s~having-cups of Eve lords of nobility, who
are steady customers. The cups are not Of
gold or any other valuabls metal inlaid with
fabulously-rated precious stones, as might be
imagined. but simply vessels made of or.

from any OF the many Others in the piacs>by

Bender formerly attended to the tonsor.-l
wants OF Mr.. William q. Vanderbilt on the
other male members of the family of million
aires while at the Windsor. Mr.. Wander
bilt, with his flowing side-whiskers, was al

himself. But whether through any fear Of
disaureeable contact from outsiders or not,

ceased to get their slaves done away from
their homes, md now employ a special bur
Der for their exclusive use, at a stated
allary, to attend to their demands

in occasionally to tho d Hman for their
slaves, their offices being at Twenty sixth
