Hon. Geo. Bancroft, the historian
celebrated his S0th birthday at his sum-
mer residence at Newport, X. L., yester'
day.
The sale of subscription tickets fol
the Bernhardt season at Booths began
Oct. Isl, at that theatre. There was q
rush OF applicants. The price of season
tickets is 500, and Ill less than an hour
400 of the choicest orchestra chairs had
been taken representing $4,000.
The Washington Critic says Mrs.
Read nee Dahl sren, who has been spend
ing some weeks in our midst, has deter
mIned TO take a house for the season
aud pass the winter among her old
friends. She is now at her elegant home
in Wilmington, but will return about
The first of November.
DR.. NJ. l.. Yost, well-known phi
anthropist of Bethlehem, asserts that
the practice of riding on velocipedes is
very injurious to youth. He says that
he has had practical illustration in his
own family, from the fact that his young
son, who has been INDUCING in this
kind OF exercise for some time past, is
becoming humpbacked.
The N. Y. San says Mr.. Abram S.
Hewitt is now entertaining at his spa.

New Jersey, his Excellency the Gov
ernor Of the Fiji Islands, with the Hon.
Mr.. Eden, Capt. Herbert, and nine other
eligible and doubtless charming young
Englishmen who compose the Fjian
dignitary's suite. Besides these a num-
Der of the young friends of Mr.. Hew-
tits daughters have been invited to meet
these "South Sea Islanders" one of
whom expressed the naive hope that
'she would not be left alone with any of
them, as if he CHANGED to be hungry he
would probably slay and eat herp' Gov
ernor des Voleux is fortunate in being
the guest Of a man who can show him
one of the finest iron regions of the
world, and iron works as extensive and
profitable as any in the old country.

ANOTHER FEMALE MANIA.
THE LATELY ACQUIRED TASTE FOR
bedroom DECORATION,

The LAIEL1 ACQUlhED TASTE FUR
bedroom DECORATION.
The newest mania among fashion
able women, married and unmarried
alike, is to make their bedrooms
beautiful. The lately acquired taste
for decoration is taking that turn
Just now to the utter neglect of par
Tors and other apartment. Pillow
shams and bedspreads are laborious-
ly and extensively covered with
needlework and lace; dressing cases
are furnished with elaborated mast
and ingenious receptables for toilet
articles: bottles and boxes of the fin
est material and workmanship hold
her ladyship's cologne, perfumery
and powder; more or less excellent
pictures hang on the walls, or the
walls are wholly covered with lace.
In short, the rage for sleeping in
beautiful rooms has possessed every
woman. Even her toilet crockery
must now be of no ordinary ware.
She washes her hands in ceramic
bowl, colors her lips and eyebrows
out of cracked Japanese saucer,
and uses Pompei an hand-glass to
see her back hair. The ideal bed OF
the day has canopy over it, and
this is made as fine and beauti ful as
the money and taste of the woman
will permit. The frame-works are
made OF metal, commonly FURNISHED
brass or nickel. Chintz and cretonne
are ordinarily used for the curtains;
but satin velvet and the better laces
enter into the combination. Unmar-
ried women affect white and the
most delicate colors for these cano-
pies, and put white doves atop, as
emblems of purity-so that the mid
night marauder may comprehend the
situation at glance. A novel de-
vice is rack handsomely construct
ed OF black walnut or ebony, with
hooks for hanging woman's under
wear handily. The chemise, the
corset, the stockings, the shoes, all
have their places, so that a woman
may be as orderly as she likes in I'M
dressing and without the old trouble
of using all the chairs in the room.
Some of the bedrooms of the period
are really marvels of exquisite taste
too sweet and dainty by far to
deserve the rude occupancy of hus-
bands. However, the best Of these
apartments belong to maidens, who
show them with coyness and pride
to their male friends. The dazed
fellows stand palpitating on the
threshold, gazing in at the vision OF
innocent somnolency and swearing
on the spot to marry the tenant OF
that beautiful bed or die. The nat
ural result of all this will be an un-
usual number Of weddings this win
| ter.

An exchange gives the following
remedy for earache: Take small piece
of cotton wool, make depression in the
center and fill it with pepper; gather it
into ball and tie it up; dip it into
sweet oil and insert it in the ear. In
slant relief will follow. Another remedy
is to dip a Chinese firecracker in nitric
acid, put the cracker in the aching ear
and explode it. The acid will prepare
the ear for the fireworks.

The Massachusetts board of health
reports that authorizations of staple gro
ceries are not as common as the public
have been led to suppose. For the pur.
pose of test, the expert of the board
took samples of flour, sugar, bread, soda,
cream of tartar, and baking powders,
obtained in stores in forty cities and
towns. The flour was found in all in
stances to be wholly free from all
foreign substances, and, with the ex-
ception of one or two coarse varieties of
brown sugar, no adulteration was per-
ceptible in that article; and in these
isolated cases there was reason for
thinking that the defects were due to
imperfections in the process of manu-
facture. The soda examined, although
sold under variety of names, such as
saleratus, bicarbonate, supercarbonate,
and cooking soda, was all found to be
much the same article, and nearly all of
it good. The poor soda was that which
had not been properly purified of the
crude soda ash, but this sulphate is not
injurious to health. Baking powders
were found to be pure in twenty-four
instances out of thirty-three. The
adulteration consisted in an excess of
flour or starch over that needed for mix
ing the soda and cream of tartar. There
was also some alum found. In cream of
tartar considerable amount of adul-
.eration was detected.

Crops are looking reasonably
well. especially corn and cotton,
though forward corn has suffered
for want of rain. The small
amount of wheat that was harvest
ed PANIED out badly in the thresh-
ing. The average, we learn, will
not exceed three bushels to the
acre.
We have but few loafers here
and it is likely the few we have
will either fall into line with the
workers, or fold their tents like
the Arabs and silently steal away.

HIGH-PRICED INDIAN LANDS.

CONTINUED NEGOTIATIONS OF RAILROAD REPREsEN-
TATIvEs WITH THE SIOUX.
WAsmxGToN Dec. 29.-Two separate conferences
were held today at the Interior Department before
Secretary Schurz between the Cheyenne River and
Lower Brule Sioux delegations and representatives
of the Chicago and Northwestern and the Chicago,
Milwaukee aud St. Paul Railroads. IN regard to OBJ
tanning right of way for the continuation Of two
lines of railway through the Sioux reservation. lu
fhe forenoon conference was held with the
CHEYENNE River delegation, and Four Bears at the
outset renewed his proposal of yeste ay by asking
81 000O 600 for the necessary lands.
Secretary Scnurz said that the railroad company
offered to pay nearly 50 per for the necessary
strip of land which, lie said, nearly four times
as much as the Government obtained for Wild lands
He endeavored to point out to them the advantages
which would result from having a railroad bullt
through their reservation owing to the fact that
it would bring their crops nearer TO market, and
thns enhance the value of their land adjoining the
railroad. If they wanted to be civiized, railroads
were great civilizng agencies. Ratthng Rib then
wanted to know whether ,hey could or could not
get the price asked when Secretary Schurz informed
b,m that they could not and added that be thought
tbr Indians did not know how much 81 100000
were or they would not be so foolish as to ask such
an .yorDitant prlce. Rattling Rib concluded his
talk by remarkng that We must talk 1t over
SLOW" and addeCUthat they WOud go poihe anu tiih
with their people. -

SEVERE DECEMBER STORMS.

WINTRY WEATHER WIDELY REPORTED.
THE FAIL OF SNOW IN THIS CITY - COLDER
WEATHER EXPECTED-DAMAGE REPORTED by
VESSELS AT sEi-INTEysE COLD IN THE NORTH.
WEST AND sOUni-HEAvY FALLS OF SNOW
RAILROAD TRAVEL INTERRUPTED.
The storm of dry snow that visited the city
yesterday and Tuesday evening caused much
discomfort. Travel on the street rail-
way lines was slow and tedious.
The weather was clear late last
evening, although another storm accom-
panied by colder weather is expected In day
or two. The gale on Sunday was very severe
at sea, and all incoming vessels report more
or less damage. Few vessels arrived yester =
day on account of the dense snow. Heavy
falls of snow are reported IN tins State, in
Ncw-Jerscy and in various portions of the
South. Railroad travel was seriously inter-
fered with, and in several instances trains
became stalled and were abandoned.
