FASHIONS ~ EARLY OPENINGS—THE GAY WORLD UNDER ITS SACKCLOTH—A CAT CONGRESS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. 7 New York, March 18.—The gay world is just at present fixing and fluttering neryous- ly though quietly under its Lenten sack- cloth, somewhat after the manner of a cava- lier in gloomy domino at a bal masque.—or a Faust preparatory to dropping his student’s garb and shining forth rejuvenated. Only about two weeks till Easter! Already Easter cards and other favors illumine the prosy windows .of stationers,—L mean prosy in com parison to some other show-windows, of which more presently. Itis wonderful to what perfection these dainty souvenirs are now gotten up. You’ ean purchase the most delightfully truthful semblance .of roses, violets, “pansies, ge- raniums, innocent marguerites, and saintly lilies at all\the way from 10 cents to $10: and these, too, having each a beautiful sentiment or an exquisit poem attached. Besides floral destens, there are faces of cherubs, and clinging aureoles, and poetic fancies of the other world. 2 Art! How everything improves and ad- vances nowadays, even to the veriest adver- tising chromo! Speaking of art and pictures reminds me of the crayon portrait—mostly ideal, Isuppose— of Carlyle, by Lucille Clinton, which ison ex- hibition in a publishing-house window near Astor place. It looks grumpy enough, all but the nose, which seems entirely too straight aud idealistic, In the other window is a portrait (also crayon) of Dr. Collyer, by De Venino, which is a fine likeness indeed. - But these are not the windows at which an ever-shifting crowd is througing ali day Jong, while the warm sun complacently. Deanis upon the scene, The warm sun, aye! For spring has come, the streets are raphy drying, a pure, fresh, inspiriting breeze her- alds the days that are at hand, and sets the pulse beating more eagerly, more ambi- ously. Then ho for the spring openings! Fair runners in the race of dress-perfection dis- card sealskins and fur-lined wraps and sally forth to the fray. Unless thoroughly expe- rienced, one is apt to feel a sense of com- plete bewildennent while doing the different stores, which is followed by the nameless fascination of the outspread fancies of fer' Parisian imagination; from this fascination it is impossible to break until sheer physical exhaustion com- pels you to return home, which Seems grown a very dingy Place of asudden incontrast to the sunlight and guittering glory of the outer world. And fora while you don’t feel like anything at all. Oh, the wicked-hearted dry-goods dealers! Oh, the spiders that load their parlor windows with rich silks, and satins, and brocades, and festoon with a drapery of sash- ribbons and glorious laces, all to allure both young and old, rich and poor, glad and those whose first grief has somewhat abated, and demure, fine-striped silks for youthful mourners, as also lawn with black figures, and fancy handkerchief with ebon borders. Nota color is worn by any one of the many clerks employed, and {hey are instructed to preserve asad yet resigned countenance at all times, unless perhaps when selling jet ornaments,—a very slight, subdued smile may then be bermiltted; as a ray of hope beaming through the darkness. But let us pass on to a window festooned with valuable laces; flowers of Valenciennes, searfs of .Duchesse, and the newer but less expensive “Point de Nemours” and ** Mire- court”? are to be seen. The Mirecourt is lovely forfichus and as an edging to the broad sailor collars of bright colored plush which are worn with dark dresses nowadays, and which brighten a costume wonderfully. ‘This isa marvelous window; let us stand for a whileand “take it in” most thoroughly. There are gorgeous brocaded silks’ for evening wear in the background. Oneis an ashes-of-roses with two-inch wide Jace (apparently Duchesse) for stripes, and sprays of cream roses thrown gracefully across the stripes at intervals. This is $12 per yard. [t is a wonderful pattern, and itis hard to be- lieve at a little distance that the lace is a part of the goods, and not laid or fastened upon it. To the Jeft I see a brocade, the ground being gold threads and the raised work navy- blue velvet. ‘This Is very rich, ‘To the right isa novelty of satin dle Lyon, consisting of plain inch plaids of three colors, orange and @reen alternating, the way of the gogds anil cardinal red crossing the other two, Each stripe is an inch wide and a pure, solid color. ‘Then the sashes for evening wear. These are nearly a foot wide; one, of green, shades from’ alinost grass color to olive, from one edge of the ribbon to the other, and has large, brocaded flowers of cardinal. Another, of shaded red, has the same flowers. ee All dark suit goods come with a trimming stripe woven along the edge, as calicoes and Tawns used to be. This stripe is either a bright plaid or a mixture of gold threads. Charming materials like these can be bought ata very low figure, and ladies who make their own dresses have considerable advantage over others. ‘Trne, you can buy ready-made suits for 310 up to 325 and get nice material; but who wants baggy sleeves and an ill-fitting waist in these days when your dress ought to seemas if it had grown on you ? But dressmakers here are, as a rule, an exorbitant, grasping, supercilious set, and richly deserve to be put ‘down by the ca- operative dressmaking associations. Women shouldn’t give all their thoughts to dress, says somebody. Indeed, they wouldn’t, if they were not forced to by the men. The days are gone forever When a man used not ta know what a lady wore save that it was pretty and becoming, and that her cheeks were peachy and her eyes like stars. A man won't be seen ina lady’s company unless she wears such and such things, and is just so stylish. He knows ail about poke-bonnets and Bernhardt gloves, alas!’ Why every time Igo out witha gen- tleman, the preparation almost makes me “pive up the ghost,’—whether it be to church, concert, theatre, or opera. While he waits in the parlor 1 fuss and fume over my crimps, trembling nervously all the time, because lL know w a critical survey he willtake—what a searching scrutiny I must undergo—when at last I descend, afraid to keep him fonger waiting, and feebly an- nounce “ Tam ready.” Butto continue. Outer garments not be- ing as lavishly displayed as other things, we have to go inside and look at”? some dol- mans and ulsters, I consider this proceed- ing just as much a nuisance to the “ looker” as to the clerk who shows the goods. Of course it does not do to let on to the latter that your purse is not full and ready to open. who said to the pieman, “Show me of your ware!?? The pieman said: “Show me first your penny.” and S. S. responded that he “hadn't any,” ete., ete. Well these outer garments, or wraps, are of light drab dolman_ material, and must be made with either a shoulder cape ora hood, lined with: bright colored plush or satin meryeillie the hood is generally pre- ferred. A very nobby garment may be bought under” $20. In dolians as in dresses, shirring is seen toa great extent; around the neck and at the back of the waist, it gives a very pretty effect. Ulsters will still hald favor, but they are more graceful of design than those of last year. Speaking of shirring, Isaw an exquisit dress yester- day which had just been placed in the win- dow of an uptown store. It was a. glowing shaded suit of satin de Lyon. ‘Lhe color o! the main part—that is, of the lower skirt, the body, and the back draping—was a dark red, almost a brown; the other parts, such as the little vest, the sleeves, the trimming about the bottom of the skirt, were of shaded red,— shading froma bright Cardinal to the dark, almost brown. ‘All these parts were shirred, ‘The sleeves were shirred from the shoulder to within three inches from the cuffs, and there allowed to form a graceful putt. The tiny vest was shirred crossways from neck to where it ended over another shirring that ran diagonally in both directions from the frout around under the looping of plain dark goods wt the back. The price of the plain goods is per yard, that of the shaded $4. /And this shading of silk or satin goods and ribbons is destined to be “the”? Tage of the season. Sideby side with this lovely suit stood a white satin, hand-painted, with moss-roses and forget-me-nots. The skirt is rather sim- ple,—cut court-train, and has scarf-loopings; the basque is plain, with a high Marie Stuart collar, ‘I'he flowers are painted in delicate little sprays running up each sleeve from cuff toshoulder, and In short stems on the bottom of the basque. A heavy mass of blossoms and foliage extends from the bot- tom of the train upward almost to the waist. The brown-green leaves as natural as ever Were seen, and the sweet forget-me-nots smile shyly in the shadow of the delicious pink roses. _Lsaw another painted dress, a little while since, which had been done merely as a work of art bya lady artist, Mrs. Leonard. This was a sea-form Greet of promenade length, Over. a knife-plaiting at the ‘bottom falls a flounce of rich Spanish lace. Above this is draped a round, full skirt of satin. which is finished at the bottom with saucer-sized scol- Jops, formed of smaller ones, embroidered in eardinal silk. In_ each scollop is a scarlet poppy with a gold centre, surrounded by its natural foliage, among the leaves of which is vceasionally caught the gleam of a golden blade. Above this is a bed of foliage, buds, and blossoms, interspersed with drooping heads of wheat. With this is worn a green silk Jersey, which has a scarf of knotted Spanish | draped about the hips, knotted at the id fastened with a bouquet of poppies and wheat,—the same floral zarniture eing worn at the throat. The elbow-sleeves are of Spanish lace. Even having gone this far, I have not men- tioned the new colors, which are Quaker gray, snuff-brown, rose-cherry, and shrimp- pink. The two former are seen -in dress- goods; the latter in ribbons, flowers, ete. Shrimp-pink is a pale pink, with just a hint of salmon therein. There will “be a great deal of brightness seen this spring and sum- mer, ., What do you think? Even the undertaker ata funeral yesterday (a child’s funeral, to be sure), pulled on his bright tan-colored gloves with considerable aplomb, and said, with a wise air, that ‘it was allin the heart, anyhow’; and he didn’t believe in these out- ward displays. N. B.—I think he was new in the business. But, ali me! one hardly knows when to stop when started on these matters of dress, and.to.wind up, I must digress and mention Aauict amusement suitable to the season. This is the cat congressat Bunnell’s Museum. Here are all sorts of ‘Tabs and Toms; big, little, handsome, ugly, suarly, good-natured, yowling, and lovable. Some perform curious tricks, and some doze away the hours. Some are enormous in size and weight. Many eyes gaze upon them with fond recollections of Pussy at home, ora pet that isdead and gone, And the orchestra strikes up, ‘‘Dum-dum, doodle-dum,” from Billee Taylor. L. M.C. LATEST MODES.

Garfield No Longer the marih h, En- thuslastic Man, but Standing Aloof in the Cold Supremacy of Power— About Some of the New Cabinet. WASHINGTON, March 17.—Gartieid’s character has picked up in public curiosity considera- bly since he became President. The severe du- ties and responsibilities imposed upon him, to- gether with the criticisms upon bis mild nature during the campaign, bave apparently brought him into the Presidency with tho loss of most of his boyish manners. He no longer slaps people on the-back, or puts hig arms around them and pulls them toward him; and such fs human nat- ure that they regard bim as a greater man in consequence. Thackeray describes ‘Old Col. Newcome,” after ins son grew up, bearing loud laughter in his son’s room, and going up to bave some of it; but as soon ns he enters the boys all shut up and look grave. Thatis the enaity of being President. The smile of verdant years has passed from the Magistrate, and he is alone in cold supremacy of power. , An old newspaper writer, celebrated for bis crabbed and rather intolerant views of public men, said to me yesterday: “This fellow Gar- Held isa mighty cunning chap. He has bad this Presidency on bis mind for ten or fifteen years past. Thut accounts for his opparent want of pluck now and then. He was just following sec- ond after the big leaders, and avviding the an- tagonisms that Blaine, and Conkling, and Mor- ton were getting into, [ now remember,” con- tinued this xentleman, “how Gartteld behaved when Blaine made his big speech on Anderson- yille in reply to Ben Hill. It was a speech that ps brought Biaine out for the Presidency. Not long before that Blaine had been the leader on the floor of Congress, and had: objected to the Force bill, which the carpet-baggers all wanted passed, He lost caste by fighting that bill with Radicals: and in the Andersouviliespeech, after he got to the Senate, he completely recovered that Radical caste. Of course Blaine was very much hated for it from the Southern and Dem- ocratic sides. Now, what did Gartield do? They toll me that the whole of that night that cunning rascal sat up. studied out the tacts tocome in second to Blaine on the same side, and when he mude his speecn it was altogether @ more accomplished and perfect effort: than Blaine's.

Hight be- hind him was Garfield, the next exponent of Congressional ability.” “Well,” said I to this person, “do you not regard Garfleldas haying worked hard for his promotion?” * “Qh, yes,” said my crusty friend; and-to be honest about it, he is about one of the finest ex- emplifications of hard work and cultivation in ‘our publiclife. He has been a close student in finance, commerce, and the institutions of tho- country, and has had 2 large power in making the laws for the last fifteen years; and then he has done what nobody else has been abie to do well in Congress—go outside and address the colleges and learned socicties. That is one rea- son why the country, in its younger and mo! re critical relation, bas accepted his Cabinet with such unaniminity.” Talking to a United States Senator ast night, he gave me two or three personal pointe. Of Kirkwood he said: “He isa very cunning fel- Jow.

ATH. THE AFRICAN BOERS. Thelr Modo of Life —Slaveholders — Wighters—Laziness. To the Editor of The Chicago Trivune. is a question that has been asked continually speaking, accurately answered by the public cled over the country, let me answer the question, An stating facts of history, however, which are correct, the press has generally left out makes the manor nation. Ithas been left tobe generally understood that Doers—de- scendants of those gallant and noble-minded Dutch and Freneh refugees—have followed the footsteps of their forefathers even as the American of to-day has advanced from the enlightenment of the voyagers in the May- flower. But this tmplication is wrong ievery way. Two ceuturies have rolled past, and we find the scions of those Jiberal-minded men still warring against self-constituted author- ities, but in this respect only like their pro- genitors. They have continued to retire from the governance of England, battling fiercely with opposing negro nborigines the while, ull they crossed the broad Orange and estab- lished themselves at last on the bare-looking but fertile plains beyond that and the Vaal River, like the nomadsof Scripture history, rich in Hocks and herds. Even here their quarrelsome natures be- came apparent, for, instead of forming as one State under one ruler, they set up two baby republics; those «dwelling between the Orange and the Vaal are now known as_ tne people of the Orange Free State, whilst their more turbulent neighbors across the Vanlstyled their country the Trans-Vaal Repyblic. If such action alone were not sufficient to convince their well-wishers of the thorn-in- the-flesh kind of neighbors they would be likely to be to bordering alien races and tribes, a progress throurzh Jand would quickly ettace any sentiment; leas concerning theiz ancestry and reveal Nhe naked fact of their degeneracy. ; It is not difficult to give credence to the Darwinian theory of physical advancement by culture and selection when one sees such an inversement: of the theory in these Boers. Springing from men and women preéminent ‘in their — time -for thought and advanced ideas, they have become generator after generation less and less cultured, till they lave arrived at their present Jevel of ignoyance and brutality. A veritable bocr, f. ¢., farmer, ordweller in the country, is the most animal of white-skinned humanity. ‘The low, ignorant, degraded cotirrs of the West of Ireland have the very sullicient excuse of terrible poverty for thei: condition. But these Boers are lords of far- stretching acres, uf herds of cattle or sheep, and of unwilling slaves; they have ample time and opportunity for study and improve- ment; but their ambition, if they have any, is not in that direction. A Boer fs human, and that is the best, or worst, that can be said of him, He exists to cheat and lie whenever opportunity offers, in a manner almost inconceivable and with a stolid persistency that would be envied by Arab merchant or Yankee notion-peddler, The average pro-slavery Boer is well to do, but there are no evidences of his prosperity about his dwelling other than stock, He jives ina house truly, but as such a monu- nent of filth, ignorance, and brutishness, It is low-pitched, ill-yentilated, small, and gives one the idea of being the last refuge of a destitute pauper rather than the mansion of an opulent Jandholaer. Asa class, Boers ure devoid of virtue, save that of courage, which they possess in com- mon with all the savage tribes of South aMfriea. They are intensely lazy, and exert themselves only in the pleasures of the chase. As hunters they are experts, and as marks- men, especially in the rare atmosphere of their own elevated plains, they are without equal in the world. The English may boast themselves of their volunteer riflemen, but puta hundred of them on the scrubby plains of the Transvaal against the Boers, and ere night there would notbean Englishman leit, whilst the Boers would probably be unable to count a scratch amongst them. Their accuracy of judging distance seems marvel- ous to any one new to. the country. The constant out-of-dvor life and hunting expeditions have developed a fine physiqne and athletic form,—even among the women this is noticeable,—but the facial expression is dull, stolid, and animal. They have no aspirations after education and culture, and but few houses possess more of a library than the old family Bible, Yet Providence has much to answer for this indolence. “Their lot has been cast in a, fruitful land, where but little labor is re- quired to obtain abundance for home con- sumption. The fertility of the land is re- markable; and there is nothing to prevent the vast interior plateau of South Africa from becoming a great grain-producing re- gion but indolence and drought. ‘The latter, however, could be overcome by industry: in agreat measure, asin the teeming plains of India and China, where as arid-looking Wastes are- made to yield their. two, three, and four crops a year by the paticnt,- untiring, insignificant hand irrigation of the éyot and coolie. What little labor is put into the soil is by the native pseudo-servants, but actual slaves. ‘The Boer will not work, and this sloth sets him yearning after slaves. Inroads are made into the countries of neighboring tribes, where villages are burned, and men, women, and children are carried off into servitade, with all the’ cattle. that can be ound. This hankering after slaves and other folks’ cattle drew on_them the peremptory ernment, which otherwise desired that the entire South African colonies should con- federate and become independent of parental control. The Zulu war, which has cost England so much, was directly due to the turbulence of the Boers, who invaded Zululand, were bill, because 1 have a bond or two myself.’ zo.” What did Senator Kernan sus?” “did not know that it was a Demo- cratic measure, and Senator Kernan-suid to that the Funding bill wasup, and what did I} ornaments worn in eoiffure, a dis | Mrs, ‘Tyler, toilet of white appointment will turn out toward the last tot me Itold bim I thought it wa honest measure, and nobody but a would vote for it; and Kernan looked at me a little queer.” OFFICE-GRABBERS.
