What viii BE Worn i'm Fall Dresses
Notes from Fashionable Openings.

The semi. annual openings at the lead
ing furnishing houses, says Harpers's
Bazaar, brought to light great number
OF elegant dresses, and some very simple
and stylish ones that will be useful 10
plain and practical people. Among the
latter was costumes of warm soft twilied
wcoi!ens in the fashionable clair de Tune
gray, seal brown, and plum blue shades,
made up without any trimming other
than rows of sewing machine stitching
and single slde-pleated tiounces. The
overdreSs tor these WAS yoke polonalse
with piGsted front and back. The yoke
is straight and square, the pleats disappear
in the skirt below the waist, and the belt
is confined to the pleats, leaving the
tapering sides unbroken by belt line
From SIX to ten parallel rows OF stitch
Ing on broad facing or hem, finish the
edge very neatly. The sleeves are so
nearly tight fitting that the outer seam
is lett open at the wrist and butloned by
two or three buttons and holes. a long
loopcd bow with ends of narrow ribbon
is on the lett side of the waist in front,
and similar one on the right side OF

side plests, is hemmed on each side, and
Is held in place by four or five rows Of.
stitching. THIS Costume is also made up
IN light qualities of navy blue or gray
water proof cloth, and is then an excell-
ant dress for travelling, morning walks,
business women, and tor rainy weather.
Other very useful suits, jsunty enough to
please gay youthful tastes, are made OF
similar materials with poaching jackets
and pIeated vests. This Is a pretty
basque, bultoned by only one or two
buttons, and sloplAg away to show vest
below, and with rolling collar opening
on q fiat folded scarf such as gentlemen
wear. The overskirt is long md round,
and the whole dress is trimmed with
rows of braid.

O, the Breton costume, either in the front
or back, is found in twO-thIrds OF the
new importations. For plain suits,
sleeves are narrower even than coat

there, and left nearly untrlmmed at the
wrist, to be worn with broad linen cuff
tlrned back outside the sleeves. For
more dressy toilets the sleeve IS made

much trimmed with frlis and
aces. The French gray duroy
dresses are made up in PLAIN design,
with little drapary, and are richly
trimmed. Moss green is the prevalent
color found in and materials, 1t Is per-
maps. the handsomest color shown this
year tor rich velvcts and brocades, and

are of silk, ana AS they are SCI nearly con-

supernatural in their elevat1ng influence. "
But how does this comport with tho
essence Of orthodoxy, that Christianity
is the only true faith, and that all
other religions are delusions and heathenish
superstitions The implication Of the Ad-
dress is, that there are other religions whose
genuine supernatural influence is attested by
their civilizing influences. But this recog-
milton Of the universally Of religions as
opposed to the claims of any particular sys-
TEN is the very ground occupied by the
u1tra-rationalists. The criticism Of the
Monthly is SO pointed and ingenious th2t
President SEE1YE can hardly pass it by with
out reply, and the discussion thus COM
mcnced must inevitably draw others into
it,, SO that it promises to be un-
usually interesting. Meanwhile, there
is still another question which it seems to us
needs explanation, both from the Evolution
lists and the nnti-Evolutionists II, as the
Evolutionists say, civilizations decay only to
evolve higher stages Of civilization, how is it
that some civilizations, like the Aztec and
others, have not only decayed, but have be-
come utterly extinct and left no sign, and
TINT arts have been lost and evolved nothing
to tahe their place,-in other words, that
there are well-de6ned cases of nnnihilntion?
And if: as tho ant-Evolutionists say, SUPER
naturalism is the controlling cause Of the
progress of man, how is it that it sometimes
fails in its work, n hich should be infalliblc,
and at other times works imperfecty?

Comptroller reports that there arc |574,0 ,018
IN the Treasury which belongs to the Canal
Redemption Fund as its pro rata share, and
SIG, 434 which belongs to the City Hall Fund
under the appropriation of 1874, making in
all over 500, 900 in cash, which may be used
Immediately, and which, judiciously expend-
ed will carry on the work upon the founda-
t'on during the good weather of this fall.
This fund will receive accretions US rapidly
as the defalcation Of GAGE, tho tlefalcation
OF Vos HoI1Es, and the defalcation of the
ta1-tighters can be recovered. Tho Vox
Ho1LEN defalcation is the only one which
can be regarded as m absolute and total loss,
and the deficit of the tax-fshtors will begin
to come in under the collections of next
summer: There is every reason why be-
ginning should be made now. The fair
weather Of this fall, the cheapness of labor
and material, the 100000 in the Treasury
which cannot otherwise he used, the neccssi-
ties of the workingmcn, and tho obligations
Of the city to tho State-all require it. The
matter should be definitely settlod at to-mor-
rows meeting Of the Council, and any Alder
men who show disposition to postpone or
obstruct the work will be severely ccnsurcd

3Ir. O. c. GIBBS, a well-known resident of
Chicago, and man of great practical expe-
rience in farming and in criticising lands
adapted to agricultural purposes, has been
engaged by TIE TRIBUNE for pilgrimage
through Arkansas and Texas. These two
States are constantly presenting their claims
for superiority in all that pertains to hus-
bnndry, and Mr.. GIBBS is sent to thoroughly
investigate these claims and report, that the
surplusage of workingmen in Western cities
1nay understand what the advantages are
and where the defects lie, SO as to
enable them to judge intelligently
whether or not their interests lie
in seeking new homes and embarking upon
agricultural enterprises. AIr. GIBBS is fanlil-
lar with the country through which he is to
travel, aud his letters will conscientiously
set forth the exact status of affairs therein.
They will be Of value to workingmen whose
attention has been called to the practical
inutility of striving to build up homes in
lnrge cities, and should he find the States of
