bacon and greens. Poole himself, the arbiter elegantiarium of Europe, threw almost imme- diately the idea aside. Prince Arthur and his suite have, however, fixed the question. Not even the glitter of their buttons could conceal the pallor of their visages when the would-be Brammells discovered that those quiet, un- assuming gentlemen ignored the brass button heresy. Drees Fashions in Earope—American Boauty Abroad. . Our special fashions report, published to- day, describes the latest styles of dress ‘costume which -prevailed in the Old World centres of aristocracy, refined taste, costly clothing, court etiquette and Church consola- tion during the last days of January. It tells of Paris and Rome; their enjoyments and those who participated in them. ‘The commu- nication is piquant, accurate 4nd comprehen- sive. The ball season was duly inaugurated in Paris by the Ministerial receptions of the Cabinct Ministers, the new Prefect, M. Chevreau, leading off with a fine entertain- ment, the éclat of which was ably and diligently sustained by his coadjutors in the Ministry subsequently, The ladies will be interested considerably in the spicy gossip detail of the manner in which Premier Ollivier chose his wife, a lucky little girl just from school, who was recruiting her health at a fashionable watering place. The Empress Eugénie begins, as will be seen, to acknow- ledge the effect of years, but remains elegant ond beautiful in person ‘as she ig kind and gentle in manner. Conti- nental aristocracy enjoyed a splendid sweep in the salone near to the Tuileries. We feel proud to chronicle the fact that American beauty and transatlantic grace from this side of the ocean were in their native simplicity, and, by contrast with royalty, unadornment fully acknowledged both as a refreshing and refining clement, even near to and around the most powerful throne in the worid. There was a jovial party of American doctors in Paris. The writer mentions them. Then we have & few words, perhaps appropriately after the surgeons, about Traupmann’s head, being thus again reminded that ‘‘man’s a phenomenon” after all, and that earthly beauty is mortal, although it may come very near to divinity for a moment. The Troubles of the Mormons, Schisms hostile to the ‘“‘one man power” of Brigham Young are breaking out in Salt Lake «City. These hostile factions attempted the other evening to getup a city ticket in opposition to the orthodox ticket ; but the place appointed for the meeting was packed by the faithful to- such an extent that the heretics were crowded out, and they were served the same way ina second attempt. But still the schismatics are increasing, while the Gentiles are squatting and prospecting all over Utah, and from tke Pacific Railroad they are still coming by every train, . The mass meeting of the Mormon women in behalf of polygamy was a shrowd device of the Prophet, but it was a miserable mockery ; and his close corporation system of Mormon co-operative stores will not serve to keep out the cheaper goods of the Gentiles. The harems of the Prophet, of his twelve apostles and of his seventy elders, they must all know by this time, cannot much longer be maintained in Utah, The railroad has created a spirit of mutiny within and a feeling of curi- osity and hostility without that may, ona very short notice, result in unroofing and liberating the birds. The Rocky Mountain trappers and miners, and, more than all, the camps of reckless ad- venturers along the Pacific Railway, men and women, will only need a convenient pretext for the cicaning out of Brigham’s seraglio by and by, Cullom’s bill introduced into Congress, ‘with its sweeping pains and penalties of out- lawry, fines and imprisonments against Mor- mon concubinage, bigamy, or polygamy, or spiritual wifery, or by whatever name it may be called, should be taken by the Mormon ruler as a hint of what is coming. The alter- native before him is either to abolish polygamy or to evycuate Utah; and from present in- dications at Washington before the expiration of six months he will be called upon in the presence of a Territorial military commander to take his choice. Congress having abolished “the twin relic of barbarism,” negro slavery, and having reconstructed the late slave States, the turn for that other “twin relic,” polyg- amy, has now come, and the turn of Utah for -reconstruction. The responsibility is upon Congress, and the two houses are in the proper frame of mind for the work, for both are moving io it. Tax ParacuayaN War.—The Emperor of Brazil exhibits a degree of obstinacy in his persecution of Lopez not altogether in keeping with the view of his Ministers. Count D'Eu, his man Friday, upholds the views of his august master. Dom Pedro religiously wishes that Lopez was in his grave, and in order that he might have the satisfaction of knowing that the Paraguayan chief was put under the sod he has employed D’Eu to be the chief under- taker. For over four years has his Imperial Majesty of Brazil endeavored to use up, drive away or annihilate Lopez, and bas most sig- nally failed. These exertions e drained the Brazilian treasury, spread discontent among the people and demoralized the min- istry, The Emperor cannot see all this, Lopez has been too much for him. This bas mad- dened him to such a degree that he would not now, if he could, make an honorable peace, sotwithstanding that his subjects desire it. Such are the beauties of personal government.

It is this case TELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM which bas called forth the judgment. The| ALJ, PARTS OF THE WORLD latest judgment, that of Judge McCunn, over- rales the judgment of Judge Ingraham. It is an interesting question and not at all unde- serving of attention, The Prese on the New Obarter. There is no scarcity of advice. Every paper in the city seems to know exactly what is wanted to make our city government perfect, and no two agree as to what our real necessi- ties are. Nothing can be more dissimilar than the programmes sketched out by the several papers. As it is not possible to enact all their plans—as it is not even possible to know which is the best—we still incline to favor the enactment of the Charter that is now pro- jected in the Legislature. We do not believe, however, that this is a perfect Charter. We do not believe it is the bost Charter that moderately honest and capable mon could make. But we are sure that it cannot make our city government any worse than it is, and we are reasonably certain that it will make it agreat deal better, It seems also to be tho only change that it is possible to get just now. For these reasons, therefore—because we can get this Charter, and because it may make our government better than it is— we favor it rather than any one of the thousand impractical projects of improvement that may be conjured up in every brain, but that can never become law. Moreover, there are some positive points of advantage in Mr. Frear’s bill. It gives a definite responsibility and a political machinery that will fill the Board of Aldermen with respectable men. it fails the democratic party will be to blame for the failure, and the people will hold them to their accountability. In the enormous cant and clamor about honesty made by the répub- lican press it must not be forgotten that it was under republican administration that the terri- ble abuses we suffer from were foisted upon us, We do not believe the democrats will do worse, and if they do as badly the people will not forget it. Weare in favor of the Charter be- fore the Legislature because it is a change, but we would not object to any pruning that would not change ita main principle of giving the government of this city to the people that live here. Cortgcring Taxgs on Long Istanp.— People must resist abuse of authority, and so furnish cases for the courts to decide. There is no other plan to get at the right. We are glad to see, therefore, that some citizens on Long Island have commenced suit against tax collectors for transcending their powers. In one case it is charged tiat the collector, in levying for the satisfaction of a tax of fifty dollars, seized five thousand dollars’ worth of property. Judges in such cases will presume somewhat ‘in favor of the collector, as he goes at least in the name of the law; but between fifty dollars and five thousand there is plenty of room for such presumption, and for punish- ing also an unwarrantable and oppressive act.

TMi HERALD MARINE NEWS FLEET, Description of the New Steamer Herald— ‘Meritorious Points of Construction. {From the New York Times, Feb. 12,] The new steamer Herald has certain principles in- troduced 1m her mouel which will render an account of her dimensions and construction, as well as the Tesults of the trials, which took place a jew days since, unusually foteresting to those familiar with the science of naval architecture, The vessel was designed and modelled by Isaac Newton. She was constructed with the view of attaining bigh specd under steam, without impairing the accommodations or sea-going qualities. ‘The following are tne chief particulars and dimen- sions of the hull and machinery;—The hull is of wood, copper fastened; the planking, inside ceiling and keelsons are of Georgia pine. The length between perpendiculars 18 95 feet 2 inches; the breadth of beam extreme 18 15 feet 1044 inches, and tne deptn of hold amidships is eight feet two inches. ‘ihe general appearance of the vessel is unusually symmetrical, and although the lines are very fine, the weights are so skilfully adjusted in relation to the displacement that not only is steam machinery of large power for the hull easily carried, but the cabin and other accommoda- tions are unusually commodious for a steamer of this character. ‘The model was planned on the theory that the re- sistance to a plane suriace moving through a fluid 13 m proportion to the size of the angle which the surface presents to the direction of motion, and also that a fluid is 1orced away irom such a pial direction perpendicular to it, This, of cow not take into account the frictional resistance, which varies according to the extent and the smooth- ness of the immersed portion of the hull. ‘The engine is of the form known as tue “inverted cylinder” type. The cviinder is nineteen wches in diamever and the Jength of the stroke seventeen inches, ‘he cranks and shafts are of wrought iron, the cranks bored out and keyed onthe shaits, the crank pin being made of cast steel. The valve gear con- sists of a ‘link’: movement constructed with certain pecultariuies and with an independent “cut off” ad- Justable at will while the cngine is in motion. The condensation of the steam is effected by a surface condenser, 80 arranged that the exhaust steam is condensed and pumped back again iio the boiler m the form of fresh waver. The cooling water is circulated through this condenser by means of an independent pump, which 1s double acting, the piston being nine inches in diameter and the stroke ilfteen inches, ‘The botler 1s of the horizontal tubular type, with the tubes returning above the furnaces. It concains about gud square feet of heating surface. It 18 constructed and stayed for a working pressure of ninety-five ounds to the square inch. ‘Lue screw propeller has lour biades. Its diamete: 5 feet 10 inches and the terminal! pitch 11 teet 6 inches; the angle formed by the blades decreases from the @xis to the circum: ference im the proportion which experiment teaches will produce cae maximum propelling eilictency. On the trial @ speed of twelve knots, or nearly fourteen siatuce miles, was easily mamlaned. This spead was ascertained by running over a knowa dis- tani ‘The numoer of revolutions of the screw was 131 per minute; pressure of steam on the boiler, seventy-four »ownds per square and the cut-of ‘Was so adjusted Uhat the mean pressure on the piston was forty-five pounds. Hence 136 horse power was developed by the engine, Now, in order to torm an accurate estimate of the relative exceilence of tue model, itis simply neces- sary to Compare the power exerved with the speed attamed, inis is done by tke ordinary rule, whicn consists of multipiying the area, in square feet, of the greatest immersed section by the cuve of the speed, aod dividing tis amount by the horses power the resuit 18 a number which gives the relative excellence of the model. As the immersed section of the Heraid {8 sixty square feet, the speed twelve knots and tne ower 135 horses, the number {1s 767. It is believed that this is the highest number on record for a vessel of the Herald's small dimensions, and 1t proves the accuracy of the principles on which the modet was designed. But twelve kuots 1s by no means the maximum speed attainable, This speed Was accompilsbed betore the jouruais of the engine and screw had worn themselves to a proper bearing. As the boiler possesses ample steam generating power to maintain @ steam pressure of at least ninety pounds to the square inch, with the ‘cut off" at such @ polut as to keep up over seventy pounds mean preasure on the piston, there can be no douvt | that @ speed of considerably over thirteen knois | (nearly fiiveen statute miles) can be kept up, ave. locity rarely exceeded by the largest Ocean steamers. | Tho triala were witnessed by General Mcul C.

Sealed papers were opened, when it was found that Canada was disposed to do justice to the Red River men; also that communication with the home government being dimculc Mr. Smith was to act in accordance with his own private judgment. Mr. Simth bemg ad- mitted to a hearing confirmed the tmpression that the Canadian government was dis; to grant them all the privileges accorded to any of the citizens.

A letter from General Harney, of Kansas, to Gen- eral Schofleld, dated February 6, say: Bands of hostile Indians are again roaming off a little to the wost of our frontier settlements, which are now at the mercy of the miscreants. Will yon please send some troops to the frontiers and urge upon the President tho adoption of the Indian policy we talked of lust sum- mer, namely, of forcing them to dismount and dis- arm upon their reservations and holding them there by mulltary power?

The Dauntless and the Cambria. (From Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times.) We bh @ letter from London which states that the ocean match agreed upon between Mr. Bennett Sud Mr. Ashbury, to sail we Dauntless and the Cam- bria irom the Old Head of Kinsale to New York, bas given rise to much discussion and speculation amoung yachtmen, Especially is this the case at Cowes, where the captains and crews of the yachts congregate in the winter, and form the largest por- ton of ite population at thus time of year, an opinion Prevalis that if the wind should be fair, or (ree, the Dauntless will win the race; but that if head winds should be encountered the result would be different. We are also informed that some surprise is ex pressed because Mr. Bonnett chose a tine of year when westerly winds commonly prevail. as we understand the matter, ho did mot choose that time of year, but was ready to make the match for any time of year. But perhaps those who have been & good deal on board of tho Dauntless are about ad good judges of her weatherly qualities as sume woo bave seen bus lite of ner under canvass, and others who have only looked at her us she lay at anchor in the roads. Mr. beunett himself has hav great experience tn yachting and in regular naval aduirs. He commanded the Heurietta for the government, as a voiuntecr, in the war, and his duties were so discharged as Lo make hits skill and enterprise manifest. Besides, he has bad some of the most able, experienced and sagactous nautical Men in the world to couasel with, and we have great confidence that a correct judgment was come to, and that we sball dnd the Dauntiess @ staunch, weatheriy yachi.

We are sorry to hear that some ill teeliing prevails in Engiand in regard to Mr. Ashbury. We are told vat many Engitsh yacutmen think and say tuat he made the match to render nimself promineat and catch popularity, and they hope the Canvria will be deteated. Now, if they reaily hope ‘Vhs, tuey ought to be ashamed of themselves, Ail England has had a subsequent chance to make a similar matca with the Sappno, and no one has doue i.
