NEW YORK.

Nav YoRK, November 3.-The Inter
nationals met yesterday. A propose
was made for grand congress Of al
the members in the State. The Presi
dent made a speech, saying they were
undoubtedly on the eve Of some great
movement The greatest revolution that
ever took place on this planet was
about to begin, and il was well they
should be united. They would wrest the
government frow its present holders.
Committees were appointed to memori'
alize the city government. aud to estab-
lish markets aud depots where the work
ing classes could procure the necessa.
ries Of life a, cost prices, and reported
that they recommend the opening Of a
public market in the lower part OF the
city.
The newspapers this morning all take
more cheering view OF the financial
situation and consider the trade prospect
more encouraging than events Of the
last week indicated. The Herald says;
"There is undoubtedly great uncasiness
in manufacturing, commercial and BUSH
ness circles throughout the country, in
consequence of the financial prospect
that has existed for weeks and that still
bears heavily upon industry and trade.
The trouble that weighs upon us now,
and that is operating against manuiac-
turing and other industrial interests of
the republic, is the scarcity Of currency.
II does not appear that the country is
overstocked with goods, or that the state
of our crops aud trade at home and
abroad is not favorable. The only
trouble seems 10 be about currency
about tho means wherewith TO transact
business; yet there has been no actual
contraction, on the contrary the circula-
ting medium has been made larger by
extra issue of greenbacks, through in
creasing the fractional currency and by
new silver coinage and issue. The cur
rency is only needed, and of that there is
actually something more than before the
late disturbance. Let the National
Banks unlock their Golfers and the peo-
pie unite their stockings, and all will be
well.

MR.. cIcALLA's CASE.

II was rumored on the streets Satur-
day afternoon that Alderman Paul
Cicalla, late Acting Mayor, had lately
been drawing rations from the NealiS
Commissiary depot in the name of
widow woman, and taking the same TO
his own house. Yesterday aud to-day S
morning papers contain the charges in
full but the Appeal, which first made
the publication, closes its article to-day
by saying, We desire that Mr. Cicalla
shall have hearing before the public,
and await developments before saying
MORE" Charges of such serious ma
ture demand investigation, and if Mr..
Cicalla does rise to explain" in his
own vindication, the public tribunals
will have something to say about it, and
that soon. Mr.. Jack Halstead and
Major NJ. Nealis, who make the
charges, are gentlemen of probity and
responsibility, and the appearances are
certainly unfavorable to Mr.. Cicalla's
reputation. Yet we cannot see how
man of his standing as an old citizen,
enjoying a good income from a large
estate, and filling an important station
in the city government, would risk his
character and his future prospects for
the paltry amount Of twenty or fifty
dollars worth of rations. Public feeling,
we are aware, is rather high in regard to
the case, and some were so unwise as to
suggest the infection of summary JUS
tiee. OF course our people are law
abiding, and will let this matter go be-
fore the legal tribunals, where both sides
can have an equal hearing. Simple
justice is all that is necessary. Nothing
less would satisfy Mr.. Cicalla or the
naonla

AspeeuIatIve millionaire.

From the New Orleans Tines.l
There is a colored millionaire in this
city who has lodged paying his taxes
until they now amount to nearly $780,.
600, due to the city and the State. He
is character for a romance. He is SO
abstemious that he may be called a mi
sier. He disdains rest and with won.
derful activity works on in small and
obscure one-story house, remote from
the business portion of the city. This
building is his Office and his home. 1t is
dingy and dilapidated on the outside.
Within, kind Of lobby partitioned of
from the main room is the miser Office.
a desk full of pigeon-holes crammed
with papers, an iron safe and chair or
two constitute the only furniture. Be-
yond are the rooms where he lives with
his mother, woman almost hundred
years old Yet this man.. so unpreten-
tious in his business surroundings, has
nearly hundred tenements scattered
all over the city, which bring him any
where from twenty TO three hundred dol
lars each per month.
he owns over 2j0 different properties,
estimated to be worth at least 500, 600
besides bonds and cash TO large
amount. This man, however, never
pays any taxes except when be dispOses
of piece of property, aud then only on
that property. In the Sheri2' Office arc
tax writs against him dating back twelve
years, aud to some Of them are attached
as much az SIX yards Of fo0lscsp illed
throughout with closely written descrip-
tons Of his properties. The reason for
avoiding bis annual taxes is specu-
lstive one. The city charges him ten
per cent. interest, and on his money,
which he never loans except on mort
gage, be can make from eighteen 70
twenty per cent. Every tenth year
also the taxes Of one year arc wiped out
BY prescription.

Treatment Of Horses During the
Heated Term.

The New York Society for the Pre-
Yention5of Cruelty to animals has is
sued the following circular relative to
the treatment of horses during the
heated term
es9 The Society for the PreRention Of
Cruelty to Animals would. call .atten-
ton to the suffering of horses and mules
IN, our rstreets during the hot season,
and recommend. drivers and others hav-
ing animals under their care the most
considerate treatment. It would also
recommend feeding a small bundle of
wet hay, on couple of quarts of oats,
in the middle Of the day; TO use but
little corn, as it is very heating, and to
soak whatever is used twenty-four hours
In salt water before feeding to use the
wet sponge on the head to furnish a.
little drinking water as often as practi-
cable, when not OVerheated, and, as
further means of refreshing the animal,
TO throw water upon the legs and such
parts as are liable to chafe by perspira-
ton or otherwise drive slowly and
lessen the load usually imposed in
cooler weather to loosen the checkrein,
or, better, dispense with it altogether !;
to-cover- the animal with a fly net or,
preferable, with light sheet. The
following preparation is recommended
for animals suffering from being over
heated To one pint of water put one
ounce of chloride of ammonia. one
ounce sweet spirits nitre, one drachm
tincture aeonite; give tablespoonful
every hour or two. Upon the passen-
ger railroad lines the society would ad-
wise slow driving, even walking, when
the weather is oppressive to use the
sponges as above recommended, and to
have men stationed at the proper dis
tances along the route to water the ami
mails; to keep them shaded when prac-
tieable, and to provide extra horses to
relieve the load on M GRADES. $780,

A PARIS correspondent assures the
fashionable world that " there has been
a regular collapse in the fashions the
hustle has exploded, and now the wo-
men cannot coax their skirts to lie too
fiat. The trimming is all at the bottom
of the skirt and put on as full as posi-
bic, so as to stand very stiff. The sash
is worn around the dress, just above the
knee, tied on the sides with bow and
ends. No dress is considered elegant
that has not a sweeper at the bottom of
the skirt for evening robes; it is made
OF lace and other rich quillings. The
walking costumes are all worn short.
and just escape the ground which, to
say the least, is a clean fashion"

THE GRAND PACIFIC HOTEL

One of the most marked institutions of the
outgrowth of life IN our larger centers of
population Is the great hotel, and no feature Is
more notable and remarkable in New Chicago
than the vast caraYansaries that are to make
her the hotel city of the continent The laTg
est hotel structure in the world, is the Grand
Pacific, cut of which we give IN this issue,
at once the pride and the marvel OF the Gar
den city Its immense size and elegance are
well indicated in the engraving, and very re-
liable IN suggestiyeness as to the appointments
and adornments of the interior. The Grand
Pacific covers an area of 81 600 square feet, an
entire block, bounded by Clark, Jackson, La.
Sale and Quincy streets. Opposite, on Clark
street, Is rapidly rising the vast government
building, also occupying an entire square. The
material of the fronts of the great hotel is the
beautiful olive1tinted Ohio sandstone. The
structure cost over one million dollars, and its
furnishing by the lessees, Messrs. George w.
Gage, David A. Gage, and John A. Rice nearly
four hundred thousand dollars, an expendi-
ture warranted by their twenty years lease,
and securing throughout richness, elegance,
and solidity that will give enduring attractive
ness to the hotel, and carry its fame among
travellers all over the globe The carpets Of
the house, Administer, Aubisson, Wilton and
English Brussels, are all in new styles, and
largely IN special designs, and aggregate over
six acres. The beautiful carpets of the corTi-
doris, eleven feet wide, amounting to over a
mile in length. The features of the hotelthat
most strike the visitor and guest are the two
immense interior courts, used respectively for
the grand Office and the Office arcade. The
principal dining hall is 1875 by IS feet; the la

The house has its regular disciplined fire brig
ade Of fifty trusty employees. Standing iron
columns from the street, vast tanks in the
roof, the most powerful steam pump in the
city, with 3, 900 feet of hose always kept at
tached IN various parts of the house. A tele-
graph fire alarm IN every room, and the new
and perfect electric clock system of Prof.
Hamblet are among the appliances and safe
guards against cOnhagration. From three ny
drants on the roof the hotel force can protect
their own structure and help the safety Of adj
joining buildings. It viii be difficult to sug-
gest a feature in great hotel which the Grand
Pacific hiss not. The entire work of carrying
the structure to completion has beenfor many
months in charge Of the lesssees, whose repu-
tations and fortunes were made in the Sher-
man House destroyed in the great fire. Few
strangers will visit Chicago without making
the Grand Pacific one of the principal lions Of
their visit. Twenty months have given Chica-
go marvellous beauty in her new structures
which in extent more than restore her former
business capacity. Her streets are now lined
with tall blocks that are unsurpassed IN vari-
ETY. aud richness in any city in the world. Our
readers viii thank us for the presentment of
the largest and most striking structure of all
the Grand Pacific, which ON the first day of
June, 1873, opened its doors to guests.
