The new woolens have what is called by mer- chants the * fluonel finish.” meaning a woolly surface, without lustre, und very soft. ‘These come in plafn edlors or in narrow stripes of two tones of a color, orclse in the Joose basket- weaving. The colors are moss, beixe brown, @ray, and black. A new camel’s hair fabric is sbown without twills and with flannel finish it is of lighter weight than aoy before shown, and is as thin as bunting or as grenadine; it is most Jargely imported in beige brown and black, ‘The gray woolens look prettiest in 0dd armure desiens, or fn stripes a fourth of n inch wide of two clear shades of a Frenet gray. The standard de bege is imported in wray, olive, moss, beige, and navy-blue. Low-priced wool- en wixtures for the willion bave tioy thread stripes and checks, or zizzag cffects of two shades, such as cream with brown, or else in contrast, as gray with red. Checked effects are given In the weaving rather thau in the color- ing; stripes will be preferred to checks, or at least they haye been more largely imported. Few plaids are shown, but there are many cross- barred patterns, COTTON SATTEENS, ETC. The lustre of satin is so popular at present that it bus been given to cotton goods, und the noreity for spring wash-dresses will be satteens, finely twilled, yet soft and flexible, and with a genuive eloss like the lustre of satin. Whether this satin finish will survive washing remaius to be seen, ont the pretty patters are said Lo be fast; theyare sma!l dowers in exquisite colors, veautifully grouped, as if designed by artists. The'grounds are sky-blue, crcam, Freuch gray, brown, or white, wid there are striped grounds of 1o contrasting tolors-rose With blue, gray with 8luk., cream with biue. These are to form y Pompadour over-dress with strived vests and plain-colored shirts. Amonr the best sat- teens are stripes of two shadesof grayor of ecru, with a border of dark cardinal red strewn with palm leaves. French and English calicoes, lawns, and or- aandies have smail figures and South Kensing- ton designs of flowers, viues, or branches on pale-blue, gray, drab, or cream grounds. Others lave stripes of two colors ou white, or small aves, rose-buds, or ragged-sailors, on ari olive, old gold, or blue ground, with dudo- like borders. The flowers or vines are massed closely together for the border, and strewn about in arsistic disorder over the breadth of the goods. The borders are two and a half or three itichies wide, uud so many yards of bordering are required to trim a dress thut a “double border is furpished by having a stripe of it down ecacn selvedge, instead of ounly on one scivedge, as was formerly done. T'be lawns_ will cost. from 25 cents to 40 cents a yard. Calicoes of solid Colors, warrauted to wash, are supplied in pale or dark blue, Turkey red, brown, and dark green, to complete costumes that are partly figrured and partly striped. The polka-dotted percales of soft finish are the most * Frenchy -looking fabrics, and are readily mistaken for foulards; these are pro- vided with a border of six narrow strives alongz the selvedge. There are cool cream-colored grounds dotted with cardinal red, brown, or blue, with striped borders the color of the dots; and there are dark olive, blue, or green grounds with white dots and stripes. Sometimes there are squares made up of duts, or a bar of color, on the white or cream ground, or clse the ground is dark and the fizures licht, while the borders have palms and arabesques, and other Eastern figures. Lineus for shirtings and for waists for girls and boys have white grounds with small horse- shoes of two colors, or linked circles, zizzag tigures, bars, and dashes. HOW TO MAKE SPRING DRESSES. The first_new dresses shown ‘tor spring have basques and coats with vests, overskirts, and Jower skirts that cliog to the fizure in front aud on the sides, and are very simply trimmed around the bottom with one or two pleated flounces. They are made of the satteens and lawns just described, with borders, and are very fancifully made witn two or three different Xinds of goods in a single dress. For instauce, a gay litlie uress of cotton sattcen has a dem trained skirt of sky blue, with a long apron overskirt of the same, much wrinkled across the front, and edzed at the bottow with a broad Daud of blue and white striped satteen,—the stripes perpendicular instead_of bins,—and be- low this _is gathered white Russian Jace. The vest is of the striped stull, and so_much of it is visible that it really becomes the basque of the suit; a jabot of lace is down the whoie front of the vest. Above all this is & tiny coat of cream and blue and red flowered satteen, sloped away from the top of the darts very far on the sides. Every detail of an elaborat¢ cos- tume is carried out in these simple fabrics. The coat {8 piped with blue, and has a striped re- vers _cotiar, and down the back of the o rt are draperies made of the fowered und striped stuffs. A simpler_percale . dress has a short, round skirt of solid green percale, with a pleated flounce, on whicly is sewed a border in white fig- ures. The curtain overskirt is figured amd trimmed with a border. The waist 15 a basque of the plain green, with a vest and sleeves of the figured percale; a border edges the vest, and the figured siceves have pointed cuffs of the vlain goods, with a border below that passes around the wrists. Still avother percale of plain brown with some flFured pereale has a double-breasted basque of the fizured goods, with an extra polks basque attached below the waist line,—a pretty und most becoming fashion. ‘The overskirt is long and rouud, and the plain short round skirt has two flounces laid in large shallow pieats. NOTES. New York Post. Fancy camel’s hair will be worn for spring suits in light tints thickly covered with differ- cnt desigus. One of the most beautiful dresses recently seen In Europe was of rosc-leal satin with a tanic of English polnt lace draped across the {front with garlands of “oeillets” and beather. Light summer siiks, which will be muci em- vloyed for street. suits, have chinchilla. stripes, or narrow clonded chine stripes st closa to- gether on brown, cardinal, garnet, blue, and other colored grounds. The Prince of Wales has set the fashion in Paris of wearing a large pin or medallion in the front of the dress shirt for full dress. The French fashion eritics are begeine for a return to the old fashion of wearing three buttons. White cravats are “a la Camareo; they are of white India mull or Bishioo's lawn, the edges plaited with falls of old lace or Breton lace: 1hey are tied and worn very larze. When knot- ted and allowed to bang down they are called Steinkerques,” from a fashion of the same date. Dresses for dancing are made extremely short in front; some reforms have also taken place since the beginning of the winter in the matter of trains; they are very inconvenient for daucers, and are therefore iuch curtailed, and in some iostances done away with altogether, and a ¢ Directoire " dress is the result! Embroideries of fine jet are still very much used; lonz vests reaching to the knees glisten with fine cut-beads in closely-worked desizns; Mme. Nilsson recently appeared with o black dress thickly covered with blue jet, the sleeves of tulle also embroidered to match. Many black dresses for evenings of silk or velvet have tile sleeves covered with embroidery of fine jet beads. Some of the mew fans arc of tramsparent gauze or erepe; ou this is painted a femals wrapped in draperics, which seems to be stand- ior in the midst of 3 snow-storm. The snow- flakes are made of fine particles of ostrich- feathers or marabot, which are put on betwveen the two thicknesses of the guuze. ‘The sticks are of mother-of-pear! carved to represent frost- work. Bougquets for the eveding of real or artificial flowers are much worn on the left shoulder if the dress is fow if it is high they are worn on the left side of the waist at the belt. Square- neck dresses_have a bouguet oo the rigot side very high up; and with a low square dress with short steeves two little curled ostrich tips are often wora in place of o bouquet, with a jewel- ed pin to fasten them on. ‘The littie red silk handkerchief turbans which are unow fashiopably journeving around the world, were first started in Paris last spring, the Princess of Wales baving sppeared in one at a Paris fete; they were immediately adopted in Paris. This laay is said to have perfect taste, and she now 6ets the fashions for both Lon- doo and Paris, In the abseace _of any hizh au- thority in Paris, such as the Empress Eugenie used o be. - - Tiicre i3 an_incréasing tendency toward the fashion wearing amall hoop-skirts; they are réeptiole, but they are worn by the shor walking-dresses from'touching the feet. Iu Paris there is a regu- lar adoption of touraures, which are worn to gave breadth to the back of thedress and to sup- port the habit-backs of coats, and they also form an fmportant part of the subport und unde: decoration of a train. which requires o ‘“batay- euse” und flounces. of some dimensions to make it take the right shape. Clinging dresses are gofa slowly but surely out of fashjon; tied-back dresses have entirely become things of the past. ‘They have recentty earned a bad pame from the fact that investiga- tion has proved that many of the women drowned at the wreckof the Princess Alice owed their utter jnability to help themselves, or to sustaln themselves when belp was given them, to the fact of their beln& incumbered with the tight-clinging skirts, which held them down. SOCIETY . TOPICS. “Handsome as a Caucasian girl,” is the highest tribute wiich 8 Turk can pay to femate loveligess. i ‘Whiite cashmere, of the exquisite cream shade, combined with faille; fs much used 1n evening dresses for young ladiés.” A stylish couple East had so many friends that they could not make their wedding-cake go round, so they had it photographed and sent pletures of it to all their friends; which was considered anything but tasty. Ladics desirous of purchasing a first-class up- right piano should call 'at the manufactory of Mr. Gerold, Wabash avenue. His instruments are highly recommended by such artists as Mime. Gerster, Minnic Hauk, aud Arditi, of Her Mujesty’s opera troup! sa by many firse- class musicians of this city, who have purchased these intruments. Napoleon’s china, plate, and table-linen, bearing the ivitials “*N. E.,” are tobe sold _at auction in Paris. The possessions of Pius IX. are being disposed of In three chambers ag the Vatican, under the direction of Mgr. Pericoli. Nearly all the purchasers are women, most of thewm Toreiguers, sud 4 large proportion of them are beretics. Many ladies have, iu the vnst two weeks, pur- chased from the accumulation of fine custom- made shoes, at Jow prices, 2t P. Ketler’s, Mon- roe street, opuosite Palmer House. A small supply of those excelleat shoes still remain. A zood point is very tersely put in a maeazine article where it is said that ““The American fs not so solicitous to live within his income as he is to rais¢ his income to the level of his extrava- eances.” For once rumor is true. The Chicazo Carvet Company, now at 233 State street, will remove, about March 1, to Wabash aveoue, and, until then, slaughter prices in carpets, furmiture, and wall-paper, to save movi.g them. Friends are discovered rather thau made; they are people who are in their own nature friends, only they don't know each other; butcertain things, Iike poetry, music, and paintingsare like the Frecmason’s sign—they reveal the initiated o each other.

A National Colonization Conference has been caled by St. Patrick’s Society of Chicago to assembie in the Grand Pacific Hotel, this city, at 12 o'clock noon St. Patrick’s Day. The call receives the hearty concurrence and approbation of the feading orzanizations devoted to the in- terests of irish colonization, several of the prominent Catholic Bishops of the West; the Rev. Theo_Ambrose Butler, President of the National Board of Colonization; Mr. Dillon O'Brien, and others promiocutly identified with the cause. ‘The objects of the “conference a Driefly, to advise as to the best and most el cieat means to promote and_encourage imimi- eration to the lands in localities which will as- sure torIrish settlers religious and educational advantages among those of their own faith and Kkinared, and at the same time an ample reward for their toil and industry; 10 organize central bureaus or offices in the prinepal cities for the purpose of furnishing information to iwmigrants and colonists, ui ing and ussisting them to their destination, p tecting them from 1mposition, arding thein azainst the wiles of sharpers and unscru- pulous land-speculators; to form, if possible, a national association to systematize aud direct Catbolic immigration; and, in short, toena- ble rhe poorer classes amoos the Irish to become owners and cultivators of e laud and acquire comfortable homes in the invitin, ricultural districts of the West and South. Such un asso- ciation, it is believed, would form a powerful aunliary to the cause of Irish coloniza- tion. The conference Will be composed of aceredited representatives from the di ferent colonization socicties in the United States, the number of representatives to be ixed by those societies, avd the'question as to a is of representation, should it _arise, to be to the assembled wisdom of the confer- ence. The call siates that the assembly will be in the interest of noone seetion or particular scheme of colonization, and that it is called in the couviction thiat its labors will be, directed imopartially for the good of 'the peopleand the benefit of cvery deserving colony without dis- crimination. Where no societies exist, it 1s sug- gested that the Bishop of the diocese, or dis- trict, appoins delezaues, and that wotitication of al! appointments of delegates be sent to WV, J. Onahan, President of St. Patrick’s, prior to the meeting of the conference. = LOCAL MISCELLANY. THE CITY-ITALL. The license receipts were $200. The serip clerk paid out $1,200. Not a case of scarlet fever was reported to the Health Department. There were 155 deaths last week, about the same as in the previoas one. The Town Collectors have turned in thus far this month $59,275 in serip, and the Treasurer has redeemed 36,342 of the $35,000 called in. A final estimate for 86,104 was issued_bv the Department of Public Works to the Keystone Brisge Company for work doue on the Eigh- teenth street viaduct. The Finance Committee did not concur in the Comptroller’s idea of giving the City Treasurer a salary of $5,000 and paying the expenses of his oflice, and struck out the item. The Treasurer’s receipts were: South Town Collector Ayres, $19.814; North Town Collector Miller, $1,227; water oftice, §5,803; Comptroller, $97. Total, $36,%42. He paid out $3,000. The Department of Public Works will adver- tise Monday for proposals for the construction of an eugziuc-house, chimney, ete., for the ma- chh:;:ry at the east end of the Fullerton avenue conduit. For the first time in_the history of the city, the Treasurer has something else to do besides sitting in a chair and watching the safe. The serip ‘has to be checked off when it comes in, aud calling off mwnbers aud amounts now ab- sorbs the Treasurer's time. THE COUNTY BUILDING. There is to be more of the Callaghan case to- morrow. W. A. Devine, the milk-contractor, leaves for Ireland this evening, and will be abscnt about three months. He goes in quest of health. Judgze Williams arraigned fifty prisoners yes- terday afterncon, all ot whom were charged with minor offenses. They were the usually innocent erowd, if their word is to be taken for it, and were all remanded. 2 James W. Morse, of Kane County, made a voluntary assiznment in the County Court _yes- terday, and D. C, Adams was appointed As- signee. His assets are put at $1,720, the most of which he claims as exempt. In the Criminal Court yesterday the jury in the case of Peter Campbell, who was tried Fri- day for lurceny, was found to be unable to agree after being out all nizlit, and was discharged at 2o'clock. Tim Moore and Edward Mullizan were found guilty of larceny and miven three and a balf years cach in the Penitentiary. A gentleman came all the way from the Vil- lage of Niles Centre yesterday to ascertain whether a license had been issued to Farmer Hurms to keep a dram-shop. When he found that nowe bad been issued, he narrated how the Farmer was_running 2 groggery and keeping everybody drunk, and as he left he said Le wouid make it lot for the old gentleman as soun as he ot home. The Committee on Jail and Jail Accounts had o lengthy session yesterday aiternoon cogsider- 1og the claim of ex-Sherift Kern and two of bhis assistants for work done after Dec. 1 in closing. up the Sheriff's accounts, etc. Mr. Kern was represented by ao attorney, and_the discussion partook of a legal character, while the assistants were represented by Fraok Cunningbam, who based bis claim upon the ground of equity and right between the county and himself. 'I'he re- sult of the wrangle was the claims of Cunning- ham and Garrick were allowed, and Mr. Kern requested to turn whatever funds he had be- lougine to the county at once. The Committce did not decide that Kern had no claim in justice, but from the ambiguity of the statutes on the subject it could do ‘mothing eise than it did. They expect Kern to refuse to turn over the money ($1,023), and the question will then go to the courts toitest whether or not a Sheriff can | be paid for the necessary services performed in settling up his business” after the expiration of his term of office.

If they are cntitled to pay in this case they are entitled to it in all cases, and if in this court, in all courts, so there is no estimatiug where the cxpense will stop. A majority of the Judges are understood to differ from Judge Williams in his ruling, and under the circumstances it would seem the part of discretion on the part of the Clerk of the Criminal Court to o slow. There is not less- than $30,000 a year to the county involved in the ?uestiun, and, since the Judees disaeree, it would uot be bad ooliey on the part of those whose duty it is to issue jurors’ certificates in the several courts to err, it at all, on the side of public economy, and to refuse to issuc certificates uutil compelled to by man- damus or other proeess. The Republican members of the County Board held s caucus yesterday morning to s¢- lect names for the cngineera to Le elected to- morrow. They selected the committee-room for the purpose, and had a quict time, excluding reporters and everybody else. Al were present. except Messrs. Seone and Spofford, and har- mony is sad to lave prevailed, althouzh some of the caucugers were afterwurd caucusingz with the otherside of the house. The result of the yery private meeting was that it was resolyed to dismiss all of the eugineers now employed by the county, and to_appoint Edward McDonald for the Hospital, a Mr. Schmidt for the lnsane ‘Asylum, and a Mr. Rigland, from the country, for the Jail and Criminal Court Buildizg. The first-onmed is__understood to have been suggested by Mr. Coburn, the second b Mr. Boese, and the third by Mr., Wood. It remains to be_secn whether they will be elected or not. Better luid plans have been defeated Lelore, and since some of the engi- neers whom it is proposcd to remose have some warm Iriends in the Board, and sowe of the members of the caucus are decidedly unreiiavle, it would be unsale to wager 4 pinch of snuff on the result. GOVERNMENT BUILDING. Collector Harvey returned from Springfield Friday night. He repots everytbing lovely at the State Capital. The internal revenue receipts yesterday were $10,142. Whisky contributed $16,735; cigars, 2,100; beer, $165. The Sub-Tressary disbursements yesterday azeregated $67,000. The subscriptions to the ¢ per cents footed up §4.800.

Daum told him the vresent Grand Jury had not returned an indict- ment, and the case would probably be brought up before the nextoue. Richardson said the case was nozfixaposud of. Ve just postponerd it for a week 6r so: and if you care much about can be fixed so that you can get an indict- zinst hmé." Bauin asked how he wountd i Richardson raplied: You kuow well euough how thost cases nave to be hxed uo. you put up some'inoney in McDouald’s Store. tan be tixed cozydh Richardson said further that it took twelve, and that it would be worth 81,000 advertising i€ be could get ** that man™ ingicted.

As to Schmidt, Baum met him on State street, near Eldridwe court, the day he was before the Grand Jury. Schmidt ‘was with another person, aud said be would go with him (Baum). 'They went to the Pavition, sud had & drink, and Schmidt - said, “Let’s sit down.” ~ He said his (Baum’s) case was not disposed of, bat bad been post- poned about a week, and they would very likely take it up again.

LOUIS SIWING, Baum’s barkeeper, testitivd that he saw Rich- ardson when he called, and also Schmidt, who came in twice and asked for Bauum after they bad been in the saloon together. This was the case of the prosecution. Mr. Childs stated that the ** theory " of the defense was thatit was u case of mistaken ident- ity.
