noxn.Iown Clubs in New York.

There are more downtown clubs in
New York now. says Blakely Hall, than
there are general clubs in nearly any other
city in the country. The expenses are
not heavy, despite the high rents, for
there is only one meal of consequence a
day, and it is not necessary to have two
sets of servants in the business clubs.
The prime object of all these institutions
is to supply an eating place, where men
of position in the business and financial
world may meet for a midday meal with
out being wedged into stuffy and ILL.,
smelling restaurants along with lot Of
Office BOYS and small clerks whom they
don't care to come in contact with So
cially. The ave'age New York business
man, if his interests are large or if he
presides over an extensive establishment,
is q very autocratic and exclusive sort Of
person. He may be pleasant enough up
town, but to his employees he is very
g eat man indeed. There are more men
of the Dombey stripe in the commercial
world than people imagine. Anyone
who thinks that it is not so should 60 to
one of the big downtown clubs and OBJ
seryethesolemn, reserved. trinity dressed,
snd- indeed, rather arrogant-looking men
who float into the club at the luncheon
hour. and bow with great dignity and
stateliness to one another. The entrance
fee to the downtown clubs ranges from
$40 to SIS, and the annual dues are low.
As rule the restaurant supports the
club. The cuisine is always excellent,
and the furniture solid and substantial.
Downtown clubs never go through the
experiences with delinquent members
that rack the managers of the uptown
clubs. for no man is admitted to the clubs
below the city hall whose business integ-
rity is not above reproach, and accord
ingly the widest credit is allowed to all
msmbeTs with entire safety.

At the meeting Of the Emperors re-
Gently held at Gastein the German
Princes wore the Austrian uniform.
They have been in the habit of doing so
now for many years The Pail Aal Ga
aette says that the origin of this custom
dates from the courtesy of monarch
whose life is more associated with feats
of war than with the scrupulous OBJ
servance of the details of chamberlain's
office. In ITO Frederick the Great had
to pay visit to the Emperor Of Austria
The visit. which was rather q critical
one, was paid at the castle of Neustadt,
in Morava. It was only seven years be-
fore that Prussia had been engaged in
her great struggle with the Empire, and
bad thoroughly beaten Austria Fred
erick feared that the too familiar blue
uniform might now awaken unpleasant
memories. He did not. indeed. wish to
discard the costume which belonged to
his country, SO he discreetly adopted q
compromise. He and all his staff sp-
peared at Neustadt, not, indeed, in Aus
TRAN uniform, but in coloEs that were
not far removed from it. The coats were
white, the ornaments and facings Of
silver, and there were no epaulettes. If
It were not Austrian costume it certainly
was not Prussian. That was the pre-
cedent for a rule that now obtains. at
least on the continent, that when a
crowned head visits brother soverign's
court, he and his suite wear the uniform
of the country in which they are guests.

Marshal Bszaine led the French forces
that were to establish French foothold

country of the Zulus. Of that imperial
establishment only Eugene remains,

Several times a year, for years
past, Charlotte receives visits from
colored gentlemen calling themselves
Professors. J" They carry with
them little trunk or box containing
a show" They generally make
the rounds of the different oolored

delusion.
