Spring and Summer Fashions.

The great variety of fine wooden goods
for spring and summer wear Is daily
increased BY some charming new importa-
tation. OF these, the latest Is styled cash
mere pointille, from its being densely
dotted with specks formed by oversh0t
threads. This material is fine, oil wool,
delightful to wear, and is shown in every
desirable color. A very charming toilette
is Of dark blue overlaid by tiny cFoss-bars
Of cream color, the trimmings Of the dress
being plain blue. A novelty In wooden
materials is lace-like fabric known %
cashmere dentelle. This Is intended for
polonaises to be worn over skirts of dark
or brilliant-hued silks. The material it.

wide, almost two yards, and, though it
costs good deal per yard, makes not an
expensive garment, and is both stylish and
pretty. A favortte dress gUods for this
summer will be the beautiful Mexicaines.
The tints to be found in them are exQui-
site, and, though its price places It beyond
the reach Of many, with those who can
afford it, it is most popular. The shades
most used arc pale rose, light blue, coral

How the Oyster Builds His Shell.

Cnlng, apparently incapable OF DONG any
thing at all; yet, what marvellous house
an oyster builds around his delicate frame
When the oyster is first born he is very
simple, delicate dot, as it were, and yet
he is born with his two shells upon him.
For some unknown reason, he always
fixes himself on his round shell--never
on his fiat shell; and, being once fixed,
he begins to grow, but he only grows in
summer. Inspect an Oyster-shell closely,
and it will be seen that it is marked with
distinct lines. As the rings we observe
in the section of the trunk of tree de-
note years of growth, so does the marking
of an oyster tell US how many years he
has passed in his bed " at the bottom of
the sea.
Suppose an oyster was born June Is,
1870. He would 60 on growing up to the
first line we see we'll marked; he would
then stop for the winter. In the summer
of 1871 he would more than double his
size. In 1879 he would add to this house.
In 1873 and 1874 he would again go on
building, till he was dredged up in the
middle of his work in 1875, when he
would be five and half years old. The
way in which an oyster builds his shell
is pretty sight. l have watched it fire.
quently. The beard or fringe of an oyster
is not only his breathing organ. e., his
lungs-but his feeding organ, by which
he conveys the food to his complicated
mouth with his four lips.
When the warm, calm days of June
come, the oyster opens his shell, and by
means of his fringe begins building an
additional story to his house. This he
does by depositing very fine particles Of
ceedingly fragile; then he adds more and
more, till at last the new shell Is at least
as hard rs the old shell. When oysters
are growing in their shells they must be
handled very carefully, as the new growth
of shell will cut like broken glass, and 8

Mr.. Eyaris's New Departure.

Bulletins from Washington, highly flavor
ed with the peculiar doors OF tho Depart
mont of State, announce with much empha-
sis that Mr.. LyARIs is about to inauSurate
a more positive foreign policy than that of
his predecessor, and toput the United States
forward among the leading powers Of the
world. This is high ambition, which seems
TO have taken possession Of all the recent
Secretaries Of State soon after they entered
Office and to have been abandoned In due
time aftcrwarl.

Trying 20 Use New York Patronage for HI.
Own Elevation.

WASHINGTON, June Ito dispose OF the
patronage in the State OF New York gives tho
Administration a great amount of trouble.
Though this is to some extent owing to tho
largo number of applicants for places it mainly
springs from JealOusics and rvalrics between
tho powerful factions into which tho Repub-
leans Of the State are divided. The origin ma
turc. and temper Of these factions will be I'M
dcrstood when we remember that their respect
i've leaders are Mcssrs. Conkling. Fcnton, and
Morgan. while William NJ. Evaris thinks he has
a faction too; and that Conkling and Evarts are
looking forward to Presidential nomination
in 1850. and thnt the whole Of them have their
eyes turned toward the Senatorial seat to DO

The AIl-Importaut Thing Pointed out
by Mr.. Tildcn and Mr.. Hendricks.

Tho importance and significance Of the
brief speeches Of Mr.. TlLpEN and Mr.. lIrS-
DR1CKs lie in the fact that both speakers in
dictate the main feature of the politics Of
the iuturc, wilicn II aisU tiic naln feature OF
the politics Of to-day. 1t is the crushing
of tho fraud which was begun in No
vember and consummatcd in March. Mr..
TILDEN dwolt on this TO the exclusion Of
everything else. After characterizing the
fraud as the "most portentous event in
our political history" the greatest wrong
that has stained our national annals" he
said:
"The question now Is Whether our clcrive
system. IN liz substance we'll ~ it, form. H. to
be- maintained. This is the question Of qurs-
tons. Untl 1t j. finally, settled tAer5

or bcnel ciaries OF the wrong TO devise rcmed es:
But wien those who condemn the wrong shall
have the power. they must devise Tho measure
which shall render arcpctitlOn of the wrong
forever iinpUssiDc.'
Mr. HENDRICKS was no loss emphatic than
Mr.. TILDEN in his words On this subject.
Said he:
