OMAHA, April l3.-Six companies of
cavalry and two of infantry have been
ordered from the railroad to the base of
the Black Hills, as an escort to Mr..
Jonncy, the government geologist, who
will make a survey of that country; he
expects to leave Fort Laramie on the
10Th. The government is promptly APP
prised of the many expeditions Of mi
ners into this country, and are prepared
for them. Letters from the Red Cloud
Agency show hat the Indians are fully
aware of all that ia being done in the
matter, are greatly excited over it. The
head soldiers, who are really more pow
erful than the chiefs, are favorably in
elined to disposing OF the country lying
between the two Cheyenne rivers for a
good round consideration. In the event
of its purchase the head soldiers will in.
sist that the reservation be moved to the
head of Tongue river. The Indians are
exceedingly anxious that a large num-
Der Of their head chiefs and. soldiers
should go down to see the President,
and are pleased that the agent has been
ordered to take them to Washington.

CITY

After all the clamor about the new
city charter as affecting the city schools,
Mr.. Trezevant, one Of the School Visi-
tors, stated last night before the Board
of Education that under the new law the
receipts Of the Board will be 5000
which is within $4,000 of the expendi-
lures of the past year. The grave prob
lem with which the Board has to strug-
gle is how to cut down expenses $40, 900;
simply retrench as a business man
would his expenses in hard times. This
would require a reduction of about one
seventh. There is not a workshop, not
a Wholesale house, not a foundry. or
cotton-shed, or family, " drayman,
laborer, banker or professional nan in
the city, but has made or will make a
corresponding reduction in ordinary ex-
penses this year. If people adapt them
selves to the necessities Of the times in
the management Of their private affairs,
why cannot similar rules apply to public
institutions paid for by the people. We
should regret to see the salaries of the
teachers cut down, but even this may be
necessary to a small extent. The prin-
Cipals of the schools can be dispensed
with altogether without great if any
detriment to the schools. Some very
worthy persons would be deprived of
comfortable and honorable positions, but
when the public welfare is involved the
private interest Of mere individuals
should not and cannot be taken into
consideration. The salary Of he super
intendent can be reduced at least one
half without impairing the efficiency of
the schools. If the School Board is in
earnest, and We trust q majority is so,
the necessary reductions can be made.
We will still have an efficient
school system equal TO the spirit and
requirements Of the age, and the
people Of Memphis will be saved many
thousand dollars per annum. The
people can stand this kind Of reform
and a good deal more of it. The horny

tions-sre exhibited to mortal gaze at
last; and We can only say, we like them
and We do not.
Like everythingput forth so extremely
early, exaggerated forms are always
given us, and It's soon found what our
native good taste viii accept and what
reject.
Seine of the new hats exhibited are too
'loId;" there is. too much color, aud
they are even more b~aRged-up than those
of winter.
One hat, of white chip, was lined with
wine-colored silk, trimmed with wine
colored ribbon, and under the brin,
looping it at the left side, and falling
from the crown 10 a spray, was a wreath.
OF Lilies Of the valley and elder blossoms.
Some OF the bonnets, we noticed, had
soft crewns of black silk, with haring
fronts Of white chip, and around it a
scarf of white twilled silk, and violet
flowers mixed with elder blossoms for a
garland hat.
A lovely hat, in white chip, has a roll
ing front, to simulate a double coronet;
this was covered by folds of pink silk,
and inside was a wreath Of pink half
opened buds and mignonnette. The
outside was trimmed with c fringed sash
of pink silk, with loops and ends, min
gled with white illusion, failing from the
back.
We must not fail to notice that even
thus early white chip predominates; and
We predict there will be more white hats
worn the coming season than in many
previous years.
There are chips Of every color known
IN fashionable parlance, and the hat en-
suite will by no means be abandoned.
Twilled silk sashes and ribbons of
cream-white, looking more like soiled
white than aught else, is the fashionable
shade.
The ugliest hat we saw was an in
ported creation, as follows: White
French chip, with a rolled-up eoronet;
a large bag of cream-white silk covered
the whole crown, and seemed not unlike
the pouf, so very fashionable on the
backs of dresses; this came to a point
at the bottom, over the neck, and was
finished with bows of ends of cream
white gros grain ribbon. Around the
crown was a wreath composed of wheat,
oats, green grass and scarlet verbenas.
A new silk, and ribbon for trimming,
is known as damassee silk, and at first
seems like the silk brocade Of old times;
but it is soft and flexible to the touch,
aud trims beautifully.
Profusion of flowers is noticeable, and
gilt ornaments is the novelty. Some
times tiny gilt chains are twined among
the flowers, and often two or three gilt
ornaments adorn one hat.
We are pleased to chronicle the fact
that we are approaching more matter.of
fact %colors; that the far-away faneied
names of last year have died out-yellow
is yellow, not the cereal straw" brown
is no longer a "dyspeptic frog" or green
a beautiful lizard" The %colors, too,
are all one could wish or fancy.
The darkest Of shades will prevail,
and plaids, where practical, will prove
the favorite costume.
As we have said in other "chats,"
plaids are used mostly for the over-dress,
and worn with silk skirts. Ii colored,
the shade should correspond with the
prominent color in the plaid.
