The Season Continued in Spite of Fashion's Fiat~--Paris Furnishing Ol Things under New Names. ¥ A Latest Novelty in Flounces--- Threatened Invasion of Fem- inine Trousers. Hats and Bonnets to Be Reduced in Altitude~-The Coat-Sleeve b Frem Our Ouwn Correspondent. New Youx, Feb. 18, 1874 As you know, of course, the season is over. "To be sure, there are nightly balls and parties, receptions &nd Lettledrums; bat, if you be so- cicty-wise, you are aware that the scason ends with the Charity Bell, which took place two weeks 2go. Al sorts of entertainments have beor given since then, and will be given, until people beople begin to think of going away for the summer. Bat towhat period they belong, T am unable to say; forIam told that the season snded with the rolling away of the last carriage 3n the morning after the * Charity.” The bell setted forits eleemosynary object a few thon- ands of doliars; the costumes exhibited in the. aame of benevolence cost hundredsof thousands. Dn the whole, you see, there is nothing like do- mg good in your fine feathers; the effect is 5o <uch more imposing than when you only wear tpaca or calico at your alme-giving. LENT I8 BEGDYX, and now all fasbionable attention is divided be- tween reflection on the vanity of all earthly things, and a conscientious coneideration of summer-wardrobes. If it were not for Lent, I am really unable to perceive how the fair Man- hattanese conld be gotten ready for the fresh wooda and pastures new which they bavein prospect after Easter. As it is, they spring forth from the forty days of seclusion like so many modish Minarvas, full clad for vernal vie- tories. PABISIAX CONTRADICTIONS. Paris is » little backward this year with her hints and her prophecies; o it is fair to sup- pose that no startling changes are to be made. Having declared tne polonaise unequivocally dead, she proceeds to resuscitato it in all sorts of shapes and styles. Not that she calls it the polonaise; Pans never forgets her own edicts ; bat, were it not called a jacket, & long basque, s paletot, s frock-coat, and sundry other namos, I doubt mnot you womld be- lieve it the same old polonaise you have bacn 0 long intimate with. It is likely to be an economical mode for us, since, in many cases, the poloneise of last year can b easily cat over into a jacket of this. ~ The chief characteristic of TEE XEW UPPER DEESS is, that its lower odge is always irregular. Some- tunes, the back ruus down in two long coat- tails, like a dress-coat; while, on the hips and sides, it is ehort. Again, tho front is cut.with long tab-ends, while the back is little more than » jockey-basque lying lightly on tho tournure, ‘where it meets the flounces that cover the back of the skirt. A third style shows long, Equare taba on either hip, reaching, frequently, nearly tothe edge of the dresa; while tho front end back wili be shorter, but not the same length. With these jackets, the skirts are trimmed a good deal, generally in different wavs on the front and back. - Nothiog can be uglier than soms of these combinations, or more inartistic than the fashion itself. Imagine, for instance, the three front-breadths covered with perpen- dicular folds, and the back with horizontal flounces, carrying the conviction that parts of two gowns had been accidentally put together, and that there had been ©o time to remedy the mistake before the owner was obliged to wear it. ‘The reverze of this trimming is fashionable, but it always looks £s if the dress were on Wrong eide before; =nd you cannot tell which of the two is the most inolegant, except that the last you sec always leaves the stronger and moro ua- favorablo impressicn. If anything boa KOYELTY IN FLOUNCES, it is the very broad Spanish flounce which dress- ‘makers are using, and will nso very much, both ou gtreet and house dresses. Sometimes, it is pearly threo-quarters of a yard deep, raroly less than sixteen ioches. It differs from the old Bpanish flonnce in that it is set on the skirts, in- etead of the skirt being cut off at the knee, and ; the flouncs put upon the edge. Tho edge of the flounce is generally hemmed by hand,—the the French finish of piping or cording the hem being a trifle passe ; and then decorations of va- rions kinds, such as bands, narrow rufles, puffs, leaves of silk jet, passementerie, ~ etc., sre sowed on_above, till the flounce ‘becomes merely a backgronnd to display the in- genuity of the modiste npon. A model of this stylois in this wise: Flounce three-quariers of & vard wide; the bottom faced with velvet three- eighths wide. Heading the velvet is & double puff of ek, divided by a velvet cord,—the edge of the lower puff finished by an inch-wide silk ruffle, and the edge of the Gpper puff by & vel- vet rufile, Above the puff is s finger-wide space, and then a wreath of silk leaves bound with velvet. The top of the flounce is faced with velvet, and plaited on in shells, which turn back and show the velvet lining. It is s work of supererogation to put any more ornamentation on _ & & 50 mearly covered byzo over-decked a flounce ; but mantua- malkers aro accustomed to uupcrurogmi? labors in behalf of their capricions mistress, Fashion. Therefore, despite the fact that the jacket near- Iy moets the flounce, &_sash of peculiar con- struction is zdded. A piece of crinoline is cut almest in half-moon shaps (only the’ carve is shallower and the points not_ 80 sharp),’and on this is tacked, in mide-plaits, turning up, a straight breadth of silk. One end of this crescent is fastened on the second seam on the 1eft side, about ten or twelve inches from the belt. As the jacket coversthis termination, pothing is required in the bow line; bu when the eash has been carrie across the front breadth, and socured, just in the middle of the second gore, st the top of the flounce, tha loose end—fringed a fivger deep—is drawn through an immense jet buckle, ‘Whether this ekiri-design be admirable or not, it is likely to be one of the most fashionablo of the spring modes, and namerous suits in this style are already in preparation, to s{:pan after Easter. 1t is plzinly intended for tall or moder- stely tall women, for they slone can carry it well. The broken surfacé of the deep flounce makes a short woman look like a pigmy. The sole variety of this which 8 woman of low stature can afford to wear is an untrimmed flonnce, and even this is of questionable wisdom. (CONVENTIOSALITY INVADED. e bave been aceustomed to regard the Bloom- er dress as the type of the most advanced ideas ip relation to fewinize attire. Scoffers have ridiculed it; fashionable people have eyed it asknoce; wiseacres have shakon their heads over the innovation, and declared it wonldn't do for modest women to wear any such semi-mas- culine garh. _ And soeven tho few devoted be- lievers in its bygienic desirability have sadly, but finally, sbaadoned It. A rumor nsy, mors than s rumor, —comes from that chronicler of small beer. the re%rwr of toilettes, which as- serts that Iadies in Earope not only ought “:i but do, weer trousers! ~ Not the unprinciple Bloomer trousers, that were straight, and stiff, sad unbecoming.—and therefore improper,—but fall Tarkish trousers, of muslin and very sheer sambric, ‘rimmed with lsce, ruffics, ana em- broidery. They are made to reach the avkle; falls of fine lace dropping over the hoot—just imagine it in our streets—and as, of course, fhiair elegant eTect must not be lost upon the pbeerver, tha skirts are cut short enough to dm; play the frills to advantage. The * gushing” rdvocete of thess dispaneous garments do- Slare that nothing is 80 becoming to a handsome foot s this style that ia to be; but the advocate panses not to reflect upon the hardship of the feet that have euffered in the cause of pointed toes acd French heels, and are anything but protty in their “jointiness.” It is possiblo that fiis novelty is intended for suburban use only, sinca 14 is ~mentioned s having been meen in country-places alome; an the thonght immediately suggests itself that tho fancy originated in the brain of some unhsppy Parisienns, who, unable to spend the winter in the Capital, is devising and trying eome original habiliments which shail aid her to creste in the warm sezson the sensation she failed to create in the cold. . SIGKIFICANT s:ax:.n SR : the way the merchants urryin, lhfrrz:nmu of their last year’s goods, and the violent effort they cre making $0 get them off their hauds, cno is led to infer that the new goods will b really now in fabric sud_design. Shop-windows aro filled with cambrics sud musling that make ope sbiver, de- spite the almost unseasonably-warm weather. If you are not imperative about hav- ing your new gowns of the latest stuffs, you can fit_ yourself out for summer at s vory modest sum, and some thrifty souls are already laying in their summer-gupplics. 1t certainly does seem a trifle odd to go about . asking for calicoes and grenadines when you're srrapped up to your nose in furs, and shalke every timo a door is opencd. But_some_people sarc, as tho old folks say, 5o forehanded, and are, in comsoquence, always roady when the season arrives. 0ODDS AND ENDS.

Boads are very expensive trim- ming, both n first cost and general wear; con- sequently thoy are never long in fashion ; for, 88 a people, we do very liitle that doesu’t pay. The so-called India-silx handkerchiefs with bright borders,—i, e. linen lawn with bands of Chuna-silk stitched on per sowing-machino—sre not, and never have beea, popular. They aro dear to begin with, and s they will not wash nicely, they are very doar to end with. 1t ‘has become almost noiversal for ladies to wear a large _silk kerchief round their necks, under their cloaks, after the manner of their legal protectors. Those who can endure the trying white ones use them exclusively. and the régt, in the main, chooge blue.

In reviewing the various articles of comfort or Iuxury with which a Chicagoan surrounds him- sel, wo find ouo epecisl appanage of which, like most other of his fellow-mortals equally favared by fortune, he is very proud. This is THE EQUINE REPRESENTATIVE, that individually makes of life either & comfort ora care. When all gocs smoothly in the frame, brick, or stone edifice that accupies that portion of one's special housc-lot fronting on the alley, then life * is very sweet indeed. Let s suspicion of anything wrong, however, but & glance athwart the consciousness of tho owner, who resides in the largest cdifico,which is approached from tho street, and all the joys of lifo seem sorrows, its hopos disappointmonts, its roses poisonous weeds ; or, to speak more practically, ke is indifferent upon the subject of dinner. His soup may grow cold, his fish be- come sodden, Lis roast overdone; bat, with gublime recklessness, he answers all summons to leave the domicile of his fuur-footed favorite with an impatient * Don’t bother me ! Could man's interest further go? Were his wife very ill, bis faith in physician and nurse would appear sublime, so readily would he ac- cedo to their dicta regarding the matter. His dmner would still hold a principal place in his thoughts, and, if not ready on time, or not cooked to & tune, he would be quite able to express his opinion to the cook in emphatio terms. Ho could seek his offics, or go on "Change, quite satisfied that everything was be- ing done that could, snd leaving the result in the hands of a benoficent and overruling Providence. Quite logically, too, for, if he is neither Indian nor Spiritualist, he belicves in no happy hunting-grounds for his favorito & beatific apotheosis connected with it, as he L with the haman sharer of his joys and sor- rows. If his horsa dies, than, ho bas literally ceased to bo, excopt as certain practical results may be arrived at in the way of glue, buttons, phosphate, eotc.,—mere physical reminders. Then he feels that no other equine individual can ever suit him go woll. He has grown accus- tomed to his gait, knows just the feel of his mouth, can guide him by s word, and his high spirit never degenerates into temper. He had lezrned to love the beast 5o, he feels no inclination to try a new experiment. I it strange, thou, that, when the stables become a hospital, he should constitute himself head-nurse, forget that thoro is such a region as down-town, and hang upon the words of hope or despondency that fall from the lips of the attending “Vet™ with breathless intor- est? Surely not. Whet is a woman compared with a horso? No man pretends to comprehend & womau, Every man thinks he knows all about & horse. 3 Turning, however, for the present, from this all-absorbing theme, let us oa what the local demand is in the way of Juxurious or comfort- ablo cquipege, and abeut what it coats to keep up a proper establishmont, consistent with one’s social position, whether de facto or oaly aspired to. First, then, thero is THE ORDINARY BUGGY with which Patorfamilias drives down to busi- ness, and either puts up after he gots there, or leaves standing near the curb,—the horse in full harness, traces unhitched, and the animal either fastenod to a convenient ring in the side- walk, or anchored by & sill more con- venient weight, which is a part of the equipment like a ship's best bower,—makin; the busmess-streets of Cbicago, howerver, look very much like an overgrown willsge on a mar- ket-day, and conveying & vivid recollection of the stone which amateur fishermen on inland ponds are given to attach to the rope that an- wers for & haweer, and which they also carry with them for convenient anchorage. However, getting aside the provincialism of the procecd- ing. we find that theso vehicles, whother the high Top-Buggy for the active dyspoptio, or the lower Phaeton for the elder individual who has added a supplementary gout to his earlier ails, costs from $200 to 3325, when of thoroughly good make. Harness costs from $50 to $125; lap- robo from $10 to §50; blanket from 3430 to 850 ; ora special article at §150. Thus, tho mere original cost of this simple outfit may range from $264 t0 $650. In this meandering city, that sprawls sbout, North, South, snd West, like the arms of a Sepia, attaching itself with nnyielding grip to scre after acro of prairie, some individual conveyance seoms rather a ne- cessity thap s luxury, even Lo the poor man ; but from the sbove fgnres, which are quite inde- pendent of the locomotive power, it would seom necessity beyond lus reach. Next inorder comes MADAME'S PHAETON, withsingle harness. The original cost of this is from 325 to $500. The other adjuncts require sbout the same outlay as the husband's or fathor's; while the whip—an item not considered in the preceding estimate—may cost _either 75 conts Or any sum between that and $75. From £3 to 85, however, would srobnbly be about the lowest amonnt shich woald be expended in this direction. A double tesm would, of course, nearly doublo the cost of tho trappings. We find then, that a lady’s phaeton, single hamess, Total.eorvevsenensasans If wy lady drives a pair of ponies, then her establishment would represent 2498 to $1,450. Does ehe indulgo in equestrianism, then her saddle, bridle, etc., may bo inventoried at from $35 to $200. As rogards the carrisges and ha Dess, we are predicating the cost upon the prices of the best carriage-makers. e, to the accessories, we are quoting regn- 1ar local prices,and not exceptional fancies, which may increase the cost materially. The lap-robs, for iustance, may bo au elaborate piece of work- manship, and cost from §250 to £€500; while specialtios in the way of whips, coral-handled, gold-mounted, lace-parssoled, and otherwise gotten up withont regard to expenae, have been furnished at a cost of $500, and 80 on to $1,000. These, however, are the refiuements of luzury, the quintessoncé of extravagance. The highest robe that we have quoted was an article of In- dian manufacture, sold under price, and like the Deccea shawl. For Mrs. Shoddy's benetit we might suggest that, if sho is weary of trailing ber ©3,000 In- dian cashmere through a railway-car, it will be quite in keeping to useit for a lap-robe. As an original suggestion, she might also impress the less fortunate canallle with » sense of ber afflu- ence if she attached some of her superfluous dia~ monds to her horses’ ears. BASEET-PHAETONS cost from €200 to $350. As an advertisement by certain dealers they have occasionally been sol 88 low 03 $150; but this left no margin for any profit. It was merely to call attention to the more expensive work of the firm. As the family increases and the income grows ‘more ample, A FAMILY-CARRIAGE becomes & nocessity; not having yet reached that round in the social ladder which demands a coaschman, to say nothing of a footman and livery, with monograms on the harness and peendo coats-of-arme on the panels,—wondrous combinations of hersldic embleme, not often rivaling the quaint conceit of ¢tho fortunate manufacturer of snuff, whose emblem was an open snuff-box, couchant, with a thumb and finger rampant, and the appropriate motto : Who'd have thought it, Noses would have bought it? By no moans. *Bink the ehop” is the order of thio day, and we obey the martinet command withi the alacrity of the best-disciplined troops : Ours not to make reply, Qurs not to eazon why, Ours from the shop to ahy, Fashion's falr hundreds, The intermediate stage, however, only de- mands the family Rockaway for four or six people, the Victoris, or the Cabriolet. These all admit 'of being managed by some of the family or a lured attendant not of the| diose order. The vehicle itself will cost om £700 to $1,500; the harness from £200 to 8450, dependent npon the material and work. [f claborately etitched, ornsmented, and mounted with gold or silver, ‘it will reach the latter fig- ure; 80 we find that the vehicle in which a8 a family we take our conntitutionals requires a disbursement varying from £920 to $2,860, in- cluding the necossary paraphernalia. These figures give some ides of the ordinary expendi- ture which mee:s oor eye continnally as we walk abroad. ) At last, however, it if found that the old- fashioned Rockaway is not quite in keoping with its mansard roof. Madame thinks A coUPE < would be more in consonance with her social surroundings, and the old carrisge is devoted to the use of the nurso and children. Tbis costs, for tho vebiclo alons, from $1,000 to $1,250, New equipmonts will add from '§200 to $600; and thus we find the internal revenne catechiser may add another item of from $1,200 to 31,850 to his schedule of valaes. 3 8till evolving from what may havabeen origin- ally a hand-cart or & carrosse au poussiere, o find the next most deeirable vehicle to be A CLAREXNCE. These are worth about $1,500, but have been mado with extrs finish at an_outlay of £2,500. The necessary harness, etc.. to accompany this, will cost frora 250 to $900,—thus fixing the price of the new exponent of social and financial success, visiblo to the admiring or envious crowd who trudge through dust and mud, at figures ranzing from $1,750 to 33,400, ‘Tho favorite carringe with Chicagoans, how- ever, is THE LANDAULET, costing from 81,550 to $1,750 ; 2dding to which our estimates, we find the agzregate will reach from $1,800 to $2,650. Thia scems to take in about the entire variety of vebicles usually fur- nished by Chicago manufacturers to the local trade. OTHER VENICLES. ‘Phe Central-Park Driving-Phaoton, hung high, and fitted up for four-in-hand, costs from $900 031,200, Of course the extra expensesfor such an outfit will in certain items be doubled. The harness will cost from $400 to $1,500; lap- robes, blankets, etc., are also necessary in extra quantities; aud the entire outfit may be esti- matod a8 costing from $1,365 to $8,575. The English Drag Mail-Coach, sad Irish Jounting- Car, though not unfrequently scen East, have not yet added their extra items of extravagance to tho Weatern world. THE CHILDREX also have their specialtics, A Dog-Cart ou the Avenue attracied some atten- tion one day last week. It consisted of a small box on wheels, with a seat containing a 50-pound boy ; while in tho shafts, or rather by traces, was harnessed tho motor power in tho shape of a 30-vound dog. What we should think of seeing a 1,200-pound horse dras 2 2,000-pound man, were such a thing poesible, wo leavo to the imagination of our readers. bowover, he 18 considered capable of dragging that smoust of dezd weight, we suppose it is all Tight. 2 A fancy four-goat-team for the children is snother favorite extravagance which has not roached this city in its full measuro of com- pleteness. It may bo estimated aa costing from 2300 to 2800, ; NEXT COMES THE LIGHT TROTTING WAGON, singlo or double, and the_sulky, valaed at prices ranging between $150 and 500. About these the genus lomo has £s many fronks 2s he has abont his yacht. He fancies there never was a wagon whoso running gear Wwas quite 38 perfect as that particular lucky purchase of his, snd he places a fancy value on it, and thinks he isa specially fortunate dog in being its possessor. on cannot buy it of bim, because it has been one of those happy inapirztions or isolzted acci- dents of mochanical combination which will nover occur sgain. Ask him to lend yon a thousand dollars, but do not try to borrow that unique wagon. Indcpendent of the expensivo horsetlesh that must accompeny this miracle of mochaniem, we fird it must have cost our friend, when fully oquipped, from £300 to £1,200,—tho lower csimate applying onlr to the Sulky, nod therefors not appronche ing the general cstimate,—from 3760 to £1.2.0 being nearer tha approximats value of tho best siyloof light Trottng-Wazon.

DALLARD, INDIANAPOLIS, February, 1574, FaSs oo e S A Small Indian War. There has been a late tragedy at Aldrich, on the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad, which may bring on & serious battlo between the citi- zens of the section and a large band of Pillager Indians who are hunting in tho district. A trader lost a gack of flour, and, belioving that a neighboring Indian family had stolen it, searched their wigwam and found the fiour. He seized and ook it to the section-house, and was fol- lowed by two Indian boys, who eaid that tha section-house-keeper's son had sold them tLa flour. The boy denied it, snd then fell upon the Indian boys and beat them sovercly. They went homo to their wigwam and told their big brother, who cams out with his gun and went to the scction-honse to get reparation for the abuse the litte fellowa had sustained. Ho conld get no eatisfaction from the kecper, who closed his door in the Indian’s face and held 1t fast. The Indian then put the muzzle of his un close to the door and fired through into the ouse. The ball cut off a finger of tho eection- houee keoper and pzssed into the head of his - daughter, 2 girl of 13, cauring ber death. Tue retreating Indian was fired at from the honmse and wounded, but managed to_drag himself to his wigwam, and then the band moved off. Tha Sheriff got after them, and they rofuzed to give up the wounded fadian, asserting Llat in & day or two ho would dio, and thus settle the difficulty. The white settlers were not gure that such s set- tlement was 80 near at hand, and thoy marshal- ed thirty well-armed and provisioved men to pursue the Indians and give them batile. There are abont 200 of tho Indians, and the sfimxshx igh may be a very lively one wheu it comes off. CHARLES KINGSLEY, An Interview with the Distinguished English Author. His Personal Appearance---Objects of His Visit to America. Synopsis of His Lecture on ¢ Westminster Abbey.” Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune. BosToN, Mass,, Feb, 16, 1874, Of sall the distingnished foreigners se have had with us during the last few years, perhaps none of them—after Dickens—was received with the intercst of SUCH WIDELY-DIFFERENT CLASSES 28 is Charles Kingsley. For a man whom no one wounld ever dream of being double-faced, he hae more sides to his character than any other person I know of; and each is so strongly marked and well developed that he will interest just as many diffcrent classes as he has rhases to hie character. A very striking evidence of this came under my notice this morning. I chanced to overhear two gentlemen talking about bim, when one said, * I suppose the Unitarians will make & great deal of him while heisin the country.” Bat heis nmot & Unitarian,” replied the other ; * he is Canon of Westminster Abbey.” “ Well, I didn’t know that; I koew him by his books only, and somehow set him down as TUgitarian.” Iwas not groatly surprised at his blunder, forone is likely togot sbsorbingly interested in Mr. Kingsley as an author that it matters littlo to that one what he is besidos, This morning, Mr. Kiogeley and his daughter, Miss Kingsley, ABRIVED IN BOSOX from New York, and, as I had tne pleasure of meeting them, I am going to tell you something about them, befors speaking of the lecture which he delivered to-night in Salem, and which Lo rapeats to-morrow night in Boston,on ““West- minster Abbey."” I must confess to some feolings of tropidation sfter sending up my Dame, and while waiting for Mr. Kingsley and his daughter to receivo me, for “a guilty conacience,” you know, snd I kuew 1 had a note-book and well-sharpened pencil in my pocket, even if they did not ; and I was not sure how these distinguished people would view » young lady of nowspaper-tendencies. But sll my apprehensions wero dispolled, whon Mr, Kingeley enterod tho parlor, by his kind and go- nial greeting. 1 believe the acceptable thing to say in Bos- ton of #E. XINGSLEY'S APTEARANCE is, “ How much he looks Jike Emerson!” But, as you forlorn Chicago pooplo are not posted perhaps as to how Mr. Lmerson loots, I will de- gcribe Mr. Kingsley : He is tall, rather elonder, and looks about his sge,—whichi 18 b54,—tbough resorving the Euglishman's right to seem a fow years yoauger. ~ Ilis bair and beard are well frosted, which makes his kind face all the rosier by conirast. He dresses plainly, yet without impressing you with tho priestliness of Lis attire. His. manneis are courteous and—need I add —verv agreeabie. Mr. Kingsley did net come to America for the scle Ellrposu of lecturing, but to try what effect the chimate might havo upon HIS HEALTIL, which has not been very good for some time. He goes Wost—lecturing 0n bis way—whece ha has a son living, in Colorado, I believe. Boston_is ready to Javish honors, both social and_puablic, upoa him; but, whilo ho seems gratified aud flutlered by this exproesion of friendlinese, it is beyoud his power to accept most of tho hospitalities offered him. Then, too, the death of hiy wife's eister, Mrs. Froude, wiil, of course, provent himself and dsughter atteading many entertainments. To-mOITOW, the Presu give him dinrer in Boston. After o few muutes with 3ir. Kingsley, he was called away, and the remainder of my eall was spont with 59 KINGSLEY, one of the most thoronghly sensible and charm- 1ng women L over met. She kindly offered to answor any quostions I cared to ask about ber fatber. So I took out my note-book and put on a business-like manner; but (I suppose I ought to confess it with skame), at sight of the formid- ablo yellow paper, we looked at each other and Iaughed, and I huiried it back into my pociet, saying, “ Well, V'll notavk you any questions. Ploace just toll ue soinething interesting about your father, that none of the newspapors know yet ;” and we sottled ourselves for a chat. “T am not an Rastern girl,” I replied to are- mark of Lers; *I am from tho West.” “ObL! are you? Then we can sympathize with each otber. for T am & Western girl, too. I spent & year with my brothr, who is railroading in Coloralo, and I do love the West.” *When did you laud ? I agked. “0n Wadnesday." Then I made the conventional remark, that her father bad had timo to rest from his voyage be- foro beginning his lectures, and sbe said : “Yes, but father never needs to rest after coming off the wator. Ho hes been a good soilor all his life. When hewas a littls boy, snd lived in Devoushire, he and his brother used to spend whole nights'in fisaing-smacks with tho fishormen.” ) ou, aftor talking of her father's books, she T wish you could see our country home, ¢ EVERSLEY; " and she fotched me sowme photographs of it. “Theeo are the windows of father's library,” Enintiug to windows which showed like loop- oles through masses of ivy. ‘I think all his books were written_in there. Evorsley is & charming old placo. It was at onatime onlya cell of St. Peter’s, Westminster ; 80, of course, that part is vory old,—between 300 and 400 years : and, where the lawn now is, there used o be 5 fish-pond, from which the monks drew their Lenten supply of fish. We are just on the edge of wide moor-lands, apd we can ride some 15 miles 2cross the moor, throngh the heather and self-sowed Scotch firs. And, in the fall, when the heath is a mass of purple blossoms, you can ] imagine how beautiful it is.” I think » man’s home ought to reflect him, and ho it; and somebow. this description of Eversley accounted to me for much that we find ia Charles Kingsley's books, 1 found that my “interview"” had turped into » pleasant sacial call, aod I was sorry enough when othor visitors wera announced snd I was forced to eay good-bya. To-night, in Saiem, MB. KINORLEY'S LECTURE was. a8 T know it would he, a success. Ho began by psying to Americans a very grace- fal compliment for their reverence for antiquity. “Tho rich and strong young natures, which feel themselves capable of onginal thought and work, have & corresponding respect for thosa who, in generations gove by, have thonght and worked a8 they hope to to-morrow. . . . havo seen—and seen with joy—a like spirit in thore Americans whom it has been my good for tune to meet in my own country ; I mean, how- ever eelf-teaching and self-determining the- might_be, that genial reverence for antiquity which I hold to bo the sign of » truly generousy that ig high-bred, natare. I have been touched, and deeply touched, at finding so many of them, wfi&n landing for the first time at Liverpool, burry off * to see our quaink old City of Chester, to gaze on its old enceinte of walls and towers, Roman, Medioval, Caro- Iino, its curious * Rows * of ovexhanging'hnues, its fragments of Roman baths and inscriptions, its modest little cathedral, and the, really very few, relics of English history which it contains.” It is because of this eenfiment of reverence that he choso his subject, ‘' WESTMINSTER ABREY.” “Thers is an American author who was the delight of my own youti, and who should have been my teacher also, for he was a master of our common tongue, and his prose is as graceful and felicitous a8, while it is manlicr than, even poor Elis’e own,—an suthor, I say, who, with that high-bred roverence for what i3 old, bas told you already mere about Westmiuster Aobey, and told it better, than I am likely to. Need I ssy that [ meen the Jamented Washington Irving?z Ah that our authors bad always been 28 just to yon 8 ho was just to us—indeed, more than just, for in his coartesy he saw us somewhat en beau, and treated old John Bull too much ss Pope sd- vised us to treat fair Indies: 444 De to their faults a Little blind, Ba to their virtoes very kind."” The “airy security of cobweb” and “ dusty eplendor” ~ which ng saw foriy years sgo, he tells us is not be found thers now., ‘A stranger will not often enter our Abbey without finding momewhere orother. among its vast arcades. skilled work. i men busy on mosaic, marblo, bronze, or *ivied windows richly dight.! . . . Of the char- acteristics of Westminster Abbey, that which most endears it to the nation, and gives more force to ita neme, is not that Kings are crowned tnere, or buried there; not its school; not its monastery, its chapter, or its eanctuary, or the fact thatit is the resting-place of famous Eo- lishmen ; it is not only Rheims Cathedral aod t. Denys both in_ome, bu it _is wnat the Pantheon was intended to bo in France, wha: the Valhalla is in Germanv, what Santa Croceis to Italy. Itis this which inapired the eayiug of Netson, *VICTORBY On WESTMINBTER ABBEY,’ and which has intertwined it with so many eloquent passages of Macaulay, It is_this which gives point to the allusion of recent Noo- conformist statesmen, least inclined to draw il- lustrations from ecclesinstical buildings. Itis this which gives most Komiae of vitality to the whole institution.” Kings are no longer buried within its walls; evea the splendor of pl.gelnu have ccased to attract, But tho desire to be buried there is as strong as ever. . . . As the Couacil of tho Nation and the Courts of the Law have pressed into the Palaca of Westminstor, and engirdled _the very Throne itself, so the ashes of the grest citizens of England havo pressed in’o tho sepul- chre, and surroanded tnem as with & guard of honor after their death.” Of the dead Queens who elesy: within the “ mournfal maguificence” of tha-uld place, Mr. Kingaley spcke thus beautifally : **In tho south aisle of Henry tho VIIL's Chapel lies in royal pomp she who was 80 long England’s bane,—the daughter of debate,—poor MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. English and Scot alike have forzotten tho stream of noble blood she cost their nations, and look sadly and pityingly upon ber effigy. Why ot ? #4Nothing is left of her Now, but pure, womanly.’ And in the corresponding’ aislo upon the north in alike tomb, which tho voice of the English Eeoplo demanded from the son of Mary Stuart, es oven a saddor figuro still,—the poor QUEEN ELIZABETH. To her indeed, in_her la-t days, vanity of vani- ties, all was vanity. Tyrone's rebellion killed her. ‘This fruit have I of all my labors under the sun; ' ‘and, with a whole book of Ecclesias- tes written on her mighty heart, tho old' crowned lioness coiled herself up in her lair, refused food, and died; aad has her place henceforth opposite to her dear sister whom she tried to_gave, and who would ‘hava slain her if she could, and whom she had at lasttoalay. Theyhavemadeup their qaarrel now.” He thus closed his lecture, after describing THE GRAND OLD ABBEY, with its forests of columns, its “ grand heights and severe proportions,” the beauty of its lofty, many-colored xoof, 28 'only & poet and one dail i familinr with it, could desuribe it: *‘ One wor more: It may be not merely sentimental, but foolish and daagerous, to wish for too much’; as with the Princess, in the Arabian Nights, who fancied her fairy palace Was incompiete until she had a Roc's egg to suspend from the dome, and, trying to get that one forbidden thing, lost her fairy palzco and all its trepsures. And yet 1, Canon of Westminster, long for a Roc's 6gg for our old Abbey,—fancring that, o far from helping to destroy, it may help to preserve thoss sacred walls,—even for the dust of some great American. The day may come—I trust it will come before 1 die—when, in that great Dew clcister which it is proposed to build cutside and fill with tho heroes of—Heavon grant—the next thousand - years, we may have charge of more than one great' Colonisl. Bub just becausa you are unot Colonials,— otill, however worthy snd sole, in_stalu pupiltari,—but because you aro s full-grown and independent pation,—s man whom England, throngh meny pangs and many sins, has borne into the world,—thcrefore, I long for the tomb of at least ONE GREAT AMERICAN.” Of that American who elept for such a brief season there, he touchingly said: *‘ Ah, that we could have kept him a3 a token that the great Abbey and all ite memories of 800 years do not belong to us alone, nor to the Pritish Emoire alone and all its Colonies, but to America like- wise! That, witen an American ectera beneath that mighty shade, bie tresds on common an- cestral ground, as encred to Lim as to us.” Ir. Kingeloy's lecture, besides being finished and scholarly,—moro like a beautiful essay than anything elso, 5 ano continued expression of the friendship ho feols for us,—a friendship which wo fzel is sincere, especially since be de- nies ever having entertaincd towards us—of tho North—the bilter fecliogs which have been at- tributed to him.

A question that has puzzled scholars found a solution, some time sincs, in the observation of an American sabmarine diver. Bmith's **Bible Dictionary " discusses learnedly the name of the ed Sea. The ‘Dictionary"” surmises that the name was derived from the red western moun- tains, rod coral zoophites, etc., and sppears to give little weight to tho real and pat: Teason which came under our American's notice. On one occssion the diver observed, while under ses, that the curlous wavering shadows, which cross the lustrous, golden floor, like Frauen- hofer's lines on the spectrum, began to change and lose themselves. A purple glory of inter- mingled colors darkened the violet cartains of the sen-chambers, roddoning sl glints and tinges with an angry fire. Instead of that lus- trous, ugoldeq firmament, the thallasphers darkoned to crimson and opal. The walls grew purple, the floor s red as blood ; the deep itself was purpled with the venous hue of deoxodized life-currents. The view on the surface was even more magnificent. The sea at first assumed the light, tawny, or yellowish-red of sherry wine. Anon, this' wine-color grew indistinct with richer radiance ; aa far as the eye could seo, and flashing in the crystalline splendor of the Arabinn sun, was glorious a8 a ses of rose. Tho dusky zed sandstone hills, with a border of white gand, an green and flowered foliage, lke an elabo- rately wrought cup of Bohemian glass enamel- ed with brillisot flowers, Leld the sparkling liquid petals of that rouy sea. The surfaco, on examination, proved toLe covered with & thin brick-dust laver of wfusoris slightly tinged with orange. Placed in a white glass bottle, this changed 1into s deep violet, but the wide sur- face of the external eea was of that magnificent and brilliant rose color. It was & new and pleas- ing examplo to the lustrous, ever-varying beauty of theocean world. It was caused by diatomace®, minate algm, which under the microscope ro- vealed delicate threads gathered in tiny bundles, and containing rings, blood diaks, of that curions coloring matter in tiny tubes. THE ADVOCATES OF JUSTICE. A Recapitalation of the Objects of the Order. The Organization---Provisions of the Constitution. Inlast Monday’s TRIBUSE was an article cons cerning the desivability of industrial organizs. tions thronghous ths country, their rapid forma- tion, and the objecta at which they aim. For tha benefit of those readers who did not see that paper, we here give a recapitulation of the OBJECTS OF THESE SOCIETIES, which are : To resist th oppressions of contralized capls tal, and to protect all their members in the right to own and use all they have honostly earned by their labors, whethor of brain or muscle ; To overthrow the credit-system, which bears most heavily upon the working-classes ; To settle all disputes as much 2s possible by arbitration ; To equalize Capital and Labor, and bring the producer and consumer nearer together ; To proside for the educstion of the ignorant, and tho social elevation of the working classes; To form Co-operatise Societies whersver and whenover practicable, for buying, selling, manu- facturing, and for any other desirable pure pose. Ono of these societies has just been formed in this city, Itisstyled The Order of the Advo- cates of Justice, and consists of the following: ORGANIZATION. Bubordinate Lodge. First Degree—Btudent. Becond Degree—Graduste. Stale Chapter. Third Degree—Science. Composed of delegates elected by the Lodges. Masters and Matrogs, Past Masters and Pasd Matroos of lodges, are entitled to the third de- greo, eligible to office, bt not entitled to vote. Grand Temple, Fourth Degree—Templar. Composed of delegaten elected by the Chap- ters. Masters ard Matrons, Past Masters and Past Matrons of the Chapters are members of the Templo, entitled to the fourth degree, but not entitled to vote. Chap. 7, Bec. 1, reads thua: shall appoint annually AN AGENT, who shall give sufficient bonds for the faithful performance of his daties, and whose daties sball be to receive and execute all orders for ‘buying and selling 1ssued from Subordinates.” Here it will bo seen at once how carefully this body will guard against the encrcachments of Capital, a3 the Agont s bound to perform his duty in bnying and selling, and he will never ain bo appointed if be is found defrauding or cheating in his business, #o that it will be to his manifest advantage to_deal honestly and honor- ably both in buying end selling. As the finan cial aspect of this Order is the most important one, it will be found to mest all requiremerts, and will be a benefit to both salesmian and pur- chaser. 8ec. 2.—** It shall be the dusy of Lodges to properly carc for any of tocir members WHEN SICK." Workingmen everywhere know too well the benefit of this clause. They do not need to be told how terrible is their fate when sickness overtakes them and they are reduced to extreme poverty,—wife and children shrinking from the wolf at the door, whilo the husband and father is powerloss to drivoit away. In this organiza- tion this calamity is fl[;r‘nfided against, and it commends itaelf in this particular to all who bave nothing but their Isbor on which to de- pend. Art. 11: ‘' NO POLITICAL OB RELIGIOUS TESTY of membership shall be applied ia the Order. This article secures it from ever being at the mercy of political demagogues, or of any ona religious sect. All meot hers on psrfect equal- ity and harmony, no matter what may be their political or religious sentiments. . THE FEES AND DUES are placed at as low a figure a5 they could be sirsh safety to the necessary expenses of tho. er. 3 Art.4, 8ec.2: “The minimum fee for member- ship eball be, for men $2, and for women $1. And the minimum for quarterly dues sball be 80 cents for each member; but each Lodge may otherwise regulata its own fees and dues.” That is, if tho members who have more money wish to meet in & fine room or splendid hall they can do 20, incressing their fees and paying for it; but, 58 the interests of those who have but little must be preserved, the minimum fees are placed low, to give an opportunity to every and any msn and woman who wish to unite. It they have any family, and are obliged to supply foor or five with the necessaries of life, they will “The Templa | have their foes back sgain. the first week in the money saved on their purchases, as thoy will have everything furnished them at cost price. They can count tho difference betwaen re- tail price and wholesale price, and sum up the amount they will sase in one year, and then mmagine how long it will be bafore theycan have nice homes of their own. Art. 8, Sec. 2: “ Eight mon and three women, having Tecoived the two subordinate degrees, may receive a dispensation to organize a Lodge.” In this Order, men and womea are placed ON THE BAME FOOTING, and have equal rights. This socicty, therefors, tmust commend itself to women, 83 thoy stand on the sama plane s men. and are equally eligible to ‘ofice. A widow who hss a hard . life befors her can come in hers. and obtain all the necessaries of 1ife at a low prico. It she needs s sewing- machine £o enable Ler to earn 2 living, she can obtain at such low rates that she would. on that one single article, have her initiation-fee re~ turned to her several times. Besides, if she were sick and in dis! her wants would be very likely to_be supplied. It is hoped, too, that, under this new wiats of things, women wilt 'be better paid for their labor. BEc. 4. *Ten Lodges working in » State may apply to the Temple for anthority to organize A CHAPTER, and the charter-foo for the same shall be $50.” Bec. 5. *“When Chapters are organizod, dis- pensations will be replaced by charters withont further fee.” This must commend itself to every one. The charter-fes for a Chapter is $50—only 85 & Lodge; which makes it a very small sum divided between many members. Thers is no forther fee. The members take the third degree with- ont any additional expense. SEc. 7. *“Until s Chapter shall have been or- ganized, the first Lodge organized in the State ahall be eatitled to send & representative to THE TEMPLE ;" and, when representatives are sent to the Tem- ple, they take the fourth degrea withont any further fee. Thus a member can work up and take all the degrees on the initiation-fes of £2 for men and 1 for women. This body utterly repudiates a money-aristocracy or s money-gov- ernment. The members composing it do not buy their seats in the Grand Temple, but they are duly elected as representa‘ives, and sent by their constituents, who pay their expenses, S0 that everyman and woman, whether rich or poor, bas equal chance to office, and_a voice in the government of this Order, BSurely, this featare ought to commend it to the coneidera- tion of all persons who desirs to be governed on truly democratic principles. The Grand Temple i8 national in its character, embracing the different States ; while the Chap- elisthe Btate body, snd Subordinate Lodges may be organized in every locality,—village, town, or city. - The financial feture of the Bociety is not the only one that commends itself, but THE EDUCATIONAL FEATORE : is & very tmportant one. An ignorant person it slways at the mercy of those who are mors learned, and ensily becomes the dupe of thode better versed in the of the world. Provision is made to guard sgainst the unlearned mem- bers in this respect, and fo bring them to the level with their more educated or professional brothers and sisters: for it must be understood that the term Industry is intended to refer to all those who labor for & living, whether it be with head or hand, with “the pe, the plow, or the anvil.” The educs- tional feature may take the form of lectures, esssys, &o. All the members of this organization, of what- ever dugrce, are called Templars: Another democratic festure. No matter of what degres the mombers may bo in the Order, they are all Templars. 3Mps. 3.
