Tweed's Cases

HE Is RELEASED FROM ONE PRISON AND PUT INTO
ANoTHER-UNABLE TO GIVE BAIL.
Tweed was released from one prison and de-
posted in another yesterday. AS tho case stands
now, he is bailed on all the indictments against
him except that upon which is based the civil
suit against him for the recovery of S6,0000 900,
the security demanded by the State being three
millions. The ex-chief Of Tammany is not able
to find responsible friends who will go his
security to such an amount, and in de-
fault Of the necessary bail he reposes in Jail un-
der the custody of Deputy Sheriff. There are
questions as to tho propriety Of forcing him to
trial upon this indictment Immediately, which
Judge Brady has still under consideration.
When they were disposed OF the next movement
will be to endeavor to have Tweeds bail reduced
to such figure that he can furnish the security

THE CIGAR SMUaGIINa.-The discovery of the
method in which cigars are smuggled at the
Breakwater, given to the public yesterday, ia on
ly the confirmation Of suspicious. bordering on
almost absolute knowledge, which have been
entertained by U. s. officers in this district for
some time. A year ago or more the authorities
at Washington were notified from this city that
the smuggling of cigars was carried on in the
very manner described. Localities were known,
if not named, and the very time and circumstan-
ces were cognzant to the U. s. officers here, but
so adroitly was the operation conducted that de-
lection was impossible. There is no doubt of
the smuggling in the manner alleged, but to OBJ
tain the proof is another matter. We might
even 20 farther and trace some of the cigars, but
would then be unable to establish the connec-
tion.

QREAAT TON.

We read an interesting account of an
act OF cremation successfully performed
In Dresden. The body was that of a
lady, the young wife-aged twenty
three-of South German physician.
The hall around the furnace was deco.
rated with flowers, and in every other
respect the solemnity which should at.
tend so serious a rite was duly OBJ
served. No clergyman could, however,
be found to take part in the ceremony
and speak a burial address over the
dead body, 80 Herr Siemens, the con-

after which the coffin was committed to
the flames. The process of cremation
was screened from the eyes of the lady's
friends by an iron door, but q small
number of physicians and other scien-
tifc men Witnessed the operation
through slit in the wall. They de-
scribe the spectacle as free from any
thing offensive either to the senses or
the imagination. The current of hot
air burning up the body appeared as
transparent fame of pale redish hue.
There was no smoke or any unsightly
transformation of the body. When the
coffin was consumed the body appeared
In its natural state, then red not, and
at last appeared to be of translucent
white. From this it crumbled into
ashes. Up to the period of it's entire
consumption by the flames the process
was merely rapid drying up. After
seventy eight minutes all organic matter
was gone and nothing remained but a
small heap of ashes, which was con-
veyed away in an urn.

now TIGERS AXE TAKEN.

Jamrach, a London dealer in animals,
gives the particulars of tiger capture
in Asia. Full-grown tigers are never
brought away for the use of showmen,
rs they cannot be tanned, and make
trouble by gnawing and breaking their
cages. Therefore, only those under six
months of age are captured. The natives
steaithily watch the iairs at the time
of brooding, and, upon waylaying a
male at a distance from the female and
her litter, shoot him. For his head
they get q government reward of fifty
rupees. When the cubs are old enough
to live without their mother, she is
also shot and beheaded. The capture
of the young ones is then safe and easy.
They are kept at Calcutta until after
teething, and are thence sent to the
purchasers. The Sultan of Turkey buys
many, but most of them go to the
menageries in various parts of the
world. Tigers are also killed by the
natives for their skins, which, if hand
somely marked, are worth hundred
rupees each. The claws, too, are
bought by the Indian jewelers., and
sold for ornaments. Jamrach says that
the number of men eaten by tigers in
Singapore is very great, and that an
average of one Chinese wood chopper
disappears every day.

CHINESE cBRIsTMAs FEAST.

The San Francisco papers record q
perfect marvel in the way OF Christ
mas dinner given by q few wealthy
Chinese merchants to some of their
American friends. Under the guidance
of Dune Some and Vim Chang, the
guests found themselves in a perfect
maze of grandeur, rivaling the descrip-
tion of the "Arabian Nights" in
splendor. There were gigantic lanterns,
gilded hangings, and embroidered
chairs. During dinner the guests were
regaled with the Overture ala Con-
fucius," or celestial Chords" with
tin pans and clashing of gongs. There
were lacquered tables with ivory chess
and checkers for those who cared to
retire for a smoke. Over the backs of
the sofas and chairs and around the
side tables were covers of elaborately
embroidered scarlet broadcloth in gold
and silver. The dinner table was
marvel of taste and beauty. No two
plates or bowls were alike. Besides
chop-sticks, there were the usual array

MILKING 4 MILE.

He is an industrious citizen of Charlie
county, Ohio. He got up at the usual
hour. some time before daylight, a few
mornings ago, and, taking his milking
pail with him, went out to the barn.
There were four stalls in the stable and
in the stalls we're two mules and two
COWS, and the boy, not the old man, had
put up the animals the night before.
It was very careless of the boy, very
careless and blameable, indeed, to put
the COWS in the mules place and the
mules in the cows place, End he should
have told his father of the change-but
he didn't. The old man, too, was care
less in not taking lantern to the barn
with him. The off mule is vicious
brute, and it was additionally unfor-
tunate that the off mule was the one in
the place of old Brindle, the COW the
milking first. And surely some spirit
of evil must have possessed that off
mule to greater degree than ordinarily
that it should have allowed the farmer
to get fairly settled down and fumbling
away before it turned on the steam in
its big. bony off hind leg. And, if
Ohio people are as curious as other
people, it must have been aggravating
to the neighbors that afternoon that no.
body was around the yard to tell them,
when they called from the street, what
made that big hole in the side of Smiths
barn. The old man was the only one
who knew anything about it, and he
had been in bed senseless from the
time that careless boy found him lying
close by the barn in the morning.

EL1osR OF ANrIoDuTy

Among the most interesting relics of
antiquity that have been brought to
light in Rome, in the course of the
building and restoration that have been
carried on of late years in the old city,
are number of writing tablets, or
ou9fltGres. These writing tablets were
much in use in the times of the Caesars,
and consisted of two leaves of ivory
hinged together bookwise. The inner
surface of the leaves was slightly hol-
lowed to admit of thin layer of wax.
and the euter surface was often adorned
with elegant carving. The writing was
executed with stylus having one end
pointed for the purpose, and the other
blunt for making erasures. These
tablets, called pugillGres because they
were small enough to be borne in the
hand, or dtptycha, because they were
double-leaved, were tied, sealed, and
sent from friend to friend as tokens of
regard. They were especially used by
Consuls, who presented them to their
friends on their elevation to Office
Juvenal mentions their use by lovers in
transmitting tender messages. The
missives conveyed in them frequently
had the portrait of the writer at the
commencement One of the tablets
recently found in Rome still bore the
inscription of its owner, Licinius,
favorite of Julius Caesar, and created
by him Governor of Gaul The in
scription gives evidence that Licinius
was man of great wealth.
A quantity of silver forks have also
been recently unearthed in Rome. They
are two-pronged, and with handles of
elegant design. It has been hitherto
supposed that the table-fork was mod
ern invention, and that the Romans, as
the Greeks and other nations, ate with
their fingers. Such, indeed, was the
prevailing custom among all peoples
down to the fourteenth or fifteenth CEN
tury. Meat was generally stewed, or,
if roasted, it was cut into small pieces

aged by the fingers. At sumptuous
tables the guests were furnished with
basins of water and towels, for the con-
venience of washing their hands at the
close of the repast. It is said that the
use of forks at table first arose in Italy.
In the reign of Edward I. forks were
very rare in England. A half-dozen OF.
SO were reckoned in the Kings treas
ures at his death in 1907. For three
centuries later the convenient imple-
ments were employed only by the
higher classes. Hence the interest of
