sixty-seven Soups.

The old Knickerbocker cottage on Sixth
avenue bloomed last night as it used to do
in the days gone by, and its parlors were
filed with party of jovial persons who
have revelled together at regular end irreg-
ular intervals for half a century. The Man.
haitian Turtle Club held its annual meeting
and election, and after the business of. the
evening was concluded partook of a green
turtle. As soon as the business of the club
was finished, the members adjourned to the
large dining-room of the cottage, where
abous one hundred members and guests sat
down to the eat. Great bowls of soup were
placed all along the tables and were refilled
as soon as they were empIied. Birch, the
minstrel, consumed sixty-seven platefuls,
Seth Harris managed iifty-nine, and Stop,
Thompson also stopped al that point. Mr..
Birch was therefore awarded the medal,
made of sole-leather, about a foot square,
on which was letiered big Eat and
which was hung around his neck by hum
Der Of cigar strings. He acknowledged the
honor, saying that be would like to drink

Francs Murphy s meetings and early hours.
He pledged the party in a quart glass Of

Scenes On the Sinking Fommerania.
From a New York Herald Dispatch.

From New York Herald Dispatch.
The panic on deck after the capsizing of
the first boat became general. Men and
women rushed frantically hither and
thither; others knelt silently in prayer, and
several passengers returned below to their
state-rooms, only to reappear on deck bear
ing large portmanteans, with which they
absent-mindedly paraded the deck. One
gentleman descended the companion way
and returned to the promenade with his silk
hat in his hand, brushing it as he pro-
eeeded with the sleeve of his cotton night
shirt, his only garment. Shrieks and prayers
| were heard associated with tle commands
of the officers and the wrangIing of the
crew. Ominous, indeed, is the fact that all
the crew were saved and more than fifty
passengers lost!
Another boat had, meanwhile, been sue
cessfully got into the sea on the other side
of the steamer, but before any body thought
to see whether the plug was in or not the
boat was half full of water, and when the
passengers were lowered down it came
very near swamping. Many Of the passen-
gers had to be dragged over the steamers
side, 80 terror-strcken were they. The
discipline of the crew greatly improved
after the first ten minutes had passed. Five
boats were now in the water and loading
with their human freight with considerable
regularity. Strange to say some of the
passengers refused point blank to enter the
boats. Every effort was made by the first
and second officers to induce all to leave;
but finding delay useless the five boats
pulled away from the sinking Pommerania,
leaving about twenty passengers and Cap
tain Schwensen on board.
The Captain remained on the bridge as
the boats drew off in the night, and even
the great black hull soon faded ont of sight
in the haze. A few dim rays Of light
emerged from the poets, and away at the
mast head, silently as . tongueless bell |
swinging as the ocean swung, was the great
white light that marked the disabled ships
position. The fires sere out !; the whistle
could no longer be sounded for the want OF |
ssteam. The great steamship could not
move, although the shore was scarce six
miles away. She was helpless. She Wasi

THE PREVAILING CUSTOM AMONG YOUNG
MEN OF WEARING sPECTACLEs.
Burlington Hawkeye.

Burlington Hawkeye.
One thing else about Boston people be-
fore close rhe old people have all tie
good eyes. All the older musicians, schol-
ars, authors, composers, whose names have
made Boston famous in the world of letters
and art, whose fame is as broad as the con-
tinent, appear to have excellent eyes, and
get along on the street and iii the library
without the use of glasses. That is, so far
as | have been able to observe. On the
other hand, the younger class of literateurs
and students are unanimously short-sight-
ed. Young men here wear eyeglasses as
young men in Montana wear reyolvers, and
young men in Chicago carry samples of
cordwood canes. | have seen boys eleven
years old come along the street glaring at
the timid stranger through huge eyeglasses
that beamed in the distance like big lamps.
Once in while, when you are just growing
accustomed to the white glasses, tall,
slender youth will suddenly loom up beside
you and glover down upon you through a
pair of blue eyes, and the effect Is very
startling. Do you know, believe there
are babes born in Boston with spectacles
on? l do not positively know of such
case, but when you see child IS months
old riding along in its cab with pair Of
horn eyeglasses straddling its nose you
can't resist the impression that the baby
was born that way, and would bleed to
death if the spectacles were cut off. But l
have got acquainted with two or three pairs
of these spectacles, and | find they are just
part of the rounded face and the unsatis-
factory photograph. find the most de-
lightfully young fellows behind them, warm
hearted, generous, manly young fellows,
impulsive and earnest under all their we'll
bred reserve. I have found thousand
things to make me think better of Boston
than ever did before, and haven't found
thing that will cast shadow on the pleas
ant impression have formed of it; don't
wonder that Boston people are proud of
their city, and that Boston people who moye
away into distant States believe that if
they are good they will go to Boston Com
mon when they die. And that reminds me
OF another thing. A Bostonian who has
to some other State will talk
more about Boston in FIVE minutes than
resident Bostonese will talk in six weeks.
haven't heard man speak about Boston
since have been here, except in answer to
my questions.
In conclusion, may say that Boston is
considered the Burlington of Massachu-
setts

MYSTERY OF PERFUME.-No one has
yet been able to analyze or demonstrate the
essential action of perfume. Gas can be
weighed but not perfume. The smallest
known creatures-the very monades of life
can be caught by a microscope lens and
made to deliver up the secrets of their Or
ganization, but what is it that emanates
from the pouch Of the musk deer that fills a
wide space for years with its penetrating
odor-an odor that an illimitable number of
extraneous substances can carry on without
diminishing it's size and weight and what
it is that the warm summer brings to us
from the flowers, no man has yet been able
to determine. So fine, SO subtle, so impon-
derable, it has eluded both our delicate
weights and measures and our strongest
senses. If we come to the essence of each
odor we should have an enormous stride
forward, both in hygiene and chemistry, and
noue would profit more than the medical
profession if it could be as conclusively de-
monstrated that such an odor proceeded
from such and such cause, as we already
know of sulphur, sulphurate, hydrogen,
ammonia and the like.

Chewing Gum.
New York Sun,

Among the quiet little manufactures Of
this country is that of chewing gum. Only
one factory exists in this city, and the few
Others are in New England, New York
State, Ohio, Illinois and Tennessee, The
gum is sold by grocers, druggists and con-
fectioners in cities, and any country grocer
that hasn't it is considered incom plete.
Gum from spruce trees was exclusively
used until recently, when it found rival
in gum mastic, white and attractive arti-
Gle made from parafine, which is sweeten-
ed. The consumption of this chewing gum
in the United States is about thirty tons
annually ; that of spruce gum somewhat
less, and that of gum made in Tennessee
from balsam tolu, and sold in the Southern
States, about twenty tons. Lately a ma
terial has been used styled "rubber gnm."
It is from the sap of the sapot@ tree of
South and Central America. The sap, like
that of the India rubber tree, has a milky
look. The gum was first imported into the
United States with view Of melting it
with India rubber, in order to produce a
cheaper article than the latter. 1t was
found to be impliable, and therefore use
less for that purpose, 1t has long been
chewed by South and Central American
Indians, and found useful in allaying
thirst. Experiments we're therefore made
here in purifying it for chewing, and with
final success. Ir is tasteless, and has the

A WONDERFUL LITERARY FEAT.
THE LATE BAYARD TAYLOR's REMARKA
BILE CAPACITY AS A WRITER.

The following extract is taken from a
published interview with Mr.. John Hay,
which appears in late issue of the Cleve-
land Leader
His reputation for performing remarka-
BILE literary achievements has often been
remarked upon.
And the remarks are true. He could do
more, I think, in a short space of time than
any other man I ever knew. He would, if
required, write whole page of the 7ri-
buue in a day. His review of DR.. Schlie-
mans first book, written from the advance
sheets, was remarkably full, and gave such
good idea of the work that it was almost
unnecessary to read the work itself. He
had peculiar gift at condensing matter
and still retaining every point which the
author made perhaps his greatest feat in
this line was achieved upon Victor Hugo's
poems. They arrived in New York on q
certain morning, and the next morning he
published nearly q page review of the
work, with several columns of metrical
transiations done 80 finely that all the orig
inal vlgor and spirit was retained. In the
:. Echo Club" papers, which were bup-
lished a few yesrs ago in the atlantic
MoDthly, the best idea of his power as an
author is seen. In these he produced with
remarkable fidelity limitations of the poems
of the leading authors ofthe country, which
were go close to the original that, Without
tho leaat thing to indicate with literature
coa!d not fail to recognize them. These
were not parodles they were limitations |;
written on entirely different subjects but
on such subjects as the different authors
would be likely to choose. Besides the
elemsnt of imitation there was slight
vein Of caricature running through them,
The review of the Inn Album by Robert
Browning was written in the same style as
the Echo Clab to certain extent. Taylor
gave it long review in blank verse in
Browning's own style. 1t was supremely
ridiculous, to be sure, and everybody
laughed. The secret of Brounisg's style
has been discovered.
Upon the reporter remarking upon the
beautiful handwriting in the note, Col. Hay
said: g Yes, he always wrote just like
that. The compositors on the Atlantic
used to say that his was the best writing
they ever had to handle. He usually pre-
pared his copy for the press on narrow
slips Of paper, and it could always be read
with the distinctness of print.

Jerusalem and It's Future.

Rev. DR.. Newman lectured in New York
City recently on Jerusalem and Its Fu-
ture." After an interesting description Of
the Holy City as it was, he traced it's mar
velous vicissitudes to the present time.
"Eleven Cities" he said, chad been built
an thai site and during the tWenty-seYen
sieges from which they have suffered the
rubbish has accumulated to the depth of
$50 feet. The city is now in the hands of
the Moslems, and where stood the temple
now stands the mosque. Jerusalem has a
prophetic future. It is yet to be again the
great Jewish capital of the world. The
Hebrews are intermingled with all people
on the face of the globe, yet confounded
with none. They ar nation without
country, people without government !;
and they have been prescribed by emperors,
popes, sultans, infidels and Christians, yet
the civilized world to-day is singing their
psalms. They have not only survived the
adversities of two thousand years, but
many of them have risen to distinction.
There will be no sudden exodus from
Egypt-the return to Jerusalem will be
gradual. Some will 60 for pleasure, for
wealth, for patriotism and some for relig-
ion. Their return is prophetically an
nounced, the Word of the Lord standeth for
ever. Palestine is the great high bridge
between Europe and Asia. Jerusalem Is a
capital, not from choice, but from nature;
its location has political significance.
Forty Thousand Hebrews are now there, and
Disraeli is the minister of Providence for
he re-establishment of the commonwealth
