First grace was said then soup was served
piece of bread being folded in each napkin
First, though, l must tell you how the table
was laid. In the centre of the table was q
glass center-pece filed with flowers In front
of this, on raised fruit-dish, lay an uncut
Spanish melon. On either side of the flower
piece was a dish of ripe English gooseberries
aud French cherries, and opposite the melon
a dish of white grapes. Between the dishes
of fruit stood a small vase of cut flowers On
the top of each dish of fruit was laid some
kind of mossy green stuff from the conserva-
tory, making it look very pretty. By each
fruit dish lay golden spoon. After soup
was brought boiled salmon with sauce then
plates were removed and lobster-patties we're
served then plates removed and sweet
breads served then plates removed and roast
lamb placed before the master of the house.
Potatoes and green peas were served with the
lamb. Sherry had been served at the begin
ming of the dinner and now champagne was
brought and drunk with the roast lamb. Two
kinds of pudding were next brought, with q
red wine sixty years old. After pudding ap-
peared two kinds of jellies and dry white
wine. After jellies came the fruit. Then the
ladies retired to the drawing room, where
coffee was served, the gentlemen remaining
in the dining-room to have their coffee and
smoke.-Letter from an american Lddy in

BLAINE on THE STUNP.-Mr. Blaine is de-
scribed by the Cincinnati Commercial as a
distinguished-looking man with broad shOul-
dors, snowy beard and iron-gray hair. 1t
says. moreover in reference to his manner of
speaking, that he is "a thorough stumper.
He must have space in which to
speak at least ten feet by four, and he will
cover every foot of it, and keep those crowd
ed about the borders dodging to avoid his
fists He often turns his back to the audi
ence and speaks to the people on the stand,
He has a peculiar way of fixing on an indi-
vidual generally close at his elbow, and ad-
dressing heated discussion for minute at
a time directly at him all the time without
seeing him, and making the poor victim
thoroughly miserable. As general thing IA
reporter is his victim as they are on either
side of him when he speaks, and this is all
right. He can't scare one of them. He likes
to be interrupted--courtsq questioning and in
terrupting, in fact-and goes slam bang after
the person interrupting,"

4 TEXAS CAVE TowN.-A correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, writing from Texas
says: I'VE passed through n town some
ninety miles northwest of Fort Worth called
Oregon City, whose inhabitants live in caves,
not particularly because they are savages, or
know nothing of the comforts of civilized
life, but merely on account of scarcity of
lumber and the distance from market. I'm
comfortable as this may sound, the inhabit-
ants Of these caves live most comfortably
the atmosphere is cool during the summer,
aud they tell us that, during the coldest
weather of last winter, they actually suffered
from the heat in what they call their adobe
houses These caves are not natural forma-
tous, but are dug out of side hill, are about
the size of a moderately large room, and at
the side farthest from the entrance have a
fireplace, and hue running up to the surface
of the ground, farther up the hill than the
entrance. Good ventilation is thus secured,
and, with good drainage above, the cave is
quite dry. The idea is good one for frontier
settlers who have not the wherewith to buy
material for better habitations. This little
town was begun last fall by a colony from
Oregon, and contains about twenty families" "

few weeks later one of those political
plots which used always to be breaking out
in Paris under the Empire (perhaps because
the police had some interest in their frequen-
cy) brought about dozen so-called revolu-

salem Among them was poor wight. a
journalist, named Victor Marchy, who had
but lately returned from a ten years captivi-

Miscellany.
The Fall Of the Year.

Coldly aud bright draws in the day;
Gloomy and drear 1t steals away;
For glowly now comes up the sun,
His summers ardent labors done;
And low his golden wheel declines
Where Winter shows his starry signs.
No more to earth the fervid beams
Give beauty such as poet dreams;
No more descends the glorious ray,
The rapture Of the summer day.
The ekys deep blue Is waxing pale,
The suns inspiring feryors fail;
The slanting beam he gives IL chill
Within the vale aud on the hills
And now, with many Jealous fold,
The clouds would all his cheer withhold,
Nor would on plain or height bestow
The soothing of his waning glow.
The flowers are gone, save those that still,
Like friends who cleavo to us through III,
Outbraye the bitter wind that blows,
And deck their season to its close.
The leaves that late were ouly stirred
By gentlest breath, that only heard
The soug-bird's note, round these the blast
Blows keen and herce, and rude aud fast
The rising gale filings far aud wide
Their withered bloom and idle pride.
The birds have fed the wind alone
Makes song In many sullen tone.
But sudden through the bursting sky
The sun again comes out on high;
The clouds fall back to yield him way,
And ny before bis eager ray;
And gladness nils the breast amain-
The glimpse " summer come againl
All sweet the beam, but like the smile
with which the dying would bcguie
The mourning heart-the last sad ray
Love gives TO cheer our tears away,
The light is gOue, the moments bloom
Is sunk again IN cold and gloom.
So pass away all things Of earth,
Whateer We prize Of love aud worth
The form once dear, the voice that cheered
The friends by many tie endeared,
The dreams the aching heart forgets,
The hopes that fade 10 cold regrets
Sweet scenes, dear haunts, that once knew,
My heart yet fondly turns to you.
Let seasons change, aud be ye bright
with all the summer-tides delight
Or lot the winters gloom be yours
Your beauty still for me endures;
For Memory keeps unfided yet
What Love would have me not forget.

The SUNDAY QUESTION. The Christian
Union says: "Some of our contemporaries
are puzzled how to interpret the views of the
Christian Union respecting the Sabbath ques-
ton. If they wish to report us both briefly
and correctly they may do it by printing the
following sentence The Christian Union
believes that divine law, of universal obli-
cation, wrought into mans nature long be-
fore it was propounded from Mount Sinai, re.
quires every man to devote one day in seven
to rest from his ordinary toll day to be
made available for moral and spiritual cul-
ture, through worship and instruction but
that every age is left TO determine for itself
and largely every individual for himself, the
methods best adapted to secure these great
ends"

The BooNERANG.-Th curious weapon,
peculiar to the native Australian, has often
proved puzzler TO men of science 1t is a
piece of carved wood nearly in the form of
crescent, from 80 to 40 inches long, pointed
at both ends and the corner quite sharp.
The mode of using it is quite as singular AS
the weapon. Ask black to throw it so as to
fall at his feet, and away it goes full 40 yards
before him, skimming along the surface at 3
or feet from the ground, when it will sud
denly rise in the air 40 or 60 feet, describing
a curve, and finally drop at the feet of the
thrower. During its course it revolves with
great rapidity, as ON pivot, with whiz-
zing noise 1t is wonderful so barbarous a
people should have invented so singular
weapon, which sets laws of progress at def
ance. 1t is very dangerous for European
to try to project it at any object, as it may
return and strike himself. In a natives hand
it is formidable weapon, striking without
the protector being seen; like the Irishman's
gun, shooting round corner equally as well
as straightforward.

A CoLoRADo JuRYMAN TAXES HAND IN
THE GAME. The dry, cutting satire, prac-
ticed so much by the cro>s-cxamining lawyer
of to-day, is sometimes a. dangerous in court
as it would be on the street short time ago
jury was sitting on a case in southern Colo
RADIO. woman took the stand and was
somewhat uucereuoniously treated by the
lawyers At last Il particularly dry and caus-
tic fellow began to practice on her with the
cross-eXamination. Now, among the jury-
men was one gentleman who WAS drawn with
apprehension and fear Of consequences He
was free, wild miner, with no more idea Of
the restrictions of law aud justice than buff
falo. He had twitched uneasily while the
woman WAS being examined, and could only
be kept still by being provoked into whis-
percd conversation with the foreman. As the
cro,s-examiuntion reached particular point,
h. aStonishrd the court by jumping up,
thrusing his hand into his hip pocket and ex-
claiming to the lawyer Hi thar, Mr.. Stick
in-thc Mud" This from juryman brought
every eye in wonder and amusement upon
him. He needed nothing and proceeded
Jack McCabe won't low no man to talk to
woman in that shape; not while he's
round! :" The judge rebuked honest Jack.
and he slunk into his seat, embarrassed but
mad The lawyer turning upon him with
whitening scOrn, began bombastically ''Of
what weight with me is the opinion of an ig-
norant juryman /" That's what
thought" said Jack, as, with one bound, he
cleared the rail and wound himself around the
lawyer. Before constable could reach and
separate the struggling pair Jack had mac
Grated the lawyer so that he was obliged TO
give up the case aud 60 home on shutter.
The juryman nearly cl, ,aued out the court be-
fore he could be placed under arrest, disabling
two constables and putting the crer and the
judge to flight.

0ur Iron ana Steel Trade.

The report of the condition of the
American iron trade for the past year
just completed, states that the produc.
ton of pig-iron i'll the United States in
1877 was 2,314, $50 tons, and in 1878 ,.
So 600 tons. Pennsylvania shows an
increase of over one hundred thousand
tons, while Ohio shows a decrease Of
over $4,000 tons. In 1878 Pennsylvania
made more than 80 per cent. Of the to-
tai production Of pig-iron iii the United
States. At the close of1S77 there were
in the United states ZIG blast furnaces.
Of which 260 were il blast, and 40 oil;
Of blast. The stocks of pig-iron Of
hand and unsold at the close Of lS7,
amounted to G42,35l net tons at the
close Of 1878 about 516,O tors at the
close Of '16 the stocks amounted to GSS,.
79S tons. The production Of 1878 was
increased about 1000 tons, stocks de.
creased about 10000 tons, and con-
sumption increased about $4,000 tons.
len out of eleven steel works were bus
lily engaged i'll the production of steel
rails during the entire year. Putting
the iron and steel rail products of the
year together, we have in round num-
bers total of 10000 net tons as the raj
products of the year. This product has
only once been exceiled in our history
IN 1872, when the product reached one
million net tons. In 1879 we will prob.
ably equal even that immense amount.

Wholesale Slaughter Of indians.

Cheyennes imprisoned here since

days ago, that they were to be taken
back to their agency III the Indian Ter
ritorv, determined to die rather than
consent to such movement. Since
the information was impaired to them
they have become very sullen and have
repeatedly expressed determination
70 die before conserving to such
movement. They have become very
stubborn for the past few days, and fear.
ing An attempt 70 escape, the post com
missioner has placed a strong guard
over their prison room. Last night,
about i o'clock, while nearly everyone
was ii bed except the eyer-watch-
full guard, the savages jumped through
the windows Of the prison room.
and made for the cold prairie, which i
thickly coated with frozen snow, firing
on the guard with revolvers they had
