An Elegant Apartment.

San Francisco paper, describing
the recent ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wedding,
gives the following picture of the bridal
chamber in the Sharon mansion: "The
bridal chamber is one of the cosiest
and sunniest in the entire mansion.
From the windows, the Potrero, the
bay as far as Alviso, and the green hills
beyond Oakland-above which towers
the blue summit of Mount Diablo-are
distinctly visible. A 1ight-hued mo-
quette carpet, of fanciful pattern, with
still more fanciful border, covers the
floor. The curtains are of delicate
drab satin, lined with blue, and have a
broad brocade border frightened by
garlands of many colored flowers.
Every important piece of furniture in
the room is of white holly-an English
wood rarely found in America-trim-
med with mahogany and relieved by
flowers in sprigs and loops, the colors
of which are laid on with the finest
artistic skill. The lounge and chairs
are of solid rosewood, upholstered in
drab satin. A fireplace, with mantel
of the purest statue marble, surmount-
ed by gilded mirror reaching to the
ceiling, gives an appearance at once
homelike and elegant. The ornaments
of the bedstead are extremely elaborate.
oCSLACo 1A0 sprays, 10SOOOA6s AuObS AUO
bouquets of flowers which would almost
deceive the eye of the casual observer
as to their reality. there are pieces of
costly carvings. A Sorrento work table,
painted ana inlaid, and having drawers
half way down curiously ornamented
with silk fringe and tassels, is one of
the most remarkable objects. A carved
Christ upon the rood indicates the per-
vading presence of a fair devotee
Glove, handkerchief and jewel boxes,
in box-plaited blue satin and rare mate
rails, and perfumery bottles OF, cut glass
clear as crystal, lie in confusion about
the dressing glass. The bureau and
commode are topped with malachitc
and lined with polished zebra wood.
Something of the expense of furnish
ing SO elegant an apartment as this
may be inferred by the reader when he
is informed that single yard of the
brocade border of the priceless curtains
cost twenty dollars"

"a GYPSY IN TIE WOODS"

Gypsies first appeared in England
near the end of the fifteenth century,
roaming about in bands, and encamp-
ing by roadsides and in lonely places.
The women told fortunes, as they do
now; and as they are now, the men were
tinkers, basket-makers and braziers.
Soon it was observed that the presence
of a gypsy tribe caused murrain
among pigs the poultry yards were
thinned, horses disappeared, and after
the fortHne-teller had left the house
small articles of value were apt to be
missed. It was suspected, too, in the
time of Elizabeth, that they harbored
Roman Catholic priests, and for some
years great and terrible persecution
was carried on against them. The per-
secution has long ceased, but the man
ners of the people have not changed ;
they roam still from place TO place, they
live in tents, they speak their own
tongue, they obey no laws, the women
still tell fortunes, the men still make
baskets. They are harmless and gentle
enough as a rule; they do not inter
marry with the outer world, and they
scorn to be confounded with vagabonds
and hawkers, whose evil doings have
been but too often set down to their ac-
count.

Physique of the Royalty Of Europe.


BY all the laws OF the psychologists
the royal caste, which intermarr1es
much, which is bred unavoidably in
luxury, and which is at least as disso-
lutte as an aristocratic group, ought to
be losing its physical vitality, but it is.
not losing it at all. The sovereigns,
actual or potential. mofn .EnneBe eswould
make q formidable squadron OF dra-
goons. The Empor$r Of Germany is
perhaps the finest man physically who
has reigned since Oharfemagne. Any
Colonel in the guards would accept his
son as o most hopeful recruit. His
nephew, the Red Prince. is as formida-
bic hussar as ever rode. The EN-
peror of Austria is as stately of presence
as an ideal king. The eldest Wittle-
furious midnight ga1loping. The
Prince eff Wa1es.-- whose pedigree
stretches, If not to Odin, far past Egbert,
rides as straight tohounds as a profess
sional whip. The King of Italy, the
coronet of whose ancestors was closed
before Charlemagnes died, is success
full chamois hunter, a good cavalry
officer, and a man Sor whom danger has
an actual charm. His eldest son is as
strong as himself and his younger son,
Amadeo, man of reckless personal gall
lantry. The eldest Romanoff is almost
gigantic, and endures uncomplainingly
fatigues which trysthe constitutions of
his aids-de- camp. The Bourbons seem
more worn. but one-of them, the Due
d'Aumale. is the very type of the cuIti-
waited but oyerstern General Don Car
los soldier brother Is Murat third,
the Comte d,Eu, is believed in Brazil to
be General of unusual capacity and
fourth served with distinction
throughout the Franco German war.

BoNE-PIcKINe nv KAnsAs

The Topeka Kan correspon dent of
the New York Tribune writes Sc Bone
picking" " as we term it out here on the
selvage of civilization, is a regular in
dustrial pursuit, involving the collec-
tion, assortment and sale of the skele-
tons of defunct buffaloes. These ske1e-
tons are plentifully scattered over the
uncultivated western AREA of Kansas,
and parties of half dozen or more.
with wagons, go in search of them and
bring them in to the railroad stations
for shipment East. These skeleton
searching parties are called .ss outfits :"
and hence the phrase bone-picking
outfit. The extent of this singular
pursuit is really surprising. There are
hundreds of men engaged in it, and all
the border railroad towns have bone
middlemen who make a business of
buying and shipping the gatherings of
the "pickers. You would hardly be-
heve it, but the books Of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad show it
to be stubborn fact, that ten to
twenty tons of buffalo bones are ship
ped over that line alone every day. The
bones are worth, delivered at the rail-
way station. an average of $5 ton.
The bulk of them is sold for fertilizing
purposes in the soil l-enfeebled districts &c
the Eastern and Middle States, Phila-
delphia being the principal point of
consignment. Certain portions of. the
buffalo skeleton, however, are adapted
to nobler uses than the invigoration of
worn-out earth, and are sold at hand
some price to the manufacturers of but
tons2 combs, and knife-handles. At al
most every frontier railroad depot one
can see great piles of these queer re-
mains of the bounding bison awaiting
shipment; and the variations of the
value of bones are of more interest to
the people than the fluctuations of the
grain markets. In asserting for market,
strange discoveries are sometimes made.
It is no uncommon thing, for instance,
to find Indian skulls, legs and arms
and in some cases the skulls and verte-
bre of women and children have been
picked up. These latter are usually
tossed aside in rude sort of reverence
for the helpless and innocent but nc
such respect is paid to the bones of the
Indian. An Indian skull is said to be
worth dollar and quarter for combs,
and the Indian thigh makes knife
handles that are beautiful to behold.

Rats on Board of Ship.

Rats greatly infest ships, and are by
them carried to every part of the world.
So industriously do they make homes
for themselves in the nuTHg1 GUS cram
nies and corners in the hull of ship
that it Is almost impossible to get rid
of them. Ships take out rats as well as
passengers and cargo every voyage;
when in port is best known to them
selves. When the East India Company
had ships of their own they employed
rat-catcher, who eometimeg captured
five hundred rats in one ship Just re-
turned from Calcutta. The ship rat is
often the black species. Sometimes
black and brown inlabit tbs same ves-
sci, and, unless they carry ON perpetual
hostilities, the one part wiIlskeep to the
head of the vessel and the ether to the.
stern. The ship-rat Is very Anxious that
his supply of fresh water shall not fail;
he will come on deck whenit rains, and
climb up the wet sails to suck them.
Sometimes he mistakes spirit cask for
water cask, and gets drunk. A cap
tain OF an American merchant ship is
credited Cor discredfted) with an ingen-
ious bit of sharp prdctice of means of
clearing his ship from rats. Having
discharged cargo atsese port.in Holland,
he found his ship ius juxEaposition to.
another which had Just takensin cargo
of Dutch cheeses. He laid Ii plank at
night from one vessel to the other the
rats, tempted by the odor, trooped
along the plank, and began their feast.
He took care that the plank should not
be there. to serve them as n pathway
back again and So the cheese laden
ship had cruel addition to its outward
cargo.--Ax the Year Round.

OCEAN SMUGGLING.

The Commissioner of Customs, in his
report to the Secretary of the Treasury,
presents some figures regarding the
amount of goods brought into this
country by tourists without payment of
duty. The Commissioner says 1T is
estimated the American tourists return
ing from Europe during the year ending
June 80, 1878, numbered 36, $50, and
each person brought on an average seven
trunks filed with dutiable goods, claim
ed to be personal baggage, not dutiable.
We have thus an average of 257, $40
trunks filed with articles clnimed as
duty free, representing, on q valuation
of $500 on each trunk, the enormous
sum of $128, ,905, ,OOO." Much of this
merchandise, it is further said, is in re-
ality intended to be put upon the market
as merchandise, and still other portions
of it are brought over for third parties,
who have remained at home. This abuse
the miIdest wo.d which can be used
with reference to it-has sprung up, it
would appear from the report, both
from a defect of the law and from a
axity on the part of the customs officers.
The Commissioner suggests that many
of the difficulties with respect to pas
sengers' baggage might be avoided by
the passage of a law limiting the value to
be brought in by any one person to a
specified sum.
