from near the waist, spreading wider as it rises, till the fern sprays and the tips of the rosebuds, or the highest bells of the lily of the valley, Aeck the graceful throat and all but touch the cheek. The carriages are an- nounced and the cortege drives of to the se- lected theatre. Fifteen chairs in the front, and fftesn more in the second, row of tho balcony have been pre- engaged the ladies take the former, the gentlemen the latter. If the party-giver is on his mettle, the broad top Of the balcony parapet may be found hidden by an inlaid mosaic of flowers, on which, in front of each chair, lies pro gramme printed on scented satin. It may be that theatre parties on a similar scale occupy the whole front row of the balcony, and the effect of such spectacle is Eot easy to de- scribe.
 When the play is over, the theatre-party, if the affair is "full-poWered" one, does not disperse. No, it returns to Delmonico's, whore the dining room is now found to be ballroom, with music in readiness. Other guests may arrive, and waltz follows waltz, until about o'clock the host of tha evening modestly suggests that some slight refresh ment may be found in an adjacent apart ment The slight refreshment is found to consist in an elegant supper, served on a ta- ble not less lavish in it's floral decorations than had been the dinner table. By the time the plovers' eggs are reached, suudry baskets containing the presents for the now impend- ing "German," as the Americans call the CO., tillion, have been conveyed into the ball. room. If Colonel Delaney Kane-the Au- gustus Lumley of New York-is not of the party, be sure it includes some leader whose fertility of invention and brillisncy of exe- cution have earned him a prestige of hardly less renown. And the presents prove to be not gimcrack geWgsTs, but souvenirs of real taste and substantial value. This lady some how finds on her erm the bracelet of Mexi- can tiligree work for which, the other day, she had expressed a longing: from that one's wrist comes to dangle the fan from the Pla- teria of Madrid, whose fellow, yielded by an ex- ex-minister's wife, she had pronounced a month before to be ''just too lovely for any thing" Five o'clock is striking as the eiver of this modest little entertainment is driving through Madison Square on his way to the Brevoort, complacent in the consciousness that he has achieved a triumph. His passage is taken by the next Guion steamer, and he has earned the cheers and the kerchief- waving that will be accorded him as the good ship backs out from her wharf. But before he sails he will have had to pay few small bills in connection with his theatre party"

He must go about this un- dertakinR with thoughtfulnesI, tact and good balance at his credit. He will pay visit to Delmouico's, another to his florist 5, and g third to the box-office of the theatre where a now piece is to be brought out, say that day fortnight Then he will issue his invitations, asking to honor him with their presence at his theatre party fifteen, let us say of the most charming and gracious Of the ladies with whom he has been most inti- mate, and fourteen of his brightest and most eligible male friends. The rendezvous as- signed will be "Delmonico's, p. m." In one of the upper chambers of that most sumptuous of all restaurants the party will sit down to 8 repast such as the Cafe Anglais cannot surpass Tke thermometer outside may be below zero, but the table will be brilliant and fragrant with a profusion and variety of flowers.

There they find a long side table that seems covered with noWers, and by it there stand trim, neat-handed young women from the establishment Of the fashionable florist.

At Newcastle, England, recently, hostler and his master were charged at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with ill-tresting horse by cutting of portion of its tail. It was stated that the cutting of portion of horse's tail to improve it's appearance was custom that prevailed all over England, and was known as docking. Three veterinary surgeons said that 1t entailsd upon the ami nal great suffering. The Bench said that in consideration of that being the first prosecu- tion in the north of England they would in- hict only small fine, but If another such case came before them the penalty would be a heavy one.

London, with 8 territory of nearly TOO square miles, covered by more than 700, 900 houses and inhabited by nearly 5000, ,o00 persons, is the safest capital for life and property in the world. A summary of the report concludes as follows: s'The extradi- ton treaties continue to operate most benefi- cially in rendering to justice Continental subjects flying from the law to or through Great Britain. It is, however, comparatively seldom that an Englishman turns for refuge to any other country than the United States of America, with whom the treaty is still the most incomplete and the most defective of any now existing between civilized govern ments,"

The chairman of the Committee of One Hundred in Philadelphia has been sued for libel because at public meeting he read 8 letter which contained an accusation that sewer steal would not have occarrsd had 1t not been for the charge of the judge, oan- didats for reelection, who was plaintiff in this action. As matter of fact, the case was not tried before the jadge. The court ia sustaining motion for nonsuit, said: "The question is whether the communication, which is said to have been made in good faith to the defendant and his associates could not be entertained by them, or consid
 cred, without verifying the facts contained In the communication. There is no malice shown in their receiving such communica- ton and examining it, and communicating it in the meeting of the association. Whether such communication is privileged cue, so that the defendant cannot be made liable for it in a case of this character, seems to me to be very important one, and partly by reason of its importance, in consideration of the duty which belongs to or which the court owes to the public at large, it is important that the law should be well stated and well settled in such 8 ease." Under this ruling the case goes to the full bench for argument.

Trades-unions can be as unjust and tyran- nical as any of the capitalists they fight. A tailor named Jacobs had small shop in New York some time ago and gave employment to about thirty men. These employees struck one day because Jacobs refused to discharge 8 foreman whom the Tailors' union wished to discipline. The employer tried to get along, but finally he yielded to the union's terms. That was not enough, however. The union imposed fine on him for his independence, and as he could not pay 1t he had to make an assignment. To-day he ig 8 ruined man.

Truth is stranger than fiction. Six years ago tramp named BarroWs stopped at the house of a farmer named Cate in little vil- lage in Maine, and became his "hirsd man" When Cate died the widow employed Bar rows to run the farm. After a while he be- came ambitious to step into Gates shoes. and proposed marriage to his ''boss." She re- fused his offer, whereupon he fired 8 revol- yer at her, and in running away she fell and broke her leg. Barrows thought he had killed her, and so shot himself inthe breast. He recovered and had to serve a sentence in jail for his offense. But the shooting seemed to warm Mrs. Gates heart toward her would bs murderer. She refused to appear against him at the trial, and soon after he got out of jail she married him. The strangely match ed pair have lived happily to all appearances ever since, until the other evening Barrows was mysterious1y shot in the barn, and died without casting any light on the tragedy.

Fire.

About o'clock on Monday morning
last. an alarm of fire aroused our citizers
and the ruddy glare indicated the local
ity, which proved to be the feed and gro
Gerry store of A. & G.. Gamm, and the
millinery store of Miss r. Schiebel. The
store of the latter was totally destroyed,
with portion of her stock. Loss about
$500. Insurance $1,000 in the North
British and Mercantile London and Edin-
burgh Company.
The store of A. & G.. Gamm was so
badly injured as to be worthless. Their
loss on building and stock is estimated at
about $4,000. Insured in the Concordia,
OF Milwaukee, for $4,000.
The boot and shoe store of F. w. Kurz-
veg was damaged by fire and water to
some extent. Loss covered by insurance.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.

Notwithstanding the coldness Of the

operations. The ground has been in

seed and the outlook is favorable for an
