A Russian correspondent writes from St.
Petersburg TO the New York Herald. n
The Hotel du - Is on on a certain street,
not very far from the Bolshoy Theater there
fore it is convenient to dine there if one
wishes TO visit the Italian Opera after dinner
A gentleman, a real friehd-T know he was
a friend, from the remark he made"-said to
me: Here is a ticket to the opera, and we
will dine first at the Hotel du -" Well
we did dine. Did you ever dine in RussiaY
II strikes me you have not but | have not
spoken heretofore Of schnapps, the Russian
calls it za-ksaska, or an appetitive; yes, that
is II exactly. 1t is an appetitiye; caviar, salt
salmon, cheese, vadka, rum, gin, brandy-try
it before dinner; but must notify you, or
your host, thatifit is done, the dinner should
be on grand scale, or else provisions will be
found scarce. | advise you, when you come
to Russia never to take French or Italian
soup at Scavonic house, but take stchee or
balch; rely upon native art or talent. In the
eating line each nation knows what most be-
comes its digestion, wbets the appetite or
adds vigor to the exhausted system. am
sure, after looking at these full-cheeked
ruddy Russian girls, or the portly, round
faced Russian merchant, you will repudiate
bullion, macaroni, and such like trash, and
betake you to good hyperborean fare-5ome-
thing that will stick to the ribs, and put
heater in you that will make the man laugh
at twenty degrees below zero of Reaumur.
The dinner consists of certain number Of
courses, among which you will find one cold
dish. IL may be cdchen de ldiL pressed glib
lets, or fish. The Russian sucking pig, served
cold, is national dish, and can only be
found near the North pole, and is very closely
allied to Ursa Major. In fact, you will recol-
lect in your far Western life how fond bruin
is of young pigs. Now, like produces like
over the round world, and wherever you find
bruin you will also find relish for the infant
porker. ] acknowledge the corn; | like the
Scavonic pig, and have ever admired his
good qualities, from the first got of him at
the Toilsa in Moscow. However, if the dish
should turn up cold Albany

it for the sake of the cook, who has been try
ing to please you, for this is by appointment
Russian dinner The true Russian must
have one dish of fish, or else the dinner is not
complete. So if he does not give you Cat
chena trout or sterlet he must be allowed to
give you something else in the fish line. You
need no more than taste of the fish or pig, for
you may rest assured he will give you cauli-
flower, outlets and game; beef or veal you
have, perhaps, refused, but you will not refuse
game and salad, perhaps lettuce or the
finest red cabbage, salt cucumbers, pickled
cherries, &c. A glass of sherry has been
offered after soup Claret stands on the ta-
BILE without compliments. A glass of ale
has been offered. Champagne comes in
after fair progress, and continues till coffee is
announced.

Proper Mode of Making Presents.

Among friends, presents ought to be made
of things of small value; or, ifvaluable, their
worth should be derived from the style of the
workmanship, or from some accidental cir
cumstance, rather than from the inherent and
solid richness. Especially, never offer to a
lady gift of great cost it is in the highest
degree indelicate, and looks as if you were
desirous of placing her under obligations to
you, and of buying her good will. The gifts
made by ladies to gentlemen are of the most
refined nature possible; they should be little
articles, not purchased, but deriving price
less value as being the offspring of their gen.
tie skill little picture from their pencil or
triAe from their needle. A present should be
made with as little parade and ceremony as
possible. lit is small matter, gold pencil
case thimble TO u lady, or an affair of that
sort, it should not be offered formally, but in
an indirect way. Emerson says: "Rings
and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies
for gifts. The only gift is portion ofthyself
Thou must bleed for me. Therefore, the poet
brings his poem; the shepherd his lamb; the
farmer, his corn; the miner, agem; the sailor,
coral and shells; the painter, his picture; the
girl, handkerchief of her own sewing"

A Military Clergyman.

Rev. Alfred Bronson, now sixty-seven
years of age, and has been for forty-two
years a minister in the Methodist Church,
preached a sermon in Detroit on Sunday.
The Free Press thus alludes to some of the
personal antecedents of the revered gentle
man:
His first visit to Detroit was, we believe in
1872, as a soldier of the American Army un-
der General Harrison. He came at that time
from Ohio, and assisted in recovering the ad-
vantages lost by Hull. He was at the battle
Of the Thames, and at the killing of Te-
cumseh. At the conclusion of the war he re-
turned to Ohio. His next visit was in 1922
when he came as minister of the Gospel,
connected with the Methodist Episcopal
Church. His circuit then embraced all oi
the American settlements in Michigan, and
the town of Maumee, in Ohio. He remained
here one year, preaching in the old Council
house most of the time. In his congregation
were frequently seen such men as Gov. Cass,
Judge Witherell-the father of the present
Circuit Judge-Major Rowland, and other
names connected with the early history oil
this State.

A TANTALIzING GAME.--Somebody says,

which convulsed the whole company with
laughter. In playing game Of forleits @

times through the back of the chair" Ac-
cording to Instructions, he knelt down, and
made a desperate lunge at the lady's face
through the chair-back, but was doomed to
defeat by the lady moving quickly aside
But he was determined not to be foiled in
this manner, and tried repeatedly to reach
the lady's face with his lips which were pro-
truded to their utmost capacity; but as she
constantly evaded him, he became discour-
aged at last, and got up, and was making
tracks to his seat, when the judge interrupted
him with, "You did not pay your forfeit, sir

MAY DAY IN BOsToN.--It is well known
that May Day is always in New England one
of the coolest of the year. Nevertheless, the
reverence for old traditions is so strong that
the Bostonians are in the habit ON that day of
dressing their children in ballet costume and
sending them into the street, with artificial
roses on their heads, and with festive ban
ners in their hands. But, on Tuesday, a
small boy paraded their streets, whose ap-
pearance was a wholesome sarcasm on all
unreasonable demonstrations. He was clad
in furs and mufllers and in his mittened fist
he bore banner with this cruelty appropri-
ate device: ''To the Skating-Park." He was
unconscious of its meaning, for he could not
read, aud he had pulled it from the top of an
omnibus sleigh which it had decorated in the
early winter. But the lesson was well put.

ASHowER OF IcE-cAKEs IN ENGLAND.-The
London Times Of late date says that about two
weeks ago a terrible snow storm ragged in
Upper Wasdale, accompanied on Longston
Beck and Swinhope Fell by a singular rolling
noise in the air, which resembled the noise Of
musketry. On the morning of the 10th ult.
many of the shepherds proceeded on to the
Fell to look after their sheep, when they were
astonished to find the ground, for the space
of a mile in length and halfmile in width
covered with large pieces of ice, which had
evidently fallen from the clouds. 1t was
as though mountain of ice had been sud
denly shattered and the fragments scattered
over the earth The blocks were of such q
size that at little distance they resembled a
flock of sheep. Providentially, neither sheep
nor human beings were on that part Of the
moor during the storm, for to have been
struck by one of these .pieces of ice would
have entailed instant death. .... ..

REGULARITY OF THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE.
The Japanese write like the Chinese, in col
umns, from the top to the bottom of the
paper, beginning at the right hand side.
The character is less fantastic and far more
running than the Chinese. THERE'S, indeed, not
the slightest similarity between the Ian
guages, the one being monosyllabic and the
other polysyllabic. The japanese words are
often of unconscionable length, but the
sounds are musical, and not difficult to imi-
tate; whereas the Chinese words, though of
one syllable, consist generally of gulp or
grunt, not attainable by those whose ears
have not become thoroughly demoralized by
a long residence in the country. We learned
more Japanese words in week than we had
of Chinese in a year, and in making small,
rough vocabulary, found no difficulty in so
allocating the the letters of the English al
phabet as to convey to memory fair repre-
sentation of the sound wished to recollect

Singular Suit for tho po..essIon or Child.

Singular Suit for the Possession Of n Child.
A remarkable contest for the possession of
q beautiful little boy, some five or six years
old, says the New York News, is now going
on in the Supreme Court in our city The
facts in relation to the case are somewhat re-
markable, and exhibit many phases of char
acter peculiar to the fast men" and 'fast
women" of our city. The mother of the
child, who now denies the claims of the re-
spondent Capt. Miller to the paternity of
the child, was beautiful and prepossessing
when in her teens. She was early married
TO a Mr. Foster. The honeymoon had hardly
waned before she procured a divorce from
her husband and accepted the companionship
OF Capt. Miller, gentleman of wealth and
prepossesstng appearance. In due time the
child in question was born, and the Captain
was assured by the mother, and felt in his
own mind that he was its father. The Cap
tain, however, did not conclude to make her
an honest woman by kneeling with her at
the hymeneal altar. In the course of year
or so he ceased to visit her entirely, taking
the child as his, and by mutual agreement
with the mother to remain his, he paying her
fair remuneration in ready money for her
part of and interest in the transaction. The
lady, after enjoying herself nsingle blessed
ness under the smiles of fast gentlemen a
sufficient length of time, as she thought, in
termarried with Mr.. Atkinson, and now, as
Mrs. Fanny Atkinson, brings suit for the
custody of the child. She sets forth in her
affidavit that Capt. Miller is not the father of
the beautiful boy and that he is engaged in
the slave trade. These reasons, her counsel
sagely argues TO the Court, are sufficient to
warrant the granting of her request The
gallant Captain denies both allegations, also,
under oath, and his counsel shrewdly asks ii
the Captain is not his father, who is? and
insists that the fair relator shall answer.
This she refuses to do. Much testimony has
been taken in the case, and it is not yet con-
cluded

GREAT HoRsE-sHoEING MATcH.-The de-
velopment of muscle leads not always to the
prize ring. In Troy, N. Y, the other day
John Mckinney and Patrick Kennedy, black
smiths both, had an extraordinary trial of
skill. The former challenged the latter to
compete with him in making horse-shoes for
the championship The challenge was ac-
cepted, and the working time fixed at ten
hours; each man, with his "helper," went at
the metal. Their shops were surrounded
through the day with an interested throng,
and ropes were stretched about the forges to
give sufficient space. At the expiration OF
the ten hours Kennedy had made 24O shoes,
and Mckinney 2l0 Near the close of the
contest the "helper" of the latter tainted

PRICE ONE CENT.
Extraordinary Phenomena-A Shower Of
Metoric Stones in Central Ohio.


A correspondent in New Concord, Nus
kingnm County, in letter published in the
Columbus Statesman, mentions singular
phenomena in that neighborhood, day or
two since. II was an astounding noise in the
sky like the roar of a cannon, which was fol-
lowed by the fall of a number of stones,
weighing from two to fifty pounds. Since
the date of our correspondents note we have
received other letters from the same region
Of country, which not only corrOborate his
statement, but add greatly to the singularity
of the phenomena. II appears that the noise
alluded to was heard through a wide range of
country, and that stones of the kind des-
cribed were found freshly imbedded in the
earth In the same manner, miles apart.
In Morgan, Muskingum, Coshocton, Nor
row and Tuscarawas Counties the explosion
was distinctly heard. Near McConnellsville
several boys observed huge stone descend
TO the earth, which they avered looked like
red ball, leaving line of smoke in its wake.
A gentleman walking in his field, near New
Concord, heard terrific crash like thunder,
which lasted half minute, and then plainly
saw large body descending through the air
in an angling direction, with a velocity ap-
parently much greater than it could have at
tanned by its own momentum. Going to the
spot where IL touched the ground, he found
a rock, weighing over fifty pounds, embedded
in the earth depth of two feet. The phen-
omena seems to be unprecedented. These
stones were found nearly fifty miles apart,
although the explosion was heard at all the
the places mentioned from the direction of
New Concord. II occasioned a great deal of
CONSERVATION in that section of the country

ENGLAND COMING TO AMERICA TO PURCHASE
SILKs.--An agent, from one of the largest
silk houses in the world, Messrs. Morrison,
Dilton & Co., London, is at this time in New
York for the express purpose of buying silks
from our importers. The news having
reached Europe that silk goods were selling
at once dispatched to buy up the bargains
for the London market. He, however, ar
rived when the principle auctions had closed,
and prices had taken an upward turn, which
may probably defeat his enterprise.
