Lizziz CLARK HARDT. ANOTHER BONANZA QUEEN. San Francisco Chroniele. ‘We have been allowed to Inspect the most ex- tensive and clegant wardrobe cver made or owued on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, and probably never before surpassed in the world ontside of the homes of the nobility, in extent and completeness. It isthe property of a San Francisco lady, young and besutiful, whose statuesque form they become most regally. She has just left for an Eastern city preparatory to meking the grand tour of Europe. There were in the collection between thirty and forty robes ' of all kinds and of every variety of rare device. Only the finest, the richest, the rarest, the m delicate material had been used in their cre- ation,~silks, satins, velvets, and snow laces, such as envelope the form like an encasing snowdrifi. Some of them came from Worth, the Paris man-milliner, at whose shop they were ordered six months ago. The entire wardrobe, with its attenaant paraphernalia, could not have cost less than $100,000, not fncluding dinmonds, hereafter to ‘e mentioned, withsolia old dressing-cases and inbumerable toilet articles of luxurious concep- tion and fabulous cost. The principal dresses may be described as follows: A rich pear] satin ball dress, with volaminous overdress of real blatk Chantill; lace suspend- ed by slender bands across the shoulders, the narrowness of the bands being intended to assist in the display of costly diamond armlets wora far above the elbow. The overdress is looped with bougquets of autummu-leaves and crimson ‘buds, and has & flounce of the samé laee. A white eatin bail dress, with point lace over- garment, rare and delieate, looped and render- ed more graceful by aspiral wreath of ferus. A cardmal velvet and coral piuk silk robe, the two shades artistically intermingled, with hand- some chenille fringe. also of two shades, to mateh. The trimmiug is a wreath of tea roses running diagonally around the skirt, the roses of corresponding shade of pink. A dinger dress of pink satin, with brocaded overdress of ecru and brown, with fringe to match. g A sea-green silk, with real point d’Alencon, fine as a cobweb, a flounce and Marie Antoinette of the same costly material. The lacc overgzar- meut is of such full pattern that the wearer of the robe scems like Venus risiog from the waves. The green skirt shines throush the overgarment ke the hue of the sea through Its foam. A ball costume of cream-colored silk aud black Chantilly, the lace entirely covering the g:mfmm neck to hem, and looped back with uquets of cardinal-red flowers, > A magnificent dinner or evening costume of black \'fi‘?el, embroldered insilk aud jet beads; Bounce of Chautilly lace.

The fans match the costumes. They are made of all the costly ar of real ostrich feathers, with richly- carved handles, some of them splendidly - gold- monnted. Their aggregate value is not less than £5,000. There are a dozen house-sacks of pink; blue, and white cashmere, each embroia- ered in its proper shade—four of each color. All of the dresces are made with elegant inside trains of white muslis, of a pattern new in America, intended only to be visible when en- tering or leaving a carriage. ‘Among the things which will accompany this handsome lady who visits Europe eo regally dressed is a dressing-case, the toilet articles which it contains all made of solid zold. ‘The magniticent diamonds that belong with the wardrobe will be remembered by many connoisseurs In preclous stones who saw them when they were for some weeks exhibited ata well-known jewelry cstablishment on Mont- gomery strect. They are of great number and exquisite purity, and combined with fine taste in an infinite variety of beautiful forms. Other wealthy ladies of San Francisco may be the oossessors of collections of brilliants whose ageregate value is equal to that of these, but none have them so tastefully arranged. ‘they have employed the talent of “our finest resident Jjewelry manufacturers, and have been seversl years arriving at their present degree of per- Tection. Tuere are five full sets, comprising necklace, armlets, bracelets, and carrings. The first is made ot solitaire diamonds, the centre oue 2 regal stone of immense value. Nonme_of these indiridual stones is worth less than §5,000, and the cntire value of the piece i3 about $75,000. Dismond stars depend from the solitaires of the necklace. The armlets arc of solitaires to mateh, with stars depending. The bracelets correspond in style. The chatelaine, which can be worn with any of the sets, is made of a scries of dismond-studded rioes, passing about the waist, and falling over the lett hip, where it is confined by & crescent, which is 3 mass of dia- monds, with diamond stars depending. The set is rendered complete by solitaire carrings, a diamond for the hair, and "a feather set with diamonds to loop the skirt. The second set is of scarcely less beauty, though the diamonds are smaller. Maltese crosses hang from the solitaires of the necklace and from those of the armlets, as do thestars in the set described. The braceiets watch. The earrings .are crosses, exquisitely made. The crosses can be displaced from the settings if de- sired and worn separately. The third set is made of emeralds and diamonds. The necklace is of large emeralds,withtwo or three diamonds, diminishing in size, depending from cach. The bracelets, armlets, and earrings are made to match, and there is an emerald beetle set with diamonds to fasten the hair. There is also a set of coral anddiamonds made in a style somewhat similar, the diamonds sus- pended from the coral; and 4 pearl and diamond sct, with carrings of large pearls, with two or thiree aiamonds suspended from each pearl, Besides these there are numerous rings, both cluster and solitaire. "The entiro value of the collection far exceeds £100,000.

Hrekland Courier. The boy who sells fruit and confectionery on the train is usually a very vigorous sort of boy, with an eye strictly to busisess, acd with no ro- mantic thoughts running through his active brain. One of them came very neur ruining the happiness of two young souls for life the other day. A young man sat in the seat with a pretty girl, and, though the passengers couldn’t dis- tinguish their conversation from thenoise made by the cars, it was pretty evident that what was being said was of great interest to the young aving: “Jennie, darliog, 1 have long been wishing an opportunity to tell you of my greay regard for '— “ Peanuts 27 jnquired the fruit and confee- tionery boy, thrusting his basket in front of the pair, 17 pxclaimed the young man, inan an- noyed tone, and waving his band to one side. “As I was saying, Jenuie.” he continued, when the Loy bad passed on, *‘I have long wanted to tell you of my regard for you.

New york Sun, Fev. 7. A houseful of women waited for George Fraveis Traw yesterday at the ladfes’ matince in the Newark Grand Opera-House. A woman hod sold them tickets at the box-office, and women had acted as usbers. - In the boxes were expensively-dressed women, and not a man was to be seen. The combiuea chatting of the au- dience was liké the humming of a thousand hives of industrious bees. A sharp lookout was kept up lest a mau should put in an. appear- anee; and, os the proprictor of the building walked down the main aisle ta speak to a lady acquaintance, a storm of hisses broke out, and ended in o merry jeal of Jaughter. Hehastened back. Some clderly women on the front seats kept an eye on the” etuge, snd one, in mitts and_ spectacles, detectinz @ scene shaking, jumped to ber feet and held both hands - up, a8 Georze Francis Train marched upon the stage with his head erect, and wearing,a pigeon- tailed coat and immaculace kid gloves. He held a puckage of letters, all received from ladies, he within twenty-four hours. “ There's noue but our sex here, is there?” he exclaimed, peering all around — * You know this is a_close corporation. There’s the, most intensely interested lot of men outside vou can imagine—trying to find a crack o look throngh. Who would think that <o many women would break the chain of custom and come here alone! That -simple fact neans emancipation for women. 1 see rainbows all round the sky for you. N AIr, Train read and answered several letters, *“ Whose duty is it to get up first fu the morn- ing to attend to the fire—the wife’s or hus- band’s?”? was one of the questions. ““That,” eaid Mr. Train, **is the question of caste over again, There is no poetry or beant; in a womau'’s toiling and grubbivg over a beef- steak for a great, fat man. 1t he bad any noble mauhood in him, 2 husband would get up and build the fire himself1* [Applause with bLeels and hands.] “Caste started from Adam.

Her accepted lover was poor in purse and her parents would not let her marry nim. A broken-hearted maiden!*’ safd Mr. Train, scornfully, *'Tisn’t the heart—it’s the stomach. The reason girls use the term heart is because it fs casy to get a rhyme for it—and so hard to zet one for stomach, Dyspepsia is called a broken heart. Here's a couple to be married,” A_I‘nd Ar. Train personified the pricst, sayinm, Are you willing to take this brown-stone frout, this miseraple fraud cailed 4 man, this tobaceo-flavored, i smelling carcass for your note eigned: beloved husband?

[Hysterical laughter.] * Whoever is satisfied with this talk 0 {z\r, say aye.” Approval was unanimous. *But aren't you metting eaough of this??* said Mr. Train, suddenly..

Perhaps there is no significance in the® fact that of the only two persons ever born with double tongues two were giris.

The Alliance Between the Delaware Senator and the American Representative of the House ol Rothschild, Dispatch to New York Graphic. WasniNGToy, D. C., Feb. 7.—It is understood that the malls have been laden for some time past with letters addrossed to Senators Lamar, Hill, Bayard, and the other anti-silver Senators and Congressmen, protesting against their course. Facts, arguments, and expostulations are freely used to change the course of these misrepresentatives. Senator Bayard especially comes in for a zood deal of criticism, as he ac- kuoowledzed the value of gilver in the specches he first delivered sfter his entraoce to the Sen- ate. The fact is now rccalled that Bayard was one of the Committee of the Senate which dropped the silver dollar from our coinage. Sherman, Scott, aud Bayard were the Senate Comumittee of Conference with the House Com- mittee. And in this connection the fact is re- called that August Belmont has always been an advocate of Senator Bayard as a Presidential caudidate. The great sporting interest of the country, that is, the interest represented by the Ameriean Jockey Club. the Maryland Jockey Club, snd the Monmouth Park, and Saratoga Racing Associations, were ail in favor of Bayard, mainly through the personal influence of Mr. Belmont. There would scem to have been an understanding between the distinzuished Sen- ator aud the distinguished rcEresemut!ve of the Rothschilds ever since 1573, when Bayard helped to drop the silver dollar from our coinage. No ono belfeves Senator Bayard to be corrupt, but he certainly s ambitious; and he has won the eratitude of the representative of the House of Rotbschild i his earnest fight agaiust the re- sumption of silver. X —————— THE LIQUOR QUESTION. To the Editor of The Tribune, Cn1caao, Feb. 9.—Your remarks this morn- ing on the petitions offered in the Wisconsin Legislature to enact a law to prohibit the sele of intoxicating liquor, are much to the point; but you should not set your iufluence too strongly against such a measure, for how do you know but that the sentiment of the people of the State is demanding some protection against the inroads of this evil ot intoxication? Neal Dow, Reynootds, Murphy, the Crusaders, and the leaders of the temperance movement now in the field, are at work to crease public seutiment in favor of temperance; and, if this_ sentiment demands assistance from the Legislature, they should bave it, for what is the Legislature but the representative of the people?—or at least it would be if men who are sent to make up this representation would carry out the sentiment of their constituency. This they fall to do, and. in lieu thercof, sbend their time in the promotion of some personal schemes in the interest of party, the mainstay of which, wo'all know, is the rum-seller and his satellites. Look at the report of the Comptroller of this city, publishea this morning, of the re- csipts and expenditure of city money for 1877: 29,359 20,081 Fines (Police Conrts). House of Correction...

And we all know that 90 per cent of all crime is produced by alcohol. The temperauce-work of the present day will create such s gentiment fn its favor that the public will demand some relief, or st least that the privilege of sclling rum should be made ' commensurate with tho cost of its causes; in other words, the license- fec should be made at least that sum which the number of saloons divided into the last year’s cost of reform and crime would show. In the present case, it should be 2,600 into $1,300,000, or sav 3500 each, which il leave sowmething over for the cost of the run- niog of the department, W. A. BARNES. ———— CHURCH OF ATONEMENT.

They Play the Douce with Tennessec School Commissioners, Who in Turn Play the Deuce with Them. 2 Special Correspondence of The Tribune. NASRVILLE, Tenu,, Feb. 4.—The Wigeinses dre a precious pair. Their firat appearance at Franklin, the county-site of Williamson, pro- duced no startling dramatic cffect. They were, however, enacting a drawa, the closing scencs of which found them behind the bars. The elder is 40 years old; the younger, 24. The for- mer had traveled; the latter was represented as Lknowing but little of this eiuful, wicked world. ~ Both are possessed of 8 re- markable gift of gab. They aro plausi- ble,—full of sophistry. Wlfen they first broke bread at the little, unostentatious tavern at which they registered their names at Frank- 1in, they were asked to say grace. 'The elder re- sponded in a beautiful prayer. Ile sald {t with so much unction, with 50 much pathos, with such a clerical air, as to captivate every one around the table. No one clse was permitted to say grace at that table while he remained. But he had other missionary work to perform. He was to go on a tour of evangelization among the School Commissioners. He was to have them sign what they supposed was a recommendation of school-apparatus, but which provea to be, to their subsequent amazement, an order on the County Trustec for what- ever sum of money the Wizginses chose to put down. Intnis the Wigginses were remarkably successful, They asked four prices for thefr wares, but they sold none of them. They were satisfied with what they obtalved,—the slgna- ture of the Commissioners to supposititious recommendations which they pretended to read, To do this, !hcj resorted to various subterfuges. 1f they failed to convince the unsus- pecting ~ Comnmissioners that they were the agents of the house of Barnes & Co., Chicago,—which they were not.—and hal a recommendation from the State Superintendeut of Public Instruction,—which they did not,— “they captivated them with geographical songs. ‘They wWere fine singers. Many of the Com- missfoners were of the olden times. In the days of their youth they were wont to sit on hard, backless seats, resting on the clay floor of a log school-house, and to driok 1 geo- graphical lore through the harmonlous strains of a boyish voice.g Their sympatbies were thus very naturally aroused, aud, as a matter of ac- commodation, they were willing to rec- ommend the school-apparatus, if they did nothing more. The result was that the Wigginses presented to the County Trustee orders. filled out by themselyes, the signatures excepted, amounting to $1,330, which amount they were in_such a hurry to ob- tain as to offer a bonus of 12} per cent for the orders to be taken off their hands. This aroused suspicion; they were arrested, tuken through a committing examination, and jugeed. “The elder Wiggins lms a cheek far sur- passing that of the average life-iusurance agent, Yesterday be adurcssed a note to members of the Methodist Church, tell- ing them, if they would permit him to come out of jail be would * come up and show them how to sing.” This proposition, however, was was of course not aceepted. The Wigginses secured $1,350 in Sumner County on the sale of these fraudulent orders, having sold them to two men, whbo purchased them on soeculation. The Wigginses are now in demand. They are wanted in Sumner and Montgomery Counties Tenuessce, and the -youngest in Missouri, where they have cogaged in sfwmilar transactions, The elder Wizgins has bLeen en- gaged in the business for the past five or six years, and claims until Dpow to have escaped arrest. He says he got fnto a little scrape in Missourl himself, but, having made it all right with the Sheriff, it was vot a very difficult matter to get beyond the clutches of the law. Both are splendid singers. It is very likely they will be detained in their present eages for some time to come. A requisition has just been received from ghe Governor of Missouri for the younger Wigafbs; but, 2as it was accompanied’ by no officer, it is more than likely he will remain where he is, unless' 2 more imperative invita- tivn should be extended.

Cmicago, Feb. 0.—I find by reference to my file of the orfginal TRIRUNE, which I have had for somo years, and think is the only oue in ex- istence, that No. 1, Vol. 1, was issued April 4, 1340. The notice of Horace Greeley's first issue (April 10, 1311) is publishea by Ryan, May 1, 1841, a copy of which I havewritten and inclose. You will see by comparing that your item was not a’correct quotation frowm the original notice. Since we have so little Instory about Chivago, that which we do have should be as nearly ac- curate a3 possible; henco this note. J.F. From The Chicago Tribune, May 1, 1841, TWhat's in @ nume ¢ Horace Greeley has es- tablished a dnng paper_in New York called the Trivune, Wish yowd found another God- father, stranger. “Mr. Greeley, however, if a Whig, is a gentleman of talents and acquire- ments; and the name might be in infinitely worse hands, as every troubled reader of Whig ‘papers bereabouts knows passing well. e — CLIMBERS MAKE A HAUL. The series of robberies that bave been perpe- trated in this city during the past six montns, by what have been called the *climbers,” cul minated last evening in the largest robbery of the winter. While the family of W. II. Lee, of No. 62 North Sheldon street, was at supper lagt eveming, the residence was eotered by climbers, aud about $1,000 worth of jewelry aod clothing was carried off as plunder. The house {s situated in u row that has been visited a half-dozen times within the Y:ls!/ six months, and in cach fustance large hauls haye been made. In facl this portion of the West Divis- fon 1s overrun with thieves, and the West Division police scem powerless to cope with them. A Ralf-dozen burglaries in this im- mediate neighborhood foot up more than the eotire list'in the South Division. The police have warned the -public agaiust thicves who prowl about at supper time, but the warnings appear to have been unheeded. ———— JOURNALISTIC.

The comparison is odioas, M The leading produce markets were again irregn- lar Saturday. rrovisions were stronger, in reac- tfon from Friday's decline, as abont all the weak- kneed longs appeared to have been shaken out of the deal. Wheat was higher early, but fell off when consols were quoted 34 higher, and did not recover when consols were afterwards quoted the same a3 Friday's closing. Barley was lower, ond otmer breadstulls steady, with little doing. There was not much disposition to operate in grain, dullness oeing the rule, With a few flashes of activity nowand then in wheat —chleflyof a local character. The feeling with regard to the probable onicome of the European sitnation was a8 uncertain as ever, and outside op- erators were disposed to quletness till they can see thelr way o little more clearly.

Linsced, whale, turpentine, etc., were steady. Leather was in good request on city and country account, and was firm. Bazzing, tobacco, paints, coal, and wood were quoted as before. Hogs were in light supply and prices averaged ¢ higher, clostng firm at $3.65@+.00 for poor to extra heavy, and at $3.90@4.00 for light.

The wool and broom-corn markets were quiet and steady. Secds were in fair request, prime clover snd timothy being frm under small offerings. Iay was quict and unchanged.
