The present mode’ is more exacting in desigus of the material than the form of the ‘garment; and in this there never was a greater departure from former styles than at the present season. Fonlards, organdies, and challis are displayed in the Jarie fioral designs of olden times, so peculiarly ‘adapted “to, the. panier drapery; and these are frequontly arranged aver plain materia! similar in hue to the ground of tie former, although wholb.sults of the flower- ed matefial ure considered more elerant. Wita these charming’ sumumer-toilettes, vis- ions of rarat and seaside pleusures loom ‘up3. and, judging from the expensive preparations for departure, fashionable resorts will be uuu- sually brilliant this year... Many old places are becoming deserted; while others are arising in more ‘ cqayenient: localities, - whose ~ attrac- tions - were. unknown “until railroads pen- etrated Nature’s favorite hauats which were’. - previously — - inaccessible.

" Arsene Houssaye tells us that the Paris- Hans‘live like trees, rooted in the grouod under “tbe same sky and the same sun; while Mot tesquieu justifies this inertness by statin: “Germany is made to, travel fn, England to ‘reflect in, Italy to ~ visit, “and ‘France to live’ in.” As. only . great. sensations can move Parisians, thd importance | of the. Comedie Francaise may be imagined from the fact that the bean-monde of Paris has fol- Jowed it en masse to London. And yet tlie’ ‘spirit of the Maison de Moliere has not departed with the “superb frony”? of Mounet-Suily, the brilliant tslents of Coguetin,. the irresistible charms of Sarab Bernhardt’s acting, and ali the “present inheritance of traditional perfection re- quired from all the company of this classic the-. atre...

This was the signal for the Catholics to commence thé massa- cre af St. Bartholemew.- When the Revolution burst forth, and the churches were closed, this ‘bell came int> possession of the Theatra Fran- caise, and now rings forth in representations of ‘Marion Delorme,’’ as: it rang three conturies ago on the eve of St. Bartholomew. : “Among, moré. trifling accessories In the Com- edie Francaise iss chessboard of Louis XV.; and a chaise-a-porteurs of the “Precienses Rid- ienles,” fancifully decorated . by Boucher with Cupids and flowers.

Straw-Bai), Forgery, and Perjury the Means to the End, How the Government Was Swindled Out of Some $50,000, Of all the schemes for beating the Govern- ment, the ‘*mateh-bond * game, for the perfect ease with which it is worked, the ridiculously lnsigo{ficant outlay required, and the certainty ot large and. speedy returns, bears the palm. ‘The Government has ‘no eooner had its eyes opened to one of these confidence operations, in which the parties-were fiually held in good Teund- bonds. to await the action of the next Federal Graud Jury and the United States Die- trict Court, than it findsitself taken in to the tune of nearly $24,000 by the same old. game, and, as it would now appear, by sume of .the very parties who remained in ithe backgrouad -in- some of the = pre- Yious operations. ‘The developments ‘in this latest instance of bilsing the Government out of match-stamps through the convenient me- dum of 4 straw bond, however, show: that the Workers of the scheme have not hesitated at defrauding the Government alone, -but that the thought of committing perjury and even forgery aid not even so much as stagger them. ‘The whole matter has been kept very still, and dome of the details are at present withheld from the vews-detectives, bit’ cough bas come to light to enable Tax Trigunz to expose the schemo inall its important workings, after which te moral to be drawn will be “plain aa way'to parish church,?? a . In the first place, that the reader may under- stand how easy it is to work sucha scheme, it ls necessary to state that, in accordance with a - provision of the Internal Revenue laws, manu- vfacturers of friction matches are allowed credit for match-stamps.on furnishing: a good and sut- ficient bond to cover the amount. The only ‘conditions are tliat the person withdrawing the stamps shall bea bona-fine manufacturer, and shall render the proper monthly ‘accounts of stamps: reveived, balance on hand, amount pald for, etc., during the period he isengaged in the busineas.. ‘The main eloment,” therefore, in a Job to cheat the Government in this sort of a scheme is a straw bond. Nothing tn the world is 7 || MORE BASILY MANIPULATED than that. -There. are sharks -here and every- where who follow professioual bailine aud the furnisiing ot snide bonds as a busfuess, and vo one Will. dispute the aseertion that they have reduced it to ove of the exact sciences. Having secured enough thorouguly irresponsible peo- ple to gd on. the bond, the next step is to get the instrameut approved by the District Attor- nex. Under ordiuary circumstances this might bea difficult undertaking, Here wt has proved otherwise, thanks to the efforts of an allezod. friund of that official,- whose indorsement of the gang was the flnishmy touch to the busi-* ness... Coming from’, such a. source,—. from: -a. friend. - of - several years? standing and of supposedly unimpeachable’; straightness and moral yeracity,such au indorse- ment was not fora moment to be doubted. If there bad been hesitation before. it disappeared iu view of an indorsement like 1! With: the bond upproyed, the next step is vo forward it to the Commissioner ot loternal Revenue with an apptication for stamps, ‘The latter are acnt ‘on, and, in these snide cases; sold.. While the credit lasts,.the alleged manufacturer continues to draw on the Goverument tor-inore stamps, until, in the-course: of events, the amount he bas drawn approximates the. amount of the boud: ‘Then- he stops. -The ‘credit season is flasily up. ‘Then he “divides” und skips out, aud the Government. has a straw bond on its hands to sbow for it all.” se On the 8d of last’ December, the legal arm of the Goverument ih this city approved the bond of a certain Phineas, Aver.in the sum of $80,000. ‘The sureties whose names decorate the docu- ment were Matilda ‘ Ralph, William J. Ralph, Orrin C. Whitucy, Robert Joues, and Charles H. Perkius. :The iiret. condition of the bond was that Ayer wes to.become a mianutacturer of friction matches, and’ the Commissioner of In- iterpal Reyenue was -to deliver -the stamps to hua, in accordance with “the provislons* of “the Interual-Reveaue law, on a credit uot excecdin; sixty davs. ‘he bond further recited that it Ayer should;"on' or before the 10th of each month; méxe'a statement of his account, show- sing the balunce-of mouey due the Government at the commencement of the month, the amount of stamps recelyed ‘and the amount of money re- mitted by bim “during the month, and the bal- ance due ‘from ‘hint to the Government, at the ‘ close of the previous month, ‘etc, etc., and whould pay to the Treasury of the United States jl tie monocy 60 due the Government forstamps forwarded to him within the time prescribed for peyment, then the instrument should be void and of no effect. The witnesses tothe bond were J. Kirkland, Honry Sioan, and Joba T. Heevan. if * Ou the 18th of June last the’ Iegal arm of the Government in this city FILED A DECLARATION in the Clerk’s office of the United States Cireuit Court, in an action of debt avainst the principal, Ayer, and his several suretles, layiug the debt und the amount of damages at $30,000. ‘The Cecleration, after, setting ‘up the nature of the bond, which was attached thereto. disclosed the farther. information that Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue. Raum, on the 18th of January, 1879, forwerded to Ayer match-stamps to the value of $7,350, and, although more thao sixty days had elapsed at the time of the filing of the declaration since the delivery and forwarding of the stamps, Ayer bad not’ vaid the Government therefor, but bad neglected and refused soto do. On the 29th of January, 1879, the Commissionsr sent along $11,500 worth- of stamps, and again, onthe 1Uth of February, 1879, another batch to the valne of $4,500." More. than sixty days bad elapsed in each instance, and still the stamps were not patd for. In yiow of all this, the United States, through its. legal representative, asked that the bond be de- clared forfeited, und. in view of the nezlect to square up accounts, that the defendants be held liable on the bond. ‘The next thing to do was to serve votice on the defendants. The Marshal's oflice bas been trying todo. this ever since, und without suc- cess until yesterday, when one of the sureties, Ralph, went to the Government Building to get outa Iteense for a saloon or something he is about to start in_the rural-regions, aud, while there, was'served with a2 summons informing him what had ‘taken "place, and. officially favite ing him to show bis haid in court, -personally or by attorney. He told an innocent story to the effect that he ond his wife, Matilda d., bad boen ted into'the thing by one Martin F. Hale, who, with another :persou of the same -name, scems to be the. head and front of. the crowd, and who has appeared in at least one similar case at 2 previous time,—the Hale match-bond case. Ralph insisted that he and bis wife were innocent of any wrongdoing, aud that the others had : i PUT UP A JOB ON HIN. His story was taken with some salt, ‘but the in- formation he gave, used as 2 lever, was ugainst | ‘the others. nee From present developments it appears that the several sureties went ,before Judge - Bangs. last December, the way having previously been paved by certain mysterious persons iu the back-, fround who auswer pretty well to the descrip- | lion of the Hales. It is not an uncommon. thing in taking bonds to- merely -conault with the sureties, and in this case there js noth: ing in the world to show. that Judge Baugs ever saw the man Ayer. Indeed, frown all that at present appears, it would seem that Ayer is a myth, a shadow, a nonentity, bebind whom the owmers skulked. Days of searching. fail to re- veal the fact that he ever made any matches Dereabouts, or anywhere else, and the new Directory fails to give up his name. Mrs. Ralph swore about two weeks ago, in -a certain Jus- tice’s Court in this county, that she wasn’t at present on’ any bond whatever. Sho was about te go on one, at the” time, and the © question “was. asked if she wasn’t on a match bond in the United States Court, and her reply was that she was nut; that he haa been on such a bond, but that the thing had all been paid up and settled, and that Judge Bangs would say so.if anybody asked him about it. Nobody thought. to ask the Judge, however, and so nobody was astounded at the revelation which would have been made. it algo leaks out, now that the matter is being Jeoked into, that at the time Mrs. Ralph went on the match bond there were in the Marshal's office certain executions against ber which had been returned unsatisfied. - One would naturally suppose that about the first place a persen would look, before approving a bund, would be the Marsnal’s office. But evidently this wasn’t done in the present case. If it had been, the explosion would bave come sooner, and the {ndorsement of the District Attorney's «suid in his letter that Aver had drawn out about apparent friend would havo beer knocked higher than Mr, Gilderoy's Kite. «--” =~ Of Ratph himself. not much is known, except - that ho was at one time a State’ street harness-- maker. Latte:ly he appears not to have been doing anything in particular, and it is believed that there isa modicum of truth in his state- ment that he "WAS SEDUCED BY TE GANG into going on the bond“ witbout any very clear idea as to just what he was doing. But he will baye a chance to explain things before long to his heart's content. Of the others, not mach fs known that isto their credit. Perkivs ig‘known asa professional | bailer, but he deserted bis usual haunts and, like the. rest, except. Ralph, cannot be found. He was around three or four weeks: ago, but discovered that the bestthing he could dounder the circumstances was to:@o, and to go at once. It so happened that he offered himself asa bonagman in some case in the United States Court, representing that, 60 far2s bonds were concerned, be was as” free as the wind. Somevody asked him,-rather pointedly, if ho wasn’t on @ match bond, He colored a moment, but, with an assumption of virtué,'thouch he had it not, replied in tle negative. His inter- rogator, vot entirely satistied, went down into the District-Attorney’s office and learncd from @ subordinate there that ule fellow was on this very Ayer.bond. By the.time the peraon had returoed to the court-room, Perkins, who had avented danger afar, was hot to be found. He had taken‘ unto bimself‘wings and flown away, und up to lust night uo maa knew of his where- abouts. 24 a ‘The bond fs beheved to be worth about as + much as a check on a dead Indiau’s prave. When filed with the District-Attorney ft was ac- compauied by schedules purporting to give, un- der oath, the possessions of the several sureties. ‘These schedules ‘were aeat‘on, wita the originat bond, tu the Commissioner at Washington, and, as fur as can be'leurned, no copies were taken, Jadge Bangs has copious notes, which he took at the time, of what they said, ‘but the notes are under lock and key,'s0 fur as the reporters are concerned. The general belief, however, among the reveuue-men is that none of the gang haye anything, and that the Government can count ltself out to the extent of $23,400. This, with the smount of stumps taken out in thik Wheeler case, ruua the Government's Joss up to Something like $50,000, Ayer, as ‘before stated, 3 : 18 BELIBVED TO BE A MYTH, and-to the revenue officers it is as clear as day that the stamps were sold, the money divided among the crowd, inclading the grund sachems, the Hales, tind possibly due of the witnesses to the bond, Sloan, and that.it has been put beyond the reuch of Sawuel’s- servants for all time to come. Why a criminalisuit was not begun against the wnole guog’ is -one of those things which it ig ditteult to‘ubderstand. According to Judge Bangs, it Was because he wasn't aware, ut the time he filed his declaration, that there were any grounds for a criminal proceed- ure. He tacitly admits nuw that be thioks dif- ferently on the subject. It fs 2 fact, which couldu’t be kept hid, tuat the Government of- ficers have been for several daya accumulating proofs against the whole raft of them, and the lirst fralts were apparent last nightin the arrest, of Whituey and Perkins on a warrant issued by Commissioner Hoyne on ‘the complaint of the Special Agent of the Revenue Depariment. The rest are being run down, aud may be jerked up before they Knowit. ‘The story would not:be complete without a more specilic reference to the friend of the Dis-* trict-Attorney whose indorsement was of such weight with that otticlal. ;‘The friend is a lerge, portly, severe-looking, mau, gray as badger, with a capacity for “strong. Junguage and abuse,” and a perpetual font, soto speak, of..“biv, big :D’s.”. His name is Stephen G. Hooker, and: his oceupstion—when not iudorsing bonds—commission business. Moker, like pane halls from Lavon. It was there thatthe ‘ab’ Knew. each otuer, When” Judge Buogs was uppointed District-Attorney, ‘Hooker was here, and their acquaintance was naturally renewed. lu time the Judge got in the habie. of- consulting. with Hooker, who ap- peared to be posted in real-estate matters aud the standing of various: people in bond matters. In one match-bond case, that of Ellivtt and Keep, the Judge’s friend prophesied truly, for in that case the parties proved to be responsi- ble, and the Government lost no moncy. But that was only one case. ° Whether Hooker gave any advice in the Wheeler case or not is not definitely known, although it is generally sup- posed he did,. But in; tne Ayer case he was certainly of ie “GREAT UTILITY TO THE GANG in‘pushing through ‘that bond, and from the gang he received bis reward, as he yesterday admitted to one of ‘Uncle Sam’s © minions, in the ebape “of $40 or $50—delight- ‘fal ‘uncertainty '-as ‘to just’ what was the exact figure—irom the man who is with good reason _belieyed to be the boss of the gang, namely, Hale himsatl. . Of course, ir. Hlvoker claimed that the moaey was paid’ him for examiuing the ‘titles; aud Tre Trisoxe is willing to give nim thebenefit of the explana- tin, as well as the'firther ‘apoloretic svate- ment trom Judge Bapgs thut he (Bange) 1s inclined to’ think that Hooker, as well as bimeell," was,,imposed upon. Tun Temsuxz is willing to put a charitable construction on it,—ag willing as Hooker is himeelt anxious to have his Httle mistake in furthering the approval “of a snide bond looked upon in a generous light. But ‘the District-At- torney bas approved all’‘the match bonds.be is foing to approve tor some time to come, and the next one what does go through—if it is ap- proved during Bangs’ term of oftice—will pro! ably be vouched for by eomething stronger than his friend’s indorsement. : ‘A reporter of ‘Tn -‘Trtpune called on the matchless sureties last evening in the debtor’s department of the County Jail to give them an opportunity of explaining away the charge of conspiracy resting upon them and reliéving theaiselves of any information they & be supposed to be in possession of. ‘ Whitney is a sanctimonious old party, with a flat’ nose and 8 pécaliarly ingenious stock of oaths. He believed thatit was ‘ta thundering d—d shame, sir, to lock ap me, a reputable citi- zen, who bave lived here’ in this city eighteen years, by G—-, sir.” ‘The reporter sympathized with him, after which he madea statement somewhat as follows: “T met this fellow ‘fenus?

C. WALLER ESTATE, i Sale Under Foreclosure. An important sale of real estate, under fore- closure; took place yesterday morning at the LaSalle street entrance to the National Life Building, Only half a dozen persons were pres- ent, however, and there was little or no compe- tition, “In April, 1874, Robert Bill, who bad just completed the Matteson House, corner of Wabash avenue and Jackson street (it having been era:ted on ground omned by M. O. Walker), sold the building to Mr. Walker for -$160,000. Within ashort time thereafter Mr. Walker mortgaged the land and hotel and several other pleces ore Ry to the Connecticat Mutual Life for $190,000." Nineteen days subsequently hedied. ‘The interest (9 per cent per annum) was defaulted from yesr to year, aud May 21, 1879. a decree of foreclosure was entered ia the United States District Court, the debt amount- Master-in-Chancery Bishop ing to $291,771. ‘was the auctioneer. : The first piece offered was the Matteson House. property, which has front of ninety-six fest on Wabesh avenue and 161 feet on Jackson street Mr. Robert Lincoln, representing the in- surance company, bid $150,000.

Mr, Lincoln doubled, and, in a moment, said, “Make it $81,000.” And ar land ad ppnocked down” to him. ‘rhen the north thirty feet were put up, and sold to Mr. Lincoln for $10,000, “Pt The fourth piece was sublot 7 in the subdi- vision of orizingl Lots 1 and 4, Block 5, fraction- al Sec. 15,~No. 165 Michigan avenue; where Otis Field’s stable is located. nt? said Sir, Lincula, “lt give 3b make it $15,000." : nt Bhi -‘This frightened Mr. Walker, and he subsided, and the lot went to the corporation.
