There are few men in public life more
scrupulous in keeping appointments than
Chauncey NJ. Depew. That much court
ed gentleman, IS a general thing, is I'M
able to accept one-third Of the invita-
lions that he receives, but after he has
accepted an invitation to attend a meet
ing, a banquet or n ball nothing but sick
ness'will prevent his keeping the engage
ment. Occasionally he fnds himself
booked" for two or three engagements
on the same evening, and he manages to
get around on time and make n pleasant
impression at each place. A few nights
ago he had two dinners and a private re-
ception on his hands.
One dinner was at the Union League
club and the other at Delmonico's. Mr..
Depew made the principal speech at
each. One evening he went to Yonkers
and delivered an citation on the occasion
Of the opening of a new building. He
came back [ this city, and reached Del
monico's in time 10 take a prominent
part in the Patriarchs' first ball Of the
season. Doubtless the fact that Mr.. De
pew never allows himself to fret about
anything explains how he can fill two or
three important engagements in an even
ing, and appear IN each occasion fresh.

Count Herbert Bismarck, after spend
ing FIVE weeks with different friends in
England has arrived in Paris. He has
chiefly in search OF "distractions,"
which was also his object north Of the
channel. Whether tho search has been
so far successful is more than doubtful,
as he is looking n sad and depressed
man, wearing the appearance Of one
from whom the tide has flowed. An old
friend with whom he had been convers-
ing last evening was heard to remark
after he went away that he was not up
to date, and seemed hardly to take in
what is going on in any part of Europe,
or what has gone on since he dropped
out of politics.
In this connection the person l quote
observed: "How wonderfully soon a

1t can SAFELY be assumed that every
statement made by Koch himself is true
and accurate. He has gone no further
than is justified by the actual scientific
facts. With this assumption, no one
can doubt tbIt Koch has made one Of
the most important discoveries in the
history of medicine. If it be true that
''phthisis in the beginning can be cured
with certainty" it is possible, if not
probable, that consumption may be
cured in the later stages by supplement-
ing the injections by general hygienic
measures Of treatment, antiseptic inha-
lations n so on, which have already
been found useful.
The direct value Of the discovery of a
means 81 curing a disease which Is re-
sponsible for one tenth of the deaths
from al causes. including violence, is
indeed great: but the Imagination al
most fails To graspth importance of the
method extended to Other diseases pro-
duced by miCIO-urgan4sns. II We know
the exact mechanism OF the cure for con-
sumption. 1t i certain that we shall soon
be able to successfully apply this knowl-
edge to the study Of other diseases.
1t Is possible, in the light OF what has

1t was recently suggested that electric
al night schools be established in vari-
on cities for the benefit Of those who
desired to become familiar with electric
al subjects. but who were fully occu-
pied during the day. Columbia college
is about to put into practice a moditica
ton Of this idea, and its president, DR..
Seth Low, states that it proposes TO have
a curse of evening lectures, illustrated
by experiments, on the practical appli
cations of electricity. DR.. Low, while
favoring the idea of night schools in
electricity. under certain conditions. is
of opinion that, in some cases where
they are practicable. a course of evening
lectures can be given with very great

There was a wedding at Westport
yesterday, and the welded couple started
in one of Perry's landaus to take the
5;45 train from New Bedford. When
near Bliss corner one of the horses was
affected with paralysis, and a message
was sent to the stable for a relay. On
the arrival of a fresh horse the disabled
animal was left by the roadside and the
journey was resumed. In order to ac-
commodate the party the train was held

This is the time to lay in a stock OF
calendars. The railroad companies vie
with the insurance companies in getting
out handsome calendars. The drug
manufacturers monopoly of the almanac
business is only disputed by a few news
paper publishers.
1--WE are oyerrun with applicants for
calendars" said a veracious insurance
agent yesterday, land if we had 2 ,000. 900
calendars we would give them all away
inside of two weeks. Women are the
most persistent applicants, and if we re-
fuse their requests they'll return the
next day and ask for blotters. Some ap-
p~licants are very nervy, and will ask for
one of Zach kind, and if we give the ap-
plicant a handsome souvenir ten to one
he or she will ask for another for her pa
or ma or big brother. They come in
droves at all hours, and we encounter
quite a number who boldly announce
themselves as collectors of calendars.
The calendar business at this time of
the year is n decided nuisance. 1t is a
poor advertisement, too" buffalo Elk

BELLIES OF THg BIBLE.
Much the Same Ornament. and style of
Dress in solomon's Time as Now.

Much the Same Ornaments and style of
Dress in solomon's Time As Now.
1t is an interesting fact and to a great
extent true hat the style Of dress and
ornaments of the ladies of the present
day is much the same as in the time of
Solomon. With the many changes of
centuries, the graduation of chignons
and crinolines, much of the simple
grace and easy symmetry of ancient
Greece has taken their place in the
Nineteenth century.
The Scriptures narrate a great many
things about the style of dress worn in
the time of Solomon. In the law of
Moses directions are given concern
ing the garments worn by the Israel
ties. In the Book of Judges the girls
Of that period are described by De-
borah as "a prey of divers of needle
work.
Lemuel says, Their clothing is Of
silk and purple"
In the frequent intercourse between
the Jewish and other natives the ladies,
tired of their primitive simplicity,
sought the fashions of the clever Egypt
ians, the elegant Ph9nicians, and the
luxurious Persians. Even the patient
Job became impatient at 50 much
dressing and thought of the adorn-
ment of the person, and fsaiat- de
nounces the women of the period
living for nothing but dress and tiirta-
ton, with their great desire to "see and
be seen"
The tunic spoken of in the time of
King Solomon was very much like the
polonaise of the present time. The
belts and fancy girdles and clasps and
buckles are the same thing as the
leather girdles and silver buckles worn
in the Bible times. We also find
recorded the fact that trains were worn
TO dresses, and that camels' hair shawls
were common among the ladies of that
age. Embroidered mantles are also
mentioned, and they were fastened with
gold pins. Tie hair must have been
quite deliberately dressed to judge from
Bible descriptions, and many orna-
ments were worn. 1t was oiled, dyed
and put up in coils. Little curls were al
lowed to hang loose over the forehead,
and strange as it sounds the young
ladies of Solomon's time used paint 10
make their cheeks red.
Wells were worn, and the sandals
were made of blue and violet colored
leather with fancy loekets.
Solomon. it is related, said to Shu-
lamite: How beautiful are thy feet
with shoes, o, princes daughtersl"
Thin nets were worn and earrings of
great value were commonly used.
Bracelets were worn upon the right
arm instead of the left, strings of
pearls and heavy gold chains around
the neck, rings on the fingers and
other ornaments were fashionable.
There are many bellies spoken of by
women in the Bible, and the history of
some of their owe stories is very touch
ing.
The beauty of the women of that
time is often mentioned, and life must
have been much as it is now among the
young people. If you will examine the
Scripture to find anything used at the
present day which is still called by the
old timed naInes you will almost inva-
find the same article mentioned
somewhere in the Bible. There is in
deed little that is new under the sun.-

WHAT excuse can Senators Warren and
Carey give to their constituents for their
shameful conduct in voting against free
coinage? II it had been supposed that
Wyoming would elect gold-bug senators.
the senate would not have consented to the
admission of that territory as a state last
summer.-Denver Republican.
In this conclusion we do not agree With
our Denver contemporary. The i'm
preston is growing here that this was
part Of the deal with the gold bugs aud
that Carey really sold out his constituency
to advance his own private ambitions. As
to Warren he is completely under the
thumb OF Senator Sherman. As a Re
publican expressed it last night: Hes
been pouring oil into our ears for some
time and now he's got 10 with a gang

Henry Clay enjoyed among various
distinctions that of being the youngest
man ever elected to the United States
senate. He had not reached the con-
stitutional limit of age-30 years
when elected, but had just passed it
when he took his seat. Franklin Pierce
was only 80 when he was elected. Mr..
Irby, the s~enator-elect from South Caro-
lima, will be the youngest member of
the next senate, as Senator Morrill, will
be the oldest.
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, is, however,
not yet 40, and other senators 90 years
of age and under are: Wolcott, AZ; Gray,
90; Higgins, so; Spooner, A; Aldrich, 40
Pettigrew, AZ; Daniel, As; Allen, AS
Faulkner, 40, and Kenna, 40. The av-
erage age of the senators will be consid-
erably lower in the next congress than
it has been for several years.-BuiSalo
