This is the best advice we can give at present,
and we see no better way of escaping from our
difficulties
A charter was introduced into the Assembly
yesterday of which we have as yet only
the leading points It does not propose to
differ radically from the charter of 1870, so far
as we know, but demands an election for Mayor
and Aldermen on the last day of this month
1t merges some OF tho minor departments in
others, as the Street Cleaning Commission in
the Board of Health, and these again in the
Police Commissioners, with the addition of
the Mayor. The Department of Buildings is
merged in that of Public Works The Mayor
is to enter on his duties on the LIST of
July, and to hold Office for two years.
All the heads of departments are to be
appointed by the Mayor. With the curious
exception of the Comptroller, they are to go
out of office. An attempt is to be made to
rush this compromise through. We have had
SO much Of theories and experiments perhaps
will propose to give charter,
direct, solid and lasting.

certs9 They have ears, and they can
not escape his cacophany. 1t will roll
above the startled town like the thun-
der OF vesuvius on affrighted Naples. 1t
will spoil the sermons and sour the milk. The
poet will find that his lines halt and his rhymes
are false Even the sophomores up at Cam
bridge pacing the studious clustered arcade,
will hear the giant echoes sounding above
them and cast aside their text books in
despair and rage. In dread of calamities less
appalling than this communities have erewhile
gathered their household gods and gone forth
to seek new homes in alien lands. Perhaps
before Mr.. Gilmore descends in storms Of
sound on the prone and helpless capital there
may be hegira from her gates, and her citi-
zens may go forth in search Of silence, as the
Israelites went into the desert to enjoy one
another's want of conversation In such case
we entreat Mr. Gilmore not to follow them with
his drums. Let him rather mediate seriously
upon the great noise (and error of his ways,
and forthwith absorb his energies in pro-
tracted and penitential outburst of silence.

and which discoursed some highly crcditable music,
to the evident delight of the audience. Several

Germany and France-Pcncc Assurances

Germany and France-Pcnce Assurances.
On the LIST of May the Count Won Arnim, the
German Ambassador at Versailles, had long
interview with President Theirs. During the
interview the Count conveyed to the President
the most satisfactory assurances of the friendly
sentiments of the government of Emperor
William towards France, and gave fiat con-
tradiction to the statements of the London
Telegraph We are not disposed to credit Won
Arnim and discrcdt the London Telegraph. We
are quite as willing to take the word Of news
paper correspondent as that Of well .~ained
and sldlful diplomatist. The report published
by the Telegraph indicating the probability of
another Franco-German war had, no doubt,
some foundation in fact. Satisfactory cxpla-
nations on both sides may, in the interval,
have been exchanged, and it is very convenient
for the German Ambassador to give the world
the idea that no bad feeling existed between
the two governments. Whatever the facts may
have been, it is gratifying to know that be-
tween the two nations there is no bad feeling,
and that SO long as France continues faithful
to her obligations and punctually pays the war
indemnity nothing will be done by Germany
to disturb the peaceful relations now existing
The assurances of Count Won Arnim will exer-
else healthful influence not on Germany and
France alone, but on all the nations of Europe
The prospect of continued peace will stimulate
trade, because it viii inspire confidence the
wide world over. For another decade at least
Europe needs peace

Livingstone's safety-Tbe Success OF the
Herald Search Expedition Confirmed.
A special telegram from London conveyed to
us yesterday the most gratifying confirmation
OF our first intelligence of the safety of Living
stone, and Of the consequent grand success of
the HERALD search expedition, which was
organized to find the African explorer. The
presence of the chief of our corps in
Ujiji, in company with Livingstone was
made known in Zanzibar by couriers
from the interior of Africa during the
month Of January. English advices from
Bombay were received in London yesterday in
attestation of the grand fact The British
dispatches reported, Livingstone is safe with
the American, Stanley" We append number
Of interesting facts to our special cable adj
vices. II will be seen that the Sultan Of Fan
zibar had faith in the coming result Of our en-
terprise from the beginning, and that although
His Imperial Highness was about to start on a
pilgrimage to Mecca in the early days of January
last, he gave time and attention to assure some
of our countrymen that he expected news of
he HERALD explorer within brief period by
messengers whom he had himself despatched,
with orders to follow in the path Of the Ameri-
can, and thus seek to obtain 'stlefinite intelli-
gence concerning Livingstone" We publish,
also, letter from Livingstone, the contents
of which are interestingly instructive as to
the inner heart character of the great man
who has just been restored to civilization

BACKING Down has not been considered
Characteristic trait of the President. As a
soldier and commander General Grant showed
wonderful persistency and frmness. Has his
character been changed in the high civil Office
he holds? Has the Presidency or ambition Of
second term destroyed his natural firmness
of character and made him q time-serving poll
tician? We are not willing to believe that.
Yet there is an evident disposition to succumb
TO the buster of England on the Alabama
claims question. He is, perhaps, the victim Of
q British ring operating through the State
Department. There is, undoubtedly, an
extraordinary pressure made upon him through
the State Department The Secretary even
may be under this influence without knowing
it. But he has misled the President and is
Illuminating the country In this crisis he
should retire and let more truly national and
vigorous man take his place.
