MRS. LANGTRY'S CLOTHES.

Mr. Worth has been busy making some
dozen or so stage costumes for Mrs. Lang
try. The richest materials go to COM
pose them as beauty unadorned is no
longer the rule on the boards, but rather
adorned with much splendor apd mag
nifcerce. There are two ~beauti-
full ball dresses among the number. One
is composed of white satin and violet
velvet; the satin tablier is studded with
violets and pansies applique, so that they
stand in high relief; the satin panels are
lined with violet velvet, while wide
velvet sash crosses the hips and falls on
the satin train; the velvet bodice is
trimmed with pansies A second ball
dress consists of skirt of large gold
leaves on white velvet ground; the
bodice, train and sasn are pale pink vel
vet, trinmed with roses and pearl fringe,
There are two outdoor costumes that
should be recorded. The skirt of the first
is mouse gray velvet, with lines of gold
braid round it; the cloth tunic is likewise
trimmed with gold braid, which plays an
important part on the velvet bodice, with
its jabot of old lace. A green velvet cos.
tune is totally different in style; round
it's skirt there is wide band of Impey-
an pheasant's feathers, the waistcoat and
revers being entirely of these metallic
plumes. that shine out with such brilliant
luster in blue, purple and green hues.
A reception dress in pink poplin and
satin is extremely original, and one Of
those flights of fancy in which M. Worth
INDUCES, and generally succeeds. The
trimmings are gold and black passementer
lie and large gold coins, and there are gole
epaulettes oD the pink poplin bodice

DISEASE IN FRUIT TREEs.-It has
been discovered by Dutch scientist that
the gum which collects on the branches
of certain trees-especially the cherry,
peach, plum and other bearing stcne
trees-is due to disease of the tree. The
disease is pronounced by highly organ
lied fungus, whose action causes the for
nation of the gum, and it is quickly
reproduced in sound trees when they are
inoculated with pieces of the gum con-
tanning any of the fungus.

Canada has been much agitated for
several months past, over a great tenn

"Scott act" Never has there been such

in favor of reform, and in nearly fifty
counties the act has been carried by, in

GENERAL GRANT EXPLAINs.-NEW
YORK, February 3.-General Grant, in
an interview to-day, said again that be
had been misunderstood in regard to bis
recent article on the battle of Shiloh.
General Grant said: "No reflection was
intended on the personal courage or zeal
of General A. Med. McCook, or the fight
ing qualities of his division. On the
contrary, [ expressly stated that bis diyi-
ion marched from twelve miles east of
Savannah, and bad been up all night eet>
ting from Savannah to the battle field and
as matter of fact they had been in a
heavy storm OF rain during the night
march. McCook's division did as good
service. perhaps, as any division in the
field on Monday, the 7th, and on one
occasion during that day an opportunity
fell TO it to do service which received
special commendation in the official
reports of General Sherman and two
other general officers of the Armv OF the
Tennessee. The only thing | can see in
my article that can be construed as re-
fectipg upon McCook, although it was
not SO intended by me, is the statement
that the request not to he sent in pursuit
did not come from the officers and men
of the division, bat from the commander.
What NJ Cook said was correct: his men
should not have. .Oeen sent in pursuit. and
| acted on his advice and did not send
them. The article shews this"

Sir Dilke's Scandal.

In order to mitigate the disastrous effects of the
Crawrord-Dilke scandal, Liberals are circulating
statement that 81, Dixie denies that he had
criminal intercourse with Mrs. Crawford, and that
the lady herself had withdrawn the confession
msde to her husband and when in the witness
box wilfdtclare that the confession was not true
and was made under hysterical delusjons. Mr..
Crawlord's friends insist that he has evidence
apart from his wifcs confession, but say that he
will not pcrsevere in the sction unless convinced
that it is perfectly justifable and absolutely
cessarg. The trial will be the last of heavy list
to be heard in the divorce ourts in December.
The name OF Sir Charles Dixie has been OK
plunged from the list Of speakers for the coming
electoral campaign. Sir Charles will pass the au
tumn at villa near Toulon. He has written to
his constituents, denying the truth of the accusa
ton brought against him and asking their fore
bcaTancc until the trial of the divorce case, which,
he says he awaits with confidence.

MP. KEILEY,S REJECTION.

| I have learned from high official source the
trnr story of the rejection of Kelley by tho Aus
| TRAN Government, and the action taken by the
Administration in reply. 1t has been widely pub
! lished that the Austrian Government gavo no
reason for the rejection OF Kelley. 4 his report
is incorrect One reason was given in a diplo-
matte note submitted by Secretary Bayard at the
Cabinet meeting on Thursday last This message
came from the Austrian foreign office through
Baron Won Schaefer. This note gives as reason
for declining to receive Kelley that his wife is a
Jcwcss and according to Austrian etiquette she
| could not be received mt the Vienna Court. This
court does not recognize the legality of marriages
between lews and Catholics. The note is very
uolite but equally decided. 1t carefully ignores
| tho strongest reasons for re ecting kciiey-his
| having given offence to the Italian Government.
| This. cpiste from the Vienna authorities has
given Mr.. Bayard his opportunity. He has pre-
pared very spirited reply, which he read Mt the
Cabinet meeting Thursday. he takes very high
ground and gives tho Austrian Government
very severe diplomatic document He expresses
great SURPRISE in this day religious liberty, at
the exhibition of religious intolerance shown by
the Austrian Government He dwclls upon the
fact that the objection made is one that this conn

MP WISE ON TIE DEBT QUESTION
To the Editor of the Ne,v York Times:
~cT1:.-:..:. L

To the Editor of the Neav York Times:
Mr.. John S. Wise, of Virginia, is reported
in The Times Of the 3lsL ult. as saying:
"We are going to make it hot for the
democrats on several lines. They have got
US all in trouble over our State debt again.
The readjuster party rose up and gained
control of Virginia because it represented
the popular idea on the debt question. We
enacted such laws as would have settled
the question fairly and finally, and would
have saved the people from the unjust bur-
dens which the flinders were trying to i'm
pose on them. All was moving along beau
tifully when ia came a democratic Legisla-
ture and forced on us lot of statutes TO
co operate with those we had already pass
ed. They had come over to our platform
on the debt question: and were trying 10
rob us Of the glory of lis successful solution.
They have made pretty mess OF it. 1t
was on the legislation of this democratic
Legislature that the Supreme Court of the
United States made lis recent decision de-
claring the coupons of our bonds receivable
for taxes"
There are many things here stated and
suggested which might merit remark, but |
am only concerned now with the closing
remark, which begin by saying is totally
and demonstrably untrue in every sense.
If Mr.. Wise were not q Virginia lawyer and
presumably perfectly familiar with the de-
| cision of the Supreme Court to which he
refers, his statement might be regarded as
| blunder, or at worst Il careless repetition
of current misstatement; bur- being Vir-
! ginia lawyer, il be is here correctly report
ed, as have no doubt he il, lie has done
more than to blunder or to misrepresent.
The decision to which he refers is the case
OF PoindeXter against Grsonhow. and is re
ported in III Q. :. Rep, p. 270-306. With
out going into any detaiIs-details are not
necessary at ALL will state that this de-
cision turns, and turns only, on readjuster
| legislation, namely, the act of the Virginia
readjuster Legislature of January 26, 1882,
the same Legislature which just twelve days
earlier passed the act which was adjndged
not unconstitutional by the same court in
antoni against Greenhow (l07 u. S. Rep,
1G9.l. The sad and shameful story of this
| legislation need not be repeated for infor-

cratic legislation, it is well, think, that

metaphor, should be lifted 10 mail the false
coin to The counter" 1t is not true that
democratic legislation was in question in
the case of PoindeXter against Greenhow,
and it is true that readiuster legislation was

The young couple were married about three

the wife applied for and received divorce

their separation he has been jealous of any

YOU'VE CARpENTER.-Thomas W. Carpen

Young CONGRATULATIONS W. Carpen-
ter, the young man who robbed Mr. Mark
Downey of $4,000 in valuable bonds about
two weeks ago, returned to Richmond on
Saturday. He expresses his determination
to restore to Mr.. Mark Downey every dol.
lar he took from him. One Of the first
things he did after visiting his family and
consulting with his counsel was to restore
to that gentleman fifteen thousand dollars Of
the stolen money. Five thousand dollars
more was left by Carpenter in letter to Mr..
Schoolcraft to repay that gentleman for
what he confessed in that letter he had
taken at different times from him. That
money was turned over by Mr.. Schoolcraft
to Mr. Downey. There Is still deficit of
some sixteen thousand dollars in theamodnt
of that genlleman's loss. Carpenter has
a cosy little home, worth some four or
five thousand dollars. This is decided to his
wife and children. II the legal farmalities
can be arranged, it is believed that the wife
will gladly surrender this homestead to make
restoration to those whom he has wronged.
Tt is hardly probable that restoration Of the
money to it's owners can save Carpenter
from the punishment provided by law for
his crime.
