Farewell to the Bustle.

Edmund Yates in the New York Tribune.
The variety of color at the Marlborough
house was extraordinary, but the dresses were
more simple and much less extravagant than in
former years. The party was interesting from
an esthetic point Of view, as it marked the
epoch of the entire abandonment of the fashion
which for many years decided that ladies'
gowns were to have an artificial excrescence
behind. Every one, with very few exceptions,
wore perfectly plain skirts with little or no
trimming. and as fiat behind as in 'front.'

THE FALL OF THE BASTILE.
A Big Celebration I'm Washington Park,
New York.President HarrisOn's Tribute

$500
The French citizens Of New York and vicin-
ity yesterday began the one hundredth anniver-
sary Of the fall Of the bastile with Q grand re-
ception and concert at Washington park. The
exercises opened with an official reception to
Consul-General Bruwaert, in which Mr.. Henry
Maillard, president of the French centennial
committee, made the address Of welcome.
Letters Of regret were read from President
Carnot, Ferdinand de Lesseps, F. R. Coudert,
Mayor Grant, Governor Hill, Grover Cleveland,
President Harrison and Vice-President Levi P.
Morton.
President Harrisons letter was: May the
homes Of France be perpetually filled with
prosperity, contentment and peace. May
the French republic ever live in honor among
the nations and the steadfast love of its citi-
zens.
Levi P. Morton's letter: have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt Of your esteemed
favor OF the S1st ultimo, and thank you for
the complimentary terms in which it is
couched. You are quite correct in assuming
my unaltering friendship for the land Of your
birth. All the children Of the American revo-
luton were taught to love the fair land of
France, and to revere and honor the great men
she sent us, who SO freely offered their lives
and fortunes in our struggle for freedom.
may therefore say that my affection for France
was hereditary sentiment, and the kindness
which received during my official residence
in Paris not only served to create many warm
friendships, but to increase my interest in your
native land offer you, gentlemen. my heart
felt congratulations on the grand achievements
OF your country during the century which
has passed since its birth to freedom. and
my best wishes for the happiness and pros
perlty OF the people OF our sister republic in
the old world.
Ex-President Cleveland wrote: ~ send the
Following sentiment The friendship which has
SO long existed between the United States and
France Is made more sacred and binding by
their common devotion to the doctrine of the
popular rule, and by the mission they have
undertaken to demonstrate the fitness of man
kind for self-government."
THE CELEBRATION IN PARIS.
The one hundredth anniversary Of the fall
OF the Bastile was celebrated by public meetings
and fetes in Paris and throughout the pro-
vlnces. Transparencies bearing representations
OF Gen. Boulanger were displayed in the win
dows OF the League of Patriots and other Bou-
langlst resorts. These devices called forth
few hootings from passersby but with the ex-
ception of the disorders in the Place de la Con-
corde and at the Office of La Presse the day
passed off without disturbances Of any kind.
The fireworks at the fetes last evening were
somewhat marred by rain, but the Place de la
Concorde, the Champs Elysees, the Bots de
Boulogne, the Eiffel Tower, and the Trocadero
Palace were a blaze of light. At midnight
thousands OF persons thronged the Bots de
Boulogne and there was no sign of any abate-
ment of the fun.

uon that there was anything in tho
way of a racial difference shown by
the construction of these earthworks.
Mr.. Fowke also criticises another
opinion concerning the mound build-
ers, which was to tho effect that they
were very much moro numerous than
the Indians OF this country at the time
of its settlement by the whites. Most
of those who have made careful
study of the ground will also feel dis
posed to agree with him in this criti-
cism.
The fact appears to be that our In
dian tribes, at least in tho Mississippi
valley, were few centuries ago rather
more sedentary than they were at the
time when they were first seen by the
whites. have myself had occasion
to note the fact that during the mound
building period the buffalo was not
accessible to tho aborigines, that beast
at that timo probably not having made
his way east of the Mississippi river.
When the herds of this animal became
abundant in the Ohio and upper Mis-
sissippi valleys, the people appear 10 a
great extent to have abandoned agri-
culture and betaken themselves 10 the
easier support which the chase Of this
creature afforded them. There is
hardly any doubt that the aborigines
of North America were of substap-
TALLY the same race and with much
tho same habits as our well known
Indians. IN. 8. Shaler in Boston Her.
