FINGER NAILS CAMEOED. PRICE
SD AND UPWARD.

The above curious sign, hanging in a parlor
window Of a small house on street not hun
dred miles from the corner of Broad and Wal
nut, attracted the attention of a Record repre-
sentative yesterday afternoon and ascending
the marble steps he rang the bell. A small col
ored boy, clad in a claret-colored livery and the
front of whose jacket was concealed behind sew
eral dozen brass buttons, opened the door.

yes, sab. Step this way sah," and the sable
Juvenile led the way into small parlor, in which
were seated two very pretty young ladies and Il
blonde dude; the former together the latter off
in a corner by himself.
Take a seat. sab" continued the boy, push
ing forth chair, and then vanishing through
the door, which he closed behind him.
After an interval Of five minutes, during
which the reporter got interested in article in
a copy of the Atlantic Monthly for June, 1869
which, with several other specimens Of current
literature, lay on the comfortable, the folding
doors of the rear parlor opened and q modest
looking young woman came out. She handed n
small package to the young ladies' who at once
went away, and the blonde dude then stepped
forward.

Washington Critic.
Let me remark" said modest official to a
modest reporter at a reception recently, that
there is great need of popular protest now and
here against the exposure Of female charms that
is tolerated among the highest social circles on
full dress occasions. 1t is not exactly subject
for newspaper discussion but it is theme for
an earnest and honest rebuke 1t is very bad
TASTE and 1t is shocking, and, in spite of what
has been said, there Is an increase rather than
a dk3rease in the percentage of EXCEPTIONALLY
low-necked dresses at fashionable receptions. No
one can defend the exposure of arms and necks
and shoulders on any reasonable grounds and
for the health and comfort of the ladies, the
morals of all concerned, and in the interest Of
tasteful and effective dressing, the sooner a
change is made, and present low-cut patterns re-
jected in all refined circles the better it will be
for the tone of social assemblages.
There is just one other point would like to
make in reply to those who claim that the mat
ter is one in which everybody should use her
own discretion, and be free to decide for herself.

personal liberty, but see how it is accomplished

Story of a Spendthrift.
Denver Republican.


The suicide of George II. Fryer ex-milionaire
and spendthrift, is the talk not only of the town,
but Of all the State. Fryer came to Colorado in
the early days, and since that time has been con-
sidered one of the leading citizens, Fryer Hill,
at Leadville was named after him. On this
now famous hil the richest in the carbonate
belt Fryer made the first location, ''rhe New
Discovery" which produced millions. After
Fryer sold it he was one of Colorado's shrewdest
miners, and was thoroughly posted as to geolog-
zeal formations. The Leadvile boom was at its
height when Fryer Hill was not thought of as
containing mineral Mr.. Fryer, after studying
the mineral formations, concluded that the car
Donate belt necessarily extended into that hill
and he set force Of men at work developing
His friends laughed at him, but he kept on sink
ing, and the result was 'The New Discovery"
which produced furore in the mining world
Since he has been in Colorado he has made and
lost dozen fortunes being engaged in mining
in all parts of the State. He was high liver
and once he procured fortune he did not rest
till he had spent it all In spending his money
he was the Goal Oil Johnny" of the West His
extravaganza and hberality to his friends caused
his financial ruin. For the past year he has
been trying to retrieve his fortunes in the mines
but for once in his life fate was against him

Brand in the honOrs and emoluments of the
speakership of the House of Commons, is the
youngest son of the late Sir Robert Peel. who
was twice Premier and was born in 1929 He
educated at Eaton and at Ballot College, Ok
ford. In July 1865, he returned to the
House of Commons for Warwick. and has con-
tinued to represent that borough in the Liberal
interest ever since His first office under gov
eminent was the secretaryship to the poor law
board, which he held under Mr. Gladstone's
ministry. from December, 1868 to january.
1871. He was then made Parliamentary
secretary to the Board of Trade but
Withdrew from that position in August, 1873,
to become the Patronage Secretary to the Treas
ury. This functionary is popularity known as the
whip for the Ministerial party and he is paid
$4,000 year for the responsible and trouble

baronet, Sir Robert Peel, elder brother ofthenew
Speaker, is without seat in the House of
Commons at present having been defeated as
the Conservative candidate for Gravesend in
July 1880. He is political free lance, Liberal
and Conservative by turns and is always chang
ing his politics. He was such Spendthrift in
early life that the Premier baronet, who had paid
tens of thousands of his debts, tied up his estate
as tightly as possible, and left his heir and name
sake in a state of chronic impecuniosity. In the
race for wealth and honors he will be dstanced
by his younger brother, who will have $50, 600
year as Speaker and the Speakers house to live
in, and will be made a viscount and given pen
sion Of $40, 900 year for two lives when he gets
tired Of the Speakership.

THE WALTERS GALLERY.
A Noble Collection of Works of Art Gathered
by a True COnnoisseur.

new Ork sun.
There is no other collection of pictures in
America that equals in importance and interest
the Walters collection. There are great public
galleries in Europe that far overshadow it. espe-
cially in their display of the works of the middle
age masters; but there is no collection, public or
private in Europe thatequals it in its high stand
ard of excellence in the variety of the schools
Represented, nor are there anywhere galleries so
handsome. so agreeable in proportion, or so fit
ting in adaptation to use and in beauty of deco
ration. The pictures themselves are a complete
index to the best art Of the century. Nothing is
missing and every example is of the best man
ner of the master it represents. There can be
no higher purpose in forming collection than is
herein implied, and it has been maintained
steadily from the beginning.
There are four galleries in all, and while the
two which contain the paintings, are of the i'm
portance described. the collection of oriental art
arranged in the others is the most valuable in
existence. There are between four and five thou
sand examples ranging from the finest porce-
lains of the best epochs of the art of the Chinese
ceramist down to Inros and Netsukes, the ex-
duisite trivialties of the cOnsummate artists of
Japan. The field which it covers is a wide one
and the museums of Europe do not approach it
in interest. There is nothing like it anywhere
and to the student of ceramic art and of the
marvellous workmanship of the Chinese and
Japanese in the precious and other metals it af-
fords an opportunity for research and enlighten-
ment that he will not find anywhere else. 1t has
the proportions Of a museum. but it is one in
which only objects Of the rarest beauty are pre-
served

WAITING THE RETURN OF A sPEcrER.
How Dying Mans Promise to Return to
This World Was Kept
Troy IN. V Times.


This World Was Kept.
Troy IN. y Times.
Yesterday was the day set fog William Van
Tassel, who died last fall to return, according
to statements made by his family, to his farm
near Twin Lake, ON East mountain, in this
county Byron Baker, who married one of Van
Tassel's daughters said that the old mans ghost
appeared to him and William Bailey on Fed. 7.
The spook was looking out of the barn window,
and wore the fur hat Van Tassel wore when
alive and had sheepskin drawn loosely over
its shoulders. Soon afterward it reappeared and
called for James Van Tassel. James was in
duced to come out Of the house, and, says Baker,
the ghost addressed him, saying: flames. you
must mend your ways and stop swearing and
take charge of the farm. | understand
that James H. Hoffman is coming to live here.
and want you to tell him that / will be here
again on Friday, February D. and if he is here
then l will haunt the life out of him" The
ghost then disappeared. Hoffman married Van
Tassels youngest daughter against her fathers
will.
Yesterday, therefore, was looked forward to
with interest, and a party ON the watch a
good part of the day. The party consisted of
persons living on the adjoining mountain farms.
Toward P. NJ. the first noise was made. Some
thought it came from inside the house, andsome
thought it came from the outside Investigation
was made, but nothing was discovered.
The party returned to the house, and all was
quiet until nearly 2. NJ Then second noise
groans, and the party again went out. In the
party were James Van Tassel, Rice Stevens,
Sam Jones, Gil. Bailey, Mrs Hall and her son
George, besides the members of the Van Tassel
family. James says they saw strange sight
about 300 yards from the house 1t was an OBJ
ject that shone brilliantly and started from the
ground Its course was upward, and it gradual
ly foated to the northeast, in spite of strong
west wind. 1t rose slowly, and presented
the appearance of a mans head and neck,
but much larger All of the party saw it.
1t did not, James says i'll any way resemble his
father, and he added with emphasis that no one
in the family had ever connected his father with
that spectre He said the whole party stood,
and with wonderment gazed at it as it slowly
sailed away in an opposite direction to strong
wind. 1t did not have his fathers old fur hat on,
nor did it show any of his features. Unlike the
spook of two weeks before it spoke not 1t
gradually receded until it was lost in the dis
lance. 1t was in sight about five minutes.
''There's no question:" he added, but that it
presented counterpart of persons head and
neck"

Paying OF a Mortgage with Cats.

Sacramento (Cal.) Union.
Shortly after the discovery of the Comstock
mine an old gentleman unable to meet
mortgage of $500 on his place on Mormon
island. A stranger stopping at the door, saw
several pretty kittens playing in the yard. He
said: ''trhose cats, if you had them on the Com
stock would bring you $40 piece" The old
man saddled his horse and for the next fortnight
rode from house to house, farm to farm and vii
lage to village, begging and buying cats. He got
500, and sold them on the Comstock mine, and
after he had paid off his mortgage and put in
bank $500 clear, he told his neighbors why he
had wanted cats. They no longer deemed him

Governor Oglesby's Anecdote of Lincoln.


Lincoln was long and ungraceful in his usual
movements, but in the midst Of debate and when
earnestly engaged, there was glow on his face,
a sublime air in his manner, and lofty tone
which elevated not only the argument, but lifted
up and encouraged every one who listened to
him. While cannot say he was partial to any
one in his intercourse with men. he was uni
formly courteous, mild and polite toward all.
He did not seem to seek favor by personal cleo
tioneering but he never turned coldly or
formally from any man. All whom he knew he
addressed by their given name, and those to
whom he was introduced he met equally kindly.

look upon him as great and thoughtful man
