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.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 2fi, 1887. 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. They Improve the ooms In Which lheyArePl cod. From the .Vein York Examiner. I think that the appearance of any Kitting roomisiinpr vo l fully 20 per cent, during the winter months by having n few healthy ornamental or flowering plants neatly ar ranged in a sunny window. And lam satisfied that, tn.wt, houseke|s>re are of t o same opinion, judging from their strenuous, though often lit tile, efforts to preserve n few lavorites from that fell destroyer. Jack Frost. The task is a comparatively easy one when bard coal stoves are used, as a good fire mn l> kept going all night; but when 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.

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. IN’S U It ANCE. Tlie Savamal Fite ami Marise Insurance Company.
