On the west side OF the city yesterday things
were unusually quiet, even more peaceful than an
ordinary day. At four station houses the Sixteenth
Twenty-nnth, Third and Twenty ty-eghth-there
were no prisoners, not even an arrest having been
made OF drunken man. In all the others, with
the exception OF an occasional unfortunate whom
liquor had overtakcn there was nothing worthy OF

At the Reform AssOcfa tiOn.
The headquarters OF the Reform Association

members bringing in the returns from all the AS

receiving the returns indicating the large vote for
Judge Fancher and all the other reform candidates
showing clearly the election OF nearly all the names
on the reform ticket. The ''anti-Greenu tickets
were In great demand, and the reform boxes did q
large business during the day, all being well and
successfully managed throughout the whole city;
the boxes being easily recognized by the large
printed bills pasted all over them, headed "anti-

LITTLE Rock, April l4.-Furbush, the
fighting coIored representative of Phil
lips county, had an alteration this
morning with Judge Stephenson, of the
supreme court, in the lobby Of the capi-
tol, the assault growing out of Stephen
sons opposition to Furbush's bill Great
ing Lee county. In the effort to separ-
ate the belligerants, Furbush "blacked
an eye" of Democratic member of the
house, and brushed y the sergeant-at-
arms Of the senate. The affair vacated
the legislature and precipitated an ad-
iournment of both houses.
Senator Dawson, author of the first
civil rights bill, sued Yahr, barkeeper
for HornibrOok Townsend, for re-
fusing him drink at the bar, fined him
twenty-five dollars and costs. A purse
was made up to make this test case
under the civil rights bill. The case was
appealed.
The local graveyard, fifteen miles be-
low here, near Perkins's place, COM

skeletons. About fifty bodies and skele-
tons have been snatched from the
muddy depths. An eagle wass seen with

With the arrival of Easter the full display of
Spring Fashions usually takes place; and in
this connection we shall to-day present to the
fair sex a short account of what is Ia mode ;
though II we should attempt to describe what
Is not worn, our article might be much more
brief-there never having been a period when
such liberty of dress prevailed.
Conspicuous among all are the styles of the
time OF Henri IL, Louis XIV, Louis XIV and
Louis XvI-embraeing such peeuliarities as
the standing fraises, the high brushed Golf
fures, Spanish combs, rich brocades and lace
like effects. All of this is but the reaction
from state Ofsemi-Q Quakerisrn which seems TO
have pervaded the fashionable world for the
past few seasons, aud now we have la belle
France rising like the tabled Phoenix from
her ashes, going forth still mistress OF the
fashionable world all predictions to the con-
trary notwithstanding. As the politics of a
country, so are its fashions, and hence we see
the dash of life which is displayed throughout
all departments. French manufacturers now
vie with each other in producing artistic dis
plays of color and make, and at no time in
their history have so many really meritorious
novelties been issued.
The light effect of the canvas guipures is
one specially to be desired in a summer toilet,
and when used in connection with solid
material of the same shade for trimming, can
hardly be exceIled. These goods are to be had
this season in Lawns as Well as woTsted ma
terials consequently a run may be expected
to be made upon them during the entire sea-
son. With such goods, pearl buttons, either
smoked or clear, Will be used. IN striking
contrast to the above are the Napoleon Blue
fabries which are particularly heavy in their
appearance unless relieved by the sprightly
polka dot, so much talked Of at the present
time. Handsome costumes in this style are
made by using the solid skirts with polka dot
trimmings, and the overdress of the dotted
goods with facings and bands of the solid ma
terial. Pure white JotUTageTes add greatly TO
the piquancy of this design. insertions in
yak and cluny laees viii also be very much
used, the goods being entirely cut away I'M
derneath, thus adding greatly TO the labors Of
the dressnlaker.
As an article of trimming, Ul0tre seems TO be
revived, and viii with many supplant the
more durable satin, though It's principal use
is in ribbons, bows and sacks. --
From now forward in this climate grena-
dine dresses viii be worn by many, and as
sueh is the case we shall give description of
very elegant one just finished for a
grdnde dame OF this city. The skirt, which
is cut en- traine, IS leoped at the waist with
worked diamond fastenings. Vertical spiral
