Ladies wear on promenade, with the
English double breasted walkng-jacket,
white silk scarf tiea about the neck
and tucked in underneath the rerers.
Some of the prettiest evening dresses
are OF white muslin, embroidered. They
are soft, airy, and graceful looking, and
particularly appropriate for young girls.
Collars are sill worn standing, with
ends slightly broken in front. Cuffs are
very large and cut round at the top, in
exact imitation of the gentlemens' style.
Laced kil gloves are taking the place
Of buttoned, to some extent. The argu-

Superintendent of the Public
Schools.

Very much depends upon the selec-
tion Of this officer. Should the gentle
man receiving the appointment be COM
petent to discharge the duties properly
and be a man calculated to properly i'm
press the youth of the State with the
importance Of education, and cheerfully
and energetically perform his duty, some
good results may be derived from the
amendment to the school laws. But un.
less the Superintendent is peculiarly
well fitted for the work, the salary will
be just SO much money wasted. The
Governor will not, we hope. act in this
matter until he is fully prepared to
make selection Of gentleman whose
fitness is well understood, and whose
character is of high order. No other
should be appointed. There is no need
OF being in haste about the matter. We
do not wish to see our schools under the
control of Objectionable influence.

The New York Canal Fraud Expo-
Cure.
WATER WAYS VS.. RAILWAYS.

The canal frauds of New York, as
exposed by Governor Tilden, are ex-
citing much interest in that State. 1t
is now half u century since the canal
system was inaugurated there, under
the auspices of De Witt Clinton that
great, practical stateman, whose most
| enduring fame is identified with the
successful establishment of that class
of improvements in the Empire State.
The cost of all the New York canals,
including interest paid on loan, has
been $105, ,315, 1856 Nearly two.thirds
of this sum has been paid by applying
the surplus tolls from time to time,
without imposing any burden on the
people of the State. The remnant of
the canal debt left outstanding at the
close of 1874, and to be paid from SUI
plus tolls to accrue hereafter, is $10,-
23O, ,430. In the forty years during
which these sums have been expended
the great railroad system has also been
inaugurated and developed, and under
the two the assessed valuation of the
State of New York has risen from
$528 ,597, ,270 in 1885 to s2, 1861 $50, 4S1
in 1874. Nothing could more impress
sibly show the creation of wealth
which is due to the canals and railroads
of that State than these figures.
But the great New York canals, like
almost all similar enterprises in this
country, seem to be availed of by
mercenary men to promote their per-
sonal fortunes, without regard to the
public welfare or even to common
honesty. Through system of ''re-
pairs" and improvements" combina-
ton of contractors and officials have
plundered the taxpayers, until the an
nual waste through canal mismanage-
ment is estimated byGovernorTildcn to
be nearlythree milliors of dollars. The
boatmen and forwarders, prompted by
railway competition and the depres-
sion of trade, have been clamorous to
procure a reduction of tolls, and as
there are six thousand barges on to
Erie canal, giving employment to fifty
thousand persons, the interest is very
large ne.-Balt. Sun.

AFFAIRS IN THE TRIBUNE OF
FICE.

The report that Whitelaw Reid is tc
retire from the Tribune editors chair
turns out to be false, The circulation of
that paper is larger now than ever twas
from the fact that it has cast off all al
legiance to party cliques and rings, and
stands free to maintain whatever is
thought conducive to the hest interests
of the whole people. Gov. Tilden re-
cognizes this in the Tribune in taboo
ing the World the presumed organ of
the party, and expressing his views on
the Canal question in the columns of
the Tribune. Gould does not own n
controlling interest in the paper, and
Rufus Hatch will not be connected
with the establishent in any way. The
circulation of the Tribune under Mr..
Reds administration has grown to
twice the number it had attained dur.
ing Mr.. Greeley's management.

N LIE HELENE ANsHAcH KILLED IN PARIS.
Paris Cor. London News, Mar. Is.
A shocking accident occurred on We'd
nesday evening, which has thrown the
Rothschilds and other great Jewish fam
lilies into mourning. Nine. Anspach,
with her son and daughter, Mile Helene
Anspach-a young lady Of considerable
beauty, well known in the fashionable
world of Paris-were returning home
toward midnight from the Theatre
Francais. -
Crossing the Boulevard opposite the
New Opera, NJ lie Anspach was run over
by an omnibus, two of the wheels pass
ing over her body. When picked up she
was insensible, but US consciousness re-
turned she said she felt no pain, and was
borne without apparent suffering TO II
cab. In the vehicle she placed her head
on her mothers shoulder and took hold
of her hand, which she pressed against
her chest, Mme. Anspach giving utter
ance all the while to expressions Of
thankfulness for what seemed to her
the very miraculous preservation of her
child's life.
But on reaching the house she found
that she had only corpse in her arms.
A heart-rending meeting took place
when the body of the young girl was
carried into the drawing-roon, between
Nine. Anspach and her husband, who
had been absent from Paris on business
for three weeks previously and had ar
rived an hour before the accident.

In summing up for the plaintiff the

casionally half rising as if to confront
the Jealous counsel. Finally, on the
occasion of a most outspoien refer
ence to their character; his lady friends
rose in coup, and the enraged de-
fendant, nerved at the sight, sprung
out of his seat and made for Mr.. Court

was compelled to resume his seat

France and the Centennial.

PARIS, March 29.-At the sitting of
the Permanent Committee of the AS
sembly to-day, NJ. De Lafayette asked
the Government what were its inten-
tions with regard to the United States
Centennial Exhibition, and he prom
ised it would have the support of the
committee in all measures aiming at a
worthy representation of France al
Philadelphia in 1876
The Duke Decazes replied that the
work had his entire sympathy, and
measures would be taken TO promote
it in every possible way. He added
that when the Assembly reconvenes il
would be asked to grant a credit for
the purpose. This had not yet been
done because the Government wished
to act with the utmost economy. The
Minister Of Commerce will address a
circular to all chambers of commerce
asking their cooperation.

Vice-Admiral RYDER. of the British

Vice-Admiral Ryder, of the British
Navy, now in command of the China
feet, has recommended to the Admi-
rally that ships mattresses should be
constructed of granulated cork instead
of hair, for the sake of buoyancy, lives
being often lost when help is near at
hand, and the ships boats sufficient.
In this position the British Admiral is
supported by the fact that the Russian
Navy has been supplied with cork mat
tresses, that the Prussian Navy is to be
supplied with like articles, and that
the marine authorities of other coun-
tries are examining into the matter with
view OF acting in like manner in
order to protect seamen from ocean
accidents and mishaps. The captain
of the English ship recently burned
off Montevideo, states that all the crew
might have been saved by the ham
mocks if the latter had been buoyant.

The Cost of the Coal Miners Strike

At least forty thousand coal miners
are on a strike in the coal regions Of the
State, with the probability of the num-
Der being increased. This is a sad state
Of affairs. Miners generally earn large
wages. Their daily pay is rarely less
than three dollars, and it frequently
reaches ten. At the minimum figures,
they are losing hundred thousand dol
lars every day Of the continuance of the
strike. Now when it is remembered that
the strike has been already continued
for three months, the amount of money
wasted is So immense as to be perfectly
startling. Another deplorable feature
of the strike is the fact that nothing
that has the appearance Of compro-
mise has been presented, and as con-
sequence, there is probability of the
suspension of this profitable labor, AS
long rs those engaged in the strike have
means to subsist.-Phila. Chronicle.

NEW YORK, March 30.-A special
in the Sun from Washington says -
Here is another instance of how it fares
with young officers who marry into in.
fuential families: Lieut.. Richard c.
Hooker, who married Senator Stewart's
eldest daughter, and has been on duty
at the Hydrographic office in Washing,
ton for two years, has been ordered to
Mare Island, Cal, at the request of hi.
father-in-law. His term of sea service
has been seven years and five months
only, out of total of thirteen years
and one months service. Instead of
being entitled to further shore duty,
he should have been ordered to sea.
