New York ierard. i The most pointed surprisc of the new season is the restoration of the panicr, or thé so-called Camargo puff, which wss jntroduced in the eighteenth century along with the Watteau dresses and garden theatricals. It is predicted that fashion. will restore the, very Camargo which was ocee calied * a rage and a vertigo,” ‘but until it is safe to venture upon extravagzance paniers will be of tue same waterial as the dress, and'procured more by loopings, draperics, and trimmiogs than Ly separate pufls, wings, etc., applied to the costume. For ordinsry walking-dresses & “trimmed skirt—that is, a skirt with the trimmiog ar- ranged dircetly on it—is combined with cket mofe or less tignt-fitting, or an overskirt and short skirt, the latter either trimmed with a Smple flounce or left lain, according to the goods used. Polonaises of simple designs are also employed to complete costames, but are not so fashionable us the above-mentioned ar- rangements. For suitings the * tailor”* finish— rows of machine-stitching—is the accepted trim- ming, the vest, collars, cuffs, and revers of some different material from the rest of the gar- ment. For costumes mude of cloth and the heavier woolen goods used for early spring and traveling the underskirt is not unfrequently without trinimil any kind, cxcepting several rows of stitching near the bottom, and The over- gkirt 15 of some simple desim, like the & Birena,” the ** Muriel,” or the “Lilea,” fin- ished to match the underskirt. TOE FRANCISCA. This is one of the simplest and most practical desiens for a trimmed walking skirt. It hasa moderately boufTant drapery, and is finished by adeep kilt plaiting on the "bottom. This skirt is suitable alike for heavy or light goods, dressy or ordinary wear, s s really an_excelient de- sign for washing fabrivs. For dressy wear, or where a combination of materials i ed, the Berenice is especially @esirable. This has a short, fully-draped apron, from which revers are tnrned back and carried Lo the buck, wiere they support the drapery in o moderate pouf. Ao- Sibernew style, especially suitable for summer silks and grenadines, Is the Litta, which has the apron and side gores puffed 2 nd the back effect- ively draped. Lwo, aift even three, materials are uscd in the combination for street costumes, and thss applies to the simple suits made of per- cale, cotton eatine, marine cloth, and other fabrics for summer wear. The rule observed when only two fabrics are uscd is Lo have the costume itself made entirely of one gools and the accessories and trimmings of e oiher. “Phere is & wide scope for the exereise of much tastein the selection and arrancement of the goous 1o be used in cumbination, and, while & fone contrasts are allowable, good taste dic- tates that the arrangement 1must not be bizarre in eficet. SILES. There is no doubt that _the present popularity of brocades, used in combination with plain silk or veivet, has affeeted the sale and maoufacture of silks proper. Neveriheless, the latter class of fabrics are always iu demand. Auwncr Dbrocades are in high favor, the supply for sp being more varied and Leautital thad ever. suring styles are introduced in all the fashiona- ble colors, includi everal varieticsin grarnet shades, navy-blue, drab, wood color, and “ liv- ery ? color, which has beeu 5o _popular during thie winter, and when combined - with velvet matehing in siade forms a rich and_clegant cos- tume at 3 low price, as_the brovade can be bad au 5150 per vard. All silk satins of Amer- Jean menufacture will also be: popular dress materials tbis sesson. They arc showa in a variety of colors for day and cvening wear, and those in dark shades, sprinkled with white “polka dots,” are very beautiful. Ther Sre of soft texture, drape gracefully, do not umple ? easily, and are twenty-two inchos wide. Their price is about $L.30 per yard. There is s variety of shades in blue, and the black, with white * polisa_dot” combined with black velvet, forms 2 stylishcostume. Summer silks are clouded over by chine Kfl(tcms, which Show among small broken checks and ‘strines, while others in small quiet plaids are loosely Woven, whence the name, seree quadrillee, which bas been applied to them. Peliin stripes are shown in silks of one coldt, the satin and silk stripe alternating. Guipure is the name ziven a class of open-work fabrics of gilken textnre. Efeetive silks, either white or_in pale shades, are wrought fn jardiniere stripes of medium width. : FASHIONABLE COLOBS. Colors quite new and strange are the Canaque, or cannibal, a succession of copper shades, the patae belng given from the resemblance to the copoer complexion of a tribe of cannibuls. Blue { Patmely brouzht forward, andiappears m many Gifferent shades; but, with the exception of the Gark marine blues or the palest tints, mixtures of green are often ore or less appareut. The ost pronounced blue of the season is called Sappbire, and this, but for an overasting of green, weuld be a rival of that positive blue which for along time has been consigned to oblivion. Gendarme 1s a dark shade ot military Dlae, and other blues of a milder type are Jap- onais und bleu de Sevres. Baltic blue is almost gray, and the clear, pale blues arc too at- tractive to be relinquisbed. Yellow finds zood representation iu the mew spring colors but the suade most in favor is old gold. Tale yellows are by no ineavs._ ignored, and in _new Howers excellent results are produced by shad- ings from pale yeltow into reddish tints. The Dbeime shades also appear freguently. Garnet and wine shades have taken a- new lease of life, and are brought forward cverywhere, and io all sbades, from such xs are so deep as to run al- most itto black upto othurs resembling the Jute red of lighter wines. ~ Fivoine (peont)isa combination of garnet and plum color. Viessy rouge is a new brizht red. Dark plum is Dot vx- tensively employcd, yet servesas a fashionable color. ‘The lighter shades of prupe are 00% much eecn. This place scems .to have been usurped by the wine colors, but it is in the Daou (peacock) colors of the day that_ the greatest mixtures and chaogeable hues appear. NEW STTLES IN TRIMMINGS. Prominent in the list of choice trimmings are the finely-beaded passementeries, which repro- duce some of the designsalready familiar, while {he more expensivs'grades represent leaf pat- terns of various forms, verfectly-executed tulips or fuchsias depending from the centre of. the leaf. Some of the passementeries are re- lieved and brightened by a delicate tracery of gold or silver threads interspersed 20 as to form arabesque or Grecian designs througnout ihe Dattern. The eflect is rich, but by no means gaudy, and the styjes and vrices are such as to render these goodsrather exclusive, for a time atleast. These cost from 35to §12 per yard. Puinted bands for dresses are seen of exqusite Gesign and artistic beauts. 'These are vamnted by band on velvet, satin, and silk. Flowers in 1 their richest_tinis, birds of brilliant plum- ace, jewels, shells, and musical fustruments are painled with all skill and fidelity to naiure on these beautiful and artistictrimmings. Fringes ‘have by no meaus lost.their prestige, and may be bad in as great diversity of design as there is giversity of taste. The average depth of fxinyes is from “An entirely new fringe is forme bacliground - of of a hand-crocheted heading, | cents per dozea up. four to six inches, including- twist, front of crimped tape and bands of par- row passementerie, luterspersed With strands of crocheted silk, the ends of the passementerie bands finished with a tiny satin or crocheted ball. This elaborate [ringe may be bad at $3 per yard. Mauy plaiu silk fringea are still sewed underneath the edee of the goods, and no head- fug whatever is used. Woolen {rioges arc no Jonger considered fashionable, altbough ve! neat patterns are still_sparingly used on all- Vool garments where there are no ends of dra- pery to be trimmed. Flain hems und rows of machine stitchmg are the most stylish finish on all other purts ol all-wool costumes. Fagocey ribhons are largely used for loops, and _in some desiens form a complete cascade down the {ront of adress. These ribbons vary in width from a bslf inch to ten inches und a balf, and are of all colors and shades of satin, with lizards, flowers, fern-leaves, and other devices composed of gilt and silver bullion, aud fire silk floss woven into the ribbon. ‘Lhe price ranzes irom 25 cents per yard up. For trimming evenine dresses, cr: stal, pearl, and white satin _beaded and bugled laces are shnw)é:md effective, and cost from $2 per yard up. Spanish blond is a kind of lace ususlly employed, and the beads follow the pattern of the lace, either covering it entirely or only de- fining the outline. Embroidered silk muslio is muih used for the garniture of dressy tollets, aml comes in new and_chofce designs. Price, $2 to $2 per yard. - Self " trimmings foliow upholsterine desigos, and are often put on with- out fullness, but cut oat either in round,square, or pointed designs on the lower side, and faced or bound with 3 contrasting color or fimshed with a fringe. Tassels in upholstering eflects are then placed to fall in the opening made by the cutting out. Pekin, a striped material of satin and silk or satin and velvet, is much used for trimmiug, and is cut out &0 that the stripes are either lorizontal or perpendicular rather than bias, this being uscd as & garniture for the bottom of the skirt, for collars, cufls, vest, or any accessory trimming desired. ¢ BUTTONS. Olive and barrel-shaped hand-crocheted but- tons, either all silk or combined with jet, will be wuch used oo garments trimmed with passe- menterie. Wood buttons, hand-painted in gold and colors, are very choice, lizht, and effective, and cost from 85 cents per dozen up. French horn, both in natural color and dyed, arc inlaid with gold and pearl in raised desfgas, represcot- iy stars, beasts, reptiles, fishes, and fowls. Crystal elass butons, sometimes called *Rhine pebbles,” are_ introduced. These are cat in facets xud set in platina, and have a mostibrill fant effcct at uight; the prices vary from 75 Medium_sizes only, in any find of button, are fashionable, and the quality used is totally dependent upon the styls of the garment, sonte_requiring vnly what will fasten §le vest, and otliers a suflicient number o out- line the cuffs, pockets, ete.

What the Board Has Dono in the Way of Paying Off Debts, The State Legislaturc baving passed the act for the consolidation of the dates of election of town and village officers in Oyde Park, and, there- fore, the next sct of village officials baving to be hosen on the first Tuesday in April, Mr. John J. Benrictt, President of the Board of Trastees of the above-named village, has deemed it obliga- tory upon himselt and the other incumbents to male their annual report at this juucture in ad- vance of the election. He docs this mnow, he says, *“upon the theory that the people are enti- tled to know from their public sgrrants the actual condition of their affairs entrusted to them.” Mr. Bennctt enters at the outset some- what lengthily uoona recital of the circum- stances which have developed the present UNFORTUNATE CONDITION "OF THE VILLAGR TREASURY of Hyde Park, and remarks that the President of the Village Board immediatcly preceding the present one stated in his last report that the villare had “in the Treasury §60,000 in cash,” and added: “You (the former Board) have the satisfaction of handing over to your successors in office the affairs of the wunicipality in good working order. Thercis sifficient cashin the Treasury for the immedidte necessities of the several departments.” This flattering state- ment as to the condition of things unfoitunate- 1y did ot prove to be correct. The present Board found *a worse than empty Treasury. The warrants drawn by the former Board de- manding immediate payment exceeded the cash turned over to Mr. Follansbee by $5,609.12.” Mr. Beunett then refers to the defaleation of Mr. Waldron, the former Treasurer, which fact \vas brought out by the persistent refusal of the prasent Board to reappoint that gentleman un- il he could show that he beld the funds of the village intact. The Treasurer, finding it was useless to further conceal the true state of his administration of the finances of the village, «conceded that the exteot of the defalcation was $112,398.92.7 Says Mr. Bennett: It may be much more; for there was absolutely no check Gpon him. At the same tine that he conceded the balance due the village above stated, the books in the Comptroller’s office, which when properly kept should be a complete check upon the Treasurer’s accounts, showed a bala nee in his favor of $100,000 or more.” Mr. Bennett traces B THE DEFALOATION, oritslong continuance, to a ‘non-compliance with the faws of the State and the ordinances of thevillage, and a failure of former Boards to enforce them. Sec. Sof Art. 7 of the Villaze Yucorooration act, which was adopted by Hyde Park in 1872. provided that the Treasurer shall at the end of each and every month aud often- er, if required, render accounts under oath to The Board of Trustees, showing the state of the Trensuty, and a detailed statement of all re- ceipts nnd disbursements, iud on what account. "The villaze enacted an _ordinance to the same effect in August, 1576, aud yeu neither the ordi- mance por the statute was éver complied with, Jjor Waldron's reports were certified, not sworn, tor "Yor five years he carried this on, aud_there is nothing to show that he ever 100K an oath of oftice. Mr, Beunett then rehearses the financial transactions between Mr. Waldroo and Chaun- cey Bowen, Wllcre:{ the latter person had the Sekotiation of $20,000 secured upon village bonas, nud which was withheld aud not paid over. ‘This was not reported to the Board. ANOTHER PECULLARITY of Waldron’s financial operations wus' the fact That he kept a bank-account as Treasurer until the years 1577 and *78. Prior to that time his Secount whereln the village monevs were de- posited was kept in the name “ A, D. Waldron,” and checked out snd used larzely for his own brivate purpose. When bis official account was opeued in 1878, he made . 'personal loan of his bank of $53,247.52, aud-placed as collateral $199,000 of villawe bonds issued 10 1875, the authority to {ssue which had been revoked by The villate, and a portion of which bouds were certified to by him as recistered, while they hever were registered; and he made that certifl- cate under a_date subsequent to the re- peal of whe ordinanze which authorized their jssmance. ‘The coupoms had mot been cut off for several FeArs, a fact known to the officers of the bank, snd it is manifest that they had opportunities to kuoow that the placing of thcm%;v Mr. Waldron, as 'collateral to bis per- sonal loan, was not in good iaith. When the Pillage Accountant, Mr. Chace, bad been mis- led by the certificate of the bank to believe that the mioney shown by the certificate “was to the tredit of the village, Mr. Waldron's personal Toun was paid, without authority, from the village funds, so placed to its credir in bis ofi- cial account.’ i "The villame has instituted a suit azninst the bank to recover the amount of these village funds, so pald to the bankwith their knowledge, and witbout authority from the viliaze, amount~ ing to from $33,000 to $30,000, as is claimed. e Bonnett recites the fact of sevcral other suits having been instituled and certain sums recovered,—$5,00) in_money, and twelve coal cars, in the case of Keepe vs. Waldron; real estate valued at $30,000, less taxes or other Jiens from his trustees; aud also the bringing of suit azainst Waldron’s official bonds. "+ The prosecution of Mr. Waldron criminully,” says {ir Bennett’s report, * was a_duty devolving upon the State’s-Attoroey and the people of Cool Coanty, and was 00 part of the duty of the Village Trustees.” WIHEN THE PRESENT BOARD CAME INTO OFFICE it, was not only deprived of the $112,303.92 which stould have been in the Treasury, but \¥us without any funds to administer thé Vil- laze Government, and was pressed for pavment of $5,699.12 of warrants issued by their prede- cessors in_excess of funds and immediately puyable. All demands were met, and the July interest paid without borrowing a dollar. “The floating indebtedness ot the village when the present Isoard went inoto office—including 10,000 of one-year certificates negotiated iu New York, and other liabilities growing out of village afairs prior to the carrent year, and not incluatug esrtificates drawn on soecial funds— was $7, 0.

On the subject of the EXPENDITURES FOR WATER-WORKS, Mr. Beonett says: * The moneys raisea for the Sinking Fund in the years prior to 1877 having. been divertedjand used for the purpose of buying e tevial and ' paying for labor 1o the estabiis] ment of Waler-WOrss and laying water-pipe, i+ 18 safe to treat the catife amonat of indebtedness | Sor water-pipe, or-at_lcast $150,000 of it. as an investment of the moness beloogiug to the Sinking Fund, and, in making appropriations, treat so_much of the. debt as retired, and Jevy for the Sinking Fund upon the basia of the pro rata which the remaining bonds would bear to the whole debt. - *“This would pe a great relicf to the people, atleast for the succeeding two years in which they are paying off the remaining park assess- meuts.” The Board has mausged its affairs economic- ally, according to the figures of the report. The appropriation_for the current year was $145,- 576,32. This has been Kept jnside of, and on the 18th of April there will .be an unexpended balance of §10,000. u Mr. Bennett devotes considerable space tos review of what has been done 1n * THE MATTER OF IMPROVING, the Board being badly hampered 1n this direc- tion at the outset by there not being a cent in the Treasury to the crediv of the fund. R Notwithstanding this, streets have been Daved, :rosdways improved, and ~thor- oughfares; geaerally made passable. “Ninety .per cent of the moneys which bave been exvended upon these roads has gone to the pockets of the laborers of the village. The margins to contractors have been kept to the lowest point; laborers have been protected in their pay for labor. For every dollar expended the village has a full eumvalent‘ and the labor- ing classes have had that timely employment which has enabled them to mcet the require- ments of a severe winter, and, 8s a rule, they g_el‘ thas they have been treated honestly and irly. The President enumerates other acts of the Board daring its official term as follows: It has fundea the debt contracted in the abortive at- tempt to coostruct pumping-works at South Chicago; urged the construction of a ditch slong Stony Tsland avenue to Caiumet Lake, from Eigbty-seventh street south; pussed an ordinance providing that no improvement, where the costs are derived from speclal asscssments, shall be contracted or made until 75 per cent of the assessmert shall be first paid into the Treasury of the villaze; the management of special assessments has been such 25 not to entail any general liability upon the villaga for faiiure to collect; the Beat- ty contract for the construction of the Forty- first-strect sewer has beenuntaneled; numerons sewers have been constructed; the water-re- ceipts have more than paid expensesof the works by $4,000; and Mr. Beunett is _certain that_the water-rents in ten years * will reach 245,000 to $30,000. Should this prove to be the case, the receipts from the water-rents—after paviucnt of the village debt—shoutd pay atleast half the current expenses of the village.” ‘The Board has caused more strect-lamps o be burned tban formerly, and bas doue it for $1,371.93 less than the cost of the preceding year. ‘The report says: * You have in your Treusury oow in money, not including special funds, §12,585.40. These amounts aggrecate §139,- $25.23, and_will at the end of the year amount to $146,025.53; and this sum showa the real amount which you have and will have saved to the villaze sbove current expenses. In all the improvements your business has been managed with all the care und sttention which any pri- vate individual would exercise fn his own busi- ness. Every dollar expeuded bas received a dollar’s return. You were elected by the peo- ple Dot at your own instance, and have sorved them conscientiously, without having drawn a dollar from the treasury for your services and expenses.” THE VOICE OF THE: PEOPLE.

The coming coutest for the Speakership excites s degree of interest that subjects every one supposed to have sny influence to the most rigid scratiny. To be scen in company with 8 Democratic Representa- tive is enough to draw the gaze of thosc inter- ested in the coming contest to a dexree toexcite queer apprehensions, fearing lest you may be the vietim of some conspiracy. However, the thing is not as bad as that. We are inclined to tiink these fcllows a_ barmless set, but that they reallv don’t iutend (as their appearance would indicate) to_devour one. They are hun- 25, to be sure, and their scent is sharp and ap- petite keen—for influence. That is what they are looking after with sucn eagerness.

To the Editor of The Tribune. Cnicaco, March 15.—1n the selection of Car- ter H. Harrison as their nominee for Mayor, the pemocracy of Chicago have made the Mavoralty election in this city a question of national im- portance, for by conferring the dubious honor upon him of being their leader in the impend- ing strugele; they have placed themselves on record as indorsing the revolutionary pro- gramme of the Democratic Congress. Deoy it ho will, the fact still remains that should Mr. Harrison be elected it will be herulded forth all over the country as an indorsement of the men Wiio eulozized Jeff Davis in the Senate, and ho to-day ure plotting for the destruction of civil liberty. Mr. Harrison was ene of the most consolenous of the Democratic members of the forty-fifzh Conzress, and on every oceasionstood shoulder to shoulder with the men who wore the gray. It the first session of that Congress Le cowardly betrayed the trust that his constit- nents had confded to him by casting his vote for the Rebel Field for Doorkeeper, in op- position_to _ that _ patriotic Union veteran, Geo. Shieids. This act of Ar. Hare rison’s canmot be excused _or condosed. He had his choice: the Tnion Demo- crat whose body, covered with scars received in bis country’s defense, appcaled to and should bave received his beartfelt recognition, but in- stead be Dowed his back to _the ex-Rebels and slaye-drivers’ party-lash and cast his vote for the man Field, who was a perjurer, having for- sworn himself when he deserted his flag” and turned nis educated sword against the country that had made bim what he was, and whose Bands had just beea whitened from Uion wore, “baving had his political disabilities removed just three months previous to his receiving, with Mr. Harrlson’s cordial assistance, the honor of being Doorkeeper of the House. We are living io a fast-aze, but it is impossi- ble to believe that the American people are pre- pared to place Jefl Davis among the lists of those who gild the pazes of the history of our countrv, and yet such is the purpose of the Democratie majority in Congress. ’gnom of us who shared the dangers of the battlefield, or who gave our sous as o sacrifice on the altar of Liberty,will be slow to pelieve that Chicago will be the first to indorse the action of Mr. Harrl- son and his party in carrying out their oft-ex- pressed motto, *Confederates to the front; Unionists to the rear.” The Democracy having made by their choice f Mr. Harrison as their nominee this canvass bne of national iaterest, their opponents accept the issue laid before them; and we, who did our parc in the hour of the nation’s sorest distress, coufidently appeal to the patriotism of the mass- e3 to stand by us in the struggle which can only end in buryinx Mr. Harrison and his party un- der an avalanche of votes. OLD SOLDILER. Ald for the Douglns Baptist University. To the Editor of The Tribune. CmoAGo, March 15.—This city is knowa throughout the entire world for jts being, ina superlative degrez, the most enterprising and agaressive community on earth. Whatever is attempted in a commercial way must be of such character as to make its parallel fmpossible. « How much is he worth?” is ths question that a stranger’s name is most likely to be first con- pled with. s this wholly creditable? Chicago and the West heve yearly contributed many thousands of dollars to Eastern educa- tional institutions, which by right shonld re- main here; and if 2 few of our great dry-goods Imerchants, mavafacturers, bankers, packers, and railway operators would call a halc upon themselves long enough to enable them to see what their city is losing by their almost crimi- nal neslizence in this respect, the West would soon be uble to offer the very highest and best educatfonal facilitics to her own people, and to those of the Esst and South as well. Chicogo contaivs many millionaires. Some, indeed, nearly all of_them, owe thelr.great Wealth' to. Chicago. Yet, with one or two ex- ceptions,—like Taylor and Newberry,—what has any one of them done for Chicago in returni Is it nmot n shame, and should it not cause these millionaires positive mortifieation, to learn that & worthy Chicazo institution of lesrning is at this moment in o most embarrassing_ financial strait, and is appealing to New York and Boston for heip? “This same Jostitution was founded by one of the most_distinguisbed men of the age, who pave back to tue State a higher honor than it co ferred upon him,—a man whom many of these millionaires were woat to bow dowa hefore and almost worship. Could Douglas speak to them now, what would his words be? ‘What wounld the * Little Giant "' say were he to know that the present distinzuished President bad gzone from one to snother of these millionairesund men of acknowledged, wealth, socliciting {rom their entire number a paliry $200,000,—paltry when the scores of millions represented by Chi- ¢ago’s men of Wealth are_considered,—yct thus far with discouraging success. Surely, Chicago, Douglas' memory, the institation itself, and last, thouzh by no means least, Dr. Anderson himself, deserve greater consideration. That preat University should be rescued, ad- Gitionat buildings [should be _erected, chairs liberally _endowed, and the un- Selfish labor of Dr. Anderson be promptly and fully recognized by enabling him to derote hia time and_great talents to his legitimate du- ties as President of the University. He left the pastorate of one of the larzest evangelical churches in America, where he held the undi- vided love of his congreeation; abandoned a position of ease compared with his present posi- tion, and a certainty of ample salary for a chance of the meanest living, whicn chance he is, by those_scquainted with the facts in the case, declared to have fally attained. Let the community be fally impressed with this state of affairs; let it know that the Uni- versity of Chicago welcomes Jew and Gentile, Cathotic and Protestant (it has all named upon its Board of Trustees), and then if the men of wealth will Dot come-to the- rescue let them be put to sbame by the middle and poorer classes Loming up with dollar subscriptions, if need be, to save this magnificent institution from utter destruction. R.J. P Decorative Design. To the Editor of The Tridune. Cmicaco, March 15.—May I be permitted, as a member of the School Committee of the Academy of Design, to call attention through your columps to the importance of arecent ex- tension of the educationsl privilezes of the Academy? Irefer to the formation of classcs in decorative design under the direction of Mr. Pierce. Although the Secretary has made every effort to apprise the public, through circulars, notices, and lectures, of the objects and character of this instruction, it appears not yet to be faily understood. Tt is, in fact, the beginning of a department of art education of equal, and perhaps in some ways superior, imiportance to the branoches of academic instruction heretofore exclusively taugbt at the Academy. By decorative design is jmeant the inventing, drawing,,und coloring of ornamental patterns for a wide variety of gm'pues. 1t is pecessary, “before porcelsin can be painted, before ‘wood or stone work can be carved, before rooms can be decorated, embmid::{ worked, wall-papers printed, or ornamental advertisements struck off, that desigos should be prepared, tastefal in form and coler, uppropriate to their use, and easy to apply to the material for which they are intended. ‘The skill required to execute the de- sign is often small compared with that involved in its iovention, and it must bea humble work- man, whether an amateur porcelain painter or a Professional hiouse decorator, who is content al- ways to use borrowed patterns. "Fhe classes at the Academy are intended, as fhe announcement expresses it, to qualify stu- dents to produce good design for eny of these various uses, <o that they may know Wwhere to look for the material of ornamentation, and how 2o adapt and apply it for any particular purpose. The course thereiore will embrace an introduc- tion to the geometrical arranzement of elements of desiern, the conventionalization of flowers and other natural objects, the use of water-colors for the representation of flat or relieved orna- ment, the sources of ornamental material o the decoration of historical and national schools,” etc. : "The former clase, meeting Thursdsys and Sat- urdays (which will naturally be made up largely, thongh it is hoped not exciusively, of lady ama- teurs), has made a beginning auring the last yweek, though 1t canghardly be cousidered fully established; while the evening class (Monday and Wednesday), for studeots\ of architecture, engraving, decoration, etc.y will meet for the first time to-morrow eveping (March 17). Jir. 0. J. Pierce, the teacher, is 2 disciole “of the South Kensingson methods as taugnt in the Normal Art School in Massachusetts; and be is supported by the counsel and tue use of the material of a considerable circle of architects and_desigoers who are interested fn the move- ment. A valuable privileze of the day-students is the use of the antique studies of the "Acade- my through the afternoon. While there is no inclination in any quarter to interrunt the present satisfactory progress of the schools of drawing and painting, it is the view of the School Committee that the Academy of Design should cover both the fields which Seem to be inciuded under its nawe, Academic Att and Study of Design. The relation of a class intended to introduce studeots to tne Knowledee necessary for prodncing tasteful and excellent desicn to the commercial aud mana- facturing industries of a great ¢ty is obyious. Good ornament and geieral comeliness is re- quired in all kinds of wares put upon the mar- ket. Such instruction commeuds the ‘Acagewy more than heretofore to the favor of our com- mercial classes.

The Day to Be Duly Honored in Chicago. f ol the arrangements made in Chicago for, the honoring of St. Patrick’s mernory on the oceasion of the recorrence of his presumable patal-day anniversary are carried out the BHiver- nian portion of the population of the city will bave their hands full. They are going into the celebration business on the broad-gauge plan, and propose to squeeze as much enjoyment as possible into the day and nizht of the 17th of March. 1t will, 03 usual, bo & day of variety, whefein the admirers of the **Patron Saiot? may iodulge in everything from mass in the morning to music at midaizht: from a weary tramp ° through row and disagreeable alf, perhaps, to the exhilarating and intoxi- cating mazes of the dapce in a dust— clonded ball-room, and from praving, alms-ziving, and otuer Christian acts, to the in- dulgivg in a few sly nips and the ostentatious display of the shamrock and the casual invita- tion to a settlement ot differing opinioes relat- ing to the * onld sod ”’ through the arditration of muscle. St. Patrick’s being a day of jollifi- cation as well as of religious mortitication of the | spirit, why should not those who participate therein be ziven as fall scope for manifestation of their race characteristics as is accorded the Yaokee when he blazes forth in the fire of pa- triotism and other national pecaliaritics on ths * Glorious Fourth " . 1o Chicago the Irish people have arranged for a variety ol entertainment, public and private, and including processions. ‘balls, banquets, und other social ga*herings of minor importance, which will, judging "from the number _an- nounced, afford au ooportunity for every Hiber- nian—man, woman, child, and babe—to partici- pate, and then leave a few parties over with nobody to attend. A peculiar feature of the day—and certafnly & novelty—will be a scheme that has been set on foot for the sccuring of funds to ald in the completion of a charitable institation,— A CATHOLIC ORPIAN ASTLUM, on Lake avenue and Thirty-fifth street. This building, which some years szo was ovcupied as a Soldiers’ Home, now belonzsto the Cath- olic Diacese of Chicago, and affords refuze for over 200 little orphans, who are cared for by the Sisters of St. Jnseph, Mother Mary Joseph be- Tng the Superior. _Applications for the admis- sion of orphans have of late been S0 numerous that, owing to thelack of room for their accom~ modation, the Sisters have felt obliged to refuse taking, within the vear, fally 100. " In fact, the building is too small for those now maintained. there, and, as a result, the youngsters have been oblized to sleep. three in a,bed. 'The lats Bishop Foley fcit a great interest in this fnsti~ tution of charity, and he encourazed Mother Joseph to take steps that would lead to the se- curing of aid for_the enlarzement of the edi- fice. ~ Before he died an addition to the building had been erected, but the fands for paying for it and furnishing the same were mot secured. Had the Bistoplived he would haye inauzurat- ed a plan that would have rendercd unnecessary any public appeal for the accomplishment of that end, but his death left Mother Joseph with- ont the suppors she had depended upon. What is now wanoted is funds to furnish the bunilding, so that the - waifs which arc ek to the instituuon from :time to time may be properly cared for. The plan now decided upon is this: On_Monday & carriage containing Mother Joseph and several orphans will be stationed before St. Patrick’s Church, and, as the processiot of charitable and religious societies approaches .that ‘point, it will separate, one linc pessing on cither side of the vehicle, and at the same time the members of the societies presenting to the Mother Superior such offerings as they can individually afford. It is expected that enough money can be raised in this manner to pay off the fncumbrance on the building and fornish its interfor. ~ Further- more, a tablet i3 to be placed above the main entrance to the Asylum bearing the inseription: +The Bishop Foley Memorial; Dedicated to His Memory by the Irish Catholic Societies of Chi- cago.” In all probability there is ot a Catholie in Chicago who will not feel :t an honor to con- tribate to this very worthy object. . THE PROCESSION on 8t, Patrick’s Day will be noteworthy in many respects. It will be participated in by all the Catholic socleties in the city, civic and military, and, as has been the case in the past, will un- doubtedly present a very attractive appearauce, with a multitnde of forzeous banoers and o great variety of regalia and uniforms. The rendezvous, the socleties participating, and the line of march are set down as follows: The societies will rendezvous on 3onros and Desplaines streetsat 11 2. m. sharp.
