Th« oxydized silver ohaina and ornamenta that were in vogue during the palmy daya of Eerculanenm and Pompeii are now the fad for ladies' wear ; and the pulled aleeves that obtained "when George the Fourth waa King "are ornamenting the arms of the elite. Net York Sun : A curious circnmatance is before ua now in the fact that the Supreme Court of the State is running a concert saloon down in the Bowery. The proprietor failed and a receiver has been appointed by the court to run the machine to make money for the settlement with the oraditors. EvEiiv year seea a revolt started againat Uack broadcloth aa a basis for men'a even- ing dreas. This year no less a personage than E. Berry Wall, known to fame as the King of the Dudes, is at the head of the rebelUon. He haa appeared in a Saratoga ball-room attired in a coat and trouaera of wine-oolored cloth, and a waistcoat of white satin brocade. CHAiaKV Locals, a Kansaa City naloon- kaeper, haa anchored a boat in the exact centre of the Missouri River, where he Bella whiskey without paying license. He claims that no one can aacertain under what jariadiction he does business. Several attempts have been made to convict him under the law, but each time he escaped on the ground of non-jurisdiction. The Mis- aouri Prohibitionista have made at least one man take water. Pebhaps the moat extortion about Niagara Falla, write* a correspondent, is at the apper suspension bridge. Say there are four of you in a carriage. The charge is 25 cents each, 36 cents for the driver and 10 cents for the horses and vehicle â€" 91.3.5 to cross a bridge that is so narrow that vehicles cannot pass on it. If that bridge oorporation has a aoul an improved telea- oope will have to be built to discover it. The citizens of Buffalo have resolved once more to chain Niagara Falle for manu- facturing purposea. says the Springtield Hefublii-un. A fund is being raised to secure engineering eatimatea. But why spend money in prospecting for plans? Acitieen of New York State once drew up plans for a huge wheel at the falls with a shaft running through to Albany to which all the belting of the State could be attached. The inventor died in an inaane asylum, but his idea remains. Bnt aerionsly.tbe trans- mission of power by electricity ia likely to work oat problema as big as this. A LoNuoH correspondent reports that Kmily Faithful has come up from Man Chester to Iiondun, at the (jaeen'a com- mand, to present Her Majesty with the address which she moved in the Queen's I honor. It ia a gorgeous affair, bound in a foot.s<|uare of ivory, exiiuisitely jiainted by Miss Charlotte Kobinson (Miaa Faithfol'a preaent companion), with auperb Uloiro de Dijon roses, which the Queen decrees shall henceforth be called " Jubilee roses. ' Miss Faithful looks extremely well, and she says she is unusually happy. The smiles of the Queen seem to be as vivifying as sunlight. The prevalence of measles in some parts of the world, and its fatality, have aroused health authorities to such an appreciation of the neoeaaity of restricting the spread of this disease that oflicial steps are being taken tor the attainment of thin end. A recent ocourrence at Portamouth, England, makes the necessity for this work more emphatic. H.M.S. Crocodile arrived at that place with forty persons sick with measles on board, who were permitted to land. From these individuals the disease haa spresul to an epidemic, and at last reports the number of deaths waa l'J7. The discovery haa been made, it is said, of a groat swindle in railroad ties, of which the Missouri Pacific system of roads ia the chief victim. The operators in it have, it is alleged, taken 91,000,000 out of the treasury of the roads more than the legiti- mate value of the ties. The chief contrac- tors for the ties sublet their contracts in such a way that they got about 10 cents a tie more than they paid at first hand. Ties which were worth from 21 to 23 cents they sold to the roads for .SO cents. Xhe('hicago, Burlington iSi Quincy and the Kock Island roads are believed to be also great losers. Mrs. Oru, widow of the late general of that name, haa recently sold for $1,000 the able upon which Grant and Lee signed the papers providing for the surrender of the rebel arnaies. The purchaser is a Mr. Ounther, of Chicago. General Ord secured poaaeaaion of the table at the time of the aurrender and hia widow obtained a letter from General Grant attesting its genuine- neaa which, we auppoae, goua with the table and increases its value. The sum of 93,000 was asked for the table until re- cently. It ia a common enough piece of furniture in itself but valuable on account of its historic associations. A PRETTY young woman's sleeping oar experience ia related iu that department of the American Magazine where only true atorioa are placed ; " I always lie with my head very far front and my feet near the wall. One night I was awakened by aome one stepping on my uoho aa it lay on the pillow.

Gl.^i>8Tonk has four aona and three daughters. The eldest son, Mr. William ^enry Gladstone, waa born iu 1810 ; he ia married to a daughter of Lord. Blantyre. The second is the Vicar of Hawarden, Stephen Edward Gladstone, who was last year married to a Liverpool lady. The third, Mr. Uenry Neville Gladstone, is resident in Calontta, and the fourth, Mr. Herbert Gladstone, born iu 1854, is M.P. for a division of Leeds and distinguished in political life. The eldest daughter, Agnes, was married in 1873 to Mr. Wickham, head master of Wellington College ; the second is married to Kev. Henry Drew ; the youngest, Helen, ia Principal of the College for Women at Newnham, near Cambridge. Omk of the leading candy manofaoturera tella a New York reporter that there ia more money in molaaaea candy at the ordinary aeUing price than in any other kind. Close to molaaaea candy comes chocolate drops, caramels and other candies in which augar and chocolate or plain flavora are the ingredienta. The candiea on which there ia the least profits in pro- portion to the selling price are those which aell high. The beat oonfectioner'a augar coats but little over aix. centa a pound, and the beat gradea of molaasea are not dear. Theae and a little flavoring make molaases candy, and that ia why there ia ao much profit in it. When you come right down to it, children and adults with " the sweet tooth " care more for molaaaea and plain candiea than they do for tne expensive and elaborate French confectisnery. Tbb common assertion that brass can- not be tempered ia met by a writer in Mechanical Profjress with a atatement cover- ing hia own experience during a long period. Braaa, he aaaerta, not hard by mixture, but by compreasion, either rolling, ham- mering, wire drawing, or any other pro- ceaa which compresses the particles of metal, can be and ia tempered regularly, just as easily and in the same manner as in tempering an equal piece of hardened steel, namely, by heat ; that is, by placing a small piece of polished steel on the braaa object to be tempered, and applying the heat so as to atfect e<iually the braaa and steel, the temper of the brass will be made known by the color of the steel, and, con- sequently, braaa may by this process be tempered in e.\act proportion to every ahade of color of the ateel. GiNSRAi. Wolseley holds the post of Adjutant-General of the British army on an annual salary of 913,500. To Field Marshal Von Moltke, who performs the same duties in the German army, only 98,000 ia paid, and the Adjutant-General of the French army only geta 9-1,000. When British public attention waa called to the fact that a Von Moltke, ene of the greatest commanders the world has ever known, was getting less than 00 per cent, of Lord Wolsrfey's pay for directmg the staff of an army fifteen times as large as the British force, it was necessary for the mutual admiration society that exists in the British War Ofiice to break the force of the inevitable odious comparison. Colonel Knox, one of Lord Wolseley's staff subor- dinates, justified the large salary paid to his chief on the ground that the latter was burdened with " the enormous responsibi terms foreahadow the nature ot the results attainable. The cubic bulk of fuel that will henceforth be reiinired for marine steam engines will be reduoad by 70 per cent-, giviag a gain to the extent indicated by that proportion to the stowage space for cargo in ocean going steamships. Thi time for raising steam will be diminished in all ateam boilera, stationary or marine by at least two-thirda. The cost ef fuel consumption will be reduced by more than one-half, and the production of smoke will be absolutely annihilated. The process has been made the subject of actual experi mental demonstration. Every test haa I been applied. The reaulta we have given above are the under- stated consequences of experiments made under oircamstances the reverse of favorable to the invention. It waa in 1868 that the Moabite stone waa diacovered. It waa found at Dibau, in Moab. The supposition has been formed that it was erected by Mesha, King of Moab, mentioned in II. Kings vii. The in- scriptions have always been understood to refer to hia wars with larael in the tenth century B.C. The stooa^ which exists only in fragments, having been broken by the contending Arab claimants, ia preserved in the Louvre, itev. Mr. Lowry, Secretary of the Anglo-Jewish Association, in an article in the last number of the Scottith Review, proclaims the text of the inscription to be a fabrication. According to this writer, who haa carefully examined the atone, and who furnishes an illustration, " the dressed surface is ancient, whereas the in- acription ia modern." The surface ia pitted and indented, in consequence of thousands of years of exposure. Not so the inscrip- tions. The text is given in Hebrew, with a translation. The writer pronounces the text to be " egregiously un-Hebraic," and arrives at the ooncluuiontbatnotwithstand- ing its world-wide glorification, the Moabite stone is a " stone of stumbling," and must be sonsigned to the limbo of marvellous im- positions. Hkbe is an exceedingly good story from the Boston Herald and there are a good many people who ought to paste it on their mirrors'. A prominent newspaper publisher in this city, who haa gained Ume alao in the literary world, ones told me that he conaidered it an affront for am one to aay to him : " Now, don't print thia in your paper," in the course of any conversation held in hia presence. I feel like echoing the same opinion. Certain news ia entirely legiiimate, no matter where heard or obtained, but a newspaper man respects private affairs and personal feeling just aa much as any one else, if he i^ a man of principle. To be thought diff^erently of always reminds me of the story of the mosioian and an emineat surgeon who met one evening at a (•cial entertainment. The surgeon said to the musical genius : " Of course you have brought your violin." " No, I have not," aaid the musician. " But are you not hty involved in a volunteer army " and S""'** '" P''^ °' ^° something to add to the •TTiiiihla nniKhU ».. entertainment of Mra. Blank's guests ?" api>arently this amiable quibble was acceptable to the Army Investigation Com- mittee. Thk cholera in Sicily and Calabria is of » ^ore virateat typ* a pp a ieaW y than Italy has known since 18H4. Thus far only sporadic, incomplete reports are obtain- able, but, aa the apread of the infected area ia incessant, we are likely soon to hear a guests asked the physician. " I had not thought of it," aaid the violinist, "but if you will out off a leg, I will play something." That musician was a wise m^n, I yiah he might set an example to a good many others ; it would save aome people a good deal of annoyance. TiiK queation, can an individual ahoot himself through the head and afterward good deal of it. The strongest phase of the through the heart, or through the heart thing is that it should reappear for the third consecutive year, practically on the same territory, which hitherto has been uuheaid of. I'hysicians in London are getting nervous about the possibility of the plague getting a foothold in the metropolis, owing to the unpreoedentedly favorable conditions. During the heated term of the past six weeks the weekly deaths from aiarrbcea in the London district have gone first and afterward through the brain, has recently given rise to much discussion among physicians. It ia univeraally agreed that auch a thing is possible. It is popu- larly supposed that wounds of the heart produce instant death. Such is not always the case. One instance ia recorded where a man stabbed another in the heart, and the injured man chased his assailant l.'>0 feet, struck him, nearly killed him, fell and yp from 9 to 3l2--of this latter number 206 jjed in an inatant. In another instance being infanta under 1 year of aap. The Lancet points out that one of the surest precursors of cholera in a given district is the tendency to diarrhuoaic fattdity, and urges the utmost vigilance. St. Pbtbr's EpiacopAi. Chcbcu at North Greenfield ia probably the only religious edifice in Wisconsin which depends upon champagne bottlea for its drainage. When the church waa built funds were very man standing behind the counter of his store was shot in the heart. He ran around the counter, a diatance of 20 feet, hit the man who had shot him on the head with a hammer and killed him b^ a blow. Still another case is on record in which a bullet passed through the heart, and the subject, a boy, lived three years and some months afterward. As a rule, serious injury to the brain is followed by immediate loss scarce, and many amall economiea were o' conacionaness, but that is not invariably practiced. The congregation on first the caae.
