THE will of Charles Reade gives to the Harpers, 'for
their editorial ROOM an oil portrait of himself.
Mrs. CHESTER W. CHAPLIN, of Springfield, has given
$4,000 more toward the free public library in that
city.
CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER will soon deliver lee

College.
THE inscription on Beaconsfeld's bust in Westmin-
ster Abbey, is Lord Beacousfeld, twice Premier of
England.
Mr.. CAssIUs NJ. CLAY lives twenty miles from Lex
ington, near Foxtown Crossroads, where he was once
nearly beaten to death for his opposition to slavery.
He is writing his memoirs.
ONE of the sights in connection with the panic was
the way in which the sandwiches, stacked on Delmon-
ico's counters, disappeared. The walters were in a
fainting condition by the time the Exchange closed.
LORI BEAcoNsFIELD's papers and letters were enor-
nous in number and ABSOLUTELY without order or ar.
rangemeut. Lord Rowton, who is editing his memoirs,
finds that Beaconsfeld kept no index to his CORE
spondence or notes, but simply thrust all into large
box.
ONE of the provisions in the life sentence imposed
in Berlin on Carl Schenck, one Of the trio of servant
girl murderers, is that on the anniversary of the kill

day in a dark cell. He will thus have to spend ten
days per year in total darkness.

LIFE insurance coppanies make a discrimination

DECATUR, Ga, is a quaint old town which forty
years ago refused to allow a railroad station to be built
there, and thus made way for Atlanta, six miles

THE FASHIONABLE MALE

A change is coming over the spirit of the
society reporters dreams. Slight but decisive
signs indicate that a revolution is slowly tax
ing place in his methods of setting forth the
peculiarities, amiable and otherwise, Of the
various personages who may come in his way.
In particular does he seem to be overcoming
the unfair discrimination he has so long been
accustomed to make by describing the dress
of female celebrities and ignoring the fact
that the equally distinguished male rival was
clothed in aught but his right mind. Man as
he is clothed is beginning to have some degree
Of attention paid to him by the purveyors of
those thrilling 'Society Notes" which we all
so greedily peruse. Thanks are probably due
to Mr.. Oscar Wilde for introducing tae fash
ion of describing the masculine toilet. Before
his visit, gentlemen, if mentioned at all as
component parts of any gathering, were de
scribed as having been arrayed in the "con-
ventional suits of black" and were then
thought to have been given overmuch space.
1t is true that the society gentleman has here
tofore affected a d~istaste, if not q contempt,

VARIOUS and sundry exchanges CONNER fool
ishly upon the subject of placing General Grant
on the retired list of the army, with full pay.
They are all agreed that such a proceeding is
only a matter of right and justice, but they alb
surdly and solemnly recommend that the be-
stowal of the right shall be accompanied with
certain restrictions. In view of the unfortunate
fact that General Grant has shown himself to be
distressingly ignorant of financial ways that are
dark, and has, therefore, become the prey of
sharpers, it is suggested thathe shall be required
to accept the position and emoluments of o gen.
erals Office only on condition that he shall not
thereafter engage in business or tamper with
speculative schemes of any sort. OF course, no
one can seriously believe that such conditions
will be imposed, but the repetition of the sug-
gestion becomes wearisome. General Grant is
not an object of charity. If he is placed on the
army list, it will be only reinstating him in the
position he resigned to become President,
and which he would now hold, otherwise, with
out question. All the honor and emoluments
which may belong to the position he is entitled
to for services rendered, and they cannot be re-
garded as a gift without value received in re-
turn. Those persons who would attach an in
s%ulting condition to the bestowal of q gift are of
the sort who would probably make a virtue of
paying their honest debts OF would fasten a
string to the money given in private charity.
General Grant may not be a success as a fnan-
cier, butt he receives a generals pay he has a
right to use the money as may seem to him best.
AS a matter of fact, he will probably not wasteitin
Wall street.-the is a sensible man, and one object
lesson is doubtless ~enough-but in whatever way
he may see fit to spend his income, he has a
right to do so without interference. He is a free
man, and will be placed under no newo obligations
to the American people by accepting an office to
which he is justly entitled.

Now 10rk Graph1c.
The late jim Fisk did more to demoralize the
business of this country than any other man Of
his time. He was a vulgar wretch, and if there
have been fictitious. The Spectator in millions
who operates to-day is by far his superior-he is
a quiet. well-spoken, high-toned, church-gcing
gentleman-but his business methods are quite
every instance to bring sorrow to the many,
whether he, himself, gains or loses. When
shall there be a return to the old aud safe
methodist When, rather, shall the man who is
become crazed through a%varice, through lust for
illegitimate power, through the soullessness that
invites everything for himself and insists upon
poverty and starvation for the larger portion of
the world9 Here, it seems to US, is fit subject
for the prayers of both the pulpit and the pew.

A NEW FIELD FOR sPEoTACLBs.

1t is every day more strongly borne in upon
the mind of man that he is living in a glori-
Gus age: an age of widening thought in every
direction, of noble achievements in every line
of march. Old things are daily brought to
new uses, and simple instruments bent to
complex ends. In no recent development has
this been made more conspicuously and sig
nifcantly manifest than the late discovery
that spectacles arc barriers to conversation,
weakening and d~iffusing the currents of sym
pathy which might exist between two people,
so that no two living human creatures, if
one of the two wears glasses, can
ever hope to enter into intimate and
friendly relations. Even Goethe is quoted as
having observed this fact in his day, and as
having thereupon commented that mo man
with spectacles on nose would enter into a IA
miliar conversation with a lady if he knew
that women lose all inclination to speak conf
d~entiaily with a man when they have 70 en-
counter q pan Of glass lenses instead Of a liv-
ing eye Ii this statement be true, aud it
seems to have elnansted from the most relia-
BILE sources, what an era Of improved existence
seems to open before man! 1t is true that
from one stand point the theory bears a sad
dening aspect for occasionally near sighted
people, nay, even those who are inflicted with
dQUble-baIreled astigmatisin, have been knewn

though that lady is a strong, healthy woman,
well able too cook the meals, sweep the rooms,
make the beds, wash the dishes and attend to
the children, he is compelled to do all those
things himself. He asks to be relieved from

THE New York Evening Post says of the
panic" in Wall street:
The finances of the country are distinctly I'M
der a cloud, which must operate to retard the
growth of confidence until either greater pub
liclty or a more widely distributed responsibility
is introduced into the management of great
moneyed institutions. The boss system in poll
tics has broken down. 1t is apparently breaking
down In finance also, but no good substitute for
1t has yet made its appearance. All attempts
to make directors take an active and intelligent
part IN the management of corporations have
thus far failed. Talk Of imposing stringent PEN
altles on them forremissness or ignorance is met
by the assertion that men who are the right
kind of timber for directorships will simply re-
fuse to take them in case they are made any more
onerous or perilous than they now are.
But, whatever the proper remedy may be, it
IS quite certain that a remedy will before long be

likely to be allowed to languish or be impeded
long by the difficulty of knowing whom to trust,
which is really the great difficulty Of American
finance at this moment. The tremendous oppor-
tunities for speculation which our money market
offers are not likely to pass away or be dimin-
lshed in tempting force as long as the material
growth of the country is as create as it is likely to
be for the next half century. But some means
of arming the holders of great trusts against
them more effectively than at present will assur-
edly be devised

Mr.. HENRY BERGH, the anti cruelty-to-ani-
mails man, does not hold cheerful views of life.
He says civilization has not advanced in the
last twenty five years. We stand in the same
position to-day as regards true progress as the
inhabitants of the globe stood 1000 years ago"
MIR. Bergh's reasons for this sweeping assertion,
as given at length in a recent interview, may be
summed up briefly. To the best of his belief So
ciety is going to ruin on account of universal
suffrage, which is a stupendous humbug. In
addition to the evils produced by unrestricted
suffrage, theaters are not constructed properly:
and the dressing of men and women on the stage
is shocking. When suffrage is limited, and a
censor appointed to suppress vice in theaters,
Mr.. Bergh will begin to take some stock in civil
ization- In the meantime, other citizens will
go on and elect a President and harvest tn
crops.

A DANISH father and mother arrived at Mil

of fifteen children. Each parent carried an in
FAINT in their arms, while the other thirteen were
jo..ed together by a rope tied to the arm of each.
They had been fastened in this way before leav-
ing their old home and had made the entire
journey thus fettered. This plan was doubtless
intended to guard against any strayingo off of any
of the brood, but the sagacious parents may have
reflected also that if one young one should tum
