DELMONICO's DINNERS.
One That Cost $40, 900, or $500
aPlate.

y. Y. Times.
The most expensive dinner ever given
al the crumbled shrine OF entertainment
was the dinner given by Sir Morton
Peto to a hundred merchants, with
sprinkling of journalists, about the close
OF the civil war. He was regarded as
immensely wealthy; he had vast interests
in railway, and various public improve
ments; was an eXemplar OF orthodoxy,
attended any number of churches,
pravedlong and loud, contributed hand
somely TO benevolent societies, was
favorite of evangelical clergymen, and
was fulsomely eulOgized as the model
Christian merchant. After he had re-
turned to England he was arraigned
for fraudulent transactions on an enor-
nous scale, and, although he escaped
prison by certain legal technicalities, he
was condemned in public opinion, and
forever ruined in reputation. Sir Nor.
toms piety was doubtless a studied
hypocrisy. practiced for purposes OF
more readily carrying out his dishonest
schemes, and, perhaps, of eliciting SYM
pathy when he should be found out.
Ostentatious expenditure was one OF
the methods he adopted to gain favor in
this country, and he was never more
Ostentatious than in his order to Del
monicO, who was enjoined to exercise
his ingenuity in making everything the
very best that money would buy. Con-
sequently, the dinner was a marvel OF
silk and art and extravaganza. The sa-
loon was smOthered in the rarest flow
ers: the menu was in gilt on embroid-
cred satin; some of the wine cost S25
bottle; the cleverest musicians were en-
gagged at fancy prices; Clara Louis Kel-
logg had 1000 for two songs, and
present besides OF diamond bracelet.
In all probability such q dinner has
never been served in the Republic; it
would have delighted SOyer and Fran
catelli, and had the ancient Greek,
Philoxenus, been there he would have
again wished for the neck OF acrane, that
he might longer enjoy the passage of so
many daintless down his greedy throat.
The total cost was about $4,000, or
500 for each person present.
Among the guests was James Gordon
Bennett, the elder, who very rarely ac-
cepted invitations, and whose person
was so unfamiliar, despite his univcr-
sally known name, that very few per-
sons recognized hun. Ii was, we think,
ms last appearance in public; and then
he seem i'll at ease, greatly bored, and
withdrew as early as decent courtesy
would allow.

perhaps with truth, that the majority of
the soldiers Of the resisting French
army could not read or write. The ed
ucased, thinking soldiery, as i well re
membered, drove the army Of ignora-
muses. ike sheep, and more easy and
more complete victory has never been
achieved in war than was that OF Ger
many in that campaign.
The time will ultimately come, and
may not long be postponed, when the
right of suffrage will be restricted to cit
liens who can read and write. In other
words, ignorance will be disqualified
ton, it being an element OF danger in
our general politics. Such law would
work no hardship, no injustice, If made
anticipatory, even now in West Nir-
GINA. 1t is the right principle for max
ing education compulsory. The State
opens the opportunity free Of expense,
and the individual who rejects 1t, disre-
CARDS not only his duty to himself but
to the State.
When the right Of suffrage was con-
ierred upon several millions OF ignorant
negroes, we were told thatit was simply
making levy upon the wealth OF the
country to compel it to educate them in
self defense. The reverse of this propO-
sition ought to be equally just and
equitable. Since the property holder
has now paid his tax for the opening
of school houses, he ought to have the
protection he has paid for, in the educa-
ton of the voter, or otherwise the
ignorant voters power to injure should
be taken away from him. And in this
connection we desire only to add, that
while Mr.. WADE's statement is entirely
true that 1--WE have not provided a
sufficient number OF school houses to
accommodate all the youths OF the
State" yet it is the purpose, and, IN
deed, the express language OF our law,
that, 'the board of education shall
cause to be kept in every sub-district OF
their district, by teacher or teachers OF
competent ability and good morals, a
sufficient number of primary schools
for the instruction OF the youths
| therein"

"FoR THE TRUTH"

.Lukeo Desires a Little Ac-
count to be Settled-A Mys-
terious Article-Who Wrote
TITO Whose "Sty Does that
Little Pig Belong?"-Atten-
ton will be Given to "Rus-
tics Latest Article.
Editor Of the Register.
Some two weeks ago, an article ap-
peared in the REGISTER over the sigma
ture, "For the Truth" When We first
read the article, it struck US as rather a
singular defense of Professionalism. In
deed, il the writer had intended TO turn
Professionalism into ridicule and con-
tempt, as being weak and defenseless,
he could not have taken better course.
But, on further examination, from GER
tain ear-marks that VIC discovered, we
became satisfied that the little pig did
not belong 10 our sty-that it was a
bastard; in other words, that it be-
longed 10 the Romish side under false
cOlors. One of the "ear-marks" re-
ferr.d to wasthis, that the writer claimed
10 live Gin the country" (Rustic)-
But we make make no charge. If the
writer of the article does not come for
ward and claim his brat, or the REGISTER
come 10 the rescue, we shall then be
satisfied that We are right in our
coniectures. II it shall be made clear
that we are in error, We pledge ourself,
il we have wronged any one, to make
honorable amend. We have often heard
of'.pious frauds" "the end justifyingthe
MEANS" &C., but sincerely hope, for the
sake of our common Christianity, that
this is not one of them.
"Rustic's" latest article April ~
will receive attention in due time.

be purely disinterested philanthropy
which would prompt so noble deed in

By the pangS Of rheumatism, the joints eyentu-
ally become gricv0usly distorted, and some
times assume an almost grotesque .deformity.
To prevent such results by simple and agree
able means is certainly the part of wisdom. A
tendency to rheumatic ailments may be sudccSs-
fully combatted with HOStetter's Stomrch Bit
terS. medicine with the prestige of "A long and
successful career Of unbounded popularity, and
of emphatic professional endorsement. II re
moves from the blood those inhammatory i'm
purties which patholOgists assign as the cause
of rheumatism, and not only Puri6es the life

fertilizing its source. Digestion, the action OF
the bowels and the secretion of the bile, are
aided by it, and 1t impels the kidneys and blad'

BY a special dispatch to the REaIs-
TAR II will be seen that Bellaire
was unsuccessful IN her attempt 10 gain
the county seat From the report OF
the Committee on New Counties and
County Affairs it seems as II they did
not '1oye CEsAR less, but Rome
more" They allowed Bellaire all her
claims in regard 70 location, population
and other advantages, but considered
these not Of sufficient moment to war
rant the large increase OF taxation ne
cessary to the erection of proper build
ings.
The removal of the seat OF justice
from one part of county to another Is
always an expensive operation and
should only be done when inn
perahvely necessary. The report
of the Committee and the
unsuccessful effort to pass the bill to its
engrOssment afterward, may be regarded
as settling the matter for the present, at
least. Whether the attempt will be re-
newed after the next election OF Assem-
blymen is a matter of speculation,
though a determination has been ex-
pressed to make it an important issue
in the next canvass.
Bellaire is a growing, enterprislng
young city, with such advanta-
ges of intercommunication, not only
with Belmont county, but the State and
country, as will always make her a
prominent figure in the affairs OF that
county, irrespective OF the location %
the county seat. Nor is it unlikely that
her population and importance will
after a while, be so suggestive OF the pro-
priety of her possessing the court house
as TO remove all opposition.

Ii is said that in some OF the pub
lished lists Of Congressional Committees
Col. WILSON'S name only appears on
the Committee on Printing, and this
has created the impression that he has
been Disseminated against. The fact
is, he is second on the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, Hon. S. S. Cox being
chairman, and second on the Commit
tee on Printing. These two positions
out-rank the average chairmanships OF
the House. In point of dignity and inn
portance, no committee in the House
out-ranks that on Foreign Affairs, and
we think Col. Wilson should be alto
gether satisfied, and no doubt he is.

PROF. SAMUEL A. KING, eronaut, in
his published communications as to a
balloon voyage across the Atlantic,
speaks confidently of his ability to make
a balloon voyage of months duration,
sufficient with thirty-fiye mile breeze
to circumnavigate the globe. The ex-
periments in which he has been en-
gagged almost exclusively for the last
two wears have demonstrated to his sat
isfaction that it is not only feasible to
construct balloon that will maintain
the bulk of its lifting power, but that it
is also easily practicable to keep l
afioat and in transit for this length Of
time. Having satisfied himself on
these important points, the Professor is
conducting experiments preliminary to
a voyage to Europe.
