Luxury in New York.

The luxury and perfection of detail in
New York dwellings is passing into
proyerb. Nowhere in the world, proba-
bly, is so much time and money ex-
pended upon the furnishing and orna-
menting of the homes of the rich as In
that city. The draping of curtains has
become n distinct branch Of art, and
every decorator and upholsterer has
one or more employees whose sole bust
ness it is TO arrange in graceful folds the
draperies which are now indispensable
at doors, windows and fireplace. Even
the banisters must now be stuffed and
tufted and draped on either side with
heavy fringe. Ceilings are frescoed and
painted in the studios of distinguished
artists, and then transferred to the
houses that they are to embeliish. Hun
dreds Of women are employed, at an ex-
pense of thousands of dollars, upon en-
broidery and art needlework which are
to adorn the sumptuous palaces in which
the rich men live. Paintings, statuary,
carvings in stone and wood, the richest
fabrics of French and Indian looms, in
deed, all that is rare and beautiful in
nature and art, are brought to bear npon
the decoration of these republican pal
aces. Even the stables in which horses,
coachmen, and grooms are to be housed
are far more luxurious than the simple
homes in which the fathers of our race
passed their lives. The newly-finished
stables of Cornelius Vanderbilt in Fifty
eighth street far outshine those of the
Roman Emperor whose sumptuous ap-
pointments have become matter of
history.

This fire vas in one Of the show win
dows of Mr.. William Is. Je1teris, mil.
linery store, No. 503 Market street. The
window contained principally ribbon
and hats. The riro is supposed to have
originated by spark, which might
have dropped from the fuse when Mr..
Jetieris lit the gas in the window though
he says he had the gas lit for more tuan
five minutes before he discovered the
fire. Mr.. Jetiers immediately on dis
covering the flames, commenced to
snlether the fire. Mr.. William Adams,
Officers Chambers and McVey ran to Mr.
Jefteri- a,,is ahce and they succeeded
il checking the progress of the flames.
All of the gentlemen had their hands
burned by the fire, and the right hand
of Mr.. .Jetfers was bur led very bally,
aad will be apt to be sore for some time.
The contents Of the window were all
destroyed by fire and smoke. Mr.. JEFF

AdnlterRt1OA Of SILK HG Ods.

Some time ago all expert made an
analysis of il lot of samples Of black silk
dress goods purchas d in New York
and the result showed that Us a rule
French black silks are heavily adultera-
ted. The best silk should contain but
about II per cent. of dye in weight, and
this is about ths amount which the
Iablo shows that the American silk cOn-
tains. When we come 10 the Frerch
silk it is found by the analysis that the
samples lost weight by the removal of
the dye from 33 10 ~ per cent, when IL
the silk had been good the loss should
not have eIceeded II per cent. Some
samples were much more STUFFED"
than others. but all had buen adultera-
ted.
The p,nciral article used in weigh
ing the silk Is iron. 1t Is repeatedly
inserted Al a solution of the nitrate of
iron until iJ acquires the desired
wei sht. Then 1t gets q blue tint from
the prnssiate Of potash, followed by
several baths in gambler and a treat
ment of acetate OF iron. At this
stage the silk i, lustrelcss, but t. made
bright By q ogwool bath and the addi-
tion of large qualities Of soap. TO
make the silk soft AID satin-li like little
Oil and soda are added, while to make
them stiff and rusting acid Is added.
The two cardinal defects in black silk
are the weaving shiny and the crack
ing. The former comes from the natn
raj action OF the soap and alka!i, which
together develop u sort Of grease under
friction and era cking is simply the in
ability Of the little silk to carry it's
great load Of the other produc's OF in
dustry that are spread upon IT.
