The great business houses are as blank of customers as if they had sudden- ly been infested by the plague, or petrified by a volcanic eruption, The clerks stand behind the counters yawning, the goods lay untouched on the shelves, If some bemghted woman, a stranger fromthe country, or an early arrival does find her way tnto their desolate immensity she shrinks back, appalled at her own temerity and at the excitement—great as the appearance of the first white woman in a new settlement— which her presence creates. Only in one or two of the largest and most im- portant houses is there an evidence of the ap- proach of autumn in fabric or costame, and this consists principally of the appearance of Eng. lish serge water-proof cloth and other standard materials which come under the denomination of useful,and are not materially affected by fashion. The greater part of the goods on exhi- bition are summer silks, spatted foulards, India silks and crapes, grenadines, linens and batistes, which have a fade and forlorn look in the cool brightness in “our late August weather, which seemed much more like September.

Supervising Inspector of Steam Vessels, Baltimore, Md. Sir: Pursuant to your order of the 11th inst., directing an investigation into the cause of the burning on the Sth of August, 1573, of the steamer Wawaset, an@ the consequent loss of has for. | Debt on which interest hasceased life occasioned thereby, we have the honor to ne for | "since maturity submit herewith the testimony taken, and with it our report upon the case. The investigation was commenced on Friday morning, August 15th, 1873, in the office of the supervising Inspector, a” United States Treasury department, in the city of Washing- ton, and was continued from day to day and closed on Friday, August 22, 1873, having held seven sessions, embracing in all seyen days. Forty-five witnesses were examined, including the inspectors by whom the steamer was last int spected; the officers of the yessel, and several of the surviving passengers. ‘The facts developed by the testimony are briefly as follows: ‘The Wawaset was one of those steamers ply- ing between Washington and Cone river, adi tance of about one hundred miles, touching at intermediate points, and owned by the Wash- ington Ferry Company. She was built at Wi mington, in the state of Delaware, in the year 1563, and was of 328 90-100 tons burthen; ‘was constructed of wood in a substantial manner, United States certificate of license, and equally as ignorant of the requirement of the laws, rales and regulations governing the steamboat inspection service. In his own testimony the chief engineer of the steamer Wawaset, Robert Nash, admitted the fact of his trading in truck produce, &c., at different landings when the steamer was run- ning on her regular trips, and particularly on the day of the disaster; the evidence adduced also proved that he waa at different times in at- tendance at the bar on the steamer, during his watch, and when the law positively demanded his presence at his post of duty in the engine room. It was also shown that the hose was not connected with the fire pumps, and that when the alarm of fire was given Mr. Nash became perfectly paralyzed, and made little or no eifort to extinguish the fire, and none to save the lives of the passengers. If the hose had been attached to either of the pumps, and one or both of these Legge used in connection with the fire extinguisher, and the steam smothering pipe—the latter of which was under the entire charge of the engineer—we firmly believe the tire on the Wawaset would have been put out and the dreadful calamity avoided. ‘The negligence and misconduct of the chief engineer of the steamer Wawaset prior to the burning of the steamer, as well as his unoificer- like conduct after the fire occurred, are, in our opinion, deserving of the severest condemuation and the highest penalty prescribed by law. tions of individual taste or fashion. What is called ‘full’ dress, for example, might and should be as distinctive and capable of recognition as the “swallow-tailed” coat, which fs the tems ped after year, always the distinctive mark of the gentleman upon cere- monious Occasions, or when he knows that he will be introduced into the society of ladies. The low-necked and short-sleeved dress former- ly occupied this position, and does in Engiand to this day; but American ladies have never taken kindly to it, to their good sense and taste be it said, for it is unfitted ‘to the majority, 1 either awkward or indecent in appearance, aud incapable of modification. A much more artistic design and one capable of innumerable variations may beobtained from old picturesand paintings the great masters in which, almost uniformly adopted the square boddice and sleeve shaped or banging loosely over the elbow. This style is picturesque yet stately and elegant; it associates itself indescri- bably and involuntarily with the lady of the castle “‘to the manor born,” yet adapts itself to all ages, conditions, minor chat and individual peculiarities.’ The fair, full neck and round white threat €nd init the Opportu- nity for display, the lean and bony one can modestly veil itseif with puffi or lace.

So tar as the es equipment of the steam- er Wawaset at time of her last inspection (March 24th, 1873), is concerned, it isin evi- dence that she was fully up to ‘standard re- quired by the laws and rules relating to steam vessels, and therefore can discover no derelic- tion of duty on the part of the inspectors under whose jurisdiction the steamer belonged; we be lieve they performed their duty impartially and bg sec 3 Jamesl.

He therefore has no hesitation in declaring that the Potomac Ferry company was running the steamer Wawaset, onthe 8th day of August, 1873, in open violation of the law, not only regards the carriage of an excessive number of passengers, but also in employing unlicensed officers, and we earnestly recommend that steps be promptly taken by the proper officers of the government to impose upon said company the extreme penalties of the law for sucli violations; are soon occupied, and that it matters li! who take the parts in the farce so long as it is played.

FINDING OF KELSEY’S BODY The remains of a human body, which had evidently been long in the water, were discov- ered on Friday last in Oyster Bay, Long Isl- and, by two fishermen, and taken to the townof Oyster Bay, L. 1, where Coroner Baylis made an examination. But little of the body was left except the legs, which were found to be partly covered with feathers, beneath trousers and drawers. From a pocket in the trousers hung @ watch chain, which was fully identified as that of Charles 'G. Kelsey, of Huntington, whose mysterious disappearance, nearly a year ago, created great excitement in that part of Long Island. It will be remembered that Kel- sey, who was charged with having annoyed and insulted a young lady in the village, was tarred hompa d stand.

PRESENT STYLES Three fail and winter suits, just completed by an acknowledged authority, will afford some in- dication of the fall styles. One was of black cashmere, the skirt plain and demi-trained, the polonaise longs simply looped at the sides, and trimmed with black buttons; black elastic belt fastened with jet clasp at the back. Loops of silk cord and buttons were attached to the skirt under the polonaise, so that it could be drawn up to walking length. Black buttons and jet ornaments haye taken the place, to some ex- tent, of oxydized silver upon all black cos- tumes, but the change is a matter of taste. Buttons and clasps of old silver are still fash- ionably worn. Where jet is used a jet chate- laine is added, from which a large black fan suspended, giving a thoroughly conventual ef- fect. A second costume consisted of skirt and long polonaise also, in soft, thick, satin-finished black silk. It was the same in design as the other, only the train was about a quarter of a yard ‘longer. The polonaise was trimmed with COMPENSATIONS. Year by year the fashionable world—that is, the world who own and oceupy the great brown stone houses on the fashionable avenues, and pharierar ed the world that lives in hotels and oarding houses—remain away from them more and more, longer and still longer, until their ac- tual livingin them is limited to less than six months in the year. ‘This 1s perhaps only natu- ral.

They have no close calculations to make in regard to the possibility of new cur- tains, no concealments to devise for faded fur- niture and worn carpets; no important decision to arrive at as to which member of the family shall have the new best dress this year, which the new furs, or which the new street suit. All these points are adjusted or adjust themselves where ‘money is no object,” but to others, the vast multitude of “limited incomes,” they form @ great port of the work of life, and the breath- ing space afforded by the still ‘long days, after the brief holiday, and before the ‘‘rush” be- gins, is gratefully taken advantage of by hun- stad t i . | the enginesr. i to assume that there will be - | as also upon John KR.
