Tho New York Tribune tells US that as soon
as Congress meets ngain bill will be intro
dueed creating new silver dollar, to contain
4S0 grains OF silver, which. at the present
value OF silver, Is exactly equivalent to the
gold dollar. To this new silver dollar the
Tribune evidently leans; 1t Is one that will
prove popular In the East. When Congress
10 through with financial legislation this
country will have, beyond doubt, the queerest
and most ridiculous currency Of any In the
world. We have already one gold, two pa
per and two silver dollars, and now third
silver and goloid dollar are proposed The
Western papers may complain that there are
not enough silver dollars In circulation, but
they can scarcely complain Of q lack OF
variety In our silver currency.

PARIS FASHIONS.
tHarper's Bazar.l

The fashions now are fully decided-short
costumes for walking and morning wear, half
long dresses for the afternoon and visiting,
and long trained dresses for dinners and ever
ing reunions. Unfortunately these distinc-
tions are too sensible and convenient for US
to hope that they will be lasting. The short
and long dresses, instead OF dwelling together
in peace, each occupying its own special
ground-the one the street, and the other the
drawing room-are sure to engage In strife
for the purpose OF selling the prize In store.
1t is difficult to predict the result OF the BATTLE
but / am very much afraid that the short
dresses will conquer. l say afraid, because,
although greatly favoring the short dress in
its proper place-the street, or garden prone
nade-it Is out OF place and ungraceful at
evening in the drawing room. Nevertheless,
short ball dresses are already In preparation.
Hitherto, also, paniers which swell the dress
on the hips have been reserved for evening
wear; but toilettes for full-dress calls (which,
In Paris, are made from to 7 In the EVENING"
are now made with them. Elegance here,
in fact, has its fixed times and seasons. Who
ever disregards these little niceties, or is
wanting ia them, is Immediately, debarred
from the circle OF elegance. A lady who
should appear overdressed on foot In the
street would at once be regarded with curiosity
and surprise. It would be said OF her, "She Is
foreigner, who has come too late for the Ex-
position" In the morning, until 3 o'clock,
wooden dresses OF q Ozark color, with very
little inconspicuous trimming, should alone be
worn for walking. The wrap Tor young girls
and young ladies' Is cloth jacket, nearly
tight-iitting, and generally double-breasted.
For older ladies visite OF silk or wool, wad-
ded or lined with fur, is chosen; After 8
o'clock every thing Is changed. Velvet silk,
handsome furs, and bonnets trimmed with
rich feathers have the right to circulate with
out exciting censure For dinners and the
evenings there are toilettes In light colors,
with open corsages, fichus of white lace, or lace
embroidered in silk, gloves embroidered with
gold or silver thread, jewels, flowers. and, in
word, everything pertaining to full dress.

Some diplomatic correspondence Just pub
lished at Washington shows that the admin
istration takes great interest In Grants
foreign travels, and Is doing all In Its power
to make the receptions rendered him abroad a
success. In other words. our representatives
abroad, minister's consuls, ETC., have been In
struoted to use the power and influence of the
government for Grants benefit. to persuade
foreign potentates, officials, etc. that the
wandering Ulysses is representative Of the
United States and should be treated AZ such.
In view OF Hayes recently expressed prefer
ence for Grant as his successor. this looks
very much as II he was violating his cele-
brated order No. I and using the influence OF
the government to advance the interests of
his faYorite candidate.

The latest move in legislation In connection
with the Texas Pacific Railroad Company Is
an amendment to Senator Morgan's bill APP
propriating s50o00o0 for bridge over the
Mississippi river at Memphis. We are in
clined to think that the entire Southern por-
ton OF the Mississippi valley will object to
this or to any more bridges over tho river
The bridge at st. Louis Is enough and more
than enough. 1t has proved monstrous
financial failure, wrecking the fortunes Of
every one connected with it; has been twice
sold, bringing the last time the ridiculousiy
small sum of 100000. 1t is time that the
steamboat interests Of the Mississippi valley
should have some protection, and that the
river should not be damned up by useless
and unnecessary bridges.

The report OF the commercial transactions
Of this country for the past twelve months is
most tiattering. The balance OF trade In our
favor is $3o9, 800, TAI, an increase OF more than
100 per cent over last year. As for gold, we
imported more than we exported, for the first
time since 1861. With such showing 1t
ought not to be long before this country en-
Joys its old prosperity.
