Those who were visible were gome of the hard-dying officials, who were taking »a last and lopg gazo at thescene of their former plunder. Almost all the offices were closed early. and the place wore a deserted ap-~ pearance. Some of tho fricnds of the Acting AMayor were around with their braggadocio, which they have been using ' for many davs. They claim a majority of the new Council, but some of them are rathor doubtful as to the re- gult. The first session of the new Board of Aldermen is looked for with increasing interest. THE ASSESSMENT.

They succesded in scattering the men in quick order, bt they ral- lied again st Thompson's yard, in Bridgeport, and renewed their work of interferiog with the +shovers ¥ at workin that ysrd. The officers followed them up, and drove them back on the West Side, down' Halsted strset and Canalport aveue, chasing them amund for about three hours, and tinally dispersing them at Beidler's lumber-yard, on Scuth Loomis street. The purpose of the officers vas not to arrest the men,who are sumply poor infatuated Bohemians,’ ‘most of them, but only to dsperse them poace- ably. The laborers were atout fifty in number, and wers determined in their purpose of intimi- dating the men who were guieily attendidg to their duties in the varions lumber-yards. The persoverance of the officers was too much for them, and they were finaly competled to aban- don their plans for the dayat least.

The insurgents will meet to-dsy at Suck's Hall, comner of Brown and Twentieth streets, and ac the cornerof Nineteenth and Robey streets, to_decermine upon further pro- ceedings.

An 01d Boston Belle and Her Fashions— Anna Dickinson—A Century Vasa, Frem Our Own Correspondent, Bowron, May4.—* May days are moying dsys,"’ begins to have almost as much significance here 1n Roston as 1t has in New York,—especially in these Masy dsys, when salaries are dovm and land- lords still hold, with a desth grip, to their high repts. It will be a death-grip, indeed, to many ot tham in a way they have not foreseen, if the hold continues long, for houses fo rent are ac- cumulating eminously. WENDELL PHILLIPS SHAKES HIS HEAD significantly, with an **Itold youso” expres- sion, when he walka by thesehouses. Didn't he toretoll all this more than a year ago? Didn'c he warn us that as wea sowed we should reap ?— thas bloated, gloating cavital is at the bottom of it all, and that the quickest way out at present, or the firat step ont, is by the countless hands of the rag-baby. * Papermoney! paper money!" thatis his cry of redemption. And when, the other day, I heard a noted geologist declare that with his knowledge of the vast gold and silver- mining districts spread over this country, yet undeveloped, I bogan to wonder whether, after all, paper might not bs as valuable a legal-ten- der as this so-called precions metal when it aball flood the country as in the days of the Arabian Nights. But apropos of this coming in of oo, it 18 going to create A REYOLUTION LY PURSXS. The flat pocketbook of Ruesia leather, or its scented sham, which, with its flat paper contents, has fitted 80 nicely into ourjcoat pockets, will have to be laid aside if these jingling, bulky treasures of half-dollars and quarters, to say nothing of the smaller_ change, is to be once mors *‘in our midst.” And %o quickly has s trade™ anticipated this revolution, that already in certain shops hers the fat littie chamois-pouch with a steel cltsp is making ita appearance, s for silver, you know,” the clerk glibly tells you; and the other day I actuslly found a young Woman knitting or netting s littlo silk bag of brilliant colors, to be mounted with a silver or steol clasp. All these things are prophetic of the change that is coming to us, and the old faahions that shall roturn upon us. And, speaking of old fashioos, I wonder if the Chicago girls have found out by any Centennial masqueradings how very pretty and desirable a fashion is the incoming one of black lace mits. Though they were worn fiffeen or twenty yesrs ago it is true, yet their new birth just now is clearly a century reminiscence, for this winter's balls and festivals have brought them out in foll force. Now a New York house .presenis them 88 a_summer style, and I have sesn how white a thing, if not divine a thing, & woman's hand and arm can be made througn thess open black x:ez;:;e. Only & few years ago I met the cele- ra MBS. HARRISON GREY OTIS at a Boston party, and then, when everybody wore gloves, this wonderful old lady had tne wit and conragetocling toher black net mits. She had the most exquisite band andarm, then at nearly, if not quite, 70, that I ever saw, and the contrast of the black net fixed them forever in my mem- ory. A belleand beauty in her time, the wife of one of Boston’s distingnished men, and later in life heraelf distingaished by the activity dur- ing the War with the South, in connection with THE RECRUITING OF MASSACHUSETTS TROOPS, Mre. Otis has always been & prominent figare in Boston society. Many people remember her when ehe had turned 50, stiil a very charming woman. crossing the Boston Common with & broad hat upon her handsome head, such as she might have worn ia_her twenties, and her slen- der little feet cased in delicate slippers. Ber sccentricities were those of a beantifnl woman loth to give up her empire. Her beauty and grace served vory late to carry off any of these eccentricities withont much absardity. As the 8th of May draws near, the evening on which AXNNA DICKINSON is to make herdebat. all sorts of stories and rumors are aflost. A small fortone has been spent upon her wardrobe, which is & close study from old authorities, 'Chis is one of the on dus. ‘Another and more interesting is, that her play will go on to the stage absolutely as she has written it, the managers and crinics tinding nothing supertinous for stage use to be cut oat. 1f this s true, it is one of the most remarkablo instances on record- And if true, it is alsoa good sign 28 to her own histrionic capabilities. Stage novices are expected always to be fiiled with nervous fears: But in this particular like- wise Miss Dickinson disappoints the rale. N0, SHE 18 NOT AFRAID,” she says. There are plenty of croakers who ar- gue from this, sonceit and “ignorance, but what- ever else ehe may be, Anna Dickinson i8 scarcely conceited or ignorant, in any peity sense at least. And there is no reason why she should copy the treditions of timidity becauso it has been con- sidered * the thing * with all saccessful actress- e 8. Amongst the ‘queor remarks one hears, one of the queerest was, that * Mies Dickinson'has made a great mistake in not writing & play re- calling the days of the Revolation. this Cen- tenninl year it would bave taken much better than that old English story.” As if we hadn't had about enough of this cen- tury business, as a business. No, Anna knew better than to make herself & bore, not to say ridiculous. by trotting out all that Yankes Doodle masquerading that we have deme to death in fancy fsirs, etc. She conld not very well have ropresented all the women of the Revoluation, unless she had built up a colossal allegory with the principal fizure the Goddess of Liberty. And ‘thers i no one womsn of that time whose story is “ made to her hand,”— a greas and sombre record wiich shines down throngh the century o tragic reality of life and love which all the centuries will remember, as they remember . ANNA BOLEYX. No, thank Heaven, we bave no such tragedy in our dust of a hundred years ; and Anoa Dickio-~ 80N Wa8 too wise to want to patch up any elab- orate story out of onr good Priscillas and Martha Washingtons. But spealking of Centennial doings reminds me of the finest thing New England has done yet, and the finest thing that she probably can do. Thigis THE CESTURY VASE, which the celebrated firm of silveramiths, Gor- ham & Co., have mannfactured for the Exposi- tion. Itstandss little over4feet in height, upon a slab of granite, and is ocne of the most exquisite preces of workmaoship in detail I ever saw. Itis & very honest attempt, t0o, ab carry- ing ont truth to natore in these dotails, and to epitomize America from its discovery to the present time. Thus at the base we get the typi- cal red man on hig native goil. And be looks what he probably was at that early date, a very good-looking child of the wilderness, nncorrupi~ ed by bad whisky and Government intentions. ‘The working ont of ali our vogetable and flower growths 18 vory clever, and one of the points of truth which is praiseworthy. Of course ail the symbols are carried ont, the Goddoss of Liberty, Ahe eagle and the stars of tho States, and our gradual steps in progress, which has carried us from the red man to tho locomotive, sud corresponding science and grt, * And . it is marvelously done. The soft skin of animals, the flesh of the savage and the settler, the droops and curve of flower, and tree, and vegetsble, are wronght out sa if in plasiic wax instead of metal. I7elt athrob of pleasure as I stood regarding this piecs of work,— 8 throb of pleasure not unmixed with pride, that America could make such a fine show of her native industry and progrees at the World's Fair. In the same room with this vase I saw some other productions from the manufactory of Gorbam & Co., whicn made me hold my breath in s sort of boly horror at - THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF AMERICAN WOMEXN. Hero was a solid silver salver whose baso was of such polished metal thatit wasa plate-glass ‘mirror to all observation. The price £3.000, and it was alroady boaght by & New York lady, or, as the clerk corrected himself, ** by the husband of - the Jady at her desire.” Beside the salver stood » slender vase,—381,000,—both the property of this New York dame. N THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ¥OR A WAITER, AND ONE THOUSAND YOB A YASE!
