The first Of the quarterly messages on
municipal finances, required under the
amended city charter, was sent to the
Board Of Aldermen last evening by Mayor
Howell. It gives a clear view Of the city's
critical pecuniary condition, and is a
model of perspicuity for future messages
Of the kind:

A long consultation took place to-day
between II. J. Jewett of the Erie railroad,
Commodore Vanderbilt Of the New York
Central, and Thomas a. Scott of the Penn
sylyania Central railroads fer the purpose
of possibly making arrangements for the
benefit Of the three lines. The subject of
an increase in the present schedule Of rates
was under discussion, but ultimately had
to be abandoned for the present. The
future plan Of management Of the lines on
a more amicable basis was also canvassed
at length, but left unaltered for the present.
Receiver Jewett, however, expresses the
hope that ere long everything will be salts
factorily arranged between the three trunk
lines.

for the three days of the display. 1t is a
schooling that the farmer lads of the State
cannot easily forget; the sightseeing" in
such cases means i'rogress in Delaware's
iayorite science, agriculture, and, moreover,
the exchange of ideas between farmer and

great good to all. 1t is evident from the

Of tie fruits of the la!ter-day civilization.
Is the Peninsula behind the tines as
this Yankee snob or that oracular Cow est

again? 1t is fair question, though; one
that will bear looking into anda,ting upon.
In fact, we believe that the people of the

on their heads a little, saying, "really We

sits by the open door,

Grandfather sits by the open door,
And around his feet the sunbealns play,
While his scant gray locks are gently stirred
| By the breath of the mild October day.
His gaze is turned toward the distant hills,
Where the trees are yellow and green and
gold,
And they seem to say to the Old mans
heart,
"See! we grow lovely as we grow old!''
Over the landscape far and near
Grandfather looks with htear-dimmed eyes
For on the meadow, as on the hills,
The shadow of sumraer's slow death lies.
But over il all, with restful calm,
There fingers dreanful, tender haze,
And the breeze Is fragrant with stolen
sweets
In memoriam of the summer days.
Grandfather thinks of the years gone by,
The spring-time first of his merry youth,
And then the summer of manhood's joys,
When his heart grew warm with love and
truth.
"Alas!' he murmurs. "that time has assed,
And winter comes for the year and me;
W. knows, as the chill Of age crccps on,
How lovely in my death shall be!''
Grandfather lies on the hillside brown
Lies at rest-and the setting sun
Kisses the spot where loving hands
Laid him down when his life was done.
And over the meadow, over the hills,
The breeze goes sobbing the livelong day
For the fair sweet summer whose life went
out
With the shadow of winter chill and gray.

Silk an cashmere will be worn together

The French ladies wear ne;th,r bustles
nor crinoline.
Basques will continue long in front aud
short in the back
A long, square oversliirt is to be very
popular this Winter
Many of the button holes to imported
dresses are velvet bol:nd.
The fancy for having sleeves different
from the basque continues.
French backs, without side bodies, are
not as popular as they were a year ago.
Square ncckerchiefs of silk and wool are
to be worn in the street until fllrs appear.
The cuirass basque of last year has not
changed in shape, but is trimmed much
more.
The new coat sleeves are deeply hallow-
ed at the top, and let out above the arm
hole like those of mans coat.
Plaid will be used again as trimming
on plain material. 1t will be more used
as trimming on solid goods than as dis
tinctive parts of the costume.
A hat, in felt, very much in the sailor
shape, with upturned brim and low flat
crown, will be in vogue for the little folks.
This will not be much trimmed.
Black velvet dog collars are very much
worn still, and those with medieval orna-
ments of red gold in front and pendant
cross, are really beautiful.
Spanish combs are still fashionable, the
newest and prettiest are those inlaid with
pearl, steel and guilt. These new ones
make handsome show by gaslight.
Sleeves are very close fitting, and those
for mid-Winter are interlined with flannel,
and in some cases slightly wadded to make
the arm look round and plump.
Many of the dresses will be trimmed
with Marguerite pleatings. These pleat.
ings are the finest kind of pleatings laid
almost as fine as the petals of that flower,
and look like crimping.

fro::. 1855 10 1875, according to the State
census, was % per cent. The marked diff
ference in these per centages gives some
indication of the want of reliability Of one
or the other of these returns. The State
census of 1865 was probably at fault,as the
return that year gave smaller population
than in 1860. According to the State cen
sus, the per centage of increase for the
large cities was 81, and for the rest of the
State little less than 8 per cent. The

painful, but, in a word, the Assembly
knows that it cannot last for ever, and the
electoral body will look kindly on those
who have worked toward dissolution tor
the course they have adopted in not retard-
ing an event so impatient!y expected. As
to the mode of working, my opinion Oh
that matter is well known. In ordinary
times the voting for names singly appears
to me preferable, but now, after the vote
Of the constitution, and when irreconcila-
BE adver'aries having no other care than
that for their party, discuss this vote with
view to make it part Of the law of the
country, it appears to me necessary to Gre.
ate a Z ;>at movement of public opinion so
tina. 10 one can resist it. 1t is desirable
t'.;t the country should say boldly what is
lis will and what are its hopes. AS for the
conservatives, who have positively rallied
for the Republic, they have nothing to fear
from the verdict of France; this verdict
will be favorable to them. France has al
ways had Il treasury Of indulgence for its
prodigal children. The elections will be
good because they will be wise. They will
not be ultra-radical or Bonapartist, and es-
pecially not clerical. There will, of course,
be bad selections, but they will be rare, and
we need have no anxiety aboutit.
