loops in front and q feather or two

ish the most stylish bonnets. The face
trimming of some rich soft-hued velvet
between these close bonnets that are
entirely in quiet French taste, and the
flowing plumes and grace of Gains
borough hat, there is complete contrast;
and yet when well-worn, the latter Is
as modest as the other. The Gains
borough needs only scarf of soft rich
silk drawn close about the crown set
off by the very softest Of curling feath-

trimming is button with three drops,

BUSINESS AND MONEY.
I Business is terribly dull. No one
seems disposed to do anything till the
Presidency is settled. IF Tilden steals
Louisiana, it will continue so, for no
one will know, till after the meeting of
his Congress what will be his policy.
If Hayes is elected business men will
breathe free, for they know what his
policy is. and can calculate. Buyers
are cutting closely and sellers are equal
ly Indifferent, for unless man has cash
it may possibly be unsafe to deal with
him. Theatres are full, for the strangers
keep them fed, but notice fewer rich
dresses and less display of wealth than
usual. I observe furs two season old
dresses that have been made over, and
hats that new trimming has made
presentable. Women haven't the mon
ey to sperd, and economy is the rule
We want TO know who is President.

The Emperor on His Travels.

Tho Emperor Dom Pedro Ii of Brazil,
has made brief visit to California and Is
now en- route for the East and the Cen
tennial. 1t is expected that he will arrive
at Chicago to-day (May 4th.) Having
landed on our shores at Brook lyn-thus
seeing the worst of the country at first
it is probable that Dom Pedro wishes to
compare notes in the wicked city of the
West Our imperial visitor still refuses
to be lionized He came to see the coun-
try, not to let the country see him-un-
less the two observations can 90 on pleas
antly and proiitably together. 1t will
long be remembered how he commenced
his tour here by snubbing Secretaries Fish,
Taft and Robson when they met him in
New York harbor and offered him an es-
cort up the bay The forts and vessels
saluted the wrong ship while the Emper-
OF and Empress quietly landed, and then
drove to the Fifth Ave. Hotel in q common
hack. Dom Pedro has met with several
accidents since he boarded his ship for
the United States. At the start there was
a collision in the Brazilian harbor which
did not result seriously. The next co7atre-
temps occurred in New York City when
the driver of knick kerbockcr Ice Cart de-
termined to show Dom Pedro how Ameri-
cans drive, and So coolly smashed uo the
imperial carriage and tumbled the En-
peror into the mud 1t is said that with
difficulty the driver was restrained from
running over His Majesty Il haven't
killed an Emperor in more'n a year he
exclaimed, when demonstrated with by
the police. The next accident was when
the train going west ran off for mile or
SO without the Emperor who had stepped
out to look about. And now the telegraph
brings the news of an accident on the rail
road between Cisco and Summit Stations
California which caused a delay TO His
Majesty's train of eight hours. Our titled
visitor is very patient and philosophical
under al circumstances.

Correspondence of the Journal

CARvEEs HAEBoR. Quite ripple of excitement
occurred at this place Saturday of last week, in
the unexpected discharge Of all of the government
workmen in the granite sheds. Those remaining
will undoubtedly have to go in July unless Congress
makes an appropriation to carry the work. After
having had from 900 to 1000 workmen here so long,
the number left seems mere handful and gives the
place deserted appearance. This change will be
keeny felt by merchants, business men, and
hotel keepers. Some boarding houses that had from
forty to fifty boarders almost deserted, and
will probably have to suspend business. Heretofore
the men discharged have been foreigners and out OF
town workmen but this last move leaves large
number of our citizens out Of employment. The
discharged men gave farewell ball on Saturday
evening and the utmost good feeling preyailed

A Criminal Use of Public Funds.

The amount taken unlawfully from the
secret service fund, and the fees otherwise
paid by the general government to secure
the reelection of Grant in 1872 amounted
to the startling sum of $4,000. Even
the presidents quondam tool Ex-Atty.
Gen. Williams hesitated at first and refus-
ed to pay S35, 900 to the New York super
visor of elections Davenport. on the
presidents order till he had conferred with
the president. Davenport came to him
with a letter from the executive, request
ing that the money be paid him. The at
torney- general was surprised" as he
well might be at the presidential assump-
tion of the duties of auditor of accounts
and declined to do anything until he had
visited the White House; but when he had
listened to the presidents earnest and en-
thusiastic explanations OF Davenport's SER
vices he yielded There was an appropri-
alton of $4,000 made by Congress to car
ry out the law under which Davenport
acted but this money had all been paid
out for lawful purposes, and there was
nothing for the attorney general to DO but
to pay Davenport out Of the secret-service
fund-which he had no right to do He
says he was ''reluctant about paying the
money at the time, because he did not
think such a course was warranted by
law" but he ''believes the money was
well spent" When the committee at
tempted to question the witness concern
ing the conversation between the presi-
dent and himself about the transaction,
his memory suddenly became defective.
1t is believed that, as law adviser of the
president, he advised the latter that the
payment would be in violation of the law !;
but he could not remember about this
point, though he easily recalled great
many other things more difficult

DRUNKENEss AND DISTURBANCE. Mary

at her residence on New Federal street.
Mary has given similar entertainments be-

though the bill for broken furniture has
rendered them rather expensive. Yester-
day she outdid her previous efforts, and
when officers Morse and Laughton inter-
fered she was very indignant and fought
them tooth and nail Near the corner of
Pearl and Congress streets on her way to
the station, she shocked the meeting goers
by her abandon in the use of both sets of
limbs, giving performance which had
twice the indecency of the can-can and
not half its grace, Finally one officer
seized her by the shoulders and the other
by the feet and bore her to police station

No tears are shed over the prospect of
the speedy disappearance of the dirty
scrip which has so long been an abomina-
ton under the eyes and nostrels Of a suffer-
ing people. 1t has cost US dearly enough
as is shown by the fact that not more than
thirty millions in silver coin will be requr-
ed to redeem the existing outstanding trac-
tional currency, one-third of the forty-tve
millions being lost and destroyed. The
process of redemption goes on actively,
and occasions some inconvenience Tempo
rarily to the traders who need small change
with which to do business. So both silver
and fractional currency command pre-
MUM just at present, but the lack of
small notes viii soon compel the use Of

General Grant was deservedly famous
soldier, but Immediately upon his installa-
ton as President he began to tritter away
his reputation Now, at the close Of his
second term, he is confessedly the worst
failure as a President that ever disgraced
the White House. The people with whom
he surrounded himself, fresh from the
back-woods Cf the West, unaccustomed
to Washington life, at once plunged into
licentiousness, corrupted their women and
were in turn corrupted by them, until the
whole gang became thievish and immoral.
His favcrite advisers, chosen by himself,
have been detected in the grossest Of
fences. His brother and his brother-in-law
have confessed their completely in crimes.
His whole administration is rotten and
wicked. Suspicion rests upon his own
conduct. and detectives dog his footsteps
and pry into his financial transactions. If
this Republic We're ungrateful--as Repub-
lies are said to be-nothing could save
Grant from impeachment and removal
from office. His disregard of law, his
ignorance of the laws, and his irregulari-
ties in office, have been frequent and fla
grant. There is no official vice, from
nepotism to bribery, which cannot be laid
to his charge, with sufficient show of
proof to Justify an investigation.
