' THE GENERAL APPEARANOR. Soptomber scoms to bo fhe gront month for displsys of all kinds. Natars horsolf saoms to ‘bo no oxcoption to the rule, for in this month slio bogins to put on hor ricbeat clothing, Tho woakness for dluplays of all kinds bins boon fully shiown {n the Western Btates during the past fow weoks, which havo seoun the rige, progresd, and deeny of numdrous city, Stato, and county ex- positions, but tho latest, and, in_some rospocts, tho best of thom, eamo yoaterday, Porhaps the Intonsost oxcitement that over selzed upon aud fillod tho brensta of Chicago'a female population wos caused by tho announcowmont, on Monday and Tuoaday last, by Meaars, Tield, Leitor & Co. that they intended on Tuosday to opoen to the pub- Tie gnzo thelr stock of fall goods, The first indica- tions of tho crusading atorm of Inst fall woro as nothing compared to it, and its promisos of laat- ing oro much more bright. There was gomo- thing novel in tho invitation, which was in itself plonsing, sud one eannot help olluding, in- cidentally, to the extreme consideration dibplayod by this tirm last fall in not thon extending a simi- Jur invitation, 1t would probably have carried then, a8 it doos now, joy into the hoarts of the Indies ; but the constornation it would havo car- riod info the magculine heart wonld have boen immensurable. This “timo lest year an ovil go- nius oamod Panlo was abrosd, lurking bebind street cornora aud in darksome alloys, ready to plunge his weapon into as many unfortuuato ‘businoss men as onme within his roach. Eut yesterday, when tha Singer Duilding, con- taluing tho new fall stock of Ficld, Leiter & Co., was thrown opon to tho publio, thero entered not only ladies in great numbor to cxtimino aud ad- mivs, but also quite s large number of geutle- man attendants with them, to enfoy fully their admiration and critical romarke. During the morning and afternoon tho store presonted moro tha appearance of about fifty ordinary- eized church-bazaars placed alougside and on top of one another to the helght of 100 fost than a retail dry-goods etoro. On passiug through tho main cutrance on_ State Blrost, the spectator Junded in thoe widst of TIE DRLES-C0ONS DEPARTMENT. Tore there was but littlo, if any, noed of ox- trancous oruamentation, yet the pillars, which seemed £o grow out of the lurga pllos of goods, woro decked out with twining cioths of dificrent huo and texturo, On theiight of the dress. goods department, aud_occupying tho southwest cornor of the first floor, was the Inco depart- ment, {llled with the most delicato.joces of work imagiuable, and ruumng from tho simplost of Iace collars eud cuffs up to tho shawl whose in-, tricato patiern made it a8 groat o work of art in’ itn lino us the “ Prodigal Bon” or tho **Iomp-s| tation of Faust,” and mnch moroe easily appro- ciable to ninety-nine hundrodtls of humanity. Without sliuding to_tho piloa upon pilos of silks and satins, exquisiie both in hue and de- gign, and the elogance of tho show-cases of kid gloves, it moy not bo out of placo to give a brief dogcription of THE APTEABANCE OF TIE S0TUNDA, as presented to a porson gazing from the gronnd floor up slong the dilferent flata to tho iron-glass reof which overhanps at o height of ~ 100 feot. All the pillars wore decorated with vari-coloied silks, white from the top of ench to ihat of the mext liung a most graceful festoon of red, white, and blue wilk, tho tinting ot wlich was the most delicate which can woll "be imag~ ived. Higher up the glow of richiy-patternod carpots was visivlo, a huge festoon of tupestry reaching from the centro of the doms to each of tho top corners of the rotunas, In the daytime the ofiect of tho drapery in tho rotunds was ex- quieite, but it was groatly heightoned in tho ovening, when, under tho gashghts, tho tinte, which ave of the kind kuown as evening shades, wore brought out in their full perfoction. In the ovening, too, TIUE CROWD OF HUMANITY which had throngod the building during tho day had grown into » mags which moved to and fro, aud pazed percotually, cnd purchnsed oceasion- nlly, in the happiest Tramo of mind imaginable, T'ho only persons who seomed out of placo wore oceasjonal Benedicks who lad evidently boen coaxod from their evening at home, and who seemed utterly bowildercd at the svatematic and {rresistiblo manner which the propriators had prepared to loy nicfilq to thelr pockota. The onslaught which Field, Leitor & Co, have ropared for upon the purscs of Chicago's Lius- Lands and fathers will, within the next few days, bo something enormous, judgihg by tho aporo- ciative glonces whick the Indy visitors of their catnblishment threw cronnd them yestorday. Tvery one scomed to hit upou at least a scoro of things which sho wanted, snd the number of shopping campaigns which woio planned eut by Vright-oyed couples yestordny evening it wore difiicult to estimate. It is pleasing to think that ofter a business year of tolerablo prosperity the Indies can, in tho Beptombor of 1874, cairy on tho fall catnpaign_ without Tunning the risk of bringing troublo thereby upon the holders of tho purse-strings, Such was tho latest attompt of an oxhibition in Chicego, and there ia no doubt that tho 10,000 peoplo who visited it yestorday were hearlily woll plessod with tho rostle of thoir in- veutigations. g TEE DRESSES.

THE ACADEMY, It was & strako of cnterpriso on the part of Willinw Horavo Lingard tosceure, rehearse, and present before an intolligont audienco & version of Teulllet's **Sphinx” simultancously with Mosars, Shoole & Palmor, of tho Union Squars Thoatro in Now York. 1t was doubly- ingonious, for hio can clatm hie company as the origiunls of tho characters in it; and, moreover, ho has takon advantage of the liboral advertisiug which the othor managors have bostowed upon it. In addition to this ho hna squeozed tho ozsonca out of it. 'Fhore was little in it originally. By ou unfortuunte accident,—the nou-nrrival’ of the doath-contortion apparalus,—~he hus shown us what a very dry and unintercsting af- foir it is, Driofly, tho ‘' Sphinx’ is s failure, It hos nothing in it to hold tho attention of an audicnce. Its intorest is roall; contined to two acts, and the oxpansion of the plot iutv four lias boon vory clumsily nccomplished. Nr. Lingard can present ic onco or twico wherover ho goes to gratify public curicsily, but by next seagon no manager will bo fouud uo rash &8 to attompt its rosuscitation, 5 T'ho two acts in which the storv ia told aro the last, *Tho Sphinx” {3 a ring contaiving poison, which is very appropriutely used in ridding the world of ono of thoso monstrositios of the modern atage, & French wife. DBlanche de Chelles is one of tho lively matrous of Yrauce whosie princival aim {u life s to flirt seriously with every pmr of pantaloons in actual use, She loves ber sistor's husband, but owing to o wifling, not to say unpardonable, jealousy on lhor sigtor's part, proparea to elope with a Scotoh Tord, Tho elonomentia frustrated by tho man ghe loves, who at tho propor moment declares Dis possion, Hor undutiful sistor digcovers this very dositablo Frouch woman, sud ropronches her sistor, whoreupon Blanche takes from tho ring o subtle polson which it contams, and dics. Now comes the suprome attraction of the pioca a8 presented to tho Parisians, Tne polson causes the most hideous contortions on tho part of tho erring Zilanche, who dics grimacing to elow music, rovealing in her death-throes, pro- sumnbly, a faint portrait of hor iuuer lifo. This it all, ond quite enough. Owing to the non-ar- rival sbovo referrod to, Miss Alico Dunning, who played tho part, was uuable to give the fuil effoct of tha poison. It was o fortuaato mistahe which prevontod lie contortion of thnt exquis- itely bosutiful faco in pangs of unatlorablo paiis. Whera beauty is so raro, and gracoso perfect, such a death-scono would Do sne- rilego, Tharoforo wo congratulato tho andienco upon ita loss, Tho fitst two sconer, which ore deoporatoly insipid, prosonts the Fronch matron in o statoof feverish oxcitemont quito'unlooked for in gnybody. With Migs Dunning inthe park it could not lack a charm, but the charm was tho porsonality of tho srtist, and not the spirit of the chnractor. Dir, Lingard's part was unworthy of him, and tho remainder of tho chnractors more or Jess tasteloss. Miss Dickio Lingard was casy, notural, and moody—as auy proporly-con. ducted perion wonld bo undor tho circumstances, —and, beyond a tlash or two of resl merit where an opportunity offered, showed no pastioulnr fltness for an” impossible part.
