From the Regular Correspondent of The Sun. i NEW YORK, July 12, 1879. Babble Imputations In whieh there is Profit The Races by the Seaside and Reflection Thereon Note on i July Toilets A Baltimore Craft in One provincialism not yet outgrown by this city is the habit of gossipplng Insatiably over every movement of people in any grade of local note above invincible obscurity, who, by their crisp new riches or adventurous audacities, or any other showy pnase of character, may be supposed to have a willingness tor chronic notoriety. The distinction ol being really prominent enough for such familiar celebration In a community of over a million of souls ought to be either highly creditable or propor-tlonately shameful to a person as ensuing from grand achievements or very evil ones. In New York, however, it pertains only too easily to any individual who, from motives of speculative tact, or coarse vanity, or charlatantc policy, or even criminal cunning, seeks to live theatrically in the public eye.

Thus Wall-street chicanery, vulgarly ostentatious wealth and dramatic vice have equal opportunities to profit by gratuitous advertising, in quantities limited only by their own Inclinations, and the voice of local fame is as facile to chatter over the manner in which the last arrested murderer arranges his hair as about the probable deep designs Inducing a Jay Gould to sail for Europe. Where popular heralding can be so widely commanded it ceases to be distinctively an occasion of either moral credit or discredit, and becomes chiefly matter of business, whereof shrewd men may avail themselves to manufacture public sentiment to their advantage la a thousand different lines. Where one pernicious scheme is thwarted by this system of Indiscriminate publicity for the doings and sayings of the bolder money-makers of the day, a dozen scarcely less objectionable ones are potently aided towards accomplishment through the creation in the common mind of au overweening sense of the sagacity and resources of their projectors. Doubtless the constant gabble in the newspapers and about town concerning the arch adroitness of Mr. Jay Gould, and the enormous revenues of Mr.

Vanderbilt, and the gigantic speculative operations ot R. Keene is an invaluable help to those gentlemen in all their respective heavy financial adventures, at once strengthening them in all that they attempt and intimidating all opposition to them. They and their kind are the "big" men ot the village, and after they have gained a certain headway in their designs all the smaller villagers are deterred by the fame thereof from seeking to dispute. Whatever may be Gould's purpose in going to Europe, it has suffered no disadvantage from what talkers and money-editors are conjecturing about it for popular entertainment.

In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Bourke, under secretary for foreign affairs, stated that Russia, through the foreign office and Count Schouvalotr, the Russian ambassador to England, denied any intention of a march upon Merr by Gen. Lazareff's expedition. In the House of Commons this afternoon Sir Stafford Northcote, chancellor of the ex chequer, gave a list ot the measures, which, he said, tho government will endeavor to pass and which it will abandon. The most Important of the latter are the criminal code and patent bills.

He abstained from giving the entire catalogue of the abandoned bills, and made no mention of the bill relating to elections and corrupt practices. In the House of Lords this evening the Mar-qulsot Salisbury, secretary of state for foreign affairs, replying to an inquiry of Lords Strath-eden and Campbell, stated that not a single Russian soldier was left In Rou mania. Count Schouvaloff had assured him that the Russian troops west of the river Pruth wore rapidly going to Varna and Bourgeas to embark for home. The last Russian lett Phlllppopolls yesterday.

London, July 14. The St. Petersburg Gazette repeats In a circumstantial form the accusation which has lately been current in the Russian press that the Turcomans opposing General Lazareff's expedition from the east shore of the Caspian sea are armed with English rifles, and says that officers employed in Turkestan declare that the rifles have beea received by the way of Herat from the British reserve supplies in Afghanistan. Tho Gazette asks in what light the English government regards this traffic. GERMAN POLITICS.

Berlin, July 14. The seventeen national Hborals who on Saturday lostseceded from that party constituted a section headed by the historian Treltschke. Their secession was due to a vote of censure passed upon- them by a majority of the party for supporting Prlnco Bismarck's views on the tariff. The closing debate on the tariff will be memorable for the protests ot Herr Dolbruck and Horr Laskor, who prophesied nothing but discontent and confusion as the result of the tariff. The Official Gazette publishes the following appointments Herr Mayback, minister pt public works, to be chief administrator of Imperial railways; Herr Hoffman, president of the chancellory of the empire, to be minister of commerce and trade; Herr Von Putt Rammer, President of the Province of Silesia, to be minister of ecclesiastical affairs; Horr von Ludlus to be minister of agriculture, domains and forests.

GRAND FETB OF COMMUNISTS. i A Sensation Kx plodert. One of the morn lng papers yestnnlay published tho startling and sensational Story ot a young woman who was said to have boon approachod on the public streets of Baltimore at au early hour Saturday evening by a man who chloroformed her Into "semUxmsolouenees," and then, convoy lng her by a street car to the suburbs near Druid Hill Park, brutally outraged her. Tho story as published in Baltimore and telegraphed from tho same sources to New York, Philadelphia and Western newspapers, was so full of inconsistent aud improbable statements that very little attention was paid to it in Baltimore until the marshal ot police folt bound to send for the young woman and fully investl-gate the story. The marshal decided to search tho matter thoroughly, not from any belief In the manifestly improbable statements of the reporters In quostlon, but in order to ascertain whether it was possible for any such thing to occur In tills city without the knowlodgo ot the police, as had been represented.

The result is that he is convinced the story is simply the sensational stuff of a couple ot reporter desirous ot emulating the Boston detective reporter, who recently made such a ten-strike in tho case at the negro murderer, ChastlneCox. The Baltimore reporters met a young serving girl, in an apparently used-up condition, at Edmondson avenue and Carey street, at one o'clock Sunday morning. She had flopped down on a door-step, when she was accosted by the two scribes and entertained them with a harrowing yarn, In which they saw ducats galore for "telegraphic specials" outside, and a dead-beat on the local press at home. They therefore took the limp and bedraggled heroine to the home of one of the twain and kept her secluded until they had, -as they say, "fully verified" her statements, which they clinched to their own satisfaction by submitting the girl to the examination ot a respectable physician. The doctor found certainly that the girl had been "roughly used," but of course he could undortake to say how the usage had been put upon her whether It was voluntary in the outset or not.

The girl gave her name as Georgle McComas, age 19, and occupation a domestic In the family of Goo. W. Almack, No. 317 Mulberry street. She said she was formerly from Port Deposit, and these statements, together with the fact that she was an orphan, without kindred, are sustained.

When she was confronted by Marshal Gray In his office yesterday she acknowledged that-wbat sha had told the two reporters about drugs and outrage was a lie out of whole cloth. She said she had been put into one of the Citizens' line cars, near Llborty street, by a young mau with whom she had been drinking. She fell asleop in the car from the effect of her potations, and when she woke up she found herself on the northwestern suburbs, bewildered by the strange situation and lost her way, and was wandering back into the city, where she met the two midnight philanthropists. Georgie the marshal she "thought the fellers was rather green," and she trumped up the story of chloroform and outrage in order to account for being out late. When Marshal Gray first questioned her she tried to sustain the chloroform and outrage yarn to him, but he produced police officer Whalon, who had seen her at the corner ot Baltimore and Liberty streets at 10.10 P.

the hour she had stated to the unsophisticated amateur detectives that she had been violently dealt with at a distant place. On this Georgie "caved." She admitted having seen the police officer, and then she made a clean breast ot everything. Many things she said and did were not to her credit, and it was easy to see she was lewd in thought and speech. She said she had no idea when she was talking to those "green young men" that there was to be any publication ot her story. Marshal Gray found a number of persons by whose testimony every statementof the alleged outrage and chloroform was a manifest impossibility.

Officer Whalen saw her talking to a rough-looking young man on the corner as above stated, and others saw her in the same vicinity, between Eutaw and Liberty, Pratt and Fayette streets. Other details were also obtained to warrant the marshal's indignation that such a fabrication should be published and sent out, to the detriment of the community. Georgie is above the medium height and of good figure, with dark red hair. In the marshal's office she was neatly dressed. It was learned from her that she was sent at the age of twelve years from the Home of the Friendless, in Baltimore, to Dr.

Murphy, at Port Deposit. She remained in his family until she was eighteen years ot age. She then returned to Baltimore, and was sent by Mrs. Frances Crook to the Maryland Industrial School tor Girls. Shortly afterwards she was apprenticed to Mr.

Ferris, No. 60 Conway until the 16th of May last, when she was reapprentlced to M-r. Almack. It was a few minutes before 9 o'clock Saturday night when she lett Mr. Almack's house.

She had previously been to market, but on coming home had put the basket down and gone off without a word. As she did not come home Saturday night Mr. Almack wrote at once to John W. Cornelius, superintendent of the Industrial School, notifying him of the his contract required him to do. In addition to this, he spent Sunday hunting for her in various places, without success.

He complained of the conduct of the reporters who took her to the house of one of them, Instead of to her own home, which was quite as near to the place where she was encountered as to the reporter's It is evident, however, that this was done to coop the girl in order to make out of her story a sensation for certain newspaper markets. Last night she remained at Mr. Almack's, and will be returned to the Industrial School. Her Saturday night adventures have brought her Into notoriety through the press ot many cities. far as Baltimore city is concerned, it is very easy, even out of her own mouth, to disprove the story with which she gulled two reporters greedy tor items, but Marshal Gray and others realize that very great injustice has been done the cltyr and the police in quarters where the bad impression will not be so easily removed.

It is not the first time that reckless, unfounded and monstrously sensational stuff has been wired as "specials" from Baltimore, but no occasion is remembered where the story has been so wholly untrue as in this case. It is very probable, however, that the quarter from which this yarn emanates will affect to treat the story as another "joke." JLccid.en.ts. Marks Mower, a city cart driver, was kicked in the face by a horse yesterday morning at No. 5 Point lane, cutting his nose, but not dangerously.

Destructive Storm Good Crops Boy Drowned. The severe thunder storm which visited this county Friday night supplied an Installments the rain which has been so much needod for a long time, but In a portion at least ot the county was attended with an Immense volume of largo ball stones, which, drivou before a most violent galo, did great damage wherever tlit'y toll. Tho hall storm was particularly severe in Oxford Neck and across the river as far as tho Koyal Oak. Glass was demolished, fruit trees strip-pod and the corn crop destroyed, cut off level with the ground as if mown with scythes. A great many farmers lost thoir entire crops of peaches and corn, aud Bomeof these were cases ot peculiar hardship, young, hard working farmers, struggling under a weight ot debtand counting upon the ruined crop to relieve them from pecuniary embarrassment.

I have heard ot some twenty or thirty farmers whose places were thus ravaged by the storm. The farmers are busily engaged In thrashing eut their wheat, the general employment of steam taking away much of the old-time dust, delay and fagging from this once heavy task. The crop is a good one, averaging from eight and nine bushels all the way up to twenty for one, the grain being beautifully plump and clean. The corn crop is backward, but has a good color and is growing well; a good soaking rain, however, is much needed. Peaches are beginning to go forward to your market, the Hale's Early being now quite ripe.

The crop, however, will not be a large one. There is a great deal of spirit and enterprise amongst our Talbot farmers, who are determined to hold their own ns wheat growers with any community in the world. One ot our farmers Uils year had 700 acres of wheat under his own tillage, besides what his tenants raised tor him on shares. Near Easton Point, a boat containing several colored boys swamped, and one of them, Louis Peck, aged 14 years, being unable to swim, was drowned.

The people of this neighborhood were alarmed late yesterday evening by the falling of uncommonly large hailstones. Many wore fully the size of a hen's egg. It foil fast for half an hour. The country for several miles around has been seriously affected. The corn crop is badly injured Even the stalks, in many places, are cut off.

In the orchards the ground is covered with green fruit. People feared the stock in the fields would be killed. Hundreds ot window lights were broken out. The trees were robbed of much of their foliage. The excitement was intense.

Women and children wept, and some screamed with terror. Throe peals ot thunder never eo loud left several stunned. jxAn alarm ot fire was given from the Carrol-flonk boarding rfxouse on Thursday night, by reason of a lamp being thrown over, breaking it, and spilling the oil.

Considerable excitement was created in this city last night by the tumbling down of a large stone building, known as the old jail, and occupied by a number of colored families.

The shrieks and groans of the occupants of the house caused almost the entire population to assemble, but an examination disclosed the fact that no one was either killed or seriously injured. One infant was found in bed, nearly smothered with laths and mortar, and an old colored man went down from an upper room in the midst of falling walls, with a child In his arms, and both escaped with but slight lnj uries. The building has been long regarded as Insecure, and should have been condemned. LOCAL. MATTERS.

Colored People's Reunion Accident to an Excursionist. There was a mammoth picnic reunion of the Sunday schools and members ot the A. M. E. churches of Baltimore, Washington, Alexandria and other places yesterday at Irving Park, Baltimore and Ohio railroad.

Special and other trains leaving Camden Station carried about 5,000 persons, the ma Jorltyof whom were adults, and the trains from Washington conveyed over 4,000 people from that city and the surrounding country. There was no long programme ot formal exercises, but good order prevailed throughout the day. Rev. J. W.

Beckett, a presiding elder of the colored conference, was present and contributed greatly to the enjoyment ot the occasion, especially by his singing, which is considered remarkable even among tho many excellent singers ot his race. Thos. Price, one of the excursionists from Unlontown, near Washington, concluded to come on to Baltimore, and whilst the cars were passing Bridewell (House of Correction) he attempted to step from the platform of one car to another, and fell from the train, which was stopped immediately. It was discovered that Price's right leg was broken Just above the ankle. He was brought to Camden Station and attended by Dr.

Clagett, and subsequently sent to Washington on the 3.05 P. M. train. JAcenne JievoJced.Tho XT. 8.

local board of steam vessel inspectors, Messrs. Lowry and Savllle, yesterday gave a decision in the case of Capt. Leonard, growing out of a collision between the steamers Enoch Pratt and George-anna, June 23, in Choptank river. The inspectors had previously suspended the license of Capt. Leonard for thirty days, but reopened the case to hear new evidence.

The inspectors now decide as follows "Upon a reexamination of the collision case ot steamers Enoch Pratt and Georgeanna the evidence clearly develops the fact that the Georgeanna left Cambridge in advance of the Enoch. Pratt, and maintained said position up to the time of rounding the buoy and colliding, and that the master and pilot ot steamer Enoch Pratt violated rule 11 tor the government of pilots in falling to give the necessary signals required under said rule; also with failing to observe section 4413 Revised Statutes, thereby subjecting himself to a line of $50, which we will bring suit in the U. S. District Court to recover. We therefore revoke the license of Edward T.

Leonard as master and pilot of steam vessols." An appeal to the supervising inspector will probably be made by Capt. Leonard, who as a commander of Chesapeake steamboats is well-known to the traveling public.

Washington, July u.

The executive committee ot the national board of health invites the attention of all State and municipal authorities and sanitary organizations to the fact that they should without delay endeavor to secure tho best sanitary condition ot the places and people under their charge. Whatever opinions may be hold as to causes of yellow fever, and of the recent appearance of that disease in Tennessee and Mississippi, it is best to. act as if it were disease due to a specific particular cause which is capable of growth and reproduction, may be destroyed by exposure to temperatures' above 240 degrees Fahrenheit, or by chemical disinfectants ot sufficient strength If brought into immediate contact. It is also prudent to assume that the growth and reproduction of this cause are connected with the presence of filth, in the sanitary sense of that word, including decaying organic matter and defective ventilation, as well as of high temperature. The cases of yellow fever recently observed should be considered as duo to causes surviving from last year's epidemic, and not to recent Importation from other countries.

It follows that there is a liability to the appearance of other cases iu places visited by the epidemic of last year, and that there is danger of the spread ot the disease to the North and East. In a previous circular this board has advised as to the means which should be adopted, so far as the usual channels of transportation are concerned, to prevent the spread of the disease. The object of the present circular is to advise that all cities, towns and villages be at once made clean In a sanitary point ot view. The first step towards securing the cleanliness is to obtain reliable information as to what parts of the place are clean and what foul. The results of a careful sanitary Inspection of almost any city or town will show the existence of collections of decaying and offensive matters previously unknown, and which every one will admit should be promptly removed and destroyed.

Such Inspection, to be of value, must be thorough, and made by persons competent to recognize foul soils, water and air, as well as the grosser and more palpable forms of nuisance. They should also be made by persons who would report tully and frankly the results of their observations, without reference to the wishes of persons or corporations. When the whereabouts and the extent of the evil is known, the remedy is usually almost self-evident. The national board of health will furnish, upon request, blank forms as a guide for such inspections. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

From Our Wall Street Correspondent. New York, July 14. The wrek opens on an easy money market, the supply being abundant at 3Xa3 per cent, and there is a feeling at the moment that the July treasury settlement will pass over without any great disturbance to the market. Later on, when preparations for the fall trade commence and the crops begin to be handled, we may reasonably look for an upward move in the rates. The government bond market at the calls Is quiet and steady, but outside there is considerable buying on the part of the banks in exchange for 10-40S.

Probably $5,000,000 4s have been thus taken since this day week. The 4s sold to-day at 101 for registered and coupons, while the 4Js were about 105; coupon 5s of '81 sold at 103 and that bid afterward by the same house that sold them. The exchanges on Europe are quiet but generally steady. London is 4.86X and 4.88 less asked, with business at 4.85Xa4.85X, and 4.87)$a4.8734. Some of the drawers call the market firm and others weak.

Bar silver is cabled with little on the market. In miscellaneous bonds Lehighs advanced 2 per to 72, with more doing than for a long while past. Jersey Central consolidated sold at SoaQS, and the convertible up to 98. Also sales $2,000 Iron Mountain lsts at 116; $1,000 Districts at 81 $2,000 Missouri 6s, '87, at 105; $18,000 Union Pacific at $1,000 East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia lsts at 100; $10,000 Kansasand Texas lsts at 70; $2,000 do. 2d 3 at 30 $10,000 Missouri Pacific 2ds at 107 $53,000 Rome and Ogdensburg at 68 $20,000 new Erie 2is at 16 $10,000 7s at 1112 Kansas and Nebraska 2ds at 22; St.

Joe and Pacific lsts at 60, and 1,000 Ohio and Mississippi s. f. at 112. The total amount of 4 per cent, certificates received at the treasury for conversion Into the 4 per cent, bonds to date is $31,500,000. Lbuislanas were dull and fell to 43 on a letter from a Louisiana member of Congress to the effect that the debt question was by no means settled, and that a scaling might yet be ventured upon.

Cotton tell 12al4 points compared with Saturday, caused by a dull feeling on the exchange, aud rather more favorable reports from the crop, though It Is announced from Georgia that the top cotton Is being forced out too early by the draught. 1 Erie and Western Union were the heavy shares to-day, while the rest of the market was steady to firmer. St. Paul, Northwest, Central Michigan and Lake Shore were still the favorites. Western Union was sold down to 89, against 92 on Saturday, but rallied to 90)i.

Ohios were firm all day, and no stock pressing, 200 Marietta and Ohio 1st preferred sold at 3. Iron Mountain strong, and all odd lots picked up at about 26. Wabash weak, and Kansas Northern steady, but without Its recent snap. Louisville and Nashville was not plenty on the floor, and. sold up to seller 3, receding at the close to 663.

Michigan Central was put out at 76, seller 60, while selling at 77 regular. New Jersey Central sold at the close at 51 a decline. Lehigh bonds also lost per sales at 71. Rio Grandes brought 92a91. The Virginia Kecatta at Fredericks burg-.

Treating: Child with Chloroform A lonbtfnl Case.

New York, July 14.r Coronor Woltman this afternoon held au inquest in the case ot Oscar Manzel, aged 4 years, of 207 East Seventy-second street, who, it was claimed, died from tho effects of chloroform, administered by Dr. O. S. Gregory, of Seventy-first street and Third avenue. The child was taken sick on the night of July 7, and Dr.

Gregory was called. When the Doctor arrived at the house the child was in convulsions. Chloroform was ordered, and the child was given a warm bath, and it is here that the claim of malpractice comes in. The parents claim that after the bath the child had no convulsions, but seemed to improve, while the Doctor maintains that the child had several convulsions. About an ounce of chloroform was used upon the child, and the father says he asked Dr.

Gregory to stop using the chloroform, but he refused to do so. Dr. Morrill, of 207 East Seventy-second street, was called, but when he readied the house the child was dead. Dr. Morrill stated that, from bis knowledge of the case, he would not have used chloroform.

The post mortem made by Dr. Cushman showed all of the child's organs to be in a healthy condition. The Jury, composed mostly of medical men, rendered a double verdict four ot them giving thoir belief that the child died from the effects of chloroform accidentally administered, and two that the cause of death was convulsions.

Wheat Committee of the Cora and amongst property owners is a preliminary "feeler" on the subject, giving him just the points of vulnerability in the opposition which he needs to master; and if Keene is on the verge of that golden harvest for himself from that "locking up" of the Western wheat crop for foreign sales which he has been supposed to anticipate, the Chicago newspaper's mysterious report of his recent secret arrivat in and as secret departure from that city in special car will do something towards unnerving anybody meditating a hostile or competitive operation.

THE LONG BBANCH BACES. -In other estates than that of finance the provincial local habit of gossiping certain char acters into a popular aspect of specialized in vincibility seems to have its suggestive effect. If Mr. "Jim" Keene really did appear, as by magic, in Chicago, a few days ago, to instruct his brokers there secretly as to what tbey are to do relative to his wheat investments, he must have returned hither very expeditiously, for he was present at Monmouth Park this week when his horse Spendthrift so easily outstripped Mr. Lorillard's so promising Willful In the Jersey Derby.

It is a part ot Mr. Keene's popular celebration that this Spendthrift ot his is "the grandest horse in the country, sir;" and' even hard-headed turfites have taken the idea so much to heart that only one of them appears to nave the courage to pit another animal against him. Consequently, Spendthrift, like his lucky master, has all his undertakings his own way, principally because he is the present equine favorite ot common tame. It is incredible that the country does not possess several horses able to make Spendthrift extend himself, as the phrase is, to the fullest extent of his power, and there surely must be stables competent to give that of the Lorillards something like an even contest. The old McDaniels Confederacy, with all its Jockey tricks, gave us tar more spirited and even-sided sport for our money than we ever see now.

Where there was a Longfellow then there was a Harry Bassett, and where there was a Bassett there was a Monarchist. Evidently our gentlemen turfites lack the nerve ot the Harpers, McGraths and Santords, and yield too easily to the prestige, however acquired, el a few speedy beasts of celebrated ownership. Spendthrift became a terror to them from the time when artful gossip anticipated the importation of an English Derby colt to meet him, and the Lorillard string has a climax ot reflected glory in men's eyes from the foreign victories of Parole. A kind of snobbish nervousness seems to possess our horsemen for the nonce, and it tells at Long Branch, as previously at Jerome Park. MIDSCMMEB FASHIONABLE MODES.

"All In the midsummer weather," when the Increasing heat begins to thin out the crowds in our streets, it is natural that novelties In the way of fashions should be mostly of a kind suited to watering place, or at least out-of-town wear. And accordingly there is a great variety of "shade" hats to be seen Just now, many of them "shade" hats only in name, but all ot them delicate, dainty bits of the milliner's handiwork. The most popular shape is probably the "Carmen." It has a wide, flaring brim, and is generally covered with shirred white organdie, and trimmed with a bunch of field flowers In gay colors. Other shapes, too, are covered and adorned in the same way, as white organdie and India muslin are great favorites this year. Some pretty hats, of a more expensive character, are Leghorn, with long scarfs of white India muslin loosely twisted about the crown: such scarfs are edged with plaitlngs of lace, and have a very light, graceful effect.

For ordinary country wear the height ot elegance is a hat made from the material ot the outdoor costume, whatever it be, and ladies save the little pieces of their washable dresses to make hats of. Thus each dress has its corresponding hat, as well as parasol, and, quaintest of all, its fan. Suits of pale ecru satteenor blue gingham are exceedingly pretty and becoming; batiste In almost any color is also pretty made In this way. Lingerie must match the rest of these peculiar toilets, and the newest collars and cuffs are made ot gingham In solid colors, with the rolling English points turned to show the white lining; these points are usually embroidered in narrow stripes and in the tint ot the gingham. Bathing suits are "in season" now, as the marketmen say, and It is certain that there is a decided Improvement visible in the way of making them this year.

For young ladies very light delicate shades are used, such as pale blue, ecru and even white twilled flannel. A favorite model shows the waist and trousers made in one garment, somewhat on the plan of a child's suits, or of a "dress reform" arrangement, with a separate skirt made of three straight breadths buttoned on at the waist. There is an attempt to introduce the foreign fashion of short-sleeved bathing suits, and where the arm is plump and white it is certainly very becoming to a young girl, but it is hardly likely to meet wltn general favor. Much elaborate braiding is seen on these suits, and always of a contrasting color; the slippers should be of canvas or white duck embroidered to match, and the outfit is completed by a long cloak, to be worn on leaving the water, or by a simple waterproof. The true bathing cloak is usually made of white Turkish toweling, and may be used for a sleeping-room neglige at home.

A novelty in dress trimming is a narrow flounce which Is set on the bottom of the skirt, apparently falling from under it; this Is always composed of silk, and is of a color distinct from the dress Itself, but appearing somewhere in the garniture, or at leant in the hat. It is very "dressy" and looks much as If the under petticoat were all of silk. The panier gains ground slowly, and Is as yet only a suggestion ot the old-time bouffant style, but if the news from Paris is to be believed there is a prospect of the revival at no distant day of the long, slim-pointed waist and the bulging amplitude below, which all the world knows so well in pictures of the past. Alas for people whose waists refuse to be long and slim when this ugly mode becomes again a fixed factl Mantles, or the myriad pretty trifles so named by courtesy, have become almost necessary adjuncts of handsome costumes. The newest things of the kind are the Spanish shawl, a scarf of black lace, three yards long and three-quarters of a yard deep, to be worn as a coiffure, like the genuine Spanish mantilla not in the street, ot course, but at watering places, on the hotel piazzas and the fichu-mantelet, of white Breton lace, with graceful patterns In floriated style, to be thrown about the shoulders for day receptions or similar occasions.

Parasols for full dress grow more and more elaborate and costly; they are often embroidered with chenille and edged with marabout fringe, while the sticks are marvels at delicate carving in wood or ivory. Jewelry is more in favor for dav wear and over plain high-necked dresses. Necklaces of real pearls are worn, especially with corsages open at the neek, and in Paris something decidedly new has lately appeared iu the way of a necklace consisting of several rows of small pearls in delicately contrasting shades, such as pink and gray. Truly the French are a wonderful people! A MARINE WONDER. The Interesting pageantry of the bay just now involves the whole scale ot marine architecture, from the towering man-of-war to the smallest cockle-shell of a sloop-yacht that ever put to sea.

Swinging to their anchors off the Battery remain the great French iron-clad, the "tSallesoniere," and her smaller consort, on a vacation from Martinique and the yellow fever. Flying the admiral's broad pennant, the greater vessel, with her hull painted white and her deck completely housed-ln with snowy awnings, looks like a three-masted and nearly submerged Ueberg. Our ewa historical "Kear-earge" is a trim contrast to the ram-shaped Frenchmen; but In greater contrast with all big ships is the tiny "Little Ida" ocean yacht, ot Baltimore, sailed by her captain (Haffckej and one assistant, yet stanch enough to have gone from your city to the Mexican coast by the "outside route" without accident. This smallest of sea-boats, made of galvanized Iron, measures but eighteen feet from stem to stern, and about a third ef that in width. She has been cruising in Southern waters for a whole year past, white her captain ana crew (a North Carolinian named Goverman) explored, fished or bunted, as their bumor dictated, and now she is resting here a few days preparatory to the home-etretch back to Baltimore.

Secretary Sherman went on a tour of Inspection to-day down the Delaware on the United States revenue cutter Hamilton, accompanied by members of the Maritime Exchange. Speaker Randall, Mayor Stokley and many other leading citizens, in eluding railroad and bank presidents.

After the party on board, which numbered about sixty, had partaken of refreshments, Mr. Wm. Brockio, president of the Maritime Exchange, called a meeting and introduced the secretary, who spoke in glowing terms of the results of the resumption of specie payments. In the course of his remarks he said "I am very hopeful of the future progress of our country. We are happily situated compared with other countries.

We have a broad, uncultivated area of land that has never been broken by the plow. We have mines, compared with the enormous value of which the vaunted mines ot Peru were poor and scant. The Corn-stock lode and others are greater than anything iu the history of the Two years ago labor was suffering in the principal cities of this country. Men were afraid that our institutions could not stand the strain and would break down, and that a period of depression greater than that In England, France or Germany had come. People were suffering, and could not get work, and discontent reigned supreme.

Some went to uncultivated lauds in the West, others went away, and migration finally equalized the demand and supply of labor, until now in two years I believe there Is not any part of the United States where honest labor cannot get an honest day's work, and honest money to pay for It." A number ot other gentlemen also made speeches. After the party had landed, Secretary Sherman remained on the Hamilton, which, soon after departed for New York. The Secretary will breakfast at Cape May to-morrow morning, and will probably dine at Long Branch at noon. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Row Among: Excursionists A Ciirl Shot. Washington, July 14.

Upon the arrival of the last train from Irving Park, at Annapolis Junction, to-night, where the colored Methodists had an excursion to-day, a fight took place between two colored men, named John Becket and David Polntdexter. When about one hundred yards from the depot Becket fired a pistol at Polntdexter, missing him, but striking his niece, Rosalie Loe, aged ten, on the head, Inflicting what the physician says will prove to be a fatal wound before morning. Becket, who is a steamboat hand, although chased for over a mile, had escaped arrest up to midnight. There were five thousand excursionists from Washington city, and over six thousand more there from Baltimore and Annapolis and the surrounding country. It is reported there were several fights there to-night, and that a colored woman from Baltimore was shot, but this is not confirmed.

Some of the men on the train to this city fought from the time they left there until they arrived here. Latest Telegraphic Summary.
