Oscar Wilde Sees Himself Carieatured
on the New York stage.
NV YoRK, january Oscar Wilde,
the Gsthete, sometimes called the English
'asthete, " attended the Standard Theater
last night, where Patience" the comic
opera supposed to burlesque his theories,
was given. He came late with friends, and
occupied the lower box on the left hand
Side Of the house. He was dressed in a fur.
trimmed ulster, and had an immense red
silk handkerchief thrust In his bosom. His
long hair hung down his back, and he look.
ed quite too awiully utter. He entered the
box lust before "Bnnthorne," the caricaturo
Of Wilde,made disappearance. When Bun.
thorne walked on the stage with his affect.
ed stride, Wilde said to Miss Gabrielle
Greeley who was one Of the party In the
box; THAT Is the homage which medic.
Gritty pays to that which is non.medioCre.n
Alter the play Wilde went back to the flies
and was introduced to the actors. Reilly,
who plays Bunthorne, stayed In his dress.
Ing room, for he Is to dine with Wilde
tomorrow. The audience was very large
last night in the theatre, but there was no
demonstration, as there was in London
when Wilde went to see Patience" The
actors, however, seemed to appreciate the
position and played with great spirit, The
party in the box continued comparatively
unknown except Miss Greeley and Barton
Key, who took the part Of "Grosvenor'' the
tleshy poet, when Patience" was ilrst pro.
duced in New York.

A Husband Gives His Divorced wife
Cemetery Lot.

Cemetery Lot.
MEMPHIS, January 6.-Some time in the
early part Of 1878, a woman fled bill in
chancery for divorce from her husband.
The divorce was granted in July of that
year, but was retained on the question Of
alimony. The defendant claimed that he
was too poor to give alimony, but offered
alotin Elmwood Cemetery in consideration
and full settlement for all such claims. To
this very suggestive offer the plaintiff fin
ally agreed and the decree Of divorce was
made and entered. The plaintiff married
again. Now whether it was that the debris
Of his former affection stirred up the fires
OF jealously in the defendants bosom, or
the obstinate good health OF his former
spouse made him tired, is not known. At
any Hte he went back on his bargain, and
after numberless delays finally refused to
convey the lot to her. This brought the
matter into chancery again, and today
Chancellor Mcdowell made an order di.
recting the defendant 10 make over the lot
to his former wife.

One Factory.
PIrTsBrRaH, January 6.-Since the Dia-
mond Match Company began its move
ment to control all the factories Of the
country, little has been said about it. The
Company has tsparent office at New Ha.
ven, Connecticut, and now controls every
factory in the United States, except one in
Trenton, New jersey. The company now
has factories located at Ashbrook, Michi-
gan; Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, New York
Akron, Ohio; Wilmington, Delaware; Bal.
timore, Frankfort, New York; Utica, New
York; Boston, Philadelphia, Woodbridge,
Connecticut; Westville and two in St Louis,
being fifteen in all. A factory at ogdens.
burg, New York, was purchased during the
year. but has been closed down. The fac
tories employ an average Of 200 hands each,
or about 5000 in all. This is due to the in
PRODUCTION ofmachinery, some Of which is
Of very expensive character. The capital
in machinery and buildings amounts to
$5,0O0,0O0. Some idea may be gained OF
