that the old ways are not in unison with
the new things, and Mrs. Grundy will
perceive at glance that she is only q
cook unles she Stimulates the bearing of
the mistres as well as the cut and fash
ion of her garments. But even among
the very elect, whose manners need no
reformation, whose mind ard temper
are supposed to be above suspic-
ion, new clothes are often capable of
arousing some latent enthusiasm.
The excitement of selecting and pre-
pairing new ones never seems to grow
stale or improbable, since every sea-
son brings into the market fabrics and
fashions so quaint and picturesque that
one does not feel as if she were indulg-
ing in the commonplace recreation of
clothing herself and fostering vanity,
but as though she were cultivating her
aesthetic taste, enlarging the borders
of thought and appreciation, encourag
ing the arts and commerce, and abso-
lutely doing missionary work in her
own way in behalf of herself and her
neighbors; for is the eye not an avenue
to the soul? In the meantime we will
meet those who have the audacity to
find fault with new clothes, to whom
new boots are an invention of the
inquisition only second to the thumb
screws, who never feel at home in the
spring suit until its freshness has de-
parted, to whom the ulster is straight
jacket, the new bonnet q species of
martyrdom, who never become resign
ed to the discipline of new clothes.

New Clothes.

There is something almost regener-
ating about new clothes. They possess
a moral influence which even the mis-
sionary which carries them to the heath
en- has not overlooked, however per-
suaded he may be that we overdo the
matter. What man in his new spring
suit ever refused his wife favolY When
he had on his old things, and felt down
at the mouth and shabby enough, he
could doubtless do it without qualm
but let him once get inside OF his new
breeches, and all the complsisance In
his nature comes to the surface. Even
Pat feels himself hedged in in his Sun
day clothes, and limited as to the drinks
and if he is going to give Biddy black
eye, ne will do it in his old duds. And
Biddy herself, although she may be sour
enough about her work in her tattered
calico, and resdy at bandying billings
gate, no sooner dons her smart new
delaine than a lady-hke behavior seems
to be imbued Herewith. We love con-
sisteney, and there is something inhar-
monious in our mind between new
clothes and bad manners, and we would
fain remodel our speech and actions to
| correspond with our attire. Not that
old clothes necessitate incivty. We
will find many q gentleman and woman
inside them. But when the rude and
untutored body puts on her best, a
vague, unformulated idea possesses her

Paganini's Pet.

One day while approaching Paris in
a diligence, after his visit to England,
Paganini had the modification of see
ing his beloved Guarnerius fall from
the roof of the coach. The delicate
instrument received palpable injury,
and had to be taken to Vuillaume, the
famous maker and repairer of violins
established in the French capital.
Vsillaume not only mended it-as the
story goes-but made an exact fac
simile of it, taking both to the italian
virtuoso with the remark that the two
instruments, living side by side in his
laboratory, had puzzled him as to
their identity. The dismayed must
clan siezed first one and then the
other, played upon both and carefully
examined them, together and apart,
and ended by exclaiming that he could
not tell which was his own.
He strobe about the room wild,
ecstatic, AMI in tears-faith and fury
alike struggling for the mastery in him,
until the honest Parsian, overcome by
the sight of grief and bewildermen t
so genuine, and never from the first
intending to deceive his client, asked
him to keep both violins as q pledge
for his esteem and admiration, at the
same time pointing out the sham
Guarnerius, for which he begged an
honorable place in Paganini's house
hold. Who can doubt, after this, that
new violins may be made to look and
speak as we'll as old ones?

Another Sunday Law Contest.
Pioneer Press.

The temperance and Sabbath obser-
vance questions are at present agitating
the people of Racine, Wisconsin in a
way which indicates that crisis is
coming, if not already here. The Scan
dinavian churches have held mass
meetings, following in the wake of all
other denominations, and have present
ed the mayor and common council
with copies of resolutions demanding
action on the matter. Affairs had
about come to focus, and proclama-
ton was expected when the saloon
keepers became aroused and turned
the tables by vowing to close every
other place of business if an attempt
was made to close them, and immedia-
tely began to boycott all interested IN
the movement, from the bankers to
livery men, merchants and others.
They threaten to close every livery
stable and cause every bookkeeper,
manufacturer, or any one else, found
laboring on Sunday to be arrested If
the Sabbatarians persist in their efforts.
The city council is undecided what
action to take in the matter. Racine,
like most other Wisconsin towns, has
population in which the foreign
element is very strong.

Carving.


1t is considered an accomplishment
for lady or gentleman to know how
to carve well at their own table.
1t is not proper to stand in carving.
The carving knife should be sharp and
thin.
To carve fowls (which should always
be placed breast uppermost,) place the
fork in the breast, and take off the
wings and legs without turning the
fowl; then cut the ''merry through, "
cut slices from the breast bone, cut
the carcass III two; divide the joint in
the legs of turkey.
In carving sirloin, cut thin slices
from the side next to you; it must be
put ON the dish with the tenderloin
underneath; then turn it, and cut from
the tenderloin. Serve the guests to both
kinds.
In carving leg of mutton, or ham,
begin by cutting across the middle OF
the bone.
Cut tongue across and not length
wise, and serve from the middle part.
Carve a fore quarter of lamb by
separating the shoulders from the ribs,
and then divide the ribs. Serve each to
piece of kidney and its fat. Carve
pork and mutton in the same way.
To carve fillet of veal, begin at the
top, and help to the stuffing with each
slice. In breast of veal, separate the
breast and brisket, and then take off
and serve them up, asking which part
is preferred.
In carving a pig it is customary to dl-
vide it. and take off the head before ii
comes to the table, as, to many persons,
the head is revolting. Cut off the limbs,
and divide the ribs.

How the Bey of Tunis Lives.
The Spectator.


The palaces of the Bey are splendid
and homogeneous; the Bardo, an hour
from the Capital, is fine sample OF
Oriental architecture and decoration,
spoiled by Partisan upholstery and vul-
gar European carpets. Dar-el-Bey, his
only town residence, is magnificent and
neglected; his real abode is q separate
building, walled. and standing in a gar
den, near the Bardo. He goes to the
Bardo once week, to sit in judgem ent
on his subjects, and receive the EN-
bassadors and consuls of the Great
Powers; and then there is brief stir,
and the court presents stately picture
sit is, however, only an external bril-
liancy, and it can not deceive the visi-
tor as to the misery reigning within the
Moorish Empire" Mahommed Els Sa-
dock Pasha Bey is an amiable enough
Prince, by all accounts--fond of child
rem, but childless, and very simple in
his habits. He has only one wife, and
though he pays her formal visit of an
hours duration at her castle every day,
he rarely sees her, as the hour of his
visit is generally one appointed for de-
votion, and on his arrival he goes to a
small room in the palace to pray.
He is supposed to know nothing of
the management OF his possessions; be-
fore him all is splendor, behind his back
all is desolate ruin. Whichever of his
palaces he shall die in, will be disman-
tied and left to decay, for Bey must
not live in a palace in which prede-
cessor has died. None of them has had
himself transported into the street on
death approaching, and there are more
than dozen palaces in Tunis to-day
which can not be used by the Beys. A
melancholy example of this absurd
custom is Mahomedia, once the mag
niicent residence OF Achmet Bey, who
had it built thirty-five years ago at a
cost of 100000 francs. This palace
with its secondary buildings and villas
for Ministers and dignitaries, was stu
ated two miles ont of town; and when
Achmet Bey died the furniture was
moved, the floors, glazed tiles, doors
and windows was broken out and car
ried TO another palace. The heavy
marble columns, statues, the curb of the
wells, &C., remained behind with the
walls, and he who passes those impos-
ing ruins to day might think thousands
of years had passed over them. The
hand of the Arab destroys thus in our
day, in the midst of peace, as his an
cestors, the Vandals, did centuries ago
only in time of war. So much for ORR
entail cultured

BRINGING HOME THE DEAD.
A Description Of the Collins i'm which
the Jeanette Dead are to be Placed.
Man VorL T;,oasN

On Saturday the eleven caskets, in
which are to be brought home the
bodies of De Long and his dead COM
rades, will be shipped from this city.
the caskets are made of cast iron, fin
ished in imitation of rosewood. The
bodies, which are thoroughly fir oxen,
as they have been since life departed,
will be enveloped in inch-thick soft
felt, all save the head. They will then
be laid in caskets and covered over
with ground cork. Over the head,
reaching under the chin, zinc (silk-
covered) hood will be placed. The
hood is open front and back, the edges
pressing upon the bottom and top of
the shell, the cover having been placed
on, screwed down and cemented, so
that the shell will be thoroughly air
tight. The case is to be wrapped with
two-inch felt and placed upon bed of
ground cork in the bottom of the out
side case. The surrounding space will
then be filled in with ground cork,
which will be pressed down.
The cover of the outer case having
been secured, more felt is to be wrap
ped around this box and an outer COW
eripg of hemp cloth added, all being
held in place by stout wooden frame
or rack. 1t is said that the bodies be-
Ing placed in the caskets while frozen
will be turned into sort of waxy It's
sue and that the features will always
present natural appearance. The
upper parts of the lid of the casket are
supplied with double plates of heavy
glass, capable of sustaining sixty-six
pounds pressure to The square inch.
All the caskets are alike, save in size.
The eleven caskets will be shipped to
st. Petersburg by way of Hull. From
St. Petersburg they will be transported
to the end of the railroad commune
cation at Orenburg, whittier the bodies
will have been brought on sledges.

A Three Million Dollar Cathedral.
New York Special.

The approaching diocesan conven-
ton will give attention to the long
talked of Episcopal cathedral and there
is said to be good prospect that favor
able action will be taken. 1t is said
that the committee appointed to select
a site have come to an agreement.
Persons who are in position to know
are of the opinion that 100000 will
be the minimum cost and tina. the
style will be pure gothic. After the
site is accepted the financial question
will have to be met. Three million
dollars is a pretty large sum to put
into one ecclesiastical edifce, and
there are some good Episcopalians
who, in view of the existing difficulties
in raising the 100000 mission fund
recommended by the last general con-
vention, are afraid the whole thing is
premature; but unless the sentim ent
of wealthy and jealous churchmen is
greatly over-rated, these apprehensions
will be set aside in the convention, and
the undertaking will be given a fair
start.

Marriage Of Mayor Harrison of Chicago.
Chicago Special.

On the ed of last month there was a
quiet wedding in the city of London,
England, the contracting parties being
Carter III. Harrison, mayor of Chica-
go, and Miss Maggie Stearns, daughter
of Marcus c. Stearns, well-known
business man of this city. Mr.. Stearns,
accompanied by his wife and dasghter,
went to Europe last May, and it was
undoubtedly with the intention of mar
rying Miss Stearns in England that our
mayor was in such hurry to cross the
ocean. The lady was well known in
society here, and is quite handsome.
A year or so ago she took part in pri-
waite theatricals at the West Side Opera
house, in which she made quite hit.
The mayors daughter, Miss Lima Har-
rison, was also in the cast. 1t is believed
that Mayor Harrison and his bride
went to ireland on their wedding trip,
as the dispatches give an extended ac-
count of the banquet given in his
honor by the lord mayor of Dublin.

Expensive Saratoga.

A Louisville C0terier-JOurnGl man
writes: | asked rich friend to tell me
how much it cost him and his party of
three for days board at Saratoga.
"Well," said he, "you see that these
three rooms are called cottage. In
New York, when there is a building
where different families occupy the
rooms opposite to you and above
YOU. it is called tenement house; at
Saratoga it is the swell thing, and is
dignified by the name of cottage. We
are on what is called in other places the
ground floor, and the windows in the
two bedrooms each open on q court
only; you see that the furniture is
nothing remarkable, the rooms not
large, and yet, as you can read on the
notice tackled on each door, The price
of this cottage is $40 day, and $3.50 a
day extra for each person in the cot
tage.' That is $27 for us three. We
have q private table set in our parlor;
that is So day extra, ard the board
for servant man, horses and carriage
brings the expense to $50 day. | pay
$50 week for the board of my horses,
and that is the price l pay in New
York, $50 for each horse" The rich
man did not appreciate my surprise
and it was not Vanderbilt l was inter
rogatisg. His expenses / expect are
five times as great as those of my
friend. Mr.. Vanderbilt stated to a gen
tleman that his income each mouth
amounted to 81, $50 900, or S43, 500 8
day. Thus it will be seen that he car
pay his bills and have a small margin
left over.
