Dining mud E,cedinp.

Under this caption the New York Times con-
tains an interesting article, in which it claims
that the art of dining, like most of the fine arte
is yet with us comparatively in its infancy
While the French are new acknowledged leaders
in the arts Of the cuisine the Times believes
that New York will yet weld the sceptre of cult
nary as well as of commercial supremacy
The remarks of the Times were called out by
the announcement that Lelands at Long Branch
proposed this summer to adopt the Continental
plan of placing before the guests a few choice
dishes of well prepared food, varied every day,
instead Of profering them the huge bill of fare to
be found generally at our American hotels.
"All men who reverence their own dinners the
Times says, " and have a patriotic regard for
the stomachs of their countrymen will hail with
joy the innovation which the Leands are about
to introduce at the Ocean Hotel" The editor
hopes their example will be followed generally,
and closes as follows
''We do not believe that tile hotel dinner can
much longer survive the spread OF enlightenment
and the cultivated demand for dinners instead
of feeding bouts. This enterprise Of the Lee
lands is doubtless the opening wedge in a move
ment which will revolutionize our hotel life. il
is best that it should begin at the watering pla
ces, both because the evils of over-feeding arc
there most prominent and most hurtful, and be-
cause the shortnesH of the season Is favorable
for giving the experiment u fair trial. That il
will succeed we do not doubt, and as little tina
its general adoption will have no slight influenc
on the health and comfort of our people"

The Mania for Autographs.

That all the useless ways of spending money
have not yet been abolished has again been strik-
ingly proven by the sale in England of Sir. VIM.
Tites collection Of old and curious books and
manuscripts, which Melted the neat little sum of
el9,944. The autograph letters Of various cele-
brated persons averaged from Gl0, to Gao, each,
but some went much higher which could moi
have been expected to possess any special inter
est. One could understand the enthusiasm
which could consider an autograph letter OF
Cromwell's giving details of military exploits
before Gainsborough, as cheap as ei06; and the
original manuscript of Charles Lambs inimita
BILE ''Dissertation on Roast Pig which sold fol
1876, would have unique value to any literar,
man but when next in the list we find an ill
spelt letter signed with the scrawling initial
of Nell Gwynn, the worthless mistress of one o
the worst of England's worthless kings, goinl
OF for EOS, we recognize the mystery of TIN
mania OF collectorship. Sir. VIM. lite ha
spent his whole life in boarding such treasure
as these, and now they are scattered to becom
seed for hundred similar useless collections

because s'one fool makes many"

noticed u letter in your excellent paper the
other day, signed "Y. NJ G. A." in which the
writer, who is evidently young gentleman,
protested against the indeeency of promiscuous
bathing at our watering places, and the impro-
priety of ladies bathing-dresses. cannot help
thinking that this young man is very young in
deed. He evidently has the silly prudery which
is rot out of place in very young girl, but
which is very ridiculous in a young man who i'll
tends to become at some day husband and
father.
As an old lady, feel the right to speak on the
subject of ladies bathing in public. My own
daughters have always done it with my warmest
appreciation, and should never consent to have
them enter the surf unless in company with men
who could look after them and Keep them out
of danger. DO not consider that there 10 any
thing indicate about the bathing dresses worn
by women. They cover the form completely,
and tho fact that they permit the outlines of
the body to be seen after the dresses becomo
wet is matter of no consequence.
The fact that women actually have bodies il
one which it is silly for US to pretend to ignore
especially in this age, when art has made us all
so familiar with the human form. There il
nothing immoral in our bodies, and the men and
women who as painters and sculptors are con-
stantly made familiar with the undraped form
| do not have their morals contaminated thereby
So far from Directing to the present style OF
bathing-d dress because it reveals too much,
| think it would be greatly improved if it were
made with short sleeves and short legs 20 that
the wearer could secure more freedom of limb
If Y. M. O. A. does not like it, he can easily stay
away from the sea- shore. Aud 1 will say, il
conclusion, that he is to be pitied who, standing
on the beach in full view of the majestic ocean
can see nothing except the wet bathing-dress OF

,The Size OF Dniries.

Arithmetic, which in most cases is found 30
reliable, utterly fails when applied to the in
crease Of adairy and in many instances the dairy
man has found to his cost that twice ten does
not always make twenty, or that the product of
ten COWS from given number of acres is not
always doubled when the number of acres and
COWS is multiplied by two.
The following from correspondent Of the
Country Gentleman shows what may be done
with a small dairy, and furnishes the moral for
our tale.

forty acres on shares. We have a butter dairy,
and send to Philadelphia market by IL neighbor.

1873 we had but seven milking COWS, one of
which was in profit the first time, and is now
coming three years old. Another is a "three-
litter" as it is called from misfortune at caly-
ing time. Tie seven averaged in the year two
hundred and six pounds of butter apiece. We
realized 40 cents per pound, net average of the
season. In 1872 our dairy did better seven
COWS, averaging 240 pounds per cow

Besides the few, the immortal names that are
not born to die. about whom the poet tells us,
there are others who hold on to life and author
ship by mere teiuity, and will give up neither at
any price. The author of the formidably solid
looking book entitled ''rhe Four Civilizations of
the World, lately issued by Lppincott, bids fair
to prove one of these literary phenomena.
tt is more years ago than need be reckoned
up, since we CHANGED to encounter that veteran
diplomatst, beau, diner-out, adventurer, the
'Chevalier' Harry Wykof, at Washington din
ner panty. A decidedly elderly man then, though
sporting teeth, hair, and whiskers of splendid
iuvenility, as beitted the author of his latest
book my Courtship and its Consequences" He
was at that time fresh from the Geneva prison,
where he had expiated for three months his ro-
mantle attempt to carry off and wed an heress,
will she, mill she, and the brilliant Chevalier was
on account of that adventure a centre of obser-
walton not all admiring; but nothing dismayed
him or checked for a moment the torrent of
his amazing volubility. He knew everything,
it seemed, was hand in glove with every body
worth knowing in Europe and America, and his
chatter about them, like Tennyson's brook, went
on forever.

Europe, he hastens with lightning speed, but
spreads himself through the rest of the bool
upon the civilization of the United States, the
consummate flower of the ages. But unfortun.
ately for US, the Chevalier is not quite positive
of ''the fitness of the mass for self-govemment.
He is sure that it is naughty for the "uppei

in that tendency the cause of the wreck Of the
ancient civilizations but he evidently feels that

The Republican Convention,

Contrary to the general expectation that the
Republican State Convention would be held in
August or September, (when that of 1872 was
held it seems tolerably certain that it is to be
hurried up, and convened at Georgetown, some
time in the present month. The place is incon-
venient, as three-fourths of the delegates have
to go to the homes of the other one-fourth and

Not NIuch Spare Cash.

The Lancaster Express tells how party of
some twenty students, with as many young la
dies, recently held basket picnic not far from
that city, and were having lots of fun playing
Copenhagen, and pussy wants corner. aud
other exhilarating games when the festivities
were interrupted by the appearance of an oldla-
dy-the owner of the property-who demanded
afee of one dollar for the use of the picnic
grounds, Now one dollar is not an immense
sum twenty into one hundred will go five times
just five cents per student. But the look OF
blank dismay on their countenances told toe
plainly that there was not so much money in the
crowd. The young men we're dressed in the
height of fashion, but their pocket books were
panic-stricken. 'At last they took up collec-
ton, and, with the aid of the ladies', succeeded
in scraping together the sum of sixty-two cents.
And yet there are persons who think the Presi-
should not have signed the currency bill !-B.

tion, in April, it says -

The paragraph is very obscure, but it is, w
believe, entirely untrue in any construction which
can reasonably be put upon it. No ''friend 0
