The calico Rail.

The Peabody was in blaze of beauty
and glory last night If Charles Dick
ems could have been present be would
have embraced every Dolly Warden at
the ball, so great would have been his
pleasure at seeing the realization of his
fancitul picture of London life during
the Lord George Gordon riots. The
cards of invitation were headed Calico
ball for the benefit of the Orphans Home
and st. Lazarus church. A list OF
twenty-eight managers was appended.
On the back of the card the following
notice was printed: Ladies are re-
quired to wear calico dresses and re-
quested to bring one dollars worth OF
calico or homespun for the orphans.
BY 10 clock the dancing hall Of the
Peabody was full to overAowing with the
Dolly Warden family. The gentlemen
were at loss what to wear, consequent
ly they appeared in different styles Of
dress, from the swallow-tail and kids to
the business suit and no kids. The Ia
dies, however, were all Vardens-a good
looking family, possessing a family re-
semblance, so far as dress was concerned.
The effect of dress on certain styles
of beauty was clearly apparent to the
man with hypercritical turn of mind.
The Warden garment suited some-was
becoming, often bewitching but on
others it was an immense failure. Lord
Dundreary's iuane remark would have
some point if expressed at the Warden
ball: lone girl is as good as another.
l dare say, better" We confess to a
weakness for the usual ball dress. 1t
throws fictitious attraction around the
wearer that produces a fine effect,
whereas the calico effect is destitute of
attraction, either fictitious or its oppo-
site. But the calico ball was a great
success, and thoroughly enjoyed. The
dancing was kept up until the early vii
lage rooster saluted the morning in his
usually happy and successful manner.

The SignI Service on the Ocean.

Mr.. T. F. Townsend, who has charge
of the signal Office at Cape May, has
submitted to the Treasury Department
st Washington proposition to extend
the benefits of the signal servise system
to our ocean commerce by using the
Myers code of signals for conveying
information to vessels approaching the
Atlantic coast. The plan of Mr.. Town
send embraces, for the present, only
an area extending ten miles south OF
Cape Henlopen, to New York City but
should the experiment succeed there 1T
will doubtless be so enlarged as to in
clude the most important portions OF
our marine frontier, The naoo1als oper-
andi suggested is simply to repeat the
daily weather bulletins from the var
ious lighthouses and life-boat sta atlons
by means of the signals aforesaid, thus
giving the commanders the necessary
knowledge upon which to base their
movements If the weather is reported
as likely to be favorable, the vessels
NAV stand in for a harbor; if a storm
is close at hand they can push for the
open sea and thus avoid the dangers OF
a lee shore Coastlng craft, particular
ly, can, by this arrangement, be thor
onghly posted in regard to the position
of the barometer on land by watching
the signals displayed from the. stations
as they sail along, and thereby escape
many perils which are now unayoid'
able. We trust the government vii
give the experiment fair trial, for the
results promised justify much more
liberal expenditure than is likely to be
needed.

A Dentists Joke.

A San Francisco gentleman recently
visited dentist for the purpose of
Willing away half-hour or so, and,
while there. lady came in with her
little girl, wanting tooth or two drawn
for the latter. The child cried when
placed in the chair, and declared that
she would not have her teeth attended
to unless the strange gentleman would
have tooth drawn first, and, to please
the little patient, he took her place
with wink at the doctor. The latter
took two or three instruments, while
the gentleman reclined in the chair
smilingly gazing at the ceiling for the
assurance of the watching child, and,
after softly poking at two or three teeth,
to the horror of the obiging gentleman
he commenced boring into his jaw
where tooth had once been extracted,
and, before he could offer protest, a
tremendous wrench brought out large
root, which the doctor held up to the
child with a diabolical grin on his face.
The gentleman rolled off the chair,
and, with an expression of unutterable
pain in his countenance, gazed a mo-
ment reproachfully at his friend and
left the office. The little one did not
seem to be greatly encouraged by the
exhibition

An Old. Fashioned Dinner Party.

The venerable Caleb Gushing, whose
head is somewhat bald but the hair
scarcely tinged with gray, was invited
to celebrate his seventy-second birth
day Tuesday evening at a dinner party
given in his honor at Wormley's, Wash
ington. Samuel Hooper, of Boston,
presided, while seated on his right was
the guest of the evening and on his
left Senator Anthony. The foot of the
table was graced by the presence of
General Butler, on whose right sat
George William Curtis and on
his left General Banks. Attorney
General Williams and Senator Chan
dler were side partners on the right, and
Ben Perley Poore and Daniel G. King
man, journalists for half century past,
sat vas o-vas with the Senator from
Michigan and the head of the Depart
ment of Justice. Tt was in every
sense an d-fashioned dinner party,
and in response to the toast to Mr..
Gushing, proposed by the youngest
loc king of the the gentlemen present,
he replied that he hoped to return to
the United states at the conclusion OF
his labors before the Geneva Confer
ence more youthful than ever.

Murder of Whole Family i'll arizona


A correspondent of the Alta Califor
MIA reports that Mr.. J. W. Baker, keep
er of what is known as the 'Rlue
Water Station" =" in Pima County, Ari-
zona, about sixty-fve miles west of
Tucson, together with his wife and one
or two children, were brutally murder
ed on the 10Th of December In a
corral adjoining the house were discov-
cred the dead bodies of Mr.. Baker, his
wife, and child (boy), about seven or
eight years of age, stretched out upon
the ground, completely riddled with
rifle balls and buckshot The body of
a child, about five months old. was also
lying near by, which had died from ex-
posure. Mrs. Baker had evidently
desperately struggled with her murder
ers. The dress covering her right arm
was burnt, extending from the hand up
to near the elbow, while her arm and
breast were full of buckshot.
It is certain that the deed was done
by three Mexicans, whom MIR. Baker
had employed only one week before to
cut hay for him from a ranch near the
house and naul it up to the corral, as
he had always to keep on hand supply
of hay and grain for the animals at the
station. These men were missing.
Their object must have been solely
plunder, but it does not appear that
they got very much after all. They de
camped with some three or four heaC
of Bakers horses, and carried off {
small amount of money from trunk.
and other portable misunderstanding
thoroughly ransacked the house before
they left. They did not disturb any o.
the cattle on the place. 1t is pretty
certain that they passed through Tue
son on their road to Sonora, which
seems to be favorite hiding place fol
most all Mexican bandits who commi

aThousands of Door children OF this city are sleep
ing in boxes or skuking in doorways, or shiverinl
in cellars without proper clothing or shoes, and bl
half fed.'-N. Y. Tribune.
The rain in torrent falls in the street
Patters along with her naked feet
A child through the sleet;
to wear, and something to eat,
She asks as she goes from door to door
Only morsel-a trihe, or more 1867
From those who have hearts to pity the poor
Who beg in the street.
God pity the child! Already with want
Her pale cheek sunken, her rainent so scant;
God pity the child
For rnortals are prone few blessings to grant,
Withsn there is comfort, and warmth, and light
without how dismal and dreary the night,
To the child who roams in pitiful plight
. Through the tempest wild!
Still nosnetA the wind-still faileth the rain;
Not tear-drop starts.
Tbolfaffrvery feature reveals her pain
An is there no room in those homes of pride
For shivering child at the fireside-
For the waif cast out on the p1tiless tide
Of human hearts? q?
Painting with hunger and pinched with the cold,
Under the steps of a building old
She wearily creeps.
Some morsels of bread despatched with mould,
Which charity gave, with scanty bone,
She takes and making her supper alone
Half famlshed, poor thing when al are gone
She bitterly weeps!
A crust and bone! just over the way,
My lady's pet poodle would turn away
In highest disdain
If supper so mean before him lay
Nursed in home of luxurious ease,
The poodle reclines on a lady's knees,
While starving child sleeps under dripping caves,
Out in the rain
Is there no heart in some womanly breast,
To open its portals to child unblest-
To bid her come in,
And soothe all her grief, her anguish to rest ?
No voice to bless her with sympathy mild?
No hand to rescue this suffering child,
TO keep her through long years undefled,
Untempted by sin?
Oh mothers, with little ones at the knee,
But think what the lot of a child must be,
Left helpless-alone-
To buffet the waves of life's troubled sea
Cast out on the world, to starve and to freeze
And We, who live lives of plenty, andease,
By shetering innocents like to these

It is probably not generally under
stood that the Bessemer steel process
is really an American invention, and
that the term itself is misnomer.
The process was discovered and used
by a Mr.. Kelly, in the state of Ken
lucky, long before Mr.. Bessemer was
ever heard of. AS soon as Mr.. Kelly
heard that Bessemer had brought out
the process in England, he at once ap-
piled for patent, placing the matter
in the hands of patent solicitor, who
retained the papers just long enough
to notify Bessemer, the latter securing
the patent. However, Kelly had pro
cured caveat, and after hearing by
the Commissioner of Patents, the case
was decided in his favor Some years
after the patents of Kelly, Bessemer
and Mushet were consolidated in one
company All the patents having ex-
pired in 1871, renewals were refused to
all except Kelly, who secured an exten-
! sion of seven years.
