moved fir ON his chair. AT half past he
would 60 down and look about the kitch.
en-, 60 up to his room on the top floor,
again. Half-past found him in the mar
kets along the river-front buyi"r food for
the daily consumption of his nurborous
restaurants. This task generally took
him two or three hours, it was usually 6
O'Clock before he came back to the res
taurant again. and after another short
nap and bath, he was ready for his
breakfast as usual at O'Clock. This was
his daily programme. Sunday included.
He never smoked very strong cigars, and
had one in his mouth as long as he was
awake, unless he was eating. During the
day he was usually sleepy and stupid, and
lounged lazily in his chair with his head
on his breast.
This was natural considering the small
amount of sleep he had. When he died,
nicotine was said to be the most potent
cause of his death. Charles Delmonico
inherited the vast business. The immense
fortune which came to him was the imme-
date cause of his ruin. He conceived the
idea of being great millionaire. He had
fortune of several millions to start with
and he was thoroughly eonversant with.
Wall street affairs. He was jolly, wide
awake. and enterprising at first, but he
gave way to the besettlng sin of the
Delmonico family. and before long be
came as Emphatic and lazy as any of
his famous uncles. He sat with stu
pid and loggy expression in his restau-
rant for hours and hours at a time. He
grew cross, morose. and sullen. Men
who had known him for years, and
known him intimately, were rebuffed
when they approached his chair. and
he was a terror to everybody whom he
employed. But it is a singular fact
that through all his illness and subse-
quent dementla he never relaxed his
vigilant care Of bis restaurant Del
m0nico g of to-day is even more perfect
establishment than it was five years ago.
When Charlie Delmonico became pro-
nonnced lunatic. (about a year ago., peo-
pie who had formerly made it point to go
and speak to him every day and try and
keep up the social relations with him look
ed askance and gave him wide berth. He
sat staring modify at the floor for hours
at time. He grew very stout, and, like
Siro, his chin was depressed, His eyes
grew heavy and loggy, and without the
faintest spark of animation. He is the
last of the Delmonicos. The business will
probably 90 to his nephew, whose name is
Crist.-Ne,o York Cor. Washington Star.

"All is not gold that glitters,' might
| have formed the heading of my letter. AS
l glance over the lines that have just
written, there arises before me more than
one history OF coDjugal unhappiness. Sew
eral of the ladies inscribed upon my list
have been separated from their noble hus-
bands. One was divorced by her titled
spouse because he desired to contract a
serted by her husband soon after her
honeymoon. One unhappy lady was lock.
ed up in lunatic asylum by her titled
husband, and was only released through
the Intervention of the American Consul.
In another instance the titled spouse car
ried eff his wife's diamonds while the un-
fortunate lady lay dying. One TITLED gen.
tleman of whom have heard, being vexed
by his wife's piety, used to thrash her for
going overmuch to church, although they
were of the same faith.
AS rule, despite some fragrant excep-
tions to them, the Italian marriages turn
out the best of all the continental ALL
ances formed by American girls. French
husbands are about the worst of the whole
lot. AS to Englishmen, they resemble
Americans sufficiently in their home and
social training to enable them to get along
in most instances very satisfactorily with
their American wives. But the men of no
European nation with which I have ever
become acquainted can compare as hus-
bands with the natlve-born Americans

this on The top of the pudding, lay thin
slices of orange all over the top. Cover
this with the frosting.
A DAINTY way to make chocolate is to
set an earthen pot into kettle of boiling
water; in this place quart of milk and
cream mixed. Stir into this, when it is
hot, paste made by mixing three heaping
tablespoonful of grated chocolate with a
little cold milk. Let this boil for two or
three minutes, and serve very hot. If the
chocolate is sweetened, it is better not to
add sugar, but let each one add it at the
table if it is not sweet enough, but if the
unsweetened chocolate is used, two des-
ertspoonfuls may be put in while cooking.
Cream is the greatest possible addition.
BANANAS and oranges sliced and mixed
in salad bowl. may be made into de-
licious salad by pouring over them dress
ing made thus: To the juice of two or
anges add one gill of sherry wine and two
ounces of sugar, and the white of one egg,
heat to the boiling point, then let it STAND
where it will not boil hard, but will re-
main simmering for five minutes. Strain
through muslin. 1t you do not care to
use wine, it may be omitted and water
used instead. After this dish is prepared
it should be placed in an lcebox or a
very cold closet until it is put upon the
table.
A VERY excellent soup is favored so
strongly with carrot as to be called carrot
soup: For stock, take a good beef bone
or knuckle of veal have at least three
quarts of cold water and plenty of salt;
after it has boiled for half an hour add
one quart of table carrots, sliced very
thin, add rice or barley, pepper, and a
little dried parsley boil for an hour
longer. This may be strained, or be serv-
ed with tablespoonful of the sliced carrot
in each plate OF soup. Some cooks prefer
chopping the carrots fine, but this is a
matter of taste.
To ORNAMENT the top of a leaf of choc-
olate cake, make little white frosting.
and after spreading the misunderstanding
oyer the cake make scollops or rings with
the white; it it is made little sitter with
sugar than the misunderstanding it will
keep Its shape perfectly, and will add very
much to the good appearance of the cake;
1t may be put on with spoon, very care
fully, or you can make little funnel of
stiff white paper and drop it through that.
A GREAT convenience is found in this
simple contriyanee; have thin dish
made tapering, and with long handle;
have it small enough around so that you
can place it inside the tea-kette it is
invaluable when there is sickness in the
family, as there are SO many occasions
when one nee6s to cook Cruel or custards
at short notice, and with perfect immuni-
ty from the danger of burning, even
though constant attention cannot be give
them.

4 Vindication of Flirts. y
All firts declare it's not their way
To throw true mans love away,
And we must needs believe them,
II men will hover round flame
They surely have themselves to blame
If women do deceive them.
We can't expect a charming maid
To hide her beauty In the shade
'Tw0uld be indeed a pity.
What fault of hers if men admire?
Must she from all the world retire.
Because she's very pretty?
The sun, whose vivifying powers
Have peopled all the earth with flowers.
Can he withhold his brightness?
And what is Beauty but sun
That quickens all it looks upon,
And fills the heart with lightness?
Then blame no maid if she inspires
With beauty's light loves lasting fires
Without reciprocating.
But blame thyself as dull to move
The little maiden's heart to love
And cease all imprecation.

three ounces of sugar and the yolk of three

If this levee had existed, the present swell

to presidential preferences in their respec-

stance: -"Neither party seems to be af.
hicted with any elements of discord. Not a
single letter expresses any fear of trouble
on the temperance question, or any other
side issue. Local and personal quarrels
are referred 10, If at all, as not likely to
stand in the way of success. In regard to
candidates, the Democrats seem to be OF
one mind. Not single county is reported
to be in favor of any other than the old
ticket, with Harrison for Governor, except
that St. Clair favors Morrison, if he has
any show. 1t is the old ticket first, last
and all the time. Letter after letter speaks
in the most positive way as regards the
Democratic preference. One would say
that Harrison would be nominated by &C.
clamaton and delegation solid for the old
ticket sent to Chicago without the slightest
doubt. No such unanimity is expressed in
regard to Republican nominees. As fol
Governor, good word is spoken for both
Ogelsby and Hamilton, no Republican be.

either. AS for President, the names most
