A Thing Of Beauty.
From the n. Y. Evening Post

| A work of art in the precious metals
is on exhibition at Tifany's in Union
Square which may be truly described
as magnificent. It is an epergn,e, three
and half feet in height. of silver
richly set off with ornamentation of
gold, and weighing nearly eight hun
dred ounces. A minute account of it
would involve the use OF technicahties
that would be understood only by
those skilled III the decorative arts.
but a general description, together
with the circumstances that led to its
| manufacture, will be interesting to
all.
At the four angles of the base are the
hgures Of Peruvian laborers, ''peons y
IN the country in their native custume,
with picks and spades at hand. The
hrst panel of the base has the mono
gram ii. NJ, the next b0s-reIief of
the distant Arequipa, with a surveying
party III the foreground, on the third
panel locomotive rushes through the
arch, and the fourth has the inscription
"A Enrique Meiggs, recuerdo disus
Amigos, Passageros en- ell vapor Pana-
ma, ensu viaie Mollendo Lima,
Enere LIST, 1871
The names of the donors are engrav-
ed on eight shields suspended above
the Eanels, while the whole is sur
mounted by the genius of Peru, o noble
figure, bearing in one hand a rudder
as the symbol of guidance, and in the
other a winged wheel typical of pro-
gress, with the rising sun at her feet.
Upon the occasion of the opening of
the Peruvian railway from Mollendo to
Arequlpa, Mr.. Henry Meiggs, the CON
tractor, chartered one of the Pacific
Mail steamships to convey his personal
friends to the former place, the termin-
us on the sea coast. The officers OF the
government were conveyed in the Pc
ruv1an men-Of-war. The guests of
MIR. Meiggs, wishing to recognize his
hospitality in a becoming manner,
commissioned the we'll known house of
Rlbon 4 Munoz to order suitable
testimonial, which should at once ex-
press their gratitude and commemorate
the event The order was given only
two months ago to Tiffany & Co., and
the result is specimen of handicraft
of which the city may be proud.
This splendid trophy of one of the
greatest victories of peace will remain
on exhibition at Tiffany for few DAYS,
when it will be sent to its destination,
and Peru, SO long celebrated for it's ores
of silver, will be made richer by one of
the most beautiful works in that metal
that has ever been fashioned on this
continent.

soldier on whom an amputation had

took from him the proper quantity of
blood, which, after being freed from
albumen, by filtering, and raised by
artificial means to blood heat, was in
jected into the veins OF the dying sol
der. He began at once to recover.

Cluder. Consuming Locomotives.

Every one who has ever Travelled in a
railway cur must have been greatly AN
noyed by the flying dust and cinders
which prevent proper ventilation and
cause much discomfort 10 the person.
To avoid this disagrceable accompani-
ment Of railway travel, numerous expedi-
cnts have been tried but none with the
success attained by the recent invention
Of gentleman in Gloucester. The main
point of this contrvance lies in the fact
that the smokc-stack of the engine in
stead Of being vertical, ns ~ generally
the case, is bent backward and then up
ward, spreading widely Mt the mouth,
Within the stack, at the second curve, is
placed wire screen ut an angle of forty
five degrees with the course of the smoke
and the usual tirc-screen is stretched
across the mouth. The dust and clnders
carried into the stack are stopped by the
slanting screen, and fall back harmlcssly,
the second screen assisting by catching
what few grains the first allows to pass.
Besides these two screens, another means
Of prevention is provided in the shape Of
n small hotwater pipe in the stack, from
which spray is produced that vets the
cinders, dcadening them, and assisting
them in their passage into waste pipe
below, which carries them to box at
the side of the engine. This attachment
may be used or not, ut the pleasure Of
the engineer, being governed by stop
cock from the boiler.
This invention has been on trial upon
the Fitchburg Railroad during the past
three weeks with sufficient success to
warrant the inventor in pushing his plans
to perfection. The advantage of the
curved stack is not only in the proven
ton of dust and cinders upon the train.
but to avoid the damage by fires along
the track, which have been the cause of
so much expense to railway companies.
This latter object is completely attained
aud that without any apparent loss of
power. 1t was Mt first supposed that the
draft would be SO seriously checked by
the new stack rs to counterbalance the
other advantages, hut experiments have
shown that such is not the case, and that
steam is made equally as well as with the
ordinary stack.

Iady's TOllettes.

The following toilettes we're seen in
New York few days since ;
a very handsome costume OF chestnut
brown silk, the undcrskrt trimmed with
n deep box-plaited nounce. Between
every two plaits were long loops and ends
of silk trimmed with small tassels. A
full ovcrskirt, looped gracefully at the
sides, was trimmed to match, the under
skirt being tight fitting basque waist.
To complete this costume was very
pretty round hat, trimmed with ostrich
tips and aigrettc.
Another costume was OF two shades OF
olive green cashmere, the underskirt
trimmed with plaitings of both shades,
the outside garment consisting of a very
stylish polonaisc, trimmed with plaitings
headed with passementerie. A velvet
bonnet, trimmed with the two shades OF
green, completed this becoming cos
tune.
An elegant black silk costume had n
demi-train outside garment, black cash
mere Polonaise, richly embroidered and
trimmed with guipure lace, and black
velvet round hat, trimmed with peacock
feathers.
A beautiful and becoming costume
made of brown silk OF two shades, had
IN underskirt having deep puff at the
bottom, striped with velvet of the dark
shade. The polonaise was of n peculiar
shape, and was caught at one side with
cord and tassels, and Mt the other with
loops and long ends of velvet Of the dark
shade, and trimmed with fringe of the
two shades. A jaunty little round hat
completed this handsome suit
Another was a suit with royal purple
underskirt of narrow hounces, headed
with velvet of the deepest shade. The
skirt was richly trimmed with Chantilly
lace and velvet. Then there was an ele-
CANT cashmere shawl and bonnet of
purple velvet, trimmed with ostrich tips
and aigrette.

Death in Play.

sad accident occurred in the family
of Mr.. Daniel Beardsley, of the town OF
Andes, Delaware County, n. Y. During
the absence of the parents, their three
little boys, aged twelve, ten, and eight
years, went into the wood-house, which
was only separated from the kitchen,
where older members of the family were
at work, by thin partition. They were
soon engaged in the lively game of ste
up sheep" which consists of two chasing
one until he is caught, then taking him
into the woodhouse and tying him up by
the neck previous to hobbling. The
sheep tied up is supposed to become re-
frnctory, and jump and spring about
ard buck the boys when they come
within his reach. The oldest boy
Mark was caught and tied up by a
small wet leather string fastened to a
stout nail. As he sprang forwards to
buck ut his younger brothers the moose
frightened around his neck, but would
not slacken his terrible efforts to re-
lease himself We're taken by his brothers
as funny demonstrations agony was
laughed ut. He soon became quiet,
leaned forward on the string, and was
dead
