suspicion of tremor by few Just what
he will do seems to be one Of those
things no fellah can find out. Never
theless, he is in our midst; has made his
own terms, which, however the suits
may terminate, except him from arrest,
and seems to be quietly looking after
his numerous trustees.


TIE murder Of Mr. Kingan, for it Is
still believed to be by his friends, at
tracts much attention, and every one
who knew him, feels anxious that the
mystery should be cleared up. His wife,
who has babe not yet two weeks old,
is lying very i'll at the Buckingham,
here. She has been told that her hus-
band was killed by railway accident,
as she had become so nervous about
him she could not sleep, and it was
thought less dangerous in her condition
to shock her with the news of bis death,
than to let her be tortured by suspense.
Opiates were Immediately administered,
but all her friends fear that she may not
survive the terrible grief.


A week ago Camille" was buried
and since than there has been some
thing of wrangle over who should have
the guardianship of her orphan child
"Bijou." Her pet name OF Bijou Heron,
is familiar to all theatre-goers everywhere,
and to many others here, while that Of
Helen Stoepel sounds strange enough
Her great dread was, being sent to her
father, whom her mother, so erratic and
so strong in her loves and her hates, had
taught her to dislike, so the child at
least was satisfied, when Mr. Palmer, one
of the managers of Union Square thea
tire, was appointed her guardian. She
has received calls and expressions of
coincidence from many of the best peo-
pie in New York, since her sad bereaye-
ment, for sad it was to her, as however
faulty it may be.

Companies who have money to back
them are no longer to be held response
bic for the malicious maltreating of in
dividuals by their employees, if two re-
cent verdicts are to be considered as
proof of this matter. DIR Alexander
Mott had his carriage smashed and was
injured by the reckless driving of an ice
wagon, but could get no satisfaction from
the company whe employed this man,
as it was decided that the man alone
was to blame in the matter. The other
case was that of the rough handling of a
man by ali employee ofthe Union Ferry
Company, when a similar decision was
rendered. This ruling is anything but
satisfactory to the public. Many en-
ployees of rich companies, dressed in a
little briefauthority, are insolent enough
even under the wholesome fear that if
complained Of they will be discharged,
and if they infiict injuries and COM
pany suffers pecuniarily they Will be
ruined, so with this brake taken of, the
chances are we shall have to suffer many
indignities at the hands of those who
have ruffianly instincts. Every man I'M
doubtediy ought to be held personally
responsible, but companies who employ
bullies ought to be held in a certain
way accountable for their ugly or ma
licious acts.


The meeting here of the Acclimitia-
ton Society, few days..ago. was a very
interesting one. Their object is to help
and reward any one who will regularly
undertake to introduce any fish, animal,
bird or plant, foreign to this country,
into it, and forward its growth until it
may become naturalized. They hope to
add in this way many useful objects, in
creasing the variety Of food az well as
other matters. Quail it is believed
might be propagated so as to sell at two
for cent. What drug the now dainty
tit-bit will become by that time

There is trouble in business and offic-
ial circles about the false invoicing of
silks, and several dry goods houses are
implicated in the matter, and are in
trouble because their spring imporsations
ar held by the Custom House officers.


The relapse Of spring after the firest
promises into the arms of winter, has
not been very favorable for the sale Of
spring goods They look fine in the
shop windows, but on the street silk,
velvet and furs are the principal wear.
The most elegant toilettees worn in this
oIemi saisonare of silk and velvet, notice
ably in black, plum color and blue,
while the long rich plush circulars that
usurped tae place of silk ones, but
which like them are lined with fur,
have proven during this recent swapping
weather very comfortable wraps. One
of these lined with seal skin, with collar,
gloves and muff to match, was valued at
$500. This is seasonable talk consider
ering the weather, but young lady read
ers will undoubtedly prefer to hear what
they may wear this spring. Under hs
head Of camels' hair clothes, there are an
infinite variety of fabrics, some plain,
many figured There are also numer.
Gus raw silk fabrics, heavy and rich in
appearance, but light in reality. Gaze
