COMPARATIVE STATEMENT FOR THE WEEK ENDING

Special Correspondence u The Tribune.
PAR1s, Oct. 16-In preparing winter styles
Fashion has retained some which made their ap-
pearance early in the autumn, although many
novelties are seen. Among these, the Man
tau Parislcn, is garment of the Princcssc or
der, which extends to the trimming Of theskirt
beneath, and is generally of matelasse, trim
med and lined with fur. its popularity consists
in the arrangement Of the Dolman sleeves,
which are shaped to assimiIate with that Of the
coat, and the manner in which they arc placed
on it forms ample drapery over the
arms. and gives graceful finish
to the back. s'The pa]eto-Hatman is derni-
adjusted to the figure, and only differs from the
Louis XIV. style By the straight, pointed points,
instead OF the masculine. coatrshaped ones,
lately SO much in vogue. The "rotonde-Main-
tenon" has immense funnel-shaped sleeves, e1-
tending from an ordinary-sized arnfhole nearly
to the length Of the garment, but its eccentric
appearance does not commend it.
Touettes for children are seen in dark blue
cloth, embroidered in red chenille, whilst the
new " Calabraisn hats which accompany these
costumes are Of blue felt, trimmed with feathers
OF the scarlet ibis. 1t was supposed Fashion
would long since have exhausted itself in these
loud combinations OF co1ors, but her persistency
still! presents them to us, even more eonsp1cu-
ously than heretofore.

Even the best Sunday school scholars (eays
the Philadelphia BuIetin) sometimes arc so in
terested in earthly things that the spiritual
meaning of their lessons escapes them. There
was Miss Slumm's smartest boy. They were
studying the history Of Solomon, and Miss
Slumm wanted to show that, in spite OF all his
sp1endor aud wisdom, his lapse into idolatry
in his old age left him without the pure religt-
GUS devotion needful to perfect peace So Miss
Slumm said: Sand now, William, Solomon
had more wisdom and knowledge than any one
else in tile world, WAS far richer than any other
King; he built the most magnificent temple
that was ever seen; be lived in gorgeous
palace; he had fine clothes, and horses. and
chariots, md thousands of servants, and all the
other monarchs Of the earth looked upon him
with admiration and envy. And yet Me was
not perfectly happy. He needed but one thing
to give him absolute contentment and felicity,
and what do you think it was, William?'' Wifi
lam paused for moment, and then suddenly
exclaimed: II know!' Miss Slumm said:
sand what was it!'' ssWhy, he wanted to
learn how to whistle on his ipgers" Then
William all at once went down to the foot Of
theclass. he had been putting in his spare
time during the preceding week practicing that
musical accomplishment, and he thought Sol
omon certainly must have had ye:tnings in the
same direction.

NEW YORK,

Hpec;dl Correspondence Of The Tribune.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Time was when the
| only requirements for children's clothes were
cleanliness and simplicity; but dressing the
| little ones is now matter of much moment,
and involves the exercise Of great discretion and
good taste. Never before have beauty and
| utility, style and comfort, been so combined in
| chi1dren's costumes as at present. The rage
for combination which distinguishes maturer
toilcttes has left the garments OF the little
comparatively untouched, and when it does oc-
cur the garments are extremely delicate and uu-
obtrusive.
The skirts for larger girls are fu1l-gored, with
very little fullness on the hips, and full gath
crs or pleats in the back. The trimming is ex-
ceeding1y simple, consisting oftenest Of gath
cred or pleated 1ounces only. Many dresses
both Of costly and inexpensive materials have
the skirt perfectly plain, save for
one or more rows Of the popular
Titan, or Of tress-braid. One handsome suit
thus trimmed has the skirt we'll gored and Or
namented By six rows Of half-fnch silver braid,
the lowest fingers length above the bottom Of
the skirt. The overdrcss, a round tablier, tied
behind with wide sashes, and the jaunty little
sacquc, are similarly trimmed. The material OF
the suit is finely finished camel's-hair, dark
navy blue in color. A little round nat, with
pointed crown and brim upturned at the left, is
velvet, two ostrich tips, and q carved steel
buckle. 4 silver cord finishes the edge OF the

There can be little doubt that President
Grant, in the last few months of his Admins

sition which he abandoned at the request of the
people to become President Of the United
States. As General Of the Army, Gen. Grant
would have retained through life position
entirely suited to bis tastes which yields an in

after eight years Of Presidential SERVICE can
scarcely look forward to the future with the
same assurance as to material things that he did
eight years ago, with the certainty Of an honor
able and comfortable Hfe-otice before him.
Gen. Grant is not . poor man, but he is far from
being rich one. During his administration Of
the Prcsiden tial Office he has not been
able to watch his material inter-
ests, especially his Western Investments
do in bis position as General Of the Army. The
consequence is, that he has lost good deal Of
money, and that some Of his interests have
been sacrificed. His st. Louis farm was nota-

1t is the publicly expressed opinion
of the Hon. S. S. Cox, NJ. c., and the
Hon. Fernando Wood, NJ. c., that
Tilden cannot carry the State of New
York or the country. We have the
documents for this Cincinnati Ga
zeite.
Mr.. Blaine thinks that since the
Democrats have nominated a railway
lawyer who advised the credit mo-
bilier managers how to perpetrate
their steal without getting into the
meshes of the law, they will not be
eager to ask him questions.
This is an incident of the late ex.
animation into the Mississippi cleo
ton. In Claiborne county leading

Boutwell,: allow do you expect to
carry this election?" GIN the same
way we did last year" was the reply,
"and you might as we'll understand
that we are going to run that election
just as we please in spite of all the
Senatorial committees that can be
sent down here" "That will do, sir;
that will do" said Senator Bayard,
and the examination came to a pause.

The President and the Whisky
Frauds.



The Herald has always contended
that the attempt to connect the Pres.
ident with the frauds upon whisky
would react upon those who inspired
it. The Presidents record, as it
comes to light point by point, shows
that he was as earnest IN his desires
to have the frauds prevented and the
perpetrators punished as Bristow.-
Common sense would have proved
this; for if the President had wished
to protect the thieves he could have
done SO. The evidence of Bluford
Wilson is an exoneration of the
President. The country should re-
joice at this. The fame of the Presi
dent should always be dear to the
people, especially when the President
is man like General Grant, one of
the most conspicuous figures in our
history, whose name will be among
the glories OF our country when Til
den and Hendricks, Hayes and
Wheeler, Bristow, Jewell, Bluford
Wilson and all the rest are forgotten
No one has censured more freely
than the Herald the blunders of the
Administration. Noonc regrets more
than the Herald that the Administra-
ton should have failed to meet the
wishes of its friends. But we should
deem it calamity which every true
American would feel, if the victor of
Appomattox should prove to be a
venal, corrupt man. We have no
such fear, and the vlndication OF
Wilson's evidence is precisely what
we expected from Wilson when he
was put under the solemnity of an
oath.

A Tilden Ealsehood,
New York Times.


The Democratic papers are printing
the following paragraph:
"During the war of the Rebellion Gov
Tilden armed and equipped, by money
taken from his own private purse, four
companies of New York volunteer sold
iers"
This is a lie, made out of whole
cloth. Who started it is more than
any one Is likely to find out, but the
supposition may we'll be entertained
that it was put into possession Of the
western editor by some one of Til
denis agents. Possibly it Is the first
of series of pungent little lies that
are to be circulated in Mr.. Tilden's
behalf, by Bates Il Locke, or some
other advertising agency. However
that may be, the statement is false
hood that could not advantageously
be circulated in this part of the coun-
try. 1t was doubtless sent westward
with orders for its extensive promul.
cation in obscure parts before it
could come to the knowledge of those
able to contradict it. Mr.. Tilden
never armed and equipped single
soldier, much less four companies Of
volunteers. lie was never known to
do anything to help on the war, eth
err by assisting the soldiers them
selves or by ministering to their fam
lilies during their absence or after
their deaths. On the contrary he is
known to have refused assistance on
many occasions. For the sake of ex-
ample the following well-authenti-
Gated case may be stated: Early in
the war a young man of excellent
family and superior character and at
tainments was DESTROYS Of raising a
company. He waited upon Mr.. Til
den, with whom he had an acquaint-
ance, and asked him to give him a
letter OF recommendation to certain
State officials.
! Mr.. Tilden's reply was in substance
as follows;
"Young man, you need not come
to me for any such letter of recon.
mendation; this war is perfect out.
rage, and I will lend no assistance
whatever to its prosecution"
