LAST WEEK OF THE GREAT BANRUPr SALE.
The last opportunity for procuring these
great bargains offered by the Messrs. Mont
gomery, auctioneers, at 100 Canal street, is
announced. If such is the case, many Will
read it with regret, for, although the patron
age extended to the establishment has been
very large, still there are many who have not
availed themselves of the inducements it has
presented for the past few weeks, and to such
we would say that this is positively the last
week that they can exercise this privilege; that
Messrs. Montgomery has afforded them first
class stock of dry goods, cloths, carpets, etc.,
at prices far below their actual value.

PARTICULARS OF THE DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.

New York, Dec. 28.-The following par
ticulars respecting the dynamite explosion at
Bremerhaven are from the Weiser Zeitltng:
1t appears just before the Mosel was about to
sail cart containing four cases and barrel
was being unloaded for shipment. Suddenly
terrible explosion occurred the effect was
horrible The quay was then thronged with
people, partly belonging to the steamer,
partly spectators and partly passengers who
had remained there to take a last farewell OF
their friends.
An eyewitness, who stood under the gang
way of the Mosel, on hearing the terrific re-
port saw a number of black lumps flying in
the air, whilst very few of the persons on
land remained visible. Apprehensive of a
boiler explosion, he threw himself fiat on the
deck, where he received volley of sand,
broken glass; fragments of flesh, bones, etc.
The devastation on board the Mosel was ter
rife. No sky-light was left. The cabins aft
the starboard and port were either crushed in
or bulged out by the pressure or altogether
smashed.
The side plates of the ship were burst; the
ports with their glasses and rivets forced in
ward, and the whole ship was besmeared with
blood, and stuck over with pieces OF fish
and other human debris. In the hold and

The Use OF FAIRs.-The San
Francisco Bulletin has the following
sensible ideas OF the utility of agricul.
tural fairs: " The State and District
fairs are giving the producers of
the country an opportunity once a
year to exchange with one another the
lessons Of their experience. In this
way they give strength and permanen-
cy to the backbone of the country.
They likewise afford an opportunity
for the calm discussion and thoughtful
consideration Of facts which directly
interest the stOck-rsisers, the grain pro-
ducer and fruit grower. There can be
but one result to a discussion of this
kind. 1t will cause every prudent
farmer TO enter the field of experiment
himself, prohung meantime by the ex-
perlence Of those who have preceded
him in his special department. Dis
cussions Of this kind also give us an
acquaintance with the special merits of
each distinctive breed OF cattle impor.
ted within our boundaries, a knowledge
that we could not, probably, obtain in
any other way. This is the kind Of
fruit we gather at State and District
agricultural fairs, and il is this way
those institutions demonstrate that
they are valuable aids in the building
up OF the property of great state"

SEAsoNABLE HINTS.-The Scientific
american says: Ii mosquitoes or
other bloodseckers inleSt our sleeping
rooms at night, by uncOrking a bottle
of the oil of pennyroyal these animals
leave in great haste, nor will they re
turn 50 long as the air in the room Is
loaded with the fumes of that aromatic
herb. If rats enter the cellar a little
powdered potash thrown into their
holes OF mixed with meal and scatter
ed in their runways never fails TO
drive them away. Cayenne pepper
will keep the buttery aud store room
free from ants and cockroaches. Ii
mouse makes an entrance into any
part of your dwelling saturate a rag
with cayenne in solution and stuff it
into the hole which then can be repair
ed with either wood or mortar. No
rat or mouse will eat that rag for tie
purpose Of opening communication
with depot Of supplies.

SWIMMING FEAr.-A Vienna CORE
spondent is reminded by Capt. Webb's
extraordinary exploit, ofs remarkable
feat performed in 1916 by 'iennese
joiner named Bobnmeisst, who swan
from Vienna 10 Presburg in seven
hours; taking the windings OF the
Danube into account, this distance
amounts to eight German-that Is,
about forty English miles The JON
er, therefore, swan al the rate OF near
ly six miles an hour. The undertaK-
ing created a good deal Of excitement
at the time. The gallant swimmer
was cheered on his way by thoughtful
friends who administered veal outlet
and glass OF beer to him while IN Inc
water. He was so little fatlgued on
arriving al Presburg, that he at once
eutered the swimming bath there, and
swan with several gentlemen for
wager. Bohnmeisst was otherwise
known as a very strong man, and
vanquished a French athlete who APP
peared about that time. HIS long
swim was, no d0ubt, a wonderful per
formance. but the peaceful conditions
in which it took place deprive II OF
the impressive character OF Captain
Webb's heroic struggle through blind
ing surf and battling winds.

INDIANA's STEP TOWARD SPECIE PAY
MENTS.-The best financial minds of Indiana,
the bankers, are taking the first practical
steps towards the resumption of specie pay
ments- The promissory notes now used by
the banks of indianapolis contain provision,
that If the note be paid at maturity, OF be-
fore suit is brought thereon, then it shall be
paid IN any lawful money in the United
States, but otherwise principal and interes,
shall be paid in gold. In other words, if the
note be paid at maturity, it my be paid in
greenbacks. but if its collection has TO be en-
forced at law, it must be paid in gold. An
Indiana bank recently brought suit on one
OF Its notes of the kind, and obtained iudy-
meut payable in gold Had Congress added
a clause 10 It's act of last winter, for the re-
sumption OF specie payments on the 1st of
January, 1879, enactirg that all contracts
made from and after certain date should be
payable in gold, prospsctively repeating the
legal tender law, it would have proved sn ad-
equate provision TO bring on specie payments,
a quality which it does not now possess.

Table Manners

The table is the place wnere the
family meets, and there should De the
freest and most unrestTalned inter-
conrse. We eat to live but the mere
animal necessity is lifted up ana gio-
rlfied when The charms OF pleasant
conversation and Of mutual courtesy
surrounds the custom. So far as ihe
sustaining of life is concerned, that
object may be reached If each took
his bread and retired to closet TO
eat it alone. But there is spiritual
life that is to be fed and sustained,
and if it is starved where there Is no
grace, not only before, but during
meal.
The great trouble with our Ameri-
can life is that it is too gloomy. We
take no time to entertain and amuse
each other. Not seldom does IL hap
pen in some houses that meal prog
resses in dead silence, except when 1t
is necessary TO speak about the dishes,
or to help some one to potatoes or pie.
This is almost as bad as rudenesS or
quarreliug. There ought to be bright,
sparkling talk in which the children
should be allowed TO join. There is
no sense, whatever, in compelling ar
intelligent child to sit like deaf mute
at the table; though, on the other
hand, children should not monopolize
the conversation, nor be allowed To
ask strings of irrelevant questions.
Each one should prepare for it by
some simple process of dressing. The
hair should be smooth, the hands
washed, the general appearance of
each should try 10 be as agreeable as
possible To every other. IL Is quite
wonderful how a little refreshing of
the toilet treshens up the soul as
well as the f,ce. So far we ali
ought TO be luxurious. If the mother
sees 10 II, that her school boy sons
always come TO dinner with clean
hands and nails and that her daughters
never dwaddIe into fiuery or sOiled
wrappers. she will do more than she
dreams of IN the work Of making rhem
grow in To real gentlemen and ladies.
The table itself ought 10 have a les
tive look. Flowers have a special
grace Oh the breakfast board. ! dish
of fruit nicely arranged, pIeases the
eye as well ~ the palaIe at dinner.
Clean linen, even though coarse, and
whole plates and cups, with bright
glass and silver help rheappetiIe along
4 few well cooked diShes, nicely served
will promote the health and happiness
better than great variety ruined in
tie preparation.
Some huusekeepers, with an eye to
saving trouble ON washing day, have
adopted The marble oil cloth, instead
of the white damaSk for ordinary use.
For our part we would prefer econ
omy IN almost any other way. 4 fine
white table cloth, or buff or Grim
son one occasionally for breakfast or
tea, will furnish the family feast much
more beautifully.

\ STATELY LADY.-The beautiful
Empress Of Austria passed through
Paris recently, and hundreds of people
gathered at the railway station to get
glimpse of her. She is well worth
looking ats this fairest ofroyal ladies'
though she is thirty eight years of
age,and possible grandmother besides.

ally IN black, gray or lilac-never

death Of her eldest daughter, several
years ago. Her manners are marvel
loqsly sweet and winning, and she is

rently reported, however, that she hen

TO her dominion. When she first ar
rived at the imperial court she gave
