Table D'Hote Abroad.

Foreign Letter TO the Cincinnati Commercial.
Breakfast on the Continent always means
only bread and coffee to the laboring people
it means a bowl Of broth and a bit of bread,
or bread alone. The American. however,
will find himself served with butter, and
eggs or meat, unless he has previously ord
cred ''plain breakfast" when he will re-
eeive the usual bread and coffee. The noted
table d'hote is perhaps the least susceptible
Of change. Ii usually is served at 8 o'clock,
an hour when the days work is over, and
the meal can be taken at leisure. 1t is the
social meal of the day, and all the guests of
the hotel are expected to meet at the table.
Ii requires never less than an hour, oftener
two. and unless your company is entertain
ing it is long and dreary process.
Perhaps you have been told that there
will he ten or fifteen courses, end if unini-
tiated YOU will have YOUR mind made up that
for once you will have YOUR usual "square
meal !" but when the waiter, with neck-tie
and shirt front Of immaculate whiteness,
brings you a small piece of bread and dish
of slightly colored water called soup, yIu
proceed With quiet resignation with the he
lief that YOU will have the dinner presently
but your curiosity is only the more aroused
when the plates are changed. and after a
long dreary waiting YOU receive a very small
bit of fish then the table is cleared again,
and YOU are served with a bit of chickens
like a true American YOU have dispatched
your bread long enough since, and you take
chicken and play il alone :" but you con
clude 3, is passing strange" when you learn
that buttered chestnuts and nothing else or
a bit Of cheese alone, will he served for a
course. anekso YOU continue for an hour or
two in patient expectation of the meal that
sNever comes. Ny Yankee friend put it ex-
actly right when he said There : a
moulhful to eat, and then square acre of

eau. no, the other day. when he had borne
patiently until the meal was half over, thun-

Over fifty years ago James L. Gillis.
now Judge ellis, of Iowa, was one OF the
men tried for the abduction of William Nor
gan, the betrayer of the secrets of masonry.
Nearly all arraigned in the trial of his
alleged abductors came TO some sudden end,
and Judge ellis long since survived all
those who were associated with him. A
few years ago one of his sons was called to
tie door of his Iowa residence and shot
down. Week before last another son was
shot in the same way, and the judge and his
friends firmly believe the tragedies trace
back to the Morgan affair. The case re-
minds one of Bristeds story of ''rhe Dead
Shot"

How THEY GOT RICH.-"You see that
man just crossing the street 2" remarked
Chicago man to New Yorker whom he was
towing around to see the sights. "Well,
that man sold pop corn in this city for twen-
ty wears, and he is worth Slj0,O00." "Did
he make it selling pop corn ?" ''Oh, no.
He made his pile buying lake-front lots"
Pretty soon the guide called his attention to
a man standing in the door Of a bank and
added: "Thst man opened the first bible
house west of New York city, Thirty years
ago, he was rat poor. To-day he runs that
bank" "Did he make his money selling
bibles3" .'Oh, no. He bought prairie land
and held on to it." In the course of ten
minutes big building was pointed ou, as be-
longing to a man who reached Chicago nine
teen years ago with fifty cents in his pocket
He opened night school and now revels in
his wealth. "Did he make it in teaching
school ?" asked the New Yorker. "Oh, no.
He went into the dray business as soon as
he had money enough to buy horse. After
several more like cases had been referred
to, the visitor asked, ',Have you one single
man in Chicago who has made money in the

How GRANT LEARNED TO SMokE. -
Gen. Grant has explained how he became
attached to a cigar. When at West Point
he tried la JON other cadets in smoking.
bat the experiment did not agree with him.
and he did not form the habit, nor did be-
begin To smoke much until he began fight
ing the battles of the war Engaged in all
the early contests, he found a cigar of some
service in relieving the mental strain upon
him, and when a battle was IN progress he
often had a cigar in hi> mouth, but still be
was not an inyeterate smoker. On other
occasions be probably did not smoke 50
much as most men of moderate indulgence
To his surprise he found the newspapers
making 4 point Of his smoking, and very
soon boxes Of elegant cigars began to arrive
At his headquarters from all parts Of the
country. There were So many that al Of
hCer, attached 10 his immediate service we're
supplied, and with such a supply he assisted
in samping until, as the campaign vent on,
he enjoyed his cigar on all occasions, and
ha, since smoked as much as the best Of
men. He think, the new >paper~ influenced
him great deal ON the tobacco question.

The Hamlin Gems.

At the late inaugural balls at Washington
the famous parure Of American gems Vas
worn by one Of the members Of the HamlIn
family Of Maine. 10 whom IL belongs, and by
whom it has been constructed from collec-
tons Of the past sixty years. Previously to
the ball It vas examined by number Of the
naiuralis,s Of Washington. one of whom
has kindly furnished brief description Of
the charming jewels 1t has been init
mated that they may eventually become
the property Of the nation, and be deposited
at the Smithsonian Institute. as the proper
reception for them. This rare collection Of
our native productions should certainly be
preserved entire. as il IS represented to be
far superior to the easket Of Scotland gems
presented by the loyal Scots TO Queen Caro-
line many Years ago.
The parure consists Of bandeau, EAR
drops, brooch and necklace. The bandeau
is composed of line OF beryls from Massa-
chusetts, upon which are placed in separate
points red, white and green tourmalines
from Maine, yellow emerald from Massa-
chusetts. and garnets and other gems from
the West. The eardrops are Composed OF

malines. sapphires and beryls, of fine colors
from Maine Montana and Massachusetts.
The necklace is composed Of twenty-five
links of gold. each link containing a beryl
from Massachusetts. and from which is sus-
penued a pendant formed of fine gems
Some Of these pendants contain stones Of
extraordinary beauty, and, in fact, they ex-

excepting the big diamond found in Virgin
Ia, which was purchased by John Morrissey,

The central stone is a magnificent green
tourmaline from Maine, weighing twenty
eight karats, and is without flaw. This
gem is surrounded with pearls from the
fresh water clans of New England brooks.
On either side Of the tourmaline are two
matehless opals Of more than an inch in
diameter, without impertection, and exhib-
iting a wondous display OF prismatic colors
"Oberon" and ,'Titania," are the names Civ

certainly nothing on earth can give more
enhancing glimpses than these perfect
gems. Montana is well represented with
beautiful garnets and sapphires of red, white
and blue colors. New Mexico contributes,
besides the garnets or blood-red hue, sup
erb turquoise more than an inch in length
1t is gem that would have gladdened the
hearts Of Cortez and his followers when
they despoiled the Mexieans Of their find
emeralds, turquoise and other varieties.
The displayed of native tourmalines is quite
extraordinary, and comprises fine stones of
green, red, white, blue and yellow eolors.
The necklace contains over $50 gems, which
form altogether a jewel of remarkable
beauty, and is in fact, museum in itself Of

The MAINE MINEs.-The success which
seems to be attending the development of
the Maine mines proves beyond a peradvent-
ure that the companies who have expended
their time and money in trying to open up
the mineral resources of the State have not
been spending their substance in vain. A
few years ago. when companies were first
being formed for mining in the State of
Maine, but very little attention was paid to
the new gold and silver field by the outside
world, and no one believed that the expert
ment would prove paying one in any sense
of the term. So accustomed had the pub
lie become to looking to California and the
far-western States for mining properties,
that no one for moment supposed that
mining property Of any value could be
found on the Atlantic coast. 1t is now re-
ported, however, that two or three Of the
Maine mining companies will be able to pay
a dividend by June or July of the present
year, and that more will soon follow. Should
this prove true, il will do more to draw at
tention to Maine mining lands and estab-
lish their value in the public mind than any
other one thing could do--Stoek Reporter
