Gigantic Lilies Worn by English Girls.

From the London Truth. -. ..-... -'. .
We went recently to the CONVEX
sazione given by the Academicians at
Burlington House. The crowd was.
something terrific; nevertheless, the
sight was highly effective.
AS to the dresses, they were of ais
sorts and descriptions; few only, I
am thankful to say, being noticeable
by their absurdity.
The show of diamonds and pearls
was a show indeed, Lady Henry Len
nox being especially conspicuous.
The show, however, of the evening
was provided by a couple Of young
girls. They We're apparently alone.
but, in order that their twin solitude
should not pass unnoticed the ONE
wore a bunch of gigantic lilies, which
stuck straight up in the air from her
waist, while the other had her left
shoulder completely obscured by an
enormous poppy.

General Grants Last Speech.

At the annual meeting of the San
itary and Christian commissions, at
Ocean Grove, August 2, 1884, General
Grant was present. He was introduc-
ed to the large audience and said:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: Under all
circumstances it is difficult matter
for me to speak, and how much more
difficult under the present circum-
stances. An hour ago l might have
said something about the Sanitary
and Christian commissions. / wit
messed the good DONE They did q
great deal by way of consolation,
writing letters to friends at home for
the sick and wounded, and found where
their dead were buried. l hope you
are all having a good time here, to-
day. l appreciate * ," and here
the voice of the great general was
hushed in sobs, and he sank into his
chair weeping profusely. He was still
q great sufferer from the broken tendon
of his leg, and the financial crash on
Wall street, which had just swept away
all of his life's savings and imperiled
his good name, over which he was very
sensitive, and this his first cordial
greeting since his calamities was too
much for the manly heart to endure
without tears of gratitude. 1t was
the only time the "hero of many bat
tles'' was known to shed tears before
an audience though often called to
speak. The audience wept like children
and for some moments silence brooded
over the vast assembly.
This was General U. S. Grants last
speech before large public assembly.
1t will be remembered by thousands
for years to come.

EOW QUININE is USED.
Made the Basis for More Than Three
fourths of the Prescriptions Put Up by
Druggists.

fourths of the Prescriptions Put Up by
Druggists.
New York Mail and Express
IF all drugs of the pharmacopeia, ex-
cept opium and quinine could be
dumped into the sea, believe mankind
would be the gamer in more ways than
one"
1t was in this strain that an old-school
physician expressed his disgust for the
healing art in the presence of report
er for the Mail and Express.
"Then you consider opium and qui-
nine the staple drugs.
"Assuredly. Quinine especially so.
More than hree-fourths of all the pre-
scriptions written to-day have for their
basis quinine It is used as tonic, as
sedative, as an irritant, as an antiph
logistic, in fact, can not say what it is
not used for. Why, the advertisements
of the druggists show conclusively that
it is the most important drug known.
You can read everywhere, Great re-
uuCtlOuS Ill QuIuIue
"And have these great reductions
been made in price, the quality or the
weight ?"
"ln the price without doubt. You
can buy the best article now for 81 an
ounce. Ten years ago the same article
sold for $5. Half that sum has been
paid for it within the past five years. !"
"Then the demand is falling Off"
"On the contrary, the demand is
greater than ever. The real cause OF
the reduction is, [ think. the throwing
.of immense lots of the drug upon the
market. When Congress removed the
ten per cent. duty, the surplus of the
foreign market was rushed over here.
Then, too, the failures of Alexander
Bochringer & Co.. the largest manu-
facturers of quinine in the world, and
G. c. C.-Myer Il Co., the largest dealers
in chinchona bark, have had much to do
with lessening the prices. In conse-
squence of those and other failures there
is no less than 100000 pounds of quin-
inc in London which will soon be forced
to sale by brokers who have advanced
money upon it and took the drug as
collateral.
''Then quinine VIII be cheaper still ?"
'"I think not. Bottom has been
reached and before long poor 'fever'n
ager' patients will have to pay for their
quinine. The estimated product of
quinine of the world, l believe, is l.
100000 pounds year. Counting that
it takes thirty-six pounds of bark to get
one pound of quinine, this would neces-
state the gathering of $4,000, 900 pounds
of bark. I understand, however, that
there is Mexican bark which yields
the same amount of quinine to one
half the amount of bark, and if this is
so prices may not go up so quickly as
they otherwise would. Though called
the Peruvian bark, that from which
quinine is made does not necessarily
.come from Peru. Much of it comes
from Ceylon, Liberia and Java, and it
lis limited that before long it will be
successfully cultivated in the United
States"
els the bark expensive?"
''9It varies in price from 25 cents to 81
an ounce. But besides quinine, which
is the fifth essence of the bark, cinchona,
and other products arc got
ten from it. Until recently Germany
and Italy we're the greatest producers
of qslin1ne but at present the leading
manufactures in the world are located
in Philadelphia.

THE DeGRAFF CASE.

The Coroner's Jury Charges the Rail
way Company With CareIessness.
The inquest on the death of Louis A. De
Graaf was concluded by Coroner Bradish
yesterday. Several witnesses, including the
conductor, engineer and fireman of the train
which caused his death, were sworn. After
hearing the evidence the jury agreed on a
verdict which, after stating the facts in re-
gard to the manner in which deceased met
his death. states that, in the opinion of the
jury, the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee
Railway Company did not use sufficient
care and caution to prevent the occurrence
of such accidents as caused the death of Mr..
DeGraaf.
The conductor of the train testified that at
the time of the accident his train was run
ming at the rate of eighteen miles per hour,
while the engineer and fireman placed the
speed at fifteen miles per hour. Geo. C..
Cole testified that the presence of the box
car on the side-track and standing partly in
the street was responsible for DeGraaf's =
DEATH that if the box car had not been
there the team would not have been struck
by the train.

SENSATIONAL MARRIAGE.
A Yale College Youth and Laundry
Girl Welded and Parted.

NEw HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 1S.-A month
ago Frank Tuttle, the cook of the Yale Club,
met pretty Annie Mckenzie, laundry girl,
and fell violently in love with her, and last
night they were married. To-day he said:
Il married her last night and gave her $3.50,
and in twenty minutes she had gone" The
wife said to-day, Il married him last night
but shall aeyer live with him. He promised
To give me $500 if / would marry him,
but he gave me only 500. This
amount ! am going to hold on to. .
This morning the newly married pair went
~ Hartford. He tried TO arrest her. but the
depot policeman told him he could arrest
any other woman, but his wife he could not.
Then Tuttle said lugubriously ''ske is gone
and so is my money. will go back TO New
Haven and go to work" Before he started
for Hartford he took big jug of whisky,
presumably to drown his sorrow. When he
reached this city he was drunk and was al
once taken TO the station house.

THE RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
The First Baptist Church Parts with
its Pastor Reluctantly.

Ii having been previously announced that
a special business meeting. 10 take action
upon the resignation of their pastor, would
be held In connection with the regular
prayer meeting, large number of the men,
bers of the First Baptist church and society
assembled In the session rooms of the
church last evening. Several persons, not
members of the church. but probably inter
ested in the action the church was about 10
first 70 last, was one of harmony, solemnity
and perfect good feeling, aud anyone pre-
sent expecting anything to the contrary was
disappointed. DR.. Graves opened the exer-
cises with scripture reading, prayer. and re-
marshall bearing upon the line of Chris
tian fellowship, unity, harmony and progress
of the church. Deacon Buchanan was
called to preside over the business portion of
the meeting. DIR. Graves gave plainly and
earnestly his reasons for rendering his resig-
nation, which were substantially the same as
those set forth in his letter of resignation
heretofore published in The TELEGRAM. He
emphasized the fact that he had given the
subject thoughtful and prayerful study and
he was convinced the time had come when
another could better serve the church, insur-
ing its growth, developing its usefulness,
than himself; that il was for the church,
interest he asked the resignation to be ac-
cepted. He had labored zealously many
years, as pastor. for the welfare of this peo-
pie and should retire from its ministry with
only the most loving memories, never ceas-
ing to pray and hope for the progress and
welfare of the church and society. The Doc
tor further said he was so positively assured
the step was for the best interest of the
church and he wished every member to vote
for the acceptance of the resignation.
Several members spoke, deeply regretting
the Doctors action and giving testimony
of the love and respect they bore him,
but adding the hope, as they believed the
resignation was rendered in perfect honesty
and its acceptance looked for by DR.. Graves.
that the same be accepted; but not without
first assuring their faithful pastor it was
done with sorrow and regret. The vote of
| the church was then taken, and the result
| upon a second ballot, was nearly unanimous
| for the acceptance. No parting of pastor
and people has eyer been, or will probably
ever be more difficult. or moro regretted than
this separation of the First Baptist Church
and DR.. Samuel Graves. 1t is a universal
| opinion that he has been a devoted, earnest
upright pastor, not wanting in any of the
graces that go to make up a true Christian
character and minister. The date of the
separation of pastor and people was not
fixed, but it is thought by many it will not
occur until about the time of the May con.
ference at Saratoga.
