IT'S ENGLISH.

Britannia rules the wave and the British lion is walking proudly about on the Queens Club grounds. This part of the world is especially interested in the proud peregrinations of the lion. Of course it is impossible to explain why that lion is permitted to feel as big as he does except on the theory that whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. We have thought, too, that there may pos sibly be subtle though unperceived connection between the English lan- guage and athletics. It is well known that at Yale little attention is paid to the study or use of the English language, and it is also well known that at Oxford the English language is prop erly respected. And can it not be that the genius of that language fixed things with the genius of athletics so as to ad- minister fitting rebuke to the repre- sentatives of the highest learning of this country who, claiming to be part of the English race, had the gall to contend in athletic games on Eng fish soil without being trained to speak and write the English language as the should be written and spoken? If it should be discovered that this is the true state of affairs good will flow from the discovery, for Yale could have no stronger incentive to the study and use of English than the feeling that in time a band of her athletes, skilled in Eng fish speech and writing, might make that British lion, which is now so cockily treading the Queens Club grounds, drop it's tail between its legs and slink away in the shade made by the American eagle as that noble bird was soaring gloriously sunward.
 We believe it would pay Yale to study the English language, even if she were never permitted to win in athletic con- tests on English soil. She might be able to defeat Harvard in literary con- tests, and then no boy who might be picking out school to go to need go to Harv ard. All the boys could come to Yale, which would be first on water,
 first on land, and first in the journey toward the stars.

 The chief attraction of Narra gansett
 continues to be the bathing beach
 There is no other such beach within
 easy distance of New York, On the
 Jersey and the Long Island coasts
 the sand is soft. the beaches are
 trsacherous and the surf is dangerous Here the sand is hard. the beach Is
 shelving and the surf Is moderate.
 The bathing houses. too. are large. cool and well ordered. A dollar and a
 half for weeks exclusive use or a
 bathing room Is reasonable. At Block
 Island you pay nearly twice as much
 for very inferior accommodations. and
 are in danger of smashing your toes
 against boulders. There Is life-boat
 on the look out for accidents. and all
 the paraphernalia of rescue Is at hand.
 One nuisance should be abated. There
 are innumerable shelter tents all up
 and down the beach. each one bearing the inscription Private" It has be- come quite the thing to have your own tent and sit under 1t during the bath ing hour. These tents have so in- creased that they are offensive. and the public Is beginning to call loudly for their suppression. Sherry has the Casl- no this year. Prices are higher; prom
 ises more roseate. Evidences of the lat n ra in the
 looks and talk of visitors If the pock- cts of all have not been touched they

 little jollity. People are apprehensive; more inclined to be sad than to be mer- ry Narragansett is not the place for
 novelties, and the old things do not af- ford their expected cheer. The gloom
 which overshadows both continents Is reflected in every face you meet You are conscious of a strange depression. | The skies and the waves are as bright | as ever. Ladies' dresses are gayer than
 ever; bright winged yachts come and go, but faces are long; laughter is forced Even the very young, starting
 in with a first season, are quiet and staid, and their mammas are wonder ing what can be the matter. The pa pers still tell you that "among those present were', but they are sad lot
 and the papers had better leave their l names out. The -fashionables still
 sail over from Newport and strut up
 and down the beach, showing off the very latest French extravagances, as If | at a country fair, but they fall to at- l fra ct the attention for which they long,

 1t be that we are coming to one of the
 dread periods in the worlds history? PERIANDER.

How tho Cockchafer Lost and Found
 Poaching Trnwler.

Poaching Trnwler.
 From the Westminster Gazettel
 Yesterday the Lerwiek authorities ap- prehended and lodged in jail the master of the steam trawler Stephenson Of North Shields, which was captured on the coast of Foula. Shetland, by her majesty's gunboat Cockchafer, while engaged in trawling within the three- mile limit The trawl was confiscated. but the vessel was allowed to go. The capture was one of the most exciting character. The Cockchafer, command ed by Lieutenant Evans, left Lerwick on Tuesday last in consequence Of re- ports that trawlers were working on the coast of Foula. and reached the is- land on Wednesday. but fog prevailed, and no trace of illicit fishers could be seen. After the Cockchafer had an- chored, information was received that trawler was at work on the west side of the island, and two boats put off-one commanded by Lieutenant Evans and the other by the mate.
 The next morning the fog lifted, and lHe Hld dlS DULL SdW tiiS U "iSA "SAN ing close to the rocks, and called upon her to surrender. Though rifle shots were fired at her. however. the trawler cut her trawl ropes and steamed away. Just then the Cockchafer appeared on the scene and gave chase, but as she had to pick up her boats, the trawler got a good start. The gunboat fired two blank shots, and then her fourteen pounders were loaded and fired, but the distance was to great for the shots to take effect, and the master of the trawl- CT held steadily on his course. On reaching the Orkney coast, the fisher, taking advantage of her smaller draught, entered Calf Sound, where the pursuer was unable to follow, and, a fog coming on, the government vessel returned by easy stages to seize the trawl.
 The trawler, with great daring, had also returned for the same purpose, but the fog again lifted, and the yes sells found themselves almost close to- gether The gunboat fired shot across the bows of the smaller vessel, and the master, seeing that escape was hope less, surrendered. Yesterday morn ing the master, Matthew Tilford, was charged, before Sheriff Sherman, with trawling within the three-mile limit and pleaded guilty. The court imposed fine of fS5, with the option of fifty days imprisonment, and highly com- plimented the commander and crew of the Cockchafer.

 At hide-and-seek
 On her dainty cheek The dreams and the dimples play3 Then it's sleep in the tender kisses The guardian angels bring From the far above to my sweetest love- You cunn1n' little thing!

 Current modes show considerable vogue for dresses of two different col- ors and materials the darker being for the bodice, the lighter for the skirt epaulettes, undersleeves and so on. There is a great fancy, too, for flow cred goods of the Dolly Warden" type. These are much used for long over skirts, and for elaboration of the bod ice, which is made of a material to har- monize with one of the darker shades in the lowered goods, the underskirt matching the bodice. Overslxirts are coming into great favor They are as long as the skirt, are draped by g box pleat on each hip to hang to the knee on either side, and just in front comes a slight lift of the goods by a punching of drapery at point slightly below the knee. Sham skirts are part of the over skirt, especially with those 50 long that the underskirt appears as. little more than series Of ,frdlls showing Under the yandyked edgc of the upper skirt. v FIORETsrE.

FASHION NOTES,
Current Lace Usages.

Very wide vandyked lace makes love- ly overdrapery. The vandykes are of- ten deep enough to reach from the an- kles half way to the hips or even high CT. The lace is heavily figured about the points, and is delicate unfgured
 net elsewhere. The points are ar ranged to lie smoothly about the skirt, and the fitness at the top is gathered about the waist. Nothing could be prettier over a wash silk skirt, the bodice being elaborated with narrow vandyke lace for epaulettes and cuffs. Vandyked lace is used on the gown pie tured here, but in different way. The dress Is of brocaded satin, the plain

House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. ga
large number OF Democrats in the
House believe that the adop-
ton of the income tax as a part OF
the tariff bill will result in the de-
feat of the entire measure; that it
will be offered as an amendment.
There can be no doubt, provided
recognition is received from
Chairman Richardson. Some Of
the income tax men fear that such
a recognition may not be secured,
but it is pointed out that
10th Chairman Richardson
and Speaker Crisp favor the
income tax and would recog-
nize Mcmillan for the purpose
of offering the bill as an amend
ment. There seems to be little
doubt that the income tax will be
made a part Of the bill in the COM
mittee, as the Republicans will no
doubt be glad to see it so added.
They believe it would result in the
adoption of a motion to recommit
the bill.
The Democratic opponent of the
internal tax, who believes that the
internal revenue bill is to be Of
fered as an amendment to the tariff
bill, are determined in the pur-
suance of the policy adopt
ed at a meeting of the New
York delegation yesterday, to
throw every parliamentary
obstacle in the way. Accordingly,
as soon as the journal was read
this morning, Bourke Cochran, of
New York, made point of no quo
rum and the speaker, under the
rules was obliged to order a roll
call.

MIDST OF WINTER.

Ere the icy wave came through
Some were jolly some were blue.
But to all 1t can't be pleasing
Weather, sunny or freezing.
Plumbers now are all In clover,
Busted pipes the town all over.
IT'S an i'll wind don't you know
Luck to some that don't blow.
Twas very pleasant thing
Midst of winter to have spring,
Birds caroling sweetest lays
When we had those balmy days.
Grass and shrubbery were agreening,
While warm days were intervening,
Buds and petals opening peeping.
Old Jack Frost was only sleeping.
Merchants they were sadly wailing,
Winter goods were loss entailing,
Wood and coal men, grown meeker,
Pray'd for nOrtherS. colder, bleaker.
And the ladies, precious things.
Weather warm for them had StingS,
Lovely furS, so costly, some
Were pack'd away in camphOr gum.
Tourist Mangus loved to roam
From his Icy Snow-clad home
And be thought it queerGSt thing
Midst winter TO find spring.
Even the BuTO calmly grazing
Thought the weather quite amazing,
Billy Goat with flowry treSses
Wood the sunbeam's warm caresseS.
Man with cakes and frozen cream
Realized his fOn lest dream.
And the ice man he'd begin ter
Freeze his water here ia winter.

New ORLEANS, La, Jan. %
Glenny & Co. say: Liverpool spot

terday's closing. March futures,
in New Orleans, 7.4S; May
1857, which is an advance of 10
points, from early prices. The i'm
provement in the market is due
mainly to some large operators in
New York, buying heavily in an
ticipation of the falling off in re-
ceipts. OF this there is no indica-
ton at present as receipts continue
to be liberal at ports and interior
towns, and are ahead of last year
