We-all have heard of the fellow who was
penny-wise and pound-foolish. He GER
tainly must have left d numerous off
spring, Judging from the fact that in these
days when newspapers are so generally
read there are men who prefer to post
tour or five notices, written In almost IL
legible chirogrophy. ana thus expect the
people to be informed upon matters OF
public interest. For i~nstance-a contract
is to be let by the county or sope
corporation. and only a few are made
aware Of the fac, when one hun
bred people to one would know it
if advertised in the county newspaper.
And this to save two or three dollars of
tax upon several thousand people! Con-
slider both sides of the question and say il
you do not agree with US that such Snort
sighted parsimony is tantamount to the
grossest extravaganza. If advertised In
the newspaper perhaps there would be a
score of additional bidders for the con-
tract, and the county might save ten
times, yea fifty times the cost Of the adj

A SumptnOus Dinner.

A few evenings since there was given
at Delmonico's by an opulent gentleman
of New York City dinner which for
originality of design, magniticence OF
accessories, and perfection of execution
has never been approached on this con-
tinent, and probably not been equaled,
in modern times, in the other hem
isphere. The table was some sixty feet
long by about twenty feet broad. In
the centre was an oblong basin some
sixteen feet long, eight feet wide, and
two feet deep, filled with water, the
base banked with flowers. Rising above
and covering this at height OF twelve
feet was delicate wire screen supported
by posts garlanded with flowers, the
posts crowned by bird-cages filed with
songsters. On this fairy little lake
swan two splendid swans, loned for the
occasion by the Brooklyn Park Com
missioners, and the mammoth birds
glided as quietly and gracefully over
the miniature ocean as if in their wider
and more accustomed sphere at home.
At each end of this fairy expanse were
two golden fountains five feet high,
whence cherubic figures rained from
their heads tiny jets OF spray. Flank
ing these on either side were stately
golden candelabra radiant with lights,
and at frequent intervals along the table
were placed many-lighted candelabra of
silver. The extreme ends Of the table
were banked with huge mounds of flow
ers, the rarest and costiliest, each fra
grant hillock measuring ten feet long,
five feet wide, and three feet high. The
margin of the table, in front of the seats
and plates of the guests, was composed
of border of choice flowers, coming to
a semicircle in front of each plate. Lack
of space precludes further detail of
numberless other dainty bits of orna-
mentation that impaired brilliancy to
the general effect. Add to this fairy
creation procession of viands the variety
of which was extraordinary, the cookery
perfection, wines of rare vintage, music
which We'd with that at the opera, and
our readers can form glimmering idea
of what this banquet was for four-and-
seventy people-a banquet which, rs
regards regal splendor, artistic effects,
and culinary execution, may be placed
among the latest triumphs Of gastrono-
mic art. Cost Sl2, ,0O0.)

Wants a Father.

A funny incident occurred in the
United States House between Oakes
Ames and Judge Poland. The Judge,
it will be remembered, was made the
custodian by Kelley of the ten shares
of Credit Mobilier stock which he de-
manded from Ames as his property.
During the investigation Judge Poland
desposited the stock with the Sergeant
alarms. Lately be approached Ames
and asked him what he should do with
it. Ames replied that it belonged to
Kelley, and he had handed it over to
him when he demanded it that Kelley
had handed it over to Poland, and it
was immaterial to him what disposition
was made of it. "You had better con-
suit Kelley if you are anxious to get rid
of it," said Ames. There was due on
this stock dividends in securities of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company worth
about s., 900 which Ames had withheld
subject to the determination of the Nc
Comb suit. The question is, what is to
be done with it Kelley swears that
he will have nothing to do with it, and
Poland says he doesn't want to be in
vestigated for holding Credit Mobilier
stock. In the event of neither of them
demanding il Of the Sergeant-at-Arms,
that officer fears he may be investigated
also, and vows that if somebody doesn't
claim il he will turn il over the con-
science fund Of the Treasury Depart
ment
