The DRAMATIC READINGS LAST EvESrSs.-
Mr.. Neil Warner and Miss Grace Rawlinson
gave an entertainment at the Academy last
evening, consisting Of representations OF the
cottage scene from the Lady Of Lyons, the
balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, and
the csurtship scene from Richard III. Mr..
Warmers fine and spirited acting are we'll
known to our readers, and served him in
good stead in spite of all the disadvantages al
tendant upon the presentation Of Isolated and
detached scenes. Miss Rawlinson Is pleasing
in appearance, and her reading is graceial
and sympathetic. Mr.. Warner read Poe's
"Rayenn with considerable effect and truthful
ness; and the performance was concluded
with the admirable parlor comedy of delicate
Ground.n The part of 'Alphonse" was, OF
course, dispensed With, but Miss Rawlins9n as as
apaullne" and Mr.. Warner as "Sangfroid'
were very successful.

the further fact that at the second election to

Old Leather.

What becomes of all the old leather !?
We know that the scraps and trimmings
that fall from tle shoemaker's bench
are collected and sold, and that these
finally reach manufacturers of leather
board, which, in cheap shoes, is used to
give thickness to sole which has but
little real leather in it. But what be-
comes of worn out boots and shoes, and
all other articles made of leather which
have been cast aside as of no further
use? 1t was in pursuit of this inquiry
that we learned that worn out hose and
betting are cut up into soles for boots,
and that the "uppers " of boots and
shoes whereof the soles have become de-
moralized, are carefully separated, sub
jected to various processes, which make
them take on the semblance of newness,
and then trimmed round, leaving them
sufficiently large to make the "uppers +"
for smaller feet than they covered be-
fore. Thousands of such "uppers are
marketed annually, and it is not safe
for those who buy their boots without
regard to the standing of the dealers to
assume that their understandings are
new throughout.

An Old Dutch CITY,

A correspondent of the Tiun%ript,
writing from the old Dutch city OF Am
sterdam, says that in the thirteenth CEN
tury the city consisted of IL number of
fishermen's huts clustered together on u
salt marsh. After the siege of Antwerp,
active merchants of the sixteenth cen
tury, and clever manufacturers, driven
by Spanish persecution, sought refuge
a. .V..- 49, .74~--.-i uoll,,s1
where they entered into new CONNER
cial pursuits. Amsterdam then de-
pended principally on its shipping in
terests and at that period it engrossed
the carrying trade of the whole world,
and reared race of bold and hardy sea-
men, ever ready to fight the battles of
their country or to brave the tempests
of the deep. The ground plan of the
city is in the shape of crescent, its
walls surrounded by semi-oircular
canal, or wide fosse. Within the city
are found other canals, running parallel
to the outer one, and called, respectively
the Priusen, Keigers, Heeren and Singel
Gracht. Each is lined with very hand
some houses, and some of the public
buildings situated on these broad canals
will compare favorably with the finest
in Europe. Two hundred and ninety
eight bridges connect the ninety five
islands upon which Amsterdam is built.
The daily cost of keeping in repair and
the cleansing of dikes, bridges, etc is
calculated at two thousand two hun.
dred dollars. 1t is said that when Eras-
mus, in old times, reached Amsterdam,
he exclaimed, "These people, like crows,
hive on the tops of trees" The Dutch
East India Company build some enor-
nous corn warehouses; and in 1922,
having stored them with three hundred
and fifty tons of corn, the foundation,
being laid on piles, could not bear the
pressure, and corn and buildings disap-
peared in the mud beneath. In fact the
whole city is founded on piles, so that
heavy burdens are always transported
along the canals.

Cause of Chills and Fever.

DIR. r. I. Trail says, in The Phrenologi-
cat journal, that intermittent fever is
known to prevail Except in sporadic
cases. only in districts where there is a
large amount of vegetable matter in q
state of decomposition, and this occurs
more especially in times of drouth. In
dry seasons, rotting wood and vegcta-
ton, usually innocuous because under
water, is exposed to the atmosphere,
which it atlantis with the emanations
of decay. We have no evidence that
any amount of decaying vegetable mat
ter on a dry soil, though it may be very
unwholesome, is especially conducive to
the intermittent form of fever Moist
ure IS an essential factor in the causes.
But all swampy lands are more or less
productive of this type of fever in dry
seasons, and the prevalence of intermit-
tents in their vicinities always corres-
ponds with the quantity of decaying, or
ganic matter.
Another source of the disease not Of
ten thought of, and seldom alluded to
in medical books, is rotting wood, and
other decaying vegetable matter, in the
cellars and door-yards of houses which
are situated in damp places. Ii wood,
or any other decaying vegetable matter,
and water are allowed to accumulate in
the immediate vicinity of houses or
stables, the water will become stagnant,
and malarial gases will be generated,
causing intermittent fever in the eccu-
pants of the houses, and more Obscure,
though analogous affection in the do
mcstic animals.
Many farmers wonder why the men,
bers of their families are sick, and how
their domestic animals become diseased,
when, if they would only look at the
,stagnant water, decaying offal, and ac-
cumulated excrcment in the immediate
vicinity, they would find the explanation
in an ever-present malarial atmos-
phere.

Princesses as Milliners.

DIR. Doran wrote book on Mon
archs Retired from Business" but it has
been reserved for the last French Rev.
olution to convert princesses into milli-
ners. In the advertising column of a
London journal we find IN advertise
ment in the French language, announe-
ing that the Princess Pierre Bonaparte
had opened u millinery establishment,
Magasin des Mocies at II Bend Street, in
that city, and solicits the patronage OF
the fair ladies of the English aristoc-
racy.
An editorial notice in the same jour
nal refers to the fact, and states the rea-
son to be the poverty of the Princess,
and the urgent need of her doing some
thing to support her children.
This lady is the wife of the Prince
Pierre Bonaparte, whose chief notoriety
has arisen from his killing the Partisan
journalist Victor Noir, an incident
which probably precipitated the down.
fall of the Empire, by exasperating pop
ular feeling.
He was an officer OF the army, but
has been poor relation of the Emperor
for II long time, and dependent on the
pension granted him while the latter
had control of the public purse. He is
afflicted not only with this, and the
other evil of very bad temper, but a
martyr to the gout also.
His marriage with his mistress, the
mother OF his children, who was wo-
man of obscure position, greatly Offend
ed his imperial relatives when it took
place, shortly after his trial and it is
more than probable that they give him
and his the cold shoulder now.
The Empress still keeps up her mimic
court at Chiselhurst, but, not despising
economies, has recently advertised her
jewels for sale, and they are now on ex-
hibition at London jewelers.. But
the poverty of the imperial pair is of
that comparative kind which is very
comfortable, for the diamonds alone are
worth several hundred thousand pounds
sterling, not to mention "nosr eggs"
which have been securely put away.
We need not condole with taem but
our admiration and sympathy are due to
the brave woman who has the true
pride which prefers independence to de-
pendence, and who braves SCOTS and pre-
judices in converting her misfOrtunes,
and the historic name she bears, into
support for herself and her family.

Romantic Marriage.

At noon yesterday an event of unusual
interest took place at the Home for the
Friendless-the marriage OF Judson p
Esmay, a conductor on the Northwestern
Road, to Martha Arlingdale, one of the
pupils in the Industrial School.
As nearly as can be ascertained, the
history of Miss Arlingdale is as follows
Her father was an officer in the rebel
army, and was killed in 1864, and her
mother died shortly afterward, at Helena,
Ark, leaving the child helpless orphan
She was brought to Plainfeld ILL.,, by
Capt. james Baker, of the Union army,
and for six months had home in his
family, when she was sent to the Home
for the Friendless in this city. Having
been taught to read and to sew, she was
adopted into family at Clinton, Iowa,
but the death of her benefactor caused
her to be returned to the Home. On
her way hither she attracted the atten-
tion of her future husband, who placed
her in the hands of Mrs. Grant and Miss
Bowman, and requested permission to
visit her. For two and II half years he
has watched over his protege, only to
claim her yesterday as his bride. t
Mrs. Esmay Is sixteen years of age,
petite in figure, and brunette with
flashing black eyes. She has been fairly
educated, is amiable in temperament,
and was a general favorite with the lady
managers of the Home.
Mr.. Esmay is twenty-nine years old,
bears a high character, and has two
brothers in this city who are greatly
esteemed.
wedding based upon such romantic
circumstances necessarily created great
sensation. For some time the lady Di-
rectors of the Home have been prepar-
ing for the event, and the fair bride was
forced to accept an outfit at the hands
of those whose hearts she had reached.
The arrangements for the dress were
made by Mrs. Perry H. Smith, Mrs. Ed
ward Ely, and Mrs. II. NJ. Buell., and
material therefor was contributed by
several parties. Mrs. William G. Dow
decorated The reception-rooms with
flowers, and Mrs. Martin Andrews sent
the bridal bouquet.
The ceremony took place at noon in
the r1ading-room, Elder Boring officiut-
ing, in the presence of a large number
of ladies. The bridesmaids were eighteen
girls from the Industrial School. The
bride wore q drab travelling dress, gloves,
and veil, and a white hat trimmed with
drab, and relieved by rose-colored rib
bons. In her left hand was an elegant
bouquet. The groom was attended by
his two brothers. On the conclusion of
the ceremony, Elder Boring presented
a Bible, when tho party repaired to the
residence of the elder brother, and last
evening repaired to Oak Park, to spend
the honeymoon with a relative--C Chicogo
