Delmonlco'S reputation is far reaching
the resort of epicures, millionalres and
people from the country who have come
to ''do" New York. They have made
up their minds to spend money freely,
and find Delmonico's a fine place to do
it in. BY oIdllg all the dishes that are
out Of the season and plenty of wine,
one may spend twenty dollars there for
one meal from the menu, and eat no
more and fare little better than the
man at the next table who orders dishes
in season and pays three dollars. II
New York is cosmopolitan on a large
scale, so is DelmonicO's on a smaller
one. Wide, indeed, is the range OF
customers tastes, and there are nearly
always more than two hundred dishes
on the menu required to satisfy all de-
mands.
When a young man wishes partlcu-
larly to impress a young woman with
his %arluence or generosity he takes her
to supper at Delmonico's after the
theatre. If he mas never been there
before, the more anxious he is TO dis
play familiarity with the place, the
more he thinks every m Is watching
him, and the more he stands In awe OF
the solemn, dress coated French waiter.
and would sooner poison himself than
find fault with the viands or the ser
vice. Ii the woman feels at all over
come by her surroundings she seeks to
recover herself by getting cross and
finding fault with the whole hing.

Little Holman, and to a greater ex-
tent little Otto Hegner, gained imme-
dlate success, not because they were
clever children, but because they were
fully entitled by their talents 10 rank
with grown artists. This being the
fact, their extreme youth was of course
In their favor, in very much she same
way that on the operate stage, granted
two prfnle donne OF equal gifts, the
p~rettier girl is worth the higher salary.
In the history Of the art, the large
majority OF famous musicians were
originally prodigies. Mozart, as every
body knows, was exploited as a juvenile
phenomenon. and among the Juvenile
prodigies were Madame Schumann,
Joachim, Liszt, Rubinstein, Arabella
Goddard, Patti, Mendelssohn and hosts
of others. All these distinguished per-
sons, after making a certain mark as
children, afterward studied seriously
and assiduously, yer as little Otto
Hegner has during the autumn been
doing under Hans Huber, of Bale, and
as little Holman is now doing in Ber-
lin.

struck down the man who had lncarcer-
ated him. Passing along the streets of
London, he wondered where his family
was. He did not dare to ask lest he ex-
cite suspicion, but passing along a little
way from the prison, he saw a Keith
tdnkdrd, a cup that belonged to the
family from generation to generation
he saw 1t in a window. His family,
hoping that some day he would get clear,
came and lived as neal as they could to
the prison-house, and they set that
Keith tankark in the window, hoping
he would see it; and he came along and
saw it. and knocked at the door, and
went in, and the l~ong-a5sent family
were all together again. Oh, if you
would start for the kingdom of God to-
day, 1 think some of you would find
nearly all your friends and nearly all
your families around the holy tankard
of the holy communion = fathers,
mothers, brothers, sisters, around that
sacred tankard which commentaries
the love of Jesus Christ our Lord. Oh,

V. Once more l remark that, when
the prodigal gets back, the
INHABITANTS OF HEAVEN KEEP FEs-
TIvAL.
l am very certain of it. If you have
never seen a Geographic chart, you have
no idea how many cities are connected
together, and how many lands. Nearly
all the neighborhoods OF the earth seem
articulated, and news flies from city to
city, and from continent to continent.
But more rapidly go the tidings from
earth to heaven; and when a prodigal
returns, it is announced before the
throne Of God And if these souls this
morning should enter the kingdom,
there would be some one in the heaven.

At the banquet of Lucullus, sat
Cicero the orator: at the Macedonian
festival sat Philip the conqueror; at the
Grecian banquet sat Socrates the phil
osopher; but at our Fathers table sit all
the returned prodigals, more than con-

We owe respect to the man who,

who strives to make his narrowIess
appear broad, and his shallowness deep.
The longer we live the more We are
convinced OF the truth OF the cynical
remark of the unsuccessful painter,
that reputation is rather the outgrowth
of luck than of merit. What Haw-
thorne called the conspirlng circum-
stance rarely visits our homes, aud
when it does we are generally absent.
What we call curiosity and inquisi-

A Woman with the Iron Cross.

Boston Transcript.
1t was thought until recently that Miss
Clara Barton was the only American
woman who had received the decoration of
the Iron Cross of Prussia, but it has come
to light that the same honor has been con-
ferred upon a lady who is a native of Lex
ington, Mass, and now resides in this city.
Though an American. her name is Mary
Won Olnhauser, as she married a Prussian.
who is now dead. Mrs. Won Olnhauser
served in the civil war as a nurse, n
later served in the same capacity for the
Prussians in the Franco-Prussian war. For
her skill and bravery Emperor William
(the old EMPEROR gave her an autograph
letter of thanks and three decorations,
among them being the famous Iron Cross.
This is a Maltese cross of iron. A narrow
border of silver is seen a short distance
from the edge. Within the border the cross
is enamelled. Upon the diverse side is a
crown raised in silver and the monogram
w. A." (Wilhelm-Augustal. Upon the re-
verse the red cross appears in the center in
enamel, bordered with a delicate line of
white. The ribbon is in the familiar black
and white of Prussia.

Preventing Oysters from Suicide.

Oysters sent here from the East in a
fresh state for local consumption are gen.
orally dead when they get to this city. and
are most assuredly anything but alive by
the time the consumer gets hold of them.
Many c~optrivances have been invented for
keeping the bivalves alive while being
shipped across the country, but the only
successful plan is said to be that recently
patented by A.. A. Freeman. of Philadel-
phia. By this plan IN oyster may be taken
from the Atlantic and shipped to this coast
and have at least twenty days of life yet
remaining after his arrival here. His
method is simply to bind the oyster with a
single strand of wire, and on this plain con-
trivance Uncle Sam has granted him two
letters patent. The invention merely keeps
the oyster from committing suicide by OPEN
ing its mouth and letting in too great a
volume of air. 1t is said that a syndicate is
about to buy up the Pacific coast for wired
oysters" as they are called, and that depots
are to be established all over the country
for the distribution of live bivalves. it
being claimed that they will be in as fresh
O condition as when first taken from the
salt sea.

One Killed and Others Injured by a Falling
Wall at Spring City, Pa.-Loss 500 900.
READING, Pa, Aug. 31.-A disastrous fire
and loss of life occurred at Spring City
early this morning. Flames were discov-
cred about 1 o'clock in the rotary-room of
the American Wood : paper Company's
works by one of the employees. An alarm
was sent out and in a short time several
FIRE companies arrived on the scene. The
flames, however. spread rapidly. and be-
fore they could be checked one of the large
buildings, three stories high and filed with
valuable machinery, was completely de-
stroyed.
About 3 o'clock the wall on the north
east side bulged out, and about thirty feet
of it fell with a crash. Oliver Monshower,
aged thirty years, an employee, was instant
ly killed, and William Robinson, Charles
Seifert, William Schaefer and Henry Seaser
were more or less injured. Seifert was also
an employee, and his injuries. it is feared,
will prove fatal. Robinson is badly hurt,
but may live. The Others are not seriously
injured. The loss will reach $685. 600, COW
cred by insurance. The building will be
rebuilt at once.

Rich Fird of a California Farmer.

Fire on the farm of George Thurman,
situated five miles north of Pomona, Cal,
brought him singular good fortune. To stop
the progress of the fiery monster, which
was fast ~deyouring his stubble-tield, he
p~loughed a furrow w, and in doing so he
turned up a tin can which would hold
about half a gallon. He heard something
rattle in it, but on account of the fire could
not at that time pick it up. The fire
quenched, he returned and picked up the
can, which was terribly rusted and diff
cult to open. He found upon opening il q
large quantity of gold doubloons of a date
previous to 1S41, and several nuggets of
gold. There were also several letters writ
ten in Spanish in an excellent state of
preservation, dated March. 1857. and one in
English dated 1864 The nuggets were
found to be worth $50, while the doubloons
amounted to S6,410. The letters. which
contain no full names. a W no light as to
who buried the gold, but that it was buried
hastily there can hardly be any doubt on
account of its short distance from the sur
face of the ground. 1t is possible, also,
that the can could not be found thereafter
by the person who hid it.

Brazil Women Beautiful, but nliterate.

Detroit Free Press.
Society in Brazil is divided in three dis
tinct c~lasses-the aristocrats, the middle
and the lower classes. The ladies of the
upper class are ~undeniably beautiful.
They ave raven black hair, white teeth,
and perfect forms: and if 1T were not for the
enormous amount of plaster-of-paris enamel
with which they cover their faces they
might have lovely, creamy compilations.
But their wcndrous eyes are the chief and
never-ending charm-large, dark. lustrous
and full of expression, throwing more
meaning into a single glance than IN hours
conversation could possibly convey; for
though attractive and captivating in their
simplicity n grace, they may not be able
to write a single sentence correctly-for
the education of women is not considered
essential to their happiness. They learn
embroidery and music indifferently, and
spend their lives in rocking-chairs and
hammocks, never reading a book OF any
description.
The girls are very fond of their dolls, tax
ing them everywhere they 60, even to
church, I'M never give up playing with
them until they are married, which is gen.
orally between the ages of twelve and six
teen years, thus early assuming the impor-
tant n responsible duties of life. Young
mothers, little more than twenty, with
four or five small children, are NJ uncom-
mon sight.
