MiLITARY CHANGES.—By direction of the President, the Department of the Platte, dis- continued by General Orders No. 66, War De- Partment, of the ist instant, is re-established brigadier General E. O. C. Ord is transierred from the Departmen California t> co the Depariment of the Platte, and in Gene Orders No. 70, just issued, is directed to proceed to the headquarters, Omaha, with as little delay as practicable. Until another officer shall be assigned to command the Department of Cali- fornia, the immediate command thereof wii! be excrcised by the Division Commander, Major eral Schofield. Paragraph 2, Special Orders 438,50 far as Major Ruggles, assistant ad- jutant general, is concerned, is revoked, and Brigadier General Augur, on assuming ‘com- mand of the Department of Texas, will tem- forarily detail an officer to relieve Major H.C Yood, assistant adjutant general. Paragraph 1, Special Orders No. 4 elating to Major Perry, quartermaster, is revol ALEXIS Comes !—The Grand Duke will prob ably arrive here to-morrow or Wednesday even- ing with his suite and Minister Catacazy, and proceed to the residence fitted up for him on I street. No information has been received by Secretary Fish as to the time he will arrive here; but it is expected that he will leave New York on the morning suceceding his reception there. Minister Catacazy is too much impressed with the responsibili of his charge to risk a railroad journey from New York to this city at night; hence he will leave that city by the morning train in order that the trip may be by daylight. There will be two m: ificent special cars for his use. Upon his arrival here he will be received by Madame Catacazy, and will afterwards be pre- sented to the President, but will receive no callx until his return to this city about January next. ‘The arrangements for bis presentation to the President will be made by Minister Catacazy and Secretary Fish, and the presentation cere- mony will probably take place about noon on the day succeeding his arrival. There will be no formal specch-making and no public display at the presentation, which will take place in the Blue Room at the White Hou.c. The President will be attended by his Cabinet, and the Duke by his suite and Minister Catacazy, who will in- troduce him to the President and Cabinet; then he will be escorted to the Red Room and presented to Mrs. Grant, and, after a short time spent in conversation, — will retire and return to New York the next day. The usual crowd of curious ones will be gath. ered around the White House door to get a glimupce of the much-talked-of Alexis, but none will be admitted to the interior of the building. He speaks English fluently but prefers French, His conversation, however, at the tation will be in the former ge ype It is customary on such occasions for the visitor to receive a call trom the Seeretary of State soon after his arrival In the city and prior to his presentation to the President. In aceordanee with this cu - tom Secretary Fish will call upon him on the evening ot his arrival or before noon the next day. Hayxpsome Dresses.—Our Society furnishes the following description of some dresses re- cently made in New York for the wife of one of the cabinet officers and her sister, for the com- ing season: “ Among the beautiful dresses made in New York this winter, to be sent to Washington, are some of faultless design and execution. The first we shall describe was for Mrs. Creswell, the wite of the Postmaster General. The richest gros grain silk of the palest shade of cafe au lait, and Lyons velvet a shade darker, were the materials ased in its fabrication. The skirt, cut en traia, was trimmed with velvet tabs of an entirely new design. The overskirt, also a new design and drapery, was trimmed with velvet to correspond. Five boufants in the back swelled out under a postillion of velvet. The front of the corsage Was finished with two deep and sharp polnts falling on the apron-fronted tunic. Two waists were sent home with this dress, one cut a la Pompadour, the oth; 's decoliete, so that the iress could be worn either asa dinner and re- The trimmings A sister of Mrs. Cre: MeIntyre, has now in the artist's hai eautiful dresses. The fret is a blue-green silk of the shade called peacock green. The jupon is trimmed with one deep flounce at the bottom, headed with three very narrow rofties. Th rom of the deep flounee, which, by the w ery scant, is cut large scallops, and bound with a ‘heavy cord, which heads a handsome silk fringe. The polonaise, of a new design, is vest fronted, a la Louis X1V., and postillioned in the back. ‘The loopin, different on each side, display in_ the most arti-tic manner kasd agperes fancy and in- nuiiy of the artiste. The second dress is of lue gros grain silk, made with a court train of new design. The trimmings of the front breadths, arranged en tablier with a wide cut- away flounce at the bottom. Two waists also accompany this dress—one cut tres d-collete, the ethene ia Pompous. Both immed withicings to maich the skirt trimmings, and filled in at neck and peeravie fine point lace falling over ithe Ain bi the drei tieest et ea ea now sow ize in the late fight, see This Afternoon’s Dispatches. ALEXIS. New York, Nov. 20.—The reception of Alexis will probably be postponed, as an easterly rain -torm prevails bere this morning, and bids fair to last all day. No official reception was offered Alexis yesterday, that which was given being extended only to the Kussian Adm' the Grand Duke being recognized only as a Lieu tenant. Until he ieaves his vessel there will be no io: malities towards him asa Prince. All the fleet are in the lower bay. New Yorx, Nov. 2.—The steamer Mary Powell, with the reception commities and mem bers of the press, started down the bay this morning to greet Alexis. i Notwithstanding the heavy rain, handredsof ¥ dresed ladies, accompanied the com- , and many hundreds of perons are st ingon the pier in the storm. The commitice bh: decided that there shall be no parade to-day, in consequence of the storm. The recepiion com- mittee will board the Svetland and ask the Grand Duke whether he prefers to proceed at once to Washington or remain bere and have a public reception te-mor.o¥. Broadway is thronged with expectant citizens, the news of the postponement of the procession not having yet been published. mali FROM EUROPE To-pAY. Telegraphed Exclusively to The Evening Star.

New York, Nov. 20.—Wm. M. denies that he is conneeted with the Bowling Green Savings Bank. He admits being president of the Guardian Savings Bauk, but has nothing to ng do with its it. He saysits vice presi- dent hes placed $00,000 worth of real estate at the command of the bank to enable it to meet itsengagewents. H. Smith, vice the Natloval Savings Bank, states Nor. 23 ‘imes ah appointed by Ju Barnard as receiver of the National ‘bovine Bank, who will take possession to-day. It is be- lieved this bank, the Guardian and Bowling Green banks will meet all the claims of their depositors, but it doubtful if either resumes business again. ie Tweed to be Kicked Oat. New York, Nov. 20.—Emanuel B. Hart, the leading Tammany Sachem, says Tweed must resign his membership of the Tammany society and democratic general committee, and if he does not, measures be taken to force himout. Bai irs Sentenced. Cixcrsxati, Nov. 20—Four members of a gang of twenty-five burglars arrested at Spring- tield, Obto, were on Saturday each sentenced to tive years in the penitentiary. The Last of Controller Counolly. New York, Nov. 20.—Richard B. Connolly has resigned the controllership, and the mayor has appointed Andrew H. Green in his place. aoe Small pox is steadily increasing in the tenant houses in New York city, and it is feared that as the season advances its ravages will increase. There was also, a considerable increase in Priladeldhia last week, the deaths aggregating 133, an excess of $2 over the preceeding seven days. In view of the prevalence of this loathsome diserse in various sections of the country, the neecessity of re-vaccination is being seriously corsidered. Professor George B. Wood, in his “practice of medicine,” strongly urges “the propriety of universal re-vaccination, as the means not only of promoting the comfort and Fossibly of saving the life of the individual, but also of preventing the spread of small pox and of ultimately eradicating it.” He even goes so far as to recommend that vaccination should be employed in persons previously affected with small pox, and says though fewer persons are attacked with varioloid after inoculation or natural small pox than after vaccination, yet a greater number perish. The same protection that a second vaccination extends in one case will probably be extended by vaccination in tLe other, and is even more needed, at least so far as life * concerned. +20-- Two of the comets, the times of the periodical return of which have been calculated by asiron- omers, are now visible with the aid of a tele- scope, one in the evening and the other in the morning sky, and both are daily increasing in brightness. The first, Encke’s comet, is travers- ing the constellation Vulperula. It was nearest the earth on Wednesday last, and will be nearest the sun on the 28thof next month. Early in De- cember it plunges into the golar rays and disap- pears. The pathway of T: "8 comet lies along the eastern skies, before the rising sun. Jus: now it forms an equilateral triangle with two brilliant stars, Regulus and Alpha Hydra. Next Thursday it reaches the confines of the Crater, ‘he Count of Chambord | LOCAL NEWS.
