THE BRIDE'S DRESS, The bride’s dress is of the richest and heaviest White satin, with a very long full train of white tulle, trimmed ut the end with shell work 1p an intricate and beautiful design. It is decorated with white hyacinths and orange blossoms, a wreath and necklace of orange flowers, and the only jewels will be a pair of superb pearl earrings. The corsage 18 cut décolleté, square im front and back, with the smallost possible apology for Sleeves (a mere band across the arm). A small veil of feecy tulle will envelop her like a cloud, while in one baud, faultlessly gloved, she will curry a bouquet of fragrant white roses and orange blossoms. The bridesmaids’ dresses are all precisely alike, In exact imitation of the bride’s, except in their material They are of sheer white (ulle, trimmed with white satin and ornamented with sprays and clusters of white lilac, Down tho teu long, fleecy trains extend jabots of white blonde lace, the corsages extremely décolleté, with the merest suspicion of sleeves, the waists decorated with berthas of tulle and satin, Each lady will wear a String of pearls about the throat and the bouquets will be arranged two and two alike in five different styles, As the inVitatious indicate, the ceremony takes Place at seven o'clock, alier which will come the re- ception at the house of the bride—the sociable mansion of Admiral Porter, This house is a model of good taste aud luxury, elegant without display | and pericct’ ih all’ its appointments, Tho | square hall, with tessellated marble floor and rich carpet, smothering every footfall, leads | by doors cn either side into parlors opening into each | other, so that the threo conuecting apartments, arf fanged in” semi-circky divided only by archways heavily draped with satin damask, appear as one im- | mense saloon, The centre parior is upholstered ta crimson velvet, that on the right in drab and the front | ope in blue The floors are mosaiced iv strips and | blocks of dark woods and covered with Persian rugs and velvet carpets’ woven in squares, ‘Tne | hangings are of satin damask, Ww crimson, drab and blueto match thew respe ive suits, With exquisite draperies of real lace be.vaih, Articies of vertu are scattered about everywhere, on tables, brackets aud mantels, anong luxuriant divans and sofas, The mar- bie hearths are decorated with antique vases in siugue | lar designs aud delicate workmanship, and rare paint- ings adorn the wails, crimson draped pedestal, stands a bust of Admiral | Porter, Leading ‘rom the crimson parlor, on the leit, | is the ballroom, a loug, wide hall, with stained giass | windows at cithor end, elegantly draped with lace aud white linen, The dark floor bas been newly waxed and polished, aud is in splendid trim for she exercise of “the light fantastic.” Satin sofas and chairs, up- bolstered im aliernate crimson and gold color, ars ranged around for the accommodation of non-dancers and spectators, The grand piano at one end assists in the music, and numberiess crystal chandeliers will emit a flood of gotteped light.

This is a rich dress aud every movement must show the elegant brown silk laid in folds beneath the long narrow seams of the back. SWIFT'S COMET, To tux Evitor oy tux Hexatp:— Since the publication of my letter of April 23 in the | Hegatp there has been published in the American Journal of Science and Arts an observation of Comet 1iL, at the observatory of Yale College, which ante- dates Borelli’s discovery. [t seems, therefore, that although the observers were unfortunate at the Nae tional Observatory, Professor Swilt’s announcement was suflcient to enable astronomers with @ tavorable sky to tind hiscomet. Even had the fact been that Borelli’s discovery was prior to any American observa- tion which determined the exact position of the comet, 1 do not think the astronomical world would have de- nied Swiit’s priority on that ground atone. Yet there would have been some reason for such a decision, espe- cially when | add the fact, stated in his letter of May 1 to the Hiera.o, that he telegraphed that it was ‘10 the field with Pi,” which was eight degrees away, and the fact, which I-have just ascertained trom u knowledge of its orbit, that the position which be telegraphed wa nearly three degrees in error. Alter search- ing in the nelghborhood of Pi, und also in the neighborhood of the position which was tele- graphed, extending the search in each place over a fiela of five degrees in diameter, or the distance of the Pointers in Urso Major [rom each other, the conclu. sion might naturally have been that thero was a mis- take, and perhaps ho comet at all. The snnounce- ment ought to have been such aa to enable the observatory to turn its telescope iumediately upun the comet without search, and not such as w require a search of fifteen minutes to baif an bour, according to the luck of the observer, Thata proper announce- ment was not made was not at all the fault of Protessor pwilt, but of the unknown somebody who has not pro- vided him with the means of determining positions more uccurately. And although his laurels are secure for this time he may not be so fortunate the next. On Friday evening Liound the comet aud determined its position—ubout fourteen degrees norih of Capella, where Comet, still lingers, By the aid of the two ob- servations at Yule College and my own l have com- puted an approximate orbit, from which it appears thut this comet passed its perthelion about ten ays ago ut almost exactly the eurth’s distance trom the sup, and is now moving nearly at right ungics to the line of sight, su that there 18 nO probability that it will become brighter than it now is—a small und somewhat fuint te-escopic comet with “no tail.” lt was 1¢ tact at the time of writing my last letter a little further from us than I surmised, and the direction of 18 motion is such, that although it may be seen in the telescope for & month or two longer, until 1b becomes lost in the Western twilight, it will soon be even more difficult to flud thunit bas been heretofore. . Luter observatiOns of Comet IL. show that it 18 a It. tle further from us and will not quite equal in bright ness the predictions founded upon the orbit computed in Europe. 1t may be easily found with a small tele- scope one or two degrees behind the place indicated by my diagram, Alter the middle of Muy the bright- ness of the moon will make the observation of both comets difficult, and I therefore append the positions ov May 31, from which it will be easy, with a good tole- Scope, to rediscover them, and they may then be fol- Jowed until tho moon agaio interferes, At that timo Comet if, will be found just below the mouth of the Grout Bear, and Comet III, a little below the hind feet of the Lynx.

For an assemblage that can be so boisterous on oc. casions as the Stock Exchange the number of its rows is very stnul, Its members are of course governed by strict rules while within the building, and though they do howl and in a menacing atutude shake a fore: finger at au adversary (he noise and demonstration are seldom an index to their feelings, But they get excited once tm a while, under the pressure of sharp ‘*buli’’ or **bear’? assaults devised with such skill and executed with such daring as to drive them into uncomiortable “corne Tt was under the influence of sume such pressure yesterday that a litte row occurred which furmished ‘the street” with a subject for gossip. The movement of a certain stock, which has been one of the features of active speculation for several days was at the bottom of the affair, This stock advanced trom the opeaing figure nearly two per cent, presumubly through the manipulation of the “bulls”? (as it closed at a figure lower than the opening price) and Mr, V. A, Blucque, of Messrs, Gould & Biacque, | No. 26 Broad street, was, rumor says, considerably ex- | ercised over the advance, The sume authority lias it that he was “short” of the stock, either for bituselfor | customers, and that to counteract the elfects of the | pull” advance he offered to lend some as a ‘blufl,” that he mizht be able tv borrow what Le wanted all tho cheaper. His offer appears to have spoiled the plang ot some brokers on the ‘ong’? side, and | thas the trouble began, Mr. Eames, of Messrs, | Eames & Muore, was said to be’ among the*| number of the ollended ones, so be said to Mr. Blacque | that tho latter had no rigot to spoil his market, To | | this Mr, Blacque is said to have replied iu @ discourte- ous Way, insinuating indeed that Mr. damned tool, ’* games was “a | ovlking the imputation Mr, Eames | meet you im the street you must take | words back, or I'll slap your face.” ‘ihen they Separated, Dut met ugain In New street, quite near the Excuunge soon ater. Here the quarrel was renewed, | when Mr, Eames, true to bis promise, siapped Mr | Biacque’s face, ‘Tnougu Mr, Kames was “long” of the | troublesome stock be Was rather short of stature, while Mr. Blacque, though ‘short’! of stock, was long of stuture and quick of limb, Tbe latver therefore caine to a sudden determination to resent the assault, and report later in the afternoon suid that ho succeeded inmaking Str.

THE APPLICANTS. ‘There was one peculiarity about the applicants for licenses and tags yesterday which 1s well wortn noting. ‘They were all mad—as March bares or hat- vers, or whatever it is that 18 very mud—not that they were sullering trom hydrophobia., Some of them been in the Purk since shortiy alter daybreak, and had con- sequently come down town without @ bite, But they were ull mad on general principies, and when they attempted to form a line it was with difficulty that the oilicers detailed could preserve order. Every Social and natural class of humunity was represented, There were big men with small dogs tucked under their arins like bewspapers, and small men with mon- strous dogs, Who cavorted in and out of the cue in their traatic attempts to restraim the lurehes for Iiberty which the beasts were making. The men who had no dogs with them ussumed that haughty superiority which is born of accidental smartness, There wero plenty of ladies in the'line, and any quantity o1 colored people of both sexes. Each individual hated every olber personuge, und considered himself or herseif aggrieved ut not being waited upon with supernatural alucrity. THE ReGISTERING. From eleven o'clock until nalt-past three the proc- ess of registration and taggutiou wevton, It only ceased at balt-past three because tho tlrm in Centre sirect that manutactures the articles had ran short on their denvery, ‘What's that to met’ asked @ tall mau in a French blouse, as be excitedly misunderstood the officer, who was trying to prevent his entering tho enclosure aud biting some one; “suppose 1 want’ to tuke my dog vut in the buker’s wagou to-morrow! Then whav? Weff, no one could tell precisely what would be the consequence, and the baker bad to go- away unsatisfied. It was certain that he meant, to take the dog out, tag or no tag. An elegantly dre lady cried when she found that there were no more tags, apd that a cloud had drifted over her Skye—un ugly brute that nestled in silver luxuriance close to her bosom. Every cierk in the office felt like kicking the dog, and fruntic searches were made for just one tag; but none was to be found. ‘Yhe people kept crowding in steadily, and they wero turned away in acondition of grow. No one could understand Why the tags were not ready, Some who obtained the courted bit of metal were as obstreper- ous ay the others who did not. The man with a large dog wanted a massive tag to fit his property, and the lady with a@ black and tan terrier that weighed a pound, and hadan inch and a ball of rat tail, was disgusted with the idea of choking her darting to death with such a contrivance. Major Hart explumed biandly that if the dogs had beon brougut down and measured properly the appropriate tags would have been prepared tor them, THE DAY'S WORK. Three bhuudred and twenty dogs wore registered yes- terday up to the time that the tugs discontinued their flow, Tue black and tan Was more numerous than uny other and the monurel came next. “What do uu cail thaty’’ said a clerk, as a German from Mott ven held up a dirty yellow cur by the neck, “Yust vat you likes," replied tue Teutonic philosopher, riviig at the conclusion that even Buffon would have been vailled by the question, The Spitz dog wus largely represented, Showing that hydrophovia is still worn in Jashionavle circies, Two Maltese terriers and a Lord Huinitoun bulldoy—ol the purest breed—were among the varieties. The bulldog belongs to Mr. John D, Townsend. Some ot the dogs licensed yesterday are in the list of the bench show at Giimore’s Garden, The yellow dog belonging to the Mott Hayen German 4g not among the number. THE BENCH SHOW.

As regards accommodation for crews, boats, &c., there are at least 100 places on the Hudson River, between Thirty-fourth aud Ninety-fourth streets, where tho crews can find quart for training and other necessary purposes.

Eric Linderberg, who is now a patient in the Long Island College Hospital, recently wrote to the HeraLp complaining of the treatment which he had received at the hands of his former Captain and the Scandinavian Consul, In his communication Linder- berg stated that he shipped as 4 seaman on board the Norwegian bark Stat, Captain C. Crisseusen, on De- cember 3, 1876, in St, Nazere, France, remaining on bourd until April 6, when he was ruptured and sent to the hospital above named. The Captain, instead of supplying bitin with trusses, has sailed without even notitying bim of his intention to do 80, But, worse than all, he complains that the accounts leit by the Captain with the Con- sul, Mr, Christian Boos, of No. 18 Exchange place, New York, are $16 less than is actually due him. He called on the Consul, he says, who abused hum with coarse language, and threatened to force him to “sign off?” and receive the petty amount the captain has been pleased to leave bim. A Hunacp reporter visited the Long Island College Hospital yesterday and bad a conversation with the hou:e surgeon, Dr, Wost, who statea that the Captain of the Stat called at the hospital a few days be- fore tis departure and waoted to know, wuether the man Linderberg would be able to returh*to the vessel, ‘The Doctor told him that the patient named, who bad been admitted suffering from strangulated hernia, could not go to 8 uable to @ sudden relapse, which, at sea and remote from surgigal ald, might prove fatal, The Captain ap- peared to be kind in his inquiries and loft tor the pur- pose of seolng. the Consul! and conferring us to the best measures to be taken iu the case, Ho did not return, however, va, as he was THK SAULOR’S STORY, On entering the ward in which Linderberg was quar tered the patient, a tall young man, und ignorant of the English language, cate forward, and by the aid of @ seaman interpreter said that he was entitled to full pay atthe rate of wages jor which he bad shipped from the date of going on bourd, Decomber 3, til such time as he sbould be able to Jeave the bospital, Gut instead of that his pay was cut off from the tine be was ruptured, which happened a the line of duty, He was a total stranger In this country and physically incapacitated trom again work- {ng as a sailor, it was customary for the owners of vessels'to purchase such appliances a8 might be neces- sury lor the care and comfort of seamen injured on duty, The Captain of the Stat had ‘never called to see him, bat had, on the contrary, when told that a truss would be required of him, “sneaked away" trom the hospital and never showed his face there again.

New York is to be treated to a novel and gorgeous spectacle, Nothing has ever been seen in this great theatre of sight nd wonders that will bear comparison with the coming pageant. The conceptiog of the carnival was so bold that many thought it would never be matured, and that if any result did occur from the plan would be the mouse of a labored mountain, Practical business mem were lukewarm and inclined to look upon the project 48 frivolous, and could see no result beyond gratilying the public eye that was likely to be attained, The writer has conversed with many men whose dicta on 'Chupge and {n the market is of weight, and they spoke lightly of the matter and were inclined to regard carnivals as the pastime of idle and poetic people. “Varnival Said ope of these gentle men, who measures life with a rule and submits every- thing to the test “Will it pay??? “are good enough for Frenchmen, Italians or those dreaming fellows in the South; but, you know, nen in this city are too full of business to waste any time on such tom foolery.
