The Grand Review at Lciig Champs.

A correspondent gives the following
account of the Emperor's review Of the
German troops at Long Champs:
At exactly half-past ten o'clock the En-
peror drove up to the back of the grand
stand in an open carriage, attended by
Dragons and the great officers of his
household. Aighting on the step of
the grand entrance, he took horse
and cantered across the field toward
the general staff, which had followed
along the line. As the Emperor APP
peared the bands played "Heil Dir, "
and all the troops saluted him. The
Emperor looked exceedingly we'll, and
rode dashingly, despite his lingering
indisposition. AS he rode down the
front OF the line, the flags were dropped,
and the men gave three ringing cheers.
The Emperor kept his hand on his he'll
met and smiled upon the soldiers.
Passing Bismarck he waved his hand in
friendly manner twice. Having passed
up and down the lines, the Emperor
galloped across the field to point 200
yards to the right of the grand stand,
facing the troops, where he took po-
sltion in front of the Grown Prince
Sitting erect on his charger, and sur
veying the troops for moment with
deep emotion, the order was given to
march, The bands struck up, and, with
splendid step, the 10000 men marched
past in SO perfect a manner that each
battery presented a profile as of only

THE latest London invention will
have immense popularity, if it is equal
to what is claimed for it. It is called
"the digitorium-a small dumb
piano" 1t is said that by means of it
pupils can learn to play on all instru-
ments keyed like the piano, without
making noise.

End OF 4 Demi-MOnde,

Mabel Grey has died of consumption,
and London misses a celebrity better
known than the thousands of virtuous
and titled women who passed her car
riage on Rotten Row with averted
heads, and whose appearance was as
attractive to the multitude as that of
the Princess Alexandra herself. Her
portrait in the shop windows claimed
precedence of that of the Bishop of
Oxford. She had dozen Peers in her
train, at one time was engaged to mar
ry the heir of one of England's Oldest
dukedoms, and numbered the naughty
Prince of Wales among her admirers.
For three or four years Mabel Grey
has held undisputed sway as queen of
the demi-monde, long reign for the
sovereign of that unstable kingdom,
the glory of the concert hall, the un-
approachable deity of all the cads of
London, and the favorite affection of
the golden youth. How well she play
ed her part is shown by the fact that
only a liberal annuity sufficed to buy
her off from the pursuit of young
and foolish nobleman of high rank,
who promised to marry her. The good
mothers of London Will feel easier now
that she is finally removed from the
scene of her wicked conquests, but the
poor to whom she was as generous as if
she had been virtuous, and more SO,
will be the only mourners of Mabel
Grey.

SOME idea of the rapid formation at
and near the mouth of the Mississippi

point near what is known as Cupitt's

four feet of water, there is now an is
land, nearly, if not quite mile long,

SuperstitiOns.

The Rev. J. f. W. Ware, writing
of superstitions, says: $50 if a bride
stands before a looking glass there is
woe in store I declare to you that of
all the couples I have married these
five and twenty years, I don't believe
one has stood anywhere else, and not
one of them has turned out badly, ex-
cept in one case where there wasn't any
looking glass at all, sand where the
bridegroom had one foot in the grave
and the bride the tartar in both eyes;
and [ alwaya blamed myself for not
having had the moral courage. to refuse
to have anything to do with it; but I
had been led a long way at night by a
total stranger, left in strange house
by myself long while, and when fin
ally the old man hobbled in with that
vinegar-visaged shrew on his arm, who
had already done one husband, I
could only gasp, Is that what have
got to do2 and did it. 7e
In Baltimore, a lady, transiently
stopping at Barnum's City Hotel, com
planned of being sick, and ordered her
dinner to be sent to her room What
was the astonishment and alarm of the
waiter when she ordered dishes to the
amount of thirty-four, besides sauces
and pickles of various kinds, carefully
marked off on the bill of fare Among
these dishes were prominent: English
pea soup, boiled haddock, roast beef,
fillet of beef, stuffed turkey, "pork and
sauerkraut," with a plate of "Irish
stew, representing different national
tiles, and these were properly settled
by "boiled onion" corn-starch pud-
ding quivered on the pastry throne, and
"loin of veal ruled the roast. Eight
different dessert. delicacies, beginning
with cooling cream and ending with O
hot cup of coffee, ended the sick lady's
choice dinner, but not her life. She at
least showed herself lover of all ma
tions by partaking of their different
dishes, not sighting the French "ga-

An Immense Cattle Yard Project.

LII was currently reported some
months since that parties in New York
contemplated establishing large stock
yard near ST.. Louis, Mo. There is
now positive assurance of such project
being carried out. John B. butcher, a
heavy cattle-dealer, well-known both
east and west, aud Mr. Mckee, of New
York, have purchased 430 acres of land
about a mile from East St. Louis, and
will proceed Immediately to erect the
necessary buildings for mammoth
stock-yard. Included in the improve
rnents will be large hotel for drovers
and dealers, and bank for the conve-
nience of the operators. It is designed
to expend $1,000 900 in the improve
ments of various kinds.
THE manufacture of cheap plated,
rubber, and horn jewelry, says the Bos-
ton Commercial Bulletin, has grown to
be very large, prosperous and increas-
ing business, and in Boston alone there
are five or six wholesale dealers who
represent capital of between $500, ,0OO
and S40O, 900. The volume of trade the
past three or four months foots up a
larger aggregate than at the correspond
ing time year ago, and manufacturers
are now generally busy making up sup
plies for the spring trade. Large ord
ers are being constantly filled for ship
ment to California, made up of wide
varieties, and the Eastern and Provin-
cial trade has been steady and satisfac,
tory, while the West are not slow in
providing themselves with these goods
of New England manufacture. Many
new styles of pins, buttons, ladies sets,
&C., are now coming on the market, and
the demand for "badge pins" is almost
incredible, as every society and club
adopts some emblem to be worn as 6
pin. Rubber and horn goods are very
fashionable and popular, and, owing to
their comparative chearness, are sold
in large quantities both for home ust
and for export. -

HENRY BENECKE of Chicago is bar
Der, who obtained a widespread news
paper celebrity through an unsuccess-
full attempt at suicide, inspired, as he
informed the Coroner in note written
previous to the act, by disinterested

her affections upon another. 1t would
seem that such an exhibition of self
abnegation could scarcely have failed to
restore to Mr.. Benecke the love for which
he endeavored to sacrifice his life. In.

cidal attempt ruse to find out the
true character of his wife. He artless-
ly adds that he succeeded very much,
and is fully satisfied with the result, as
