The "new departure in fur.
nishing, combined with luxury, is
seen TO every possible advantage
in the house of ID. o. Mills. The
library, paneled in carved nahog-
any to the freize, is a superb room
which has cost $4,000. The chin.
ney piece is much accentuated, as
in all internal decoration. 1t is in
three compartments, adorned with
shelves, and vases and clocks and
plates, and the fireplace is filed
with fine brass and tiles; mirrors
are set in the framework of the
chimney piece. A fine bow win
dow, hung with gold.embroidered
muslin, and also shaded with
heavy plush curtains, commands
the ever-varying panorama of Fifth
ayenne. Large library tables and
superb lounges and chairs covered
with eastern stuffs give this room
the easy and inhabited look which
its splendor might efface.
The grand salon of this superb
house is in the white and gold and
carved work of the days of Napo-
leon l. The chimney piece, with
its little Cornthian pillars aud
capitals, heavily gilt, recalls that
picture of the great Emperor nur.
sing on his knee the sleeping King
of Rome, as he looks on a map of
the world that he has recently
conquered. The ceiling of this
generous room is Venetian, in the
style Of the famous one in the
Doge's palace.
Stones of deep rcd color, like
glowing carbunclcs, are let into
the gilded wood work, and Limo
ges enamels ornament the walls.
The chairs are white and gilt, oi
the "Empire shapes, covered
with most exquisite pale satins
embroidered with here and there
rose, which looks as IL Flora ha,
just flung it down, and again will
patterns in gold embroidery; al
the colors are delicate and refined
The boudoir or first drawing roor
is hung in velvet of most delicat
crimson, embroidered where

ors, to initiate precious stones

! dark. The hangings are of erin
: son velvet-not high but n pal
crimson-and the ceiling is frc
, coed with the colors Of Sprin
, flowers. Fine paintings ornamer
the walls.
The chief charm of this interi,
is that in spite of its magnificent

ably drawn, books, photograph
and cngravings lie around on II

4 "Contract +" 500 Tears AsO.


land jurist, says:
When parties TO a sale or any
contract desired to have it record
ed they would repair to a justice
of the peace, or "magistrate,' rs
he was then called, aud would in
form him of their transactions,
with all the necessary details,
whereupon the magistrate with the
parties to the contract would walk
to the public square, "impaneling"
as they went thither any man whom
they might select until they had
twelve; these men in turn would
impanel twelve boys of the ages
between IL and Is years, and thus
a panel of twenty-four witnesses
was secured. This, undoubtedly,
sometimes took a good while on
account of certain restrictions and
other difficulties; for instance,
men who saw the procession ap
preaching would purposely walk
ont of its way, while the boys no
more than they would nowadays
liked to be disturbed while at play.
Besides, there was this restriction
that one could be witness to u
contract only thrice a year.
Now, having the panel of wit
ncsses completed, they would form
a circle around the magistrate and
the parties to the transaction, the
circle being SO regulated that a
boy always stood between two
men, each man taking hold of
the next boys ear, which served
the double purpose of making the
youth pay attention to what was
going to be said, as well as pre-.
venting him from skipping" All
this being found in readiness, the
Justice proceeded to repeat from
memory what his clients had told
him, asking their approval at every
distinct condition of the contract
Upon the nod of assent each adul,
witness would give a little twist tc
his boys ear and say: "Do you
hear, Bob?n This, of course, was
done to aid the boys memory
Having thus gone through all thu
provisions of the transaction, tn,
magistrate would say: "In wit
ness whereof, l break this stick il
two Tor more as the case might be-
and give to each of the parties t
this contract the respective parts

How TrsnPs Get Peeled.


lArkansaw Traveller.
A tramp printer while passing a
drugstore heard a gentleman re-
mark to the druggist that he was
the exact picture of Charles Dick
ems. The printer saw at a glance
that the druggist was flattered,
aud Immediately settled upon a
plan by which he would be reliey-
ed of the painful necessity OF
striking the.bartender." Pretty
soon the printer returned and step
ping into the drug store said to the
proprietor.
Excuse me, sir, for addressing
you, butin passing your house
could not help but notice a strik-
ing resemblance between you and
the late and famous Charles Dick.

your face in a moment turned upon
me a flood of recollection in rela-
ton to the great novelist
"Won't you he seated ~ asked
the druggist.

The printer secured the whisky
aud when he reached the rancho,

maker, he related his experience,
when they all agreed that a ricl
mine had been discovered. Fol

Cath on the New York Campaign.
[Cincinnati Enanirer.l


COnkling looks fierce as a baffied
hyena. He had expected to make |
use of the present campaign to
return to the Senate, but he finds
that his opportunities to trade ma
chine votes for city offices in order
to elect Conkling Assemblymen
are broken up. He has the mel
ancholy reflection that he broke
up the trade himself in order to
obIige Jim Bennett, who wanted
to spite John Kelly. Having bro
ken up the system of trading for
that year, Kelly went of in huff
and declined to trade any more,
and Mr.. Conkling viii probably
stay at home for the rest of his
life.
l had a conversation yesterday
of a very remarkable character
with a prominent Federal Office
holder, who does not run with the
Stalwart faction, but desires to
see Folger elected-probably be-
cause he thinks that the loss of
New York State this year will
bring on a Democratic President
two years hence and rout him from
his position. While do not vouch
either for the accuracy of what he
says, nor certify that | correctly
remember the whole conversation,
1 will try to give it literally, altho'
there may be some minor points
in his revelation which / am i'll.
informed upon.
Said L: "What is the outlook
for the State ticket ~
"WlE," said he, sunless some-
thing is done by President Arthur
to check this eruption into Cleve-
lands forces, Judge Folger will be
beaten by 10000 votes. You can
get plenty of bets even that he
will be beaten by &c, 900 and 10000
now."
"What is to produce check ="
at may be done by President
Arthur himself. He must announce
that he has thrown Conkling over
board.'
:" But he cannot announce that
when he continues to carry him.
"Well, hear that they have
broken. | hear that Arthur says
he has paid his debt of gratitude
to Conkling long ago."
"Who says it,"
81 will tell you, confidentially,'
said my friend. at was Pierre
Van Wyck, gentleman, and the
best of Arthur's intimate acquain
tances. He does not like Conk
ling, and he has long wanted to see
Arthur throw him overheard. lie
says that the President now sees
his great mistake in not letting
him slide as soon as he took the
Office.r
ais there any other authority y
"Well, Mr.. Arthur told George
Jones soon after he went into tho
Presidency that he had more thar
honored all the drafts of gratitude
on him by Conkling, and was done
But Jones did not believe Arthur
Hence the New York Times hal
never come out warmly for thu
Administrations"
After few moments reelection
this gentleman said: al will giv'
you a bit of conversation that tool
place inside of the Republican
State Committee rooms within /,
very few hours. A man went il
there to see Smythe, who appeared
: to be wool gathered and dazed b.

UNION PARK.
A Beautiful summer eIeasure Resort.

A Beautiful Summer Fleagure ksesor1'
There is no pleasure resort SO easy OF ac-
cess, and so well calculated to answer tho
purpose for which it is designed, as Union
park, situated half way between the two cities
of St. Paul and Minneapolis. It is park IN
reality, comprising thirty-three acres OF land
and only four and one-hah miles from the
court house OF each of the two cities, either
by rail or wagon road. 1t has been adorned
BY private enterprise, by the erection of a
grand stand in its center 60X150 feet; an OBJ
servatory so feet high, giving view over
many miles of lancscape; band stand, four
bowling alleys, six reiresnment stands, an ice
house, sheds for 800 horses, two wind mills
for raising water, and last, but not least, a
lookup for unruly and improper characters.
gala days it is the Mecca towards
which thousands turn their faces for
a respite when they wish to drive
dull care away and enjoy good time. The
other permanent attraction in the way OF
tame animals, birds, etc, need not be men
tioaed. The park alone is well worth visit,
and the small expense to reach there; but We
started out 10 call attention to the fact that
unusual attractions will be offered to-day
Sunday for all who wish to enjoy an exhibi.
tion of athletic sports. In addition to the
natural attraction Of the park. the celebrated
Muldoon Whistler combination will give an
exhibition of their skill in manly arts that in
ancient times drew the attention and presence
of the then civilized portion of the world.
This exhibition viii be given in the grand
arena of the park, which is surrounded by a
natural amphitheatre capable of affording a
good point of view to twenty thousand
persons. These exhibitions will consist of
wrestling, boxing, heavy weight practice,
exhibitions upop the turning bars, foot
racing, ETC., etc. The Great Western band
will furnish the music for the occasion and
every arrangement has been made for good
order and the pleasure Of those who at
tend. The trains run every hour, and you
can come and so at your pleasure, at triflin 6
