A customer trying on knit gloves
in the furnishing store of Keith Bros.
& Co., in Chicago, found in one of
the gloves a scrap of paper. On the
paper, in the awkward, heavy-lilted
handwriting of a child, tvns the fol
lowing:
I am a little girl, i> years old. and
I live in Biiekspurl. Maine. My nan.-
is Cora Norwood. I knit these glo\
for eight cents a pair, and I wish It c
gentleman that buys them would sea .
me a wax doll for*a Christmas pre--
ent. I have not got any, and i w ai l
one real had.’’
On Dec. 17, 1870, a box. accotnp: -
nied by a way-bill, was started frot i
Chicago. The bill was headed: “Unit

as follows: “Description, 1 box : con

On tne way-bill was written, over
the signature of II. Sclierinerhore.
Chicago, III., the following: “The

tains the desired wax doll, being tie-
gift of the employees of the firm -oil

On the back of the way-bill are the

A MAGNIFICENT CHRISTMAS DINNER IN
NEW YORK.
The New York Sun gives an ac
count of an elegant Christmas dinner
at one of the Fiftli Avenue Palaccs.-r
Afler giving the bill of fare, all of
which is written in French,aud which
was no doubt very rich and palata
ble, the Sun says:
Expert dinner givers and diners
out and gastronomists and epicures
will appreciate this menu at its val
ue; but they can form but a feeble
idea of its cxpciiaivencss, even when
told that the strawberries cost fifteen
cents apiece, and that there was an
ample supply for the twenty-eight
guests who sat down to dinner. Each
menu card cost, for the painting and
illuminating alone, *15, not to count
the cost of the red gross grain satin
scarfs, half a yard in length mid a
quarter of a yard wide, to which each
card was attached. Each card had its
appropriate design, conveying a del
icate compliment to tho individual
guest. The table, covered with gor
geous mounted pieces, ivas a glitter
ing mass of Baccarat, glass, silver,
gold, Sevres, porcelain, flowers anti
fruits. The mind of an artist in such
matters directed all the details an.I
arranged the whole service. '\ In-
room, a magnificent apartment 19 feel
by 32 feet, with its walls glowing
with pictures hy the best artists of
Europe and America, itnd all its win
down decorated with Christmas gar
lands, and in each window a white
dove ivas suspended, apparently lint-
tering into the brilliantly lighted,
glowing apartment. Rare exotics dec
orated the consoles, sideboards, anil
other furnitures of I lie room, as well
as the table. Three hundred dollars
was expanded with one florist alonc
lor this part of the entertainment.
The gentlemen of the party (il was
only n family ull'air), were attired of
course in tie* conventional black full
dress suit of a man of society, lint the
costumes of the ladies were superb.
All wore full evening toilets,delicate
colored silks, satins alid velvets w ith
any quantity of genuine . laces, mid
all around the brilliant circle glowed
and flashed over a million.of dollars
of diamonds, in c*rritigs, neo^laees,
eposst-.. pendants, bracele|s,^t-onihs
and ornaments of every description,
not to speak of tho jewelled lingers.
One. pair of solitaire diamonds alone,
worn hr the wealthiest’ lady present,
cost over *50,000.
BtiMlte most remarkable thing toll)
of thii» remarkable dinner is that the
gentlemen though telling their wealtl
by millions displayed no jewelry, not
even a diamond stud, a st-fll i'ing or
a gold watch chain. .> .?

(Jen. .Inmes B. Stecdman, n prom!
nent Ohio Democrat, publishes tin-
following in the Toledo Democrat :
While in Now York a few days ago,
I called on Mr. Tilden, anil hud a five
conversation with him. 1 rang his
hell, was promptly admitted, shown
into Ids parlor, and sent my uiiiiie to
Mr. Tilden, who inn few minutes ap
peared and gave me a cordial recep
tion. I was seated, aud Mr Tilden
at mice commenced the conversation,
which naturally ran into a free talk
about the election of 1870, and the
great Iratlil perpetrated in counting
Mr. Ilayeginto tho presidency., Mr.
Tilden said: ,“I am the only man
ever elected to the presidency and
counted out hy Congress, one branch
of which, tho popular branch, con
tained a large majority of my pro
fessed friends. 1 have been accused
of cowardice while my hands were
tied hy tho action* of my friends. I
was not consulted in regard It; the
electoral hill, and knew nothing about
its preparation or intended adoption
until Mr. Hewitt called and informed
me that the bill had been agreed up-
pon. I said to Mr Hewitt I Imd not
been consulted, and he replied that
Senators Thurman anti Bayard were
acting in llicir public capacity ns Sen
ators, and would not consult any one
outside Ibcir sphere, hut I consult
you, Mr Tilden. T said, Mr. Hewitt,
if SenatorsThui-man and Bayard have
determined upon their action anil
will not consult me, I cannot give ad
vice on the subject to any one. If.
however, my friends have any doubt
as to my election ; if there is a rea
sonable doubt as to whether there
lias been an election hv the people,
the constitution prescribes the reme
dy, an election of President by the
House of Representatives by a vote
of States, and that is wiiat 1 expected
Congress to do. If the House of Re
presentatives Imd elected me I would
have taken the oath amt gone to Wash
ington to ‘ake the office, believing
that my friends would have put me
into the White House. How could I
take the office while my own friends
were arbitrating llie question of my
election ? I censure no one, hut I
have told you t|ic.truth.” I then said
to Mr. Tilden : “After Hie presiden
tial election a number of your friends
in Ohio requested a prominent dem
ocrat, Frank II. Iltird, tn visit you
and ascertain your wishes and pur
pose, and when Mr: Hurd returned
lie reported that we had made no
mistake; Hint wo had elected a brave
old mail, who was ready and willing
to put his life and fortune upon tin-
result. “Yes,” said Mr. Tilden. “I
remember that interview well, and I
was willing then and 1 am willing
now. that it should be published."—
I asked Mr.Tilden if lie was a candi
date for renominntion. lie replied:
“I am in the hands of the democratic
party, and will cheerfully acquiesce
in its decision.’’

Curious Trees.
The India-Rubber Tree,—The In

anil South America.
The Guava Tree.—The guava tree,
from the fruit of which the delicious
jelly is made, is a native of Hie In
dies.
Tallow Tree.—In Malabar, a tree
called the tallotv tree grows; from
the seeds ot it, w hen boiled, is pro
cured a linn tallow, which makes ex
cellent candles.
Life Tree.—There is n tree in Ja
maica called tho “life tree," whose
leaves grow even ivheii severed from
the plant. It is impossible to kill it
save by lire.
Butter Tree.—This singular tree
was discovero-l bv Park in the
tral part of Africa; from its kernel
is produced a nice Gutter, which will
keep a year.
The Bnnynii Tree.—The Banyan
tree is a native of India, anil is an
object of great veneration among the
Hindoos aud Brahmans, who look
upon it as an emblem of the Deity.
The Manna Tree.—The manna tree
rows in Sicily and Calabria. In
August the tree is tapped, and the
sip flows out; after which it hard
ens hy evaporation, and the manna
is left, of a sweet hut nniiscntin
taste.
Fig Tree.—There iH no tree morn
frequently spoken of in the Bible
than Hie tig tree, and a common
even now, in tho streets of Cairo, in
Egypt, is: “In the name of the proph
et-—tigs,” a cry almost universally
used by the vendors of fruits.
The Travelers’ Tree.—A tree called
the travelers’ tree, of Madagascar,
yields a copious supply of fresh wa
ter from its leaves, very grateful to
the traveler. It grows in the most
arid countries, and is another proof
of the lender care of our Heavenly
Father in supplying all his creature
wants.
The Sorrowful Tree.—The sorrow
ful tree is found in the Island of Goa
near Bombay. It is so called because
it only flourishes in Hie night. At
no flowers arc seen, hut soon
after it is covered with them, which
lose up or fall oil as the sun rises.—
It has a fragrant odor, and blossoms
at night the year round.
Wonderful Tree.—The Island of
Fierro, one of the largost of Canaries
is so dry Hint not even a rivulet can
be found, but by a wonderful pro
vision of Providenee there is a spe
cies of tree, -the leaves of-which art-
narrow and long, ftiid eoiilinm

also a constant cloud surrounding lit

(If course the matter nf the tlrst
iporlanee Is the mute bv whirl-, the
•w line w ill In* run. There is no do-
riuimilion made as yet, hut Colonel
llnrh-hiirst says lint lie has surveyed
mill routes towards Atlanta anil
iniicli prefers the ridge route to (lie
alley route. This route will curry
Hie road to Montirclln, in Jasper
anility. From Ibis point there are
i» routes to Atlanta—one by M;>
l^oiiough direct to Atlanta, ami the
•(her to Covitiglon via the Georgia
ailrnnd. By llie McDonough rottio
Hie distance to Atlantu will he about
twenty miles less Ilian hy the M. and
W. road (thirteen to lie exact, I
think,) aud by Covington the distance
'will lie about six tidies luss than by the
Miiron and Western road. My opin
ion is that tho Covington route ivill
lie adopted. It will he mticheheaper
than any other mute, and will com
pete in every sense with the Macon
am* Western road and will have the
advantage of rutiuiug il somo dis
tance front (lie Macon and Western
oad, so HihI it may have Hie benefit
of an undivided local traffic. The
average distance between the two
routes will be about -twenty-eight
miles. If Hie Georgia road does not
make all Hie taritf necessary to the
new mail a new line can be built
from Covington to Atlanta and about
iglit tulles saved by avoiding the
horse-shoe bend at Stone Mountain.
This would give the road considera
ble advantage in distance over the
old one.
The main reason though, in my
opinion, for the Covington route, is
that Hie projectors ot the new route
liopeto push Hicirliue through Rabun
Gap in Hie direction of Hie Macon
anti Knoxville survey and get a
through line that would be almost an
air line from Macon to Knoxville
where it would work its way to the
Cincinnati Southern and the Louis
ville and Nashville systems. This
route would cross the Air Lino at
Flowery Branch and slip through Ra
mi Gap. it is a darling project of
the Macon and Brunswick people,
and will he carried out if there i
any possibility of doing it,

Colonel Hii/.lchiu-st, who built thz

"2,000 net profit last year, and did
not have a fait- chance, as it had to

" hear indirectly that General Mollea
says the bus]ness can lie pushed up
so as to pay *10.000 a month profits,
in which event it will he a small bo

based on tin; business of Hie road as
it stands. What it would be w-lieu

ABOUT THE SUFPOSED NEW COMPANY,
The new company is composed, ac
cording to rumor, of Mr. Vi. G
Wheeler, ami an old friend of Bruns
wick, now in London, Mr. Chauncoy
Vihbard who with Colonel Schlatter,
was once engineer of llie New York
Central, and who w as attracted to
Brunswick many years ago, Mr
Charles Vllihttrd and Mr. Nathaniel
Green. The two first named gentle
men have been interested in Bruns
wick ntlairs for a long time, and have
the greatest confidence in tho “eoinc-
out” of that city. II maybe settlo-l,
therefore, that if they do compose the
company Brunswick’s interests arc in
good hands. Mr. Vihbard was bore
during Rtc legislative session looking
after lint bill. It Is saiil that they will
at once proceed to make great im
provements at Brunswick anil will
start trans-Atlantic steamers. 1 saw a

Who Wrote Slinkspcnre ?
I’licro has been much said of lale
as to who wrote Shakspcarc. We
wore led into the secret Just ns to
how- anil who did the thing, on con
dition, of course, what we say is con
fidential, you know. Our informant
received his information from one
who was present, anti Is substantially
ns follows:
Hamlet overheard Julius Cicsar
tell King Leal; the Twelfth Night
after the Tempest, that Anthony and
Cleopatra hail told Coriolnnus the
Two Gentlemen of Verona wore the
authors of Shakspcarc’s plays. Leah
says: “You may take it As You Like
It, but I don’t believe il, for I beard
Romeo and Juliet snv Love’s Labor
was Lost when Tooilus and Creesidn
stole (lie Comedy of Errors and sold
it to the Merchant of Venice for for
ty bottles of old Roiirlmn ami a pack
age of poker checks. Tiiuon of Ath
ens ami < 'yiiilieline were parties to
thcHicfl; and after drinking Meas
ure for Measure with the Merry
Wive* of Windsor, told King Joint
all about it.” Richard III (a cotiipe-
it-,nt critic) said Hint Bacon could not
write even a Winter's Tale, and Hen

Othello was-dealing a live cent game
of faro to tho V, VI. VII Henry*; and
the only remark made hy them was

HUIIjod Hutchins In td« Washington I’nsl ]
New York, January 1.—I went over
to Menlo |park yesterday nfli-inoon
and evening to see Edison anil his
electric light. The Work-Imp ivas
crowded with people, w in; arr'n e unit
depart by almost every train. Tin-)
are inquisitive and troulih-sum , Inti
notwithstanding (lie nuunynuee they
frequently cause, are treated with
consideration and politeness. Edison
is not only a great inventor, lint Iot
as much patience as Job.
In till about sixty lights are con
stantly maintained and others are be
ing added dully. The first lights are
still burning, have been in steady op
eration for twenty-two day*. The
little carbon horseshoe,ns it' Is called,
scents not to have lost an atom ot’ its
weight or abated a particle of its il
luminating power. If it will hist
twenty-two days without deteriora
tion or loss there seems to he no rea
son why It ehmili) pot iast twenty-
two years or an age. So lur as the
experiment has gone, it is literally
indestructihic. Sir Edi-on considers
this feature of his invention as per
fected, and, as is Well known, (t was
the ope over which lie inis spent the
most little mill which the world con
sidered iiiiHtiainahle.
It is about the size of a fuse, and
resembles one somewh-tt, being Hat
ter, aud of no appreciable thickness.
Once placed in the globe and connect
ed hy the wire which conveys it to
the electrle current, it is appnretrly
safe I'or all lime, so long as the globe
einains unbroken and (lie vacuum
perfect, Edison’s estimate is that the
lamp—I sup.lose that is the best mime
for it—reacly for the attachment to
the feeding or milili w ire, will cost
not more than twenty-five cents. It
is, therefore, cheaper than the com
mon gas-hurncr and globe. The
next point to he settled is the cost of
the electricity. Mr. Edison says that
the host lie lias been able to do is to
sustain eight ligiits to one horse pow
er, That is, one horse power will
manufacture, by friction, enough elec
tricity to maintain in the fullest de
gree of incandescence, eight burner-..
He hopes to be nblc to do a little bet
ter than this, ns there is an estimated
loss of between twenty and thirty per
cent of the former.
The cost of maintaining one horse
power at Menlo park, he puts down
at two cents, in other places, where,
coal costs less than here, this fignrn
could lip reduced ; elsewhere it must,
of course, be increased. At the rate
of Iw-o cents an hour—the power be
ing the only expense that needs to lie
considered, the additional cost being
the merest trifle—a burner giving the
light of at \-ft foot gas burner would
be one-fourth of a cent an hour. A
thousand feet of gas will run two
hundred live-foot burners an hour.
It costs in Washington two dollars.
This would be one cent an hour for
each burner. So it will be seen that
if these figures are correct, Edison’s
light will cost only one-fourth as
much as the cheapest gas.
Here in New York, however, 1
hare been surprised to learn how
great has been tho reduction in the
price of gas. The Western Union
offices are paying now only seventy
five cents a thousand, which is, I sup
pose, tho lowest price It is sold for.—
The difference, therefore, between the
electric light and gas in New York
would be very slight.
Next, as to the character of the
light, and here there can be no ques
tion that the advantage is altogether
with Edison. The electric lamp is a
steady glrw. There is no combustion
or appearance of it. It is the flash of
a thousand diamond facets perpetu-
tcd. It is in no sense dazzling to the
eye, however. You can stare 'at it
and feel no weariness of the vision.
It is the highest form of illumination
known. There is no flicker, subsi
dence or increase. .It cannot be turn
ed down or up. There is nothing be
tween it and darkness. It consumes
no air and, of course, docs not vitiate
any. It has no odor or color. It is
simply light. One can turn it on or
off as easily as a gas burner—(lie im
portant advantage being that no
matches are needed.
Mr. Edison has received-a number
of applications for the right to use his
invention iu Washington, but over
this, lie informed me, lie had no con
trol. It is the property of a company
formed in New York of which Dr.
Norvin Green, of tho Western Union
telegraph company, is President. -
This company is a joint stock organi
zation, witlt *300,090 capital and lias
furnished Edison with all the money
lie lias needed to prosecute anil per
fect liis experiments. The par value
of each share is *100, nnd a month
ago they were offered for *150. I saw
a man to-day who was offered twen
ty shares last week for *2,800. To-day
it was sold for *5,500, and that prob
ably will be in a short time quoted as
ridiculously low.
It is estimated that four hundred
millions arc invested in gas slocks in
the United States alone, and if Edi
son’s invention knocks oil' even ten
per cent of their value, there will lx
a clear loss of forty millions. There
pro persons who insist that llie low
est value of one share of the Edison
stock Is the sum of forty millions di
vided hy three thousand—which
would ho about fourteen thousand
dollars—a pretty good profit on an
investment of *100. The introduction
of Hie electric light to houses itnd
stores, let me sav in conclusion, will
ho comparatively of no expense. Ed
ison tins invented a hug, which being
nltnclicd to Hie illuminating wire,
will crawl right through the gas
pipes and thread them as a woman
threads liCr needle. This seems like
a stupid hoax, hut it isn’t—il is a fact.
The hug is an iron or steel one. and
travels hy electricity.
