The muili- nery exhibition,“prolific in varted styies of head- dress; the handsome suits and evening dresses, the ioreign and American silks—of the latter the Cheney being the most popular—and the thousand and one surprises that meet the visitor to this fashionable colosseum at every corner have proved irresistibie to the average female mind. A FEW THOUGHTS, Before disclosing the arcana of other large houses it would be well here to consider upon the present stage of fashions and to contrast the styles of to-day with those of three or six years past. ‘The revolution which we sketchea out some years ago has proved to be of the most sweeping charac- ter.

There is @ prevalent notion that the Queen of England is invariably favored with fine weather on any day selected by her fora public ceremonial; but, whether it is owing to the length of time which has elapsed since she favored her liege sub- jects with the light of her countenance or to some other occult reason, the spell seems to have been broken.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. A resolution was introduced to remove the Fourth Judicial Court from the present location corner of Houston and Allen streets, to Essex Market, and was referred to the Committee on Law. Alderman GILON introduced an ordinance en- of Salisbury, Mr. Assneton Cross, Home Socretarrs terk ‘and, offices in any of the departments or branches the governinent of the city of New York.’’ Section one provides that no person not a resi- dent of the city of New York for at least four Months sall be eligible to any office in any of the departments of tie city government, either ag President or Commissioner of such executive de- partment, chiel of bureau, clerk or officer, whether "legislative, executive oF judicial, or the Koard of Education; nor shali such person have any claim upon the Mayor or Commonalty for any compensa- tion for services by virtue of holding sucn office. Section two declares such office vacant if held by @ non-resident, and makes it the duty of the he of the department to appoint a legai resident of the city to such vacancy. Section three repeals all or any part of ordinances inconsistent with this ordinance, Section four provides for the ordinance to go into effect immediately. Alderman VAN ScHalcK proposed that the las clause be amended so that non-residents may have nN opportunity to remove to the city; hence the ordinance should not go into effect at once, Alderman GILON defended his measure by state ing that he inserted “four months” since writing the document, so as to conform with the State Election law. Alderman BILLINGS hoped that the ordinance will not be adopted in in its present shape, as it would work great hardship, especially to teachers in our public schools, who are forced to reside in the suburbs on account of cheaper living, A motion to lay over was negatived. On aresolution to adopt the ordinance, Alder. man VAN SCHAICK offered an amendment tna teachers in public schools be exempted from ita operation, Which, on @ statement by Alderman GILON that some 500 teachers were non-residents, Alderman OrreNDOBFER amended by striking out the words ‘four months.” Lost.
