Luxury in New York.
World.

AT recent dinner party in Madison
avenue, under the supervision of Pinard,
the table was spread with q scarlet cloth
upon which lay an open-work cloth of
beautiful design. Down the middle of
the table extended rug Of crimson vel
vet edged with gold fringe, the corners
decorated with peacock feathers. Upon
this was placed raised plateau of silver
and glass, in the centre of which was a
large epergne of fridescent crystal, the
branching arms of which supported
small baskets of flowers. The chandelier
which overhupg the epergne was pro-
fusely trimmed with smilax, the globes
being covered with richly colored shades.
At either end of the plateau was a gilt
candelabrum holding red candles. On
the intervening CLASSY surface there
were miniature boats drawn by swans
and laden with flowers In the hooks
and corners of the room were candelabra
shedding a crimson light. Beside each
lady was placed bouquet of roses, and
at each gentleman's place boutonniere.
The dinner cards bore poetical quota
tions appropriate to the guests for whom
they were severally intended. On the
back of the cards was written ques
ton, whoever made the right answer to
which was TO receive present. Through
out the dinner, low-toned music was
played by the orchestra.

tory Recalled.

A correspondent in Ireland whose re-
marks are very deserving of attention.
writes to us that about nine o'clock on
the last night of the old year, q large
portion of the counties of Galway and
Mayo were suddenly ablaze with torches
formed roughly OF sheaves of wheat. IL
was not quarter Of an hour from the
time that the first torch was observed be-
fore the country to the horizon was all
alight. Loud shouts were heard, horns
and whistles were blown, cans were
beaten and the inhabitants seemed to have
become demented. Country houses were
hastily closed up and secured; the police
prepared in their barracks for de-
Tense, and everybody outside the Land
League made certain that the dreaded
moment had come. The lights and the
noises subsided about eleven o'clock and
the night passed over with no more than
the usual number of outrages. The
country people affect to be ignorant of
the cause of the illumination some said
it was to celebrate the liberation of Par
nell, but the facts of the trial are well
known in every hamlet and such reason
could not hold water There is no Gus.
tom of the kind on New Years eve.
The question asked on every side in Ire.
land is, we hear, Was it a preconcerted
practice in signalling? or was it an expe.
riment9 A few nights before the Fenian
rising something of the same kind was
observed in several parts of the country,
and many well affected people are Of
the opinion that the incident portends
no good. In the winter of 1882 the
country was observed one night to be full
of flashing lights in every direction.
Men were franticahy running around
with lighted sods Of turf in their hands.
with which they rushed from one house
to another. The origin of the phenom-
ena was never clearly traced, but it
was supposed to have been man ap-
pearing at house and leaving lighted
sod Of turf, at the same time giving di-
rections that the house owner should
rub it TO seven other sods which he was
20 leave to seven houses that had not be-
fore received them. This was to be done
on pain of eternal perdition. That night
almost every Catholic house in Ireland
was visited, and many died from the ex-
ertion of getting rid of their seven sods
of turf. 1t is supposed that it was an
experiment to see in how short q time
communication might be effected on an
emergency from different centres of &C
tivity, acting simultaneously. 1t was
called ''the night of the holy fire." In
ireland no sign ought to be neglected.
In 1867 the police were still in their
country barracks when the day of the
rising came, although orders had been
issued for their concentration in the
event of the near prospect of what was
known must come.

SAN FRANCISCO, February "A dispatch
from Carson, New, says: "At $3.50 this
afternoon the dam of Franktown reservoir

three-quarters of a mile wide, and fifty feet

people of Franktown moved their house

Railroad, apprehensive Of danger, tapped
the dam, and were drawing the water off
when it broke. 1t went all at once.
A dozen men were swept down by the tor

side of a ravine. No lives were lost. The
water at the narrow portion of the rsvine
was 100 feet deep. When the town was
reached houses went before the food like
chaff. The town was only cluster OF
houses on one street, which was almost to-
tally destroyed. Nearly mile of the railroad
track was washed away, some Of the rails
being snapped in two.n
