War Library.

One of the sights of Berlin "a sight,
more known, perhaps, to strangers than
to natives) is the KFiegsbibliothek,
which contains all known works printed
during and since the war of 1870 and
1871 having direct relation to that COM
paign. The extensive collection OF
books and pamphlets is remarkably in
teresting. The works range from the
portly volumes compiled by the general
staff to two-page descriptions of single
battles and seiges. The war reports OF
foreign correspondents are of especial
value, as they include versions coming
from the opposite camps. There are
moreover, maps and plans of all battle
fields, with representations Of marches
and sieges, also collections of debates in
the Reichstag, diplomatic documents,
etc. Biographies Of Princes, Generals,
and other prominent ~personages wins
fgurein the history of the period, and
great bundles Of poetry and musica
| compositions are also to be found in thu
library, while Photographic reproduc
tions of paintings bearing upon the wa
are contained in numerous portfolios
Caricatures and humorous pictures form
not the least interesting part of the col
lection.

Earthquake Sounds.

In answer to your correspondent, who
asks in the last number of Science, for
som explanation of the sounds which
often precede and accompany an earth
quake shock, I would offer the following

Fashion Notes.

Seal plush is the rival of seal and
otter.
Pale pink wales prove to DO more be-
coming han red ones.
In the new dresses the seams of the
waists are whaleboned.
Rcd and brown is the favorite color
combination for children.
Little girls are wearing their skirts a
little longer than last season.
Cora, brooches, neck laees, and brace
lets are revived for full dress.
Hairpins of shell have handsome
heads set with imitation jewels.
White astrakhan is used for little
children's sets o f,muf and collar.
In frocks, basques and mantles the
shoulder seams are made very short.
For elderly ladies' gray watered silk is
combined with black cashmere in gowns.
Plain Jerseys are seen no more, being
unbecoming except to e perfect fig
ure.
The tape stripe among the new wool
lens looks as if it had been sewed ON the
fabric.
Fine smoked pearl buttons are from
four to six dollars a dozen, and very
stylish.
Long pale plush is very stylish for
trimming. Tho longest is fully three
inches long.
Heavy double faced wooden cloths are
fashionable, and some of them are very
soft and pliable.
Drapery sleeves are still proving them
selves more and more fashionable as the
winter advances.
Among the pretty fabrics for evening
wearere the e nsse pattern dresses
embroidered In eolors.
Jackets Of full jet beads are worn IN
second mourning over Iustreless piacN
surah or gros grain silk.
Bonnets of soutache braid are quite
stylish aud appropriate as an accompanl-
ment to wooden costumes.
Large circular cloaks arr worn in Lon
don. and 10 consequence it is probable
they will ere long cross the water.
Beautiful wraps of sparkling jetted
fabrics are trimmed with fluffy feather
trimmings, thick with glittering jets.

wraps, and q little too long in the front

Nero York,s Ghetto.

The Ghetto of this city, which has sell
dom been described, embraces a large part
of the Tenth ward. It is bounded by East
Broadway, the Rowery, Stanton and
Ridge streets, and is as dirty and
repellent as is easy to conceive. Most OF
the Jews inhabiting it are Poles, Bohemi-
ans and oth"r representatives of the
Slavonic races, who have come to this
country within fifteen or twenty years.
They continue to come in groves, in.
telligence of the great republic. its free
dom and its advantages for the common
people having but recently reached the
European region of their occupancy.
They are queer looking immigrants on
arrival, wearing either slouched crown
less hats or tall brimless hats, high,
rough boots. long gabardines and soiled,
well-worn coats, and trousers of singular
pattern. They carry their luggage in
bundles; usually have wives with a NUM-
Der of children, all literally garnished
with dirt. They bring with them very
little money as a rule, but most of them
have jewelry of considerable value. On
! landing they go Immediately 10 the
ghetto, where kindred or friends
have preceded them and fixed
their abode. There about 65, 900
to 10, 900 of the 90, 900 s!av Jews of
; the city vegeta'e in packed and loath-
some quarters, eating uuwholesome food
and clothed in filthy rags. The dis
trict was once inhabited by the Irish,
who were crowded out by the more
thrifty Germans, who have in turn been
expelled by the slavs. These occupy
almost exclusively Division, E sex, Hes
ter, Ludlow, Norfolk and Forsyth
streets, which they fill day and night
with a medley of strange tongues, pre-
vincial dialects that only they and theirs
can understand. The ghetto is a city by
itself, as far removed in character from
Broadway an Fifth avenue as is their
ancient dwelling place between Save and
Brave. They have their own shops,
hideous boarding houses, ten persons
sleeping in one, loom often, music halls,
and even their Oriental theatre in the
Bowery, where Old Testament subjects
are presented on the stage. Everything
in the ghetto is cheap, dirty and revolt
ing, but curious as a study, illustrating
the cosmopolitan character of New
York. Our citizens explore, when
abroad, the ghettos of Frankfort, Rome,
Prague, Vienna. and speak Of their sim
gular features; but they never visit and
never thing of the ghetto at home, o.
whose very existence, indeed, many Of
them are ignorant.-New York CONNER
