CLASS DISTINCTIONS IN EUROPRAN DRESS—INDIVIDU- ALITY OF ENGLISH WOMEN'S DRESS—THE INFLU- ENOS OF TRAVEL UPON QUESTIONS OF FasHroN— BENNING THE GAUNTLET OF THE CUSTOM-HOUSR. Frow Our Own Correspondent. New Yor, August 31, 1888. American women are accustomed to being called The best dressed women im the world; and, ina gortaia Way and to a certain extent, thisis correct. ‘They have more mouey and more leisure than the Women of any other country in the world, more freedom tn the use of both, and not being so much hampered by circumstances and traditions, they ean draw from all sources and collect tn the sum Votal of thetr dress something of all other women's Dest. In other countries—though there is no longer In “society” the distinction and division created by purely national costumme—there are differences Quite percep:tbie to trained eyes which show both te tuftueuoe of temperament and the controlling Bature of circumstance. The German women, for exampic, have an exquisite perception of color.” They excel ‘in’ color "combina tion. They produce the loveliest embrot- im colors “upon lumens and. other fabrics for household uses; but they do mot put it into weir dress, that is, thers ts nothing of ft seen im the ordinary dress of the masses. There are two Teasons for this; one 1s their poverty, the other a Pubite opinion” whicy condemns ‘the | working Woman if she shows any evidence of willingness W attract atwention by the gayety of her attire. she Is avove the rank of the peasant and must seen upon the street or in pubils In her efforts Wearn her daily bread, her dress must be black,or absolutely neutral, to "preserve herself from fe- mark, or at least from the inference that ‘she Was frivolous. The working women of France are Bound very inuch in the some way, but they have iiired more pecuniary independence; they cone almost ail the retall business of the country and if they lad the taste for which they recel¥e Uhe credit’ would have worked out beausirul ieas But at tais moment, France is very much like America, it receives iis ideas second hand, and only ttaposes certain sumptuary laws through the Wiekedness of its men, who pursuo whatever. 18 made attractive to thelr eyes and tmaginations Yn Rogland i is diferent, Englishwomen are a type by themselves; and ‘with the energy of the Saxon and the tenacity of the Briton, originate ldeas and create condiiions which iniiueace the Fest of the world. ‘The Auierican woman is French and English when she is not wholly Irish or Ger- wan; while the American woman 1s French and Geruian, and in her independence and activity is & coustant reminder of the Ainerican. BUT THE AMERICAN WOMAN has a Uteie of them all in uer dress. She uses lace Like the Austrian, a practical walkinz-tress like the English woman, ail the draperies and caprices ©f the French demi-monde, blends colors like an Oriental, and loves fur like a Russian. Sooner or later, moreover, she gratifies her tastes. ‘The girl Who dreameddreams ia a cottou sun bonnet weurs ix tuousand dollars’ worth of lace in a London drawing-room, where, ay an American, she is the equivalent of 4 duchess. The woman Who spent half her life cooking upon a rickety stove and ‘Washing flannel shirts ina log cabin, is a serene old lady im her later years, who takes’ her nieces to Europe and wears sealskin coats and India shaWwis worth a small fortune, The amount of European travel has an enormous influence upon the whole question of the dress and clothing of American women, but not precisely in the way Which inight have been expected. The few merely “society” Women—a very sinall. proportion of the Whole aumber—who “rin over” and return every other seusou, doubtless watch the advent Of some new’ Iittie twist or trick of fash- Yon; they would do the same at home. But the majority find with surprise much Jess “fashion” abroad than at home; that 1s Jess stress put upon it, less of change in the detail Of form aud fnisi, and more value put upon per- Manent qualities, beautiful work, real lace, solid fabrics and unadulterated materials They are astonished toflad themselves returning from Lou- don and Parts with few new ideas in regard to bon= hets or ways of Wearing their hair, but with one coveted shawl or long cloak, a set of real lace, an embroidered costume, of one of Diack silk zeposing safely in their biggest trunk. Insensivly tuey ace quire a new idea of what constitutes value 1a thelr Clothes, and they will never again, as jong as they live, give quite 50 much importaice to the little freaks and vagaries, to change in the cut of the sleeve or the length ‘of the drapery, and they will see the mauifest impropriety of using the same fussy desixcn for a practical cotton or woolen gown Which they are told Is the “latest thing,” for Mrs. Langtry on the stage, or Mrs anybody else in a ali roum, AT THE CUSTOM-HOUSE. Before closing this slight preamble, 1t may not De out of place to dissipate, for some American Women, the lurid ight which hangs about te New York custom-house.

Joseph W. Gavan in the Journalist. Ithas been ofttimes said, and the saying has one uncontradicted, that the great majority of our MWterary Women acquire that valuable acquisition, “talent,” at the price ot feminine charm.

You have simply two things to confess. ‘These are that you have not been one whit en- Mghtened, ‘and the scientists bave never yet Drought forward rational reasons for the strange and mighty action of the ocean currents and coast Udes at particular places. ‘The moon does this; the sun does that; the rotation of the eurth does some other thing; and while they have revealed @ good reason {or wantof a better reason for along- suore regularity of general tide action, they have not fathomed, Or they cannot tell, any satistying cause for such tremendous phenomena as occur right here, and in Bristol Channel, England, where & thousand estuaries and bays exist, when, according to thelr logic,equally majestic movements of the sea landward should occur. Nor have Ling stated these Phenomena correctly. The Bristol channel tides are sald by these men to rise “from 40 to 50 feet.” ‘That 18 not true. I have repeatedly Witnessed the ebb and flow of the Bristol Channel tide at Avon- ‘mouth, just below Bristol, where the tide reaches the highest elevation, Its greatest difference be- tween regular low ‘and high water 1s 37 feet.

Gen, Butler on Cleveland. HIS VIRWS OF THE PRESIDENT'S TARIFF POLICY AND FISHERY MESSAGE In response to the requests of a large number of business men of Massachusetts, Gen, B, ¥. Butler last evening addressed a large audience in Tre- mont Temple upon the tariff and Msherles ques- tons, Theoretically, he sald, free trade between ail nations, as between all men, is correct in prin- ciple; that is, if all nations in all things were exactly on the same footing. But such conditions of equality cannot exist among nations, and, thereiore, all theories uy the questions of free hessage: "it 13 not proposed toentively reve the message: not en country Of this: earitly taxation. It must be ex- tenslvely continued as a sourceot income; and in the adjustment of our tariffs the interests of American labor engaged in manufactures should be carefully considered, as well as the preservation, of our manufactures.” “1 therefore,” sald Gen. Butler, sido as against free trade; but i the same time, that the President seems to ai w get as near being a tree trader as hecan. it I Cake his words, he exactly agrees with me tariff with Incidental protection, From bis message I learn th: be- Neve in tue beneficent rules of protection; but I do believe that if he had observed and known as 1 know how much @ protective tariff has done for American workingmen that message would never have been penned. It 18 not bis fault, but the laboring man’s misfortune, that he did not know ‘the facts.” WAT THE COUNTRY OWES TO THE PROTECTION POLICY. ‘The speaker declared his opinion that during the late war we owed to the effects of the protective tariff the means which upheld the unity of our people, the consolidation of our Government, the glory of our achievements and the military power of our country, and added: “Is it not a matter of Temark Lhat the attempted destruction of our pro- Lective system comes from those who did not de- fend the life of the country in that War, and the majority of whom mourn the ‘cause’ which the protective tariff caused to be ‘lost’ to them? The last annual message of the President was unlike any ever coming trom such a bigh officer. It 18 the only message of a President that deals only with a single topic and a single law—the law of tariff—and recommends its destruction sumply.” GEN, BUTLER ATTACKED THE MILLS BILL, and said the question now plainly berore the people 1s, which wiil che people of this country sustain ip carrying On Our business—the system of the fathers, under which we so greatly praspered, or will they adopta new experiment, which shall put every Mnancial and industrial question upon a new basis, and introduce a change in the indus trles of the farm, the mill,” and the workshop? and that, too, updn a plan bo prepared as to ex- actly sult our commercial rival and enemy, Ea- gland, and i has been gotten up and pre- sented to y men who @ very short time ago were our bitter enemies, and whose acts now leave us with @ great element of uncertainty 1a their minds whether they have repented of tneir en- mity, and whether they are not preparing a means for the overthrow of the country, which the pro- tective tariff defeated them in doing betore.. “I by nO means make such an accusation, but I do know that it is a thought which comes to the mind of every map Who fought the batues of the Union and believed fully In the principles for when we a ‘THE FISHERIES QUESTION. Gen, Butler then turned to the fisheries ques- tion, touching upon various treaties that has been in force between the United States and Great Britain. He sald: “I agree with the President that Une bill giving him power of retaliation ‘was a poor bill, unworthy of the dignity of the United ‘Staves Government, and if he had vetoed it on unis ground I should have been quite inclined to sup- port him. My fault with the Dill is that it cop. tains enactments in regard to vessels and of Canadians in the British dominion of orth America out of our ports, When we learn ur vessels are Kept out ot port, pray wis dete ces Our vessels are kept out ‘wby United States take the buil by'the -horus—even if his name is John—and give the President the power tnd right, whenever he finds that single vesoci, where, unlawfully, the United States every British vessel, however great, until that wrong shall be redressear Retail ate the wrong done to fishermen by Canadians by against the Cunard steamships cers | uD- der the ensign of the British goverament, and tue thing will be brought to an end. ‘The first ques- tion that springs Co ip is is the President in earn est?
