••Truth's" Opinio a of Mrs. Mackay.

Meissonier was absent from a recent reception given by Mr. and MIB. Levi ^P. Morton, in Paris. "Had he come," 3aays Truth (London), ''he wonld have J,^fallen in with Mrs. Mackay, who looked f'.as nice as nice could be in a very aim »'pie pale-rose dress, with a dog-collar of small black pearls around her neck.

She spoke in really kind terms of the illustrious old painter. Mrs. Mackay,v adds the writer, "has a face and a figure which Dickens would have liked to sketch in one of his genial and halfsentimental moods. It would be outrageously false to say she had classic beauty, or anything statuesque beyond good proportions. She is not tall, she is not imposing, bat she has a prettily-rounded figure that looks well in plain or fine clothes, freshness, piquancy, transparency of disposition and nothing that shows egotistical selfassertion or self-worship. She left the reception early, te go home, I was told, and see that Russell Young's child, whom she adopted when its mother died, had been properly bathed and put to bed. Her features are wellshaped and regular, though not classical, and her eyes are full bluish-grey and 'candid. Miss Nevada, her goddaughter (who was in bright pink tulle and dark pearls) was with her. Cabanel has just done a portrait of Mrs. Mackay, which satisfies all her friends. He was at the reception. He if whitehaired, has white mustachios, and bushy white eyebrows yet he does not look old."

Household Hints. k.V"':

Hard sauce flavored with pind-apple and arranged in the form of one, is a nice addition to corn-starch blancmange. Make it by mixing two tablespoonfuls of butter with four heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar, or in this proportion.

Three baths a week are considered a sufficient number for a year-old baby with feeble digestive organs. The water should not be too warm, but it certainly should not be cold. Bub baby as rapidly and as roughly as you can without making him cry.

The latest tidy in macrame is made of one strip of \af&, with a space left for abroad ribbon, just one, then putin a deep fringe. Measure the spaces in the ribbon accurately, and on those parts that are to appear between the meshes embroider rosebuds and green leaves.

An excellent way to warm over potatoes is to put a lump of butter into a sauce pan as it melts add a tablespoonful of nonr, stirring it so that it will not burn, then pour in a cup of Bweet lailk if half cream it will be all the better season with salt and pepper stir it with a spoon so that the ingredients will be well mixed, and then put in sliced cold boiled potatoes let them boil for a few moments send to the table hot.

A most excellent dish for dessert is made of a cake about an inch and a half deep after it is baked. The cake should not be rich. Put a light meringue on the top, brown this in the oven, cut the cake in equare pieces, 'and serve warm with wine sauce, or •with lemon sauce. The sauce must be at the boiling point, and it should be poured around the cake so that it will penetrate it readily. If properly made, 'kin fa ^alimnna

.his is delicious. Pretty comforts for the beds in summer are made of the so-called barbette veilings, which can be bought for a few cents a yard. The scarlet make very pretty ones if tufted with white ana hutton-holed around the edge 'with Germantown or some similar wool, after being cut in deep and good-

"""^•^uajzed scallops. A good breakfast dish is made by chopping some ham quite fine put it •%. into a frying-pan with a lump ot butter, season with black pepper when this is hot pour over it enough eggs, that you have broken in a bowl, to cover the ham. When these are done take the eggs and ham on a platter do this carefully so that the eggs will be on the top.

If it is thought better to give a sick persop bits of ice instead of allowing Jnim to drink a great deal of cold water, wrap a small piece of ice in a clean white flannel cloth, put it into a bowl and let it stand by the bedside provide along pin—a hat pin is best with this small pieces of the ice can be detached with little effort, and no one need touch them with the fingers, as they can be carried to the mouth with a teaspoon.

stale

Dolicious fritters may have bread for the foundation if carets taken in removing any or all of the crust that is dark brown, the fritters will be light colored and very inviting in appearance. Eggs are a gocd ad dition in the proportion of four eggs to one quart of sweet milk a saltspoonfu) of salt, and four or five slices of bread are also required. The bread Bhould lie soaking in the milk for two hours. It can be broken into small bits, and then it will not be lumpy.

Nothing is more distressing to a sick person, who is not quite ill enough to give up all worldly thoughts, than to have the doctor at his morning call find the room disarranged and the patient in a night-dress, not fresh and neat in appearance. It should be the first care of the one in charge of the house to see that this state of things shall not exist. As long as the room must be attended to at some time during the day, why not do it when the greatest amount of comfort would result from it?

A Tcorrespondent asks how fruit should be prepared so that the juice can be used for flavoring and coloring ice cream. The way in which most housewives «lo ihis iB to allow the whole berries fco stand for about three hours, if th&y are fresh, with sugar scattered over them, then the berries are mashed, and the juice is strained sugar should be added until it suite the taste, and the juice may then be mixed with the cream. One quart of fruit is the usual allowance for one quart of cream. One pound of sugar is not too liberal an allowance of sugar.

Pretty curtains for the dining-room are made pf plain colored material, whether Canton flannel, cretonne or estteen on the edge pufa broad band or border of flowered cretonne. This should be worked with crewels and

lines of the figures alone are worked and only a few stitches here and thenid the center of the flowers, yuu wili ntitl have, without great labor, a veiv elegant curtain. These em tame are particularly pretty and appropriate for winter, ami working the border will irn:ati pleasant employment for odd moments.

Fashion Not**

Wide collars are most fashionable for boys'* wear. [.adips are wearing more masculine 1-okliig cravats tban ever.

The summer bonnets ar«s even more mK-risc plc than those of last winterHeals are more and more generally used on letters and gray wax is used In preference to other colors.

Piou collars are still worn and for itegltge costumes colored and striped II nen Is used for collars and caffs.

Mack pearl ornaments are used instead of jet by ladles in second mourning. They are pretty, but expensive.

Shade bats for tbe seashore .are trim med with enormous bows of wide ribbon such as is used for children's sashes.

Linens, colored cambrics and cheviots well covered witb rather bizarre sporting patterns are popular for boy's shins.

Silver brAid is much used on Parisian made dresses and wraps, and when used Jodiclously is avery ornamental and effect! ve trim in Ing.

Pretty bonnet-* are made of alternate rows of silver braid and straw of dark shades, such as garnet, smoke color and black.

A custom of brown cashmere, with a vest of chamois skin, is perhaps a rather surprising combination, nut is nevertheless quite pretty and effective.

Tbe beautiful wide ribbed corduroys for little boys'suits are very stylish and serviceable. Brown, myrtle green and gray are tbe colors rnosl used.

Kid bollces to ball skirts are worn by some elegantes who take a pride in glove' fitting garments. As they are difficult to fit, and only look well when quite per feet, they are uncommon.

A pretty idea, which is at present a French custom, is the lace handkerchief, which is the gift of tbe bridegroom to his bride. This is wound about the terns of the bridal bouquet, instead of lace paper.

Bailor bats with wide brims will still be worn by boys from four to eight years old, and the tight Jersey cloth sknil cap will be worn with suits made of Jersey .cloth, which are so useful at tbe seashore.

Sofit pongee silks, with printed patterns, and th6 ever-favorite foulards, of all the materinlnf or serviceable dresses, take the lead this season, and they are shown in a •multitudinous variety oi colors and deisigns.

Riding habits for summer may be made of heavy brown linen, with vest and lapels of white pique. Hiding boots worn with these habits are made of goat si: In. The high silk hats are worn, though they are never becoming.

Very pretty are the diaphanous stuflb for summer full-dross occasions, such as embroidered mulls, silk tissue and telle. As they are very delicate and very costly, but few yards are used on the dress, and this Is quite enough to give an effect. Flowers and fruits are the designs most seen.

Most of the summer travellngcostumes ire made of wool, cashmeres and cheviots being made as nearly as possible In the style of the severe tailor-made suits. The French deartnateura have taken tbe edge qff this extreme severity of English fashion by introducing the vest and braiding.

Ladies who use the tricycle in England wear a dress made of dark blue serge, tbe skirt kilted or tucked, with Jersey waiat and pantaloons as for riding habits. This dress obviates the necessity of man, under-garments and will not' catch tbe dust. Compactness is the aim of these dresses.

It is no longer fashionable to wear Jewelry in the street or in calling: nothing but the simplest of round-headed silver or gold pins are used at the throat, and if earrlngB they must be of tbe most modest description. The collar fltud should be of hammered gold or silver, with or without Rhinestone.

A Coiffeur as a Loan Broker. Paris News. Mme. Le Movne, daughter of the Eiuchesse de la Moskowa, recently found herself in need of a loan of 150,000 francs. Because of certain scandalous quarrels between them, Mme. Le Moyne was not inclined to apply to her wealthy mother for assistance, and she took her hair-dresser into her confidence. He agreed to negotiate for the loan, and did so, but failed to secure it. One of the persons asked to advance the money was M. Cantin, the director of the Bouffes Paris jens. After considering the matter for several days, he declined, giving as a reason that the Duchesse de Moskowa seemed to be "holding her own" very well, and might last for this life ten or fifteen years longer that her daughter might die before her, and that he would then have to whistle for his money. By this time Mme. Le Moyne's affairs had so much mended that she no longer felt the pressing need of a loan, and she told her hairdresser that it was not worth while to continue his negotiations. He thereupon claimed 4,000 francs as compensation for his trouble. The case was yesterday before one of the civil tribunals of tbe Seine. It was decided that the negotiator was entitled to nothing, as he did not accomplish the object for which he was employed.

Who Mrs. Grundy Was.

Notes and Queries. Who was Mrs. Grundy? It seems ptrange, indeed, that so little should be known about the antecedents of Mrs. Grundy, who ia always so anxiouB to know about other people, but the fact must be admitted that Mrs. Grundy's origin is enveloped in profound mystery. Nobody knows who she was or how she first entered socir ety. She was not even a character in a play, like the immortal Mrs. Malaprop. She first made known her existence to the public on the 18th of February. 1800, in a drama entitled "Speea the Plough," by Thomas Morton, where one of the characters alludes frequently to her mysterious influence by the words, "What will Mrs. Grundy Bay?" Besides this nothing is known of her. There is, of course, the possibility that she was tbe wife of Solomon Grundy, of the nursery rhyme, who was born on Monday, christened on Tuesday, etc., and got through his existence on Sunday, for the rhyme expressly says that Solomon was married on Wednesday. Perhaps Solomon Grundy was a solar myth, and Mrs. Grundy something of the same kind. Thomas Morton is unfortunately dead aud he has carried the secret to the tomb, and once more the world, which knows so little about its greatest men, wilt bo deprived of all further knowledge of one of its most interesting women.

No Time to Goto Chicago. "Why don't you go to Chicago and he a statesman was the first question lut by Justice Duffy yesterday to a sleepy-looking tramp who was brought to the Tombs on & charge of vagrancy. "Ain't got no time," said the man.

What is yonr name!" Oh, anything I'm not particular. Chester A. Arthur will do." "No, I won't call you that. It might bring bad luck to him and he may lose tbe nomination." "No he won't, judge I'm a lucky dog." said the tramp. "Your appearance so indicates. How do you pass your time?" "Looking for grub" "And stale beer. Six months," said the court. "You will come out in time to vote for Chester A. Arthur if he gets the nomination."

A Wily Toast master.

Philadelphia Press. Not long since Mr. J. Russell Lowell was'present at a London dinner at which hedid not expect to speak, and hence he was not prepared. Toward the end of the feast, however, the obsequious toastmaster approached him and put into his hands the usual slip of paper, which, in nine cases out of ten, provokes immediate indisposition. In real or feigned horror the American minister exclaimed "What! Am I to speak? Why on earth didn't you give me notice?" "Bless you," replied the toastmaster, we never do if we was to we should have a gdat talking all night"

Dr. Grace Wolcott, daughter of Ool. J. W. Wolcott, of the Vendome, who intly graduated with high honors at the Women's Medical college in Philadelphia, is attracting considerable

THE WIDOW'S MYSTEEY.

Mrs. Nelly Archer was one of the prettiest little widows that ever looked facinating in tbe flutter of blaek ribbons and transparent crape yet somehow, no one was ever jealous of the affectionate, warm-hearted, beautiful widow. For was she not always ready to help the helpless* care for the careless, and think for the thoughtless? You couldn't help "wondering what people did in the benighted times before Mrs. Archer came on the stage of life, so indispensable did she seem to human comfort.

So, of coarse, the very evening of the day that Mildred Wilton became angaged to Henry Forrest, she came np through the evening twilight, with incense of flowera scattered on her path, and tiny fire-fly lamps hung in the bushes to illumine her vay, to tell Nelly about it. It was just as .natural as thinking aloud! "In love, you dear, foolish thing!" said Mrs. Archer, laughingly, imprisoning both Mildred's fluttering hands, and looking archly under the downsweeping fringes of her timid eyes. "Well, every woman must come, sooner or later, to tbe time when some great six-footer becomes glorified in her sight, and whose words are like the law and the prophets. May you never awake from the blissful dream, love!"

"He is so changed, somehow," said Mildred. Tbe moon, which had been a narrow slit of pearl when Henry Forrest first whispered bis love into Mildred's willing ear, was now on the wane, and poor Mildred was crying on Mrs. Archer's shoulder. "How,dearest?"said Nelly,stroking the dark, disheveled locks, while she pressed her cold cheek against Mildred's burning forehead. "Heis so grave and self-absorbed," replied Mildred "and when he looks at me it is with a pitying glance. And two or three times some unbroken sentence haB quivered on his lips. Nelly, do you suppose-^-can it be possible that he has ceased to love me and wishes to be reteased from our en gagement?" "Not a bit of it, love," said Nelly "don't distress your dear little head. It will all come right, lam sure. You know that financial affairs are in a very critical state just now, and all business men are necessarily anxious." "Do you think that is all?" murmured Mildred, gradually hushing her sobs, and drawing closer to her comforter, as a child distressed by sorrowful dreams clings to its soothing nurse. "Of course it is," said Nelly. "And now, love, it is growing late, and I must send you home. Go by the upper path, Mildred it is less damp than tbe road along the riverside."

What possessed her to set out by the riverside, in spite of Mrs. Archer's warning? Perhaps because that way was nearest—perhaps because the finger oi fate was in the thing for as she approached a dense mass of silver birch woods that skirted the road, the sound of low voices made her start behind the trees with an uneasy consciousness that Bhe was not alone. The tones came nearer, and as the speakers emerged into the uncertain moonlight from the shadowed place where the road wound through a deep glen, her heart stood still with horror. She knew the promenaders well. Was this the reason that Nelly had desired her to go by the willow path Oh, false friend, recreant lo7er! No need to ask .why Henry was changed. "Nelly, you are an angel—what should I do without you?" she heard him say, as they paused' at the path that lea to Mrs. Archer's home. Nellie shook her bead, laughingly. "Mind!" she said, "not a word of this to Mildred—poor little Mildred!"

There are times when a minute seems to compress into its seconds all the bitterness of pears—and our readers may judge, if they can, how long this night was to Mildred Wilton's breaking heart.

By morning's faint dawn, however, Mildred's resolves were all taken. She would release Henry Forrest from his troth, though her own heartstrings parted—but she never would see Mrs. Archer more. Ah! Why had she not suspected this double-dealing before? "Why, Mildred, dear, you don't seem to be a bit glad to see me this morning," said Henry Forrest, playfully pulling away the hand that shaded Mildred's tear-stained eyes, and looking lovingly into her face. "Why, what's the matter? You have been crying! Well, I suppose I must not ask any questions. 1 came, little one, to ask. you if you would allow me to Jfix Thursday week for our wedding day "My wedding day will never come, Henry Forrest," returned Mildred, controlling her agitation by a strong effert. "I release you from your engagement this moment." "What do you mean?" exclaimed Henry. Release me? But I won't be released!

"Do not let us prolong this inters view," said Mildred, tremulously. "I was accidentally at tbe riverside last night and witnessed the parting between you and Mrs. Archer. "Well, what of it?" said Henry, still in a state of bewilderment. "Nothing," faltered Mildred, almost inaudibly "only, if I had known earlier that your affections were transferred from me to Mrs. Archer, I should the sooner have set you free from all allegiance toward me.

She broke down here, the poor little heroine, and burst into a passion of tears. "My darling Milly," exclaimed Henry, as if a sudden light had broken in on his perplexity, "will you hear my explanation? Mrs. Archer made me promise secrecy but she could never have foseseen these circumstances. My affections have been securely placed beyond my keeping ever since I saw one Miss Mildred Wilton I never dreamed of transferring them, and could'nt if I were to try. But, dearest Milly, since our engagement, I have become a comparatively poor man, through the failure of business men with whom I was directly in volved, and I trembled lest it should be my duty to ask you to wait years for me, or even to give up for, Milly, 1 could not ask you to marry a beggar. But Mrs. Archer so earneatJy desired the marriage to go on, that she has nobly placed a large portion of her wealth in my hands—as a loan, of course—to enable me to begin the world once more. The sun of fortune, thanks to Mrs. Archer, is beginning to shine on me once again, and I come to claim you as my bride." "Then she does not love you!" murmured Mildred, her eyes sparkling through her tears like a rainbow. "Love me!" he repeated "I should think not But I can tell you whom Bhe does love—your brother Ashley, who is nearly as jealous of our business interviews as yourself. They are now over, Milly, and I shouldn't wonder if we had two weddings some of these days.'"

Mildred Wilton again cried upon he love's strong, manly breast but they were no bitter tears. Nor could she rest until she had confessed everything to Nellie Archer, who, being a merciful lady, kissed and forgave .her in the same breath.

As Henry ForreBt had foretold, there was a double wedding in the old village church and Mrs. Ashley Wilton, in her soft, white bridal robes, was even prettier than Nellie Archer, the widow, has been.'

Destroying Confidence.

Merchant Traveler. ft "Mamma," said a small boy, "do you believe everything papa says?" "Of course, my child," replied the mother, with wifely pride. "Everything mama?" "Yes, dear, everything." "Well, I don't"

"Hush, you wicked

boy you mustn't talk so. What did your papa oyer say that you couldn't believe?" "You know that widow on

the-next equsre, who always looks so at us boys?" "You mean that gQQf pretty Mrs. Bonton?" "She's the one. I beard papa tell her yesterday that she was the sweetest woman in' town, and then he gave her a bunch of flowers, and it made me so ashamed to h«y»r him tell such a story that Iran away and wouldn't let him know that I had caught him in it" "That will do, my child," said the mother, with a peculiar look in her face, "run out and play, and I will tell your father when he comes in that he must be particukur not to destroy his son's confidence in his veracity."

NEWGATE PRISON! Kn-j

A Building That Has Witnessod Eight Centuries ot Crime. London Bpectator.

Newgitte as a prison—for it may for some time to come be utilized as a barrack or a fortress—has a definite history from 1086 to 1877. It was an old practice, and one for which reasons could eaf ily be assigned, to place prisons over the gateways of towns, and if Stowe is right, tbe term "Newgate" was, in the first instance, used to designate the gate made in the wall of the city of Losadon after the rebuilding of St Paul's in 1806, when the original thoroughfare from lldgate in tbe east to Luagate in the west having been blocked up by the bishop of London, a fresh one to the north of the cathedral had to be made. For some hundreds of years—and, indeed, almost till the New gate calendars begin—the records of the great prison are of the scantiest. It may be noted, however, that as early as the reign of Henry III., Newgate had become "noysome" —a character which it had even within the memory of men of middle age that in 1381 it was broken into Wat Tyler and his men, and that, like almost all the ancient institutions of London, it received a substantial blessing from Richard Whittington—that most magnanimous of citizens leaving money to rebuild it. Newgate had its full share of the stormy hundred years of our history that came to a close with the Jacobite rising of 1745 and among its inmates were "alt sorts and conditions of" men and women, It entertained cavaliers and round-heads, and that most famous and politically most impartial of hteliwaymeu"JackCotting ton, or Mulled Sach," who is credited with having relieved Cromwell of his purse and Charles II. of plate to tbe value of £1,500. It was burned down in the great lire. Wren is said to have rebuilt it, as he is said to have rebuilt almost everything. It is well known how closely Newgate is bound up with the Popish plot and the stories of Dangerfield and Oates. The Jacobite rising ot 1745 filled it with prisoners, gome of whom neem to have been •allowed to lead a riotous life, eating, drinking and gambling to excess. At least two noted Jacobites succeeded in making their escape from the prison, probably with the help of the governor, Mr. Pitt—Charles Ratcliffe, the brother of the earl of Derwentwater, and General Forster, who played such a miserable part in the Jacobite fiasco at Preston. Forster got off scot free, but Ratclifle, chiefly through his own imprudence, was recaptured and executed in 1746. "Noysome" Newgate had been ini the thirteenth century what with overcrowding there were sometimes 1,200 prisoners confined within its three-quarters of an acre—with an absence of ventilation, drainage and even light, it became a fever den bv the middle of the eighteenth century. The gaol fever, which had, indeed, been in the habit of slaying its tens and hundreds within the prison walls, carried off. in 1750 and in rapid succession nearly fifty outsiders, including two judges, the lord mayor and an alderman. The disgraceful condition of Newgate—the starvation of some of the inmates the debauchery of others—need not be dwelt) upon,, for it lasted more or le still the middle of the present century. In 1770 Newgate was agaip rebuilt. Ten years later, and almost four hundred years after the exploit of Wat Tyler, it was broken into and its inmates released by the Gordon rioters. In 1784, the Tyburn procession having been abolished, public executions were removed to Newgate, and till 1868, when the horrible ceremony was first performed in private Newgate oV*ained a repulsive celebrity for the norrible levity.and crowdingwhich Characterized these occasions, not to speak of the danger, which culminated in one of the first years of the century in about a hundred persons being crushed to death at an execution. With the closing of Newgate, under the prisons act of 1877, its history has come to an end—at all events, let us hope so.

A Bold Brigade.

Baltimore American. ••Si The celebrated brigand Zuffa, Of Bologna, diod recently in the state prison lit Cencena, where he had been connned for eighteen years. He was sentenced for life in 1856. One of the most famous exploits of Zuffa and his gang was committed at Forlimpopoli. They entered a theater where a performance was going on. From the stage they leveled their carbines at the audience, announced that every door was closed' and guarded by a brigand, and that tho audience had better give up at at once all their valuables. One of the gang went around with a bag collecting jewels and money, and the band then leisurely retired.

The Black Hole of Calcntta. The Calcutta Englishman says that the famo'is Black Hole, which was excavated not long since, has now been filled in and paved over with stone slabs. A tablet of white marble, bearing the following inscription, is ready to be fixed in the immediate neighborhood "The stone pavement near this marks tbe position and size of the prison cell in old Fort William, known to history as the Black Hole of Calcutta." 7

They were talking about Folger helping Wall Btreet out of its box when some one excitedly inquired: "Yes, but how on earth can he do anything?" "Buy the 4 per cent, now held as collateral, and thns enable bankers and brokers to realize cash at once," was the explanation offered* by the baldheaded man. "Pooh! Any fool of a secretary of the treasury could do that!" sneered the excited one. "What ifve want is for him to take off our hands the stocks for which we have paid from 85 to 90 and which have dropped to 35 and 40" We want our money back! Let Mr. Folger pay me what I paid the brokers and my confidence is at once restored and this panic is arrested!"

Charles J. B. Williams, a London physician, has lately publishes his personal experiences. During the first ten years (1830-1840) of his establishment as a physician in London his expenses exceeded his receipts at an average of £600 a year. In 1849 the scale began to iurn in his favor. In 1848 his professional income amounted to £3,600. Between 1853 and 1857, when he was in the fullest private practice, it varied from £4,000 to £7,000 a year. It never exceeded the latter amonnt He adds: "My largest receipts, handsome as they were, did not equal those of fashionable physicians of olden times, nor of the two or three special favorites of the present day.

IK THE TREE TOPS.

The Singular Abode of a Dlnbtad (3«A In the Pension Oflee. Washington Itost.

Many years ago, to begin at the beginning, Jimmie Eslin was the greatest chicken-fancier in the District of Columbia. Around a pit in the rear of his hooBe on Meridian Hill gathered the sporting characters of tne past generatiop. many men of distinction, such as President Jackson, Henry A. Wise, Stephen A. Douglas and John B. Floyd, secretary of war under Buchanan, being among the number. But Jimmie Eslin, about three years ago, was gathered unto bis fathers, and the estate was left to be divided. It was sold for

$20,000,

bat

the heirs believing that it could bring more money, employed Mr. Andrew Lipscomb to have the sale set aside. This was done, and the property resold to a syndicate at an advanced price, "who divided the property into lots for building purposes.

It was dnring this litigation, now some months ago, that a man came to Mr. Lipscomb, the trustee for the heirs with a singular request Bis name he said was A.. B. Hayward a clerk in the pension office, and he had been pleased with a grove of oak trees on the Eslin property. Could he have permission, he asked,-.to build a house up in the trees? He wanted to be out in tbe air where the ventilation was good, where no sewer gases from the interior or smell of gas from the exterior would poison the atr mosphere. A hammock would afford no shelter from the rain, and a tent on the ground was liable to be visited by tramp and thieves. He put his question, tkerefore, and wanted a reply. Mr. Lipscomb granted tne request, and Mr. Hayward built his "castle^ in the air." Yesterday the lot on which it is situated was to be sold at auction. The advertisement read as follows: rPTHE MAN IN A TREE." will lo-

J_ cate in his new residence next week and offers at public sale, on reasonable terms, "Airy Castle." better known as "The House in a Tree," together with the lot on which it is erected. Also, one or more lets in the immediate vicinity.

The lots are part of the Eslin estate, which bounds Mt. Pleasant south, one square west from the Columbian college property.

Undoubtedly this is the choicest and healthiest location for private residences within the District limits, and unsurpassed for safe

money

Sale on the premises Tuesday, May 27, 6 o'clock p. m. It was a little before 6 o'clock when a Post reporter arrived on the ground. The occupant of "Airy Castle" was absent and there was no one else upon the scene. The peculiar residence was easily discernible. Between two large oak trees, about thirteen feet from the ground, was a platform, which rested partly on the limbs of tbe trees, and partly on five posts. The platform, 12x7$ feet,bore at one end the structure which had been dignified by the name of a house. Its sides for the height of three feet were of board, while the roof was of canvas, now spotted and mildewed by the weather. The canvas fell down over the sides and the rear, while in the front it was thrown aside to permit the free action of a narrow door. There were no windows in the novel structure, and the only evidence of life was a small stool on the platform in front of the house, and the ladder by which the occupant climbed to his elevated abode.

During this investigation several residents of the vicinity bad gathered through curiosity. A few minutes' longer delay and the owner of the "castle" was seen coming over the fields in company with a spars-built, long-whiskered man, who Beemed to be' known to a small boy as "the cracker crank," because his diet is said to consist of crackers and vegetables. Mr. Hayward iB a one-armed man, about 40 years of age, with long brown whiskers slightly tinged with gray. He soon procured the key -to his home, and the reporter, climbing the ladder, was ushered into the interipr. This, it must be confessed, was far more entertaining than the exterior view had permitted. Space was limited, of course, but it was utilized in the best possible fashion. The inside of the walls was lined with light carpet, and rags covered the floor. A low cot, on which rested a checkered counterpane, stood under the eaves. Adjoining it was a wicker rorking-chair, while an oblong wooden chest, a washstand and table combined, an oil stove, a lamp, a piece of looking glass, and toilet articles completed the list of necessaries. Considerable taste, however, seemed to have been exercised in the ornamentation of the room, fancy cards, photographs, books, etc., being arranged as decorations with excellent effect. The ridge-pole contained several hooks, which Berved for the time being as a resting place for a cane. There waB a cosy appearence about the room which seemed at variance with its peculiar position. "I have built myself another house in the tress about half a mile from here on a lot which I have purchased over toward Piney Branch," said Mr. Hay ward, as he stretched his hand to the north. "It is nearly forty feet from the ground octagon in shape, a good deal larger tban this., and built of wood and canvas. I have not moved into it yet but will leave here very soon." •'How did you come to choose a dwelling of this kind "It presented many advantages. While in the army—I lost this arm at the battle of Cold Harbor—I contracted a disease which made it necessary for me always to breathe the purest air, and particularly to avoid the heat oi summer. Hammocks and tents are not as preferable to live in as this house. When I leave to go to the office in the morning I take my ladder over to a neighboring house. At night I draw my ladder up after me, and I am as safe as possible." "Do you find your health improved." "I was never better, either mentally or physically. I am perfectly at home here. In the summer I sit oat on my platform and enjoy the sunset and listen to the birds, and in the winter the oil stove warms my room vory comfortably. No windows? I don't need any. In summer I raise the roof, and in winter I fasten it down. Enough light penetrates the canvas for ordinary purposes. I used to be alarmed at the storms, but I have become used to them now, and do not concern myself about them."

Mr. Hayward-then descended the ladder. One of the trustees was still absent. There ^AS a consultation among those interested after which Mr. Duncanson, the auctioneer an nouiiced that owing to a disagreement the sale had been indefinitely postponed.

Subsisting on Milk Alone. Surrounded by unsold and untold numbers of pamphlets of original poems, in a little third-story back room of the tenement-house at No. 78 Canal street, a reporter of the World found "Prof." M. Westbrook yesterday afternoon. He had already begun, at 6 o'clock in the morning, his experiment of using no other food than milk for sixty days Before beginning he had weighed himself and turned the beam at 163 pounds. Seated in his rockingchair beside the bed, his long chinwMskers waving on his breast and his brawny hands twitching nervously, Prof. M. Westbrook, who modestly liimBelf "the people's sentimental, progressive And im~ spirational poet, elocutionist, astronomical critic, jester and humorist," unbosomed himself. He said: "Milk isi nature's diet It makes bone, sinew, muscle, brain and blood. Nature com pels its use in babyhood, and men ought to have sense enough to follow up the teaching in manhood. It's true, they cling to the bottle, but it's not the one with the nipple. I am only going to try it will be an experiment If I find after a week or ten days' trial that my health is at all impaired, I shall conclude my theory is

wrong but I am confident that I Will succeed. Of coarse, will keep astriet record of health, weight, appetite and strength. Tbe public will have to take my word for its correctness. I had hoped tiie experiment would have created sufficient interest to have caused the appointment of a committee to accurately watch ev«ry change of my condition anyhow, the thin~ is all for myself, and .1 don't care. The experiment will be of benefit to me. "Up to now I have worked as a carpenter. Last night I brought home my $22 earned by a week's labor. For a while I shall go about the city seeing the public buildings. By and by, two or three weeks from now, I may start west Interest will be at its height then in my experiment. I shall lecture in the different large towns between here and Omaha. The trial is not for money, bnt of course an admission fee will be charged to my lectures to defray rent of hall and so forth." "No, 1 never heard of such a fast as I propose. I lived on milk a year when I was a baby. I don't fiee why I cant now when at fifty-eight years old. I am hearty and with all my muscles and bones permanent There is no need of bonei-growingfoodinme. Nourishment is all I want. I have drank a half gallon of milk to-day. I think I'll use about six quarts a day, but that is only a surmise. The milk I get is served at my door by a boy. It is the mme I have used for a year. But, as I said, it is all experiment I am doing it for myself. If I learn anything of advantage to the public I shall be glad for I am a philanthropist Here are some of the books I have written. You see, I carpenter alt day and at night I invoke tho muses. They aie just as good and better, than your Christians' cruel God. My poetry is appreciated by many readers. Now that I am not working I shall have plenty of time to write."

The reporter Lft Down stairs he learned .i Mia. Westbrook also writes poetry.

A Confederate Eggnogg.

Texas Sittings. V' One cold, 'cloudy Christmas day, when the prospects of the Confederacy were as gloomy as tbe weather, an Arkansaw soldier, whose clothes looked as though they had been run through a threshing machine, approached Gen. Hindman, who sat on a stump near a fire, and said: "Gineral, would't a little aignog go putty well this mornin'? You know, in Arkansaw we alius celebrate Christmas with a little o' the sttflf." "Yes," the general replied, "and I should like to have a quart of it right now." "Well, let's go to your tent, whar nobody ken see us, an' we'll make some arrangements."

When they entered the tent the soldier said: "You git the whisky, and I'll git the aigs an' sugar," "All right."

The soldier went away, and after awhile, with dejected countenance, he returned with the information that some one had stolen the "artickles." "I'm devilish sorry," said he, "for I've been er savin' them things fur yer benefit for along time, knowin' how a aignog would Btrike yer Christmas day." "That is bad," said the general, "and if I could discover the thief, he should be punished. Stay here, and let me go out and skirmish."

The general, after much difficulty, succeeded in securing the ingredients, and ere long a bowl of the frothing drink was prepared. "Ah," said the soldier, refilling his tin cup the third time, "this tastes like old times, when I nster get up afore day an' fire off the old fuzee. Put two men's heads together, an' suthin' is goin' tor happen."

Shortly after the soldier left the ten t, Col. Bob Newton, chief of Hindman's staff, entered and said: "Do you remember old Dave Aickett, who used to run a flatboat on White river?" "He came to me this morning," the colonel continued, "and began to talk about eggnogg. Said that he had been keeping eggs and sugar for along time, and that if I would furnish the whisky, we would have a Christmas drink. I agreed, and he went away, returning pretty soon, and sorrowfully announced that some one had stolen his treasure. Bather than see the old fellow disappointed, I furnished everything, and for a few minutes we—" "Good morning, gentlemen," said General Churchill, entering the tent. "Had a fine eggnogg early this morning. An old fellow that used to run a fiat boat on White river, said that he would furnish the eggs and sugar—" "But did he do it? asked Hindman and Newton simultaneously. "No some wretch had Btolen the stuff. Hello! here is Fagan." "Gentlemen, said General Fagan, "you ought- to have been with me this morning. An old fellow, a former fiatboatman, came to me and talked about eggs till he made my mouth water. He said that he had been saving up aiotof eggs and sugar for my benefit, and that if I would furnish the whiskv we would celebrate. I agreed, and he went away, but I never saw a more castdown man than he was upon returning Some one had stolen the eggs, but I furnished the outfit, Beeing that disap pointment would about kill the old fellow. Hello, Reynolds!" "Good morning, gentlemen," Baid Gen. Reynolds. "I have had a fine time this morning. An old fellow—' "Hold on!" shouted the other man "we know all about the egg-stealing business."

Gen. Hindman called an orderly, and giving him the name of the man, said: "Find that man and make him drunk, if it takes every drop of whisky in the Confederacy. Such merit shall not go unrewarded."

Militant BlBhop.

Indianapolis journal. Turner, the negro bishop of Georgia, belongs to the church militant. He got aboard a train with his wife in Tennesse, a brakeman ordered them into a second-class car and started to take hold of the woman, and the bishop made a remark. Said he: "Please let me say a word to you kindly. I want no trouble, and I ray God you will save me from any, ut if you touch my wife there will be a funeral to-morrow in either your family or my own." Then the brakeman passed on, the woman sat down in the first class car, and the bishop went to the Bmoking saloon BO as to avoid offense as far as possible.

Decrease of European Travel.

Rochester Democrat. There has been a large decrease in European travel this year, possibly as much as 15 or 20 per cent, according to a New York shipping merchant The tightness of money, the anticipation of trouble in Wall street and the presidential election have kept many people at home. People who did go abroad are returning much earlier than usual, and agents attribute that to Wall street also. Travel in the United States, however, is on the increase. Many who used to go to Europe now go the other way and take in Mexico, Alaska, Oregon and Colorado.

A Paradise for Fruit-Growers. It is said tbat in the Mesilla Valley in New Mexico, apple trees bear the second year after planting, peaches the second year from the seed and grapes the third year.
