THE MORALITY OF DRESS.

Why should woman be careless of costume
and think it beneath the attention of the wise
and well-cutivated Why should it be i'm
possible for our gossipy comment to hit the
happy medium, as if there were nothing be-
tween a poverty-stricken plainness and a
flaming, Haunting, ill-bred superfiuity9 At
this season, especially, side by side with gor-
geous descriptions of watering place glories
and of the commencement elegance of the
young women's colleges we encounter many
dry little paragraphs like this written itself
by a woman: "These radical, progressive,
"learned, courageous, nay, defiant girl-gradu-
ates stood before the public as-Dressmakers'
Monuments. The dreSsmaker is the natural
foe of progressive wOmanhOOd. 1t is not
"prophecy to say that while the dressmaker
"endures, women will not vote" The fallacy
of the last assertion will be evident if we con-
slider that in this world there are taiors as
well as dressmakers. 1t may seem paradox
cal to say that men are as fond of and as
anxious about dress as women, but the differ
ence is not so great as we may imagine. We
make the mistake because a fnelY-dressed
woman is really more Respondent and beau
tiful object than carefully-dressed man.
Feminine beauty takes kindly to color, and q
certain style of it will bear any amount
of gorgeous and bejeweled magnifcence
Rich raiment seldom becomes mans figure
and port, because male beauty is the beauty
of strength and not of softly rounded lines
delicate complexion, mingled color, and al
undulating carriage. Neither is that large
| liberty allowed to man of dressing to conceal
deficiencies; nor is there with him that large
vanity of appearance which calls for a variety
| of styles. In his relation to woman he is moi
supposed to win SO much by display of ee
gance as by his wit or his wisdom, or by the
kindly and protective tenderness which was O
feature of the old chvalry, which may be
ridiculed upon platforms and in resolutions
which may be sneered at or laughed at by
unsexed women, but which the world will
never outgrow.
| In considering this topic it may be set down
as fact that the woman who begins by as
suming that her dress is of little consequence
will be very likely to end sloven or scare
crow. Art is art and will retain its power
over well-arranged characters to the end. II

THE THIRD TERM DISC USSION.

To disinterested and passionless spectator
of politics and reader of political discussions,
the wonderful chattering that has been going
on for several weeks past upon the prOba-
bilities of President Grants being nominated
for third term, and in connection Herewith
what has come to be called, in the slang that
gains such easy currency in politics, " Cesar
"ism," must be infinitely amusing. Started, we
are half inclined to think, by some one who
struck upon it in the dearth Of topics from
sheer lack of O subject of interest, or perhaps
by some superserviceable supporter of the
Administration who had q keen eye for the
main chance and was determined to be first
in the field, the jangle over and about it
has spread until half the newspapers
in the country have had hand
in it. The question just now seems to be who
began it. On the one hand it is charged that
the organs of the Administration preached 1t
thus early with an insidiOus purpose of ia
miliarizing the people with the idea and grad
ually paving the way for Casarism; on the
other hand, the Administration organs which
have sense enough to see the effect OF IT, say
the whole business is conspiracy OF the OPP
nosition to drive the Republican party into
the denomination of Grant, which they are
frank to say would be absurd and ridiculous,
and would endanger the success Of the party.
Not the least amusing feature of this con-
fusion of tongues and pens has been the ca
gerness with which each side charged the
other with starting an unpleasant theme.
While very few. and they the
most obscure and uninhuential, of the Ad-
ministration organs have treated the PROPOSE
ton to renominate Grant seriously and fallen
IN with it, the majority have denounced it as
an invention of the enemy, intended only to
distract and divide the party in power. The
opposition meanwhile insist strenuOusly that
it is only premature publication of deep
laid conspiracy against the liberties of the
country and another illustration of the cen
Trailing tendencies and the imperialistic pIO-
gramme of the bold bad men in power. One
Administration organ says tho denomination
of Grant would never have been thought of
if the opposition press had not suggested it ;
another says the plot is to force Grants renomi-
nation "by the same villainous means"

MR.. BULLETS "DEFENSE.1

Among the accomplishments with which
some of our society men highten post prandial
enjOyments is a gift of story telling, one ele
ment of which is the use of wonderful pdtOiS,
which has the bullying cultural and pectoral
reorganization of the German with bits of the
genuine tongue, fragmentary syllables, and
disjointed words mixed up and shaken together,
and all poured out in such gushing volume
that any man familiar with German is con-
fused and muddled by 1t, so that he does not
at first make out whether it is the rapidity of
the speakers utterance that confuses him,
or it is absolute and irredeemable nonsense
to which he is listening. A gentleman who
rejoices in this accomplishment, returning af-
ter a few days absence to his place in the
country, was informed that a German in the
neighbOrhood, whose garden had been invaded
by the gentleman's COW, to the great destruc-
ton of cabbages and other garden sauce, had
called number of times in an angry mood
and would doubtless reappear shortly with
his demand for satisfaction. SO warned, the
gentleman prepared himself for the interview
Arraying himself gorgeously, he awaited in his
elegantly furnished library the coming Of the
indignant sutton. The latter soon came, was
uSHeTtu Ill anu IcCtlNtu WIN uhpiceoi'o OCIo-
mony. Startled moment at the unaccus-
toned magnifcence of his surroundings, the
owner of the cabbage-patch very shortly re-
covered himself and launched in broken Eng
lish the story of his grievance.
"You are German, are you not ~ inter
rupted the lord of the manor.
"Yaw," was the reply.
ooh, well, then, you had better proceed
with your story in your own language. /
" am quite familiar with it, and speak German
Gas well as English"
Thus set loose, the German agriculturist re-
sumed the narrative in his native tongue and
with flood of elOQuence recited his griey-
ance, together with the law and the facts con-
corning it, and the peculiarly oppressive fea-
| lures Of the case which called for exemplary
as well as actual damages.
There was not word of interruption till
he had concluded. Pausing then a moment,
the lord of the manor opened calmly his
reply in the wonderful patOiS The eyes of
| the agriculturist began to expand. Warming
with his subject, the lord of the
manor rose in his scarlet dressing-gOwn
and approached his interlocutor with gesticu-
lation. The eyes of the latter opened wider
still and his jaw fell. The tide of gutturals
sweled, and the loose expectoration of speech
increased in volume and rapidty. His ges-
tures grew moro vehement. and his voice rose
and fell with accent and infection and into
nation as though there must be meaning in It,,

apased, aud his stare becoming stonier and

1t is sufficient commentary on the efficiency
of the District of Columbia Government that
the first loan which has become due since the
new administration of affairs began has been
suspended The Emery bonds, amounting to
about $4,000, principal and interest, are over
due and unpaid. This, certainly, is not good
governmental economy.

The American Literary Bureau, not having the
name of Miss Anna E. Dickinson on its list-albeit
through no lack of effort on its part-pubshes the
following:
Anna Dickinson will certainly appear on the STAGE stage
next Fall upon the opening OF the new Boston GoDe
Morant. and promises to make a decided success.
II seems doubtful whether this can be as accurate
as the semi-offcial announcement of leading lee
ture bureau about the leading lecturer of the
try ought to be-for several reasons:-
Miss Dickinson cannot well appear at the opening
of the new Boston Globe Theatcr, since there is no
new Boston Globe Theater, and, SO far as anybody
knows, is to be none.
She has not been under the tuition Of Miss Fanny
Morant.
She has not been under the tuition of anybody
for the last twelve years at any rate
She is not under any engagement to appear on the
stage anywhere-in spite of many tatterlng propos-
ais to that end.
She has not been under any such engagement.
She cannot well be. since she is already bound by
over 100 lecture engagements for next Winter;-
promised after that tour through new lecture
field that has long invited her lis under contract
for a new book, to be published by James Il. OsgOod
& Co. in November is just starting for an eight
weeks trip through Colorado.
On the whole il looks as if Miss Dickinson would
not certainly appear the stage next Fall, upon
the opening of the Boston Globe Theater." But
the American Literary Bureau is quite right in say
ing that she promises to make decided success. She
generally does Perhaps it would be as generous If
the Bureau were now to take some pains TO add to
this true statement correction of Its errors and II
a good many newspapers would abandon the bust
ness of inventing absurd reports about Miss Dickn-
son.

That threatened men live long is an old
saying but, after not very many threats, the
New-York Rendering Company have actually
had their contract revoked. This venerable
nuisance was allowed to establish itself on
the North River about eight years ago. 1t
has been assaled in various ways since then !;
but it has grown in bad odor ever since.
Lately, the action of the Board OF Health
having alarmed nuisances in general, the Rem
dering Company have been more than usually
offensive in their disposal of the offal which
they were supposed to turn into COM
mercal products. 1t is distinctly charged
that agents of the Company dumped Offal and
dead animals where they could poison the
waters and shores of the bay. The new ar
rangement made by the Board of Health
merely proposes to give the removal of ami
mails, &C., to a new contractor; and Barren
Island, beyond Coney Island is designated as
the point where the rendering is to be done.
We shall wait to see how this contractor full
fills his bargain. Meantime, to have fairly
gotten rid of the Rendering Company, at last,
is a sweet boon.

The happiest old lady we ever heard of resides in
Mansfield, Conn. She is nearly 100 years old. Some
old ladies are remarkable for this, and some for
that some for entirely new sets of teeth some for
doing the family washing when past 90; some
for walking five miles to church. and some for
having seen Gen. Washington. But the peculiar
ty of the old lady in Connecticut is that she never
heard a band of music in her life" Happy andyen-
cradle dame If she had bean compelled to listen
often to some Of our street brass-banders who go
about seeking whom they may drive to suicide, she
might have been dead and buried and dust long
ago.

The State of Mississippi has rather peculiar law,
passed by the last Legislature, by which it is pro
vided that every person holding Office in the State
who shall be found drunk shall, upon conviction be
deemed guilty of high misdemeanor, and shall, by
the Judgment of the Court and sentence be removed
from office. This is the first general law of the kind
which we ever heard of, though tipsy Judges have
been impeached and tipping militia officers court
martialed. We are afraid that the machinery of the
statute does not work quito easily in Mississippi ;
for we notice newspaper there calling upon Grand
Juries to do their duty or perish in the ATTEMPT.

she was destroyed. Under such circumstances,
the reported destruction of lives-between
forty and ifty-seems lncommonly large. We
believe this number will be reduced by later
reports, but it is evident that great disas-

Another chapter in the somewhat dismal
controversy among the City Departments Is
printed to-day. 1t must be observed that this
discussion is chiefly occupied with questions
of appropriations and relative economy OF ad-
ministration. Controller Green takes excep-
ton to Commissioner Van Norris remark that
the reductions made in the appropriations OF
the Department of Public Works are almost
entirely of that class where an excess Oh
clerks and salaries paid out of taxes, was
found to exist. This forms theme for the
exhaustive essay which follows, giving COM
harrison between the relative expense OF the
Department of Public Works and that Oh
Finance, very much to the credit OF the LAT,
ter. we may be sure. After all, to what emu
is this debate
