these important cereals is unusually large,
aud without some unforeseen accident th.e

heavy.
As a very favorable indication, the same

The Atlanta Constitution says that “tho

Mr. D. Greenfield, of Albany, boasts that

Dalton Citizen : A nice little game of
“gr8b” is practiced illegally by the Clerk of
the United States District Court at Atlanta,
which we do not remember to have seen no

pavs the bill, retaining twenty-five cents as
his perquisites for stationery, etc. Friend
Temples, of Spring Place, was down the
other day as a witness, and upon being set

clerk that he cared nothing for tweuty-five
cents, but he protested against a thief pre

Sccbe One fob the Ulsteb.—A neat

keeper in New Haven. A stranger lost
at throwing dice in a saloon, and the
proprietor proposed, as he had no money,
that he leave his Ulster coat as security.
Instead cf the coat the stranger left his
trowsers. He left the saloon, his high
top boots and long Ulster concealing the
loss of his trowsers, and engaged a room
in a hotel for the night In the morning
he complained to the landlord that his

THE PLEASUBES OF DESPOTISM.
Notwithstanding the apparent hetero
doxy of such an extensive averment, we
hazard the opinion that there is no
real unalloyed pain in this mundane
sphere. The experience of some indi
viduals would seem to warrant a different
conclusion, but it would be founded
clearly upon their own inherent impetu
osity. The impossibility of reconciling
dissimilar properties is neither acknowl
edged nor denied, but it has absolutely
nothing to do with the question we raise
in this instance. The speculator who
loses a million at one venture may con
sole himself with the charitable reflection
that his misfortune is another man’s sal

({uestiou ol Issuing Silver Fractional
Currency.
[Special to- the Cincinnati Commercial.]
There is now on hand in the United
States Treasury only enough fractional
currency to meet the ordinary demand of
one week. There are about one and one-
quarter million dollars in half dollars,
about one million in quarter dollars, and
less than a quarter of a million dollars in
ten-cent notes. Treasurer New has been
dealing out fractional currency as spar
ingly as practicable lately, in order to
make the limited supply hold
out until some action shall be
taken by Congress providing eitlier
for the resumption of the printing of
these fractional notes or for the issue of
silver. Secretary Bristow declines to as
sume the responsibility of paying out sil
ver coin, of which there is now on haud
f ully twelve million dollars’ worth. The bill
reported from the Appropriation Com
mittee last week, and on which an early
action by the House is to be urged, ap
propriates money for printing legal ten
der notes, omitting entirely the fractional
currency, but it contaius a clause direct
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay
out silver coin iu redeeming mutilated
fractional currency. Some members of
Congress are reluctant to pass a bill or
dering this experiment with silver, pre
ferring to let well enough alone, especial
ly as the law of 1875 gives authority
to the Secretary to do so if he sees fit.
The bill of the Appropriations Committee
will, however, receive favorable action in
Congress. There is an evident purpose
to try the experiment with silver, at least
as far as the supply will meet the demand,
and even further in view of the fact that
the government can afford to go into
market and buy silver with greenbacks,
thereby saving not only the percentage of
the difference between the prices of sil
ver and greenbacks, but also the cost of
making paper fractional currency. Treas
urer New estimates that the bulk of frac
tional paper currency is redeemed every
eight mouths. Silver coin is worth less
than government paper money, and does
not have to be redeemed.
A young Irish clergyman, at the first
wedding he ever had, thought it a very
good time to impress upon the couple
before him the solemnity of the act. “I
hope Dennis,” he said to the coachman,
with his license in his hand, “you have
well considered this solemn step in life.’’
I hope so, your riverence,” answered
Dennis. “It’s a very important step you
are taking, Mary,” said the minister.
“Y’es, sir, I know' it is,” replied Mary,
whimpering. “Perhaps we had better
wait a while.” “Perhaps we had, your
riverence,’’ chimed in Dennis. The min
ister, hardly expecting such a personal
application of his exhortation, and seeing
the marriage fee vanishing before his
eyes, betook himself to a more cheerful
aspect of the situation, and said, “Yes,
of course, it’s solemn and important, you
know, but it’s a very happy time, after
all, when the people love each other.
Shall we go on with the service? “Yes,
your riverence,” they both replied, and
they were soon made one in the bonds of
matrimony: and that young minister is
now very careful now he introduces the
solemn view of marriage to timid couples.
Just How It Is.—The United States
Senate, with its Republican majority, af
ter several years of discussion, has finally
rejected the claims of Piachback to a
seat in that body on the ground, deliber
ately stated, that the pretended Legisla
ture which went through the formality of
electing him w r as a fraud.
Now, if this Legislature was a fraud,
it is plain that Kellogg’s pretence to be
Governor of Louisiana is equally fraudu
lent; yet, on two different occasions.
President Grant, without any authority
of law, has used the army of the United
States to keep this dishonest usurper in
power, despite the electors of the State,
who twice rejected him at the polls.
In other words, according to the decis
ion of the Republican Senate, Grant has
twice unlawfully created revolution in
Louisiana in order to keep a set of no
torious public plunderers in posts where
they could continue to prey upon an out
raged and impoverished State. If Grant
had been Emperor, as his fnend Holden,
of North Carolina, desired that he should
be, could he more despotically have tram-
pled upon the rights of the people ?—

A Pigmy Gbaveyabd in Coffee.—An
ancient graveyard of vast .proportions has
been found in Coffee county. It is sim
ilar to those found in White county and
other places in Middle Tennessee, but is
yastly more extensive, and shows that the
race of pigmies who once inhabited this
country were very numerous. The same
peculiarities of position observed in the
White county graves are found in these.
The writer of the letter says: “Some con
siderable excitement and curiosity took
place a few days since near Hillsboro,
Coffee county, on James Brown’s farm.
A Timn was plowing in a field which had
been cultivated many years, and plowed
up a man’s skull and other bones. After
making further examination, they found
that there was about six acres in the
graveyard. They were buried in a sitting
or standing position. The bones show
that they were a dwarf tribe of people,
about three feet high. It is estimated
that there were about 75,000 or 100,000
buried there. This shows that this
country was inhabited hundreds of years
ago.”—Woodbury (Tenn.) Press.

' despotism is amusement for the despots,
no matter what the sufferings of the sub

from the bitterest ordeals through which
mankind is doomed to pass, by an inflexi
ble adherence to this simple rule. The
future compiler of didactic litera
ture will probably mould a portion
of his data into a story similar to the fol
lowing for the enlightenment of posterity:
During the nineteenth century the pro
vince of Florida was oppressed by an in
human breed of wretches, who, upon the
return of justice to her throne, were all
hanged for their misdeeds. The usurpers
consisted of Radical carpet-baggers and
scalawags. The former was a thief
who robbed strangers, the latter
was a villain who stole from peo
pie who should have been his ac
quaintances. Such vulgar rascals consti
tuted the rulers of the inhabitants. From
the Governor down everything appertain
ing to this grinding, pittiless despotism
was reeking with corruption. The judic
iary were notoriously puppets, and as one
evidence of the manner in which they ex
pounded law and protected their accom
plices in the most diabolical system of
swindling ’the world has ever seen, we
will cite one instance. A debtor who is
a Radical endeavors to defraud a creditor
who is not, out of a considerable sum of
money. The Radical is surreptitiously
removing his property, and the creditor
sues out a writ of attachment
which is granted and the levy made.
Tho Radical robber then secures a return
of the goods hold by replevying and
furnishing a bond wnich is not worth
the paper it is written on, the sureties be
ing merely dummies and worthless, but
which the J«dge approves unhesitatingly.
A judgment against the Radical is ob
tained in the course of time, but he
smiles derisively and invites his creditor
to find some visible property. It
is all invariably invisible and so
are th9 securities on the bond.
These tricks were played so often
that some of the judges suddenly
grew into a pompous aiHuenee, and these
things took place in the reigns of Stearns,
Reed and Iiart, three land pirates who
roved through Florida at one time.One of
the judges was designated as Randall,and
another as Archibald. In this twentieth
century there are no carpet-baggers or
scalawags for the race has been killed

by Frank Reed, of Providence, R. I., and
insured for four thousand dollars, as far as
ascertained. The dwelling was the prop
erty of Mr. E. Barrs and uninsured. The
loss in buildings and personal property
will approximate fifteen thousand dollars.
The fire is supposed to have originated in
some shavings under the boarding house,
and was indisputably caused by design.
The fire engines arrived upon the scene
too late to accomplish anything, owing to
the inflammable material out ot which
the structure was built. The dismissal of
a negro servant in Florida is getting to
be thought an ample apology for arson,
and it surpasseth human comprehension
that these cases always remain uninquir-
ed into.
FIEEMKN S ANNUAL PABADE.
The fire department on the occasion of
their annual procession on Tuesday, were
watched by eager aud admiring eyes, and
crowds of citizens lined the streets along
the route. The engines were beautifully
burnished up and ornamented by wreaths
of evergreen and a perfect carnival of
roses. The Mechanics, though not as at
tractively uniformed as the others, claim
that they are ever ready for work. The
Phoenix and the JEtna engines and men
were the objects of universal attention
and eulogistic criticism. The hook
and ladder company and the hose carriages
were not behind either in the parade
or in any other respect. Altogether the
turnout was highly creditable to the fire
men. Mr. Wm. Baya was announced as
Chief for the ensuing year, and acknowl
edged the honor conferred upon him in a
few choice and apposite words. The
Mechanics, we think, were the only com
pany that indulged in any after ceremo
nies, which they did in a sumptuous
luncheon at Metropolitan Hall in the eve
ning. The affair was conducted in an
entirely proper and orderly manner.
STILL AT THEIB TBICKS.
The lights of the Radical sanhedrim
have been moving about suspiciously
lately, and various conjectures as to their
intentions are constantly arising. Stearns
swears that he will quit the State, aud
let the law and a decent Legislature take
its course with its allies, if they do not
sustain him against John Tyler, Jr.’s
chances. The parasites of Stearns are 1
infamous for duplicity, and they are
fawning upon Tyler and Stearns at the
same time, so as to be prepared for the
favorable wind. They would be worse
than blind did they close their eyes to the
prospects for the nomination of Tyler. It
is understood that a great many office-
seekers have interviewed Tyler, since it
has become evident that the Radicals
must run him for Governor, and thus
early have put in their applications for
appointments. They are greatly disap
pointed because Tyler would not commit

on Tuesday, awardecr the contract for
lighting the street lamps to J. H. Burst

is understood, will use an improved lamp

that they are able to supply a

A MUNIFICENT DONATION.
The Episcopalian Church, now in process
of construction in this city, was made the
recipient this week of a princely contri
bution of five thousand dollars from Mr.
William Astor, of New York, in addition
to a former gift from him of five
hundred dollars. In consequence of
Mr. Astor’s liberality, together with
subscriptions from other sources, the
temple will be pushed, forward to
immediate completion’, and will be when
finished a handsome church edifice, an
ornament to the city, a credit to the
congregation, a compliment to its pastor,
and a standing monument to the gener
osity of those who so materially aided iu
its erection. Mr. Astor departs for Sa
vannah by this evening’s train.

THE NEW INNOVATION.
Sampson, the saffron Justice of Jackson
ville, is unlike his biblical namesake in
dealing out justice with the jaw-bone of
an animal. Sampy is also a member of
the school board, but that is nothing to
his credit. He is an interesting study
for auy one whose olfactory sensibilities
have been sufficiently deadened to permit
of a near approach to liim. On Tuesday
Officer Rushing was engaged in come
work on a street. A crowd of idle dar
kies were sauntering around watching for
a chance to steal, but concluded to con-'
gregate about the policeman and
interrupt the work. The officer is
impressed with the notion tfiat if order
is necessary in the milky way, it i3 not
less so in a town, and one Henry Jackson
became so tired of the quietude that he
began to abuse the guardian, and added
injury to insult by jerking a club from
his hand. The officer, in a remarkably
brief space of time recovered his baton,
and upon further resistance he cracked
Henry Jackson over the head. Officer
Rushing came before Sampson on the
complaint of the disturber and waiving
an examination, was placed under bonds
for six hundred dollars, jin another cause

tor was intimidated by being required to
enter into a recognizance for his appear

Suing the State.
The Atlanta Constitution informs us
that a writ of mandamus has been served
on State Treasurer Renfroe, requiring
him to pay warrants to the amount of
about fourteen thousand dollars, drawn
some years ago in. favor of Henry G.
Cole, but piyment of which was subse
quently forbidden by the General As
sembly. After the lease of the State
Road had been effected the then Governor,
Bullock, appointed an Auditing Board to
audit all claims against the road out
standing and unpaid. When this Board
allowed a claim the Governor issued a
warrant upon the State Treasurer for the
amount of the {ward. * Cole went be
fore the Board and was awarded
$7,345 on a claim for work i^one on
an embankment or culvert at
Altoona in 1856, and $6,914 on a judg
ment obtained by Cole, for this work, in
Fulton Superior Court Bullock immedi
ately issued the warrants, but for some
reason—probably because there was no
money iu the Treasury—they were not
paid. When the Democratic Legislature
aseembled in 1871 tho report that a great
many fraudulent claims had been allowed
caused the Legislature to appoint a com
mittee to investigate the matter. This
committee reported that Cole’s claims
were bogus, and the General Assembly by
resolutions, approved August 24th and
August 26th, 1872, respectively, directed
the State Treasurer not to recognize the
warrants which had been issued for their
payment. This, we believe, is a brief
and correct history of the transaction to
which the Constitution refers.
The executor of Cole seeks to enforce
payment of the warrants by serving a
mandamus upon the State Treasurer.
The warrants were presented to Treasurer
Angier, Jones and Renfroe, and were re
jected by all of them in obedience to the
command of the General Assembly. The
Constitution intimates that the State will
“undoubtedly defend the writ and en
deavor to show cause why these war
rants should not be paid.” It appears
to us that the resolutions prohibiting
the Treasurer from paying the
warrants make the best and only de
fense necessary to be made. These
resolutions haye the force aud effect of
law, and we fail to see how a Judge of
the Superior Court can compel the State
Treasurer to do that which it is manifest
ly illegal for him to do. According to
the Code the writ of mandamus lies only
against an officer to compel the faithful
performance of official duties. The offi
cial duties of the State Treasurer are pre
scribed by law. The law expressly de
clares that the State Treasurer shall not
pay the warrants, based upon an
illegal claim, issued in favor of
Jdenry G. Cole, and no State Judge
can make him violate the law of the
State. It seems to tts that this proceed
ing against the Treasurer is substantially
a suit against the State and the State can
not be sued. But it is brought under
that section of the code which allows tbe
writ to lie against all the officers of
the State except the Governor. The
warrants constitute a claim against the
State and this claim the State has refused
to pay. If the mandamus should be
granted the State will be compelled to
pay a debt the validity of which she re
fuses to recognize.—Augusta Chronicle.
man and Arzalia are married. There was
no escape for him. His tent was guarded
by night, and his person watched by day,
lest he should escape, and this guard was
kept over him for years. He and Arzalia,
however, seemed happy; children were
born to them, and their domestic life was
marked by kindness, courtesy, and true
affection. Randall rapidly acquired the
Arabic language, his wife as rapidly
mastered the English. Their children
were taught in both. He is an American
by birth. When he was admitted to the
Sheik’s family they had to receive his re
ligion as well as his person. Through
him his wife became a Christian; the
father-in-law became a patron of his son-
in-law’s faith, and the surrounding tribes
became favorable to the new religion.
But a Dervish, a zealot of the Moham
medan faith, for a long time endeavored
to have Randall’s sons thrown out of the
employ of the Turkish Goyernment, and
failing in this, turned his assault upon
the daughter of the foreigner, charging
her with witchcraft and apostacy from
the true faith. She was brought before
the Meglis, composed of one hundred and
fourteen venerable Sheiks and Offendis,
to answer charges which involved her
life. She, although but fourteen years
of age, made a defense worthy an apostle;
and the unanimous verdict was in her
favor. The chiefs of the tribes pledged
each other to defend all Christians who
thought and felt as Rosa did. The trial
was in October, 1872. In June, 1873,
while Rosa was teaching a class of little
girls in a grove, the Dervish stealthily ap
proaehed, murdered the maid and fled.

A Partisan Civil Service.
I From the New York Evening Post, Republican.
The fall of a public officer like Belknap
is scarcely more discouraging to those
persons who are hoping for an improve
ment in the administration of our gov
ernment than is the reading of a debate
like that which occurred in the United
States Senate last Thursday. Mr. Gor
don, a Democratic Senator from Georgia,
offered a resolution setting forth the ex
istence of “frequent enormous frauds”
committed by distillers and government
officers, and directing the Finance Coni
mittee of the Senate to inquire into the
defects of the present system of collect
ing the revenue and especially—
“First—Whether it be advisable to so
amend the laws as to levy the whisky tax
directly upon the capacity of the fer
menting tubs and require it to be col
lected in advance: and
“Second—To cieate a corps of excise
to hold office indefinitely, removable
only for incapacity or malfeasance
office.”
The speech with which Mr. Gordon
accompanied this resolution was an able
one, setting forth plainly the losses
which the country has to bear under the
present system, by which the collection
of internal revenue is placed in the hands
of politicians—like Joyce and McDonald
showing how England is able to collect
faithfully a much heavier tax than this
country imposes, and urging the im
portance of the subject in view of the
corruption in public affairs which is daily
exposed.
It ought to bo natural to suppose that
the resolution was passed at once. The
evils of our revenue service certainly
need no demonstration iu these days,
and it was a very simple matter to in
struct a regular committee to see if there
is any remedy for them. But tho
United States Senate of to-day contains
a Morton ; and no sooner had Mr. Gor
don, who was a Confederate general,
taken his seat, than Morton began a re
ply with these words:
“Mr. President, it is said that civil war
is generally followed by a period of de
moralization to a greater or less degree. I
suppose there is something in that; and,
in that case, the responsibility comes
back to those who made the civil war.
With this as a basis he went on with a
rabid partisan address, which included
quotations from one of the violent
speeches of Robert Tqgpbs, against
which the Georgia Legislature had enter
ed its protest. He was joined by Mr.
Sherman, who ought to be found in bet
ter company, but who criticised Mr. Gor
don’s speech as partisan, defended “the
wisdom of the present law,” and de
nounced the English laws as “oppressive
to the last degree against the whisky
dealer.” Then Mr. Edmunds, who had
voted against Pinchback, and who was
understood to be glad of an opportunity
to show that he had not escaped from the
party lines, “rose to repeal the idea that
at any time or in any place the people of
the North or the Republican party in this
chamber or in any other have in any man
ner stirred up sectional animosities or
hostilities, have in any manner assaulted
the constitutional rights of any State or
any part of its people”—as if this would
save any money to the Treasury.
One of the pitiable features of such a
debate is the utter inability of men like
Sherman and Edmunds—we expect noth
ing of Morton—to understand that the
time has passed when it will suffice to ex
cuse the failures of the Republican party
by reference to its services in the war:
that the people, who are suffering under
a weight of present ills, demand the ap
plication of practical, remedies, and not
panegyrics on achievements of tie past.
What does a taxpayer of to-day care
whether or not the existing corruption
which is calling down on the nation the
scorn of the rest of the world can
be traced back to the war as an
original cause and thus be attributed
to the authors of the rebellion ? If it can
be, was not Mr. Gordon, the ex-rebel,
worthy of all the more praise for seeking
a reform of this corruption ? The cor
ruption is an admitted fact—admitted in
the courts even by the counsel who were
defending the secretary of a Republican
President—and it is discouraging enough
to find Senators like Sherman and Ed
munds blinding their eyes to the necessi
ties of the day in their eager desire to
prevent a political opponent from obtain
ing any credit for his good intentions.
In a letter from Senator Gordon, which
lies before us, he says :
“Corruption will attend upon and satu
rate our revenue service so long as men
are appointed to the responsible positions
of revenue collectors, Ac., because of
their political influence and ability to
control votes. I apply this to all parties.
The question is not who is responsible
for the frauds and corruptions, but how
we are to render their future occurrence
impossible. How are we to do this un
less we make the officers superior to the
contingencies of party successes ? What
else can explain the purity of the Eng
lish system and the corruption so com
mon in ours ?”
There can be no doubt of the correct
ness of this view. But platforms and
campaign promises will not produce the
reform. We have had enough of these.
What is needed is the election to the high
est offices of men able enough and honest
enough and brave enough to raise the ad
ministration of our government in all its
branches out of the mire of personal am
bition and partisan selfishness into which
it l:as sunk. In the words of the resolu
tions of the Union League Club, v,hich
the country is so generally commending,
the leader of the people must be known
as a reformer by hia works.
The
Cincinnati Southern Railroad.
[From the Nashville American.]
As was anticipated, the election in Cin
cinnati yesterday resulted in the voting
of $6,000,000 additional subscription to
complete the Cincinnati Southern Rail
road through Kentucky aud this State to
Chattanooga. So large a subscription by
a single city to a single line of railway at
this time, is a gratifying manifestation of
confidence in the future, and may be
hailed as a harbinger of better days
coming. The portion of Tennessee that
will be opened up by this line, is at
present almost out of the world. It is a
section rich in iron, coal and other
valuable minerals, and is admirably
adapted to sheep raising and fruit cul
ture. Cincinnati’s present object is a
direct line to the rich cotton States, but
in course of time a large local traffic will
grow up, and the line be dotted with
mines and furnaces, factories and farms.
Wo subjoin a statement of the present
condition of the work of building the
road, made by H. V. Redfield, of the
Cincinnati Commercial, who recently
traveled over the entire line. He pre
dicts, it will be noticed, that the road
will be in running order to the Tennessee
line before the year closes :
I understand that the work from Lex
ington, Ky., to the Ohio is about ninety
per cent. done. I did not pass over this
division further than Georgetown, and
should say that that part of it was about
ninety per cent. done, although I did not
look at it closely, as another party is to
pass over the eighty miles to the Ohio
river, for the Commercial. Of the work
from LexingtOD to Somerset I should say
that it was from seventy to seventy-five
per cent, done, and from Somerset to the
Tennessee valley from seventy to eighty
per cent. done.
You will observe in following my de
scription through, that xerj nearly all the
heavy work is done. That which remains
is comparatively light. The contractors
are getting through with their work very
rapidly now, as they have laborers in
abundance (owing to so many contrac
tors having completed their work and dis
charged their force). The weather has
also been exceptionally good. If the six
millions are voted the cars can be run
ning into Tennessee before the end of the
year. At least I see nothing to hinder.
The work is now at that stage when it
can be completed very rapidly.
Will six millions do it ? I firmly be
lieve that it will, after having passed over
the line and seen what the ten millions
have accomplished. Besides, it is a re
markable fact that all the work that has
been completed since Engineer Lovett’i
last estimate (upon which the call for
$6,000,000 was made] has been done for
a figure under that estimate. This is
something worth making a note of.
At tho Kentucky river bridge Mr. T.
W. Coolidge handed me some figures
bearing directly on the subject. Since
Mr. Lovett’s estimate three sections have
been completed on that division, and
every one of them at a cost under the
estimate upon which the $6,000,000 call
was based. Thus, the three sections
were estimated, in Lovett's estimate re
ferred to, at a cost of $21,524 29. When
the work was completed the other day.
the actual cost was found to be $20,022 39
coming under the estimate $1,501 92.
Auother point bearing od this subject
Mr. Cummings, a heavy contractor, hav
ing some twelve or fifteen miles of the
road below Somerset, which he is rapidly
completing, told me that he was satisfied
that the rest of the work could be done
within Mr. Lovett's estimate; that he
would be willing to take any part of it at
that estimate, or all of it if he could.
Such evidence as we have from these
facts ought to convince most anybody
that the $6,000,000 will complete the
road just as promised by the Trustees.
That every particle of work that has been
returned since the estimate has come un
der the estimate, is pretty good evidence
that the estimate will cover th6 case.
I was ten days on the road from tho
Tennessee Valley to Nicholasville.
camped with it, as it were. I saw it; I
passed through the tunnels, or the most
of them, and through the deep cuts, and
looked down from the high embankments,
and into the chasms and streams that are
to be spanned by iron viaducts. I am
not an engineer, and what little common
sense I may have on the subject is not
embarrassed by too much learning.
The road is a mighty undertaking In
gaing over it, I am only surprised that
the ten millions have accomplished so
much. And the work is all good. The
masonry is a marvel of stability aud
beauty. It will last through the ages.
This road has more tunnels upon it than
any road of its length in the w'orld. It
has a higher pier bridge than any road in
the world. It has more iron viaducts,
and higher ones, than any railroad of its
length in the world. And it cresses more
large streams than any railroad of its
length in the world.
What think you of that ? If complet
ed, it will be a monument to Cincinnati
forever. But we don’t care so much
about the monument, if it pays. Will it
pay? Well, we cannot see ahead. I do
not indulge in the very rosy expectations
of some on this score. It may drag a
few years, but in time it certainly will
pay.

The Vie Parisienne, which keeps us
informed cf the very latest fashion in
tunic-apron, mentions two innovations,
the account of which we translate ns fol
lows :
“The English are well known for their
affected niceties—often useless and awk
ward—in whatever pertains to the art of
dining.
“They are responsible for the citetom
of changing not only the convert but also
the napkin with each courso. Their
latest whim is to present to the guests
the menu of the dinner by suspending the
list, printed on vellum, upon the neck of
little statuettes placed before each guest.
The good taste of this fashion is ques
tionable, for these statuettes are the fac
simile of infirm, poor, abject, ragged
beings. It can please only through love
of violent contrast, for these figures are
utterly shocking in the midst of the fairy
like elegance which rules at the tables of
great English houses.
“The other innovation is of American
origin. It is a process of eating oranges
elegantly.
“The orange is to be held in the left
hand in a very small and very pretty
fringed napkin, used exclusively for this
purpose. With a pearl-handlid knife in
the right hand an incision is made in the
orange at the point where the fruit is de
tached from the stem, and the heart is
entirely removed, leaving an opening
large enough to introduce a small gold
spoon. With this spoon is taken out
from the orange its delicious juice and
pulp, which is thus held and eaten in its
own peel.
“The delicacy and akill required in this
operation are considered marks of fine
breeding.”
The French writer might have added
that in the orange growing parts of this
country another equally good way of eat
ing oranges at table is common. A fork
is inserted in the peeled orange at the
point where it was joined to the stem,
and the succulent parts of the fruit are
eaten with a small spoon, leaving the core
and the tough membranes which divide
the fruit into layers upon the fork. The
advantages of Loth these methods of eat
ing oranges are obvious. In neither case
are the tough and unwholesome parts of
the fruit swallowed, as they must be if
the orange is eaten in the ordinary way.
