4 PARIS FASHIONS. The Economy Council in Dress Material—How the Nationalities Were Represented—Ideas from Spain and Italy, with a Few from Britain—Paniers and Their Origin= Ribbons, Fringes and Flounces— Dress Materials of the Season as Peremptorily Voted—What the Ladies Gossip About. PARIS, March 16, 1870. On ¢onciuding my last fashions correspondence I announced tuat l would give your readera my im- pressions on the opening of the Economic Councll, but the members assembled gave me no time to have any. No sooner had the faint scent of our Sovereign’s essence got dispersed in the atmosphere of the chamber than the French aid-de-camp @x- Claimed, “Vive the styles of the constitution!” I responded a requiescat in pace for the 1mperial ones, abd a powerful de profundis rose from the whole crowd of deputies, “In this moment of universal fluctuation,’ said the British aid-de-camp, standing Up on & stool and looking at us just as dissenting nunisters do on Sunday afternoons at Hyde Park, “I gay that it was unwise to deliver the fashions from the tribune before Easter." “Begging the honorable orator’s pardon,” replied the member for the colonies, I am not of hs opinion, crepe de caine 18 ® wavering, soft, undecided niaierial which is the rage of this spring, and quite appropriate under present political circumstances, 181s be worn as tunics over fatlle by day and ‘ditto over tulle by night.” Meanwhile crepe de chine and the constitution have the same go-between ten- @encies. “And there is the centre,” said the Prus- plan omicial, trying to smooth down his bristiing mustachios; ‘‘was ever this part of the female body Made so conspicuous, so bumptious? It reminds me of that fraction of the French Assembly at the Palals Bourbon.” “Gentlemen,” said the Lord Coancellor, “we are not cailed together tocomment, but to adopt any and every measure advocated oy our ruler, ‘We should endeavor to find out wisdom in all her decrees,”’ “Then,” continued the Russian Ambassador, who is very fond of ballet dancers, “can any one point out the wisdom of trans?” 7 “1 will remind the honorable orator,” answered the member for the parts of the East, “that the daughters of Louis LX. had them put tn fashion to hide their stumpy legs and paddle feet.’ Tne Rus- Blan dignitary turned round and looked on the Speaker with an expression of respectful admiration, *‘And what 1s the wisdom of low boaices!” asked a Spanish priest who had come to the meeting for Queen Isabella and the Concelie, “Catherine de Medicis was the first to have this style introduced at the French court, for ner neck and shoulders were modeis of perfection,” answered the Italian member, ‘Nearly all the Spanish imasiers nave copied busis for their virgins trom moulds taken from this celeprated Queen.” it was Tow the priest’s turn to look on the speuker with un- Teignea surprise, “so tar, so good,” said the British member, get- ting peevish; “bat how about our rufs ana stucking- up coliars of musiin “My good sir.’ replied the man standing near hur, “do you not Know that Queen Elizabeta bad @ lideous turoat, and that under Heary LI. of France King’s evil was So prevalent that uothing but bigh ruils could hide the ravages of this disease on tne necks of lords and ladies 1’ An oath positively escaped from the ilps of the durried questioner, “and paniers. What can be said to exonerate this immodest contrivance?” inquired a shrill voice, Toat of our shyest, biushiest orator, who means te conquer her timidity and speak from the tribune this season. “They were called vertugading under Francis I,” answered one of the medical facuiy (che member ‘Who maintains ceinture corsew), “and were in- teuded vo dissimulate by extraordinary protube- Trance bebind all excessive rotundity in front.’? “Ou!” escaped irom maby of tue present powers of speech, and during this universal exclamation our shy orator scrambied down from the chair on which he baa jumped mn a fit of bold oratory. “Enougd reirospection,” put in the Lord Chan- ceilor; “itis time to confine ourselves to tue order of tue aay before us”? “Our sovereign said nothing about ribbons,” op- served a young maa, studiously taking noves. The Chancellor pat up nis eyeglass and ran down the core, of which he had a copy before him, then Shook nis head. Ribbons were not down—crepe ae chine on hats, friuges, flowers and no ribbons, “Who will suggest this lapsus to Fashion?” asked the British memper, with all the ripbon factories of England rising in a Vision of strikes before nim, “We are to uave veivel ribbons after Easter, an: plenty ali through summer for every trimming pur- poue,” suid @ secretary of the United States Lega- lion, and velvet will, ad. ever, be much worn in fr: zed bandeanx, for bows, &c. Should the heaadress @ ia Fontange be seconded there is a good thing to be made out of velvet ribbon. “And what is that?’ asked @ North Briton. “Lshould say 1618 & Keaddress which iilustrates decadence from its very origin. fhe Duchess of Fontanges,” continued the informant—who a a court preacher—"was out hunting one day with the Kaug Louis XLV., and suddenly, im the eagerness of tne chase, lost her hat, which blew off and all ner hair teil down uer back, ‘the King ventured to aasist his young and lovely mistress; but she, fading provably that he made bad worse, a thing he olten ‘id, Witoout the slightest nesitation lifted up her Tidiag skirt and pulled off ner garter.” “Her garter?’ vituperated the Scoten, Bnitiah and colonial members in one voice. ‘Yes, girs,” con- Unued the moraiist, severely, ‘and with this liga- ment tied ber has on again. When she luted ber face up to the King, witn all the natural wicked- ‘bess 01 her eye, increased by the crazy roguishness of her headpiece, he was completely bewliderea with her beauty and stood struck ofa heap; but she burst into @ fit of laughter, showing thereby all her pearly teeth and scampered olf tothe OtRersagain. Acry of admiration welcomed ger, and from that day every womuno wore a Fontange, until this headdress at- tained grotesque proportions of ribbon and bow, and then it died out, as did the Duchess. She was buried ac the age of twenty. What a moral! what a lesson, sirs.'?

After all this woridiiness I resume my theologi- cal and philosophical studies, as much of these called forth in bigh jite at present. I see that the Bisuop of Poitters, however, says it is profane of all engaged in social life to mix in the atfaira of the Church—to propose alterations or resolutions. In. fact, he says it is sinfui of us, and compares it to the crime ot the Israelite who touched the sacred ark and was punished by sudden death on the spot. He does not see the wisdom of those times and the wisdom of our own in parallel, and thinks there a) quieter and more innocent professions for peo) immersed in light literature than systematic cri! oism on councils. Well, there may be; but the sishop of Poltiera should have said what we ought to do in Lent if not study the Church. As for any quiet profession, I do Not see the slightest objection; but the Bishop does not recommend one. The ouly thing of the kina would perhaps be to puint signboards for quiet peo- ple, such as leeches in # glass bottle for chemists, Or some other such culsiens occupation. Among religious subjects I must not forget that a Paper called the Preacher has proposed to take in ment for a yearly subscription the coins, here oted, bearing the effigy of the Pope. It is very kind of the editors, for cabmen and grocers will not have any! todo with them; but there are no subscribers to oe found for the well-meaning paper 1m high life. WHAT THE LADIES SAY.

Geod Friday as a Holiday, To THs EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— As there ts rather @ scarcity of holidays with us, especially uring the seasons of the year when the weather 18 good, I think steps should be taken to get the bankers and merchants to close their ofiges on Good Friday, the 15th April. This day is observed ag @ general holidaygin England and Scotland, and I don’t see why it should not be set aside for a similar Purpose on this side of the Atlantic. There 13 an- other point in connection with holidays to which I should like to draw attention, That is the a offices open till four lay. I do mot think that there is the slightest occasion for the continuance of this custom, as little or no business is done after one or two o'clock. It would, indeed, be a great boon to those bet ld in the country—to every one, in fact—were their places of business to close at one or twoo’clock. In Kurope the public oMces are shut by twelve or one o’clock, and there the Saturday after- noon is much appreciated, as is evidenced by the numbers who hurry olf to the public parks and watering places. G ian Methodist Conference—The German Language in the Public Schools Advocated— Tobacco Anathematized. ‘The third session of the annual Eastern Confer- ence of the German Methodists was opened yester- qi t nine o'clock A. M.,at the German Metho- dist church, in Fortieth street, near Ninth avenue, Bishop Ames, of Baltimore, pre- siding. The first business im order was the reports of examining committees and of pre- siding elaers on applications for deacon’s and elder’s orders. All these reports, except one, were favorable, and the applicants passed; but in this one case Rey. Mr. Freund stated, on behalf of the examiners, that in matters of doctrine the applicant aid well; that in grammar he had committed to memory the questions aud answers of the book, but he had NOT SUFFICIENT CAPACITY to comprenend the philosophy and character of grammatical rules; and that the written composi- tion which the applicant supmitced was very good, but not bis own, as it was found to be @ literal copy of a portion of Dr. Jacobi’s translation of a work by Dy. Pinney, Some conversation ensued, after which it was voted to contyue Brother Flabt, the appli- cans, on ériai for ani ir year. THE REPORT ON EDUCATION, signed by Reva. J. C. Deininger, J. F. Branow and J. Kindler, was next read. It opened by asserting ‘the duty ofthe Cnurch to make arfungements for the intellectual and spiritual development of those growing up in ner midst, and also to train her {uture ministers and teachers in such @ manner that they shall be able to stem the tide of ever-increasing ravionalism and materialism. The Wallace Insti- tate at Beret, Ohio, near Cleveland, was referred to as in a fodrBhing condition in regard to educational results. In @ financial view more money was needed—at least $25,000. The report closed with recommendiag the establishment of @ parochial school in connection with Methodist churches, wherever practicable. A JEWISH METHODIST. Rev. Professor Loepenstein, a convert from Jnda- ism to the tollowers of Wesley, obtained the floor, and spoke warmly and forcibly, in German, in favor Of @ speedy succor to this institute, where for years he had been Professor of Methodist Theology. He hoped the members would send thetr puptis to Berea, but only such as had brains in the head and religion in their hearts, : THE QUESTION OF LAY DELEGATES, which has so long-agitated the MetQodist Caurch in 9 APRIL 9, 1870.—TRIPLE this country, came up asthe special order, It was voted to dispose of it by ballot and without debate. ‘Twenty-two voles were cast against tae admission of lay delegates to the conferences and but seven for tt, At aii aghast epsi¢ a3 the place fo meet OP the fonrerenee next year. three addi- tional “Restrictive Kules,” proposed by the last An- nual Conference, at Baltimore, in March, 1870, came Up for disposal. ‘These rules are that the General Conference shall not extend the ume of pastoral service beyond the present limit, norchange tne pre- sent constitution and composition of the Annual Conferences—whica exclude iaymen—and shall not Testrict the present authority of the bishops, ‘They were all passed with few dissenting votes. PAROCHIAL AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THE GERMAN LANGUAGE. The report on education being taken up some re- marks were made by Bishop Ames in opposition to denominational schools for general education as against the public system. Kev, Mr. Freund was sorry to see his American friends desirous of deteat- ng the introduction of tne German language into the public schools, If this was accomplished the Ger- mans had no interest to send cheir children to paro- Chial schools, and these sectarian schools, where for- eign ideas preval!, would !ose their aupport, whe the public school, nursery of truly American ideas, whether taught in English or German, would be- come more firmly rooted. Bishop Ames expressed hig assent to these views, as he was not opposed to seeing the German language introduced where the character and number of population justified it, The comanttee witharew the recommendation of paro- Chia! achools ana the rest Of the report was adopted. TOBACCO ANATHEMATIZED, Rev. L, WaLLoN introduced the following, which Was adopted by acclamation amid cries ot “Good |!" and “Amen |’ Resolved, That we are much gratified at the fact that none of the bretliren received yesterday into full connection of the Conference are addictod'to the unnatural and injurious habit Of using tobacco, and that we eurnestiy adviso them ever to Continue in the same good waya, Religious Revivals. A deep religious mterest exists in the Ninth Presby- terian church of Troy, N. Y. The Lutheran congregation in Centre Brunswick, N. Y., 13 in a highly prosperous condition. Seventy- five persons were recently added to their communion, forty-two by baptism. At Chelsea, Mass., the Mount Bellingham M. E, church still enjoys an interesting revival. Also the churches at Rockport, and tlm street and Riverdale, Gloucester, have been favored with great awaken- Ings of late, and charches of other denominations oa Cape Anu have sbared in the spirit aud results. A series of ne a 1g held in zoel, Mae, under the auspices the Young Men’s Christian Association, which are tully attended and promise to be productive of good to the churches. Commencing with the Week of Prayer a very gra- cious work of grace has been in progress in Cedar Rapids, lowa—fve churches, 0. 8. and N. 8. Pres- bytertan, Methodist, Baptist and Lucheran—united 10 an effort on behalf of the people, ‘There is @ large Bohemian population in Cedar Rapids, lowa. ‘Tne devil 18 very busy among them. A paper 18 DOW publizhed there in their language of @ decidely infide: character, ‘Their language 1s an effectual barrier against all atiempts to do them good in any of the ordinary ways. The churches there recognize the salvation of this people as a highly important part of their work, but as yet do not see the way clear even for @ beginning. ‘The week of prayer was observed in Delavan, Tlli- nois, by a union prayer meeting in the efiernoon, held in the Bapust, Methodist and Presbyterian churches alternately, with an evening service in each church, and with such interest as to mduce a con- Unuation of them for five weeks, Atthe recent com- munion season in the Presbyterian church forty- two persons came before the session for admission to the church and it is expected several others will come torward at the next communion. Very interesting meetings have been held in quite @ number of churches in the east end of Long Island since the 1st of January. The small Congregational church at Lower Aquel e hay added a third to its membership, thirty joming on profession of faith and two by letter. “Nearly all of tne neighooring churches are receiving additions, notwithstanding several of them are without pastors, Religious Notes and Observations.

The revision of the authorized version of the Bible is opposed by the Convocation of the province of York, England, but the supporters of the proposal have the moral, it not the nuwerical, ascendancy. It is not generally known that officiating clergymen may adopt any O1 the existing Bibles, simply pe- cause the “authorized” translation has no egal au- thority except when quoted inthe prayer book, to the letter of which the clergy are bound by thetr or- dination vows. THE FORTY-SIXTH STREET CALAMITY Investigation Before Coroner Keenan—Testi- mony Adduced and Verdict of the Jury—Nobody to Blame. ‘The calamity in Forty-sixth street, near Eleventh avenue, which occurred during the hurricane on Sunday of last week, resulting in the deaths of Ben- jamin Donnelly, his wife, Rose, and three of their children, the particulars of which have been heretofore published in the HERALD, was the suwect of investigation yester- day afternoon before Coroner Keenan at the City Hall. Most of the testimony adduced went to show that the building which fell and killed the Donnelly family was properly constructed and of good materials. In the opinion of several of the witnesses the storm of rain and wind was the cause of the building giving way. Below will be founda synopsis of the most important evidence and the verdict of the jury:— John White, of 631 West Forty-sixth street. testi- fled that he lived next door to deceased; on Sunday afternoon last the witness saw Donnelly in lis yard assisting in putting up a board that had been blown down, and afterwards saw him go into toe house; in about a quarter of an hour afterwards the witness, in looking out of his window towards Eleventh avenue, saw the brick building next to deceased’s house fail to the ground; as far ag the witness could judge the first or second story gave out first; it gave a turn before it fell, as if something gaye way at the bottom; be ran down siairs tmme- diately and out on the sidewalk, and saw the brick building m_ ruins, and that part of it bad fallen on deceased’s house; work was imme- diately commenced to remove the brick and timber from deceased’s residence; at fret we could not see or hear anything of deceased’s family; while others ‘were at work the witness went for an officer to keep order; when he returned the witness heara that one body had been recovered from the ruins. m, D. Talisman, of No. 277 Kighth avenue, being sworn, says he 18a atone cutter by trade; am in- Spector of buildings in Department of Inspection and Survey of Buildings; saw the falien building in Forty-sixth street; I have inspected tnis butlaing every working day since it was commenced; there was nothing unusual in the construction of this building; 1 examined the materiais of which it ‘was made, and found them to be of good quality; the walls were of proper thickness, and the law re- (eee buildings was complied with in every par- icular; there were ho complaints made by any one in reference to the buiiding; it bad not been con- demned; the only part of the building that was affected by frost was the eastern gable; the frost twisted that wall, and the foreman commenced to take it down the next day; he did it of his own accord; there was nothing Wrong in the construction of the buliding to my knowledge; my opinion 18 that the cause of the fail was from the northeast wind striking the high east- ern Wail and throwing it Over, taking away the sup- port of the beams, and thas throwing the eastern wail, the rest of the building going down in the same ‘way; it 13 common to leave buildings in this state; the building standing alone, there veing no house within 200 feet of the eastera side and none within seventy- five feet of the western gable Is the reason that this bullding feli; I kuow of no precaution that could have been taken to prevent the falling; the walls were all well braced and anchored; they were braced from each tier of beams and there were four a chors attached to the beams; there is no law to pre- vent the erection of bulidings tn winter. Edwin K. Orrell, of 333 West Forty-third street, examined the materials of the fatlen building in West Forty-sixth street; think there was not lime enough in the mortar and the sand was too coarse, A number of witnesses were examined but no fur- ther testimony of importance was offered, and under the charge of Coroner Keenan the jury ren- dered the following:— ; . VERDICT. “That the deceased parties came,to their deaths ftom {njuries from the falling of a building tn course of construction at 627 West Forty-sixth street on the 27th day of March, 1870. They find the fail was occasioned by the extreme violence of the storm on sald day,” adedd de “FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, WALL STREET, } Saturpay, April 2—6 P.M. Wall street was utterly quiet and dull to-day. There was but one session of the Stock £xchange ‘and but one of the Government Board, The Stock Exchange went into executive session at noon on propositions to make application to the Legislature for @ charter, as well to remove the sight toa more eligible locality, In the absence of & quorum the meeting adjourned to next week. THR MONBY MARKET—THE BANK STATEMENT, There was @ rather active demand for money at seven per cent during @ portion of the afternoon, and a@ general marking up of rates on call, ‘The lowest figure at which the gov- ernment houses were offered balances was five per cent, while among the stock houses the rates were six and seven per cent, Commercial paper was nos affected by this activity, the amount of first class ac- ceptances on the market being very light. The figures of the bank statement submitted this afternoon are irreconcilable, except on the hypothesis that money has been artificially rendered scarce. Some of the banks were creditors for unasual amounts at the Clearing House this morning, and there are other indications that a certain chronic “‘pear” clique 1a the street can account for the withdrawal of (unda 80 suggested. There is reason to believe thas the banks during the week were actually gainers in legal tenders, as the rates of domestic exchange favored, and still favor, this city aa against the West and South. The loss in deposits 1 the decrease in specie; the loss in legal tenders is the amount locked up by the “bears.” The total loss in resgrve is over five militons, but the banks still hold hearly twenty millions of reserve in ex- cess of the amount required by law, so that they are in good position to meet an artificial tightening in money should 1t be superadded to the expected activity during the ensuing six weeks, ‘The last two statements compare as follows:— March 26.
