Etiquette of the Umbrella.


The following has recently been pub
lished:
The umbrella, which the Englishman
uuder his threatening climate wisely
considers an indispensable aecompani-
ment of his toilet as often as he breathes
the outer air, is for very different rea-
sons in the East necessity to the native.
In Siam and Burmxh, China, AMMAN
and Cochin China, it is not only the
necessary protection against the intru-
sive rays of vertical sun, but it has
functions of its own to discharge which
are quite foreign to it even in those
countries where it is, as it was intended
to be, .'little shade" It is distinctive
feature in the lives and characters of the
natives of those parts, and their kings
and emperors, when writing to one an
other, allude to their subjects as
''wearers of the umbrella in contra
distinction to the ignorant and misguided
people of other climes. Thus we find an
emperor of China writing to king of
Burmah, From the royal elder brother,
Tan-kwang, emperor of China, who rules
over a multitude of umbrella-wearing
chiefs in the Great Eastern Empire" to
"royal younger brother, sun-descended
king, lord os the golden palace, who
rules over q multitude of umbrella
chiefs in the Great Western Empire. !"
In Burmah especially the umbrella has q
deep and secret meaning to convey
what is as double-Dutch at first to the
foreigners ear. 1t is, it need scarcely
be said, the necessary finish to the out
of-door toilet of Penguan or Burmese
fashionable, but it is much more. 1t
has very delicate duties to perform
which could not so well be allotted in
Burmah to any other instrument. Gold
or gilded umbrellas, which in the
provinces may be carried by anybody
are reserved in the capital for princes OF
the blood alone; and red umbrellas are
affected by the gay sparks of Burmese
society as being the next thing most
| gaudy in appearance. Etiquette has
| also fixed the exact number of umbrellas

Ein-She-Men, or heir apparent, is enti-
tied to have borne over his litter the full
complement of eight golden umbrellas

The Dollar Mark.


There are a number of theories for the
origin of the dollar mark. One is, that
it is q combination of the q. S., the ini-
tials for the United States; another, that
it is modification of the figure 8, the
dollar being formerly called "a piece of
eight, and designated by the character
S-8. The third theory is that it is a com
bination of H. s., the mark of Roman
unit: while the fourth is that it is COM
bination of p. and s., from the Spanish
peso duro, which signifies ''hard dollar. !"
In Spanish accounts, peso is contracted
by writing the S. over the P. and placing
it after the sum, The last theory of the
origin of the sign is offered by the editor
of the London Whitehall Reuisa, who re-
Gently propounded the question at a din
ner party in that city, at which the Amer
lean Consul was present. As no one could
tell, the editor gave the following ex
planation: It is taken from the Spanish
dollar, and the sign is to be found of
course in the associations of the Spanish
dollar. We Uttered the table with books
in the course of our researches, but I
proved my point in the end On the re-
verse OF the Spanish dollar is repre-
sentation of the Pillar of Hercules, and
round each pillar is scroll, with the in
seriptioD, Pins ultra. This device, in
the course of time. has degenerated into
the sign which stands at present for
American, as we'll as Spanish dollars.
The scroll around the pillars, L take it,
represent the two serpents sent by Juno
to destroy Hercules in his cradle"

At the invitation of Commissioners
Brennan and Hess, Hayerly's negro min
strel troupe, numbering some fifty per-
sons, visited yesterday the public insti-
tutions on Blackwells Island The band
OF the troupe accompanied them, and
when the party arrived at the Charity
Hospital serenaded the patients from the
grounds outside. After passing through
the penitentiary the company came to
the Female Almshouse, where they
amused the paupers with solos and
ehoruses, passing on to confer similar
blessing on the male paupers. AT the
Workhouse the band again played sew
eral airs and performed some curious ev-
olutions under the direction of the gor-
geous drum-major, Bnhee. On the lawn
north of the Female Insane Asylum
platform had been erected and seats
placed for about eight hundred of the
patients of that institution. After lunch
500 female lunatics were marched into
the inc1osure and seated with an order
and precision really admirable. After
an overture by the band, Jim Mcintosh
sang the Silver Slipper" in the chorus
OF which the entire troupe Joined, play
ing on bones and on tin plates in lieu of
tambourines. This reused mp many of
the audience who had before seemed
sunk in apathetic melanchelia. Lewis
Brown sung Little Blossom" to calm
them. Bangs followed with eyes, I'll

lowed the amusing limitations of steam

Hunter, and the .Bogtown Sextet," de-
lighted the audience greatly with comic
songs and comic antics. Wallace King,
the tenor, sang Sally Horner.n Ker-
sands sang Keep In the Middle of the
Road and the Gospel Raft" and then,
at the request of Mr.. Brennan, the band
played EST. Patrick's Day in the Morn
ing." This seemed to delight the pa
tients immensely, nearly all of them
keeping time to the music with their
hands or feet, while many got up and
danced. The entertainment was con-
cluded by grand walk around by the
entire troupe. During the entertain

ed an interesting study. Some few be-
came unduly excited, but we're promptly
and quietly led off without disturbing
the rest. It wrs easy to see that in near
ly all cases only pleasurable emotions
were excited; nearly all wore smiling
faces, and many laughed heartily at the
more amusing parts of the performance.
The physicians say that such entertain
ments are of great benefit to the patients,
dispelling the melancholia which afflicts
most of them. The minstrel troupe vol
unteered its services and the expenses of
the entertainment were met by Commis-
sioners Brennan and Hess personally.

Geneese Boatmen.

When we went to Tivoi last week we
returned in q special train with several
hundred Genoese cdaotteri, who were
invited to Rome for boat race by the
society here They had been to the cas-
cades, the baths and the Temple of
Sybil, but overheard young woman
telling them, "ohl you have seen moth
ing if you have not seen the Villa d'Este,
but it is impossible to see all in one day"
The poor fellows, who were worn out
with the fatigue of climbing the hills,
looked rather crestfallen ut this, but
many of them had brought away large
pieces of the pstrifed leaves and twigs
found near the waterfall.
These Genoese, though no doubt
strong and 1.-the boat rowers, are not
types OF manly beauty. They are posi-
lively ugly, and formed q striking con-
trast TO the Apollo-like forms of the Ro-
mans at the regatta on the Tiber. This
regatta was organized for the benefit of
the marine hospital for children, and
was, as usual, on Sunday afternoon.
The border of the river was covered with
people, who manifested great enthu-
siasm, and prize was awarded to the
successful canoe by the Minister of Ma
rine. The king and the aristocracy
and the diplomatists and many
lovely ladies were there, and, not
withstanding the beauty of the Romans I
am afraid that the ugly Genoese won the
race. From my green terrace, near the
Tiber, heard but did not see the re-
gatta. The music of the bands, the
booming of the cannon and the shouts of
The people came floating. up in the air
and mingled with the shrieks of the
swallows that eireled above the hocks.
The demonstrations of friendliness be-
tween the Genoese and Romans on this
occasion were remarkable. They dined
each other, and they made speeches in
praise of each other, and never tired of
shouting from the windows and cars,
"Viva Genovat' or Viva Romep Even
the harvesters on the Campagna, reap
ing in long lines in the hot June
sun, stopped their work a moment as
their train passed to give them friendly
shout. This is good sign, and it is
well for Italy that the days when one
city made war upon another, and cap
tured the chains that protected its gates
and hung them up in their own public
places. have gone by. The watohword
now is brotherly-love. Liberty. union,

location was made, the only objection was
made by a New York knight who moved to
substitute New York for San Francisco. This
being promptly voted down. the report was
accepted with special unanimity, making San
Francisco the place for the next conelave.
It is stated that the Californians made two
propositions t. the knights. The first was
that California commanderies would make
such arrangements that round trip tickets
should cost every knight not over so. The
second proposition was that the Caii!orni ians
would pay all the fares between Omaha and
