With the exception of oneor two chill and rainy days, the past week hias been one of delightful warmth and activit The retail stores have been as tull of people as their proprietors were full of cheer, snd Broadway has presented those scenes which bring out dressv ladies and fasci- nating beaux. The store displays are fine to aceord with the weather, so that a walk from Niuth street to Twenty-third is sufficient togive a fair ideaor the prevalent styies in dress, decoration, and aencral furnishing, be it honse or person. The system of Jarge-letter marking obtaios to such extent that it is scarcely nee £ary to ro inside to discover bargains, every bouse hus its specialty, which 18 made un- 1mistakably prominent. Keen competition has ‘brought shout some curious results. The most important, pertups, is the mising of every sort of gools in the same establishment. The distinctive dry-goods houses, for instance. are few and far hetween, if there are any left at all. They Luve been succeeded by the gencral . assortment, or, as they used to be called, “Yankee-notion” stores. The growth of such cstablishments as Macy's and Kiuzey's hus driven other merchants to adopt the same INDISCRIMINATE-COLLECTION PLAN toa greater or less degree. The new departure causes vigorous remonstrance in many quarters, and has unquestionably driven many firms into bankruptey; but trade is free to all, and remon- strance cannot prevent ruin to special dealers. The boot and shoe dealer claims that it is not legitimate business for an immense dry-goods firm iike that of Johnson & Co. to putina stock of Jeather goods at low prices, to draw zustom all under one roof. Legitimate or not, in the dealer’s scnse, the action cannot be taken exception to in court, and the rezular boot and £hoe merchant has bischoice. toout in a stock of dry-goods in return, or to grin andbear it. This is but one illustration of a bundred. The milli- nersand fancy-goods people, the perfumers and picture-dealers, the booksellers and clothiers, can all enter the same complaint, and must content themselves with the same remedy. Every inducement is put forth by the large cs- tablishments to procure and hold the entire patropage of a family, aside from the groceries Tor the kitchen and the suits for its male head, where families still support such an incum- brance. The lady knows she can do ber shop- oing without further running about than the distance from one department to another, which 15 one adrantage; and she knows she can buy many of the smaller articles for her toilet at cost prices, which is another. Hence eheis only too well pleased to keep her ac- count in one place; as the owner of that place is well pleased to have Ler. Hence, also, it. is s good as & fair—vanity jair. indeed—to make the grand. tour of one of our modern retail- evervthing houses. As the time has come when Jou can buy soaps, shocs, and silks. carpets, cloaks, and clocks, Japanese ware, hard- ware, and underwear side by side, to doubtless the time will come when such enterprising and well-regulated 1metropolitan mercantile establishment will have its restaurant on the first floor, and a Vienna ‘bakery and general groceries in the basement, ‘while a free-lunch counter and bar would be bat. & sixth remove. THEATRICALLY AND MUSICALLY the week was mot less lively than in its street und shopping nspects. The opening concert of Miss Thureby at the Academy of Music, the 1gmm!}xr concerts of Theodore Thomas, and the iret of the Saturday matinees by Dr. Damrosch and his company were eveuts of as much inter- est to musical people as was the resppearance of Mr. Jeflerson at Booth’s to theatre-gocrs. Besides this, there was ** Masaniello” for opera and the long-continning Aimee for opera-boufTe. Miss Thursby’s concert, the only one given prior to her departure for the West, proved a more flattering tgstimonial than the lady’s friends even had rfiucinntcd. It takes a vast aundicnce to fill the Academy, but there were no seats left at haif-past 7 o’clock, except- ing those in the family circle,—five stories up,—where three rows bad been reserved. eo larze was the demand. Then it was a brilliant audience; not less s0 than that which one is accustomed to sec on overa nights. The per- formance was well worthy of the oceasion. Miss Thursby could hardly have had more effective support than was rendered by the Thomas Orchestra, Signor Brignoli, and Mr. S. 8. Miils. The appreciation was sbown by the Insistency of the encores, which the orchestra slone was powerful enough to resist, as its teader has s much will as the public in that regard. Mr. Thomas is 3 DOING SPLENDID WORE with his fifty musicians. Despite the loss of bis leading “violinist and one or two other sirong members, his new company is, as a whole, made up of better material than the old. A musical critic of extensive exnerience, who bas heard the most famous orchestras of Europe during tweuty vears past, said to me yesterday that there was no organization anvwhere. superior to_that which Theodore Thomasheads to-day. Hard practice and steady work together bas told since the firsg public rebearsal. The play 1s now 85 smooth and periect as that attained by the orchestra last season.

CRIME. A LAND-SHARK’S WORK. Special Dispaten to I hicaco Tritune. St. Louss, Noy. 3.—A remarkable trial, in- volving the title to §150,000 worthof real estate, came to a conclusion this afternoon, after being one week before a jury in the Circuit Court. It has a bistory of unusual and thrilling interest. In 1873 George C. Miller brought suit awainst William H. Clapton, Gerhart Kohriug. Brock W Bennet, Regina agewmicr, and the St. Louis University, for the possession of a Jarge district of land Jying in the northern part of the city, and kuvown as Bryan’s Sub- division, and valued at over $150,000. Miller exhibited as an evidence of his title a deed from Sarah Lucas, the original patentee, dated March 23, 1821, regularly drawn ‘and ac- knowledgzed before the Circuit Clerk of New Madrid County. The validity of the deed was satisfactorily established. Miller got judg- ment, and the judement being aflirmed by the Supreme Court, was put in posscssion of the extensive lands which have since grown largely 1 value. Subsequently it was casually discov- covered that the 23d of March, 1821, the date of the Sarah Lu- cas deed, came on Sunday, which, in itself. under the laws of Missouri, would have made the deed invalid, and this fact,taken in the connection with the circumstance that a man named W. W. Gitt. formerly known asa noto- rious land-shark, was a witness tu the acknowl- edgmert, aroused suspicion tuat the docnment was a Jorgery. Suit was brought for ejectment, and a large number of witnesses summoned, among Whotn was Gen. Watkins, of Scott County, and a half-brother of Henry Clay. Another witness was James Reed, 2 well-known professional forzer of land-uitles. The attoru in the case had reason to believe that Reed knew something about the orizin of the Sarah Lucas deed, and after a fong search found bim in Chicazo, but before his evi- dence could be secured be was spirited away to Germany, where he was kept a vear. Reed re- appeared’ recently, however, and steps were taken to obtain his testimony, This was done, and by him 1t was couclusively proven that the dved, purporting tohave been executed more than half ‘a century a9, was in fact forged in the Southern Hotel in St. Louis in 1571, Dep- ositions of otbers, among them the Clerk of the Criminal Court of Cook County, IIL., brought to light old notes and bonds taken from'the trunk of James Reed, which had been committed to the enstody of the Fidehty Bank for safe keeping, some of which were dated 1821. the same as the Lucus deed. and bearing the siznatures of a1l rhe witnesses to the Lucus deed; nlso 2 book of old papers bearing the watermark and otber cvidences identical with that on which the Lucas deed was drawn; alsa awaximpression of the New Madrid County scal. in use when the Lucas deed was purported to_have heen made. On this testimony the orizinal judiuent of the Court was reversed, and an order issued dispossessing Miller, and turping over tise lunas to the rightful owners, and thus perlecting a number of valuable titles that came 0 near being cntirely destroved by the ingenious device of 4 bold land-shark. A WIFE’S DESPERATION. By Telegravh to New York Herald. LowzLL, Mass., Oct. 3L—While Joseph Whitely, a boot and shoe maker, on Merrimac street, was eating bis breakfast in the cellar- Kitchen of his residence, No. 9 Fourth street, this morning, he was approached from behind by his wife and dealt a blow with a hammer on the forehead, which felled him to the floor, The woman then dealt him a dazen or wore blows upon the head, inflicting some gashes from, which be bled profust and which she proba- bly thought would prove fatal. Sne then went up-stairs into the kitchen, and taking a razor cut ber throat, inflictine a deep gash four or five inches long, which fortunately escaped the jugular vein, bul partially severed the windpipe, She then put a shawl over her shouldegs and abouther neck, and walked a distance of fifty or sixty rods to the residence of John Donohue, her father, on Bridee street, where - wmedical attendance was sunmoped and fer wound . sewed up. The bammer and_ the razor were found covered with blood. The lounge and carpet on the kitchen floor was bespattered with blood, but she could not be tracked by it on the street, as it became soaked up in her shawl and other clothing. Domestic intelicity was the cause of the as- sault, and the wife “says that she threatened Whitely with injury and her own sclf-destruc- tion last night. ~ Itappears that she is his fourth wife, and that he had mformed her he had en- gaged a female housckeeper with whom he had been intimate and who was to comw- mence residing with the family this moring. Bne objected to ber comin, and says that s) understood that ber husband had deeded bLis property to his bousekeeper. Neither husband nor wile is out of danger. Whitely was born in England, but bas lived here forty years. Two or three years ago his former wife committed suicide, and about eirbteen months ago he mar- ried 2 woman much yvounger than bimself, with whom e has lived unhappily, their quarrels culwinating in this affair. JUDGE V5. DESPERADO, Hanntbal (Ho.) Courter. The notorious Biil Solon, the most dangerous and desverate of Hannibal hoodlums, having recently been released from Palmyra Jall, has been distinguishing himself for a week past by attacking and beating various persons.

CoLnnia, S. C., Nov. .—The testimony in the Cardozo trial closed this afternoon. De~ fendant in the cross-examivation testifie that Hardy Solomon offered him a bribe of $5,000 when visiting his private office, to pay certain fraudulent claims amounting to $20,000. Solo- mon coutradicted this statement, and alleged that he had given Cardozo $3,000 or $4,000 as part of a fraudulent claim substituted in this transaction. Solomen’s cashicr, Secaly, testic fied that when he presented the claims Car- dozo’s dlerk demurred to the payment, when Cardoza told him to pay thie demand. It was none of his busine: Counsel for defendant subsequently admitted the substitution of fraudulent claims. ‘Ihe arwument of counsel will begin on Monday.

PINNEY, Sax Fraxcisco, Nov. 3.—In the Municipal Court, to-dav, on motion of Assistant District- Attorney Darwin, the two indictments against Georze M. Pinney for forgery were dismissed, Darwin stating there was no proof that the documents signed by Pinney were forzeries, because he had sutboritv from Spalding to sign them in favor of the parties therein named. 1le further said the evidence of Spalding, instead of convicting Pinney, would acquit him of the offenses charged.” There now remain azainst Pinney only three indictments for obtalning money by false pretenses, and it i3 considered that thesu also will be dismissed.

Political Prospects—The Labor Movement Muddles Things Generally. Soectal Dispatch tn The Chicagn Tribune. PmiLADELPOIA. Nov. 3.—It is impossible to sav whether general apathy will come to the rescue of the Democrats with suflicient force next Tuesday to insure them the election. The State gave Harvran(t 34,000 majority in 1872, while Grant had 136,000 majority with a small ageregate vote. Since then the majority has never been 4 per cent of the total vote. In 1874, during the great Democratic tidal-wave, Licut.- Goy. Latta, Democrat, was elected by 4,000 majority. The next year Hartranft had 10,000 ~majority, and’ last year Hayes' majority was ouly a little more than 2 per cent of the total vote. Now there is little to call out the full vote. The most im- portant oflice is that of State Treasurer, which is regarded as the KEY OF THE POLITICAL SITUATION, because the funds have been the source of great political corrruption, Mr. Macky having at one time had 3,000,000 of mouey floating round {from one bank to auother, and being frequently transferred to a place where it could do more good. Both the candidates are cqually unobjectionable, and the same can be said of Messrs. Schell and Passmore, who are rivals for the Auditor- Generalship. Judge Sterrett has the advantage of possession, and 2 long aud_ distinguished ca- reeron the Bench, though Judge Trunkey is very popular in his district. Now, to look over the field in detail, Phila- delphia unquestionably holds the key to the situation. If it can elect its city ticket there is A VERY GOOD GHANCE of the Republican State ticket beins chosen. The Republican Jeaders profess to believe that the city is going Republican, and they will not confess to any doubts. If they are war- ranted in their views, then there is a £ood chance of the State going Republican. Nevertheless, Lancaster is the only one that promiscs arything likea fair Republican vote. It will give Trom 4,500 to 5,000, as awainst its 8,700 of last year. Lebanon is the Republican star that never sets, and the least reliable ot all Republican counties. Next may he classed Somerset, which can come abreast with Leba- non with her 1,400 majority. “Both will turn up 4 BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE this vear, and give probably [;000 cach, Allowing ° outside fizures, Chester will drop down to 1,500 instead of her 3,000. Delaware will shrink from 9,000 down to 1,200, Dauplin will conie up 1,000 or so majority, and there will not he a Republican majority in any county south of the Susquehanua and” east, of the Alleghenies worth taking into a calculation. Judge” Sterrete wiil undoubtedly lead his ticket in this city, and it is claimed that he will 2ain fargely in” Allegheny, and bhe will, as a rule, be the highest Republican in ali the conn- ties not immmediately aflected by Judge Truu- key’s well-arned popularity in the northwest. 16 the Democratic majority in the State shall be Tess than 10,000, toe election of Judge Sterrett is possible, but, as it _may swell up anywhere from 10.000 to 40,000, his success is far from being assured. As for the Labor ticket the I::u-ty has for once attempted an organization. it claims 20,000 in this city. It may get 12,000, and PERIALPS 40,000 IN TIE STATE. Nevertheless it will be bigenoueh to play havoc with the hest 1aid plans of mice and mer, and is quite likely o spoil things as seriously as its prototype did in Ohi ————— OBITUARY, NEw Yorg, Nov. 3.—The Rev.

Cuicaco, Loty AL REASONS WITY. Iurper's Buzar. The reasons why a train is pretty is because it increases height, and grace of wovement; the reason why a train too long (a3 in court-dress) or girt in is ugly is because it does just the re- verse. : The reason why the present tied-in style of petticoat, which recalls, without imitating, the Japanese costume, is zood, and. when not over done, pretty, is because it does pretend to fol- low the natural lines. It does displav the clear line of the hip without the deformity of a “ bustle,” and this gives a pretty fizure grace and lightness. A tied-in dress is also commend- able because it indicates those forms of the body which hase too Jong been completely hidden, and so far wasted; for, beauty implying visi- bility, a beauty undiscovered is scarcely to be reckoned as a beauty. ‘The reasou why the same dress too tightly tied is bl Is because, when tue limbs are d prived of comfort, grace is hnmediately lost, elasticity of carriaze checked, the lines of the legs destroyed, and divers uglinesses result. “Tlie beavy trail or contined train is not allowed to suften’and enhance the movements of the body, but in walking will jerk at each step, in- creasing the lady's resemblance to a clozged without ever displaying the form of the w. To properly display the form, the dress must e tied or made to fall back, but loasely, and a certain looseness allowed to the front, that the coul?ur of the fizure may have room to assert itself. The reason why a small walst is a~ beauty is because, whea it is vatural, it goestogetlier with the peculiar litheness and aetivity of a slender- ly-built figure. All the bomes are small, the siwulders and arms petite, and the general look is dainty and youthful. The reason why tizht lacing is ugly is becanse it distorts the natural lines of theé figure, and gives an appearance of uncertainty and_unsafe- ness. A waist of the tizht descriptiou has hap- pils disappearcd entirely from rood society, and 15 now the very badge of vulgarity—indeed, ex- ageeration is always vulgar. The reason why the fashionable Gainsborough hats are good is because, firstly, they surround the face, thus isolating it from incongruous sur- roundings, and forming a distinet backeround, which, of course, should be of a becoming color; secondly, because they add to the height by the peculiar curve of the brim—ywhen they are prop- erly put on. here is scarcely any hat which looks worse on a vulgar woman, or more inappropriate on a grave, middle-aced face. But, worn by a young and_good-lookiug woman, it answers slmost everv purpose that a bat can—and, theretore, no doubt, will not last long. "The reusou why musses of false hair are bad in art is becuuse they contradict natural proba- bilitics.

The Lockwood-Hufford seduction case of last summer has come to happy a termination. Tne details of the trial were given to the public, and created some interest for several days. They were bricfly to this effect: The father of a pretty little girl, who had been rather wild, had a railroad express man, & married man from St. Louis, arrested for leading his voung daughter astray.

He fell in love with the far witness, and sought an introduc- tion, This led to a corresvondence. Miss Tufford went home. fnd remained in retire- nt. She was at once transformed by the scandal of the trial trom a ziddy, wid girl, to a reserved and mature woman.

Zondon Carresnondence Sar Francisco Chronicle, So the Duke of Norfolk—that so devoted son of the Roman Catholic faith that it was lonz fancied by some he would end as a priest, and make over cverything he possessed in the world that he could muke over to Holy Mother Church —bas at last engaged himself to take for better or worse the Lady Flora Ilastings. The fair damsel is graudnicce as well as namesake of that most infelicitous and bardly-used Lady Flora Hastings about whom, in the carly days of the Queen’s married life, there was 5o very much talk. The Lady Flora of that time was beautiful, the Lady Flora was fascinating, per- Laps also the Lady Flora was not above indule- ing in the delightful excitement of flirtng just & tiny little bit with somebody else’s vushand, atove alf when that somebody eclse’s husbaud was handsome and of Royal blood, although, iudeeg, the Koyal blood was only that of a mon- eyless Teutonic princeling and zrana-ducal sec- oad sun, who, according to a popularsong of the period, came over from his native land with nothing more valuabie than his father’s bless- ingg, aud a German sausage and sixpenny piece in his pocket to “marry the Queen of En- gland.” At any rate. 8o’runs the old story of Tnany years ago. Ibert the good,” for all that he was something of a pri, appareutly could not resist the temptatiou which prompts us Jees perfect mortals, “when far away from the lips that welove,” to solace oursclves with makine “love to the lips that are ncar.” Lady Flora’s eves were pretty, pretiivr, maybe, than those of the iess fair roval Guelph, and if Lady Flora’s chierry mouth said nay to the zood-look- iuer Prince, it was, peradventure, the nav that is liker unto'yea. And thus, one duy, it befell that the " princely - and aristocratic lips came closer together than, considering all circumstunces, was quite, quite proper. Waile Lady Flora and Albert the Exemplary were * whispering the soft nothings” and quite wrapped up in their soooning, her Majesty her- self pounced on them. Tableau! Confusion of the zood young man, terror of the single lady, wrath of the foyal wife! Lady Flora, so says rumor, came in for boxed ears, and never, never, never was she suffered to set foot again within the precincts of the Court. Douotless the Prince was treated to an improving course of curtuin lectures, but oun this point we can ouly hazard surmise, as Into the mysteries of the Royal bedehamber it is not given to out- siders to penctrate. It is quite possible, seeing that the Queen had an explosive temper, that his Royal bair became thinner on his Royval head awhile after that day. Anyhow he grew a sadder and 4 wiser nan, bade a long farewell to threations with maids of honor, or any other of the fair sex, betook nimself to study, invented a military hat so supremely bideous that Punch and everybody else made everlasting fun of it, composed songs in ‘honor of “ Victoria's Smile” and " other subjects, ~pious or sentimental, became (early) prodigiously stout, bald, and upromantic-lovking. took to patronizing the arts and maoufactures, Germanized the nation as much as he could, and as it would stand the process, and eventu- ally turned out quite a fine character. But or Lady Flora took her expulsion irom the oval palace very deeply to heart. and many veople, thinking she had been- harshly treated, sympathized with her. When she died, which waes pot until she had written a volume of poems aud founded an educational establish- ment in Scotland, matter-of-fact folks pro- nounced the cause of deatn to have been diseare of the liver, while sentimentai oaes declared it o have been the efleet of a broken heart. Apropos of the firtations with Royal Princes, itissaid tpat the sturiesso often whispered agaiost the Prince of Wales’ morals are quite hali of them fabricated by the many fair ones who wow.d ouly too eladiy fall in love with his Royal Highness if only his Roval Hizhuess would fall_in Jove with them.
