 At the Homestead yesterday party of la dies and gentlemen, gnests at the Indian Neck House, had shore dinner. They came over in yacht.
 Ararat Lodge, of Hartford, were served with a fine shore dinner by Mir. Howes, the popular restaurateur. They were delighted with the bill of fare which was great treat to the people from the inland sole capital.
 Many of the many thousands who ride to the shore by the cars have had occasion to recognize the faithfulness of the conductors, who, despite the severe tax which the carry ing of great loads often imposes, ever seek to do everything in their power. The three oldest conductors on the road have long been in service of the company The longest in continuous service is Mir. Royce. Mir. Hig- gins is next, and Mir. Masshure, who has had different periods of service, is next. Mir. Masshure began about ten years ago, Mir. Royce and Mir. Higgins eight.

Spirits for the Ladies'.
From tie Pail Mall Gazette.

From tie Pail Mall Gazette. -s.,.
A well known firm in Tottenham- court
road for some time past have been very
anxious to procure a license to serve the two
or three hundred lady customers who lunch
daily in their establishment with spirits,
wine and beer. At present they can only
supply tea, coffee, and similar beverages,
MUCH it would seem, to the dissatisfaction
of their numerous lady customers, who
for 20 years past have unanimously been
pressing their CLAIMS upon them" for wine
beer and spirits. TO meet the demands of
these thirsty ladies', application was made
yesterday to the st. Pancras licensing au-
thority, but it met with peremptory and
decisive refusal. Sir w. Wyatt cut short
the speech Of the counsel opposing the ap-
plication, and then delivered Judgment with
emphasis, refusing to grant the license and
stating significantly that "he might add, to
save trouble in the future. that the opinion
OF the Bench was unanimous It is not
very pleasant to think of two or three hun
bred ladies unanimously pressing for spir-
its, wine and beer every day in however
magnificent a lunch room. and it is to be
hoped that the counsel exaggerated the de.
mand for intoxlcants among the fair fire.

there will be no serious lamentation over a
decision which condemns them when out
shopping to take tea instead of brandy, and
to substitute apollinaris water for clicquot.

There is nothing that contributes so
much to q good table as plenty of good,
fresh, wholesome vegetables, in variety and
in their season. This fact is often over
looked by farmers, or, if not overlooked,
neglected. There are few points we
must try to keep in view. All vegetables
to be palatable, must be grown quick helce
the ground must be warm, rich, and we'll
prepared.
Many garden seeds are very small, hence
care should be taken not to put them in too
deep. Very generally also seeds are sown
too thick, in order to make sure OF crop,

to thin out the plants work very general

anything.

FORTUNES THAT WE'RE.

New York Letter to Cincinnati Gazette.
Speaking of these rich men, it NAV be
added that the foundation of great fortunes
is laid slowly. Then comes the gradual
growth and the illumination after which
comes inevitable decay. A number of
large fortunes are now either slowly crum-
bling or passing rapidly away. One of
those capitalists who formerly commanded
the admiration Of the city, was John G.,
Coster. He was German. and formerly
owned the site of the Astor house. 1 re-

S1,OOO,OO This was many years ago,
when such sum was worth twice it's pres
ent value. He was fast young man, and
got to the end of it in about ten years,
after attaining his majority I also met
him in his rooms at the Astor house, where
was sent to dun him for petty BILL He
was then near the bottom of his purse,
and soon disappeared from pub
D NC view. Another rich estate was
that of the Tobias family, which owned
lands near Madison Square. Adjacent to
these was the Brevoort estate, {. portion of
which is still in the hands of the heirs.
The great estate of John Mason (once the

and also that of Henry Eckford, formerly
the great shipbuilder, are now OFT OF no.
tee, but Of the former portion remains.
Another past estate was the Hone property.
Philip Hone was once great man in this
city, and indeed was not only merchant
prince, but Mayor, and founoer of Clinton
Hall Association. lie left large property,
which has faded away in the natural course
Of things. The Coddingtons, of Bond
street, were also among the magnates Of
fashion, but where are they now? Alderman
Carman' who died a few years ago, left a
million, but little Of this princely estate
remains in the possession Of the family.
Carman began as a carpenter. 1t were we'll

names, but there are many of less impor-
