The season for gathering beautiful varie.
gated leaves and pretty ferns is At hand
Many handsome parlor and drawing roor
ornaments can be fashioned frsm leave.
and ferns by those having few leisure
hours to spare. All that is required is or.
dinary taste, little ingenuity. and a cor.
responding stock of patience. First gath.
er the leaves from the tire just as they
are to fall, or as soon as possible after they
have fallen, press them Immediately for a
week or more until they are perfectly dry.
Procure half pound Of beeswax, put it IN
a tin vessel and place the vessel in a spider
containing little water, which must be
kept constantly boiling on the top of the
stove over steady fire. Take each leaf by
the stem and dip into the hot wax. On.
dipping is usually sufficient. If the wax
gathers on the edges, touch the places
lightly With the hot tin. TIL, leaves dry
instantly and all the bright natural colers
are preserved and will remain for a year.
BY piercing the leaf near the stem with a
double thread wire you can weave them on
coar'er wire or on large cord into any de-
scription Of gariands.

THE trade in woolens has fallen OF since
the panic, as we'll as all other branches OF
the business. A large house in New York,
the Herman Bros, in the manufacture of
Noolen goods has failed, with liabilities of
two hundred thousand dollars. Since the
panic this firm has lost seventy thousand
dollars in bad debts, and in addition to
this gods they had on hand deprecated
to the extent of twenty-five per cept.

Emperor William of Germany is not a
man who cares much for luxury. The
Rev. Wayland Hoyt of Boston has visited
his palace recently, at Berlin, and writes
entsrtainingly about it as follows: "The
Emperor William does not seem to have
anything he wishes to conceal. l spent a
very interesting hour in passing through
the palace, which is his constant city resi-
dence. 1t is not very grand, or even sump-
tuous. But enter it and you at once feel
that you are in the home of soldier. 1t
is almost an arsenal it is so warlike every
way. Old armor and new armor, frag-
ments of shells-the mementoes of battles,
models of the different kinds of soldiers in
their appropriate uniform, models of diff
ferent guns, great relief maps Of battle
fields and fortresses-these are everywhere
about. Almost all the pictures, too, are
martial-battle scene after battle scene
some Of older conflicts, others of the mod
ern fights in which the Emperor himself
is the conspicuous figure. l went into
the Emperors private study and library.
| saw the chair in which he sits, the desk
at which he writes, the pile of dispatches
awaiting his attention, the books he uses,
the papers fresh from his hand. 1t is
manifestly workman's place-this study.
The grim old Emperor is evidently no
idler. He keep~ his hand on things. am
told that he is at his table regularly every
morning at 6. Well, no one can help
honoring the fearless old fellow amid sucl
proofs Of rainstakiug devotion to duty.
Sixteen miles from Berlin is Petsdam the
favorite residence of King Frederick the
Great. Here, too, is the present Empe-
ror's sleeping-room. 1t is utterly plain.
His bed is but single mattress upon
narrow ard common bedstead."

"EvERY EVENING" in its customary
style pours out its adjectives agaiast the
HERALD. The following brief article
published tho day after the occurrence un-
truly narrated by that paper as We are in
formed, speaks for itself:
A few of these gentry, in seeming COM
plicity with certain constable in this city,
attempted and partly succeeded in placing
. young gentleman in Z false position. But
it will avail naught. These pests are fairly
warned, that iithere be any virtue in con-
ssant, unremitting warfare against their
-aefarious busine.s-the HERALD will bring
1t to an end in Wilmington. They are
robbing the poor, and if exposure will COM
pei the proper authorities to prosecute
these violation. Of TIE law-exposure will
be frequent.
The constable who took small sum OF
money from these people acted dishonesty
q neither directly nor indirectly could he
sway or influence the purpose Of those who
direct the policy of this journal, to roo. out
Of Wilmington policy shops and their at
tendant misery.
That promise has been kept, by repeated
articles upon the policy nuisance, un:il it
was abated, by order Of the Mayor. If the
policy men were such adopts in purchasing
newspaper people, it is singu larly sugses-
tive, that until the HERALD made war
upon them, they had happy time in VIII
mington, right under the nose Of the wide
awake reporters, Of our neighbor. War as
successfully against some other evil in cur
to*n, and we will praise you, not blame
you. Don't be Jealous, there is room en-. Ugh
in the wy.'!d for both the HERALD and
Every Etenino.

The Paris Duel.

The duel between Frank Rigg- and
Willie Paine, two New York young men,
fought near Paris on Sunday, was the out
growth Of a feud between the fathers Of the
young men, spiced, it is said, by an amour
Of their own.
For many years Elisha Riggs and VIM.
II. Paine, Of this city, were intimate perso-
nal friends, but their amity was broken
about t~o years ago by a lawsuit GROWN.
out Of business transactions involving
$4,000. Some months after the legal
points Of this disagreement had been settled
by the Court the gentlemen went into the
Washington Club in Paris of which Mr..
Riggs was President. One evening Paine
entered the club rooms and was about to
sit down to the card table, when Riggs
arose, saying he could not sit at the same
table with him until he had paid previous
losses. Mr.. Paine says that he drew his
portmonaie from his pocket and paid Riggs
on the 8. OF. There the matter ended for
the night. On the next evening the gen.
tlemen met in one of the ante-rooms of the
club, when Mr.. Paine said :-"Mr. Riggs
have waited twenty-four hours for you to
apologize for your conduct Of last night"
Mr. Riggs drew himself up with r.uch
dignity and answered, IL have no apology
to make sir" Then, sir" said Paine,
you must take that p and he slapped his
:ace. Further beligerency was presented
by the interference of the bystanders. A,
the ne meeting Of the club Mr.. Paine
was expelled from membership for having
sir'cN fellow mer'ber within the pre-
cincls Of the club.
The principals Of the quarrel dropped
the matter at this point, but their sons
each about twenty.one years of age, took it
up and arranged for meeting with pis.
toI", near Mauberg, on the Belgian fion-
tier. On the appointed day both parties
were on the field with the seconds, but iust
as they were about to take their places they
were arrested BY the Belgian au.Acritie.
and sent back to Paris. Immediately after
the duel young Paine telegraphed to his
iather' who is now in New York, as fol-
lows Sequel olast years affair, Meet
ing at Boi' to-day. Arm very slight,
scratched.

power. This he does not realize till at
the end of the year or quarter he dis
covers that his income or wages have
not brought him quite as much comfort
or happiness as he had anticipated.
We have $3.50, 0O0, 900 of this irredeem-
able and deprecated currency In circu-
lation, and up to the present it has
been difficult to make the people re-
alize that every mill that these obliga-
tons fall in value below that of coin
must be made good by a taI-that
whenever these legal tenders huctuate
l per cent. an opportunity is afforded
for 81 100000 to change hands without
value received. Were this loss due to
a variation in the length Of the yard
stick or the capacity of the bushel, the
masses would soon protest, but In the
case of money, which measures every
thing, and where the injustice and loss
are infinitely greater, they are indiffer-
emit. The yearly aggregate of the loss
thus inflicted every year upon the
classes that can least protect them
selves is greatly In excess Of the in
terest on the public debt. Hence we
can fully appreciate the saying of
Webster, that of all the contrivanees
for cheating the laboring classes none
has been more effectual than that
which deludes them with paper money.
1t is the most effectual of inventions to
fertilize the rich mans field with the
sweat of the poor mans brow. But
serious as are these material influences
of the national sanction of economic
errors their moral influences are even
more important. The fiction of paper
money creates the instability of values,
the disturbance Of relative values, the
insecurity of operations-the uncer-
tainty of results which are the cOndi-
tions of the gaming table; and to-day
as a nation we play at rouge ct HOir In
all that we do. This may be legal; it
Is none the less penal. From it pro-
coed the characteristics of the time
speculation, idleness, extravaganza of
living, discomfort with moderate and
slow gains, haste to get rich and the
spirit of trading as distinguished from
the spirit of production.

FINANCIAL.

Our bankers are still complaining Of dull
times and our brokers also report nothing
doing in stocks and bonds. The demand
for money from the banks is small, and The
regular customers Of the various banks have
no difficulty in obtaining discounts on short
time at the rate of ten per cent. per an
mum. There is a good street demand for
loans, and good notes when offered are
taken at fully two per cent. per month dis
count.
Exchange on New York is scarce and in
demand. The banks buy at par and sell at
81 per thousand premium.
Gold is very firm and stronger, closing
