SIX WEEKS AT QUARANTINE.
Thty Dramatic Story of an Immigrant
Prisoner in a Floating Pest house.
From the New York World.
An unassuming Italian immigrant, ap
parently well educated, but driven by pov
erty from his native land, took passage on
the ill-fated cholera ship Alesia. In looking
among the city departments for work he
ruet with a reporter who understood his
language. Hero is the story he told when
assed whtt six weeks’ quarantine were like
to him:
“ VVe left Naples behind us on Sept. 3,”
said the Italian through an interpreter.
“We supposed that we had left the hand
cholera behind us, also. There were 501 of
its, but two of whom were ill, and they but
slightly. A week passed. No sic mess
showed itself. A week and no chofem! We
had reason to suppose that we had escaped
it- dread grasp. But, no! We had been
nine days cut when a young man named
Luigi Maria died, after a few hours’ illness.
His bodv was hastily consigned to tbe
waves after the usual services. The ship’s
surgeon and officers looked pale and grave,
but noth.ug was said. At that time tbe
passengers (lid not kuow the cause for these
alarmed countenances, but they learnel
later. Three days later, and Antonio Baid
yaua became ill, and was a corpse ufu few
hours after his first attack.
“An uneasiness settled upon the passen
¥ers and was communicated to the crew.
here was something in the sudden taking
off of these men which suggested cholera,
and the suggestion was more suggestive be
cause of the tact that we had lelt a cholera
infected port.”
“The next to go was a saiior, who was
taken ill a id died the following dav, the
Be t. 16. It was useless to attempt to c n
ceal the fact 1 nger—the dread disease was
upon us.
“The realization was terrible! In Italj r
we could flee from the scourge. In the
mountains we could find at least fancied
security from its ravages. But there we
were, penned in between the l.mited walls
of the s lip, with but an apparently
limitless waste of waters about us. cori
detuned to remain aud see our feilow
ti avelers, our friends and our relatives die,
and, perhaps, to die ourselves, without an
op ortunity to evade our fate.
“The first feeling wa- one of determined
resistance to fate, but this was succeeded,
after realizing its futility, by a stolid indif
ference among some, while others sat nr un 1
and seemed to chafe at the slowness of
Deat h in cla rning tbem for his victims.
“Days dragged on. The officers of the
vessel performed their duties in a perfunc
tory sort of way, as though they might as
well be called while at their post as in
moping and bewailing their situation.
“Death was accepted as his lot by every
man on the ship, and yet the floating post
house was driveu on' to its destination as
though its freight of disease was as welcome
as so much gold ami precious stones to the
New World. No oue had thought that he
might escape what was universally accepted
as the common lot until land was s gfited
on Sept. 22, when they who were not yet
stricken fi st began to realize that there
was still ho|>e in aTolease from the disease
impregnated prison house which held them.
“How long were tho hours which inter-
venetl between the sighting of land anil ilie
morning of S nt. 21, when our yellow flag
brought, the Health Officer aboard with an
order that we go into quarantine!
“Our hopes, w hich had risen with a sight
of the land on which we had hoped to set
foot and fly from the pest which had pur
sued us across the ocean, were dashed
by the order that we lie isolated L oin the
rest of mankind on the islands in the bay.
This order wa a terrible disappointment.
We must remain and flirt with and ath. But
our chances for life were materially in
creased, and we welcomed the change from
the plague-infect-d h p to the not over
bo pi table island with eagerness.
"We were not compelled to huddle to-
f ether with the sick,, and dying.
Vom these we wore isolated.
* E ght of our passengers and crew had
died on the voyage, and many were ill with
the dreadful dtseas • when we arrived. New’
cases were reported daily.
“The capacity fur grief seemed to be lost,
on board the vessel, but on the Island it was
different. Hope hat! returned. With what
poignant grief was it 1 learned of the ill
ness and death of a brother, whose loss
would have hardly been noticed had it oc
curred on shipboard. In the six dreary
weeks of banishment I u ed to watch with
longing eyes the inward-bound vessels sail

I chafed more anti more every day for re

me crazy."

THE PROPER HOW-DE-DO.
Bowing, L ands axing and Such.
From the Chicago Herald.
A foreigner, who had been visiting in
America, went home and wrote a book
about Bs, as almost all foreigners da I
fancy be could not have been well received
over here, for he cut us up most effectually,
and among othertliingshesaid: “Snobbish
ness is a peculiarity of the fashionable set
in America, owing, no doubt, to the fact
that people there never do know exactly
where they stand."
If we believe in the equality of every
body, as we claim we do, why should there
lie even a grain of truth in his statement I
If we are on a level why do we bow to the
possessor of the mighty dollar! Why do we
accept thejr mandates' and their dictas as
our creed, and vet rebel all the time! It
seems to me it would be lie! ter quietly to
acknowledge the aristocracy of the rich,
aud with dignity take up a middle position,
or with equal uobleuess bend to the necessi
ties of au adverse fate which points to a
lowly lot. in life, A social code here is au
ever-changing creed; it lives not on in a
straight unvarying line, as do those of older
countries, or w here t here is a court life to
make and hold certain forms.
Much pain is felt by sensitive people in
the matter of introductions, and the pros
and cons of introducing and not intro
ducing are discussed with lively interest
among many people. The traveling world
goes abroad, goes East, goes to Washington,
goes everywhere, and, seeing some striking
mode, seizes it with avidity, packs it snugly
away in some unoccupied corner of the
mind, and brings it out (oft-times redressed
in habiliments so new thjit it scarcely
recognizes itself) to spring upon some
unsuspecting friends. Among what is
called “society people’’ it has become
the habit to waive the matter of in
troduction in one's own house, taking as a
foundation, firm and secure, for such pro
cedure, the old sterling precept,, ’•What’s
good enough for me i* good enough for you,”
or, in other words applicable to introduc
tions, "The roof tree is the introduction.”
If you are a lady’s friend, and another per
son is her friend also (your friendship should
not be bers unless your confidence is), and
you meet that other person in her house,
she is a guarantee for the other’s respecta
bility; and every one should learn early in
life that the acquaintance of respectable
persons is a thing never to be ashamed of.
We have all hear ! the story of a young
person (femiuine gender, of course) who was
asked at some musicale to a sist an elderly
lady in pinning together a rent in her dress.
Instead of replying this young person
turned away and rushed hastily across the
room, but returning almost instantly with
the hostess aud being presented, said: “I
will gladly assist you now, but I could uot
before, as we bad not been introduced,"
"My dear,” replied the elder woman,
“graciousness is ever becoming; I felt sure
one of Mrs. C.’s friends would be glad to
help another; I trust you may not have
offended our hostess in doubting the t es|ie<'-
tability of the people she has invited you
to meet under her roof.” I have
always wanted to finish out this story, ln
the fairy tale of the good fair in dis
guise, by having the older woman some
important personage in the soci il world
whom the younger woman hi and longed to
know, but Fuck or Life, or whatever paper
gave us the story, left the finishing to our
imagination. IVhat can lie more awkward
than in one of the small card parties, which
are the popular mode of entertaining among
our great middle class to see the hostess
seize each arriving guest by the arm and
pilot her or him around the room, making
known each person assembled by name! If
it might be acoepted as it is in the world of
fashion, that all may chat and be pleasant
to any otner or oth rs for the evening how
much more smoothly the whole thing would
go off; how much awkwardness would be
saved.
If the incoming guest be a total stranger,
w.th a piiAi ant little glance over the shoul
der and a slightly elevated voice, the hostes;
might sayi “Mrs. Brown, ladies," and then
to someone standing near, “Let ms seize
the opportunity to make you two known to
eacu other, at least by name.” It would be
so much easier all round most markedly for
the entertainers, but what are they to do
when they kuow positively such and such
persons will go home ser.ously offended “lie
cause Mrs. d.d not introduce us.”’
Another poin in this matter should bo
firmly imprintel; such chatting with
st rangers does not form an acquaintance,
does not involve the participants in even
the necessity of recognition on another oc
casion.
1 do not recommend the entire ceasing of
introduction, because until it is generally
accepted and pe iplo have become accus
tomed to the idea, the result would occasion
dull gloom, silent stiffness, or no one would
know what to do; the ideas should le more
widely disseminated and allowed to simmer
when a good outcome is sure, for American
people are very receptive aud good; sensible
ideas soon meet, with favor aim acceptance.
I have lieeu ask'd many times if one
should shako hands on being introduced.
That is a matter of taste. An Knglis unaii
on meeting an American whom he delights
to honor, shakes hands because he believes
that is tlie American habit, aud ho wishes
to pay a compliment by making use of it.
I wonder how he would like to rub noses
with a New Zealander to pay hitu the sane
compliment! li e have been laughed at for
promiscuous shaking of hands so much that
instinctively we are ceasing to do it. Still,
{larticidarly among men, the form is ad
lered to. Fashionable women, who, of
course, set the style (whether t icy s ould or
not is aaoth r question), now eurtrey in
quite the old style; meu quite a; gen rally,
taking up the quaint fashion of the German
military, click their heels together and make
a stiff tend from the waist.
I was astonished by a person asking me
the other day: “Let. me see if you bow
correctly?” I exclaimed in astonishment:
“I never thought of such a thing. I l>ow
noturally.” But on investigation I found
f i at unconsciously every time I bowed I
lsut the entire laxly from the knee—so
slightly as to bo almost imperceptible, yet
enough to be uoticed if one’s attention was
called to the matter. Of course the effect,
resulted from a cause, and that was due to
an old dan ing master’s instruction in far
off childhood's days, so long ago that the
instruction was forgotten while the lesson
w as put into daily use, nay hourly.
So much more are these little marks of
refinement and cultivation noticed and
taughtuowadays that it is worth while to
call every one’s attention to them.
What a dancing master may do for one
young person, n mother may with a little
care an for another, while Dame Nature
herself implants at’ instinctive know edge
into the mmdt of a favored few To bow
properly, as well as gracefully, a percepti
ble flow of motiou should lx felt through
the entire body from the ntikles.
PROTECTING HOUSE PLANTS.

From the .Vein York Examiner.
I think that the appearance of any Kitting

the winter months by having n few healthy
ornamental or flowering plants neatly ar

satisfied that, tn.wt, houseke|s>re are of t o

soft coal or wood fires sro the sole d|<e id
ence for keeping the frost, king out, ttie
result is almost invariably disastrous to the
life of the plant’.
Asa general thing the living room is
warm enough during the daytime to keep
the plants from freezing, however cold it
may be outside, but when night cones nnd
fire* go down, the deetroyer creep* in and
works sad havoc. 1 have known women to
carry a dom or two plants down cellar
•verr night and up again the Heat morning
through the whole winter, rather than to
lose thorn. I havo known others, who have
no cellars, to place their plants in n wash
Lit) during the extreme cold w oathar, cover
them with papers and quilt-., and got up
once or twice every night to stir up aud re
plenish the tire, and to lose theft) at last by
a sudden blizzard that came down white
they slept. It really is pitiable to see a
hat’ll-working woman regarding with silent
sorrow the frozen forms of her pet plants.
She tries hard to keep back the tears from
fear of being laughed at, but she feels badly
enough to “cry her eyes out.’’
These women are hot “cranks" as many
men seem to think. They love the beauti
ful forms and fragrant blooms, the echoes
of bright, sunny summer days now gone;
and only the hard-fisted, soulless thing,
who is so devoted to self or oney ns to lie
fit only for the companionship of hyenas
will t liiuk of sneering at, them.
I have seeu quite a numb.’r of contrivan
ces for keeping plants from freezing, nearly
all of which were" kept warm by the heat
from a lamp, ami therefore dangerous to
have in a house: but I have lately bvn
shown one that is perfectly safe, and also
compact and convenient, It, is a box. throe
fe.*t square and two feet deep, made of com
mon pine boards. It has a close-fitting
cover, and the whole interior is lined
with four tiiickne-jww of building
paper. lu one corner is a galvanize
iron tank, with a filling tube at one side of
the top, which project- through the side of
the box and turns up two inches, and a fau
cet nt the bottom, which also projects
through the side of the box. The tank hold*
nearly three bucketfuls of water,and its top
is covered with several thicknesses of pacer
held down by a board, which serves as a
shelf for stnaii plants. Between the tank and
sides of the box are several additional sheets
; of paper. All this extra padding is intended
to prevent the escape of heat iu the wrong
direction, and it seems to do this effectively.
Nine-tenths of the heat from the tank i>
radiated• into the box where it is wanted,
and as it ex-apea very slowly the interior is
kept warm a long Line, even when the cold
outside is intense.
The water in the tank is heaP-d by draw
ing off one fourth to one-half of it, and re
placing with a like quantity boiling hot.
Aud it, is necessary to exercise some care
that the safe is uot made too hot inside for
the plants.
The home of the owner of this plant-safe
is in a bleak location, and the thermometer
sometimes falls to bol >w zero in the
room where her flowsiw arc kept; yet site
never has had one injured by reo'st since
she began to use thjs sale. During the day
time the plants occupy shelves and brackets
in a sunny window, and at night are placed
in the safe, which stands in a corner near by.
in very severe weather she sometimes
keeps the plants in the safe several days at
a time, raising the cover a little during the
dy to admit air, and sprinkling them with
water occasionally. She also keeps u small
pan filled with water in the safe, to supply
moisture for the leaves and prevent them
from wilting. Just before retiring she pnts
a kettleful of boiling water into the tank,
shuts down the cover, aud no matter how
the winds may’ howl and tly> snow fly,
she knows her plants are perfectly safe
from harm.
She lias the box nicely papered on the out
side, and ornamented with chromoa cut from
catalogues, so that it is quite a i.eat piece of
furniture. It stands on legs, about four
inches long, with casters attached, and it
can lie moved about the room as readily’ as
a table.
It is such a cheap, simple, earily con
structed aff ir that every person who loves
flowers, and finds it difficult to keep thorn
in cold weather, should have ope. It is as
•safe as a bucket of water, and any ono pos
sessed of co union sense can manage it
ONE BALD AND ONE GOLDEN.
The Story oi Two Eagles im Show tn
a Norwich Store Window.
From the Sew York Sun.
Norwich, Dec. 9.—The Legislature in
18&3 ena/*ted a law making the penalty for
the offens s of killing an American eagle a
flue of irom m to foO and the cost of pros
ecution, or an imprisonment of not more
than thirty days. Having adopted the
statute, ir was at once placed in the archive
of inert laws, for the number ot which
Connecticut is distinguished above other
fates, and the American eagle was shot
with reinvigorated impunity. With char
acteristic spirit country hunters, who, prior
to the pft-s,>ge of the law, had not cared
much about shouting Amvicau eagles, neg
lected no opportunity to bring down the
bird of freedom.
For reas ins not understood by local or
nithologists, ihe Thames river valley has al
wavs been a favored haunt el the national
bird. In the past fifteen years every eagle
that has been killed iu the State, with the
exception c.f one or two shot in Fairfield
I county, has been kiiitd in this volley.
Almost, da lv an eagle may be x-en above
this river, sometimes a mere s)>eck against
the blue dome, often hovering over a vnl ey
farmstead to find out whether the farmer
has anything good to eat in his poultry
yard, or winging his way treacherously
under cover of the forests that skirt the
river banks, looking for a chance to rob au
industrious fish-hawk of his fresh 11-h.
From tho valley the eagles occasionally
journey over to Stouingiun, and even to
Rhode 1-lan l iu seaich of meat, fish and
clams on tin* long, loue.y be icbes.
It was the intent of the eagle statute
to preserve the Thames river valley as a
breeding place, the legislators being moved
by a latidabl tear that, if the destruction of
the bird went on there, would not lie eagles
enough left in the State after a few yea, s
fur Fourth of celebrations and other
patriotic purpose-, hut it is apparent that
the American , nglf can look out for h'uiseU'
without the help of Ha t,ford and in spite
off lawless hunters. Within a week or two
four handsome birds have been shot iti t his
part of tho State, three m the valley, and
one neat’ Weslerly by a small boy with a
rusty musket. Tho handsomest bird, which
is agl int, his been set up, and is now on
public exhibition in a store window hi this
city, in undesign, and evtdenc of the efficacy
of Connecticut statutes. It is not so bald as
the bald eagle of Westchester, but Its
feathers are very thin on th * top of its h<>nd,
and there is a lieautiful capo of white feath
ers under it; wings, with a band of white
about, the neck.
In the window it ts the distinguished com
pany of a golden eagle, a rare oird in New
England, which was captured in a steel trap
in 1 ’re too in the ignoble business of steal
ing chickens from Mr. Guile, of that town,
a few weeks ago. It hid a habit of drop
ping into Mr. Guile’s vard daily and carry
ing vff a hen ora turkey, and it hat got
nu ay with about, a dozen of hi- fowls liefore
the steel tn,p fastened to its lean. It, is a
much bigger nnd an imm ire ly stronger
b rd th in l lie bald eagle, with a gi'enl spread
ot pinions that eould p wily carry away a
full-grown turkey or a lamb. Mr. Guile has
no doubt tlial n could h ive flown away wih
a baby if it hail been fond of couutry babies
in tue" rough.
