HOUSE DECORATION.
The Present Rage for Carved Wood and
Hammered Metal.
Neu York Times.

heD IoFk WaS
Wood carving and hammered metal now
perform conspicous part In interior decora-
ton. In the elegant mansions of the rich .
great deal of wood carving Is introduced.
The dining room of Cornelius Vanderbit's
new house will have q series IF very elabor-
ate aud beautiful panels of mahogany, in
of-pearl and verd antique, and ornamented
with figures In hammered metal. Massive
wainscoatings aud doors, richly carved, are
considered necessary features In almost all
interior woodwork the natural woods. pol
ished or carved, have totally supplanted the
old fashioned specimens Of porcelain finish
and imitation granting. Nothing so we'll
ity, and this desirable feature is readily Sc
cured by the use of carved woods and leath-
er. In drawing rooms and sleeping apart
ments some very elegant effects are pro-
les In silver and gold cloth, velvets, silks
and different colored pushes are used quite
extensively. and there are many who will
have nothing whatever on the walls of all
apartment except embroidered drap-ries.
There Is an establishment on Fourteenth
street devoted exclusively to embroderies Of
this character. In the furnishing of houses
which are decorated artistically, care IS usu-
ally taken to have the principal articles Of
furniture made expressly to correspond with
the plan of the decorations.

Fancy Runs Into Folly In the Matter OF
Cards and Note Paper.

". i. express.
On the upper left-hand corners OF softly
tinted correspondence cards and sheets Of
note paper, the series Of ludicrous figures are
introduced In colors, with sunflowers and all
complete, aud with corresponding quota
tons, such as, sin rapt ecstacy way" "you
hold yourself like this" "consummately
UTTER" etc. Unconnected with literary Sc
lections are presented besides a brilliant
multitude Of art designs, usually appearing
In relief and with the richest colors and me-
talic lustres. Little brown birds are posed
on telegraph poles and wires, the design not
being duplicated in the same sci, but Oh an
other sheet may appear, perhaps, flight Of
birds in blue and gold. Chandelier may
elsewhere salute the rising sun, while the
bat fits duskily across the ivory-tinted leaf
illuminated by the silvery moon shining in
the sky above. The stork is presented in all
positions and In various coors, but frequent
ly In silver and bronze or In blue and gold.
There are butterflies innumerable. and gauzy-
winged beetles and shining fishes, and the
serpent coils himself on the dainty page with
green and met allie reflections shining from
his scales.
Scorpions and adders are not wanting, to
be perhaps preserved for the singing mes
sages between spirits in i'll accord. A cream
tinted paper may be adorned by small clus-
ter Of autumn leaves or by a golden ear Of
corn. The owl Is favorite Is this repre-
sentation, either perched on n sere bough or
seen under blue umbrella, and accompa-
MED by the motto, Nous verrons;' yet quite
as frequently the design may be that of the
head alone of this bird.

Winter fishing deserves brief notice. II
Is carried on only throughthe ice it is almost
confined to the frozen inlets Of the south
shore of the Georgian bay to Burlington bay
and the Bay of Quinte. In winter pas
senger on the Great Western railway will
notice on the ice near Oakville and on Bur-
lngton bay large number of small wooden
houses, about four feet square and just high
enough to allow of q man standing upright.
These houses have no windows. Under
each Of these square boxes Is q hole cut
through the ice. This hole the fisherman
sits and watches with all the eagerness dis
played by Polar bear watching a seal hole.
1t Is cold operation, but sometimes pot
suspended above the ice and cont aiming a
fire affords a little warmth. The fishing
through this hole Is done either with hooks
or fork-like spears. On the Georgian bay
inlets the Indians and half-breeds are the
fshermen-not white men. The mode Is
primitive. The little houses are not used,
hut the Indian, crouching down on the ice,
covers his head and the hole with blanket,
so as to exclude as much IS possible any
light, excepting that which comes through
the Ice. The amusement is q grim one, and
brings but little return to "poor Lo."
Sometimes, however, q small wigwam Is
pitched over the hole, and a little more
comfort is enjoyed by the lonely fisherman.

A Rather Cold Day for Magic.


Everybody has read the marvellous stories
OF travelling magicians mystifying the people
by exhibiting their skill In public places.
Yesterday Baron Seeman was riding on
California street dummy, and taking In his
fellow passengers with the usual blandly I'M
conscious ey. Of the prestidigitatenr, when
he suddenly turned and said to rough
looking young man on the same side:
aPardon, my friend, but you viii lose
your watch-thc chain Is hanging"
s.Haln't got nc WATCH" growled the youth.
aExcnse me, but you are mistaken. Look
therel"
The hoodlum, who unfortunately bad been
at The theatre the evening before and who
had just recognized the msgiclan's face, took
hold Of the chain, pulled the watch ont OF
Ills pocket, stared u Il moment, and then
said:
.Why, to be snre; how id careless Of
me! 'Blieed TO ron, Baron" and stepping
brIskly from the dummy ran up neighbor-
ing alley, leaving The Baron staring afler BIZ
stem vinder with paraiyzsd expression.

Lost Words.

1t is correctly stated in recent article on
Henry Clay that he never was at loss for a
word or "boggled while speaking, but that
his drafts on the Kings English were never
dishonored. With Mr.. Webster it was differ.
ent, and he often would hesitate and then
rub his nose with the bent knuckle of his
right thumb. Mr.. Calhoun, when at loss
for word, would give a petulant twist at
his large turned-over shirt collar, and then
run his bony fingers through his long gray
hair until 1t stood up like the hair on an
electric toy. Mr.. Benton would sink his
voice and humble something that no one
could understand, and General Cass would
saw! aw !" In the English style, passing his
hand beneath the lower edge OF his capacious
white waistcoat. Mr.. Webster was almost
invariably "stuck" when he attempted to
use Latin quotation, and when Mr.. Everett
was in the Senate he used invariably to ap-
peal to him.

The Staked Plains.
". Y. Mail Express.

The building Of the Texas Pacific road
has developed at least one important fact.
The Llano Estacado has been supposed TO be
q treeless, waterless desert. As matter Of
fact, there Is In all its extent no running
water, but the railroad engineers found wa
ter ut depth Of forty feet In the first well
they sunk, and reached the same result with
every succeeding well.
The country seems to be honeycombed
with subierranean water courses, encounter
ed at depth varying from thirty TO fifty feet.
The water Is soft and clear aud the wells
have given no signs Of failure during the
past season.
The supposed desert turns out to be the
best watered division on the road. 1t is
rich prairie soil bearing q luxnriant growth
Of grass. Where the graders camped and
corn aud oats were spilled IL was found thai
they took root and grew thrirtily. General
Dodge says that this region Is capable Of be-
coming the granary OF the southwest and
that Its elevation of from two 70 three thou
sand feet above the sea level will probably
make wheat culture exceptionally success
full.

More quarrels arise between brothers, be-
tween sisters, between hired girls, between
school girls, between clerks In stores, be-
tween hired men, between husbands and
wives, owing to electrical changes through
their systems by lodging together night after
night under the same bed-clothes, than by
any other disturbing cause. There Is moth

What Mrs. Garfield Regrets.

When Mrs. Garfield returned to Washing
ton from Elberon. after the death, she told
an intimate friend that there was one thing
more than any other which she regretted
about the Presidents illness, and that was
never allowing the President to think that
he was IN any great danger Of death. Many
times, she said, she wanted to talk to him
about matters that 1t was OF the greatest inn
portance they should talk about In case Of
hls death, but the doctors would not allow
her to do 20. Often the President would
speak Of dying, but those around him imms-
diately stopped him, and would urge him not
to lose courage. Up to the hour Of bis death
the President was fed with the hope that he
would recover.

When a great man dies, be he writer or
painter, statesman or scientific writer, we
are apt rather to over than underrate his
achievements, seeking, perhaps, to atone for
long continued neglect by too tardy justice.
But the man who dies after a long life of
work In which he has just failed to be great
whose success has always been Of that kind
which gains ready appreciation within the
little circle Of friends to whom it Is known,
but which never touches the world at large
whose genius, in fact, has shown itself In
pleasing greatly few rather than touching
the hearts or affecting the lives of the many
this mai 10 apt, think, to obtain but
scanty justice, directly his powers of pleasing
have ceased. And this Is, Of course, more
certainly the case If he be one whose talents
have been somewhat archaic, and If he has
never cared to adapt them to the public
measure Of the useful, the beautiful or the
true.

SAYS Holden's Bird Magazine: All birds
At this season requires extra food. Canaries
should have all through the year German
summer rape, Sicily canary and millet seeds
mixed i'm equal parts, and care should be
taken to have the seeds of the best quality.
In addition to the seeds, feed canaries daily
one-fourth part of a hard-boiled egg, both
yolk and white, and mix IL with as much
cracker dust Is can be taken up on ten-cent
piece. Fresh water, both for drinking and
for the bath, and plenty Of coarse, washed
gravel daily will usually keep bird IN
health. Twice . week give piece Of sweet
apple or lettuce. If the bird has not yet fin
ished molting, keep him in an even tempera-
ture of sixty-five or seventy degrees. aud let
him hang where there Is no possibility Of .
draft blowing on him. If not yet In song,
hang half-inch strip of raw, fat, salt pork
in the cage, and let him peck At IL for week
or SO.

Art is Pitiless.
by MARY u. brine.

Shall tell you story of Bessie, a dear little
girtI know
A story of 'once on IL time" tho 1t wasn't 30
A bue-cy al darling was Bessie, with CLEANS of
tho sun In her hair,
And You scarcely could count the dimplcs that
played In her checks so fair.
Now licssic's mother and father had only her
self TO love,
And her presence was glad os the sunshine
that fell from the skies above.
There ne'cr was ~ care or trouble that came to
them any day
But wee little BesSy was ready to comfort tho
worry away"
1t was only poor little cottage TINT Bessie
could call her home,
But dearly she loved the meadows where daily
she used tn roam;
And II happened one day that she went there
with many u SOrrowful trace
or tears and childish amazemcnt all over the
The reasonf All, only that morning old Brin-
die, the COW had died,
And no money to buy another, and Bessie's
mamma had cried;
And Bessie had heard her father sigh, and, oh,
Something about "the bills. wife. and little
wherewith to pay"
So out in the fields went Bessie, but left her
dmples behind,
And guess that even the brides knew some
thing was Oh her mind,
For she quietly gathered her flowers, nor oven
lifted her eyes
Till voice said, "Heigh-ho little maidenl" and
made her start with surprise.
Twas only an artist searching the fields and
meadows that day
For some beautiful picture to sketch, and what
should come in his way
But the sweetest Of all sweet subjects, a wee
little brown-faced girl,
Her sun-bonnet hiding her bushes and many
golden curll
But Bessie was shy of the strangcr-shy and
modest was she;
Coaxtng would not persuade her. "Tu give
you money" said he.
All! then indeed she was willing, and thought
to herself. "Oh, now
I've found how to comfort poor mother, and
father can buy cow"
So down to the brook she went to him, her
checks us red as q rose,
And, all the while thinking Of father" Bessie
learned how to "posc."
Oh, but it was wearisOme duty! The little
round limbs grew weak,
And tear from the blue eyes slipped softly
and washed the rose from her check.
Yes, "Art is ritiIess," surely, for thirty long
minutes went by,
And then the Artist had finished and looked
with u smile in his eye
At his poor little tear-stained model. "Why,
CnlIi, you tircd?'' roid mo.
"l'm tired jus for myself, sir, but not for faith
cr,'' said she.
Then home sped dear, bonny Bessie, claspng
her pennies so tight,
And back 10 her checks came the dimples,
back to her eyes their glad light.
"Oh, father I'm put III u picture! ), what I've
brought 10 you now!

What a Gentleman Is!

1.-THE essential characteristics Of
gentleman" says MIR. Mathews, ''are
not an outward varnish or veneer, but
inward qualities, developed in the
heart"
The drover was gentleman at heart,
and in speech also. of whom this anec-
dote is told. He was driving cattle to
market one day when the snow was
deep, save on the highway. The drove
compelled lady to turn out of the road
and tread in the deep snow. -
MADAM" said the drover, taking off
his hat, '.if the cattle knew as well as l
what they should do. you would not
walk in the snow"
Charles Lamb tells a story of JOSEPH
Price, a London merchant who rever-
enced womanhood in every form in
which it came before him.
81 have seen him." writes the genial
essayist, "stand bareheadcd (smile, if
you please to a servant girl while she
has been inquiring of him the way to
some street. i'm such a posture OF un-
forced civility as neither to embarrass
her in the acceptance nor himself in the
offer of it.
81 have seen him, he continues,
''tenderly escort amarket-woman whom
he had encountered in a shower, exalt-
ing his umbrella over her poor basket of
fruit that it might receive no damage,
with rs much carefulness as if she had
been countess"
These anecdotes show what genuine
politeness is. 1t is kindly spirit which
expresses itself kindly to all. Of one
who possesses it the remark is never
made, HE can be gentleman when he
pleascs." AS Mr.. Matthews says-and
we wish boys to memorize the saying
'.He who can be gentleman when he
pleases, never pleases to be anything
else"

Mr.. stsphsn'a Remarkable Memory

A instance of Mr.. Stephens extraordi-
nary recollections of men occurred re-
Gently. MIR. H. X. Stanforn, of Harris
county, called on him at the Rankin
house, and asked if he was remembered.
Mr.. Stephens told him that he could not
call his name, but that his face was well
remembered; that he was at his house
in 1848, while he lived in one of the
central counties, and told what public
issue he was then discussing before the
public and went somewhat into the de-
tails of the occasion, all of which was
infinitely correct. This, after so long q
period, and a life spent among thou.
sands of men, and covering period Of
the most stirring events of the country,
we think quite neutrality-suspicious.

last Marquis of Chambery. In the same
town the Count and Countess of St.
