[Halrlmore lierai 1.1 In Baltimore comparatively little atten? tion has been given to th? city-??wnership of SBel-'i-trii'-light'Uf?; plant. Tho subject is looked upon as an Interacting one, ?nd as having a praetioal bearing upon the economy of lighting city streets, but as yet it has attracted nothing moro than a desultory and tentativo discussion. The matter is referred to now and then by city ?ftVials : it ha? also furnished inspiration for a few address???, and a few Baltimore writer?BSV? elucidated the topic in tho newspaper? her? and ?bwwbere, Mayor Davidson'? reference to the nib. {set in his last message wa? the most seri? ous effort that has been male to bring tho matter forward a? a practical ?asue te Bal? timore, In a?liort paragraph the Mayor favored the munict|?al ownership and con? trol of an cl'-ctri-al lighting plant, and arged the f?*?siaility of the ?eheme upon ground? of economy and progreas. It is clear that this short statement has given the ?ubjeet a proaiteenoa which it did not _ f f.. |, n But. while this matter is only in a pre? liminary stille of Agitation te Baltimore, the ?ame cannot be ??id of it elsewhere. In Chicago three electric-lighting plants aro owned by the city andare in oct i ve ope? ration. Two of them were built in 1?'?1, but tlie three saved th? city ?>?, 1,000 in elec? tric li?hte last year, and Mayor ('regier ???? ? lares that not only electricity, but gas should be manufactured bv tho city, not only for its own needs, but for privato citi? zens as welL "Chicleo supplies her citi? zens with water. She provides channels for drainage, and it is equally proper that ?he should furnish her citizens with light for household purposes as well a? for pub li'? use." From this it will be ?eon that the problem has passed even beyond ex periment in tho Queen City. In Massachusetts this subject was made a matter of special investigation by the Committee on Manufactures of tlie Bay? State Lecislature. Avastam?unt of tes? timony was taken, and it was finally ma?le eli ar that an enabling act oupht to bo pasaea empowering every municipality in Ihe State t?> sequve or establish it? own ga? and electric plants at tho pleasure of ita citize.is. In Kichmoud tho city owns a gas-plant, and while it has not yielded largo revenu??? oser and ?bove expenses, yet tho munici? pality secures strietJight at cost, and tho revenues ore increasing at the rate of $10,000 a year. Mayor Kllyson, In bis re? cent message, declare? his confidence in the utility of the plan, urges a reduction iu the price of gas. and states that tho success attending the gas experiment war? rants the immediate establishment of an d''trieitl-lightin?,' plant by the city. From these facts it will be seen that tho municipal ownership of light-producing plants is a subject which will bear investi? gation, and the question of ?Adopting scheme? similar to thoso in Chicago ami Iticbmond will be before the people here for decision in the early future. A Point In l'olitene??. Ualilmore American. An old man who was tired was resting in a corner seat of a horse-car. All the space on both sides was occupied by ladies, some of whom were sitting sideways and oo? cupying en??ugh mom for two people. When a lady ?entered the car the old man got up and said, with great courtesy : "Madame, I dislike to give up my place while so many of your own sex are fiatati?? ing you of a seat, but you are a lady and must sit down." The other ladies instant? ly sat closor together, and two or three people were enabled to find places to rest. Tnia remark many people will say was brutal, especially as it was uttered by a man. But was it? Waa it not proper, ??,en in so public a vehicle as a horse-car, for this man to rebuke those who didn't, have sufficient courtesy to be sa polite to one of their own ?ox as they would de? mand that a man should be to them, espe? cially when the rebuker. an old man. was made to suffer personally because others didn't choose to exercise common-sense y The question that presents itself i? this: Was it better for nim as a gentleman to givo up his seat quietly, without a word or a look to betray lus feelings, and let these ladies continue to occupy space they were not entitled to and didn't pay for to the discomfort of others, or to incur the risk of being voted a brute by those he courte? ously reminded of their breach of pro? priety? If women will not respect the feelings and opinion? of their own aex, is it strictly just tor tbem to complain of so-called breaches in decorum on the part of men in a matter of this sort, where one sex isquite as much bound to have regard for the rights of its own members as for those of tne op? posite aex ? It may be urged that this wa? an example of thoughlessnees, and Btsib? ably it waa, but it is just that sort of thoughtlessneee that well-bred people are not guilty of. " it is the little foxea," say? Solomon, "that ?poil the vines." True courtesy, real politeness, has but one stand? ard. It la the same| thin?/ toward people of all ?exes aud of all conditions.

Al?o, it is ?n expensive trifle and an acces? sory to the ?easonablo outing toilet that ie by no means tho smallest item in the totaL Mo?t of the new parasol? ?re white, con H*ting of white net ?nd white lace. The combination? of theM diaphanous mate | rial? are innumerable. On one parasol the lace form? merely a deep edging: on an? other it appear? in the form of a narrow border and small centre currounding the stick. A third specimen show? ?lternate ra dtstillg si'r-tiotH of dotted white net and white lace. On a fourth the net appears in the form of fluted divisions radiating from tho centre. , Sometimes black lace is combined with white gauz? or surah, forming either a border or other trimming. Atom m SPICTXTEK. Ono handsome parasol is altogether of black lace, surrounded toward the edge with a number of concentric linee?perhaps twelve or fifteen?ot narrow No. 1 lavender ribbon woven in and out of tho mesh. On a parasol of white Bilk a centrepiece and small semi-circle sections between the rib? are inserted of black lace. The stick? are ?hort?verv much shorter than tboM of last year. The handle is either a mere unornemental continuation of the stick and ther-foro of natural wood, or it con? sist? of a small fi cure of Dresden china. These little porcelain figures are especially favored. One's evening fan is a dainty and deli? cate trifle of white or black lain, con? taining a centre panel exquisitely painted with a design of flowers or Cupids in I/onis XV. st vie. The sticks are very slender and are usually of ivory, inlaid with gold. A TEA-OOWS. A recent tea-gown, which presented something of a change from prevailing in.?dels, was of palo m ai ?

The mate? rial was brought in a thick fold from the left shoulder aero?? to the right hm. on 111? point of which it appeared to be caught, tl o skirt f-illmtr in loose lengths, being en trniw. The sleove? were of the 1 n?'-.-linging "angel" pattern, revealing the ?ruis very prettily when raised. A feature of the new woollen? is tho pre? valence of patterns in rough finish <>n tho ?mooth-siiriu 'd cloths, Theae patterns consist of ?mall isolated scallops, circles, dots, equares, of palm-leave?, contrasting the ground tint, and, where the body of the inntcriril i? smooth, the fipire? present hairv effects. This is especially noticeable op tate camel's hairs. Those goods omo m large cross-bar effects, the bars rough and tho equares finished. A NEW LEASE OF LTTT, The Louis XV. ooat has taken a new lease of life and will be the stylish ?tro-t wrap of tho spring season. One of the banoaomeet d? tigna G have noticed was in a fawn-colored faced cloth?a fabric woven with a rich embroidered border. H broidery, which was in colored eilks, was about twolvo inches deep and tl bad been so utilized in making the gar? ment that this embroidered portion cover? ed the upjier portion of the waist and the lower halves of the sleeves, producing a novel and altogether charming mult. I'nderneath was a vest of gray silk abso? lutely covered with gray silk braid and cut steel ISMMWinenloil? A CAi-T. BBESSB, A novel cap? design extends the garment, which has heretofore not come much be? low th? elbows, down below the waist. The appearance of theM new capes is not altogether graceful, and they appear to lo a kind of cross between tapes and man? tles, but they appear likely to enjoy popu? larity as the s? asi.n udvauees. Por children they show quaint street frocks of cloth in plain colorines, which aro made with yokes and very full sleeves of fancy surahs. THE ? RRIEKs' SXAH0N.

The side-wheel steamer Havana, for many years running on the ?Ork River Line, ha? been sold, and she left VYoodaU's ?hip-vard at 10:15 o'clock yes. terday morning for New York. The Ha? vana was purchased from the Potomac ? rausportation Company by Heinrich Schroeder, Clans ana Johau Weicht, of New York, to be run n? an excursion boat out of New Turk to the fishing banks. The ? ? is said to have been *15, 000. Havana, although old. is in (v.ry respect sound. the best material and workmanship hav? ing been used in her construction. She wa? built at Greenpoint, N. Y.. in Iseo, by John English, to run outsido between Philadelphia and New York. She was soon afterward? sold to run in the Gulf of Mexico, between Cedar Keys and New Or? leans. In the latter part of the sixties the Havana was bought by Mr. Thomas Clyde for the York-ltiver Line, and the price paid wm tlOO.000. Tho Havana ran regularly on the line nntil about two years ago. She first had, u her consort, the steamer Louiee. Mr. Ruben Poster, the general manager of the Hue, seeing that v?asela with heavier f reight-carrying capacity were needed, had the steamship Danville built ?t Woodail'?. Tho company was so well pleased with the Danville that the Haltimore wm soon afterwards built. The Louiee had been sold to the Tolehester Company, and the Havana was laid off as a spare boat. About eighteen months ago another fine steam? ship was added to the floeL in the Char lotto, and the liue had no further use for the Havana. A ?hort time before the Charlotte was completed the company was offered tlO.OOO for the Havana, but it vu not a case of money, and ?be was held as an emergency boot until the Charlotte was tied up at the mammoth docks and ware? house of the company, ou Light street. The Havana was transferred as an extra boat to the Potomao Transportation Line, a branch of the ?ork-Kiver or Clyde Line system. About a week ?ago the Potomac Transportation Une sold the ?teamer Sue aud the right? of the route to Mr. Charle? It. Lewi?, of Hog-Island fame. The Havana has a ship? frame and is one of the beat fittod-up boats for the purpose of which ?he wm bought on the Atlantio coast. Cantam lieebe takes the Havana around to Now York. The Board of Director? of the York River Line, at ? meeting yesterday, ap? pointed Edward J. Cbunn general freight and passenger ?gent, to succeed tbe late Mr. George Needham. Mr. Chum bM been filling the position ?ine? last July, when Mr. Needham was taken ill. and had to retire. Mr. Chism is ? young man, pro? bably thirty-five years of age, and he ha? won hi? promotion by loug years of ser? vice. He went unto the office of tbe York River Line ai in office-boy, riling to ? clerkship, ind some time ago became auditor.

Stitee senators, and Mr. George deeire? to ? be his own ?ucoaeaor. lie ha* iust pub? j lished a letter written in answer to quee *JJ?n? propounded to him and Senator Yvalthall by ? committee represent? ing the l armors' Alliance of the State of Mississippi concerning his views a? to the constitutionality of th? ?rib-Treasury plan. The Senator doclares that he considers the plan un?;onst, tiitional because the Constitution doe? not delegate Cm gres? ?nd the Government either tho p?,wer to Jen?! money or to en? gage in privato business, as would be de? manded by tho propose?! sub-Treasury plan. He also declares that the purpose? for which the Federal Government wns in? stituted aro incompatible with the work? ings of such a scheme ?a the sub-Treasury plan. Senator George believes that the proposed legislation would be injurious both to the farmers and the country. To tho country, because it would eutail an expense which would bankrupt it, and to the farmers, because it would lead them to ?tiro disaster and financial ruin by overturning all the laws of supply and do? mami, which can alone regulate prices. Senator George finally believes the scherno entirely impra? tieable ami impassible of realization. Ho expresses his deep interest in the welfare of the farmers, which he contends would bebest subserved by good, honest, fair, economical, and impartial government, tbe lessening of taxation, and the removal of obstacle? to free markets all ever the world for American prodncts, together with the fre? coinage of silver and gold._ COLONEL CODY GETS HIS INDIANS. Mr. Margan Find? He Is ?lot m nigger Man Than Mr. Noble. Indian-Commissioner Morgan has discov? ered once moro that he is not a bigger man than the Secretary of tho Interior. Some? body started the ?tory last fall that tho Indian? who had been taken abroad by Colonel William F. Cody to take part in the " Wild Went " had peon badly treated and w.re surrounded by degrading in flnencc?. A? so??n as Colonel C?>ly, better known as"buffalo Hill." beard of this talk he rounded uu his Indian?, who were in win? ter-quarters at ?Strasburg, and brou;ht them to Washington to give Commissioner Morgan an ocular demonstration ot the falsity of the report. It was an expensive undertaking. When tho Indians r?a?'hed Washington Colonel Cody sought an inter? view with Morgan. To nie surprise the Commissioner kept him waiting from day today, and it was not until Buffalo Bill had secured tho active help of a promi? nent Cabinet ofrlcjr that he was able to bring hie troop before tho Commissnincr. Tlun the Indian troubl??? bToke out in the V>? si, and at tho solicitation of tho au. thorities Cod* and bis friendly Indians Tino bids?.? and did good service: for the GovernnienL Hut when the ?"olonel got ready to ?sko h'.s Indians buck to Europe ho found a largesised ?nag in his way. Commissioner Morgan flatly refnaad to Demiit ? single red man to leave the reservation. Ho had bneti told that the Indian? did not have proper -urroundingB abroad, and he con? sidered it much better that they ?hotild re? mimi ?m the reservation thun bo ?lemoral Ised by foreigu travel. No amount of evidence that Colonel Cody eould produoe, including tin?' of many leading Americans who had seen th? show in h'urope, could affect Commissioner Mor pin, DOT would he listeu to tho recommen ? of Indian agents and Om? ral Miles and C 'linei For? y the that it would be the best v?uy to prevent a renewal of troubles hi th?? apriDg to let Cody take a hundred of the Sioux out of the country. Ib? He? bra! kas"tiators and representatives joined g to induce Morgan to issue the ? -, but the only result wa-it" sail out. an order from Morgan for the arrest of auy agent of (*xly who tried to take an ludiun away from the reservation. It had cost Colonel Codv a good many thousand dollars to bring his hundred In? dian? to the Inited States and take care of them here, and then to havo them sudden? ly corralled by the Ind.an Commission, r after their return passage had been paid for wns a little uishearteuiug. Oolonel Cody has been here a week working hard to prevent the destruction of his ehow by Morgan's arbitrary act. The mat? ter was finally lai?l beforo Secretary Noble, and to-dav the Secretary over ruled tb?

J. WILKES BOOTH'S DOUBLE. Testimony of an Army Surgeon Who Sew It.nit li Illirici. A Wheeling special ?ays : The story tel?v. graphed from Chicago regarding the re? markable resemblance of the late J. G. Armstrong, of Atlanta, Ga., formerly of thisraty. toJ. Wilkes Sooth, the assassin of President Lincoln, is not a new one here. While Armstrong was pastor of St. Mathtw'? church here he was firmly be? lieved to be Booth and many people in Wheeling ?till belii'Ve it. Dr. A. II. ihayer, of Grafton, who was a surgeon in the army ?luring the war, and who assisted at the autopsy on Booth's body and suw it subse?iuently buried, de? clares that there is no grouud Cor tho be? lief outsido of tho personal resemblance, which, he add?, was remarkable. Ho pro? nounce? the dcb'Tiption of Armstrong in t h? ( 'lncago story correct. Armstrong and Booth might easily havo been t.iken for twin brothers, he says, and the fact that Armstrong bad great dramatic talent, and had a gunshot-wound in the leg and u scar on the neck, strengthened the belief that ho was booth, ????? among people who knew tho latter. Dr. Thayer, however, sets nil doubts at rest. Armstrong'? his? tory was known by Wheeling people. Ho was a native of Scoti ?nd HE RAISED A CHECK. Ile Alto ? lai m?. I the Money on It?HI? Ingratitude.

A DISCUeSrON AS TO WHETHER THEY SOMETIMES TALK TOO MUCH. Type? of \v?m?n Who M??? ? Tlnsln???? of Over.Talk liJC-Tont-t.es Mar BlMt Matrimoniai Chano??. Th?t women talk more th?n men is eer tiin. That men converse better thau women is more certain still. Very few women have atteined to that highest form in conversation in which ?o many men have graduated with distinction. To talk is not to converse, and, a? rule, women may be roughly classed as mere chatterers. Tbo very best orator among women will not equal the second-best orator among men. Nature, prejudice, training all have forbidden it. Nor do I think that, every restriction being removed, and even prejudice overcome, women will ever excel in this line. It is not their line. They are too emotional, too excitable, too liable to be carried away by the sentiment of the moment. That they are well-meaning is beyond doubt, but their meanings are many and variousand uncontrolled. When I My that, even overcoming prejudice, they will not succeed as public speakers, 1 say a greet deal ; for prejudice dice hard, aud to kill it take? time. ?OT ALL CTIATTEREBS. , Of course, to declare all women mere chatterer? would be abeunL Yet it ie the few, not tho m?ny, who must be exempt from this title. "Tho few" belong to the the salt of the earth, so far a? the women are concerned?to the clever ones, th? deeply read, the thoughtful. "The many" to the le-ao/neeply read -the light hearted, tho genial. There is a third claas, certainly, but on it why dwell? It comes under the head of the "dull one"?that 1?, the woman who is always silent, because??ad fact'?she has nothing to say; who would speak if she could, but she can't; the woman who site ou a lounge all night and seems to find great moral support in the opening and ?hutting of her fan, and who is distracted if the tail of her gown is not properly posed. Wt nil know this woman. As a rule she is beautiful?to look at. To be forever at high pressure with only hi?h thought? and high designa to sustain on??, to never condescend to things of low est nt.??surely this if eventually to know defeat. How pleasant tor a change are tho trivial things of oarth, the light gayetta?? to exchange for the musty tomo the soft, ?railing lip, the dainty touch, tbe in? vitation to sit beside ono on tho low satin lounge. (?iris who wish to make thomsolves at? tractive, especially to tin? opposite sex, sometimes talk too much, som.?; inn?? too little. It would be a difficult mutter tod?? olde as t... which is tho more at fault, but I sheuld say the ono who talked too much. Fi.r men, above and beyond all other ani? mals, liko to hear thiir own voices. The f:irl who will sit quietly beside them, qui? t v but sympathetically, with on? word thrown in for their hundred;!),and that to the point, will in the long run bo esteemed by them above all others. Therefore the girl who, bent ou matrimonial design*. talks too much to her would-be lover is almost assured of failure. MAT TALK TO M ?1.HI! H Mrs?. To the married man a woman may talk a? much as she likes: to the bachelor a girl may not talk as much as she likes. She must even be contented to let him talk, while, ?ho looks on and admires, or pretends to do so. It is uot so terrible an ordeal as it appears; it has its revenges. Having listened uutil tho last prayer at th'? wedding? ceremony is completed, she may then (.liko the worm! turn and declare herself the ono to be listened to for the remainder of her existence. There is ono style of women who un? doubtedly, liko tho children, should be seen ?nd not heard. 1 hi? is the loud, tho tMt. the horsey specimen, of whom provi? dentially there are as yet but few. The loss we hear of them the better, and of tho ii?rieking sisterhood who would make all texe? alike, or going even further vote for the reduction of uiau to pulp, of them what is to be ?aid ? Decidedly such women talk too much, or rather they givo too much place to twad? dle, tor to believe seriouely tn the theories they promulgato would bo impossible. Not content with <??-. ? the ?uin idea o? making woman equal with man they go a step fur? ther, and try to make ft** superior to him. The very striving toward this unattainable point only proves the weakness of the woman. Home i? the proper sphere for her; tin re let her talk as much as over she likes, so long ns her words are feafooable and reasonable. The girl has a great deal in her hands, but the wifo haa a great deal more. Ht price should be ab.iv? ruble?. Let her talk at home-, but let hor talk be to tho purpose. Let it bo to the comfort, the consolation, the help, the delight of her husband. The Due?as?. Deaths In Oar ?rest Citte?. lioston Herald.
