Ingalls, who is also urged by ex-President Grant, would be aext in line to Succeed. The friends of Gen.

Chief Brooks, of the secret service, referring to the numerous recent comments on the $100 counterfeit, says that the first of these coun- terfeits was detected some 15 months ago, and that since that time the secret service has been endeavoring to discover the persons who emitted there notes. The circulators of them have been extremely shrewd, as the notes have appeared in different states from Maine to Texes, There are six of the counterfeits, all evidently printed from the same plates. Bat one of them only is og fiber paper, and that hiber paper is of & very poor quality and may be distinguished from the genuine fiber paper by the fact that when the fiber is extracted from the note it Is found to be without any toughness, Is soft and breaks easy; whereas the genuine fiber is very tough and can with difficulty be broken.

New Yorks, June 30, The early and extreme warmth of the sum- mer has bad much to do in determining the Prevalence of many summer fashions, and the ginghams and the foulard3 are a boon that must be felt to be appreciated. All the more elaborate finery 1s expected at least by those who can afford to make a choice; velvet and damassee grenadines because they must be made over silk, and are therefore always double and costly, and Surah silks, which are light, be- cause they are Close and warm and and require the utmost nicety in all the details of the toilette, The ginghams, as before remarked, are a boon, they are so light and cool, and though the idiotic way of making them frequently prevents them from being so useful as they otherwise would be, because difficult to launder, yet ir carefully treated they retain their first fresh- ness a considerable tinte, and for ordinary morn- ing and country walking wear, are very pleas. ant and more desirable than any other of the cotton fabrics. The objection to the cotton crépesis that they never look clean, and that they “craw?” all over. In silk underwear this ts not objectiona- ble, the fineness and the softness rendering the eontact agreeable; but in acomparatively cheap dress fabric, the crinkle and the sensation it produces assumes a new character, and not a pleasant one, and it 1s discovered that créze Inust be choice and fine to be desirable. Next in popularity to the ginghams come the foulards, not the Satin, but the plain printed foulards with light ground, well covered and trimming of the same or lace. There 1s nothing new about these foulards except that the grounds are better covered than formerly, and Une designs full of Japanese and “bric-a-brac” suggestions. The colors, too, are a mingling of oid blue and olive shades, bronze, pink, old gold, or red, the grounds oe. usually very del- ieately thntéd and the high color very sparingly used in the designs. The later importations of these foulards are accompanied by a borderiig to match, and are much newer than anything else in the way of D, color, and arrange- ment of trimming, which fs intended to provide for innumerable little ruffles. The satin foulards, as remarked in previons letters, are more pronounced, the ground color is deeper, the tloral designs more distinct, the colors higher, and they do not blend nor do the jines*iow into each other with the same grace a3 those previously mentioned. In making them up, combinations are usually effected with plain satin of a light summer quality and texture, but the distinctiveness of color and pattern 1s such that a medium of commun Uon is needed between them—a sort of bridge to prevent the shock of too sudden a coilisio between two thoroughly individualized fabri ‘Th's is effected with Diack lace, very clo: Pleated and laid in rows or arranged in altel nate fiounces upon the tablier, the back being gathered straight. NO OVERSKIRTS. Overskirts have disappeared entirely; only fragments of them are seen in occasional shor aprons, side panters and the like. The shori straight skirt, full at the back, which ts ce: tainly not pretty or graceful, is a reaction from the “‘draperied” designs which have been wora soloug and become so excessively tiresome. Something ugly 1 ositively refreshing and makes the faces prettier by contrast. There is nothing so wearl-ome as this eternal strata after “prettiness,” which means nothing aud is common “to everything—use, honesty, sutt- ability, unconscious grace, mere tidiness Is bet- ter than eternal prettiness. ‘Thank Heaven that we have even partly goi rid of the overskirt. Doubtless {t will come to the surface again; perhaps we may even beglad 1o see it again for a change; but at present we have had enough of it, and we feel quite Itke saying what a good-natured, kind-hearved lady said to her unwelcome visitor when she lert promising a speedy return: “Good-bye, dear, and don’t hurry back.” ‘Talk about fashion being changeable, was there ever harder work than to get rid of one when it once obtains a “vogue.” You might as Well try to disicdge the moon! In fact it 1s very like the moon—tt only disappears to reappear, if not complete tn halves or quarters whieh, be” fore you knew It, blossom out into a full moon as before. But there are other evidences of improvement and gradual advance alopg the line, and one of bese Is in relation to BRIDES’ TROUSSEAUX. An important and salutary change {3 taking place in the preparation of brides’ trousseaux, and one that will have a deeper and more last- ing effect than might be anticipated from any inatter that belongs to the wardrobe. It has been the custom heretofore in this country for parents to supply the daughter’s trousseau on her marriage without any reference to her future condition in life but simply in accordance with her own wishes, the vanity of her mother, or the previous extent and naiure of her belong- logs. The presents were made in the same way, not in accordance with whe future means and fon of the married couple, but to suit the style and belongings of the bride's parents, so that It is not at all uncommon wo see two peopie living on a very narrow income, yet actually burdened with fine clothes and ornamental jim- cracks, for which they have neither space nor opportunity for their display. The finery ts laid away or worh when something less elaborate and costly would be much more suitable; the gorgeous pieces of silver or plated ware find their way to the “duplicate” shop, where they are excl bly for something tnat is wanted cr sold for half price. All this is the height of folly, and very differ- ent from the custom in the best families ia Eag- land. ‘There, no matter what the wealth of the parents, the bride’s outiit 1s graded by the means of her husband, and the necessities of her posi- tion as his wife. If he is higher in the social seale, every effort ls made to provide that which is Suitable for a more exalted rank; but if, as is frequently the case here, he is a’ young man without means and with his place to make in the world, the money that would have been spent On an expensive outfit is put into useful household articles or wisely lavested for the girl's benefit. ‘This method has been strictly followed in several well-known families recently where the daughters have married young men of good po- sition but limited Income, which must of neces- sity govern the style of their living. The trous- Seaux In these cases were very moderate, and consisted of useful and practical rather than rich apd ornamental articles. Such garments, in fact, as could be replaced when ‘nec -ssary without depleting tco fast and too far the hus- band’s purse. The unappropriated funds in one instance furnished all the linen and the china for the new household, and in another bought a United States ae cent bond, the interest of which will at least enable the wife to buy her husband Christmas presents without draw- Be iy & poor le costly trained dresses laid away in her trunks, cane Knick- Knacks scattered or packed for which she had no space, who had not a dollar she could call her own to give, or to spend, or to keep.

It develops energy, purpose and ability, besides preparing them for the greater and more im- Portant duties of the future, - Among the middle or professional classes a great many girls now earn in one way or an- other the income which either supports them or furnishes their clothing and spending money. ‘The new developments in art decorative work have belped greatly toward this end; and in kindergartens young girls are now doing for the little ones too young for regular school what venerable old ladies did for the young ee of the last century in their “infant schools.” The great improvement in the dress of the college and high-school girls is evidence of their willingness to adopt a better method when {t {s shown them, as wellas by the fact that dress subordinates itself at once to higher interests when these obtain a foot hold. Fancy and gew gaws, which require attention and constant change, are incompatible with devotion to exac- ting and absorbing studies. When students find this out they drop them and cultivate a kind of dress that does not take their attention from their work, that is simple, and what ts easily adjustcd. This has become the rule in all first- class women’s colleges, and in the best of col- Jegiate institutes, high-schools, and seminaries. FASHION AS A BUG-BEAR however, no longer exists. Women of intell!- vence dress as they please. Some really know little and care less about clothes, and are rather at the mercy of their dressmaker in conse- quence. But there is not_ much gained in read- ing about fashion because it is the business of the fashion wniter to avoid reiteration in regard 'oasube:t wii h is endless and useless itera- ton, and in which it 1s necessary to work un- important things up so as to make them seem im- portant. ‘This necessarlly makes large drafts at Imes upon the myentive faculties, for who cares to know how ‘little there is that is really new under the sun? We were all born yester- day and wiil be dead to-morrow, and we all b>- leve that the world began and will die with us. ALL WHITE TOILETS. At a recent fashionable breakfast given to young people of both sexes tn honor ofthe re- turn of one of their number, a young lady, from an extended stay abroad, ali the toilets were white; and the remarkable thing about it was that the idea was carriea out by the gentlemen as well as by the fadies. The costumes of the gentlemen generally consistea of white flannel or white diagonal, and were faced with white corded or twilled silk, with a soft flnish. Pale lavender or mauve ties were indulged in, and there were some white, with delicate sprigs of embroidery, but gi So far asthe geutlemen were concerned, were conspicuous by their ab- sence, and the majority of the ladies wore ivory sik mitts. The dresses of the girls were pro- Bounced “lovely.” How could ‘aey be other- wise? Girls never look so well in anything as in white, and In this instance all were tasteful though many were simple. One of the pret- Uest exhibited an over-dress of Surah, draped away from the front over a shirred skirt of fine India muslin, tramined with white la°e, the close paniered over-skirt paket a border of the same lace, over which hung a fringe of lillies of the valley. This trimming was repeated upon the open V-shaped neck and elbow-sleeves, also composed Of the Surah. The honored ‘guest wore a very rich dress of white damasse gren- adine over a short skirt of white satia, composed of fine Reale over which were ruffles of a pleated ce, The damasse was fringed with lace ard [eats and pearls festooned the dress in front, ides furnishing iu a finer and more costly form the ornaments for neck, arms and ears. Several of the dresses were of white dotted muslin, others were of foile religense, a soft, thin woolen material otherwise called “ nun’s yelling.” ‘These last were usually trimmed with white satin, and several, in addition, with tier upon tier of pleated Languedoc or Bréton lace; for though this style of trimming is not new, there is no other so pretty for dresses of this deseription. The chief points of the toilettes were:—first, that the dresses were all short; second, that 89 meny were fringed with flowers; third, that only high-heeled tle shoes or strapped slippers ‘ere worn with the fine open-worked or em- broidered silk ae ; fourth, that excepting earrings and bangle bracelets, composed of an infinite number of coils, there was scarcely any jewelry; sixth, the hair of every one was tinged across the front, but otherwise dressed with the uumost simplicity In a low, loose kno", or bunch of-braids or curls, surmounted with comb, band, or silver ornament. ARTIFICIAL WILD FLOWERS. ‘The imitation of “road-side” flowers, (by soma called weeds)—such as golden rod, scarlet feather, wild laurel, hed; etc.—Is a present feature of floral fashion as found at the miiliner’s shop; ‘and, to carry out the idea of blossoms culled on the way, dust is also imi- tated in a fine powdery appearance, and some of the leaves, buds and flowers appear to droop as if half withered. These imitations are ex- tremely aa Ustic, and clusters of them fasten the “Swiss aprons” of muslin worn at lawn-tennis, as also the tops of lace handkerchief bags. For the aprons, the arrangement uires three litle bunches down the right side and one thrust into the top of the left pocket. These pretty notions being in such vogue increase the efforts to attain perfection in imitating even the most insignificant floweret. TEA GOWNS AND NEGLIGE DRESSING. ‘The forms of tea gowns are so various that almost anything that is extremely negligé 1s hear to being a tea gown; but some of the pret- est are certainly the raw silk, hand embroid- ered at intervals With the uniest of rosebads, and hanging loose from the neck band to the floor in what is an exaggeration of the Watteau shoulder-fold. The hem {s cut into the square “Venetian” points and ey, filled in with ruching either short and stiff or knife folded, and two inches in len; Enormous ranging sleeves, which fall back up to the very shoulder when the arm is raised, and have also points and ruching, display, if the material 1s muslin, # bunch of natural flowers set into the hollow of the arm at the elbow. Another bunch, very large, of natural flowers, is fastened anywhere Uhat the wearer pleases upon the front folds of the gown. A profusion of lace adorns the front of the walst carelessly bunched about the tifoat, and Carrying OUt the idea of extreme 2u9lGe as It Is now regarded by artistic author- iues, A Paris authority says: “When Sarah Bernhardt appears before the American pudlic those who have not seen her during that trip to Paris that everybody takes, will see in what peat her stage dressing excels that of all English and some American actresses. It is simply that she understands true negilgé. In Uhis alone does Bernhardt’s stage attire sur- pass that of the majority of her competitors. Style, exceeding elegance, she certainly attains, Others can attain the same by carefully study- ing these points of superiority, but in the art ol wearing,with careless negligence what is striclly the habiliment of the boudoir, she is abcolutely unsurpassed, as she is in the exqui- site taste with which she orders these ‘special garments. A lace peignoir which, upon many, would appear slovenly, will fall about her with arustic elegance, and yet its grace appears all unstudied. From carelessly an hair to siippered foot all will carry out the idea of a lady surprised in her least soigne momeat; but with What consummate art is every particular studied before hand! Every fold has its lan- guage, every frill its meaning. The whole is elmply perfect.” HOSIERY.

FRENCH JESUITS EXPELLED THE PORTE AND THE POWERS. Manchester Trade Report. Lopon, July 1.—The Manchester Guardian, in its monthly trade report, says: “There have been some decided elements of improvement during the past month, and the aggregate of the business done is larger. The prospects for the autumn trade are brighter. The increase in buy- ing bas been most conspicuous in leading east- ern staple, There has been also a rather better demand for some smaller foreign outlets, The European and home demand ‘have been very poor. Despite the increased business of the past Month prices on the whole are unimproved, and as the price of the raw material has some. What advanced, the position of producers on the whcle bas deteriorated. There 1s, however, some ground to hope, in consequence of the good har- Vest propects, etc.” Expulsion of the Jesuits from rance. Loxron, July 1.—The sem{-official note wht h journals announcing that the execution of Ua: anti Jesuit decrees has not led to disturbance in any part ot France, and that effect had only to be given to-day (Wednesday) to the decrees affecting the Jesuits concludes as follows: “The government knows its duty, and will perform ii with firmness.” A Paris dispatch to the Times says: “The number of peisons expelied trom the Jesuit cbapel here yesterday morning was thirteen, including one Englishman aud one Russian’ The second Jesuit establishment, that of the German Jesuits, 13 at present not interfered with. At Laval several English Jesuits called Ob the crowd of spectators to witness that their rights were being violated, and sald they would appeal to the English ambassador. The crowd of people which witnessed the expulsion of the Jesults from the establishment in the Rue de Sevies was almost stupitied by the procedure employed. In Paris where the individual ts drowned in the wass, the thi is less serious, but in the provinces it will have far deeper effects, France will be divided into two camps, separated by an unfathomatve abyss. ‘Those enly who have lived in the provinces can form an idea of the effect of these oppressive measures. The government ought not to pro ceed further in this direction.” The country Must not come to look upon the republic as synonymous With persecution. Because at resent the republic has no opposition to fear it Ought to be tolerant, for it can be so without danger. A government supported by the nation and victorious over all adver. Saries commits the test blunder by Violatirg personal liberty under —_ the pretext of protecting itself when In no rT. it is expected that the Jesuits will immegiately apply to the judges, complaining of thé viola- ton of their rights of property and domicile, and praying for an order of reinstatement. Yending the trial of the case the government will Contend that the ordinary tril als have Lo jul isdiction in such dispute between individu- als and the state, that the council of state can alone determine the validity of the expulsion. ‘The government, however, is in manifest difi- culty with the other unrecognized orders, as it never calculated on their refusing to apply for recognition, and now that they have firmly re- Solved on linking their fate with the Jesuits. The government must either shut ttseyes to the Violation of the decrees or repeat ona much jarger Scale to-day’s (Wednesday’s) proceed- ings. ‘The Porte and the Powers. Loxvon, July 1.—A dispateh from Vienna to the Times says: The communication to the Porte of the decision of the supplementary con- ference by an identical instead of a collective note, has the advantage of leaving to every power greater jom ‘With the Porte. From the adoption of this form it may be inferred that hopes exist of inducing the Porte to acquiesce. Opinion here is divided as to whether it will doo or not, but even the most hopeful do not believe the Porte will acquiesce immediately, and anticipate objections at every point. A dispatch from Constaniinople to the Daily “rs Says: The Porte is hesitating, and would Probably like to but war would be very unpopular, and probably be the signal for out- breaks 1n every part of empire.
