Correspondence Of ne IBiladeiphiG Amettcdb
"Let me see, - said the tailor, while his
lead pencil was busy on a sheet of wrap
ping paper "The full dress coat is $780,
the trousers S25, the chapeau $50, the belt
SIS, the sword SIS, the sword knot $3.50
and the epaulets SS5. Probably you are
surprised at the cost of the cpauets.
Every one is. But look at them. They
are OF solid gold-that is, these seventeen
tassels are made of iine-spun gold, and
the frame is made of gold alloy. You
can buy epaulets up to $500 pair. They
all come from London, where one man.
Starkey, spent million dollars in build
ing the plant TOR making this gold wire.
The late Admiral Porter spent $3.50 for
his epaulets, and then didn't think them
fine enough.
But to go on with the inventory, the
social full dress coat is SOL the trousers
$25, and the vest 50. The undress coat Is
$50 the trousers SIG, and the vest 80, or
SS1 the suit, and as you want two suits
that will be $l6S. Your service suit is 1856
for the blouse, SIS for the trousers, 80 for
the vest, or $G0in all. Two suits will be
Sl20. Three white suits of duck at $40 are
Sl20. The overcoat is $50. Your black
evening dress suit is $75 Your two cuta-
way suits 500. Your Prince Albert $50.
Your cap $3.50, and your gray helmet
$3.50. If my figures are right the total is
$l03650."
"a pretty big bill, suggested.
"1es, but not as big as we sometimes
have. Last week an officer spent 81, 300
in uniforms alone. A few years ago we
made an admirals full dress uniform
that cost him an even 800 as he stood in
it at White House reception. His full
dress coat was $l75 one of the finest gar
ments it is possible for the sartorial art to
turn out. His epaulets were 5000, his
obapeau $50, his trousers SIS, his sword
knot $40, his sword belt 500 and his
sword 500.
This is rather expensive tailoring"
continued Mr., Heiberger, for several
reasons. First, the material must be of
the best that is made; the cut and fit
must be perfect. Then the work is of a
particular character. Everything must
be lust So in order to answer the require
ments of the regulations. A variation of
a hairs breadth in the width of cuff
band, or in the distance at which one but
ton is placed from another, gets our Gus
toner into trouble"

dent had not made any bad breaks |
thought it was safe, so at Johnson City,
Tenn, strolled off to look at the town.
Pretty soon here comes Russ running
after me with his tongue hanging out.
We went back to the car, where grizzly
old ex Confed was making speech and
literally wiping up the ground with the
President.
The President had overdone the taffy
business. eve haVea common heritage"
he said. THE Confederate soldier has a
full and ungrudged participation in all
the benefits of great and just Govern
ment" The old Confed reminded the
President that according to the Revised
Statutes mo person who has served in
any capacity in the military. naval or civil
service of the so-called Confederate States,
or of either of the States in instruction
during the late rebellion, shall be ap-
pointed to any position in the Army of
the United States, and he went on to re-
mind Harrison that when he, Harrison,
was III the Senate he refused to vote on a
motion to repeal that very amendm ent.
Harrison die not know what to say.

what to say, ] said to the engineer;

The most useful part of the report of
the New Orleans grand jurors on the
causes and local conditions which led to
the deplorable events of the 18th of March
is that relating to the immigration of
criminals who are the ready instruments
of the crimes of the Malta.
1t is shown that the importations in
clude numbers of men whose names do
not appear ON the passenger lists. In one
case that of the Estella, 9Il persons were
landed while the ships register shows only
032 names This surreptitious immigra-
ton is made up of fugitives from justice
whose evasion of the laws of their own
country is winked at in order that they
and their desperate dispositions and deeds
may be transferred to the United States
by their 'leaving their country for their
cOuntry's good, but to our great injury.
II appears that the records of these crimi-
nal evaders have been traced to the num-
Der of 1 100 landed during few years at
the port of New Orleans alone. 1t is
through the instrumentality of such men
that there were perpetrated assassinations
counted y the score, eliminating in the
murder of the Chief of Police.

What is "Cognac?"
From "a 81. JaNles Ra.etlt.


A Berlin journal quoted in the current
Board Of Trade Journal inquiries what the
French themselves understand by cog
nae" The district of Charente is the place
of origin of real "cognacn and has during
the last seven years produced an annual
average of 20,0)O hectolitres, while the an
nual export by France of liquor known as
"cognac' has exceeded seven times this
quantity. In trade 'cognac' is usually
understood to be brandy obtained by the
distillation of wine, and which was form
erly known as French brandy; but it has
been shown by analysis, and in a bulky
volume issued by the State Department of
Hygiene, that there is no reliable method
of distinguishing real brandy distilled
from wine from the spurious. So it
is interesting to have decision of a
French court of law as to what it under
stands by the word 'cognac."
A merchant of Angouleme who bought
brandy i'll Nalenciennes and labeled it
"cognao,n was prosecuted for so doing
but was acquitted on the ground that the
word ''cognac" is not to be exclusively
understood as descriptive of the place of
production, but often as in the present
instance, as descriptive of the nature of
the product. According to this decision
ii is to be regarded as sufficient when la
bells announce the nature of the goods to
which they are affixed, and is not requi-
site that the contents Of a bottle should
have been produced in the place men
toned on the label This decision is not
consistent with sentences pronounced by
various French law courts upon manu-
facturers of sparkling wines who have
been heavily fined for init oducing into
trade wines which they described as
'ehampagne, and which had undergone
article, but had not been made from wine
grown in the champagne district.
