'"The Demon of Cawnpore, :" by Jules Verne (translated by A. D. Kingston), is the first part of a new work called "The Steam House." A party of European gentlemen travel through India in couple of richly furnished houses upon wheels drawn by a traction engine in the shape of an elephant. The story of this journey abounds in descrip- tions of places and scenery, with important historical facts connected with the places passed through, especial reference being had to the terrible events of the Sepoy mutiny in 1857. The time is several years after the mutiny, when reward is offered for the head of Mana Sahib, the demon of Cawnpore, one of the leaders of the revolt and who is the chief character of the story. The interest centres in the fact that one of the travellers in the steam Behemoth has devoted years to the pursuit of the Mana to avenge his wife, who is believed to have been murdered by the latter's orders, and steadily refuses to believe the reports of Mana Sahib's death, spread about by himself to put his enemies off their guard and enable him to perfect without interference his schemes for another revolt. The movement of the story is rapid, the plot interesting and the style clear and attractive. The illustrations are numerous and graphic. Published by Charles Scrib ner's Sons, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

primitive. The music in New York was su- perior to that in Boston. In Philadelphia
 they had "Johnson's band"-colored men
 who made themselves rather obtrusive by joining in the music with their voices. It
 seemed to me good dancing music, however.
 Assemblies (subscription halls) were intro duced several years later, when we had a de- hghtful band, and the musicians were much less prominent
 All these fashions were much the same in the three cities, but there was difference. Boston was more simple, the society formed or people whose parents and grand parents had known one another, and with few strangers, the inhabitants calling one another by the Christian name, and having general knowledge of one another's affairs This peculiarity was strongly brought to mind by some English friends who dined with us, and with whom, after dinner, we drove out to party at Cambridge. The gentleman-a colonel in the English army-was driven out by my brother, and they arrived before us. When our carriage drove up they came to the door, and the lady (the colonel's sister) said ''Wllliam, who is here ?" To which he answered, amid general merriment: Sarah, John, Jane, Susan. That's all I know" New York was much more metro politan; more strangers congregated there; there was much more display, more extrava- gance of dress, more and finer equipages, and more private and public entertainments. Philadelphia was more given to amusement than either city but there was not the same display or extravaganza of dress in New York. There was, however, 6 very "fast' set of both men and women.

 One of the mort sensational bank scandals
 of modern times has just been brought to light in Vladiskavkas, Russia. According to
 the Cologne Gazette, the directors of the
 Vladiskavkas bank, twelve in number among them the mayor of the town-have during the past five years succeeded in ap- propriating Chat is stealing) deposits to the amount of over 1, 100, 900 roubles, (about
 $825, ,OOO) nearly half of which sum has found it's way into the pockets of the broth ors o. anu O. DOSlduou, IespecbANoIy AIdn- ager of the bank and Burgomaster of Vladis- kavkas. This colossal robbery was discov- cred a short time ago by the Imperial Revis- ing committee lately charged by the Ministry of Finance with the investigation of certain long-suspected irregularities in the admins tration of financial institutions in the Provinces. As is too frequently the case in Russia, strenuous efforts have been made, apparently with success, to prevent the pub lie exposure and punishment of the infiuen- tial personages chiefly implicated in the gi- gantic frauds practiced upon the depositors. At the instance of the Vladiskavkas Duma, or l Commune, prompted by it's chief official, G. | Bogdanoff, the Russian Senate has suppressed ! the report of the revising committee and it ! would appear that the actual criminals, al- | though they have seen fit to resign their | directorships in the plundered bank, have, without difficulty, obtained nomination to other important posts in the local admins tration. For instance, the former bank man ager, J. Bogdanoff is now a member of the | Discount committee. The accuracy of these surprising revelations, incredible as they seem, is formally guaranteed by the Cologne Gazette, which concludes it's narrative of the sGreat Vladiskavkas Scandar' with the curt, but emphatic sentence, ''These are facts !"

Society Half a Century Ago.

From 1928 to 1882 was much in the so- ciety of Boston, New York and Philadelphia Society was smaller, more simple, less ex- travagant than at present. The hours for dining were 2 and half-past 2 o'clock, and for dinner parties as late as o'clock There were, therefore, no elaborate lunch parties The dishes-and often very sub stantial ones-were carved at the table by the host; there was no dining 0 l0 Russo. The dinners were luxurious, including expensive wines-M Madeira, sherry and port chiefly and elaborate desserts, with polished tables of handsome fruit and glass; At tea par ties, the tea and cakes were handed on trays Later in the evening, apples, nuts, figs and grapes were considered an appropriate entertainment for few friends, blanc-mange, fruit-creams, custards and pre- serves. When dancing party was given, there was an appropriate supper 1n supper room. Balls began at eight, and rarely last ed after twelve o'clock, and were not, as now, of nightly occurrence. A ball was not matter of course, but an occasion, and sometimes 8 great occasion, two houses being thrown into one. Waltz ing was rather frowned upon, but there was small set who faced the opprobrium for the pleasure of the waltz, and groups gathered around the ring of dancers It may be well called ring" for we spun round and round without any ''reverse j" we must have had very steady heads. Cotillons and costrG- daaases were usual, and sometimes Virginia reel, and dance called the Spanish dance, :" where the partners stood opposite, as in the co1ltrd-dGnsse, and the men knelt from time to time while the women waltzed around them in figures It gave rise to some amusement in making knee-cushions. The galop was introduced about this time The polka came later.
 Dancing meant dancing in those days. We took steps, and prided ourselves upon the skill and grace of the performance, and had an admiring circle The music was very small affair.s As look back and remember the three or four musicians-sometime only one. and, when more than one, the leader standing on foot-stool of some kind and often calling out the fgures-it seems very

The Pennsylvania railroad has been mak- ing long and elaborate inquiry into the du- ration of steel rails, and it is found that soft steel rails wear away less than hard steel rails. This is because the little particles which rise on the surface of a steel rail break off under the wheels when the rail is hard and hammer down if it is soft.

The Detroit Post publishes figures to show that there have been fewer arrests for drunk enness and crimes growing out of liquor drinking and street drunkenness in that city during five years past under the license law than there were during the preceding five years under stringent prohibitory law, and this in spite of the fact that the population of the city has increased 40, 900 in the mean time.

 The coffee house movement started 8 year ago in New York appears to be meeting the same gratifying success as in the English cities and towns. The work is managed by an incorporated company with capital of $30,O00 and of which J. W. Drexel is the, president. About $15, ,oOo has been spent in the enterprise, 1000 of which has gone for the purchase of furniture, ranges, cooking utensils etc. Quite a number of coffee houses have been started and more will be established as soon as good sites and superin- tendents can be secured. The company se- Iects only corner stores where the competi- tion with the grog- shops will be the sharpest. If several rummeries are near by, SO much the better. Each coffee house keeps its own accounts, but the buying is done at wholesale by one man. The work has recently been extended to the peddling of hot coffee in the early morning in the tenement houses, and promises well, and the company is consider ing the project of selling soups and other cooked food to be carried home.

The invidious criticism which

Perkins for his sale of the interest
OF his firm 10 the Pacific Coast

Willard Is, it seems to us, uncalled
for. II the Governor had been as
punctilious in matters public and
political as he has proved himself
to be in his private business trans.
actions, he would not have been
obliged to witness a decided cur
tailment of his popularity. He
has acted in q manly and delicate
way to his fellow stockholders, and
has thoroughly protected their in
terests in his negotiations with
Mr.. Willard. The assumption that
Governor Perkins, or any other
man, is obliged to forego an ad-
vantageous sale of his property out
Of an abstract regard for the pub
lie is highly ridiculous one. He
went into the steamship business
to make money, and If he makes
more money by getting out of 1t
that Is exclusively his concern.
We are all looking around for the
generous and whole-souled indi-
vidual who goes into the transport
tation business through pure be-
nevolence, but he has not yet
shown his face on this side Of the
Rocky Mountains, and we do not
hear OF his class being very numer-
GUS in the Eastern States, either. To
attempt to invest the Governors
relations with stock which is
being dealt in every day in the
stock exchanges with q fiduciary
character shows a good deal of i'm.
pudence and very little judgment.
As far as the disinterested public
can see, Gov. Perkins's attitude In
this purely business proposition lie,
II 1t calls for any remark at all,
quite creditable to him.
