to Europe. This is bad news for Phila-

the refinery industry in this country,

A 100000 Wardrobe.

We have been allowed to inspect the
most extensive and elegant wardrobe
ever made or owned on this side of the
Atlantic Ocean, and probably never be-
fore surpassed in the world, outside of
the homes of the nobility, in extent and
completeness. 1t is the property of a
San Francisco lady, young and beauti-
full, whose statuesque form they become
most regally. She has just left for an
Eastern city preparatory to making the
grand tour of Europe. There were in
the collection between thirty and forty
robes of all kinds and of every variety
of rare device. Only the finest, the
richest, the rarest, the most delicate
meterial had been used in their creation
silks, satins, velvets, and snowy laces,
such as envelop the form like an encas-
ing snowdrift. Some of them came
from Worth, the Paris man-milliner, at
whose shop they were ordered six
months ago.
The entire wardrobe, with its attend
ant paraphernalia, cost 100000. not
Including diamonds, with solid gold
dressing-cases and innumerable toilet
articles OF luxurious conception aud
fabulous cost. = san Francisco Chronicle
At a recent spelling reform confer
ence in London, Prof. Gladstone
stated thai it was found
on comparing the progress made in ed
Ucatiou by English children with. the
progress made by children in some con-
tinental countries, where spelling was
more simple, that the foreign children
learnt to read and spell with striking
rapidity. If, for instance, the English
language had a spelling as simple as the
Italian, there would be a saving in the
school-life Of every English child Of
600 hours.

EoreiGn Notes.

-"Cleopatra's Needler is to stand on
the Thames embankment in London,
at the top of the Adelphi steps, between
the Charing Cross and Waterloo
bridges.
The new King of Italy took the title
of Humbert the First. There have been
three Dukes OF Savoy of that name, but
never King Humbert, either in the
SayOyan dynasty, or in the annals Of
Sardinia
Much opposition was manifested
by majority of the Cardinals to the
interment of Victor Emanuel in the Pan
theon. The Pope conyoked an especial
council on the subject, and found them
nearly all strenuously opposed to con-
ceding the permission. Plus TX. final

A very clever mode of serving
writ was lately adopted bya London
attorney in the case of a bright, partic-
ular operate star whom he couldn't
approach. He took q stage box, and
after she had finished a song threw a
bouquet. 1t was received with a fas-
cinating smile. Nesting amid the roses

claimed the lady, as her eye caught that
name, when she tore it open behind the
scenes, "My names not Victoria; why,
what's this ?-Victoria, by the grace of
God, greeting" The Queens Bench
insisted that il was good service, and
she was arrested just as she was about
to play, when kindly peer paid the
money and saved her from a sponging
house
The negotiations between the En-
press Eugene and Queen Isabella for
the marriage of the Prince Imperial and
the Infanta Maria del-Pilar have been
renewed, and are likely now to have a
favorable issue. This is attributed to
the breach between King AL
fonso and his mother over
his espousing daughter of the Mont
pensier. King Alfonso set his face
against all idea of an alliance between
his sister and the Bonapartes, and de-
cisively repealed all approaches from
Chislehurst on the subject. Queen Isa-
bella was then Indifferent on the subject,
but since her son is giving her daugh-
ter-in-law whom she does not approve (
she means to give him brother-in-law

A tramp on the Union Pacific railroad
found it SO in the long ride. He climbed
ON the roof of car at Cheyenne.

His cvat-tails tapped SO hard that he

into fashion. About the first royal per-

her, it remains doubtful whether she

WHAT BOYS CAN DO.-One boy stood
with bis back against the wall; the next
boy stopped down his head in the first
boys stomach; the third boy stopped with
his head on the second boys back, and in
this way the line was continued back as
far as desirable. Then all the spare boys
took q running leap in succession, putting
their hands ON the hindermost boy, and

GALLO EPIGRAMs ON WOMEN. - All
the ill We say OF women is only precau-
ton OF our pride. We hasten 10 pro-
claim ourselves duped by them lest it
should be discovered that we are The
dupes ourselves.
1t is hard to say which IL the rarer
nowadays; the woman who knows her
self, or the girl that doesn't.
There is this essential difference be-
tween vice and virtue-one is nearly al
ways q state Of being, while the other is
as generally way OF thinking.
Lost women are those found every
where.
For many wc.1an rtue is only an
advantage which it is we'll to have over u

1t is infinitely more odions for WON
an to bargain about herself than to sell

The German woman is covered, the
English woman clothed, the French
woman dressed. Fashions are created in
Paris, copied in France. aud run into the

"DIxIE when in 1857 Campbell's
MINISTRIES were at Mobile, Dan Emmett,
one of the members of the company,
heard the negroes sing an air and chorus
while rolling cotton on the levee. He
thought it good; SO by little alteration
he arranged it into what is called "Walk
Around" which always winds up the Gu
tertainment of an Ethiopian concert. 1t
was success. In the spring OF 1861,
when the war broke out, Mrs. John Wood
went to New Orleans to play an engage
ment at the Old Varieties theater. She
produced POcahOntds. Near the close Of
the second act there is Zouave march by
the ladies OF the corps de ballet. At the
rehearsal of the piece the leader of the
orchestra was in quandary as to what
music they would have. Carlo Patti
(the leader), could not select anything
that would suit the stage manager Ct. B.
McDonough), and the consequence was
that the rehearsal came to- q stand-s!ill.
At length Patti struck up "Dixie." 1t
suited and was adopted, and was played
with chorus to the same air. "Dixie"
took the town by storm; the pianos rang
with it, the boys sang it and the negroes
whistled it. A musician by the name Of
Romeo Minera arranged it for q march
Tor the Washington Artillery Battery.
and from that hour till now all Southern
men and women hail it with delight.
Cold must be the Southern heart that
does not glow with delight at the sound
of "Dixie." But the composer, Dan Em.
met, what of hima Why, he can be- found
in common variety saloon at Chicago
now playing on his fiddle for mere pit,
lance, eking out a miserable subsistence
play ing Dixie" to an admiring crowd of
newspaper boys, roughs and beerjerkers.
