NEW YORK,S WAR AIM.

New York city has big war claim is to be made to collect it. The corpora ton counsel has been instructed by the board of aldermen to attend to the mat ter. When Major Anderson evacuated Fort Sumter he and his command came to New York city, and on the day after their arrival there was great mass meet ing in Union square. On the day fol- lowing, April 21, the common council appropriated one million dollars "to fit out volunteers and to aid in the provision of their families during their absence, to raise troops, fit out regiments, and fur nish arms and ammunition and military stores in aid of the government of the United States" The amount thus appro- raised by the issue of bonds of the city of New York, and was expended for the purposes named by the Union Defence committee, which was composed of the mayor, the comptroller, the president of the board of aldermen, and the president of the common council. Only part of the sum thus ap- propriated has been repaid, the sum amounting to s104, ,429.79 Some of this was paid in 1862, more in 1868. None has been paid since that time. The re- mainder of the million-dollar appropria- ton (sS95, ,57O.2D still remains unsettled; and in addition the sum of S1,397, ,0S9. g was paid by the city for interest on the bonds before their redemption, making the actual total expenditure, which has moi been refunded, over two million dollars.
 There is justice in the claim that New York city ought to share in the general re- funding, but it will probably be hard work to push such claim through congress even Democratic one.

ITALY,S ACTION.

The complication growing out of the killing of Italians in the New Orleans pris- on has reached very serious stage. On account of it's dissatisfaction the Italian government has recalled its minister to this country, Baron Fava, and he has ex- ment. It is not, perhaps, greatly to be wondered at that this step has been talk en. It is not surprising that Governor Nichols letter to Secretary Blaine was very unsatisfactory to the Italian minister and to his government. It did not offer much hope of such reparation as was de- manded. But we think that, in spite of all the provocation, the action of the Italian government has been nasty. Of course it knows the difficult position occupied by the federal government in this matter. As things go in this country, the general government can do very little toward redressing wrongs done foreign powers by State. It is not to blame for the delay of Louisiana in answering Italy's demands. Under the circumstances it is no wonder that the State department was surprised by Minister Fava's action.
 What the next step will be remains to be seen. Of course the general government will do all it can to give Italy satisfaction. But it is not to be denied that the condi- tion of affairs is well calculated to exasper- ate Italy

A Man Under n Cloud.

New 1ork Letter to the Chicago News
 At a table crowded with journalistic lights and literary fellers' saw a dark eyed man, his face ornamented with very black whiskers, who some one behind me told some one else was Washington Ma than. sfYou all remember the famous Nathan murder, over which there was so much excitement and such long trial a good many years ago." this somebody ex- plained in discreetly lowered tone. "Well, sir, Washington Nathan is the son of that rich old man who was killed in his bed There were ugly insinuations cast about at the time of the trial, but nothing was proved, and when the great Twenty third street family mansion had been shut up a sufficient length of time the heirs tried to rent it.

The Fashions.

From the New York Evening Postl
 India silks with satin finish are i'm ported.
 Wool surah, a new dress fabric, is al most as light and delicate as the silken material
 India is the name of a new street shade in silk and wool fabrics. It is tint be- tween a crimson dahlia and 8 deep plumb color, and it is becoming to women both fair and dark. Gloves are imported in shades to match this color.
 Slight draperies appear upon the latest sheath dress-skirts from over the sea, and strong reaction has begun against the too plain, too clinging French skirt of the past season.
 Gold galloon studded with mock gems is favorite garniture for tea-gowns and others dresses designed strictly for home wear Some of the elegant evening toilets are studded with mock gems, and white silk chiffon dotted all over with French brilliants and draped over white moire shot with silver is one of the Cart" crea- tions sent from a noted English house. The French corsage without darts, save those in the tight waist-lining, is very gen erally adopted for thin summer toilets. It has usually only two seams visible-those under the arms; but when the figure is stout gracefully arch side seam is added in the back. Round waists appear even upon handsome evening dresses, but these are not always becoming, and use is made of the fashionable corsage that is slightly elongated, waist that is neither a round one nor one finished with basques, but something between the two, extending be- Il Il II, @s,,N f-o,, ,% | and back, the fullness from the shoulder l being hattened there in small pleats. Among the dress-models for summer is one from London designer made of flow | er-striped black silk grenadine, the flower devices in fne-cut jet. The grown is trimmed with quanties of very beautiful black silk Calais lace, with ruches of the new taffeta silk and the lace. This silk is an exact reproduction of the old-fashioned | glace revived in company with the pinked out ruches of other days. A f1ounce in panier effect falls from the waist and is headed by a shell trimming of cut jet | Special jet ornaments are on the bodice | and sleeves.
 | There is again rage for trimming laces
 of every width, device and line, and very
 beautiful dress-nets can be purchased tc

the demolition of their furnaces if they persisted in transgressing. A law was finally passed making it capital offense to burn coal in the city, and only permit ting it to be used by forges in the vincini- ty. It is stated that among the records in the Tower of London a document was found, according to which a man was hanged in the time of Edward I for no other crime than having been caught burn ing coal.
 The publication of Talleyrand's memoirs has led Philsdelphians to hunt for traces of his residence in their city. None of the houses in which he lived are now standing, however. The Philadelphia Times says: "Talleyrand was entirely deprived of any income from France while here, and it is we'll known that he was quite poor; and there is tradition, which has been given considerable credence, that he kept a shop for the sale of buttons. But it Is unlikely that he engaged in any business, as his residence in this city was not sufficiently prolonged. It is to be surmised that this tradition might have been founded on the fact that his rooms at the corner of Second street and Drinkers alley were over a store where buttons and other commodities were sold, and it is probable that in the absence of the proprietor the diplomat might have attended shop occasionally"
 The census will show the astonishing in crease in grape products which has taken place in this country. The grape indus try already represents an outlay, for land, improvements and machinery of S155, 661 ,150, and furnishes employment to 200, 7s0 persons. In 1889, 40l ,261 acres were devoted to vines, of which 307 ,575 acres were in bearing, producing 512, 139 tons of grapes. Of this product, 267, ,27l tons were table grapes, 240, ,450 tons were made into 24, ,2O6, ,9O5 gallons of wine, A. 166 tons became 1, ,372, 195 boxes of ra'sins and g, 252 tons were dried. California is devoting increasing attention to raisins and the yield is expected to reach {, ,000,- 900 or 10, ,000, 900 boxes during the next five years. The wines of California are fast making their way in competition with European wines, and Arizona claims to turn out sherries which equal the best i'm ported from Spain.

 It is often asserted that Woman is not an inventor of anything but plausible stories, but among the unusual inventions patented by women are improved bottle stopper, improved method of fastening | door knobs to their spindles, an appliance for plucking hair to be used in the dress ing of furs, improved method of prepar-. ing leather for the soles of boots and shoes, for improvements in electric arc lamps and for more reliable indicators, specially applicable for use on the rolling stock of railroads.
 A commendable bill has been introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature. It might be called the anti-freak bill, and is de- scribed as ''an act to prevent the exhibi- ton of physical maladies, infirmities and deformities as source of pecuniary gain. !" It is one of the strangest things in the world that any one would be willing to pay money to see such objects, but the most revolting malformations, the most repugnant freaks of nature, appear to have 8 powerful attraction for large class of people.
