Florentine Balls,

The Florentine correspondent of the
New York Tribune says that fashion
able ball in Florence presents to the
stranger many phases Of social etiquette
at once novel and picturesque. Ladies
and gentlemen are alike ushered into a
great hall or ante-chambef, sometimes
on the ground floor, sometimes on the
first, and are waited on by the same at
PENDANTS, and the tleecy, delicate wraps
of the ladies are ranged beside the
rougher garments of the sterner sex.
The guests, on being received, pass
along to explore the line of brilliantly
lighted salons before the crowd fills
them, or seat themselves in feminine
row against the wall, to observe and
criticisc the guests as they arrive.
Ices, syrups, cakes, and tea and sand
witches arc dispensed from table or
buffet in the dining-room until supper
is served by throng of gaily-liveried
lackcys, and refreshments are never ex-
pected to be furnished beyond the din
ing-room door. A bottle of champagne
is placed at each plate, as was tho GUS
tom at the Tuileries at those grand en-
tertainments given by Napoleon III.
A smoking-room is open the entire
evening, and is as much frequented by
ladies as gentlemen. The bellies of
Florence have great beauty and fasci-
nation; yet certainly our own country
women, and many of the English, are
as much admired. Everybody seems
to dress we'll, but the display of family
jewels among the Italian aristocracy is
something fabulous. They are always
inherited by tho eldest son, whose wife
has particularly good time displaying
them as long as she lives, and then,
alas, they are to illuminate the shout.
ders OF the ever-dreaded daughter-in-
law. After the supper and during CO.
tillion refreshments are passed and
partaken of freely; and at eight or
later in the morning a hot breakfast re-
freshes the guests, whose carriages
have been ordered at ten or in some
cases not until noon. The women who
give themselves up to this life of So
called pleasure night after night expect
to sleep all day until time to dress and
lunch and dine, and make q few late
calls just before seven o'clock dinner,
after which they usually 90 to bed
again to prepare for another midnight
carousal. A married belle has usually
five admirers who contract to dance
with no one but herself, and her dane
ing steps are equally circumscribed.
There are enough men, however, whose
feet are free to fly around with the
young maidens or other married ladies
who wish to give or receive only gen
eral attention.

Outlandish Garments Of the Britain,

Tho outlandish garments that i'm
stantly betray the Briton in this coun-
try, have. as tho French put it, no rae
son Pet'e in such a climate as ours.
1t may be IN enlightenment to most
folks who wonder over the homogeneous
attire of the Englishman to learn that
his costume, down to the minutest de-
tail, is the result of study of the eli
mate and conditions in which it is
worn. Take one article, for example,
which has of late years gotten great
vogue among us, the ''plastron. This
was invented for business men in large
cities in England to enable them to
present q cleanly appearance during
business hours. A walk of five min
ntes in tho dingy, streets of London
discolors anything like a white shirt
front. The plastron was adopted to
remedy this. But in France, where tho
same conditions do not exist, the neck
wear for mon is becomingly varied
light laces, silks, cambrics of infinite
patterns, adorn the masuline neck, re-
lieving an attire which at best is grace
less and insipid. philadelphia Times.

The Cost of Electric Light,

Mr.. Leo Daft, the electrician, recently
said in a public address:
Il will relate to you the result of OBJ
scrvations mado during a recent visit
to the office of an eminent electrician.
The light was that known as incandes-
cent-a filament of carbon raised to q
light-emitting heat in vacuo. The ex-
clusion of the air is necessary to pre-
vent the otherwise rapid destruction of
the carbon by combination with oxy-
gen. At the time of my visit there
were 62 lamps in circuit According
to their statement, each lamp was of
16-candle power-I accept their state
ment as correct; this will give us an
aggregate of 992 candles. The gener-
ator was vitalized by an engine rated
by the attendants in charge at six-horse
power. found that it was SKI cylin-
der, working with very little expansion
43O revolutions per minute, with nine
ty pounds of live steam, in boiler not
Is feet from the engine. have every
reason to believe that the steam was de-
livered at the cylinder with an almost
inappreciable loss of ninety pounds.
Under those conditions I think it is per-
fectly fair to assume (you have the da-
tn so that you can calculate it after
ward) that 100000 foot pounds were
consumed in producing those sixty
lights. aggregating 992 candles. In
the kind of engine they had, ESQ, 900
feet pounds requires consumption of
about one hundred pounds of coal per
hour. 1t was an ordinary high-speed
engine. That 10000 foot pounds,
assume, required hundred pounds of
coal. That is tho only weak point in
my data; do not know that to be true;
but never saw an engine of that form
yet capable of delivering one horse
power with less consumption than four
to five pounds of coal per horse power
per hour. want to be as fair as can
in the matter. wish to compare this,
as they have taken particular pains to
compare it, with gas, at the present
cost of gas.
1.-The hundred pounds of coal will
produce 400 feet of gas; 400 feet of
gas will evolve the effect of 1900 can
dies. So you see the position we are
in. In consuming that coal directly by
destructive distillation, you can produce
1900 candles light; by converting it
into power, and then again into light
by incandescence, you produce 992!
Expressing this in other words, we may
say that In producing the. light from
coal by the incandescent system you
lose one-third of the power as compared
with gas. by actually converting the
coal into gas and delivering it in the
ordinary manner. Those are facts. It
has been suggested to me that am too
liberal in my estimate of coal con-
sumed-that those engines use more
than four or five pounds per horse
power, but prefer to give them the
benefit of the doubt"

Ayers Cathartic Pills


tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
ana makes them. pleasant to take; while
6emg purely vegetable, no harm can arise
rom their use in any quantity.

fact, somewhat depressing, that the Molly
Mcguire organization is still in existence,
Notwithstanding many convictions and ex-
ecutions; and that human life is still very
unsafe in those unhappy regions. Healy
was killed, we may say, for almost moth
ing. He was opposed to the sale of ardent
spirits at Dunbar. One Mcfarland en-
deavored to renew his license from the
County Commissioners to sell liquors. and
was opposed by Healy on the ground that
drinking places were a constant source of
trouble in the mines. But from the day
upon which he opposed the issuing of the
license he was doomed That man
should be murdered upon such insight
cant prOvocations proves how cheap
human life has become in the mining
regions, and what triaes may put it in
danger. 1t is as unsafe there as it would
be in the most barbarous country in the
world. These Molly Maguires do not ap-
pear morally to be one whit above the
Thugs of India. as they are usually de-
scribed.
The more the murder of Jennie Cramer
is inquired into at New Haven the strOn-
ger is the impression that the Malley boys
are the guilty parties. Just what the mo-
tive was for causing her death is not at all
evident but clearly there was as strong
o motive for murder as for suicide. The
girl evidently was harshly treated at the
last, and murder was the more natural
sequence Of certain acts than suicide. If
it shall prove that after a period of wrong
to the girl the affair was ended by murder,
public opinion will strongly demand the
full application of the law to the murder
ers. The form of crime limited at in all
| this affair is one that cannot be too severely
condemned. 1t is that of enticing young
and thoughtless girls from home, betray'
| ing them, and then, if necessary, resort
! ing to murder to hide lesser crimes. This
is the real issue. And the Malley boys
with wealth at command, appear to have
been depraved and reckless. Jennie was
very beautiful, and the people with whom
she, as the daughter of a cigar-maker il
moderate circumstances, naturally assO
ciated, were proud of her. She was some
what vain, and arsenic assisted her com
plexion. People who had more none!
than her father had fattered her becaus
she was beautiful. She had that freedom
which girls of the middle class in Americ
too frequently have. A girl cannot alway
take care of herself, and where she is lei
to that idea she will become contaminated
slightly or cruelty, as the case may be
Jennie was out ut night.

An alarm is sounded that Fever and Ague

distressing complaints are becoming every

hitherto unacquainted with them. Whatever
form the malady may assume, the origin is the
same 1t is an infection from decayed and
decaying vegetation, arising from swamps and
marshy places, or from g soil disturbed by

THE PREsIDENT.-The critical condition
and deep anxiety in regard to President
Garfield of week ago, still continues.
His life is hanging in the balance, and the
confidence of a few weeks ago has settled
down into doubt. However, that "one
chance in a hundred he seems to be
taking. and the President still lives"
There is hope in this tenacity of life. The
swelling of the parotid gland is now ad-
mitted to indicate a mild form of blood
poisoning and is a subject of much annoy
nnce to the doctors. The great imped1-
ment of the latter however, is the Presl-
dents weak stomach and great prostratlon,
they have so little to work on. The
President was able to swallow and retain
twenty ounces of liquid nourishment
Yesterday. and he suffered but little from
mucuous secretions in the throat. Other
wise there was no improvement. Secre-
tary Blaine in q dispatch to Minister
Lowell says that he is "weak, exhausted
and emaciated, not weighing over 125 or
100 pounds" His weight when wounded
was from 2O5 to 21O pounds. His failure
to gain strength is the one feature which
nives special uneasiness and apprehen'
sion.' The report to-day indicates that
he is able to take more nourishment with
svmtoms otherwise about the same.
