2 •be and her husband were visiting. Bis friends tried to persuade him to fly or to conceal himself, but he insisted on prompt surrender, and telegraphed lo Washington to that effect." Mrs. Clay accompanied him. Later with Mr. Clay. Jefferson Davis and his wile and bats, she made what must have teen a terrible trip to those two women, the journey to Fortress Monroe, where they parted with their husbands —as they feared forever. Afterwards, with all the energy and perseverance of a brave and Clever woman, she set to wort to liberate bar husband, with whom for eignt months she had no intercourse even by letter. President Johnson she besieged, bringing also to bear upon him the influence of auch men as Gen. Grant, Horace Greeley, Thad Stevens and Henry Wilson, of Mas sachusetts. It is improbable that any President this country has had has ever been taken to task as President Johnson was by Mrs. Clay. She prophesied his impeachment. She told him which of bis supposed friends were his enemies, and exposed intrigues and cabals that were being carried on and existed against him, and half in fear of her and to make of her a friend, he granted her husband’s re lease, bot not until she had told him she would never leave the White House with out it, and every one who knew her could Bot doubt her determination. After the war Mrs. Clay found herself penniless. Bbe borrowed SI,OOO of Mr. Corcoran, the Washington philanthropist, and set about redeeming ber plantation in Ala bama. Her house, which was one of toe finest in the South, had been razed to the ground, the marble bust of her dead baby had been sicked ail over the garden, and her diamonds had passed into tde pos-es aion of some Ohio women. By dint of her own tireless energy Mrs. Clay has again fine estate with over 100 tenants upon it. y THX PRESSES CF THE SEASON. * The drlfcses worn at the various recep tions during the winter have been more elegant than the average of past years. Every woman here seems to have had an wardrobe at her back. Among the young women in society, however, one class of dresses seems to nave been entirely overlooked —suitable costumes for afternoon receptions were very rare. All had an abundance cf street dresses and would make a fine show on drees parade on their walks and drives. Tnere was also an abundance *of magnificent ball dresses. These answered their purposes very well, but the young women In ques tion, being without costumes ol the semi full dress style, were left no alternative when assisting at afternoon receptions than to appear in their ball dresses. In the bright glare of the afternoon sun, and in broad daylight their arms and shoul ders did not appear as advantageously as they do by gaslight. Most of the after noon callers appeared in wraps, bonnets and overcoats, and the bare arms and "bare shoulders of the young women looked decidedly chilly in contrast, not to say out of place. Female loveliness owes more to gaslight than pen can tell. JAPS FLEECED, Bill Nye has given the heathen Chinee a, bad reputation for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain. Bill fails to say anything about the Chinaman’s cousin, the Jap. He also overlooked a large con tingent of Yankees, who possess all the .characteristics of the pigtails described, Several of the younger members of the Japanese legation here have just learned of this omission to their sorrow. A year or two ago a man claiming to represent four or five newspapers of more or less obscurity suddenly appeared in Washington and began to go the rounds. Be had a dis tinguished air and appearanoe, and very affable manners, which made friends of nearly everybody with whom he became acquainted. Be was generous to a fault, and remarkably fond of a good game of draw poker with the young men he met about town, but never played with profes sionals. Stakes often ran high among these young amateur gamblers, and the whilom correspondent played as high as any one with whom he came in contact. He played in wonderful luck, his losses invariably being confined to small pots and bis winnings tOTarge ones. No one suspected for a moment that there was anything wrong about h:s playing, and he was such a good fellow that his companions as a rule ffook- delight in, instead of begrudging, his fortune. One ot his favorite playing grounds was in a room at the Japanese legation used exclusively by the young Itloods attached to the embassy. His winnings here were so uninterrupted and •o large that the host of the party eventu ally became suspioious, and determined to secretly watch the lucky gamester. Last Saturday the game was in progress,and,as usual,the correspondent won ail the large pots and lost very few of the smaller ones. The hostobserved that he Invariably won the largest pots with aces. W hen it came the host’s turn to deal he looked over the pack of cards. Hedidnotlind a single ace, for the simple and very good reason that none were there. Then the corres pondent began to show some sigus of ex citement, So did the remainder of the conclusively proving that he had abstracted the aces the party resolved Itself into a committee ol the whole. The correspondent was called I ** b!acklcg,”“a scoundrel,” **a skin gambler,” and then conducted to the front door, from which he was kicked into the street, A NEW KINO OK AVOHK. A Few Points about Making “Gobe lin” Tapestry. Nkw York, March 6.—A lady well , known in New York society as the wife -ot a prominent banker and distinguished likewise lor her artistic talents has in vented anew kind of work that Is likely to become popular with those whose tastes He in the same direction, and who are. perhaps, tired ol tbs conventional methods of painting. She has Imported from abroad a quantity of the matorlal employed in the manufacture of tapestry. Upon this canvas she paints a design in exact imitation of the style and coloring of old Gobelin. The effect is remarkably striking, and the observer seems in re garding it to gaze upon an ancient and musty treasure from a foreign palace. The work is done in ordinary water colors, the tints being, of course, especi ally selected lor the purpose, while the drawing can be copied Irom anv appro priate picture and enlarged to suit the DC’/'V.. The sketch should first be made then placed over the canvas outlines pricked through by means of a very sharp lead pencil. This is necessary to Insure absolute accuracy In the drawing, as it is impossible to erase a line once made upon the material.

BKLLKVinT'S BEAUTIES. Some of the Advantages Which are | Pushing the Town to the Front. Bkllkvibw, Fla., March 6. —This is i one of the towns which has sprung up within the last three years. For a year past it has been known to all the travel ers on the Florid* Kailway and Naviga tion railroad as one ot the most attractive towns on the whole line of the road. Some thousands of orange trees have been and will be set out this year. Prop erty has passed from the hands of those who w are not likely to improve it into the bands of others who are rapidly making improvements. One of the moat enthusi astic, persistent and successful workers in behalf ol Belleview is Rev. L. H. Hallock, of Portland, Me. A recent mark of his enterprise is the starting of a rose hedge of considerable extent. Mr. Dyer, a wealthy gentleman of Portland, Me , is tha recent purchaser of one of our best locations, and is set ting eleven acres with fine orange trees, with some peaches, pears and other trees intermingled. Be brings his New Eng land ideas with him to some extent, as is evidenced by his putting quite a barn on his lot as his first enterprise in building. Col. N. B. Brown, an enterprising banker, of Concordia, Kan., has recently become interested in this town, and has invested quite extensively in town lots. The manufacture of the “Betts” wire and picket fencing is another industry that is calling attention to this town. It is expected that a fine hotel will be erected here, in readiness for the coming season, by Miss M. A. Bull, whose exten sive and successful experience at Ocean Grove assures ber success at this point. Some of the finest residences here are owned by James Penfield, formerly of Ridgway.’Pa.; Rev. T. H. Rouse,formerly from New England, but who has spent considerable time in California and in the Sandwich Islands, and who pronounces the climate of this part of Florida supe rior to that of either of those countries; Prof. G.

About 100 neat houses have been erected since the commencement of the town. A CORPSE ON FIRE. Horrible Scenes at a Wake—Seven teen Men Put in Coffins. Chicago, March s.—An Inter-Ocean special rrom St. Louis, Mo., says: “The well-known steamboat mate Charles Murphy, who died at the Marine Hospital yesterday, was given a somewhat re markable wake last night. Murphy’s relatives, said to be very wealthy, all live in San Francisco. In tneir absence a self-appointed committee of the dead man’s river acquaintance took charge of the remains. The body was properly laid out at an undertaker’s establishment, and great numbers of Murphy’s old triends made their way to the place. Early in the evening a supply of stimu lants to keep the mourners awake during their long vigil was provided. A keg ot beer was tapped. As the small hours ad vanced one ol the watebere, who had par taken freely, stumbled against the coffin supports. That end of the coffin rell from its stand to the floor, and out slid the corpse, overturning a table and snaking down sereral lighted candles iuto the dead man’s face. A scene of the wildest excitement en sued, which increased when it was dis covered that the clothing of the corpse was blazing, and a cremation and confla gration threatened. The mourners, how ever, were equal to the emergency, and after great confusion put out the tire and righted the corpse and the coffin. Affairs gradually quieted down to such an extent that a number of the wakers fell asleep, many dropping out ot their chairs to tho floor. Then came the climax ot the occa sion. Coffins were brought out of the warerooms and one sleeper after another put into them uutll there were seventeen men lu coffin* when daylight broke. Not a man of them, however, failed to straighten up enough to join the con course that followed the body to the grave this afternoon. A PfEAV USE FOR SAMPLERS. They arc Taking Their Place with Brie-a-Brac in the Parlor. Nkw York. March s.—The old-fash ioned samplers that our mothers and grandmothers worked when they were children have been removed from the garret or old ti unks where they have lain and have been placed in the parlor or library; in other words, they have become fashionable and have been called forth with antique lurniture and bric-a-brac. Who does not remember them? First came the alphabet, then a verse of so called poetry, then two impossible green dogs and two green trees. o( the Noah’s ark variety, and the whole to conclude, as the advertisements say. with the name and age of the worker. They are rather pretty, these dogs, in their quaint and attractive way, and certainly a warn ing to those not ol an industrious turn ot mind. A friend who told me she possessed both her grandmother’s and mothe: ’s said: “But there is one reason wiiv 1 cannot use them about my house.” On being asked why, she replied: “O dear! all our births are recorded ou the sam plers, the date worked with different colored silks.” That settled It; it was like parading what is to some the most sacred page in the family Bible, “The Biribs;” but taose ol you who have inber iied old samplers that have no compro mising dates, bring them forth as a unique ornament. A Priest pintle a Lieutenant, Tuscola, Ala., March 6.—Kev. P. M. Donohue, a young Catholic priest of Ar eola, who has charge of the churches of that denomination at Areola and in this oity, has just been created by Gen. Bou langer, French Minister of War, a Lieu tenant in the French army for service rendered. Father Donohue speaks the French and Italian langues fluently, and is something of a scientist. He is reticent us to what prompted the appointment, but it is belioved that it is lor valuable ser vices rendered. Charged With I tope. Montgomery, Ala., March 6.—John Powell, a colored boy, 19 years ol age, was arrested to-day charged with at tempting to rape a little girl named Lee, the daughter ol a respectable white man here. The crime was attempted in the second stjry of a building in the heart of the city, where the family lives. Powell was employed to do odd jobs about the rooms, aud seized an opportunity when both parents were absent and the child was alone. The child identified him after hia arrest.

"TWO ROADS OF THE SOUL.” Absence >f Restraints Leads to the Broad and Selfish Road. New York, March 6.—The other day I discovered a clergym an better worth re porting than most metropolitan ministers who get into print, and second euly to Beecher or Tulinage In originality, inter est and eloquence. This was the Rev. Dr. Chßrles H. Hall, of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn—a magnificent old gothic piie, unequaled in beauty and grandeur by any church on Filth avenue and only approached In cost by a very few. It is an Episcopal edifice with a High Church congregation and a choir of operatic pretensions' Ur. Hall preached on “The Two Roads of the Soul” —the broad one and the straight and narrow one. His Idea was that any absence of restraint puts us od the broad and selfish road, and he said the worn-out roue on that road would joggle against the pale and hollow-eyed Bible student who was injuring himself by an over-indulgence in study, as harmful as aDy other over indulgence. But the doctor was most startling when he came to address the fashionable ladies who burden their lives with thoughts ot low-necked dresses, pro gressive euobre, balls and dinners. He said they could profit by the exam ple of their kitchen servants, who are zealous in their obedience to the church, believe their priests are above the average of men, and think the Pope a great and wise man, “which I do not,” he added. Even outside their religious duties they have a life work, whose burden they cbeeriully carry, that of saving up from their hard-earned wages to send over and bring their relatives here “to this Paradise of Paddies,” as he called this country. It struck me that here was a clergyman worth reporting. The other day I found myself in church in Montreal. A Sunday morning in the French Cathedral of Notre Dams in Mon treal is an experience worth taking,apart from its religious benefits. The church is the biggest in America and is a gorge ous imitation, so far as wood and paint go, ol the great Notre Dame in Paris. But its greatest peculiarity is its French congregation. The Frenchman differs b ora the Anglo-Saxon in nothing so much as in his noisiness in pubiic gatherings. You have heard one person sneezing in a public hall, or you have been interested in the hacking' cough ot a neighbor in such a place. Please imagine 5,000 to 8,000 persons thus engaged. The church seats 10,000 and you quickly get the im pression that they have been saving up two things for that Sunday and your spe cial benefit; their colds and their wed ding notices. Hack, cough-cough, ab chew, s-s-s-ist is the continual chorus all around you. Cough-cough, ah-chew, hack-hack, it goes. Fancy it! literally thousands ot persons hard at work snilt mg, coughing, sneezing, blowing cornet blasts with their noses and clearing their throats as if they were planing wood by steam. To accentuate the singular melody there are lulls now and then—but only lor an instant. In a second somebody takes out his handkerchief and sounds a blatant challenge that sets nearly every man and woman in the church to doing their ut most to keep up the noise. It is a cold climate and snuff-taking community—and then it is just as much the fashion to make these noises in a French church as it is< the fashion*to repress them in an English church. Relief comes when the grand organ rolls out its vast volume of rich melody and the choristers within tne cnancel rail respond angelically to the cherubic tones ol the choristers up by the organ, a block away in the second gal lery. Against such odds the sneezers and cougbersand Knitters wisely reserve their energies, so tnat when the music ceases ibey are found to have new vigor. Then, once again the challenge is sounded by a man with the bugleistic nose, and away they all go hack-hack, cough-cough, shift, ah-obew. Not even the piping voice of the assist ant priest who reads the banns of the be trothed couples interrupts tne bronchial refrain, lie reads banns and he reads banns until you think he never will stop; until you iancy all the single folks in Canada are about to wed in order toescape some brutal English tax on single bless edness. “Encore” he says as he begins each new announcement, ana you uncon sciously find yourself waiting for the con tinuing conjunction and counting it each time it comes—3B, 39, 40, 41, ami so on, until that grows tiresome. “Piere Beton, son of Jacques Beton and Marie Beton, to Eloise Milard, daughter of Alphonse Miard and Venus Milard, nil of Bt. Con stance Parish, second publication. En core: Jean Bertrand, son of Jean Ber trand and Elise Bertrand, ot Quebec, to Blanche Mersoreau, daughter ot Aohille Mersoreau and Josephine Mersoreau, of the parish of Notre Dame. Encore.” On and on it goes like the rumble of trains on the elevated, like the noise of Broad way, like the endless call ot a peddler In the street, only that it never grows faint er. until at last when you feel that your dinner has gone and you transfer your thought to the promptness with which you will appear at supper, the priest says in French: “If any one has alight to sav why these weddings should not take place let him stand forth and proclaim the rea son.” A thing, by the way, which no one ever does, no matter what they know. Julian Ralph. GOSSIP OF THE STAGE. Blakely Hall Says it is a Season of Dramatic Failures. Nkw York, March s.—This season will go down in dramatic annals as the most unsatisfactory ono of recent years. The array of failures is impressive and dis heartening. “Jim the Penman” is a suc cess, and Mr. Daly’s revival of the “Taming of the Shrew” has won its way steadily from the stari, but the other plays have silently died away, and one production alter another has met with its doom almost as quickly us it was pro difficult it is to achieve success on the New York stare. A man of unquestionable genius and a comedian of national reputation, Mr. N. C. Goodwin, took the Bijou Theatre in the early part of the season and pro duced a burlesque which nas been the rare in Loudon ever since August. “Lit tle .lack Shepherd” was well written, lav ishly mounted and admirably played. It was not a success. Then a farce comedy which Mr. Goodwin bought in Loudon was brought out with a noticeably strong company and ran for a short season. The acting of Mr. Goodwin In this piece was wonderfully diverting and amusing, but he did not create a sensation by any moans. Then be produced the “Masootte,” and that was succeeded this week by the reproduction ol the “Skating Kink,” a clever skit on a silly craze by ltokert Grittin Morris. When it is taken into consideration that during his previous visits to New York Mr. Goodwin always played to the full capacity of immense theatres like the Grand Opera House and Niblo’s Gar den, it is difficult to understand how be has escuned a great success at a popular theatre like the Bijou when surrounded b.v the best conditions. Miss Helen Dauvray is another in stance of pluck and perseverance ex pended to no purpose. There is probably no more beautiful theatre In New York than the Lyceum, and Miss Dauvray. no no matter what opinion mav he held as to her powers as an actress, is a knowing stuge manager and a woman of excel lent artistic perception. Iler company Is admirable. Play aftsr play has been mounted at the Lyceum, acted with origi nality and skill—but not to crowded bouses. Miss Dauvray’s courage in pro ducing new plays and paying big prloes for them has not availed her in this case. The public simply will not go to her thea tre. The Fifth Avenue Theatre has been dis mal to the last decree. Failures have succeeded each other until they are all capped and sunk into oblivion by Gil bert and Sullivan's unfortunate “Rud dygore.” As for Wallack’s Theatre the variety of the failures seems to have no percep tible effect on it. Nobody knows exactly on what theory Wallaek’s is run. The house is no longer fashionable, for Daly has captured Its entire clientele, and its present silly melo-drama, “Harbor Lights.” only’ attracts people from out of town. There are capable actors in the company and the scenery and accessories are invarably beyond reproach. But the dramatic stuff that the theatre dishes up is trite, tiresome and antique. 1 have been in Wallack’s seven or eight times this season and have never vet seen the house full. As for the Union Square Theatre, its vicissitudes were so unfortunate and un important that no one has paid any par ticular attention to it. Nearly the same thing may be said of the Standard, and the misfortunes of the other houses would make tedious reading. Exactly what has contributed most to the unsatisfactory nature of the present season is difficult to indicate, for the fail ures have been diverse. Manv a plucky manager has dropped a fortune since Oc tober. and be is at a loss to know where the money has gone. And the public, too, complains, for there is no place to visit at night, and the loungers and men about town are discon solate. It is a great pity that in such a great city as New York there should be such a pro vincial spirit in amusement matters. The people who love to be diverted at night and are anxious and willing to pay for it find themselves obsalutelv at a loss. Tnere is nothing as a substitute for tbe Music Hail of London or the Cafe Cbanrant of Paris. Nowhere in a city of 2.OUO,O<K> inhabitants can a man find a place of amusement where he can sit and smoite a good cigar and find amusement, or be amused by a clever song lor an hour or two after dinner. The searcher for amusements in New York may go to a rigidly conducted and far from entertain ing theatre or he may stay at home. There is no such thing as a middlecbolce. Blakely Hall. TABLE ECCENTRICITIES. How a Skillful Carver Gained the Sobriquet of “Banana Bob.” New York. Jlarch s.—Eccentrioity at tbe dinner table seems to be tbe rage I bis season. Any startling or unique innova tion appears to be welcome. Tbe fresh young man, who cuts a human face on an orange, and then squeezes tbe fruit until the eyes weep ami ttie mouth driz zles, is in his glory. If ladies are at the table be takes great pleasure in exhibit ing his artistic skill. A few smile, some give vent to exclamations of commisera tion. and, others preserve a dignified silence. Peeling an orange geometrically is another accomplishment. Tbe yellow rind is cut in line* with a sharp pen knife until it resembles the “prisoner’s puzzle,” just now attracting so much attention. The skin is then stripped from tbe fruit in sections, making quaint angles, made amusing bv the explana tions accompanying them. The apple, tbe Malaga grape, the radish and the banana also afford much amusement In tne hands of accomplished artists. In deed one man has won such eclat by his skill in carving vegetables and esculents that he is known in society as “Banana Bob.” Frequently these dining table eccen tricities are turned into practical jokes. At a iittle dinner given to ex-Sberiff Wil liam Wright, of Newark, N. J., at George Hopei aft’s recently the guests were in a continual roar of laughter. The choco late cream candies were stuffed with cot ton, the lemon drops were made of gum guaiacum and the candled almonds were filled with Tabasco sauces. Vegetanles in covered dishes were placed on the table with each course, and tbe guests were asked to assist in serving them. In re moving the covers a live eel, an enormous bull-frog and a huge lizard from Lake Ontario were disclosed. All were ex tremely lively. The eel slipped within the low-cut waistcoat of the Sheriff, the bull-lrog landed on Fish Commissioner Charles Murphy’s shoulder, and the liz ard shot into the bosom of tbe wicked Senator Gibbs. An old shoe, mildewed and rotten, was placed before Mr. Mc- Swyny, a well-known shoemaker. He grew red in tbe face and was about to treat the joke as a mortal insult when the Hon. .James Oliver, of Paradise Park, turned the old shoe over, opened a slide in the sole and disclosed a dozen cigars of the finest flavor. The shoe was a can died dummy made to order. The 111 tie party became so boisterous in its merri ment that a police officer of Irish descent appeared. On seeing the condition of the table, the room and its occupants ne apologized for bis intrusion, saying: “tjlnn fane! shin fane! 1 thought yees were havin’a bit of a ruction, but it’s nothin’ but a shindy!” He improved the opportunity offered while all beads were turned listening to a good story to sweep the remains of the conlectionery Into his capacious coat pocket. The theft was discovered after his departure. “If his wile gets a choco late cream, his mother-in-law a lemon drop, and the youngest child an almond bean, what a happy time that, policeman will have after he gets home,” ob served the sheriff, and the hilarity was redoubled. l hear of dinners in the avenue, where living canaries fly out of the pies, and where bouquets ot choice flowers hooped with diamond rings are placed at the plate of each guest. At another enter tainment, tiny oil paintings on leaves of ivory depicted scents in the life of each guest. Uncle Uufus Hatch disnlayed an unmatched eccentricity prior to his de parture to Europe. He had invited a friend to dine with him in a private room at Morelli’s. Au excellent dinner was served. At its conclusion, and while the coffee was steaming, Uufus called for Cubauoß. They were brought. -‘Now bring us a light,” said the ex-magnate from Wall street. The waiter lighted a short snowy-wicked candle. Uufus raised the china candlestick io his mouth and lighted his cigar. He then replaced the stick on the table, and to the sur prise ot bis guest, took the lighted candle from its socket, put it in his mouth, ate and swallowed it. lie changed not a muscle of his countenance, hut there was a merry twinkle in his gray eyes. A simi lar candle was placed bolore tils guest, who also lighted his cigar. When asked why he did not eat the taper he replied that he was no Cossack. Thereupon Hu ll's opened his mouth and sent the second candle into his stomach alter the first one. It. was a week before the guest got an explanation of the mystery. The candles were parts of apples lashioned into rotund shape by the expert use of a penkulfe, and the wicks were the meats of almoods pared down and stuck iuto the top of the vegetable tapers. Ziska.
