Tho Morosinis 60 Away.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE blinds on
the big Morosini mansion at Yonkers
were closed to-day, and the entire place
had an unwonted aspect of solemnity.
As has been stated in these de-
spatches, the Morosini family have
been actively preparing for departure.
The conduct of Victoria, since her re-
turn to her fathers home on Sunday,
so wounded Mr.. Morosini's pride that
nothing but his wife's illness has
kept him in Yonkers up to this
time.
When, however, the family ply
sician said there was no danger in her
undertaking journey, the last remain
| ing preparations were made, and by 12
O'Clock yesterday the entire family,
consisting of Mrs. Morosini, her two
daughters and two sons, were driven
to point on the bank Of the Hudson
opposite where Washington E. Con.
nor yacht had been anchored during
the night. Everything on BOARD was
in readiness to receive them, and ten
minutes later they were in the cabin
and the vessel was steaming down the
river in the direction Of the city. Their
destination, however, is unknown.
1t Is said now that the eloping couple
are living in neat cottage on Wash.

The Christmas Tree.

It is curious how we differ about the time for the Christmas tree. Some fam lilies have it Christmas Eve, some the next morning, and some as late as Christ mas night. There really ought to be no question about it. Christmas Eve is the traditional, the natural time for it's dis play. It is then the "Christ child" comes, the Christmas carols are sung, the COWS kneel in the stable, the Glas- tonbury thorn will bloom. Around Christmas Eve cluster some of the old est, the quaintest traditions, and the children have rightto to begin their festi- val with it. The days work is done, the lights are lighted, there is a long even. ing for all the joy and excitement of the tree, and then nights sleep to rest the little eager people and prepare them for the happy waking. To have the tree on Christmas morning is to bring it into the hurry of the garish day. There are all sorts of Interruptions, aud between church going and household cares and the outside settlements, the sense of leisure which enhances the charm of the tree that blooms the eve before is entirely lost. And the children gain by having it the night before. By earliest dawn comes the stocking, and there is a long day for the play, which goes on under the shadow of the tree after the first delight and surprise is over. As for Christmas night it is simply tyranny to so cheat child of the long day, which ought to be filled by delight, but instead is long impatient waiting. To the lit- tie ones a pleasure deferred is far from being pleasure enhanced.

The Mound Builders as Metal Workers

The remains of the mound builders are placed under four heads: First mounds; second, embankments or ram. parts; third, mines and excavations. fourth, arts and manufactures.
 High up on the face of cliffs along the canyons of Northern Mexico are the caves of these curious colonists, close to the eyries of eagles, thousands of feet above the valleys. In some cases path just the width of a human foot leads from the brink of the cliff above to the mouth of tho caves, in nearly every in- stance a narrow ledge overgrown with shrubbery. In these caves they lived and died. The embankments and ram- parts are classed as defensive and re- ligious. The Notifications manifest progress in the art of war, at least. as advanced as the early Greeks and Tro- jans. The religious inclosures were usually combinations of geometrical fio- ures, in which perfect squares and fig ures are found. The mining operations of the mound builders were extensive Tn the Lake Superior region they mined copper. In Missouri galena, and in Mexico iron. They mined iron in py- rites. Elsewhere they quarried for mica and porphyry. The arts and manufac. lures of this people were of considerable importance. After a rude but effective fashion, they cast copper and iron, from which they not only manufactured weapons, but also ornaments and coins. They were so distinguished in wrapping amulets in silver that the work could hardly be distinguished from plating Articles worked in gold have also been discovered in tine caves and mounds.

Tho IUaururoI RaII.

Where the inauguration ball will be held, is question which just now, in the absence of other semi i-Voiitical gossip agitstes the society of Washington. The new pension building on Judiciary Square, if il could he put under roof by March nc xt, would undoubtedly be the most desirable place. There is no hope, how tver, that it will be in a condition by that time, advanced enough to admit of it's con- version for the time being into ball room. It is more than likely that the new Opera House, just built, will be chosen. It is estimated that it could accommodate from six to eight thou sand people. This would do away with the necessity for constructing shed especially for the occa sion, as was done when Gen. Grant was inaugCrated in 1875. The arrangement proved dismal failure; fer the day WAS unusually raw and chi ly. Ladies were com pelled to dance in their fur cloaks, and hum dreds went away cIrrying with them the seeds of consumption and other ailments.

Tales of Whistler.

Mir. Whistler's bon mots are circulat- ing in society ill fashion calculated to make the bones of Sydney Smith turn in their grave. He has his admirers as we all know. in spite of Mir. Ruskin; and one of these, worshiping at his feet in the esthetic Burne Jones attitude, murmured, "Ah, MT. Whistler, I only know of two painters in all the world Velasquez and yourself. f." "Why," said Mir. Whistler. in the softest tones, "why drag in Velasquez?'
 This is one of the best of stories, but another of the same kind is worth re- beating. "I see you everywhere in Ma ture," said one of his admirers; ''in the sky, in the clouds, in the water" "Yes, '' said the artist, with an air of inimitable self-complacency, Mature is very apt. She shows decided improvement since took her up."

The Navy,

T. D. Wilson, Chief of the Bureau of Con struction and Repairs, Navy Department, in his report recommends $4, ,961, GOO for the ''in- crease of the navy" including the construction of seven new steel vessels. The completion of the frigate New York, which has been on the stocks at the Brooklyn yard since 1865, is strongly recommended.
 An appropriation of S2,923,654 is recom- mended for the completion of four double tur- reted monitors. Upon this subject Commo- dors Wilson says:-'1 cannot too strongly urge the completion of these vessels ill all respects at an early day, as they will afford as good ves- sels of their class as are owned by any nation and in my opinion the best type of coast and harbor defence vessels in existence to-day " Two new vessels for training ships at 8 cost of $25O GOO are also recommended.
