C0MST0CK'S CALENDER.


The ''Heptameron'' Of Queen Margaret Decided
TO be Classic
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Dayton & Knox
booksellers of Asbury Park, N j. were
recently arrested for selling a copy OF
of the "Heptameron," by Margaret,
queen of Navarro. The town anthori-
ties held that the French classic was an
improper publication. The booksellers
were held ms 500 bail, and few weeks
ago were indicted by the grand jury.
The trial occupied the whole of Tuesday
and Wednesday. Mr. Bradley, mayor
of Asbury Park. testified that he had
read two or three passages in the vol
umne, and felt SO ashamed that he threw
it down in disgust. The prosecution
wished to read passages from the book
to the jury, but the Judge ruled that il
fragments We're to be read the whole
book must be read. The defendants
claimed that the book was recognized as
legitimate by literary people and in the
trade of booksellers, A lot of catalogues
were produced to show the standing of
the work as classic, and number OF
booksellers testified that the book was
in every complete library, public or
private. The defendants were found not
guilty.

SHEPPARD'S SCHEME.
Decided Success as Plan for Furnishing Merri
ment hpt Eiasco Otherwise.

mcnt nut a fIaSc0 UtherWise.
WAsnIN SToN, Feb. 1.-THE publica-
ton here of the list of names of prom
inent men in connection with Shepherd
Peruvian Company scheme affords a
subject more of merriment than any
thing else, even to those whose names
are in the list. 1t appears that the
names were used proniscuously without
any authority whatever from owners of
those names. Congressman Hewitt, of
New York, says he received circular
marked confidential, and that it in
formed him the circular would be called
for; that he put it in his desk without Civ
ing it any consideration, and subse-
quently somebody did call for it. He
not only never consented to the use of
his name, but never took any notice of
this circular. The same state of facts
applies to other names,used. Shepherd
seems to have pursued Guiteau' plan of
claiming acquaintance and association
of public men. If he knew their names
or address. that was enough. 1t is al
ready apparent that no serious conse-
quences are involved. He sent circulars
to parties, and, without waiting to hear
from them, entered their names as assoc
ciates of his in his chimerical scheme.
One amusing incident connected with
the publication of these names, is that
Representative Belmont offered the re-
solution calling for the submission of
the list to the House. and among the
names presented is that of his father.
August Belmont.

is that Of the "cloture. answering in

WASHINGTON, FEB. 17.-President
Arthur gave a state dinner tonight to
the members of the diplomatic corps
and their wives, to which no one else
except the secretary of state and wife
was invited. The east room was hand
somely decorated with the choicest exc
tics from the government gardens, and
here the guests were received before
entering the state dining room This
had also been carefully attended to by
floral artists, and it was the general inn
preston that it had never looked pref
tier or been more tastefully arranged.
This was the first dinner given in the
room since the one to the same body,
presided over by the late President Gar

EmblemS of Mourning.

81 trust that black will not always
remain an emblem of mourning in this
country" said a dealer in mourning
goods, who is a scholar as we'll as a mer-
chant. at is not suitable emblem,
but it implies an absence of light and a
want of life which we certainly do not
wish to convey as our conception of the
state our of departed friends Mourning
is supposed to be the outward visible
sign of inward grief. The notion of a
change, however, would not readily be
received, for when one has to put on the
habiliments of woe grief is too strong to
be overcome by fashion"
What other colors are used in
mourning ?"
''In Italy women grieve in white gar
ments and men i'll brown. In China
white is worn by both sexes. In Tr-
key, Syria, Cappadocia and Armenia,
celestial blue is the tint chosen in
Egypt yellowish brown, the hue Of the
dead leaf, is deemed proper, and in
Ethiopia, where men are black, gray is
the emblem of mourning All Of these
colors are symbols. White symboIizes
purity, an attribute of our dead the
celestial blue that place of rest where
happy souls are at peace the yellow, or
dead leaf, tells that death is the end Of
all human hope, and that man falls as
the autumn leaf and gray whispers of
the grave to which all return. The
Lycians considered mourning for the
dead an effeminate practice, and SO
when they grieved they put on womens
clothes as a symbol of weakness and as
a shame to them for lack of manli-
ness. The Thracians made feast when
one Of their loved ones died, and every
method of joy and delight were en-
ployed. This meant that the dead had
passed from state of misery into one
of never-ending felicity Black was in
troduced as mourning by the Queen of
Charles VIII. Before that the French
Queens wore white mourning, and were
known as the White Queens. "-New
