Lady Habberton’s tnvention has been fairly introduced to New York, but I'll wager a thousand to one that it will prove a dead failure In spite of its aristocratic backer, It 1s a costume known as the “divided skirt,” which Is designed to present the best qualities of both the trousers and gown, but instead makes glaring their worst features. It is a dress or skirt divided down the middle so as to be In a measure like trousers, but it 1s so flend- fsbly ugly that its adoption would drive all the men to the north pole. Miss Kate Field gave the first exhibition, but it didn’t create much enthu- siasm. Ifitisonce introduced among women St Will, Of course, only be a question of for the skirts on each aide of the dividing line to be male smaller and smaller until trousers are reached and knee-breeches ultimately pronounced the pro ¥ caper for all ladies who wish to be in the style. is Inay be a consumation devoutly to be wished for by some men of pronounced Ideas, but for my Part I don’t relish the contemplation of the day When our mothers and sisters shall be skirtless and the earth a bristling sea of legs, WHAT SHALL WE WEAR? ‘The subject that ts perplexing the young lady of fashion Just now is what she Is going to wear dur- ing this season that has just been ushered in. She has recovered sufficiently from the merry rounds of the gay season to come to this all-important subject with a fair degree of freshness. In the Matter of dress the hat and bonnet come first nat- urally, and women are logical in this respect at st, in beginning with the head. Going down Broadway to-day iy attention was attracted by the number of smali bonnets worn, jcularly by women of middle age. Although it 1s too soon for the more advanced styles, this may be taken as an Indication that bonnets are to be reduced to the mintmum. Some of them now are so diminutive that they make the basest pretense of covering the head—to be more accurate, they leave the uncovered. Yet the wearers submit to the disa- bie spring blasts as if they were something to fe cadured, ‘heater-goers would hail with de- ght a similar tendency in hats. At present the spreading Gainsborough makes it necessary for a Spectator to get a front seat in the gallery if he | wants to keep an eye on the s We are in- formed, on good authority, that large round hats are to be worn. But a fact’not to be overlooked 13 that they are to have their brinis bent somewhat differently. One of the leading features of the big hats has been the feathers and tipsthat have nod- ded from the crown and curled around the edges. Fashion now dictates that feathers and tips have had their day—at least for the present. They are to be replaced by flowers of the esthetic varieties, lites, sunflowers, and the Uke, among others, Perhaps I am not warranted in including the gor- eous sunflower; but as a matter of fact I saw a at bobbing along the street to-day decorated with one as large around almost asa saucer, It was a rich golden color, with a dark brown center, so natural withal that Mr. Wilde would have’ as- sumed a worshiptul attitude towards it at once. Pretty young women, with fresh faces, will have an opportunity to appear at a advantage in oke-shaped bonnets, as a wreath of flowers is to be Worn around the edge of the rim, on the out. side, or next to the head, within the brim. But such a delicate frame, itmust be admitted, would be rather trying on coarse features or a bad com- plexion. 3 ‘THEATER-TICKET SPECULATORS. Many people express surprise at the opposition shown in the legislature to the bill to prevent spec- ulating In tlekets. They cannot understand where such an apparently poor-looking set of devils a8 the ticket speculators get thetr influence from. It 13a popular idea that managers dislike the specu- lators and will be only too happy when their oper- ations are pronounced misdemeanors. This is the result of the constantly reiterated complaintof the manager—how he hates tosce his patrons imposed upon and hopes the dreadful sharps will be sup- pressed, But it you know the inside way at Al- any What do you find? Why you find the man- ager putting up his money toafd the tleket sharps! ‘This js the reason: the sharps are in nearly every ease employed by the manager. He takes one of them and gives him gay $10 week. The fellow sells perhaps twenty ‘seats a night at mfty cents advance over the box ofilce gain. That puts ten dollars a nignt more into the manager's pockets. It pays, It isan awful nuisance to the public, though. You start out to the theater and expect to buy an orchestra chair for $1.50, but when you t to the door you find that all the best seats in the jouse are in the hands of some half dozen specu- lators, who caper about you like madmen and shout like fog horns. You have a lady with you perhaps, and don’t want, to fizht it out there, so Zou meekly pay perhaps $225 for the seats adver~ Uised at $1.50, and hurry in to get away from the | loud-mouthed charlatans, The thing is an out- rage. THE MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL is already becoming a topie of much interest In musical circles. There are to be four evening and three afternoon performances. The program for the season {s varied. Much interest is also mant- fested in other’cities in the success of the festival. Theodore Thomas, who 1s to be the director, has been hard at work organizing twogreat choruses— that of the New York Chorus Society and that of the Phitharmonic of Brooklyn. As Mr. Thomas 13 the mfisical director of these societies, he has al- Teady accomplished much in drilling them in chorus music. Help ts to be furnished by the Han- del and Haydn Society of Boston, the Oratorio So- elety of Baltimore, the Cectilan Society of Phila Gelpbia, and otuer socteties, making more than 3,000 trained’ voices in all. 'The fist of artists will include Madame Amalia Maturna, who 1s described as the German interpreter of Wagner. It is said that Wagner has selected this artiste to create the leading part in a new work entitled “Parsifal.” Annie Louise Cary, Miss Emily Winant, Myron W. Whitney, George Henschel and Franz Remmertz have also been en . Dudley Buck 1s to be the organist, and the orchestra Will be composed of thre hundred musicians, from the best performers in this city, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Chicago. Among the work to bé presented are the “Israel in, Bypt? of Handel, ethoven’s “Missa Solemnis,” the “Fall of Troy” by Berlioz, and Bach’s “A Stronghold Sure.” Madame Maturna, as Brunnhilde, will perform the closing scenes or “Gotterdammerung.” There are great expectations of this singer. She achieved her greatest success at Beyreuth, where she created the part of Brunnhitde. ‘This was in 1876, She will, withont doubt, prove the great attrac- Uon of the festival, THE SAW-DUST OPERA. ‘The beginning of the season In the circus world will, of course, have to be chronicled. Barnum’s show is the most remarkable conglomeration of legs, beasts and curiosities that 13 possible to im- wine. When three rings are going all at once in a bewildering maze of motion, chariots are racing around them all, and twenty-two elephants are shorting tn unison with a gigantic band, the effect is startling at least. ‘These, of course, are In addi tfon to no end of wonders: and curiosities and howling beasts of every kind, and men and women ng througi: the air from’ guns, catapults and spriag bourds. But the greatest sight of all was the veritable P. ‘T. Barnum himseif when he tod- dled into the middie ring and delivered his little speech. Then he went over and shook hands with Gen. Grant and provoked a by-stander into yell- ng: “ Three cheers for the two great American insti tutious—Barnuin and Grant!” Mr. Barnum takes great delight in his show and is constantly on hand. It ts all well enough to tilk of only his name being used, but witen you investigate you find that his head fs always the ee one tp the firm. He is still robust and « Uve, though seventy-three years old. Til never forget whit he sald to me by the elephant ring alter the show Monday night. “This Is a wonderful show, Mr. Barnum,” I said. es,” sald he, thoughtfully, “it’s a wonderiul . ‘Tam amazed myself when 1 look at it, Do you know the standing wonder of my old age? It isthe extent to which the show business is car- tied. In the wildest dreams of my youth, and 1 med of nothing else but shows, I’ never thought ft could reach this. Iam happy now be- cause my dreams are more than realized. The man who can reach three-quarters of a century and Say the same ought to be happy.” THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA. A rumor was set afloat to-day that is interesting to all lovers of the legitimate drama. It is noth- ing less than that Lester Wallack ts not content with merely making dollars. For the most part when in his old theater he presented old English comedies and plays that gave the members of nis company ad opportunity to exercise their artistic skill, and asa reward his patrons came from the vest'circies, and his theater enjoyed the distinc— tion of ranking higher than any other in this country. When he opened his new theater it was with the delightful comedy “The School for Scandal;” but the new house was soon invaded by “howling melo-drama, that made the friends of the old theater regret the e ir. the house Is now ci Wallack will gre comedies pany. and at the old he will carry such “Youth” and “The World.” It ts said tl confident that he can manage two theaters. who have succeeded in drit Who love true art on the “Taken from Life,” ts now in Tel tuought that it will be the old house, when it comes under management again. CBEAP CABS AGAIN. « Another attempt is being made to introduce cheap cabs into New York through the efforts of a num- ber of gentlemen who are working In the interests of the public. The prime mover ts Mr. W. H. Guion, ‘whose bill provides that the fare for the first two miles shall be 25 cents. and 2 cents fer each addi : vere he is Their charges are entirely arbitrary. To de sure there is some sort of an agreement by which they are supposed to charge only $1.50 for the first hour and $i for the next, but when you come to settle with them you’ are always charged for the most astonishing number of hours. You can stop and quarrel with the driver 1 you wish to, but it is as annoying as It ts useless for the foul’ mouthed swindlers always come out ahead. The incentive for overcharge is very great. Everything over gocs into their own ets. cabs here ure all owned by big rms, Who pay their drivers such miserable wages that they are almost forced to overcharge. I was ‘obliged to catch the 4 o'clock Boston express one day, several weeks ago, and found myself at Madl- son square with only’ twelve minutes to spare. Probably I could have made the train In the street cars, but I was afraid to take the risk, and jumped into'a cab. Iwas at the depot in seven minutes and had to pay two dollars and a-half for the cab. I protested and called on a policeman, but got no satisfaction. Itisan outrage that is perpetrated fifty times a day and the cheap cab service is a Positive necessity if the city hopes to be called civilized, THE SPRING RACES. “Owners and trainers are well stirred up,” sald an old turfman to-day, “and the outlook for a good season Is promising.” “What do the Dwyer Brothers propose doing?” “They learned a lesson iast year, and will not at- tempt to win everything at the spring races to get nothing in the fall. It {s their intention to make tour through the west with Hindoo and Runny- mede. Luke Blackburn may go too. On their re- turn they will be prepared for Jerome Park.” “What Is the condition of the horses?” “Hindoo 1s in excellent form. He has the wiry movement and fresh look that he had at the begin- ning of last season. Luke Blackburn is also in fine trim. He 1s as fat and sleek as a well fed kit- ten. Runnymede looks well. Mr. Keene will run Bolero, who came from Nashville, where he won food Feputation for speed. Its satd that he will ring Foxhall home at the close of the season, but it may not be so. Keene manages his ho! he does everything else—without any talk. Th® out- look forthe coming season here is uncommonly bright just now.” THE TROY TERROR. Mr. Dick Eagan yclept “The Troy Terror” seems to be actually hungering fora fight, but oddly enough he don’t want to fight with anyone else except John L. Sullivan, the champion of America. Any other man would consider this sure death, but the “Terror” pants for a chance at Sullivan, but if he ever getsit he'll pant no more. The “Terror” 1s 1arge, windy, and confident, and decidedly well developed in Surface muscle, but he stands no more chance before Sullivan than Whitelaw Reld. One thing aspiring pugilists would do well to bear in mind—Sullivan has the most terrible right arm in the world. Probably the man never lived who could use his arms with the force Sullivan does. ‘This isn’t tule sporting talk. He nearly killed Joe Goss when he had soft gloves on. Goss can fell an Ox with one blow of his fist, but he could no more ward off that terrible arm than he could ward off a Ughtning express on the Central road. After their short encounter Goss said: “I've ‘eard of such things but never siw’em. Why ’e ’its so tremen- (uous that T wouldn't give ‘arfpenny for a man's life who got one of ‘em straight.” Goss knew what hard blows were, too, for he took 84 rounds of Ryan’s sledge hammer blows before he gave in. Remember, too, that Sullivan knocked Ryan out of time in four rounds, Imerely throw out these hints for the benefit of any muscular young men in. Washington who may be aspiring to the prize Ting. If the “Terror” ever gets in the way of that right arm there ‘ll be another instance, MRS. WALL'S CASB. ‘There has been nothing of so much interest to dramatic circles for a long time as the case of Mrs, Wall, who recently shot her husband in a little village on Long Island. I remember her as a char- acter In the “Shaughran,” and the recollection of her pretty faco and figure was in strong contrast with the grief-stricken woman I saw the other day. She could hardly walk from her carriage in- to the coroner's office, and when she related the story of the shooting she sobbed convulsively. She had the sympathy of her hearers, and a fecl— ing of relief was apparent when the favorable verdict of accidental shooting was brought in. But as her case has not been dis; ot by the offi- clais on Long Island, she 1s sull retained as a pris- oner in the Raymond street jail, in Brooklyn. The moral may be drawn from the story that the trag- edy has brought to ght of the infelicities of the young lawyer and his vivacious, tmpulsive wife, that actfesses should marry in their profession’ It is equally true that a young man ‘on dan- rous ground when he allows himself to become [pfatuated with a woman on the stage and takes er from it to marry her—not that an actress may hotmake a devoted wife, but the restrictions of domestic Jife are apt to make her unhappy, and the husband also suffers as a matter of course. ‘There are some stories current that Mrs. Wall, or Lizzie McCall as she was known on the stage, has a violent temper, and that she once made an as- sauit upon Mr. Rice, when under his management. But her conduct since the shooting has lett little doubt in most minds of her innocence of criminal enh ‘The Courts. Court IN GENERAL TERM. Yesterday, Burnett agt. Babcock; argued and submitted.

A BANQUET GIVEN BY IRISH CITIZENS LAST NIQHT— DISTINGUISHED GUESTS AND ELOQUENT SPERCHES. The festivities with which Saint Patrick's day Was observed were clos‘1 gloriously Last evening with a banquet given at Abner's hall by our Irish citizens. One hundred and fi:ty people sat down to the banquet, which was spread in a superd manner. The hall was decorated in good taste, with Irish and American colors. ‘The viends were Inviting, the wing and speschs sparkling, The pecullarity of the menu Was that no e001 Catholle ad to violate his Lenten obligations in order to do full justice to every course, Tt was as follows: green turtle soup, Rock fish, s2uce AW OF: Hollandaise, ‘boiled: imported Irish potatoes, vol aux vent of oysters, baked shad a la Jardintere, terrapin stew, brolied oysters on toast, devited crabs, lobster and other salads, radiehes, olives, celery, etc., cabinet pudding with wine sauce, ice- cream, cakes, coffee.

Mr. Thomas Broderick, as ehairman of the com- mittee of arrangements, presided, and the dis- Ungulshed guests of the evening sat on elther side of “him.

After these preliminaries::the toastmaster, Mr Dennis Connell, put on hiy glasses and took pos_ Session of the floor. ‘He proposed as the first toast “The Day we Celebrate,” to which Hon. John Kenna, of West Virginia, was invited to re- spond. Mr. Kenna put;the company into excellent humor by a very witty speech, which he prefaced by saying he had @speech for the occa- sion, but found when be arrived that it did not suit ‘the theme to which he. was assigned, on which account he had turned his speech over to another man. “The President of the United States,” was re- sponded to by Hon. John Paul, of Virginia, who Sald, in the course of his remarks, that to Pres!- dent Arthur belonged the immortal honor of being the first President since the war to emphasize his administration by the entire absence of a south- [ef policy. He closed with a warm wish for the success of President Arthur’s administration, for freedom and unity in America, and freedom and home-rule in Ireland. “Ireland's Cause” was responded to by Hon. Ben. Butterworth, of Ohio. Mr. Butterworth Joco- sely remarked that he intended to begin Just as Mr. Kenna had begun. Kenna, he said, had not treated him fairly. He had given him is speech with the understanding that nothing should be sald about it, When Mr. Kenna heard it he would be glad he gave itaway. Mr. Butterworth then delivered a bright and eloquent speech upon the Subject of his toast. hen Mr. Butterworth sat down Mr. Kenna rose to remark that Mr. Butterworth had ungrac ously failed in the periormance of a high duty, that of thanking hin (the speaker) for writing Tor py @ better speech than he had delivered bim- sel This good-natured sally brought down the house. When the tumult subsided the toast master called Gen. W. 8. Rosecrans, of California, to his feet to respond to the toast of “The Army and the Navy.” Gen. Rosecrans paid a high tribute to the flus- trious Irishmen who had shed glory upon the American arms. “The Land Leaguer was responded to very elo- quently by John W. Clampitt, of the Washington mar. Mr. Geo, C. Gorham, of the Republican, replied to the toast of “The Press,” and during his re- Marks referred very sarcastically to Minister Lowell action in the Hart case. | Hoe closed with an @ilusion to the fact that the Irish Immigration nee given to us the present President of the United ates, Hon. P. V. Deuster responded to the toast of “The Congress of the United States,” im one of the brightest speeches of the evening. At this point the usual course of proceedings was varied, Mr. John McAvoy being invited to sing and responding with an Irish love song,which he rendered very finely.

THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI FLOODS. THE INTERNATIONAL . SHOOTING MATCH. —> THE STAR ROUTE PROSECUTION, The Cook-Bliss Unpleasantness—What Col, Bliss Says About Col, Cook— What Col. Cook Says About Col. Bliss, A Star reporter asked Mr. W. A. Cook this morn- ing, “What have you to say about the interview with you In the Post of the 17th instant?” Mr. Cook.—“There was no formal interview with me, and I neither furnished nor uttered to any one anything intended for publication, except the fact that Thad tendered my resignation. The alleged- interview, while contalning some truth, is incor- Tect in some of Its statements. Imay, in proper time, furnish the public with all the facts, as T State In my letter that there are other facts besides those detatled in it.” CONCERNING MR. BLISS AND THE REPUBLICAN. ‘Mr. Cook’s attention was here called to the in- terview with Mr. Bliss, in the Post of this morn- ing. e The Colonel said: “Mr, Bliss errs in his state- ment as.to the purchase of the Republican, Ibis Ancorrect in some particulars. ‘There 1s no foun- dation for stating that I advised the purchase of the Republican, ahd It is not. probable, as you Will see further on, that I would have been con- sulted in the matter of the purchase of that paper, in wiilch T bad no intergst, and which itis made’ to appear Was sold to New York parties, But itis true that Mr. Bliss did state, earnestly and emphatically to me that he had purchased the Re- publican, but that I shoutd net tet it be known to Mr, Gibson or any one else. What T have said in regard to the payment of the purchase money was that tt 4s sald it Was paid by check on Mr. Bitss’ bank or the one In which he deposits in New York. Idid say that I regretted, n view of Mr. Bliss’ connec- tion with the Star route cases,that. ie had been en- aged in any way In’ the purchase of ne Republican trom’ Mr, Brady or an else; that I would not have, under any considera- tion, engaged in nogottating w.th any one involved in the alleged star Toate crimes.” THE PHILADELPHIA CASES. Mr, Bliss makes the statement that you promised immunity to parties in Philadelphia. Is this cor- rect?” Col. C.—*That assertion is untrue. The facts are that among the parties indivted in Philadelphia Were Messrs. Matthews and Biack, both of waom sustained the best of reputauons In ta Associated with them we ter and reputation. Col. Zz. of stunding in that city, was interested 9s friend of “the former, and in the absence of the Attorney General (Mr. McVeagh) and Mr. Buss and Mr. Brewster he (Col. Bo upon me with a reference Philips, the acting Attorney ter consultation ‘with him and—_ acting upon the reference 1t was pro nat the United States should be paid the amount ciaimed to have gh these parties (9,600), and T stated that I thought the offer was a just and fair one, and it would be for the best interests of tie government to accept the payment. This he rec- ommended in view of all the facts as presented to me, and Of the character of the parties, and [ sald I would not hesitite to recommend an adjustment of the criminal cases against them, but this rec- ommendation must be Subject to the action of Mr. Valentine, the U.S. attorney at Philadelphia. This ‘Was what'I recommended,and I would do so under the same circumstances at any time. ‘This is whet Mr. Bliss as seen fit to pervert into granting munity. “Mr. Bliss states that you did this without con- sultation with him.” Mr. Cook.—“I was not aware until I saw Mr. Bliss’ interview that al connection: ch cases delphia. I only advised in this case because Col, Boyer came to me with a special reference Of the caso from the acting Attorney General, and in the absence of ali the others.” G “Col, Bliss states that your action was over- ru Mr. Cook.— As there 1s no truth in the state- ment that I granted linmunity, there could be no overruling of any action taken'by me. ‘The Attor- ney General, a8 he had the right to do, although the money Was paid by Messrs. Black snd Mat- thews, directed that the prosecution should go on. Ihave never received a rebuke from the Attorney Generfil. On the contrary, the relations between the Attorney General and myself have been of the roost cordial kind, and my voluntary retire- ment will not affect these relations.” ‘THE CASES IN WHICH MR. COOK WAS NOT CONSULTED. Referring to Mr. Bliss’ statement thathe had not advised with himin some cases, and didso after consultation with the Attorney General, Mr. Cook sald that that was scarcely consistent with the statement that Mr. Bilss had not done anything to freeze him out of the cases. Mr. Bliss had told the Attorney General that it would not be proper, be- cause of his (Mr. Cook's) past relations to Boone, to allow hi know that tt was the Intention to arrest Boone and others, “and,” sald. Mr, Cook, “it was not until after those cases were instituted that I was informed of the fact in a letter from Mr. Bliss, dated January Sth, 168%, in which he had the audacity to state that Twas at liberty to assume elther position that Ichose; that I knew nothing about it or that I knew ail about it—that is hegave me the liberty of lying or telling the truth. Tat once called on the Attorney General and sald to him in substance that I had not yet sunk so low personally or pro- Tessionally as to accept from Mr. Bliss, or any one else, the privilege | of violiting my own conscience, and disregarding the. truth. Ina letter dated January 6th I stated that I was not aware of any relations between myself and Mr. Boone or any others who may be Involved in the star route cases to prevent tho first consulta- tion with me, and the most active co- operation on 'my part in the prosecution. I'stated the same to the Attorney General. In refutation of Mr. Bliss’ statement to the Attor- ney General, I aterwards appeared in the cases, rendered all the assistance that was required of me. What Mr. Bliss would call this I do not know. ‘To others it would look like a ‘(reezing out’ pro- cess, arttully gotten up without any facts to Sus- in'tt.” ‘MR. COOK AND THE GRAND JURY. Mr. Cook, continuing, safd that if he had left the cases when they were before the grand jury, It would have been thought, to the prejudice of the cases, that there was nothing in them. If there were any irregular or unauthor- methods used "before the grand jury it was done without his knowledge. Fr. Cook sal, without any consultation, Mr. Bliss had determiné4d to press the cases against what he called the Dorsey routes and Boone combin:tion. He seemed to be absorbed with these cases, and to have littie disposition, and no time or opportunity in the outset to take up others. Mr. Bliss was accustomed to refer to them as the “ehtet devils,” and acted as respects Brady and Dorsey as if more than professiou:l considerations influenced him. It was not true that he Mr. Cook) did not know the names of witnesses. he papers which were used by Mr. Biss in procuring the indictments were nearly all rocured before he was retained in the case. Nearly an that he did was the result of looking up and using the labors of others. Mr. Cook said he had been connected professionally with many emi- nent lawyers at different times, but_ this was the first time’tn his life that there had been a failure to have free consultatiSn and conference. Mr. Cook, after referring to his practical tirement from the case since the death of President Garfield, sald he could not con- sclentiously remain in them when Were conducied in disregard of his wishes. There were other reasons that infh his he satd, but they can be re- ‘The Zuni ans nt the White House. ‘The Zuni Indians, or the cliff dwellers of west- ern New Mexico, called upon the President this afternoon, accompenied by Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Cushing.

Laveran on the condition of the ing, which appear to throw much light on the causes and cure of such affections. The blood of 192 patients affected with intermittent fever or other paludal diseases was examined, and in 180 cases there were found floating in it minute organisms of two kinds, one crescent 1 motionless, containing a black mass of pig- ment in the center, and the other spherical, with moving filaments attached to it, and containing a little circle of dark pigment grains, sometimes moving and at other times qniescent. No eimi- | lar or; mld be discovered in the blood of healthy individuals at any time, and in the persons affected they appeared to be present only at certain periods, just before and during the accessions of fever. A ‘y small addition sulphate of quinine jood destroyed the diatoms at once, and u the influence of a quinine treatment they rapidly disappeared from the circulat . The liver and spleen seemed to present particalarly favorable conditions for the development of the animalcule, and It is con- Jectured that in the remissions of the fever he f may collect there, to enter again into the blo at the expiration of a given interval. After death from malarial disease the small vessels of these organs, and in a less degree the remainder of the circulatory system, were found to be in- vaded by myriads of pigment grains, prob set free *, the dissoiution of the more perisha- ble organisms which enclosed them, and in the severer cases the number was so great that the very marrow of the bones and substance of the brain was darkened by them. meaner apenas Gen.
