The Lotos Club, composed in the i main of jpurnalists, artists and actors, a recently removed to a new building on ! Fifth avenue, New York,*and its interior ' is thus described : Entering the hall c door, the eye is at once taken with the : <3 errand RwfiCD of staircase that rises! d spirally to the roof, and with the great b height and massive paneling of the hall t itself. All the woodwork in sight is of , t polished walnut, oak and rosewood, the | e effect of which, though perhaps too som-'s ber for such a gay place as the Lotos ; g club house, is nevertheless extremely i \ rich. To the right of the hall are the 11 three principal apartments of the estab- i i lishment, which are connected by folding : e doors. The first of these is the main j i parlor, a magnificent room, elegancy a furnished, with heavily curtained win-jt dows looking out on the avenue and on i t Twenty-first street. Its walls and ceiling j t are richly paneled in white and gold, j t and the chandelier and other gas fix- j tures, as well as the frames of the mas- t sive mirrors, are also heavily gilt. The 1 floor is covered with Gobelin tapestry, ; I whose rich hues blend harmoniously j c with the pale green satin oovering-of the j i furniture. Inlaid tables and stands oc- g cupy their proper places near the win- j f dows, and the walls are hung with pio- j j tures, many of which are from the . c Btudios of members of the club. Ad- j j joining the parlor is a smaller room, ; i handsomely furnished in bright colors, : t profusely decorated with pictures and c artistio knick-knacks generally, which ! will be used as a sort of cafe and smok- ' ing room; and immediately back of this again is the club dining-room, heavily . paneled in oak, and furnished with massive chairs, tables, sideoof^da, etc., in. black walnut and rosewoo L The coil-: iDgs of these three rooms are different! from each other, and each displays all the art of the fresco painter. To the left of the dining-room and back of the I main hall, are the butler's rooms, also fitted up in oak, and the other apartments that properly intervene between i the dining-room and the kitchen. The front room on the second floor is the li- j brory. This room is literally full of ' statuettes, busts, and photographs, mementoes of men celebrated in art and literature, some of whom were members of the club, and many of whom are now i dead. Separated from the library by foldincr doors is a tastefully furnished private dining-room, where members can a entertain their personal friends at din- . f nor, a.id adjoining it at the rear are the | e customary card-rooms aud dressing-1 rooms. The top floor is divided off into i private suites, each suite consisting of a I parlor aud bed-room, handsomely fur nished, which are rented annually to i members. The basement will be occu- j pied by the billiard-room, wine-room j and kitchen. It is anticipated by the i officers that the removal to more spa- | eious and elegant quarters will cause ! the list of membership to swell to its maximum in a very short time. The j list of members now includes about 280 ; names. Fashion Notes. ? j The wide Josephine belt is very popu-1 lar. - j Mode oolort?grays, browns, dark. blues and greens, vine, currant, gold I and vulcan. Suits of bunting are very fashionable. : The prevailing colors are dark blue, j ivorv, vine and black?all acceptable dyes. : i The latest hats in Paris are made of! * nothing but flowers arranged, not as ! * head dresses, but in the ordinary hat j 1 Bhapo. 11 Parasols of ecru bunting, orer colored i * silk, with ivory handles, fastened with a ; ' ribbon bow and pearl ornaments, are the ' latest novelty in sunshades. j1 There is quite a revolution in neck I garnitures. Paris, the oracle of fashion, j / has sent out a number of cunning modes . j for throat embellishments; some of the j c styles are indeed replete with loveliness, i j Crepe lisse ruches are very effective, 11 and have the happy knack of becoming ; \ almost every one. They come from ; { oingle to quadruple; some are equal in I g height, while others have each edge ' t lower than the other. j 1 Torchon or Smyrna lace is very much i r admired in finishing a morning toilet for ; c promenade and shopping wear. This ] , innovation in lace eclat is rather sur-; 6 prising, since the preference iB given to i 1 a style of lace that cannot possibly lay j any claims to refined beauty of finish or ; e elegance in design. j a Toilets of all kinds for this and next j r season's wear will largely partake of the j t flower crarniture.

The countenance of every nation defines the characteristics of its people. Every human face indicates the moral I a training as well as the temperament and i e ruling traits of its owner, just as much j t as every human form indicates the j ? quality and amount of its physical exer- > r cise. This is proven by the variety of \ i human faces everywhere visible. Those ? whose lives have been given to physical' t labor, unbrightened by an education of i ideas, have always a stolid, stupid ox- \ ] pression, even while their limbs aud | ] muscles are splendidly developed. The i more savage the people, the uglier they are in facial development. The very ; features of their faces are disfigured by ' violent and ungoverned passions. Peo-1 pie whose employments are intellectual ; have invariably a large, clear gaze, a bright, outraying expression, as if from j an inward light shining through a vase, j Where a fine organization and a deep ; j sensibility accompany the practice of in- J1 tellectual pursuits, often the features ] take on a transparent luminous look, j Persons endowed with powerful sensi bility, however plain their features, I always have moments of ftbfolute beauty, i. | A curious and remarkable experiment!, has been tried in India. A Mr. Adams, {, of Bombay, has invented a solar battery 11 consisting of two hundred small mirrors : so arranged that they focused the sun's ( rays upon a small copper boiler, and I ] generated steam in it in twenty minutes.

THE FATE OF THE BENDERS. ! i l Narrative by Ooe of the Men Who Lynched Thein. A Western paper contains an account if the fate of the Bender family, whose [eeds of crime in Kansas and mysterious [isappearance created such a great si-nation a few years ago. It seems that a ramp who was sleeping in a haystack >ack of the Benders' house was awakned at midnight, and looking out he aw three persons evidently at work dig-! ring at a short distance from him, but it I ras so dark that he could not distinguish I hem nor make out what they were bun-- j ng. The next day he told this circumo r><iirrV>V?r?rincr fnrmpr Trim lm- I nediately organized a party of twelve J aid started for the home of the Benders, | >ut when they arrived there it was derated. The party found the wagonTicks of the fleeing inmates, and inimeii'itely started in pursuit. The track of the Bender wagon could >e seen leading to the southwest. The lorsemen followed at full speed. Just jefore sunset the pursuers came in sight >f the fugitives. They had evidently lrged their teams on with all speed possible, as they were a good forty-five miles rom their tavern, and their animals appeared well used up. As the pursuit same in sight of their game they gave a rell, and charged down upon them. The noment the Benders caught eight of heir pursuers,the greatest consternation j ippeared to 6eize upon them. John j Sender, who was walking by the side of J he wagon, run forward to the haad ; earn, as though to unhitch them, but "j ras evidently recalled by the old man, j rho handed him out nn old-fashioned i imooth-bore Yaeger rifle. With this J weapon he fired a harmless shot at the j idvancing horsemen, and then drew n 1? 1 ,\,f? I?VJ rCTUiVCl aiiU. ICUVUCU inr? iiuum xu*.\/ j he wagon for another. Before he had j ime to draw it forth, however, a shot rom one of the farmers laid him out1 ifeless on the prairie, the ball entering ! lis left breast and piercing the heart. ; Old man Bender stood up in the! ragon, and, striking down the cover, relied at his horses in German and flonrBhed a revolver over his head. Hie mrsuers wished to capture him alive, if jossible but did not like to approach ; oo close to the old man's revolver. As j hey were going down a roll in the prai- i ie one of the lead horses fell, and Kate, J pringing out of the wagon, went to the | alien animal is if to get it up. But in- j itead of raising the fallen beast, she cut , oose its mate, and, mounting it, was en- j leavoring to make her escape on its j >ack. At this the old man seemed crazy ' rith anger, and fired his revolver at her. Ie did not hit her, however, but the torse springing forward caught a leg in he breeching of its fallen mate, and rent down with Kate under him. The | >ld man having emptied hia revolver,the i jureuers closed in on him and beat him ! lown with their gun barrels, though lit*! rnd his wife fought like tigers to the A 4U A*? /I AT* (111 /I I not*. j3XVCi l/UCJ 1IOU HtU x?vuuvi I?UV4 | lis wife they got the girl out from under j he horse aud found thnt she hud a leg jroken in the fall. Kate cursed them, iursed her father and mother, and seemed n a red-hot vial of wrath. The party moved over to a "run" and samped for the night. Old Bender reused to say a word in English, but both le and his wife cursed their captors in , German. Kate Bender seemed to think j heir captors knew everything,and while ! the would not answer questions, 6ho j nade no concealment of the awful work i hat had been carried on at the tavern, 1 ind asserted frequently that they had ; tilled over 100 person. She said she lad done most of the throat cutting i lerself; that John was afraid; that he >r the old woman did well enough to mock their victims on the head, but they appeared to be afraid of them after they arere down. "When asked why they killed so many j referring to her assertion of having j lied 100 persons), she replied that the i >ld people (meaning her parents) liked j he money, but siie lined to see tlie )lood.* She was lying on the ground un>ound, her broken limb preventing her ?cape. One of the men happened to it down near her, when, quick as1 hought, she jerked his revolver from j lis belt and fired at him. The ball J nissed him and entered the fleshy part : >f the thigh of a man named Love. ; 3efore she could fire again she was j hot, one of the balls passing through j ler head. The old couple looked on with appar-; int indifference upon the terrible scene, ind when spoken to would m;tke no ; eply, save to give utterance to maledic-1 ions upon their pursuers. 'i he farmers held a long consultation j is to the disposal of their prisoners. \ ! ?ud of sworn secrecy was entered into, i ind so the old man and his wife were >oth shot. Thev made no anneal to ' nercy, but died cursing. The following I oorning their effects were divided up ! ,mong their captors. The bodies were [ >uried on the Bpot. The Leather Medal. We often hear of the leather medal, ud in some instances our military marks- j aen have won, and occasionally wear ; he leather medal as a sort of absurd re- j jalia marking a very low rate of marks-. nanship. It may be of interest to our j eaders to learn the origin of the medal. Some time during the fourteenth century ,he bad King John for the ransom of his royal person promised to pay Edward [II. of England 3,000.000 of gold crowns. ' [n order to fulfill this obligation he was reduced to the mortifying necessity of' p-ying tne expenses ot tue palace in leaVaer money, the center of each piece beii g a little point of silver. In his reign is found the origin of the burlesque honor of boyhood, called 4' conferring a leather medal." The imposing ceremonies accompanying the presentation ?ave full force, dignity and value to the leather jewel, which even noblemen were proud to receive at- tho hands of majesty. . London Streets. On ft ftn? day what a sight are these London streets, with their dim background of grand masonry, stretching away, away, as boundless to the vision w the ocean itself, while through them pours a multitude of our fellows, the noted names of earth in every sphere of endeavor. There goes the queen, drawn by four prancing bays, and attended by equerries on horseback, themselves the finest flowers of England's nobles. Yonder the delicate Princess of Wales, fair, but so frail it seems a rude breeze would slay her like a frost-smitten daisy. Look, here is Tennyson, the prince of poets, with slouching felt hat, long gray locks and furrowed cheeks. That ex quisite beauty is t'ae Conntess of Dudley, the heroine oi the lost diamonds, the wif# of a man more than double her ??< U SCENE OF THI H Jj JL Q Mi 11 Moltari||^ Flataur ^ w.

Mr. ! irker, one of the officers of the com- | my, mounted a tram, nnd, with n loud >ico,said: "A message from thequeen." Iiere was a rush ot people forward, aud, o miners aud all others having uncoved, it was road. This was followed ith ringing cheers and waving of caps, j be message was as follows: "Biddulph, i sbome, to Mr. Wales, mine inspector, I ntvpridd: The queen is very anxious : r the last accounts of the poor men in i ie mine. Are they saved ? Pray tele- j raph." i Everything was in readiness, and the I re rescued ones were caretuiiy attenueu i by nurses and surgeons. It was I orned from them that they had nothing | eat during thoir confinement except a j tie grease which had run from the box 1 here they kept the caudles. The first I ro days thoy had a light, but this wenti it at the close of the second day. They j iffered terribly from thirst. During i ie imprisonment, and while the work j rescue was goiug on, many prayor-1 eetings were held in the district and emeu commended to the mercy of God. i It should not be forgotten as one of | e many incidents connected with the \ rilling affair that the four men who j st escaped and the poor fellow who j is their companion and subsequently i iffered death, when surrounded by j iter, took, as they thought, an eternal ; rowell of each other, and then sang a j ?11 known hymn in Welsh, of which the I llowing is a translation: In the deep and mighty waters There is none to hold my head But my only Savior, Jesus, Who was wlauKhtored in my stead.

Lemon Cream Pes.?One quart of milk, three cupfuls sugar, yolks of four eggs, one cupful flour; mix the flour with some of the milk, then boil the rest and mix this with it; flavor with grated rind of a lemon; bake; make a frosting of the whites beaten to a froth with a cup. of sngar and juice of the lemon; brown ! in a hot oven. This makes two pies. Vegetable Soup.?Purchase a small ' piece of shin, with some meat upon it; | put into the vessel that you make the soup in four quarts of water, with salt, boil three or four hours, then add a teacupful of rice, one carrot grated, one turnip cut in pieces, one leek, cut up a ; stalk of celery, little pepper; just before" serving for the table, take out the shin, j removing the meat, which you cut in email pieces, put me i meat into the tureen and pour the soup over it; send to table to be eaten with catsup or spiced sauces. Cubhakt Jelly.?Take ripe cherry currants, place on the fire to get thoroughly heated. When cool enough, strain through a coarse crash towel till' j the seeds are dry. Measure the juice into a clean porcelain pot, let it boil five minutes hard, then pour over the sugar, which has been previously measured into a stone jar large enongh to hold sugar and juice. Stir constantly while j pouring on the syrup, and from the bottom, till every particle of sugar is dis| solved. Use granulated sugar, one | pound to a pint of juice. Have the jelly ! glasses all ready, as the jelly often forms | while stirring. This makes splendid, J ' clear jelly, very firm, and -will keep two 1 Jears. Make it about the fourth of uly. Meat Balls.?Chop very fine cold meat of any kind, and soak the same quantity of bread crumbs; mix them together with an onion chopped very fine; if the flavor of onion is liked seas?u with salt and pepper, a little nutmeg and all spice; mold together with one egg ; 1 ? 1-1. n 1 * _ M-L 1 I arm into oaiis ana iry m oumug i?w IIIntH on Trnnnplantlns. The art of transplanting trees, shrubs ( and vines is only learned by experience, close observation and a strict adherence to the laws that govern vegetable 1 growth. Any unskilled laborer can dig up and reset a tree or vine; but this does ; ! not insure life, health and vigor. There is a well-adjusted balance between the roots and branches of- every tree or vine, < Trained practical gardeners recognize this fact, and the importance in transplanting or removing carefully all the roots possible, and especially the fine, fibrous ones, such as take up and furnish the nourishment. To save enough of these roots in transplanting large sized trees, it is necessary to know the habits of growth of trees and vines. For instance, the Scotch or white pines with their long, fleshy roots, nnd comparative- ' ly few fibrous ones near the body of the . trees, require more care in removing than the Norway spruce with its mass of , fibrous roots clustered around and near the body. The best way in all cases is 1 to dig a narrow trench around the body, ! some distance from the tree, deep enough J to get below the lower tier of roots. In 1 making this circle the flat of the spade should not be placed toward the body of 1 the tree. The top soil on the "ball," f near the boily, should bo removed by a i digging-fork or other implement that 1 [ will nnf ni> ininrrt flin amoll rrmfji Tn ( case the trees or shrubs are to be moved only a short distance from where they f are growing, as much soil as will ad- J here to the roots may be left on with ( advantage. t The second important point to be ob- c served in transplanting is not to leave the t roots exposed for a moment to the rays of the sun, or to a blowing dry air, ? which is quite as injurious to tender ? rootlets. If not set out at once the roots f ought to be kept damp and covered with j. a cloth, or "heeled in." Trees coming c from ft distance, when the roots show j signs of being left exposed, and the j p libers ore dry and somewhat shriveled, I j. will be much improved by plunging them iuto a stream or pool of water, and then I heeling them in, covering the roota care- I * fully -with moist soil, and so leaving tl}em j * until repdy to plant out. ! ?

A gentleman of this .city, however, re- c cently related to us a Btory in regard to i; the lizards of Nevada which seems to j confirm the Dossibilitv of their enduring 11 intense heat, for a short time at least. j a The black lizards of that sagebrush ! I State are very easily domesticated, i g harmless, sociable and intelligent. This ! 0 gentleman had several pet lizards, one of ; v which lived near a furnace -where he j t buiTied retorts or molds for silver bul-! v lion. This -work required a veiy hot j t fire, which he had mide open at each 1 f, end. The lizard would sit on the tree j fi near by watching him, and his dog would , E frequently chase it if it ventured to the | t ground and compel it to take to the tree j t again. > ; j Frequently, however, the lizard, appa-j j rently for ' the sport of the thing alone, 11 would dash down from the tree and in- [ r duce the dog to give it a sharp race, 11 when it would run right through the j i furnace, coming out of the other end like a ; t tlnsli wliilft floe, ill bin : eagerness, would be burnt at the fire ( c before lie could stop. This would be a j y daily occurrence," and the lizard actually ! ^ seemed to enjoy the joke on the dog. | e The time that the lizard or salamander c was in tlio lire was very short, and it j p doubtless could not have remained there ' v very long. i Wa met a noble son of the forest, d whom wo have known for years, and he o was in so dilapidated a condition that 1 we inquired what troubled him.
