New York,s newest market.

On Tuesday Manhattan Market.
on Thirty-fourth street, New York,
was opened for business, when by
noon 1t was estimated that fully $lO,-
900 had passed into the hands of The
marketmen in exchange for fish,
flesh, fowl, groceries, vegetables and
all that goes to encourage the res
taurateur aid comfort the inner
man. The building itself is said to
be the finest, as we'll as the largest,
devoted to market purposes in the
world. Its dome shaped roof, with
a clock tower 200 feet high, covers
an area of 100000 square feet, a
space equal to sixty-four city lots
an entire square. There are twenty
main entrances, five on each side,
and perfect arrangement of sew
erage and ventilation. The west
end is used for an abattoir, the mid
die secJion as a wholesale depart
ment and the front end for the ger
eral market. This latter division
has space for 800 stands, 800 of which
are alre dy in use or building. The
stands are admirably al Jagged, and
the constitution Of them, as to mat
erial and taste is IN eeping with the
charac .er of the great building they
occupy. They are placed in lines
running parallel with the length of
the building and grouped with a
view to classify the branch of trade
of which they are part. Butter,
cheese, eggs, &C., will be sold on
Dairy avenue. Produce avenue is
devoted to the sale of garden truck
and like products, the butchers will
weigh meat on Washington avenue,
fish will be found only ON Fulton
avenue; the scales of the grocerymen
will do their work on Grocer's ave-
nue. and the purchaser of tea, coffee
and spice will be directed to Orien-
tai avenue. Telegraphic comm', IL
cation with hotels electric lights,
water service, at every stand, restau-
rants and telegraph Office makes the
place a'community in itself, possess
ing every necessity, and no end of
luxuries. The abatoir is not yet
in operation, although cattle are
now being slaughtered there. 1t has
facilities for killing 1000 head of cat-
tie per day. The near proximity of
the slaughtering house does away
with the carting about the city Of the
meat and the saving of $3.50 on each
bullock is thus guaranteed to the
seller. The average co sumption
of beef in the city is 10000 steers a
week, upon which data it is easy to
calculate that saving of over So
600 per daysis made for sellers and
consnmerst TO divide between each
other. Fl

THE DAREDEVIL FORREST.

ONE OF THE MOST PICTURESQUE CHAR
ACTERs OF THE WAR OF THE REBEL
LION.
An Ex-Confederate Officer in the Cincin-
natl Enquirer.
No man ever exacted stricter obedi-
ence or moe, thoroughly maintained
it. He brooked no disobedience of his
own orders, and he resented their in
fraction with characteristic fire.
When his command needed supplies
he stopped on no technicalities of OBJ
struction to obtain them. The writer
we'll remembers Understanding arequi-
sition for food and forage to an officer
at one of the railroad stations, and was
refused on the grounds that the sup
plies belonged to aninfantry command
in the rear. Forrest having failed in
the same Mariner TO obtain needed
provisions, coolly took what he wished
without further parley, stating that if
any complaint was made he General
Forrest) was responsible. His servi-
ces were SO valuable that his summary
methods were overlooked. He said to
the writer in explanation of his taking
these supplies that he never hesitated
to override formalities when he deem
ed it necessary; that he would break a
thousand of them at any cost to him
self before hismen and horses should
suffer for want of subsistence, and that
the infantry in camp could get plenty
more, while his men, always in active
service ON the front, could not obtain
supplies all the time. a
Another instance of his disregard OF
rules was that he allowed his men to
absent themselves just when he pleased.
He had his loops on hand on all netei-
sary occasions for march or fighting or
picket duty. He would turn, a whole
regiment loose for = day or two when in
the vicinity of their homes, or when they
could be spared, and this when there
were positive orders against it from
army headquarters. And the practical
result of it was that it absolutely bene-
fited the service; it satisfied and en-
couraged the men, and made them
better soldiers. No general punisl ed
desenion more severely or demanded
harder service, and none took more re
sp visibility in behalf of the comfort or
pleasure of lis command,
While the writer connected lines with
Forrest the scouts Of that officer were
constantly in front and rear. Forrest
not only reconnoitred his own ground
but that of everybody else. His search
for information was unceasing. 1t was
this restless watchfulness and inquiry
that constituted one of his chief traits.
His scouts were ubiquitous. They went
everywhere and they exhausted every
source OF news Wherever he went he
had every road, path, thicket and point
of observation or approach, front, flank
and rear, picketed, and in addition his
scouts swarmed for miles around, send
ing bulletins to him hourly.
Just before the battle of Chickamauga
the writer was in command of a brigade
of cavalry at Alpine, Ga. Forrest passed
by going to the front and inquired of the
condition of matters and the news of
the enemy. He received all of the in
formation obtainable, and as he started
off to the front he blowed adieu and
said: 81 believe will 60 and give them
follows dar."

Spelling That Gives No INDIGESTION

OF HOW q Word ehOuld he Pro-
A recent English book on the "Man-
ners and Tone of Good 30 ciety," treats,
among other things, of fashionable pros
nunciation of proper names. Among
q o names whose spelling gives NO clue
to their pronunciation, some of them
a familiar enough through their use as
hack illustrations. Such are Cbolmon-
de ey, pronounced Chumlye; Marjori-
banks, pronounced Marshbauks; Cock
burn, pronoun ced Coburn, and Cowper,
pronounced Cooper. Again, MainwaT-
ing is Mannertng, Mcleod is McCloud.
In Egin and elliott the o is hard; in
q ff rd and Nigel it IL soft; in John
stone the should not be sounded. In
Molyneux the &C is sounded, and The
name Is pronounced MoIynoox, with a
very slight accent on the last syllable.
In Vaux the q Is also sounded, but IL is
mute in Des Vaux, aud like in Dever-
eux. In Ker, Berkeley ani Derby the
hes the sound of a in Iar. Ia Waldo
grave, the second syllable de should be
dropped, and SO should the III In Biyth.
Dil1wyp In pronounced Dilluu, and Ly-
veden-Livdeu. In CoDygham,s Mon
son, M onkto and Ponsonby, the takes
the sound of u; and Blount should be
pronounced Blunt, the being mute.
Buckan, and Beauclerk or Beauclerc is
BoclAre, the accent being ON the first
syllable. Wemvss should be pronounc.
ed Weems, and D'Eresby-D' Ersby. In
Montgomerie the is elided, and the two
o's have the sound of u, the accent being
on the second syllable. In Hertford the
Is elided and the has the sound of a in
far. Stfachan should be pronounced
Strawn Colquohoun is Koohoop, the
accent being or the last syllable; Beau
| champ IL Beactam. and Coutts Is Koots.
Another formidable name TO the iun-
initiated IL Duchesne, which should be-
pronounced Dukarn.5 Bethnne should
be Beeton, and in Abcrgavsnny the dU
l. not sounded. M Menzies IL pronouuced
Mynges; Knollys as Knows; Sandys as

nounced Dee-al, with the accent on the

mis- is Charms, Geoghegan should be-
pronounced GaJan, and Ruthven is

We my add that the accent is fre-
quently misplaced in pronouncing Brit
ish proper names, and few of the
words liable to mistake may be here
noted. In Tadema aud Millais the ac-

London society has been rather

London society has been rather
startled by the announcement of the
approaching marriage of the Earl of
Malmesbury with Mrs. Lorelle. The
noble bridegroom is in his seventy
second wear, and the bride, whose first
husband was one of the victims of the
Zulu war, is about half that age.
The Countess Of Malmesbury died
without any children. Much sympa-
thy is, therefore, felt with the heir
.,esumptive and his family at the un-
expected change in their prospects.

An Extraordinary Marriage.

Ithaca was the scene a few days age.
Of one of the most remarkable mar
riages on record, the bridegroom,
Samuel Love, being SO years of age
and bed-ridden, while the bride. Mr. 5
a. NJ. Fenner, of Lansing, is about 60.
She made an attempt to marry the
man some time ago, but was
thwarted in her scheme by Miss
Rachel Huntly, of Elmira, a niece of
Mr.. Love, who i9 the heir of the prop
erty under his will On this occasion
the woman evaded the vigilance of
Mr.. Loves protector, and gained ac-
cess to his room at the Tioga house, in
company with her brother and a
clergyman named ]. W. Pratt, of
Lansingville. Mr.. Love is in an utterly
helpless condition, very deaf, unable
to dress or undress himself, and, in
fact, is all but inanimate. The wo-
man claims to have been acuated
merely by a desire to minister to his
wants and without reference to the con
tingency of inheriting any portion 0
his money.
