ture him until he would howl with pain, and he
would not even growl at them. His body was
deposited in the family vault, where it will re-

burying ground of the family of his mistress.
The women of New York, according to the
Spectator, are terribly Overdressed, and the
mems faces sad and preoccupied; but how could
it be otherwise7 asks the New York World.
1.-The London women will not communicate the
secret of their own exquisite taste in costume,
and the men of New York have never recovered

William E. Dodge, TO preside" said DR.. Zachos
at the Cooper institute the other night; the Doc

failed to hear of his death. This is not quite SO
bad as the incident related of an eminent En-

Mace were both staying at the st. Charles
Hotel, New Orleans, he remarked to a friend
that the "slugger" did not look to be a very
quick man, and finally made a bet of a basket
of wine that he could give him a blow and es-
cape punishment by instantly apologizing be-
