The semi-official pTess,: after initiating and fomenting excitement oyer he rumored intention of Prince Bismarck to retire from public life, now turn' :Tornd and declare that the agitation has a 'P'itely artificial origin. The hints thrown: ..nt regarding his successor were obviously -designed to influence tho Nationalists to Teturnto that absolute submission to the Chancellor against which, recently, they; have been inclined to rebel. But, apart from the allusions of the semi-official press,: .several coincident facts have pointed to coming eventful changes in the govern.ment. The public discussion of the probable results of a diminution of Prince Bisiharck's functions has not produced that general alarm which it was hoped it would create, so instructions appear to have been given to the Chancellor's organs to minimize the importance of tfie current report. There is nothing in it 3t all, says the Cologne Gazette; at the best 3t is mere "bier-book gapclie" pot-house chatter. The Prince is well and possesses the fullest confidence of the Kaiser. No. one in the country, except perhaps, Herr Iliehter, thinks it will either displace or overthrow him. No earnest political party would disturb itself by debating the chances of the Chancellor's retirement. " Tho North German Gazette, to-day, takes . a less scornful tone. It refers to the allabsorbing interest of the topic and finds an explanation for the ferment of the press in the supposed semi-ofiicial origin of tho ar-, ;ticle published in the Hamburg Nachrichten, and quoted thence by the North German Huzette, which gave unwonted prominence trtsaid article. The paper now declares that it was not written, as -was snrmiseiL -by any one in Prince Bismarck's entourage. Its suggestionsthat Count Waldersee would oe the Chancellors successor in no wise emanated from the Wilhelmstrasse, Tho conclusion drawn from these -contradictions is that Prince Bismarck.' no matter what momentary inclination he may have had to withdraw from the wor ries of official life, now means to cling to e.verypost he holds. The discussion ias had an all-Important result in revealing tho expectations of tho imperial circle regarding the government after the departure of iii3marcK. ine emperor nas not concealed from his intimate circle his conviction that Bismarck cannot bo displaced. When he -chooses to retire the Emperor will not appoint another Reicnskanter. The Emperor oeiieves mat ne nimseii ougnt to exercise the functions of Chancellor, with a soldierMa teaman as adlatns. The reference to a soldier-statesman points to Count Waldersee, -concerning wliom Bismarck's organs ' continue to advise tne Nationalists to cultivate distrust. 3 The Trau Schau Weia proverb is thrust : upon the government groups as a watchword. Herr Fischer, a Nationalist Deputy -and the burgomaster of Augsbourg. has -written a letter to the Augsbourg Abendpost explaining what incited lrinee lUfmarck to warn the Notionalists. The Nationalist committee recently addressed to a number of members of the group, a letter advising great prudence and reserve in their attitude toward the internal policy of the Chancellor, whoso declining powers, said the letter, become more and more apparent. Bismarck got hold of a copy of the letter and raised a hurricane about it, blaming the committee for its treachery. He would have disrupted the committee, but he finallv selected a lino of action aiming to show the party that his "powers were unshaken and that the country could not do without him. An open collision between Bismarck and Waidersee is anticipated over the artillery credits during the debate in the Reichstag, early in March. The report of Waldersee, now before the Bandesrath. demands a large extra credit. Bismarck opposes the demand, and vSchellendorf sides with the Chancellor, denying that there is any necessitr for the amount Waldersee recommends. The Emperor is undecided, but he shows a tendency in favor of Waldersee. Whether tho internal crisis bursts into an open mptnTc or not. the fact if; certain that the influence of Count Waldersee over the Emperor grows, while that of Prince Bismarck wanes.. Count Von Schellcndorf s long-pending withdrawal from the War Office will )jo hastened by tho dispute. Tho Walder? circle announce that hi successor will bo General Kaltenbcen-Stachan. The resignation of Dr. Von Schilling, Prussian Minister of Justice, is al.no rmrniinent. He has compromised his position by an imprudent speech in the Landtag anil by .want of judgment. In responding for the member of the Reichstag, whe-a challenged by the Progressist Hermes in the Unterhaus, regarding the GeSickeji documents. Dr. Von Schilling had tbv imprudence to question tho right of the. Landtag to intertere, and referred them to. his statements in the Reichstag. Progre?ist Mimical had the House with him in vindication of therichtof the Landtag to 'demand an explanation. The position of Herr Von Schcltz, Minister of Finance, is also shaken account of the taxation proposals. whicV caused dissatisfaction to both the agrjvriau and industrial parties. The Tagu'olatt mentions Herr Misimel an likely to be appointed I uisncial Minister. German Agrcrettlnn ja Samoa. Sax Fuanci5CO, Feb. lfJThe steannhlp Mariposa, frout Anstrali. and the fcamoau island, arrived this mining. Among her passengers is John C. 'Jlcin. tho American newspaper correspondent who figured in the Berlin dispatch, as having led the natives m the recent Tbattle with the Gcrxz&ba ca tho i aland, tit who claim to hare

witnessed the fight as a non-combatant in his capacity as correspondent. When mar-

nai law was ueciaretl on the islands oy tne uermans, an attempt was mauo oy mo latter to seize Klein, but ho was rescued by the Americans and took passage on tho ocean steamer Marinosa for this city. When the Mariposa left Samoa, tho islands were still um'cr martial law, and German aggression had become very marked, and is claimed to havo been directed against Americans as well as natives. The Mariposa left the Samoan islands on Feb. 1. On that date none of the American men-of-war ordered to go to tho islands had arrived, and the Germans, under tho operation of martial law, were in complete .control of the islands and had commenced a search of all vessels in Sanioan waters; but, after seizing an English tourist named Gillan. on tho steam racket Richmond, from Auckland, Captain land, of the English warship Royalist, ordered the man released and prepared for action. The Germans released Gillan on this demand. Goods which arrived on tho Richmond for American merchants at Apia tho Germans would not permit to be landed unless they were taken to a German store-house and passed upon by a German officer. The Samoan Times was suppressed on Jan. 19 for stating that but for German 6UDDort. all of the Samoans would join Ma taafa, and that, unless Bismarck was de ceived, ho would not attempt to enforce his unpopular rule in the country. Prior to this Mr. Cnsack, the editor, was fined $100 for reprinting certain American newspaper press comments on the Sanioan situation. Captain Fritze, the German naval commander, on Jan. 23. issued an order instructing all of the residents of Apia to turn over all guns or ammunition held by them, and proclaimed right of search. CaptainMuIlan, of the American man-of-war Nipsic, ' protested against this action, stating that the American government had never recognized Tamasese, and that no power would allow them to seize arms nnless used against a friendly nation. German troops, acting as police in Apia, attempted to arrest Klein, but on the advice of the United States consul he went on board the Nipsic. On Jan. 3S, Captain Fritze made a demand on Captain Mnllan to release Klein, that he might be tried before a German military tribunal. Captain Mnllan replied that he proposed to protect all American citizens in Samoa, and that Klein would not be surrendered for trial, and on Feb. 1 he placed him on the Mariposa. The Mariposa brings the first mail advices from tne Samoan islands since Jannary 2, when the preceding steamship of the Oceanic lino left there. Tho Mariposa left the Island of Tutuila on Feb. 1, and brings official reports of the United States consul and American naval officers of the action of the German naval force in Samoa since the engagement of Dec. 18. between the natives and Germans, which were forwarded in to-night's mail to Washington. At the time of the departure of the Mariposa the necessity for the presence of the American ni en of -war ordered to the scenes is claimed to havo been urgent, as the operations of the Germans were directed more against the American and English residents than against Mataafa and his forces, whom the Germans affect to call a rebel. The German consul visited Mataafa's camp to induce him to accept German rule, while in the cases of the Americans and Englishmen tho right of search of vessels and private houses in Apia was embodied in official proclamations. Formal declaration of war against King Mataafa was made by the German authorities on Jan. 10, and martial law established for the entiro islands. On the same day English subjects were seized and taken on board the German men-of-war. Instead of war being prosecuted againt Mataafa and his followers, the Germans have neglected them' almost entirely and have confined their .operations against American and English subject. Early in the month of January numbers of Tamascse's men began deserting, there being a mutiny by one of his most prominent chiefs, who decided that, while it might bo ligitimate enough to fight against their own people, yet they were not willing to join with the Germans in fighting the natives of Samoa. Apia remained practically deserted. The German officers from the war ships, and the German consul made daily trips along the beach in Apia, taking observations of Mataafa's boats, which were drawn tip on the beach. On the 8th day of January a large boat, containing Tamasese soldiers, came from up the coast, and communicated with the German war ship, Adler. The same night several deserters from Tamascse's side went to the camp of King Mataafa, at Masiagi, and informed him that the rebels intended to make a raid on Apia, on the following night, and also assault Mataafa's party. The Germans were to assist the rebels as much as possible, and the American and English residents were to be attacked equally with Mataafa's men. The King at once informed the American and English residents in Apia of this fact, thus giving them an opportunity to prepare for an attack. Lieut. F. F. Fillette. of the United States marine corns. in charge of the marine guard at the Amer ican consulate, was aroused bv the sentry. that night, who informed him that fire was in progress in Mataafale. He, with four marines, ran to the scene of tho tiro about one mile away, and was one of the first to arrive tnere. it was louna tnat tne residence of the German consul, Dr. Knappe. was in flames. In a few minutes the fire nad communicated to the German oostofJco at the other end of the building, and reaching across tho street, the flames attacked the German consulate. A large force of sailors from the united States war snipripsic was sent ashore to fight the fire. A lew minutes later a detachment from tho Hnglish warship Royalist arrived, and half an hour afterward a large force of sailors from the German warships Adler. Olga and Eber ar rived, each man carrying a loaded rifle with fixed bayonet. The American and English sailors brought pumps and axes. The fire in the meantime had spread to the resiuence or Jir. acnmiat, tne uerman viceconsul, and the Staadt Hamburg Hotel. The American and English residents (among the former being United States Vice-consul Blacklock) fought the lire, which was only destroying German property, until they were nearly exhausted. The Americai. and English sailors worked nttil overcome by heat, carrying water. using axes and 6avine nronertv belonging totheOerman Trading and Planting Company. The store of Grevsmuhl &. Co., and tne large store and residence of Ah Sue. were destroyed, as well as the court-house, jail, three email German dwellings, several native houses and a native church. While tho fire was in progress, Consul Knappo de clared no t nous ut tne occurrence was entirely accidental, due to the carelessness of several black laborers brought from other islands to work on the German plantations. and who were hanging about his residence at the time. Withiu five or six hours later, however, Knappe expressed his belief that the American and English residents of Apia were implicated in the business, Consul Knappo established his ofheoin tho premi ses of tho German Planting and Trading Company, The German war ship Eber sailed for Auckland oh the 12th, taking dispatches to be sent to the Oermau government concerning tUo bumin g of the consulate. A Mataafa natiw was publicly whipped in tho atternoon. in the presence of many Americans. English, natives and a few Germans, for baling told the German consular clerk in tlin street, a few days before, that Mataafa's men Would soon havo his head. On tho Afternoon of Jan. 15, a boat belonging to x-United States Vice-consul E. L. Hamil ton, manned by two natives, was seized by an armed boat from tho German ship Adler while in tho neutral water of Ania harbor. The boat was afterward released, and when mi explanation was demanded by Consul Blacklock, Consul Knappe replied that it was becauso the boat had not displayed any national flag. The English merchant steamer Richmond arrived in Apia harbor shortly beforo dark on tho ISth. The viceconsul received no news, and tho Americans were left in tho dark as to the inten tion of the American government to protect its citizens. The correspondent of tho Examiner at Apia, writing of the arrival of the Richmond, says that at I o'clock on the morning ouan. lUtlio Kicniuond was boarded by a crew of armed boats from the Adler, and that an armed German gun-boat had been watching her about l.Ooo yards from the moment she arrived. The officer in com mand of the former boat informed tho captain of tho Richmond that war had been declared by the Germans against Samoa: that the harbor had been blockaded, and that martial law had been declared in Samoa. The captain was further told that no freight would be allowed to be taken from tho Richmond unless taken directly to the wharf of the German Trading and Planting Company, where it would be opened, and tne propriety of admitting It to Samoa would be passed upon by Htrr Beckmanu, manager of the Uermau firm, and a person who was in no way connected witn tne uerman government in an official capacity. This proceeding on the part of the German war thin verified the belief that the German consul had re

ceived important news from his govern

ment. Atdavhght on tho morning or tne l'Jth an armed boat from tho Adler was seen anchored about 100 yards astern of the Richmond, for the purpose of preventing any freight lining landed, and also tp interrupt any boats going to or coming from tho vps.w1- and tn Arfrt:iin the reason of their presence in tho neighborhood of the ship. Soon after 9 o'clock in the morning a proclamation, printed in English and German, but not in Samoan, was issued by the uerman consul as follows: Bv onler of the imperial German covernment. I herewith proclaim a state of war in the Samoan islands. Anr assistance to rebels will le punished by martial law, irrespective of any nation-, ality, and introduction of contraband goods and munitions of war arc prohibited. All boats are liable to nearch. The iolie of Apia will henceforth act under instructions from the imperial German government. Residents of Apia are re quested to asMst In keeping law and order. uk. jvnapi'E, imperial uerman eonsiu. Apia, Jan. 10, l&S'J. This neculiarlv worded document was looked upon with sumriso bv both tho United States vice-consul and tho British consul. Tho Germans proceeded to act in accordance with tho spirit of the proclama tion. Half an hour after the document had been issued a boat belonging to H. S. Moors, an American merchant, which had gone along side the Richmond to obtain freight, was seized by the German guard boat and secured near tne vessel. When the fact of the seizure was reported to Viceconsul Blacklock, some tune afterwards, he at once communicated with Captain Mnllan, who wrote to Captain Fritze. of tho Adler, demanding an explanation of the seizure and asking that tho boat ""be at once released. Tho German captain replied that Germany had declared war against Samoa, and that Mr. Moors's boat was seized because he had refused to land his goods at tho German wharf and aUow them to be examined by Mr. Becker, of the German firm, beforo they wcro delivered to an American. At 8 o'clock in the afternoon tho German captain gave his consent that the boat bo re leased and allowed Moors to land a few head of cattle aud sheep at his own wharf, but insisted that all other than live freight be landed at tho wharf of tho German firm. Vice-consul Blacklock addressed a letter to Consul Knappe. requesting him to explain in plain terms whether Germany had declared war against Samoa, and also if martial law existed. After several hours the German consul sent a reply saying that, "By order of the imperial government, tho German consul has proclaimed martial law for Samoa until further notice." No reference was made in the letter as to tho declaration of war. Captain Mullen thereupon called upon Captain Fritze and inquired if war had or had not been declared by Ger many. The German captain informed Cartain Mullen that war had not been declared by Germany. When an officer from the Ninsic had occasion to nav an official visit to tho Adler, some hours later, Captain Fntzo once more changed his statement and told tho American officer that war had been declared, and soon afterward wrote a letter to tho same effect to Captain Mullen. On tho afternoon of the 20th, tho British ship Longfellow arrived in port from tho Paulino islands, bound to Queenstown and London with guano, having been obliged to put in for provisions. She was immedi ately boarded by tne crew or an armed boat from the Adler. followed a moment later by a boat from the Royalist. Tho German officer stated he was instructed to keep guard on the vessel, and thelloyalist officer having no positive orders, and the LongfeUow's captain not yet having been able to visit tne liritisii consul to prove tnat nis papers were ciear, tho British naval officer withdrow. The Germans kept armed men and officers on board until morning, when the Longfellow's captain, having proved his papers to be clear, the Royalist sent an armed boat to the ship and forced tho German guards to' leave. Indemnity bond having been given' tho Germans by the .captain of the Richmond, that vessel was given permission to land her freight at tho German wharf. Mr. Moors was not allowed tor land three barrels of cement at his own wharf, and therefore declined to receive it. A proclamation was issued by tho British consul on the afternoon of Jan. 20, ,in which all the British subjects in Samoa were notified that, notwithstanding the proclamation of the German consul declar ing martial law, they were subject solely ,fo Pnntain Tirif ft Vinl iaciiwl n. rnn ntrTrnol ft mation notifying the British subjects tnat, notwithstanding the proclamation just issued bv the British consul, all English sub jects in Samoa were under inartiallaw, and tnat u tncy snouid inany way mxenere with the German authorities they would be tried by martial law. On the evening of the day on which these proclama tions were issued, John C Klein, an Amer ican newspaper correspondent, received information from a friendly German that the German consul and captain of tho Ger man men-of-war had resolved to arrest him under martial law, tako him on board of the Adler. try him there by martial law at once, and shoot him 6r elso transport him immediately to the Marshall islands, where the former King Malietoa is now confined. In his capacity as a newspaper corre spondent Klein was for one month auc a naif an occupaut of King lataatas house in tho village of Laulv where Mataafa's army was encamped. While there he had full opportunity to witness tho acts of the Germans in assisting Tama sese and attempting to secure Mataafa's defeat The fact that the acts of the Germans were given a publicity which, up to that time, had not been fully known to the out side world, aroused their dislike towards the American correspondent. At 7 o'clock on tho following morning an armed guard from the Adler went on board the Kicfimond, arrested an English tourist named Uillan wnile no was in nis bath, and, without giving him time to put on his stockings, but merely his coat and trousers, took him on board the Olga. Con sul Goetloson and Caotain Hand were in formed of Gillan's arrest, and went on board tbe Olga and demanded an explanation. Captain Ehrhardt said Gillan had been ar rested because it was believed he was a sny. The German captain was told that. nnless he sent tho prisoner on board the Richmond at once, an armed boat from the Royalist would go to the Olca and take him off of the ship. (Lilian was returned to the Richmond without delay. Consul Goetloson has informed his government of tho fact that an armed uerman boat forcibly took a British sub ject from under the English flag. proclamation was issued on t ne morning of Jan. 21, by Vice-consul Blacklock, in which he announced that, having been in formed by the German consul that the uerman government had declared war against Mataafa and his followers, he notified all citizens of the United States that they were forbidden to take part in any hostile opera tions on either side, and that as long as they remaineu non-combatants iney were entitled to personal immunity and protection. It was further announced tnat any offense committed against American snhiecta or their property would be an offense against the laws of war, and ought to bo at once roported to tne Lnited States vice-consul, in order that tho ofi'endor or offenders might bo brought to justice. On tho afternoon of the 2Cd the German consul, Knappe, went to Mataafa's camp and was received by the latter's chiefs, Mataafa not appearing. Tho German con sul told them that a declaration of war and establishment of martial law had been directed against American and English residents of Samoa who had been giving Mataafa evil advice and assistance against the Germans, who were only anxious to bo good friends with all Samoaus. In caso .Mataafa and his peoplo refused tomako peace, said the German consul, tho Em peror of Germany had given him authority to 6cnd for all men-of-war, soldiers and cannon he desired to make war. Tho chiefs informed the consul they would make no terms of peaco unless a promise was given in writing, mado in the preseuco of the consuls, that Tamasese and Brandeis would bo sent out of tho country and assurance given tnat uermany would not attempt to tako advantage of King Mataafa and his government after it wuh rstnllihl. it had previously been arranged that two weeks' time should be demanded, in order inai ume migni uo given lor arrival of news from tho United States in regard to what action mo government Jiad taken concerning Samoa. Tho Samoans based all thcir hopes for rescue from the Germans upon the news which the next Han Fran cisco steamer would briug about the action of the United .States. On Jan. Z Captain Fritzo announced that he Would thereafter exercise police control in Samoa. Consul Blacklock declined to recognize this proclamation. Beforo evening Captain Fritze had issued another proclamation. In this document he requested all civilians of Apia trgive information to the German otticor of the guard on shore of tho number of fire-arms

and quantity of ammunition in their possession ou ' or before the evening of the 25th. All fire-arms and ammunition were to be officially sealed, and all arms and ammunition of which no information had been given were to bo seized and the owner or owners of tho same punished by imprisonment or by deportation. Captain Mnllan wrote somo vigorous letters to Captain Fritze on the evening of the 24th, protesting m the name of the United States government against tho latter's proclamation of the previous day concerning the . police in Apia. The government of Tamasese, said Captain Mullan, had never been recognized by tho United States government. As to the possession of the fire-arms by American residents of Apia, no rower had authority to take possession of them unless used against a friendlypowcr, or while in transit for such use. Captain Mullan also said that in his opinion the condition and state of war in Samoa did not warrant martial law being proclaimed. Captain Fritzo replied to this that ho would leave the questiouastohis authority to dcclaro martial law to his superior officials in Germany. On the night of Jan. 21 Klein was taken on board the American man-of-war Nipsic, having eluded the German police. On Jan. 28 Captain Fitzo sent tho foUowing letter to Captain Mullan: The information has reached methat an American citizen, Mr. 8. C. Klein, Is on board the United States ship Nipsic. If that should be true, I hereby request that you would surrender him to the llcrman military tribunal, onboard ship Adler, for cause, as has been laid before me, maintained and witnessed by oath, that he, in a conspicuous manner, was concerned In the attack on the landing party of II. L U. M. Olga, on Dec. 13, 18S3. A reply was sent to Captain Fritze by Captain Mullan, in which the latter said he was obliged to give protection to every American citizen in Samoa who was entitled to it; tho charge made against Klein by the German authorities could not be settled by a military tribunal in Samoa, but would havo to bo considered and finally passed upon by the governments at Washington and Berlin. He therefore positively declined to deliver Klein to any German naval or civil authority in Samoa. The Troubles at Pesth. Copyright, by ths New York Associated Press. Berlin, Feb. 16. Advices from Vienna 6tate that Herr Von Tisza's position causes grave anxiety. Popular feeling in Hungary threatens to overthrow the Ministry, leaving a way for the return of Count Audrassy, with a foreign policy not in accord with that of Count Kalnoky. Tisza's fourteen years' service as a Minister does not count against tho' outcry which is now hounding him for tho passage of the army bill. If a collision resulting in bloodshed occurs between the troops and tho populace at Pesth during to-morrow's demonstration against the Ministry, Prime Minister Von Tisza's fall will be imminent. The police officials have taken measures to prevent a procession, but the opposition Deputies have dcter- . mined to march with flags and bands , through the principal streets of Pesth, and to assemble for the purpose of delivering addresses opposite the palace. In. tho lower house of the Diet, to-day, the opposition renewed its attack upon Prime Minister Von Tisza's amendment to the army bill, according to which the annual contingent of recruits is fixed for a definite term of ten years. Herr Polonyi. referring to the riots, declared that perfect order would bo promised . to-morrow if the police did not interfere : wit Ji. the populace. He denounced Premier Von Tisza as being responsible for the riot.

Morehouse, of Oranco Vallev. and Miss Jenny Mnlford, of Newark, started for a spin on their bicycles last Friday afternoon. After an hours run they reached the foot of the Essex County Toboezan Club's chutes, and in a spirit of banter Mrs. Morehouse challenged her friend to a race up the slides. They pedaled their way tip the slides vigorously until they reached the RteeDest part oi the ascent, when Mrs. More house proposed to coast down, to which Miss Mnlford agreed. They they coolly mounted the wheels, and an instant later were whiz2inir down the slides. Toboftf ans have almost incredible speed, but he cycles, unretarded by friction, went infinitely faster, flying down the glistening slopes like flashes of lightning, while the spectators held their breath.

MISS CANDY'S TJXDEKCLOTIIEg. A Bride's Trousseau Which Is an Improvement on "Reform Ureal. New York World. ' A private letter from England contains an account of the trousseau of Mi&s Candr, who has reduced tn number of eligible dukes by one and converted Newcastle to a wholesome bolief in and desire for matrimony. There was a great deal 6aid by the society papers about the efforts of the New York girls to accomplish the same thing when the pious little peer was over here ou a visit awhile ago, but he held out against the charms of the all-conquering American girl and succumbed promptly, on his retnrn to the attractions of alittlepink-and-white miss of seventeen, who wasn't old enough tojpossess any arts, and captured a duchessship by mere force of freshness and prettiness. Her father was a well-known soldier, who, despite his valor, was of so sweet a temper tnat he was universally known as "Sugar-Candy." He spent some time in India, and the letter describing the trousseau says that his equally amiablo and sunnytempered daughter was bora there. When she came to England her Indian nurse came with her, and continued, while submitting to .the English fashions as far as concerned her nurseling's frocks, to dress her in such underclothes as are rommouly worn by the girls in Hindustan. These were so comfortable, and such an improvement on the ordinary Occidental wear, that Miss Candy has never relinquished them, and her expensive trousseau consists of the Frenchiest of French gowns over undergarments cut in patterns worn by the Zenana women for a thousand years or more, for fashions never change oitener than once an eon in India. All tne materials were brought from the East. too. and consist of dozens in the finest, snowiest India wool, which is almost as smooth as silk linens that are called in their picturesque phrase, "woven wind," and crapes and foulards soft enough to be drawn through a ring. ihese materials are made up into gar ments, with an unpronounceable Indian name, which extend from the neck to the knee. Jb or the upper part of the body this supplies a soft swathing, without bulk, clasped on the shoulders and at the waist with curiously-wrought antique ivory and gold clasps. JJelow the waist It turns into Turkish trousers, which are clasped at tho knee by more of these clasps, which also serve to hold the silk stockings. doing away with the garter. Every bit of this material is nand-woven and tinted in the most exguisite dull Eastern shades, which can only o secured from native vegetable dyes, but much of It, the larger half, in fact, fs snowy white. Ine eastern eye has a fondness for that color upon women. The corsets are something absolutely unique a simple and supei lor substitute for all the "health corsets" so much vaunted by dress reformers in this country. Hindoo women have worn such for centuries. In the mountains of India is a certain wild goat, the skin of which, when the animal is taken young, is susceptible of the highest finish in dressing, so that it becomes like velvet for softness and flexibility, yet does not stretch or give with use. AU of these corsets are made in the shape of waists, and while they give the body absolute freedom in movement are sumciem 10 support; tne body and give a smooth surface over which a dress can fit as well as over any "hand of 1'ron in a satin glove" ever manufactured y a Parisian corsetiere. Miss Candy or dered a dozen of these st with eold evelet holes, laced with silk and dyed in all the delicate shades to match her tinted under wear. Over this corset is worn a divided skirt. which Western reformers are struggling tor now, and which India women have been wearing time out of mind. These are made of silk to match the rest of the under wear, are all in ono piece around the waist. dividing lower down into tbe two wide trousers, some of which are gathered around the calf of the leg, others falling loose to the ankles. Over this strange Oriental wear the modean slim Directoire gowns are particularly eflective, and one reason why Miss candy's assumption or tne empire styles has been so peculiarly becoming is because of what she wore underneath it. One of Archbishop Ryan's Stortes. From Philadelphia Speech. I am glad that there is a power in social interconrse mat Drastics away religious differences and asperities: that enablesinen to look each other in the face and realize that they have much in common without prejudice on account oi the sentiments they profess. A certain'Indiana Baptist fanner," con tinued the Archbishop, "who was much prejudiced against the present rotte met him. and these two honest men looking at each other liked each other. 'If yon should preach in Indiana said the Baptist, M believe Fd go to hear you.' The next day the daughter of theinaianian wanted to see nis Holiness, but could not. aa women are onlv admitted on certain days and in a certain dress, black, with a black veiL 'Well said the farmer. if the Pope only knew it was my daughter Jane he'd see her When fnTKImor Preston told the IIolv Father. 'Well said he, mv laws are not like thosA of the Medea and Persians, so I'll 6ce Jane,1 and he did. What was the wonder of the Swiss Guard and of the eorgeous chamber lains when the Indiana princess violated all the precedents simply because of the sympathy of two honest men. So many Protestants -who have met the Pope, while not re ligiously Catnolics, are personally Papiats. "Un the great dogmas we are all united. We have a common love for religion. In an age when society i tnreateneu witn grave dangers it is well that men who love Christianity and Christian civilization should unite. I was glad to find when I came to Philadelphia that moAt of the public men were Christiana, and I see no reason why on me great questions we may not agree."
