Peacock Throne of Delhi.

The finest and most costly piece Of
furniture ever conceived was the ia
nous peacock throne" of Delhi,
Tavernier, a skillful French jeweler,
saw it, and made a computation as to its
intrinsic value. He calmly estimated
that its nominal worth, aside from its
claims in an artistic way, was $50, OOO,-
600. 1t was but six feet high and four
feet broad, but it was composed of solid
gold inlaid with rare oriental gems. It
received its name from the jeweled i'm
ages ofpeacock which adored its canopy
This canopy was also of gold, sup
ported on twelve gold pillars, and
hung all round with firing of
pearls. On each side of the throne
stood two chuttahs or umbrellas, SYM
bolical of royalty. They were made
of crimson velvet, embroidered with
gold thread and pearls, and we're
equipped with solid gold handles, and
diamonds. This throne was construct
ed by Austin de Bordeaux, at the order
of Emperor Shah Jehan, the same en-
terprising monarch who had construct
ed the TAI, the pearl mosque of Agra
and the other most remarkable monu-
ments Of architecture in these parts.
The peacock throne was carried away
the Persian Nadir Shah, while the lew
eled ceiling was melted down by the
Mahrattas at the time of their invasion
in 1859. This ceiling was valued at
about 1850 900.

Sinful but Patriotic,

Mr.. Emory Storrs, of Chicago, was
dining recently in London at Minister
Lowelrs, and near him sat the Duke of
Argyll, who during the conversation,
expressed surprise that Chicago should
have treated Oscar Wilde-'a man
whom we think nothing of, if we think
Of him at all''-so we'll. Its all a
mistake, your grace" replied Mr.. Storrs,
eve had nothing to do with Wilde in
Chicago ''But certainly read in the
New York and Boston papers long &C.
counts of his reception IN your city. "
True, your grace" answered the Chi
cago lawyer; "but the recent growth
of Chicago has made it the metropolis
of the United States, and all the sea-
board cities are jealous of her, and say
spiteful things about her." Mr.. Lowell,
of Boston, was about to interject re-
mark just here, but Mr. Storrs silenced
him with significant look. After the
meal, and ON the way upstairs, the
American Minister touched Mr.. Storrs
arm, and whispered: "You got out of
that very we'll, Storrs. Sinful, but pa
triOtic.

Senator Hawley's Wife,

Mrs. J. R. Hawley is said to be one
of the most remarkable women of the
day. When Joe Hawley went to the
front in the late unpleasantness, says
the Washing ton Capital, his wife went
to the hospital to nurse soldiers. She
went to Washington aud served as a
volunteer nurse in the Armory Square
hospital, of which DR.. Bliss was sur
geon- charge. The nurses were all
volunteers, but the difference between
services at this hospital and that in
hospitals controller by Miss Dix was
that at Armory Square the pay of the
nurses went into fund to provide
special diets for the patients. The
nurses signed the payroll, but never
saw the money, They knew all about
this regulation before going. in, and
volunteered to give service without
compensation. OF course, Mrs. Hawley
could afford this, though there were
niless.

Mrs. Grant tho Family Financier.

~~~ SA>eJ 34ss~ssS3VS.
Letter from Galena: Gen. Grant
was never good hand to look
after money matters. He used to
say, my wife is the financier of the
family" and this was literally true, Is
was demonstrated by the admirable
manner in which she managed affairs
when the generals salary in his fathers
leather store at Galena was only $40 q
month. Brought up refined lady and
accustomed to all the commoner luxur-
les of life, she found herself, on her ar.
rival here from St. Louis, in circum-
stances that would have terrified most
women reared under similar circum-
stances. With a devotion which char
acterizes the true wife and mother, she
get herself to work, and soon had q
model little home, which was to her and
her family an earthly paradise. Her
management when Ulysses entered the
army ,penniless (being compelled even to
borrow the money with which to buy an
outfit, was characterized by the same
shrewdness and tact, and as her husband
advanced step by step, she so managed
his financial affairs as to fit the upward
gradations in life he was rapidly reach
ing. A few months ago, when Gen.
Grant last visited his Galena home, he
said in my presence: my wife runs our
New York house, and no other woman
in the universe could do it better than
she. I give her ST 900 a month and ask
no questions. do not live in anything
like princely style, but there are but
few men who are compelled to keep up
the appearances that circumstances
have forced upon me of late years, that
have more to be proud of than myself,
and leave it all to my wife who runs our
household affairs herself, keeping the
strictest account of expenses and super
intending every department of the fami-
ly establishment"
