THE wIFf's CONDITION.

Mrs. Conaty is left with two children.
She is also nm delicate situation when
adds much TO sorrow of the occasion.
Her wounds number about a dozen.
They are on her face, neck, body. and
right arm and hand. Yesterday
che was resting easy on sofa with her
two children about. She was Miss
Sarah Carroll. She isyoung, handsome
and clever. Mr.. COnaty was twenty
eight years of age. lie had lived IN
Richmond since 1863. and had been
married TO his wife for five years.
Mrs. Conaty has nothing
10 say against him. They
had been happy couple until he began
to yet on spreos. then there was
change over all. lie was naturally s
good man. loving. warm-hearted, Dut
whisky got the better of him, and
finally brought about his terrible death.
lie had no relative in Richmond eN-
cent Younger brother. His father Is
said 10 have died in New York some
years ago.
For some time, some years ago.
COnaty kept bar-roOm AT the corner
of Ninth and Cary streets, where MI
Carroll set him up in business.
The tragedy cast gloom over the
section Of the city in which i, occurred.
and where all of the parties were vel
known.

A BOUQUET OF FIRE.

The Brilliant Pvrotechnic Display to be
Made in New York to Celebrate the In
auguration of President Harrison.
New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Inauguration
of President Harrison will be the occasion
of the grandest and most costly disply of
fireworks, public or private, ever seen in
America, even eclipsing the gigantic SYM
phony of colors that dashed its glories
against the sky on the night following the
opening of the Brooklyn bridge. This
exhibition will cost $1,000, and the inau-
guration committee has awarded the con-
tract and adopted the pyrotechnic pro-
gramme, which will cover an hour and a
half, beginning at eight O'Clock in the
evening. A presidential salute of aerial
maroons, exploding at a height of 500 feet,
will open the affair. 1t will close with a
simultaneous flight of $500 immense
rockets. Those who remember the swish
and roar and ruddy confagration in the
clouds when 1000 rockets were fired to-
gether from the Brooklyn bridge can get
faint idea of what the effect of
this tremendous bouquet Of fire
will be. As the thousands of large
rockets reach their highest altitude, they
will burst, and fill the air with purple,
gold, silver, crimson, emerald, carmlne,
blue and yellow and every hue and tint
that imagination can picture. as if a thou
sand rainbows were struck by lightning,
with fiery dragons and golden rain twist
ing and dropping through it all. This
will be the largest flight of rockets ever
fred in the United States. There will be
MANY other marvellous exhibitions Of
pyrotechnicS.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
Hints Gathered for Lady Readers from

Hints Gathered for Lady Readers from
the Circles of Society.
On stylish note-paper the monogram
is very large, covering in some cases
half the page.
In silks, faille F'ramcaise is now, de-
spite the popularity of MORE during
the fall, in the ascendant.
Misses evening bonnets are in pale
pink or blue tulle, with very long and
very broad ribbons of the same color.
A white flannel afternoon bonnet,
recently seen, was trimmed in white
cloth, with green velvet front, laid in
Loose folds.
Among the novelties in millinery
are bonnets covered in split zephyr
worsted, usually white, woven across
and around the crown.
Partisan milliners favor trimmings
in two or more shades of one color, and
these combinations are very tasteful,
though the effect is always quiet and
subdued.
Point d'Esprit, Guipure, Chantily and
Spanish laces are going to be seen on
many evening and reception dresses
during the gay season. Lace draperies
will be exceedingly fashionable.
Embroidery has become quite feat
ure in millinery. Usually it is done
directly upon the velvet or cloth with
which the bonnet is to be trimmed, and
the latter is then so arranged that the
embroidered portion is conspicuous.
All the really stylish dresses for the
street are accompanied by muffs, made
of the same material as the dress and
trimmed with ribbons similar to those
used upon the bonnet-that must also
be in keeping with the dress-and
sometimes even the plumes used upon
the bonnet are reproduced on the
muff.
A neat child's costume is in brown
cashmere of fine quality. There is a
full blouse of this material, allowing a
plated, pointed vest OF surah to APP
pear, and over both is a jacket OF
cashmere, at the edges of which ap-
pear the edges of a simulated jacket
of plush-striped faille. Cuffs and col
lar are Of the latter, and kind OF I'M
derskirt of the same shows beneath
the s'pinked" skirt of cashmere. ~

Description of an Entertainment Given

Description of an Entertainment Given by
Parsee Nobleman.
Perhaps no race of people is less
known or more interesting to the stu
dent and traveller than the Parsees or
Fire-W orshipers of India. They are
delightful hosts, and, as it was my
good fortune to form the acquaintance
of Sir Framgee Demshaw Petit. who
was knighted for gift of 100000 to
an educational institution, l will en-
deavor to describe an entertainment /
attended at his palace. Sir Framgee
lives in patriarchal magnificence, and
when his whole family is seated at Ia
BILE they number fifty-five. We were
received in the grand drawing-rOOm,
as large as fair-sized church, and
presented to the ladies' We found them
pretty, intelligent and vivacious. and
it is no exaggeration to say that they
compared quite favorably with their
American sisters. The ladies were at
tired in graceful native costumes. The
dress consisted of waist, such
as is worn by Europeans, with a long
scarf of embroidered silk, or Grape,
called sarre, wrapped several times
around the waist and falling in broad
folds about the limbs in lieu of a skirt.
One end of the sarre was brought over
the head and dropped gracefully in
front, constituting a very effective
head dress. Their jewels were mag
nificent. No crowned head of Europe
possesses their equal, and such an ar
ray of diamonds, pearls, sapphires,
and emeralds can scarcely be imag-
ined. One of the guests wore eight
strings of pearls, which far exceled the
celebrated necklace of Queen Mar
guerite of Italy. The state costume
of the men is white, but on ordinary
occasions they appear attired in the
conventional evening dress. One pc
culiarity of their costume is not, how
ever, to be met in London drawing
room. They never uncover their
heads, and a high, conical Persian
hat, or, at meals, skull cap, always
completes their dress.
On the occasion am describing an
orchestra played selections from
italian operas, and, after conversing
awhile upon topics of universal inter-
est, our host made a sign to the serv-
ants, who brought in baskets filed
with large bouquets of Eastern flowers.
Each lady selected one, sprinkled it
with rose-water from tall silver vase,
presented it to the gentleman who was
to escort her to dinner, and then, TAX
ing his arm, she led the way to where
a table was spread, overlooking the
yea.
There we were RECALLED with tea,
coffee, cakes, fruits and twenty-five
kinds of delicious native sweets, which
had been collected in honor of our
coming. 1t was an event not to be
forgotten. The waving palms and
tropical flowers, the splash cot the
waves, mingling with the soft strains
of music, the beautiful women with
their flashing jewels and graceful
dress, were typical of the languid
dreamy East, and carried one uncon

Last year there were 5.315 d.
vorces granted in France. The de-
mands were largely made by the wives,
and those who had been married from
five to ten years were the most numer-

granted of couples who had celebrated
their golden weddings.
In the last administration report
of the Island of Dominica, the Presi-
dent estimates the original Carib
population at about three hundred, or
something under that figure. The
children are healthy, and the numbers
of Caribs. according to their own ac-
counts, are not decreasing, but they
are gradually becoming so intermixed
with the negroes that the pure Carib
will soon be non-existent.

The Lancet states that medical
missionary nearly lost his life through
an outburst of fana -icism at FoochOo,
China. 1t seems that the doctor, who
was attending patient with hemor-
rhage, Immediately proceeded to check
the latter, in disregard of a native SUI
perstition, according to which delay
should have been made until the pa
tents friends had finished consulting
the gods in the joss-house. The pa
tient died, and the Chinese would have
boiled the doctor in Oil but for the
courage of some of the converts.
The report of the Postmaster-Gen-
eral shows that the number of letters
posted in England last year equals
forty-one letters per head of popula-
ton. There was a large increase in
the number of kilograms, so that the

is likely to be a success, after all, in
spite of the official forebodings. The
number of messages sent was 53,OOO.-

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
GRANDMA'S LITTLE BOY.

"Her little boy grows up so fast
Said Grandma, that, some sunny day
He'll wake, and be man, at last
And wander from her far away
Oh then what shall his poor old Grandma dor
"Don't worry" said he, I'm take care of you T
IT fear her boy may soon forget"
Sighed Grandma those who love him here,
And leave them with scarce one regret,
May be without one sigh tear"
A tender look beamed in his eyes of blue;
He whispered: Grandma TIL take care OF
you"
"But Grandma will be very old,
And only in the way, she Fears
His chubby arms her neck infold,
His earnest eyes are full of tears
"And oft we give the old love for the newt"
"But Grandma" said he, III take care OF
you!
"I'll build for you house so fine;
And you shall have six easy-chairs;
Dozens OF servants when you dine,
And lots of comforts everywheres!"
While Grandma smiled at him, her knitting
through,
'Don't fret" said he for I'll take care OF
you.''
Dear Grandma softly shades her eyes
The sunlight, may be, makes them weep;
Close to her heart her darling lies,
Rocked in a calm and gentle sleep.
And kisses fall upon the lips, so true
That said Don't worry; I'll take care of your
