won by sir Walter Raleigh from Queen
Elizabeth, on the debatabie question of
how much smoke is contained in pound OF
tobacco. A pound of the article was
weighed, burned, and then weighed again
in ashes, and the question was held to be
satisfactorily settled by determining the
weight OF the smoke as exactly that of the
tobacco before being burned, minus the
ashes. The fact ofthe ashes having received
an additional weight by combination with
the oxygen of the atmosphere was unthought
of by Elizabeth and the knight.
An amusing bet, for the small sum OF
five shillings, was laid in S06, in the castle
yard York. between Thomas Hodgson and
Samuel Whitehead, as 10 which should sue

The subject matter Of wagers has some
times taken rather a grim form. Is is
credibly recorded that in the last century
a wager was laid for one Of a party Of
jewellers TO enter Westminster Abbey at the
hour OF midnight. He was to enter one OF
the vaults beneath the Abbey and in proof
of bis having been there he was TO stick
fork into n coffin which had been recently
deposited there. He accomplished his
object, and was returning in triumph when
he felt himself suddenly caught, and was SO
oyerpowered by terror that he fell into a
swoon. His companions, not being able
to accountfor his long absence, found him
in this condition. The fork which he had
fastened into the coffin had caught and
pinned his long cloak, and SO Gccasioned

But before entering into that part of
the matter, it is well to observe that
this is to be strictly Vanderbilt occasion.
Miss Sloane, as has been remarked time
and again, is the second of the grand
children of the late W H. Vanderbilt to wed.
The young lady is the daughter Of
William d. Sloane, who married daughter

Miss Crosby and Mrs. A g. Wallihan of
Colorado are the two most interesting
women who have come to New York lately.
Just as the former is first among women
anglers, so Mrs. Wallihan holds the lead in
her favorite sport and has killed more deer
thanany other woman, havingl lately brought
down her thirty second.
No one would take Miss Crosby for an
ordinary city woman. She calls herself

After that the minister is interesting. Then
comes the wedding breakfast and the bride

Miss Sloane's trousseau is simply reve-
lation. There is everything in it that ever
was Thought OF in connection with trous-
seau. 1t costs, including the pearl TRIM
mings, about $4,000 The evening dress
is of straw colored satin, trimmed at
the bottom of the skirt with tulle hor-
dered with satin, forming small butterfly
bows very close together. The body is COW
cred with tulle edged with satin and
trimmed before and behind with two tulle
braces embroidered with black spangies
and crystal pearls. On the right shoulder
is a bunch of roses of various shades.
The back part of the skirt is covered with
straw-colored tulle, cut at intervals with
straw -colored satin on the cross.
Then there Is a Dress for garden party.
This dress is of white pique, with bro
caded pattern of green and black, giving
the effect of pcmpadour material The
skirt is plain. The body is in three plaits

middle, showing a short taffeta flounce,
accordion plated on each side. fhe
sleeves are of the same taffeta plated,
cut in the middle by double crest of
accordion ta1feta plated.
Another object of interest is small

waist. 1t is Of lavender crepon, in
point before and behind, forming large
and wide godets over the shoulders. 1t is
trimmed all round with a small ruche OF

The neck is trimmed with shot taffeta,
with q large white satin bow behind.
At last he declined to pay any longer,
and an action was brought 10 enforce
the payment. 1t was contended by the de-
fendant that he had been surprised into
the bet by the clergymen's hasty acceptance
of it, and that the transaction was an
illegal one, seeing that Mr.. Gilbert, having
a beneficial interest in the life of Bona
parte, might, in the event OF an invasion, use
all means forthe preservation ofthel life of an
enemy OF his country. The jury Loyalty
brought in a verdict for the defendant.
