Before M. Grevy became President
nc was neat, creaseless sort of
man, with a bald head, n shaven chin,
and closely trimmed whiskcrs, and
looked eminently respectable. The
only reprehensible things about him
were his hat and his hands. He always
wore a wide-awake instead of the
orthodox chimney-pot, and he eschewed
gloves. If his hands were cold he put
them in the pockets of his trousers.
Latterly he has allowed his beard to
grow, and is almost always attired in
evening dress, with the edge of his
scarlet Gordon peeping over his waist
coat.
There are in Shakspeare's plays
about ninety deaths taking place either
on the stage or Immediately behind.
The modes of death are various. Cold
steel-the dagger or the sword-ac-
counts for about two-thirds of the
whole; twelve persons die from old age
or decay; seven are beheaded; five die
by poison, including the elder Hamlet,
whose symptoms are so infinitely de-
scribed by the ghost; two of suffo-
cation, unless, indeed. Desdemona
makes third; two by strangling; one
from fall; one is drowned; three die
by snake bite, and one, Horner, the
armorer, is thumped to death with
sand-bag.
Straight University, in New Orleans,

They are, he said, natural theolop-

sciences they are lacking. We are not

Persian limitations OF Antiques.

Consul-Goneral Benjamin, who was
sont to Persia a year ago, gives an in
teresting account of how the modern
Persians profit by the craze for antique.
He says:
what has been lost by Persia in the
pearl fishery she seems likely to make
up in part by the new industry of man
ufacturing limitations of ancient Persian
armor and coins to meet the extensive
| demands of European collectors. But
the museums OF Europe long since abb
sorbed most of the best specimens of
the most interesting of the industrial
arts of the East. Specimens still exist,
but are not easily obtained and only at
a high price, and by those able to fer
ret out the Old families. If there are
no armies now to be clad with carved
and inlaid Lrimets, breastplates, and
buckles, IL $ an army of collectors,
artists, am rluost, studios or ban
quoting halls, and the artists of Persia
have taken up the business of manufac-
turing old arms, which may be pur-
chased for reasonable prices. Some
times these pseudo-antiques are sold
with little attempt to conceal the fact
that they are new, while in many cases
much cunning has been exercised in
giving them the appearance of antiqui-
ty. Only an expert could detect the
difference between some of these imi-
tations and the genuine antique. The
Jews of Hamadan also carry on an ex-
tensive manufacture of spurious an
tique coins. That city. the ancient Ec-
BAHAMA, abounds above any other city
in Persia, probably, in antiquities, and
the soil seems to be full of gold and
silver ornaments, coins, and the like.
Although pretty we'll dug over of late
years, the supply does not appear to be
exhausted. Fine examples of the coins
OF Alexander the Great and the Sassa-
nid1 are common, but the greed with
which they have been snatched up by |
travellers has led the Jews of that city |
TO consider it easier TO counterfeit them
than to dig for them. A steady supply
OF spurious coins is therefore constant
~ furnished the market from this
source. Even gold antiques are thus
initiated, having coating of real cold,
and cIeyerly Stimulating all the appear
ance of age"

Arthur,s Cabinet.

A Washington correspondent relates the
plans Of President Arthur's cabinet after the
4th Of March next. Secretary Chandler will
fall back into the lobby where he came from,
though be calls It ''resuming law practice"
Robert T. Lincoln will go back to his law
practice in Chicago, and will let politics alone
for some time to come. Secretary Freling-
huyson will go back TO New Jersey and vege-
tate and sleep. MeCulloch will continue to
live in New York and Washington as he did
before his last appointment Benny Brews-
ter will 90 back TO Philadelphia the worst
disappointed and the most unhappy man Of
the whole lot, as he had set his heart upon
going on the supreme court bench TO Ill
Bradley's place. But Bradley will not resign
and 1t is very doubtful II Arthur would APP
point him if the vacancy occurred. Brews-
ter is so subdued by the dismal outlook foI
his future that he has almost disappeared
from the surface of Washington society.
Little IL anything is heard Of him and one
rarely hears even a word of him in circles
where his eccentricities used TO afford {
standing topic for amusement. Secretary
Teller will return to Colorado. He will TT
to succeed Senator Hill this winter. He il
generally believed TO be very rich, although
he lives simply and pleads poverty when
called upon to spend any money. Franz
Hatton, the Postmaster-General,w will proba
oily return to Burlington, although he ii
talking some Of going into the railroad bust
ness.

A boy died of consumption, recently at the
Connecticut reform school. who hadkbeen
sent there at the request Of his father, who
charged him with the habit OF stealing. IL is
now alleged the boy was innocent and died
of grief. What fine specimen Of paterna

The feeling at Brsddoek, Pa, over the
sudden closing down of the Edgar Thompson
steel works is very gloomy. That thriving
little town depends almost wholly upen the
money expended by the employees Of that
establishment, which amounts 30 over $780,
900 per month, and taking that amount
away from trade makes IL dull indeed.

About 400 persons took supper during the
evening. The table can seat eighty persons
in comfort, and the boys now can sit down
under their own pine and fig tree and eat of

venience. Among those present from a dis

Especial Correspondence Of the Globe.
WAsEcA, Dec. 15.-We have waited a time
10 make up the report of the Masonic hop
and banquet on the 10th. 1t was gala fair
and hard to excel; the boys do not do any
thing by halves. The committee on arrange
ments, consisting of Hon. M. o. /. Coles
ter, Hon. w. Smith, Hon. w. c. Young, B.
g. Lewis, j. L. Claghap, are whole team,
and with little Bill Johnson, Henry Strong
and w. j. Dobbs there is no backing out; it
must go aheed and it did. The
spacious ball and reception room was
filed at an early hour, and at about $50 D.
m. the band struck up the grand march,
when all adjourned to the dancing room,
which for this event was in the skating rink
Dancing was kept up until the wee, small
hours in the morning. Amongst those who
tripped the light fantastic toe in the old style
as we used to when boys and to get in all
steps we're Fl. Reynolds, v C.. of G. A.
post Watkins Bailey and others.
About 10 O'Clock p. m. supper was an

hall of the order, and to say twas splendid
affair would be too tame, 1t could not well
be beat anywhere. Mrs. Barnes acted as
head caterer with quite corps OF lady as
sistants. Mr.. Warren Smith and Claghan
made themselves useful, as usual. The

A woman should sit on horse thus, says
De Busseqay's Handbook: ''The head straight,
easy turning upon the shoulders in any di-
rection without involving a movement Of the
body. The eyes fixed straight to the front,
looking between the horse's ears, and always
the direction in which be is going. The up
per part of the body easy, flexible and
straight The lower part of the body firm,
without stiffness. The shoulders well back,
and on the same line. The arms falling
naturally. The forearm bent The wrists
on a level with the elbows. The reins held
in each hand. The fingers firmly closed,
facing each other, with the thumbs extended
on the ends OF the lines. The right foot
falling naturally on the pommel Of the sad
die, the left foot in the stirrup without lean
ing on 1t. The part of the right leg between
the knee and the hip joint should be turned
on its outer or right side; and should press
throughout its length on the saddle. The
knees should, in their respective positions,
be continually in contact, without an excep-
ton. The loweror movable part of the leg
plays upon the immovable at the knee joint,
the sole exception being when the rider
rises to the trOt, at which time the upper
part Of the leg leaves the saddle.
