One of the greatest pieces of extra
vagance on record in this country is de-
scribed by New York correspondent OF
the Boston Transcript. 1t occurred one
day recently, in the shape of a private
dinner at Delmonico's. A wealthy Ger
man importer, who has retired from busl-
ness, and was about to sail for Europe,
decided, before leaving America, to invite
his friends to dinner. Covers were
ordered for seventy four guests, and carte
blanche was given to Delmonico for the
dinner. The large banquet hall of that
establishment was secured, the same hall
where the dinners to Dickens and Tyn-
dali were given. at the rate of fifteen dol
lars ticket. For nearly week the en-
ployes of Delmonico were engaged in
preparing for this dinner A table twen-
ty-four feet wide, extending the whole
length of the room. was constructed. In
the center of it an artificial pond was
made, with fountain, while around the
fountain live swans were floating. or
course the pond was Gagged over. The
center of the table was banked with
flowers from the waters edge at a cost OF
over $4,000. Perfume fountains were
constructed in various parts OF the table,
and to add to the intoxication of the
senses Bernstein's full band of thirty
five pieces was engaged to furnish the
music. The dinner commenced at eight
O'Clock in the evening, and continued for
couple of hours, after which dancing
took place until midnight, when the din
ner, or supper, as it was then called, was
resumed for an hour or two, followed by
dancing untilfou in the morning. The
bill for this dinner amounted to just

President responded by paying tribute to
the memory of Washington, and thanking
Americans for their expressions of sympathy
for the new Republic.
The new treaty between France and Ger
many, providing for the evacuation Of the

It is announced from London that the
vacant Premiership had been refused by Ms.
Disraeli, the reason stated being his belief,
concurred in by Earl Derby, "that the Con-
servatiyes cannot accept the responsibility
of forming a government at this time.''
The Irish residents of London made a
grand public demonstration at Hyde Park
on the 10th, in favor of home rule IN ireland
and amnesty for the imprisoned Fenians.
Everything passed off quietly.
It was rumored in London on the 18th that
Mr.. Gladstone would resume the Premier

A New YORK gambler some time ago
had an attack of paralysis in the right
forefnger, caused by overwork in his
profession The disease has now ex-
tended itself to nearly every joint and
muscle in his body, and, to quote from
the World, from which we get the informa-
tion above stated, "the arms hang useless
and absolutely feshless-mere skin and
bone-the intercostal muscles are gone,
and the man can make no respiratory
movements requiring their action; the
neck, 8sophagus, trachea, and spinal col
umn are clad in skin, and chat is all, the
processes of the latter standing out as
plainly as in skeleton. The head, un
supported hangs down on the chest, as
if it were merely tied on. BY a move
ment of the loins the man can throw his
head over so that it will fall resting on
his shoulders and back, but otherwise
than thus, mechanically. he cannot con-
troll its motion What parts the disease
will next attack is a question with the
physicians at Bellevue, where the case
was shown yesterday, but the result is
hardly doubtful Breathing is done now
wholly by the diaphrs gm, and must cease
if that be attacked"
