York COURT trains sloped to a point like a bird's tail are worn with the pointed bodices of evening dresses. NEW clasps to fasten cloaks are wooden musks with open mouths; other clasps are animais' heads of bronze or silver. JEAN BAPTISTE cloth is the French name for a new camel's hair cloth that is as soft as India chuddah, but has a rough finish. WHITE and gray doves are the favorite birds for autumn hats for' girls. They are also worn on the corsage, amid the bouquet of flowers.

FRUIT designs, such as strawberries, plums and pears, are on the newest brocades; horseshoe patterns are of raised velvet on a corded surface. NETWORK of silk cords with drooping tassels is used to give the appearance of vests and aprons on French dresses- of corded Sicilienne and velvet. muffs of dark feathers have two birds' heads -one head split- for ornamenting the front. A collar to match has another pair of heads on the left shoulder. capes of sealskin, and trimsame fur, are used on darkgreen and brown cloth dresses.

Otter borders and capes are very stylish for velvet and silk dresses. THE plaited flounces on black satin skirts made for winter have the inner plaiting of terra-cotta or strawberry-red instead of the white stripes so fashionable for summer dresses. LARGE clasps of steel or gilt! play great part in fashions nowadays. They are used to trim hats, shoes, dress bodices and cloaks, and to drape tunics or to ornament the -bow on the back. JERSEY wool gloves very long and without buttons are made in ail shades: to match cloth dresses, and are so well shaped that they fit the hand as neatly as Suede kid gloves do.

BROAD-BRIMMED picturesque bats laden with ostrich plumes are worn by young ladies because their coquettish curves and waves are more becoming than the newer but stiff masculine bats with close bands and short game feathers. BROWN and Pomperian are very popalar colors for. bonnets. Brown Sicilienne and red velvet are folded together for trimming fine felt bonnets, aud there are three short ostrich feathers of these colors forming panache on the crown. THERE is a preference for having the upper part of the costume of some plain material, with a damask or brocade of large scroll or floral patterns for the skirt.

Genoa velvets, plush and brocatelles make handsome skirts for plain Indian cashmere bodices and plaited tunics. PLAIN velvet is more stylish than figured velvet. It is being used for mantles with marabout fringe, chenille or fur trimmings, but it must be loaded with trimmings to make it acceptable; and fine satin cord gimp is laid upon -it so closely that the velvet becomes merely a groundwork for decoration. THE daintiest evening wraps are long Japanese shapes made of light-blue plush with white lambkin fringe, or blue and silver brocatelle with a border of white and gray dove's feathers, or gold and black damask velvet with chenille and gold fringe as a garniture, and Pompeiian red plush lining. conceits appear in the new silver jewelry that is darkened to resemble old silver.

Five comic masks are on one long brooch, while others have Kate Greenaway children, the man in the moon, fighting cocks, blinking owls, or sentimentallooking doves. Bouquet pins of silver have the word "Souvenir" engraved upon them. CLOTH. basques with square tabs and braided vests are capital things for giving sufficient warmth to silk and wool dresses without adding a mantle or jacket. Hungarian blue, terra-cotta red, and dull green cloth are the colors most useful, as they harmonize well with nearly all the dresses of the period, whether colored or black.

One of Leland Stanford's Dinners, Francisco The host sat in the center seat on the east side, and opposite him was Dr. Gwin, while at the south end was seated Judge Sawyer, and at the other ex-Senator Stewart. To the right of Mr. Stanford was the guest of the evening, Gen. McDowell, and then in order Col.

Sutherland, Maj. Rathbone, Mr. Ariel Lathrop, Mr. Edward Taylor, Mr. Frank M.

Pixley, Mr. Samuel M. Wilson and Gen. Kelton. To Mr.

Stanford's left were Mr. F. Barreda, Col. McAllister, Gen. R.

Saxton, Maj. Hammond, Mr. W. E. Brown, Mr.

Harry McDowell, Mr. Wm. H. L. Barnes and Senator Wm.

Sharon. To the right of Dr. Gwin were Gen. A. V.

'Kautz, Consul W.m: Lane Booker, Mr. Alfred Tubbs, Mr. A. N. Towne, Mr.

Jarboe, Mr. C. F. Crocker, Col. J.

D. Stevenson, Col. Geo. P. Andrews.

There were seated to the left of Dr. Gwin Gov. F. F. Low, Judge Hoffman, Mr.

E. Mills, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Creed Haymond, Mr. Chancellor Hartson, Col.

Weeks and Senator J. P. Jones. As there were only gentlemen present, the floral ornaments, while rich and chosen and arranged with excellent taste, were of a more subdued character than is usual when ladies also are entertained. The appearance of the table, however, when the thirty-six guests of the evening were duly seated, was quite brilliant.

The large and delicately chased epergnes flashed back from their glistening surface the exquisitely modulated lights of the lamps and candles from the candelabra, and, together with the' snowy whiteness of the tablecloth and the radiance of the manytinted flowers, made picture which, from its very freshness, called forth the most unwilling appetite. The table extended north and south the entire length of the room, and was resplendent with silver and crystal, while the famous Stanford golden sets of service were displayed upon the sideboard early in the evening, previous to being brought into use. The dinner cards were recent importations, and of the latest style in vogue in Europe. They were of heavy satin, of delicate shades, eight inches long and four wide, the top and bottom being "fringed Upon each was painted, in water colors, designs of flowers and plants, very artistically worked. Diagonally across the center was an imitation of a card, upon which was, in gilt letters, the name of the guest and the date of the dinner, "October 13, 1889." At the top was the monogram of the host, and the crest of the family, underneath which was the motto, "Labor omnia These were placed upon the plates of the guests, and at each side was a boutonniere of tuberoses, maiden-hair and small red buds.

The menu was carefully gotten up; no detail that the ingenuity of a very cordon bleu was spared in its preparation. Plat after plat triumphed for a brief moment, only to Hind its victory snatched from it by its sucseeding brother. The fair hills of France and the banks of the ever-beautiful Rhine yielded their choicest vintage to do honor to the feast. During the dinner appropriate and inspiring music was furnished by the orchestratine in the adjoining art gallery, the subdued melodies furnishing an attractive feature, while not interfering with the conversation and flow of wit. The guests rose from the table shortly after 9 o'clock and returned to the parlors, where couple of hours were spent in pleasant converse, to which the music from the art gallery furnished several pleasing interludes.

Notable War Ship. York Tribune.) Not since the close of the Rebellion have so many war vessels been at anchor at the same time in the North river 08 now lie in the stream off West Twenty-third street. These are the flag-ship Tennessee, the training-ship' Minnesota, the Yantio, Kearsarge, Alliance, Enterprise, the monitor Nantucket and two French vessels of war. The American naval vessels, excepting the Minnesota, are under orders to sail for Philadelphia to join in the bi- Centennial anniversary of the landing of William Penn. One of these vessels, the Kearsarge, has attracted special attention, for it was on June 19, 1864, while the United States Government was still engaged in the war of the rebellion, that the Kearsarge, under command of.

Capt. John A. Winslow, met the Confederate privateer Alabama off the coast of France, attacked her, and after a brilliant engagement, in which both vessels were handled with a bravery that told of the earnestness of the combatants, conquered and sunk her. It was probably due as much to the foresight of the executive officer of the Kearsarge, who protected the bulwarks of down to the water's edge with network of chains, that she was not sunk with the fast-flying shot of the Alabama. This victory over a Confederate vessel, whose previous doings caused so much disturbance between England and the United States after ward, produced the most wonderful effect in this country, and the names of Winslow, Kimberly and the Kearsarge were popular themes for many day, inspiring renewed hopes of a speedy closing of the war.

So important was this victory regarded by Congross that early in the session of 1864-65 that body, on the special recommendation of President Lincoln, passed a joint resolution of thanks to the officers and men of the Kearsarge for the skill and gallantry exhibited by them in the brilliant action on the 19th of June, 1864, between that ship and the piratical craft Alabama, vessel superior to the Kearsarge in tonnage, in guns and the number of the crew. FASHIONS FOR GENTLEMEN. York In silk hats the bell crown is worn in two heights, both lower than last season, and with heavy rolling brim. For middle-aged and old men the flat top or square-cornered black Derby will be worn. Derby for young men are in three heights.

The crowns are rounding, and the brims curled heavily as in silk bats. In evening dress suits the swallow-tail coat is made from black West of England cloth or fine Wales worsteds. There is very little change to note in their construction. The collar and lapels are out narrower: the roll not quite so extended, the skirt a little shorter. Both shawl and notched collars are worn, and silk facings are decidedly the choice.

The vests are cut to button four buttons, with rolling collars. The trousers are cut quite close to the form of the leg. "Pumps" or low -cut shoes, made from patent leather, and colored silk stockings are very generally worn for evening parties and weddings. For demi-dress suits the double-breasted frock coat, or, as it is sometimes called, the Prince Albert, is used in making morning calls, promenading, and in some cases at weddings, especially when the bride is dressed in traveling costume. These coats are made in all kinds of cloths and worsteds, with silk facings and edges bound with satin galoon binding.

Very many stylish young men wear colored worsteds made into doublebreasted frock coats. The colors most in demand are browns, grays and olives. Under the head of walking-coat suits come the single-breasted cutaway coats, one three, four and five buttons. They are made of worsted, cassimere and Scotch suitings. The edges are bound or double-stitched narrow.

The waist remains about the same length, but the skirts are longer than last season. Business-suits are also made with the above-mentioned form of coats; but the single-breasted sacque-coat is the most universally worn. All coats outline the figure closely at the back, especially those intended for full and half-dress. The number of buttons is limited to four on most coats. Trousers continue to be cut nearly skin tight, with a tendency to a slight increase at no distant Trouserings are mostly.

fine stripes, with an occasional check or plaid. Dress-trousers are finished at the side seams with a fine cord either laid on or simulated. They are cut in about the same proportions as for ordinary wear. Vests are cut straight across at the bottom, quite short, single-breasted, and buttoned up high, without collar or with a small rolling collar. Coats and vests are finished with flat bindings at the edges.

In overcoats the single and double breasted oversacque, and also single and doublebreasted surtouts, will be worn. The coat most generally worn will be the singlebreasted sacque. The single-breasted surtout, with very long skirt, will take the place of the ulster to a great degree. At present it is much worn by club men as an evening overgarment. Overcoats for winter will be made from Montagnas, Sedans, Sardinians, Elysians and fur beavers.

Overcoats for fall will be made from colored worsteds, Melton and Kerseys of medium weight. Plaid satin linings for overcoats are among the extreme novelties. PLANTATION PHILOSOPHY.

After Lucy, about whose kindness to the little ecru dog with the can on his tail you read the other day, had grown up to be a young lady she was quite good looking, and wore a great many nice clothes. She bad been to boarding-school, and when she came home again had forgotten how to do any work. But she could play the "Maiden's Prayer" and the "Battle of Prague" on the piano very nicely while her mother was hanging out clothes in the back yard afternoons. But although Lucy could do all this her Papa did not seem to be satisfied, for he was a person of no Culture, who said girls ought to know how to Cook and be of some Earthly Account around the House. He would say these Cruel Words to Lucy sometimes, and then she could go up-stairs three steps at 8 time, Slam the door of her room, and Weep Bitterly.

But before evening came, and it was tears time for would her all young man to Show Up, the be gone, and she would put powder on her face, and go down into the parlor about 8 o'clock looking Pretty And when the Young Man came she would run to the door with a Radiant Smile aud have such an ingenue look on her face that the Young Man would never suspect her of sometimes getting very Angry and slamming things around: And after Lucy and the Young Man had sat in the parlor about three hours and Whiled Away the Evening he would start for home, and she would go with him to the door and kiss' him On the Quiet. One evening while Lucy was waiting for the Young Man her father came into the room. Just then she began to sing a song called "Will My Darling Come Again!" When she had finished her Father looked at her steadily for moment, and then said: don't think he will if he ever drops on your Warble." I do not think that was just the remark for Lucy's Papa to make. He might have if said that her Darling would probably come she sent two policemen and a Requisition after him, or some harmless thing like that, but to give a girl such Racket about her singing is hardly Square. MAYNE REID.

How He Atoned for a Hasty and Cruel Act at Puebla -The Advice of Gen. Wilcox, Which Led to REID'S DARING CONDUCT AT CHAPULTEPEC. Correspondence of the New Orleans The announcement that a pension of $15 month has been granted to Capt. Mayne. Reid, the Irish novelist, now residing in England, for services rendered and wounds received in the Mexican war, has called out a number of interesting notices of Reid's life, as well as some romantic incidents connected with his career as a soldier in the American army in Mexico.

No man will regret that the name of a Mexican veteran has been placed on the pension rolls. The names of hundreds of other Mexican veterans ought to be there. They are old now, and the diseases they contracted in Mexico render them unable to earn a livelihood. They served their country well, and they deserve this reward from their country. There is one.

incident in REID'S MEXICAN SOLDIER LIFE that has never appeared in print, and as it is remembered by many of Reid's comrades in the Mexican war, it may not be uninteresting to recall it. Reid was a Lieutenant in a New York regiment of volunteers, which was commanded by Col. Ward Burnett. The regiment formed part of Shield's brigade of Quitman's division. Scott's army occupied Puebla from the 14th of May, 1847, until about the middle of August of the same year, and then moved from the mountains into the valley of Mexico.

A few days before the army began this forward movement, Reid being officer of the guard at the barracks of his regiment, and baving among the prisoners one who was very unruly and insubordinate, in a moment of passion, and for some great and unusual provocation, struck the prisoner with his sword. The blow was more severe than he probably intended that it should be. The wound inflicted was so serious that the man died in a very few minutes. Reid was full of conceit and very vain. He was fond of dress and gloried in his uniform, which was always a little beyond the regulations in the matter of gold lace and buttons.

His general good nature, lively Irish wit, and the exuberance of his animal spirits were so great, however, that he was a boon companion and a favorite with all who knew him: THE KILLING OF THE PRISONER could not be justified, of course, but Reid was so generally liked that there was a great deal of sympathy felt for him. The forward movement of the army began about this time, and but for this fact, probably, a general court-martial would have been convened, and Reid, perhaps, would have been dismissed from the army. Soon after Scott's army reached the Valley of Mexico the battles of Contreras and Cherubusco were fought, in both of which Reid's regiment took part. Then followed an armistice, on the expiration of which the battles of Molino del Rey, and, subsequently Chapultepec occurred. Among the officers of the regular army who knew Reid was Lieut, Wilcox, junior Aid-de-camp to Maj.

Gen. Quitman. Wilcox was fresh from West Point and found considerable pleasure in Reid's society. A day or two before the attack upon Chapultepec, Wilcox, learning that it would be assaulted with two columns, each led by a storming party made up of volunteers, rode over to the camp of the New York regiment, called upon Lieut. Reid, informed him sof the probable disposition of troops for the attack upon Chapultepec, and suggested that he should volunteer for the storming party, because, if he should volunteer and survive that service, the unfortunate incident at Puebla would in all probability be OVERLOOKED AND FORGOTTEN.

Reid seized Wilcox's hand and thanked him warmly for being so mindful of him. He said he should certainly volunteer for the storming party, and would regard it as a great misfortune if his services were not ac cepted. The following night Wilcox heard at headquarters that there would be no volunteer troops in the storming parties, but that the men composing them would be taken from the regulars of the divisions of Worth and Twiggs. The next morning Wilcox visited Reid and notified him of the change of programme. Reid was greatly depressed at the news, Puebia because be had set his heart in wiping the stain off his name at Chapultepec.

Wilcox, who sympathized with him, told him that there was still chance for him. "There will be a guard," said Wilcox, to be near the heavy battery which will open fire on Chapultepec early in the morning. A part of these guards will come from Quitman's division and I will try to have your company detailed for that duty." At this time Reid was in command of his company. Wilcox then gave Reid the following advice: "When the infantry advance to the assault, our artillery will be forced to suspend its fire. Your company will no longer be required as a guard in the rear.

You must rush forward at a run, take the sbortest route, and make every possible effort to aud reach be the very front of the charging troops among THE FIRST TO ENTER CHAPULTEPEC." This plan revived Reid's spirits. His face flushed with excitement. With glistening and grateful eyes he seized both of Wilcox's bands and thanked him for his advice and his effort to serve him. Reid's was detained as guard to one of the heavy company batteries, and when the attack was made and the artillery ceased to fire, Reid ran like deer down across the sloping hills of Moline del Rey and reached the advance column as it was ascending the heights of Chapultepec. He was conspicuous for his daring and was among the foremost when he was shot in the thigh.

His wound compelled him to use a crutch for a month or more. As Wilcox predicted, the Puebla offense was passed over in silence. Reid enjoyed to the fullest extent the notoriety and popuhim. larity He which 'his suffered conduct at considerable Chapultepec gave pain from his wound for awhile, but he could afford to bear the pain with equanimity in view of the fact that he had escaped being courtmartialed. After the war he went to England, where he won quite a name as a writer of fiction.

Lieut. Wilcox remained in the army, and in the civil war cast his fortunes with the South. By his courage and ability he rose to the rank of Major General. After the war he was for several years in business in New Orleans. A LADY LECTURER IN TROUSERS.

How Mrs. Stowe Panted to Wear Pants--Adam and Eve's Natural Costumes, and Mrs. Stowe's Social Science Sisterhood Conference met in her Stockton street parlors in San Francisco lately. During the first part of the proceedings the half dozen brethren present were satisfied with the obscurity of the far corners, or the seats behind the sisters of the most mature proportions. Later on, when the discussion on trousers and other articles of man-millinery which the sisters covet, became more interesting, they were conspicuously chipper and peart, and were eager participants in the discussion.

Mrs. Stowe at first apologized for not wearing the trousers as she had advertised, but afterward retired in order to don them. She said she had called on the Chief of Police to ask whether she might wear the new costume publicly, but he declined to answer her. She then told him she would defy the police and wear it anyhow. After the first of the year she will wear trousers always.

Trousers, she asserted, were first worn by women, and men had usurped the privilege of wearing them, which originally belonged to women. Trouser is from trousse, to dress, and pantaloon from pantule, to cover the heel. Man's heel being less bandsome than woman's, he soon saw the advantage of this apparel for everyday wear. "Dr. Mary Dodge, of St.

Louis, wears a costume, she went on, "much like what I shall put on. Hers has a line of trimming on the bottom of the skirt, but mine is a plaited dress coming down about to what is called the line of beauty, on the calf of the leg." After this explanation Mrs, Stowe read her annual address. In it she spoke severely of the babit of wearing the corset. She used some rhetorical figures personifying the offensive article. She said: I think of the number of stomachs overloaded under a corset, and crying, 'Oh, liver, come to my aid! Oh, pancreatic juice, where are I do not hesitate to say that high-pressure lacing has filled the world with deformity, intemperance and all manner of crime.

We must abandon it and take to swimming, the tricycle and athletic sports. The address was interspersed with many interesting illustrations. She told about. a San Diego military company of ladies, of the champion female swimmer of England, and of a Washington Territory rifle shot who wears petticoats. There was an explanation in it of the two figures on canvas across the wall, one wearing a drawing-room costume and the other in a garden drapery--the drapery of the garden of Eden.

She said that while Mrs. Smythe, of Oakland, lectured on "bread" she would put the trousers on. Presently she appeared and quieted the anxiety of the audience somewhat, which bad begun to manifest itself in frequent glances toward the door. Her hair is cut short and was bound up with a narrow blue ribbon. She wore black velvet coattailed basque and a short, black silk plaited skirt.

The "line of beauty" WAS concealed by black cassimere trousers covering the instep. Her gaiters were of cloth, and her breast was a red silk badge stamped "8. S. and fastened with a diamond pin and two artificial roses. She carried a fan.

"I bave a double flannel on under dress, and no corsets," she explained. never wore corsets in my An elderly lady related the trials of woman who had a husband that wasn't ingenious enough to make a spigot round for cider barrel. A man without a shirt collar introduced himself as a rural gentleman. Mrs. Stowe said that if Mr.

Crowley runs for office she would certainly defeat him. She said there was no pleasure in hugging in the new costume. She didn't care, because there is too much hugging anyhow. Pointing the illustrations on the wall, she said: "There is the perfect woman. Adam and Eve had no difficulty about dress.

They dressed alike and they never got mixed up. Theirs was natural costume." THE CLIPPED MUSE. Actiam. Mark Antony at Actium by the sea Marshaled his host; Octavius there unfurled, To fight for the broad empire of the world, His banner by the blue Ambraciot Bay. Long waged the combat that September day With doubtful issue till a squadron led By Cleopatra broke its ranks and fled.

So fell the great Antonius' star astray. A passionate woman, amorous, over-sweet, Lured the great Roman from the empyrean down To grovel in the dust about her feet, And in the lover lose the Imperial crown.

Bunner in Harper's "I know what you're going to say," she said, And she stood up, looking uncommonly tali: "You are going to speak of the hectic fall, And say you're sorry the summer's dead, And no other summer was like it, you know, And can I imagine what made it so.

Now, aren't you, honestly?" I said. "I know what you're going to say," she said: "You are going to ask if I forget That day in June when the woods were wet, And you carried me -here she drooped her the creek; you are going to say, Do I remember that horrid day. Now, aren't you, honestly?" "Yes, I said. "I know what you're going to say," she said: "You are going to say that since that tine You have rather tended to run to rhyme, -her clear glance fell, and her cheek grew have I noticed your tone was queer. Why, everybody has seen it here! Now aren't you, honestly!" I said.

"I know what you're going to say," I said: "You're going to say you've been much annoyed; And I'm short of tact-you will say 'devoid'And I'm clumsy and awkward; and call me Ted; And I bear abuse like a dear old lamb; And you'll have me, anyway, just as I am. Now aren't you, honestly?" she said. The Church By the Sea. W. I.

REMARKABLE SAND DUNE. Movable Mountain of Pure Sand Formed by Nevada Zephyrs. (Nev.) In the Eastern part of Churchill county, near Sand Springs station, on the road from Wadsworth to Grantsville, and about sixtyfive miles from the former place, is a sand dune, which is remarkable alike for its peculiar formation and moving propensities. As far around as the eye can reach is vast wilderness of greasewood and stunted sagebrush, with here and there abrupt mountain ridges, or a sharp rocky peak, evidently placed there long before the mythical persons left their mysterious footprints in the mud, now hardened for the annoyance of the State prison inmates, and for no other apparent purpose than to deceive the unaccustomed travelers as regards their distance from any place he happens to be located. The dune, or sand-mountain ridge, which is about four miles in length, and covers probably a mile of greasewood in width, was, perhaps, formed by the heavy winds which prevail in that section, blowing across these deserts through a natural opening in a small range of mountains and depositing the small particles of sand that were picked up in a heap where the wind's course is disturbed and an eddy formed, In the whole dune, which is from 100 to 400 feet in hight, and contains millions of tons of sand, it is impossible to find a particle much larger than pin-head.

It is so fine that if an ordinary barley. sack be filled and placed in a moving wagon the jolting of the vehicle would empty the sack, and yet it has no form of dust in it and is as clean as any seabeaeh sand. The mountain is so solid as to give it a musical sound when trod upon, and oftentimes a hird lighting on it, or a large lizard running across the bottom, will start a large quantity of the sand to sliding, which makes a noise resembling the vibration of telegraph wires with a hard wind blowing, but so much louder that it is often heard at distance of six or seven miles, and is deafening to a person standing within a short distance of the sliding sand. A peculiar feature of the dune is that it is not stationary, but rolis slowly eastward, the wind gathering it up on who west end and carrying it along the ridge until it is again deposited at the eastern ead. Mr.

Monroe, the well-known surveyor, having heard of the rambling habits of this mammoth sandheap, quite a number of years ago took careful bearings on it while sectionizing Government lands in that vicinity. Several years later he visited the place and found that the dune had moved something overa mile. THE SHAH'S PALACES. Summer House Six Stories High, geously Painted and Furnished. (From Stack's Sis Months in Persia.) The palaces of the Shah deserve some notice.

did not see his town residence; but of the many summer lodges which dot the. foot-slope of Shimran, I saw four or five, notably Saltanatabad, which, being coms paratively recent, and on a grand scale, may serve as a specimen of the rest. It lies some 600 feet higher than Gulahek, in the midst of a noble garden, where poplars and planes give ample shade, and mulberries, plums, apples and cherries can be till one grows tired. Streams of clear water run by the sides of the alleys, and fountains with pellucid basins All up the vista in various directions, while a great tank, 4 hundred yards long by sixty broad, and eight or nine feet deep, occupies the center. Above this stands large summer-house.

Its central hall, paved with blue tiles, is a polygon of some twenty yards in diameter; a fountain plays in the middle, and raised dais oc; cupies a recess at one side. The angles are adorned with frescoes, the work of Persian artists, representing European scenes, though one can not imagine what principle has guided the selection. One picture shows the lobby of the House of Commons; another, the interior of some large London restaurant; a third, the inside of a church during service; a fourth, the nave of some cathedral. The summer-house is three stories high, and the upper floors are laid out in rooms illustrated by mirrors and decorated with pictures of joviality and festive proceedings between two persons. These are ludicrous to the last degree, both youth and maiden being invariably arrayed in what the artist considers the latest European fashion, while their eyes have no regard for their own concerns, but are steadily directed on the beholder.

One panel bears the figure of a gigantic waspwasted, white-crinoliue damsel, in whose sprawls a lover about half her size, love and wine at once oppressed;" the wine-cup, dangling from his hand, spills its ruby contents over the white skirt of his sweetheart. I had the curiosity to ascend above the third story into the loft under the roof, and found it the hottest place I bad ever entered in my life; hotter, no doubt, than the piombi of Venice, for Teberan is nearer the sun, and no roof could be much thinner than the copper sheathing of this painted dome. Besides this principal summer-house, there are several other buildings in various parts of the grounds. One is an octagonal tower sixty feet high, mounting in a series of rooms to the Shah's bedroom at the top. Another is a clock tower of much the same pattern.

Another is the Shah's menagerie, a gallery filled with pictures of wild animals, some of which are copied from English designs, such as the picture of the grizzly bear sitting on a pine trunk which bridges a canon, while he holds the dead body of a horse under his forepaws design that forms the frontispiece, if I mistake not, to the book called 'The Great Lone most of them original, indeed wonderfully and fearfully so. The expression of the mouth of the hippopotamus is especially uncanny. The birds are much better done. A couple of condors on a dead ox are indeed twice the size of their quarry, but when that point is overlooked one finds something to admire in the rendering of the plumage and in the general pose. The Persians are most successful in portrait painting.

When they lay fancy aside and go in for faithful representation of real men, they can produce very respectable likenesses. Perhaps what I have written will serve to show that royal state in Persia is barbarous yet, and decidedly deficient in finish. It has much that is bright and striking in color, gilding and mirror ornamentation, but costliness and splendor will be looked in vain. The things that seemed to me best taste were certain doors and some windows of carved wood, where design and execution were pretty and delicate. The flooring of a room in the women's apartment in Saltanatabad was pretty enough; consisted of glass tiles laid over a groundwork of blue rosettes.

In the sardaba or underground chambers of the Nigaristan palace in Teheran city, where Fath Ali Shah used to disport himself with his ladies in the heat of the summer day, one can still see, and, if he chooses, slide down, the sursura, or shoot of white marble, rubbed the white limbs of that gracious monarch's many wives, as they used to come gliding into his royal arms. It is an inclined plane, down which one shoots with considerable velocity in a sitting posture, to plunge (if not stopped) into a marble tank at the foot. I solemnly slid down it, in riding-boots and spurs, feeling that I but inadequately represented the spirit of the place. TO WHISKY DRINKERS. Few Points On Whisky From a Bar-keeper's Standpoint.

Free "Yes, there is such a thing as good, pure whisky." "Where can it be many places." "At saloons?" "Not often." "Drug stores?" "Seldom." "Where then?" "Well, the fact is, I know of only two lots of pure whisky- except, of course, a few packages owned by private individuals and not for -in Detroit. One is at the store of-" "Never mind the place. Now tell me, what profit can be made on a barrel of whisky?" the "That drink or depends on whether and it is retailed by measure, on the class of people you sell it to." much water can you put into a gallon of three-dollar whisky without giviug the cheat away?" a pint never would be noticed, and sometimes more is put in." "That is to say you can sell fifty or seventy-five cents' worth of water to every galIon of whisky?" "Yes, sometimes more." "How many drinks of whisky are estimated to the gallon?" "Sixty. That is the average of a gallon, because some men take large drinks while others take little and so we have come to average it at sixty "That is $6 per gallon for all kinds of whisky sold over a bar?" "No, because there are bars where whisky is sold at five cents and others where fifteen and twenty cents a drink is "Yet the average profit a gallon of whisky, sold by the glass, is 300 or 400 per cent. "I should say about that." "Now, bow many of your regular customers can tell $3 whisky from whisky which cost you $2 or less?" "Very few.

I have, perhaps, fifteen or twenty men who are accurate judges of good liquor; can tell the various brands immediately and whom I would not dare to offer any diluted or 'doctored' liquors." do you know but you may sometime make a mistake and set out poor liquor to a good judge?" You can 'size a man up' generally. For instance, the other day when I.was pretty busy a fashionable young, man came in and called for a 'gin began mixing the drink, and when I had It nearly concocted I realized that I had used whisky instead of gin. I looked at my man, thought 'never mind; let her and squirting a little stuff into the drink, which kills the smell of gin, or any other liquor for that matter, I passed it to my customer." be drink it?" "Drink it?" Yes, indeed, and he never knew whether he was drinking a 'gin fizz' or a whisky "How did you escape detection?" "My man didn't know anything about of liquor. the thing." He was just drinking for the style "It's a queer business, isn't it?" "Yes, it is, and I'm going to get out of it as soon as possible." Cockerill's Addition to Pinafore. Most people who have admired the little song of Hebe in the last act of "Pinafore" do not know that it is not a part of the opera as written by Gilbert and Sullivan.

It was composed and the music arranged for Belle Mackenzie by John Cockerill, the St. Louis editor, who on Friday last shot and killed Col. Slavback in the Post-Dispatch office, St. Louis. Belle Mackenzie made the part of Hebe famous when she gave the new song for the first time at the South Brond Street Theater, in this city, during the great "Pinafore" craze of 1877.

When John T. Ford was introduced to Miss Mackenzie in Baltimore he was struck with her face and manners, and thought she would make a hit on the stage, so he offered her a place in his company in the. Hebe role in "Pinafore." The company was then preparing to come to Philadelphia to reap the rich harvest which afterward put thousands of dollars in the pockets of himself and Fred. Zimmerman. The pretty Philadelphia blonde, who was about to make her first appearance, was not satisfied simply to pose.

But the authors of the opera had not written a solo for the fair Cousin there was some difficulty in satisfying Miss Mackenzie, until the matter was mentioned to Mr. Cockerill, who was at that time editor-in-chief of the Baltimore Gazette, and who sat down and dashed off the song which has since become famous. He is something of a musician, and with the assistance ot the director of Ford's once Company, the song was set to music, and at handed to Miss Mackenzie, who quietly caught music spirit, and made a great its hit. The to which the is set is an old Hungarian air which Mr. Cockeril song heard during his tour of Enrope for the Cincinnati Enquirer, and which made such an impression on him that he had not forgotten it.

IT WAS IN THE DAY OF HAYES. Mr. Evarte Stumbles Upon a Witness' Recol. lections of the Great Fraud. York In the Stokes will case before, Surrogate Rollins yesterday, Adam testified that he had decorated the late Mr.

Stokes' house in Madison avenue, under the direction of Mr. James Stokes, Jr. He went to the house in November, 1880, to show some samples for window curtains. He was exhibiting the goods to the young ladies, when the elder Stokes came and asked the cost of the goods. The witness said $12 a yard.

Mr. Stokes said, "'I would not give you six cents a yard." Then the ladies took the old gentleman away, and afterward the witness made a bargain with the young ladies for the goods. George W. Moore, who married a niece of the late James Stokes, testifled that in the middle of 1879 Mr. Stokes began to show signs of weakness, and failed rapidly.

The witness mentioned that he and Mr. Stokes had talked politics together. was the last time you talked politics with Mr. Stokes?" asked Mr. William M.

Evarts, counsel for the proponents. "It was under the Hayes Administration. It arose in this way-" "Never mind how it arose," interrupted Mr. Evarts, hastily. "His politics were Democratic, and so were mine," continued the witness.

"Never mind that," said Mr. Evarts. "No matter what the conversation was." Mr. Bangs was more curious, and at his instance the witness went on: "Mr. Stokes spoke of the robbery and thievery that was going on in the Hayes Administration, and said it was costing him $5 a day tax on the house in which he lived." There, was a laugh in court, and Mr.

Bangs, turning to Mr. Evarts, said, "'You can't move to strike that out." Hayes Mr. Evarts "What did you yourself, about the of the witness. said I thought that Mr. Tilden had been robbed of the Presidency, and he agreed with me exactly," "What did he say when you said that Mr.

Tilden had been robbed of the Presidency continued Mr. Evarts. "He agreed with me." "And as to the rascality and robbery of the Hayes Administration, you did not agree with him?" I did not say I did not. I thought he put it well." "Now about this $5 a day he was losing! What about continued Mr. Evarts.

said he had to pay $5 a day tax on his house on account of the rascality, robbery and thievery that was going on in the Hayes Administration." spoke promptly--no confusion of utterance? do not think he was confused on the subject of his $5 tax a day." INSIDE THE TREASURY BUILDING. York World's Washington It is a -established fact that the people are to know nothing of the conduct of the public business, and if the absence of a hundred clerks for one week is calculated to delay the public business it is something with which they have to grandeur of the magnates is in inverse ratio to their wages. A high official is usually civil, a $2,500 cuief of a division can put on but more frills than the Treasury building can hold. There are from ten to eleven thousand clerks in Washington all complaining of hard work, and poor pay, and all preferring to be dismembered alive to giving up their offices. A Government office ought to be a punishment instead of a reward.

The Republicans say that nothing like the wholesale sweep when the Democrats come into power has ever yet been seen, but it is the earnest hope of every Democrat that the disastrous union of and politics, as now witnessed in Washington. may never be seen under a Democratic Administration. When the party has to shoulder a Jay Hubbell campaign it will be time to nail it up in its coffin. Three-fourths of the people in the Treasury building appear to be having a good time during business hours. It is a very good lounging place, and out of the six working hours of every employe, the three-fourths who are not worked to death ork about three hours.

It is the commonest thing in Washington-indeed, it is uncommon to find it the other way-for the women Treasury clerks to invite their female friends to down to the office and see me." Now what kind of work is it that can be interrupted at any moment to hold a levee for an hour or two! The worst of letting in the light on the Treasury women is that it is a two-edged sword. They are divided into the very deserving and the very undeserving, but the groups of women gossiping in the corridors or lounging at their desks are usually highpriced clerks, who have a noble contempt for everything connected with Uncle Sam's Government except their wages. Of course if there is a word said about the laziness and inefficiency of female clerks up goes a simultaneous yell. Each one tells how tired she is when she gets home, how hard she works and other pitiful -but offer them other work at the same compensation and see how quickly they would decline it. The reason is plain.

They can get $800 a year in the Treasury for doing $200 worth of work. Elsewhere they would have to do the full $800 worth. And go through the -about one in five deserves 8 Government place. It would be as well, though, if women could be put into all the clerkships of the lower grades. It would certainly be a good thing it the thousands of men doing the most mechanical kind of clerical work which requires about two grains of sense to master should be made to give place to women who are fully capable of doing the parrot-like performances.

ANDY JOHNSON'S FAITH. Louis Col. Granville Moody, the well-known Ohio Methodist minister, who was generally known throughout the country when serving as chaplain in the Union army during the war as the "Fighting Parson," spent yesterday among his friends in St. Louis. He has retired from the ministry, being over seventy years of age, but he still maintains that a prayer he delivered when closeted with Andy Johnson resulted in bringing about the defeat of the Southern army, and in eventually terminating the war.

He says that Johnson sent for him, and asked him what to do. He replied promptio, "Let us pray;" and pray be did until he had worked the spiritual faculty of the statesman up to a white heat. After the prayer, 60 the Colonel's narrative runs, Johnson sprang to his feet, and said: "Moody, by I think that prayer will pull us through. And the prayer, according to the parson's belief, did pull the Union army through, it so happened that, from that time on, the Federal troops fought their battles with greater success. At another time the fighting parson, while urging his comrades to make charge, shouted: "Give them thunder, boys.

He has been a very successful minister in his time, but since the war has labored under the belief that the Almighty, himself and Andy, Johnson should be given credit 'for bringing the war to a The above are facts too well known to the the fighting parson's surviving comrades to admit of contradiction or amendment. He returned to his Ohio home last night. QUICK YEAST POWDER. ROYAL ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
