It is not known whether the Grand Duke answered the letter or not Dorsey died in 1875, leaving behind a handsome fortune and considerable real estate. AUGUSTINE'S ESTABLISHMENT.

Tim business established by James J. Augustine is now carried on by his son. The Augus tines have enjoyed a wider celebrity and maintained a steadier claim to patronage than any other men of their class. Their establishment is a bouse of modest appearance on Walnut street, above Eleventh, and is still patronized by the most conservative class of custom. "In my father's time," said tho younger Augusti no, we not only had all the custom in the city worth having, but sent boxes of croquettes, salads and terrapin to New York, Baltimore.

Washington and hundreds of miles beyond that. During the war, while the Army of tho Potomac in the summer of 1863 was resting on the banks of tho Bappahannock, after the fatiguing march from Gettysburg, tho oilicers of the famous Pennsylvania Reserve Corps determined to present General George G. Meade, the commander iu chief, with a sword of honor aud other insignia of his rank. The committee appointed were Major Lewis W. Uead, now Surgeon General of the State Major Charles F.

Hoy Division Commissary, and Captain Lewis Livingston, A. D. of New York. A portion of tho programme was a banquet, and this committee passed over tho claims of Woelcker.of Washington, and Guy, of Baltimore, and awarded the contract to us. All the dishes had to he sent from here to Washington and then by rail over the Orange and Alexandria Railroad under military escort to Warren ton Junction, over one hundred miles from tho capital.

From the Junction the dinner was transported by wagons to the camp, five miles under cavalry escort, and tho men received the good things with a military salute. A finer dinner had never been eaten by an army in the field." A TRUFFLED CJOOSE BROUGHT FROM FRANCE. Tho late Dr. K. Shelton Mackenzie was an habitual diner at Augustine's, and a receipt of his lor a famous punch, to be taken with turtle soup, is still "preserved.

"lie was a fine old gentleman and knew what was what, did Dr. Mackenzie," continued the speaker. He was a good friend of ours, and so was Colonel Forney and tho present Attorney General, Mr. Brewster. Wo served a dinner to tho latter nearly twelve years ago, at which ono of the dishes was a capon goose, stuffed with truflles and sent ready for cooking all the way from France in an air tight can.

Finding catering somewhat profitable, there aro hundreds of men who have entered tho calling, and now 'caterers' are as numerous George Washington's body servant. Oh, no; wo do not suffer, for while the profession may be overrun we have a steady and select class of patrons, among whom are some of the representative families iu the city." A. F. Stevens, who generally caters for tho Charity Ball, is a comparatively young mau and enjoys a very lucrative business. THE CHKSS BOARD.

The operations in railroad bonds yesterday attracted more attention In the local market than the purchase and sale of stocks, the feature heing a brisk demand for West Shore fives, which sold up to 5S the highest figures seen for many weeks. The Improved prospects of the company, Its reported ability to meet ail fixed charges and rumors that the road had passed into the control of Vanderbilt were assigned as the canses of the demand for the bonds.

Various classes of Reading bonds were, also qnite active. The stock market was not quite so dull as on the other days ot the week, but it was still far from active. Jn the early hours there was a pretty good demand for Oregon and Transcontinental, which sent the price up about half a dollar and imparted some strength to Northern Pacific preferred. The de mand, however, met a good deal of stock, which was said to come from Boston and I rem the Kn dicotts. In consequence the demand soon ceased and bolore the close the advance was lost.

From the London Telegraph.

When the letter of the King ol the Belgians reached Gordon, inviting him to take charge of the Upper Congo and to endeavor to extirpate slavery there, the General wasTiving on the Mount of Olives, studying day by day the topography of thelloly Sepulchre. People may wonder how, having made preparations for bis West African expedition, and being on the point of starting for the Congo, he could so suddenly alter his plans and set forth for the Nile. The fact is that Gordon despises preparations'' and dispenses with them. When, being returned to London from Brussels, he had an interview before departing for F.gypt with a friend interested in his mission, a conversation of tlie following nature if not in these precise words took place: Have you got your i ready, General "I have got wiiat I always have. This hat is good enough and so are these clothes.

I shall start as 1 am my boots are quite strong." "And how are you off" for cash Y'ou must have some ready money." "Ah! 1 forgot it. Yes. I forgot that Iliad to borrow five and twenty pounds, by tlie by, from tiie King or tlie Belgians, to get over here. Of course I mast pay this.and I shall wanta little more." "How much? Would one or two tBousand pounds do in notes and bills 7" "Oh, dear, no! A hundred pounds apiece for myself and Stewart will be enough. What on earth do we want more for?" Thus the frugal hero departed, we believe, with no moro than 100 in ready money, but meeting an old nnd valued Soudanese acquaintance in Cairo, who was very poorly ott', Gordon could not resist the claims of "auld lang syne" even when he played 011 the black keys and lent or gave his old African friend the greater part of his traveling money.

He has always shown a similar contempt for that which is the object of so many desires. At one time in his checkered life lie possessed, we believe, a sum ot XS.ODO, and an intimate friend pressed him to place it in safety at proper interest. Gordon replied ho hiniselt could take all due care of it, but tlie sum became reduced to by secret charities and benefactions a year and six months after hat his iriend discovered that only 30 remained of the oriirinal amount, Tiie had gone to the poor iir.d him thai hath no helper." It might be thought that this generous naturo had for its background of support a robust and almost rude good health. The contrary is strangely the case. General Gordon Is a martyr to some obscure form of heart disease, which lias compelled him to relinqisli tlie solace of smoking and ofttimes almost prostrates him.

THIS IRON CROSS. A Workingman's Society Devoted to Temperance, Reverence and Purity, circular issued by The Guild of the Iron Cross" gives a statement of the purpose of this organization which will be of Interest beyond the circle of those to whom the circular is immediately addressed. It is as follows: "Weare workingmen of the Episcopal Church the church of the We can work in it. It gives us something to do, and we don't bclicvo in a religion being all left to the clergy. A few of us have covenanted together to keep before ourselves three principles temperance, reverence and purity and in the holy name of Christ, who died for us, we ask you to help us or join us against intemperance, swearing and impurity.

"We call ourselves men of the Iron Cross because we resolve firmly, with God help, to be temperate, reverent and pure. Ily temperance we mean taking little or no intoxicating liquor. If it is a temptation to a mau he had better give it up altogether. When wo say we will be reverent, wo mean (hat we will not swear; wo will not use bad words of any kind which offend God or God's men. We are astiatned to hear the name of Jesus Christ, our God and Master, profaned in the works nnd In the streets.

A real true man wlil never do it. He will think twice before disgracing that Ureal Name and himself. Wo will bo pure and chaste you know what that, means, so wo need nut talk about it.

CAPTU11H OF A CAKIROU. A Lively Encounter ISctween the Rare Roast and a 1'arly of Hunters. From the Koston Globe. A party from Moultonhoro and Sandwich, N. report that while hunting inold Sandwich Mountain, last week, they came upon and captured a woodland caribou.

The animal was killed after desperate fight with rilles and dogs. He measured over eight feet In length and was four and one third feet in height. They estimated his weight to be between 800 and 400 pouuds. The party consisted of four strong men, but they were unable to take him irom tlie forest. They succeeded iu dragging him about half a mile on the snow crust, when they becamo so much fatigued that they gave it up, nnd after removing the hide and taking out one hind leg at the hip Joint as trophies they reluctantly left the remainder and stariod on the return journey, witii sprained joints, wounded eyes and general fatigue.

This animal in size is about halfway between the common deer and moose. The body in color was grayish brown, with while upon the end of the nose aud upon tlie abdomen. WHEN TIIE JOKICIt ISA JOKING.

Business is not what it used to bo," said a leading colored caterer, reflectively. 41 Not many years nearly the whole of the catering for largo parties and balls was done by colored men, but now, since the advent of BoMt, Fiuelli aud other swell restaurateurs, the business has fallen off to a great extent. Wo manage to make a comfortable living, however, and that's all. Nowadays theso private cooking schools give the average woman a fair idea of cookery, what is needed and what the probable cost will be; so some of us have little more to do than act under her direction when she gives an entertainment.

It is easy to see how she curtails her expenses to our loss. Augustine ami Stevens do the most lucrative business of any caterers in town at present, but I long for a revolution of things and a return of the good old days of Bogle and Dorsey, when palates were not half so fastidious and purses balf so tight. Robert Bogle, a bright mulatto who flourished about fifty years ago, was the first colored man in Philadelphia, if not in the country, to establish himsolf in the business of caterer. Ho was a well known character of the town and by common consent was called "Major." He was as much in deniaud upon all occasions as the famous suppers he served. No party, no marriage, no christening, no funeral was complete without the presence of this genius, who officiated at all times with imperturbable dignity of bearing.

Amid tears and smiles, amid sorrow and joy, he reigned with a versatility and in genius tact which commanded the admiration aud respect of all. ODK TO BOOLE. Nicholas Riddle, at that time president of the United States Bank, in his "Ode to Bogle," which was published for private circulation in 1829, happily depicts him: Bogle not he whose shadow flics Before a frightened (Scotch man's eyes. But thou of Kight near Siinsom, thou (Colorless colored man, whose brow, Unmoved, the (oysof life surveys, Untouched the giooin of death displays, Reckless if joy or gloom prevail M.crn, multifarious Boglehail! Hull jnay'st thou, Bogie, for thy rein Kxtends o'er nature's wide domain, Begins before our earliest breat h. Nor ceases wit ii the hour of deal li seems the blushing maiden wed Unless thy care the supper spread Half christened only were that boy, Whose heal hen squalls our ears annoy.

If, service linished, cakes and wine "Were Riven by any band but thine, And Christian burial e'en were seaut Unless his aid the Bogie grant. Lover of pomps! the dead might rise And feast upon himself his eyes, "When marshaling the black array Thou niTst the sadness of the day, Teaching how grief may be genteel, And legatees should seem to feel. Death's seneschal, 'tis thine to trace For each ins proper look and phice How aunts should weep where uncles stand, With hostile cousins hand in hand; (jive matchless gloves, and titly uhsipe By length of face the length of crape. See him erect, with lofty tread, The dark scarf streaming from his head, Lead forth his groups in order mete And range them grief wise in the street; Presiding o'er the solemn show The very Chesterfield of woe. Evil to him should bear the pall, Yet comes too late or not at all Woe to the mourner who shall stray One inch beyond the trim array; St ill worse the kinsman who shall movo Until thy signal voice approve.

Let widows anxious to fulfil (For the first time) the dead man's will, Lovers and lawyers ill at ease For bliss deferred, or loss of fees, Or heirs impatient of delay, Chafe only at his formal stay The Bogle heeds notnobly true, Resolved to give the dead his due; No. ot of honor will he bate, Nor stir toward the churchyard gate, Till the last person is at hand And every hat has got its band. Before his stride the town gives way; Beggars and belles confess his sway Urays, prudes and sweeps, a startled mass, Rein up to let his cortege pass; And Oealh himself, that careless dun Who waits on all, yet waits for none, Now hears a greater waiter's tone Andscurcely deems his life his own. Nor less, stupendous man, thy power Jn festal than in funeral hour, When gas and beauty's blended rays Set hearts and ball rooms in a blaze, Or siiermaeetis light reveals More inward bruises" than it heals. In flames each belle her victim kills.

And sparks fly upward in quadrilles; Like iceberg in an Indian clime Refreshing Bogle breathes sublime Cools airs upon that sultry stream, From Roman punch' and frosieu cream. Mo sadly social when we tlec From milky table ami watery tea, To dance by inches in that strait Between a sideboard and a grate, "With rug uplift and blower tight 'tiainst the red demon Anthracite, Then, Bogle o'er the weary hours A world of sweet incessant showers, Till blest relief from noise and foam, The farewell pound cake warns us home. Wide ones the crowd to let thee pass And hail the music of thy glass, Browning all other sounds even those From Bollman Ligoigne that rose. From Chapman's self some giancc will stray To rival charms upon thy tray, AVhich thou dispenses with an air As life or death "depended there Wine for the luckless wretch, whose back lias stood against, a window crack And then, impartial, cool'st in turn, The youth, whom Love and Lehigh burn, On Johnson's smooth and placid mien A quaint and fitful smile is seen; O'er Shepard's pale, romantic face A radiant simper we may trace; But on the Bogie's steudfust cheek Lugubrious thoughts their presence speak 31 is very smile serenely stern As lighted laehrymary urn. In church or Stale, in bower or hall, Re gives, with equal face, to all The wedding cake, the funeral crape, The mourning glove, the festive grape; In the same tone, when crowds disperse.

Calls Powell's hack or Carter's hearse; As gently grave, as sadly grim At the quick waltz as funeral hymn. Thou, social Fabius! since the day When Rome was saved by wise delay, None else has found the happy chance By always waiting to advance. Let tune and tide, coquettes so rude, Pass on yet hope to be pursued. Thy gentler nature wails on all When parlies rage, on thee thej call Who seek'st no office in the State, Content, while others push to wait. Yet (not till Providence bestowed On Adam's sons AlcAdam's road) Unstnmuling foot was rarely given To man or beast when quickly driven.

And they do say but this I doubt, For seldom he lets things leak out They do say ere dances close, His, too, are "light fantastic toes." Oh, if this be so, Bogle! then, How are we served by serving men A waiter by his weight forsaken An undertaker overtaken ANOTHER ritOJIINEXT CATERER. A no less notable purveyor of his time and a person held high in the esteem of his people xaa Thomas J. Dorsey. He was born a slave in Maryland and when a young man escaped to this city, llo was subsequently apprehended and carried back, but through the efforts of the friends he had made during his short stay in Philadelphia sufficient money was raised to secure his release. He was self taught and enjoyed a national as well as local reputation.

Having known the horrors of slavery ho was one of the warmest friends of bis people, giving freely to their aid from the handsome competence be had acquired through his business. Though a man of little education, but endowed with natural intelligence and discernment, he had a taste for the society of those whose ideas on the slave question were in accord with his own and who could give him intellectual food and comfort. Charles Sumner, John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, Judge Kellcy, John Forney and other personages of note were constant visitors to his house. It is said that at one time, when a Democrat came to engage him, Dorsey said No 1 cannot servo a party who is disloyal to the government; and he," pointing to tho picture of Liu coin on tho wall, "is the government." During tho visit of the Grand Duko Alexis to this country in 1871, on the occasion of a grand reception given in his honor at the Academy of Music, Dorsey was refused admittance. This affront brought forth the following characteristic epistle ToTHRflnANt) Duke Alexis I write to Inform you that, desiring to purchase lickeln to the hall given in honor of your arrival in Philadelphia, I was refused the same for no other reason than because of my complexion.

cannot believe, representing as you do an empire which embraces within Its limits men of many different races, that this narrow and Illiberal act of caste and prejudice can in any way receive your sanction or approval. I attribute it rather to that flunky spirit in certain poor souled republican Americans who, while they are ever ready to lawn upon the great, arc ever ready to Insult the humble and friendless. Believing your spirit Is, like the aspirations of your mighty country, cosmopolitan, I am satislled that you approved of no such contemptible act of some Impoverished Varner Bros.
