Linen for the dining, tea, and toilet

and preservedand handed down from

these beautifully executed embroid-
cries, reserved until now exclusively
for the use Of the toilet and bed room
are employed now for the dining
table; sets of damask table linen

BISMARCK'S POWER.

\ recent cablegram announces that
it is rumored in Paris, Bismarck in
duced China to conclude the treaty
which gives France all she asks in
Tonquin. 1t is quite probable the
astute chancellor interested himself
IN the matter. As is we'll said by an
exchange he may have ~foreseen that
a war would result VIGOROUSLY for
France, and so preferred to give the
French what they desire without a
struggle which would initiate their
pride and infiame their thirst for
other conquests. 1t may have been
his opinion, too, that 1t would be bet
ter to have the French employ their
surplus energy iD q remote region
rather than in exploits nearer home.
Whatever his motive, Bismarck is
believed to have counselled China to
yield, and the diplomats of the world
are beginning to query what policy
he Will pursue in the conference of
u powers to be held in London next
month to consider the EGYPTIAN
problem. At the present momenthe
is the master mind of Europe, as far
as ne has ventured to exercise his |
power, and it remains to be seen |
what advantage he can extort from
conference in which the inter-
ests Of England will be foremost. He
has plainly shown that his attention
'as been attracted to Africa, and the
conference is likely to
Indicate somewhat as to the future of
Congo country as well as that OF

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

The New York Stakeholder of the
18th inst. in speaking of the recent
!anic in Wall Street gives some very
sensible advice to business men. Its
warning may be profitably needed
by Others than those who confine
their operations to the great money
center Of New York. Under the
caption: Don't Lose Your Head
that journal says: I'VE do not UNI
derrate the importance of any man
OF the loss of his money, but we can
not over-estimate the calamity re-
sul,ing from the loss Of his head. A
mans fortune while intact might be
described as q monument erected in
honor of his brain; but when the
balance to the latter is lost, his scat
tered wealth merely represents the
ruin which in an hour of weakness
he has wrought. What was builded
up in a decade, or a quarter OF q
century, is destroyed in q day.
The bank presidents of this city
have lost their heads. They aud the
sensational newspapers, are response
BILE for the panic. The former, in
stead of being equal to q great emer-
gency, were overw helmed by 1t, the
latter. instead of attempting to
ouench the smoldering fire, added
fuel and created a draft by which the
volume of the fame was enlarged,
and its fury increased. Banks that
with avidity on Northwest ut

par. They were glad to loan 100 on
st. Paul when it sold at 12, but
not loan % OF it yesterday.
Both properties are intrinsical'y
