THE JUDICIAEY CENTENNIAL.
A Distinguished Gathering Present at the
Celebration,
New Yoke. Feb. 4. The sad events of
the last few days at Washington, including
the bereavement of the Blaine family, and
the more tragic affliction to the home of
Secretary Tracy, dimmed considerably the
celebration of the centennial of the federal
judiciary, that was inaugurated this morning-
Tliu weather, too, seemed designed
to cast an additional gloom Over the great
affair, for as the morning passed away a
disagreeable rain set in. growing heavier
.is tho hour for the exercises approached.
The attendance at the literary exercises
In the Metropolitan opera house was the
mo-t noted that ever filled the magnificent
building. The interior of the building
was elaborately decorated. On the riht
of the stage, in the front row,
were seated tho members of the
United States court, Chief Justice
Fuller being directly beside ex-President
tJrover Cleveland, who presided. Others
Feated on the stage included ex-Justice
William Strong, Senator Evarts, T. J. J.
Fommes, of New Orleans; General William
T. Sherman, Noah Davis. Chauncey M.
Depew, W. W. Astor, Charles F. Daly and
David Dudley Field.
The overtures was from Zampa and the
American Fantasia Wheu the last air
had been played ex-President Cleveland
stepped forward, llu was cheered to tho
Dcho and it was some minutes before he
could spak. Bowing his acknowledge
ments and expressing his "appreciation of
the generous welcome accorded him, Mr.
Cleveland began his address, opening the
exercises.
SPEECHES OF THE DAY,
ZVIr. Cleveland spoke of tho benefits aris
ing from the establishment of the supremo
court. The lhost striking sentence of his
add i ess was as follows: 'Iu the creation
of the world the earth was without
form and void; darkness was upon the face
of the deep, until God said 'Let there be
light' and there was light. Iu thecreation
of the new nation our fiee institutions uero
without form and symmetry of strength
and the darkness of hopelessness brooded
over the nspirations of our people until a
light in the temple of justice entered from
the divine fountain of light and illumined
the work of the fathers of tho republic.
On this centennial day we will devotedly
thank Heaven for the revelation to thee
who formed our government of this source
of strength and light and for tho inspira
tion of disinterested patriotism and conse
crated devotion that established tho
tribunal which we today commemorate."
The Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, of Trinity
church, followed the ex-president and the
audience- rose and stood with bowed heads
while the reverend gentleman mado the
invocation.
Ex-Judge William H, Arnoux, chairman
of the judiciary centennial committee of
the New YorkState Bar association, next
delivered a brief address of welcome to the
court whose members sat in their black
robes and paid strict atteution.
The principal address of the day followed.
It was on the origin of the supreme court
of the United States and its place in che
constitution and the delivery was by the
veteran lawyer, " llliam Allen Butler,
LiL. D. - His remarks were fiequently in
terrupted by generous applause ana selec
ts ns from the orchestra followed the ad
dress of Mr. Butler.
The Hon. Henry Hichcock then spoke
on the powers ot the supreme court and
those of the constitution.
Mr. Hitchcock was followed by the Hou.
Thomas J. Seammes. of Louisiana, who
spoke on the "Pergonal characters of the
chief justic s." At the conclusion of this
address a brief intermission was taken,
after which there was more music, and
then the Rev. Ward J. Phelps., of Ver
mont, deliveied a law address on the '"Su
preme Court and the Sovereignity of the
People."
Chief Justice Fuller then introduced
Justice Field, who responded on
behalf of the supreme court,
the justice reviewed the history of the
constitution, explained the utility of, ami
the necessity for the existence of the su
preme court, and comiug dowu to the
needs of that body said that it should not
'e overborne with work and should have
some relief from the immense burdens
ca-t upon it. Something should be done,
mid tione speedily, to prevent delays to
Bints, for delay to justice was as perilous
us to deny it.
After Mr. Justice Fields' address there
was more music and then the Rev. Talbott
Chambers pronounced the benediction and
"ended the liter-iry exercise-.
THE BANQCET AND PARTICIPANTS.
The dinner celebration of the supreme
tourt centennial was held tonight at the
Lenox lyceum. The banquet hidl was a
mass of flowers and vines and presented a
beautiful picture. Covers were laid for
SiO guests and nearly every seat was occu
pied. A Japanese village scene painted
on canvass was on a stage at the end of
the hall and was curtained at each side
with sniilax. Over the entrance on Madi
son avenue was perched a large eagle
which held in its beak a lare
silk flag. The form of "Justice?"
of conrse, was prominent-ami besides this
subject appeared minature Washmgtons,
Franklins, Lmcolns and other distin
guished .Americans.
Tho platform table was set for twenty
six persons. It was presided over by
James C Carter, chairman of the enter
tainment committee, and among his
guests were Chief Justice Melville W.
Fuller, esf-President Cleveland, Matthew
Hale, of Albany, president of the New
York State Bar association. Associate jus
tices Samuel F. Miller, of tho
supreme court, ex-Judge Will
iam H. Arnoux, of New York,
chairman of the general judiciary cen
tennial committee of 100, Associate Justice
John M. Harlan, of the supreme court,
Chauncey M. Depew, Rev. William R.
Huntington, Associate Justice Stephen J.
Field, of the supreme court, President
Frederick R. Coudert, of the bar of the
city of New York, Henry Hitchcock, of
Missouri, Associate Justice Gray, Associ
ate Justice L. Q. C. Lamar, United States
Senator William M. Evarts, Associate Jus
tice David J. Brewer, Chief Justice Pax
ton, of Pcnns3Tlvania, Mayor Grant and
President Lowe of Columbia college.
The menu was a most elaborate one.
Before it was concluded the ladies begau
to take their places in tho boxes. The
toast of the president of the United States
was drunk standing after Mr. Carter had
made a brief address. The next toast was
"the supreme court," and it was re
suonded to by Associate Justice Harlan, of
the supreme court.
He began by reference to the co-ordinate
responsibility of lawyers and judges, cit
ing that as are the lawyers of a given
period so are the courts before which they
appear. If the decisions of the supreme
court had been commended in any in
stance it must be speedily added that
their preparation was preceded
and aided by arguments at its
bar, of which may be said what Mr. Jus
tice Fuller observed of certain judgments
of Lord Mansfield, that they were of such
transcendent power that those who heard
them were lo;t in admiration at the
"strength and stretch of the human under
standing." Mr. Harlan paid high tribute
to the great names that had graced the
bar of New York state, and to the highest
courts of all the states.

PROTECTED TOR MONEY.
A Moorish Citizen Shows How Consul
lewis Sold His Influence.
TAXGiEn, Feb. 4. Tne Times of Moroc
co today under the caption of "A plain un
varnished tale" prints the following as a
leading article: A few days ago a poor
Moor came to us in great distress and ask
ed our advice and assistance. He said: "In
the niontlr" of February last I had been
much oppressed by the sheikh of my dis
trict and having heard that christiau pro
tection was to be had in Tangier at a
moderate price, my family desired mo to
go to Tangier and make inquiry with a
view of purchasing one, if 1 found
the price within our means. So I arose and
took a present iu my hand and came to
Tangier. I was directed to the house of
one Solomon Azogue, a Jew, with whom I
found two other persons. One was his
brother, called Yakoob, and tho other
Abraham Amzlen. I never saw any of
them before. In answer to my inquiries
they told mo they could sell me a very
strong protection for 100, which would
cover myself and all my family. I
told them plainly we could not
pay any money down but wo would give
onr piotector part of our crops and in
crease in our sheep and cattle year after
year. They then took me to the private
house of Mr. Consul Lewis. They had
some conversation with the consul which
I did not understand and then told me he
had consented to take &S3 cash down and
that they had agreed to pay the money for
me. but it would be necessary for me
make n paper pretending to sell
all my property to them for that amount,
so as to secure them, but they would take
the payment in fhe annual installments.
They fetched a bag containing So. Then
we weut to the public notary's where tor
the SS5 I conveyed in a document one-half
my property to Solomon Ozogue
and the 'other half to Abra
ham Amzelem. After counting and
receiving the tS3 I gave the money back to
Ozogne. lie said he would take it to tho
consul and in return he gave me the fol
lowing document:
United States consulate, Tangier,
Morocco. The first day of March 1S69.
Certificate of partnership between Abra
ham Amzlen, of Tangier, a citizen of
the United States of America, and
Sid Mohammed Ber 1 Maholem
El ilasan Juid El Emsawiv, of Tangier, a
subject of the sultan. Upou application
of the above named citizen of the United
States this certificate is issued for the in
formation of the Moorish government in
order that none of the terms ot treaties
covering the above named Moorish sub
ject may ba violated by Moorish officials.
Signed William Reed Lewis,
Uuited States Consul for Morocco.
TSeal.
1 weut home rejoicing and my family
was very happy for about twenty days,
until I received two letters from Azogue
and Amzleni asking mo to come to Tan
gier and pay my debts, amounting to SS3.
1 went to Tangier to seek an explanation.
They treated me harshly and said I must
pay the whole amount or go to prison,
paying no atteutiou to my explanations
that they had promised mo five years in
which to pay. Then Solomon Azogue, his
brother and Amzlem and Juniato, who
acted as interpreter, and I went to Consul
Lewis. Th$ two brothers Ozogue and
Amzlem and Consul Lewis went to an
other room. I was not called. Shortly
after the three Jews came out. They said:
"Consul Lewis is going to punish you se
verely." Greatly alarmed I hastened home. Fif
teen days after the shiek took from me all
my animal", thirty-six in all, and sent
mo a prisouer to Tangier. Three days af
ter I had been in prison my brothers, who
had followed me to Tangier, borrowed SS5
from two Jews named Moses Pelhoand
Moses Mughi. lo do this they mortgaged
all our lamily property for $125, payment
being due in in three months. They also
borrowed $30 more to pay the expenses of
my arrest and imprisonment and the seiz
ure of my property. Tho $30 we were
obliged to pay as soon as possi
ble, and that is all that we have
been able to raise at present and now we
are in worse difficulty than ever. Tne
Jews demanded their money and have the
right to take all our property and put all
three of us iu prison until the whole debt
is is paid, together with all the expenses,
which would, of course, be three times as
muchasbefore, and all our property may
be seized android at prices far below its
value and ifweg t into prison there is uo
hope of ourliviue even to come out agaiu
because there is no one to help us. What
can we do?"
The only thing to be done to save this
"unfortunate Moorish family from ruin
aud death is for the United Suites govern
ment to settle the claim of the Jews and
pay all the expenses than have been in
curred iu and about the matter. They had
no manuer of right to send a representa
tive here aud maiutaiu htm in his position
year after year to swindle and then im
prison poor hard working people.

PARNELL FULLY VINDICATED.
London, Feb. 4. The Star (T. P. O'Con
ners' paper) in an article on the victory of
Mr. Paruell in his suit agaiust the Times
says that Mr. Parnell has legnlly rein
stated his character in the face of a tri
bunal packed by his enemies, on the treas
ury bench. If he had failed to establish
his case he must be reinstated with appro
priate honors.
The Pall Mall Gazette says that Mr.
Parnell has won a complete victory, both
morally and materially.
The St. James Gazette attributes Mr.
Parnell's acceptance of a compromise to
his desire to avoid cross-examination in
the libel suit.
Dublin, Feb. 4. The Freemans' Journal
calls the deuouement in Mr. Parnell's case
"The Times' Sedan." Nothing in historv,
it says, is more craven thau the course of
the Times.

DUKE OF MONTPENSIER DEAD.
Madrid, Feb. 4. The duke of Montpen
sier, Antonie Marie Phillippe Louisr d'Or
leans, died suddenly today at San Lucas.
He was the fifth son of Loals Phillippe
and was 60 years old. In his youth he was
an officer of artillery and saw real service
in Africa. He had been a conspicuous fig
ure in Europe since 1844, the date of "the
famous Spanish marriage" by which
he was united to Marie Louise -Ferdinand
de Bourbon, sister of Qneen
Isabella. This marriage was planned by
Louis Phillippe and Guizot and was in
tended to put a French prince on the
throne of Spain. Montpensier was one
of the candidates for the throne when
Amadoe, of Savory, was chosen. The
cause of the Duke of Montpensier's death
is believed to be apoplexy. He will be
buried in the palace of the Escurial.
IOWA'S LEGISLATIVE SQUABBLE.
Des Moines, la., Feb. 4. The session o
the house lasted about an hour today.
After the opening exercises Senator
Bolter introduced resolutions adopted by
the G. A. R. post condemning the action
of the senate in electing civilians to tha
minor offices in its gift. Objection was
raised to the matter going on file because
it was in disrespectful language and was
not a faithful representation of the facts.
The Democrats spoke very strongly in
favor of having the resolutions go ou rec
ord and the Republicans against it. The
chair finally ruled that for reasons as
signed the paper should not go on file.

THE "TIMES" STATEMENT.
London, Feb. 4. Mr. Soames, the
Times' solicitor, says the Times will only
pay ordinary costs to Mr. Parnell and that
Mr- Parnell is not released from the pay
inert of the interlocutory costs which were
awarded to the Times, nor from the cost
of the abortive Scotch Irish actions. He
says the statemeut that the Times proposed
a compromise is inaccurate.

Slarraesia, a Cure for Warts.
It is fairly established that the common
wart, which is so unsightly and often so pro
liferous on tho hands and face, can be easily
removed by small doses of sulphate of mag
nesia .taken internally, if. Colrat, of Lyons,
has drawn attention to this extraordinary
fact. Several children treated with three
grain doses of Epsom salts, morning and
evening, wera promptly cured. 1L Aubert
cites tho caso of a woman whose face "was dis
figured by these excrescences, and who was
cured in a month by 1J drams of magnesia
taken daily. Another medical man reports
a case of very large warts which disappeared
in a fortnight from the daily administration
of 10 grains of tho salts.
Chloroform for Delirium Tremens.
A physician gives an account in The Medi
cal Record of a case of delirium tremens, in
which tonic spasms were but partially over
come by the inhalation of six ounces of
chloroform. He then gave chloroform in
ternally in teaspoonful doses every fifteen or
twenty minutes. Six of these controlled the
patient, and the.next day ho was able to go
out, though not entirely recovered from his
two weeks' spree. Ho was a large, muscular
man, and there was no question that the con
vulsions resulted from excess of alcohol.
Alum in Bread.
Alum owes its power of blanching tho
paste of bread not to tho alumina which it
contains, or to the combination of this earth
with the gluten, but to the sulphuric acid
liberated by tho forma.tion.of aluminum al
buminate. According to Nothnagel and
Rossbach, tho prolonged daily uso of alum
occasions gastric disturbances not unimpor
tant. The author finds that the artificial
gastric digestion of alumed bread effects the
solution of all tho alum present. Hence it is
possible that a quantity of alumina may en
ter the circulation daily.
Effect of Arsenic on the Skin.
Somo women uso arsenic for tho purpose of
obtaining a pearly whiteness of skin. Prom
inent physicians in New York call attention
to tho frightfully rapid spread of this custom
among the uneducated class. One of them
says: "Tho cause of tho transparent white
ness of tho skin is that the ends of tho blood
vessels are killed. The arsenic also destroys
theaction of the kidneys, and inevitably brings
on a fatal disease of the digestive organs."
Sterilized Milk for Children.
Since Aug. 1, according to Medical News,
sterilized milk has been furnished to children
under treatment at tho Philadelphia Poly
clinic. The milk is sterilized by the Visiting
Nurse society of Philadelphia, and taken to
tho child by the nurse in attendance in the
bottles in which it is prepared. Milk and
bottles are furnished the paronts at cost. The
results have been excellent.
One Thins and Another.
Tho principal medical periodicals of the
world are about 268 in number, of which 174
aro published in tho United States and 92 in
all other countries.
Dr. Walker, of Brooklyn, finds from statis
tics that tho common belief is not sustained
that infant mortality in this country has de
creased of lato years.
Dr. Hfbbcrd maintains that it is not the in
sufficiently clothed person who is most sub
ject to colds, but the one who is ovarclad.
SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
A. Few Practical Suggestions for Gentle
men Callers.
A man that can command his time may
make ceremonious calls, in moss of the-largo
cities, at any hour between 2 and 5 in the
afternoon, and tho man that has not the
leisure to call during the af teraoon may make
calls in tho evening after half past 8. The
careless, ignorant or over eager sometimes
call earlier, for fear the lady may be oat; but
this is not considered good usage.
If during your call another visitor should
arrive, you should not appear to sbun him,
but should wait two or three minates and
join in the conversation before yon take
leave. Persons that outsit two or three call
ers, unless there is soma special reason for
their doing so, are in danger of being called
bores, who are persons that have not suffi
cient tact to know when they should take
leave.
It is often no easy matter either to know
when to take leavo or how to take leave
gracefully. As a rule, avoid all such obssrva
tions as '"Well, I think it is tune for me to
bo going,'' and da not look at your watch.
The best way to make one'-sexit, whether the
conversation has b?gun to flag or not, is to
say something effective and withdraw imme
diately thereafter. Above all, do not pro
long your leavo raking. When yoa start to
go, go. Interminable leavetakers are very
tiresome.
A man should navcr offer to shako hands
with persons on whom ba calls. If, however,
tboss en whom a man calls offer him thc.r
hands when he arrives, he may offer men.

The House. iB Which tie Iareatar of the
Steam Engine, the Copying Press and
Many Other Useful Appliances in the
Manufacturing Arts Was Born.
The inventor of the condensing low pres
sure steam engine was certainly one of the
greatest benefactors of mankind. James
Watt was born at Greenock, on the Clyde, ia
1736. The house in which he was born, No.
IS Dalrymple street, in that town, has lately
been palled down by the Greenock improve
ment commissioners. A sketch of it was first
made, which is here reproduced for the bene
fit of young readers who may entertain some
curiosity about the birthplace of one of the
world's noted men.

THE BIBTIirLACE OF JAMES WATT.
The position of the building will be marked
by a memorial tablet on the new building to
be erected on this site. James "Watt, in his
youth, was apprenticed to a maker of mathe
matical instruments. He begau, at the age
of 20, to make experiments with steam as a
motive power. In 1770 he commenced prac
tice as an engineer, and in 1774 entered into
partnership with Mr. Matthew Boulton, of
the Soho works, at Birmingham, where his
grand inventions were applied with speedy
success and results of amazing magnitude.
James Watt retired from business in 1S00 and
died in 1819. He was the inventor also of the
copying press, of improvements in the process
of bleaching and of many useful appliances
in the manufacturing arts.

A Simple Experiment.
An interesting" little experiment or trick is
that of floating a needle. Get a glass of water
and a needle and try to make the needle float.
All that is required is a little skill, which
practice will give. In tho same way an or
dinary steel pen may sometimes bo floated in
water. If you havo a magnet and rub it on
tho needle before the latter is placed in the
water, it will point, like a compass, to tho
magnetic pole when floating, no matter what
way it may point when first placed in tha
liquid.
Two Faithful Boss.
Little ATon and Women tells tho very little
folks a story about two faithful dogs, of which
it gives a picture. The dogs were lost in the
snow with their master. Tho snow was so
deep he could go no further, and sank down,
quite tired out.
The day passed and he could not go on, and
no help came, and by and by ho (lied But
the dogs would not leavo him. They sat by
him, and licked his cold face and hands, try
ing to rouse him.
TIIEr CABRT THB MEAT TO THE1B MASTER.
Nobody knows how long they staid there.
But one day some men f oaad them. They
saw them a little way off and called them.
The dogs conld hardly crawl, they were so
lean and weak, for all this time they had had
nothing to eat. They would not leave their
master to look for food.
But when the men gave them meat, did
these starving dogs e3t it? No; they took it
in their mouths and laid it beside their dead
master, thinking, I suppose, that then he
would oixm his eves and speak to theau.

An ingenious woman recently had fitted
up an ornamental corner in her boudoir, as
follows: There was a long strip of glass, with
a narrow drapery of art muslin on each side,
festooned at the top. Tnis opened outwards,
aad disclosed shelves as the way up, holding
all sorts of things. At a convenient height
was a three cornered piece of wood, forming
a table, covered with plush, festooned at the
edge, and falling on to the curtains of art
muslin. These were looped back to show a
square of haadsoaie embroidery, intended
originally for a cushion. The effect was

It is believed that with all the usual precaa

surface so as to test the chances of remaining
vitality. It was observed in London. Notes
and Queries, in 1S52, as follows;
It is now above twenty years since this
paragraph appeared in the London papers:
"A correspondent in The Bath Herald states
the following singular circumstance: 'Hav
ing occasion last week to inspect a grave in
one of tho parishes in this city, in which two
or three members of a family had been buried
some years since, and which lay in very wet
ground, I observed thatt&e upper part of the

pass that I did not observe the usual sockets
of the eyes in tho skulL ha replied that what
I saw was the hind part of the head (termed
the occiput, I believe, by anatomists), and
that the face was turned, as usual, to the
earth. Not exactly understanding his phrase
"as usual," I inquired if tho body had been
buried with the face upward, as in the ordi
nary way; to which he replied, to my aston
ishment, in the affirmative, adding that in
the course of decomposition the face of every
individual turns to the earth; and that in the
experience of three-and-twenty years iu his
situation, he had never known more than
one instance to the contrary.'"
Mr. William Adams, of this city, states
that while in ilunich, Bavaria, this last sum
mer, he and his party visited an arcade m
which the bodies of the dead rest forty-eight
hours before final buriaL Each body lies
exposed, and a cord which bangs from the
roof and has a ring attached to its end, which
ring is slipped on to one of the rigid fingers,
communicates with the porter's lodge. If
any body thus arranged comes to life again
and the finger with tho ring moves, a bell
rings in the lodge and the porter at once be
takes himself to the arcado to ascertain the'
cause. Arcades of this description, says Mr.
Adams, are located at various points through
out Bavaria. He made inquiry as to whether
this plan had ever resulted in the revival ot
life in any body, and was informed that
some years ago a child was laid out in the
arcade in the manner described; that during
the night the bell in the porter's lodge rang;
that the porter immediately went to the
place indicated by the signal and found the
child sitting up; that she was taken caro of,
and is now a young woman about 23 years
old. This one case was as good as a thousand
in demonstrating the utility of the Bavarian
system.
Hurtful Occupations.
Thero aro many occupations in which the
eyes have to suffer, as very small objects
must be critically scrutinized, frequently by
artificial light. The objects, in order to bo
distinctly seon, must be brought quite near
tho eye. This necessitates great straining of
tho eye. Thoeyeball being compressed some
what by the muscles causes congestion, which
is increased by artificial light in which there
is excessive heat. Rays of yellow color are
very trying to the eyes. Engravers, lapida
ries, watchmakers and sowing girls are sub
ject to affections of the eyes, due to tbove
mentioned causes. They lead a sedentary
life, sitting at work in a constrained attitude,
with the body bent forward and shoulders
rounded, so that the thoracic movements are
interfered with. This produces consumption.
the cases of this disease among engravers
and seamstresses being very numerous. En
gravers are also subject to spasms in their
fingers, with disease of the skin on the hands
and forearms.
Watchmakers who do tho repairing have
tho nail on tho right thumb thickened and
scaly from their manner of opening watches.
Tho nails on tho thumb and index finger of
the left hand show at the point where they
approach each other, in order to hold delicate
pieces, a worn appearance and almost com
plete destruction produced by the constant
rubbing of the file. Seamstresses aro some
times poisoned by tho stuffs they work npon.
Many instances havo occurred of arsenical
poisoning in those who 6ewed green, goods
which are colored with arsenical salts. A
physician of Boston found 8.31 grains of it in
one square foot of goods. An itching, eczema
tous eruption has been produced by tissues
colored with the bright aniliua dyes. Silk
thread is also soaked in the acetate of
lead to increase its weight, and persons
who pass it through tho mouth in threading
needles, and then bite it oft with the teeth,
have suffered from lead poisoning. The in
fluence of sewing nuichines on the health of
women has often been discussed by eminent
men with conflicting arguments and evidence.
The most elaborate investigation is by Du
chesne. He found t'oat women suffered from
muscular pain and great fatigue of tho lower
limbs, with dyspepsia and other evils; while
other writers agree that moderate work on
tho sewing machine is rather beneficial for
health than otherwise, and that only where
women work from eight to ten hours at tho
treadle evil results are apparent. It socms
clear, therefore, that the chief source of their
troubles is fatigue, which, with their habits
of life, food, associations, eta, fully accounts
for the symptoms. As the health of women
is vastly more important to the national
vigor than that of men, special care should
ever bo taken to guard it. Boston Globe.
A National Song.
The Star Spangled Banner" was composed
by Franci3 Scott Key, on American, at the
time detained on the British cartel ship Min
den, dnring tho bombardment-of Fort llc
Henry, Baltimore, Sept. 14, 1S14. Key and a
friend had gone down from Baltimore to ths
British fleet to obtain the release of a Dr.
Beanes. They obtained it, bat were not al
lowed to return to the city becsaeo tho bom
bardment was to begin. Key wrote the
song oa the back of a letter he had in hii
pocket as he walked np and down the deck.
Oa his return he read the song to his uncle,
Judge Nicholson, who had it printed, aud
Charles Darang sang it in a resteoraa. ca

The carved dish is then handed round by
the waiters, and when all the guests are
served it is placed, if the dish be important
enough, on a hot water stand in front of the
host or hostess, or in the same condition on a
side table, awaiting the needs of the guests.
I am speaking, says Mr. Child, always of,
dinners where the number of tho guests is
wisely limited; no other dinners can be well
served, so that it matters little whether they
be served a la russo or a la frxacaise. By
the fusion of tho two systems, as above indi
cated, it is possible to give full and entire
satisfaction to the cook, who always has a
right to demand that his creations shall be
presented for judgment ia the most favor
able conditions, while at the same time the
guests have their eyes satisfied by an agree
ably arranged table, and their palates re
spected by being enabled to tasto the delicate
masterpieces of the cook in all the freshness
of their savory succulence."

Trimmings for Cradle and Baby Basket.
The prettiest trimming for the cradle and
the baby's basket is either muslin and lace or
soft croara silk and lace, but cretonne lasts
clean longer and stands hard wear, trimmed
with ball fringe. Thero should bo a horsehair
mattress and a feather bed. The pillow is
generally arched, that is, shaped to the cradle
at tho top. Tho quilt can bo made of quilted
satin, edged with lace, or quilted nun's Tell

A New TMvap Screen.
In the dainty little table screens for lamp
or candle are found objects not only very
decorative but quito-uscful at times, as well.
One of the prettiest and most convenient
forms of these is tho three fold shade repre
