Though late in the to the many friends of the family. I suppose it was tho most superb '‘housewarming” ever given since Lorenzo di Medici opened his ar tistic palace at Florence. Indeed, as the magnificent Ghi berti doors from Florence (copied by Hnrbedienne of Paris, exhibited in 1878) swung open for me, I tell transported to that noble rnedheval time when the sincere ami the beau tiful walked with tho archi tect and the painter. I entered a square vestibule, surrounded with architraves of pale yellow marble, and before me stood n superb mala chite vase, occupying the centre of the room. Thiec mose bronze doors then opened into cloak rooms and dressing rooms, and I entered n vast hall, Yvhicli extends the full height of tlio house, Yvith galleries pn each story. Square columns of a deep red marble, witli rich napi- tals of bronze, support the galler ies. Tile balustrades running round them struck me as heautlfii works of art on which figures, Yvroatlis, and garlands shine in brass against a background of bronze. A richly carved wainscot of English oak surrounds the room A great wood fire burned plente ously in a bounteous fireplace, which reached to the ceiling. Here brass ornaments, garlands Ac., against a dark background recall the work so emphasized in France in the days of Louis XIV. Bronze female figures, red marble, every thing superb! Mrs. Vanderbilt received in the saloon, Yvhicli looks out on Fifth avenue, and the room is simply a casket of jewels It is dazzling. Tke'prophry Columns aro enriched Yvith seeming amethysts, rubles,dia monds, and emeralds. The gas lights shine from behind a vaif of what seems to bo precious stones. Tho woodwork is profusely carved, inlaid Yvith mother of pearl, gilded, and toned down by glaze.

Mr. Vanderbilt seems always to be apologizing for being so ncli and so generous. He is singularly un pretending, as are all his family.

Singleton vs. 8. W. Railroad. It will be remembered that Mr. Singleton, who now lives at Tazewell, got on the pay train wbilo it was standing on the track dt Geneva, intending to ride to Howard. Jlo had the necessary ticket, and simply made a mistake and got on the pay train believing it to be tho accommodation pass enger. The conductor ordered him ofT, and in getting off the train lie broke Ids leg. Mr. Singleton sued the railroad in Talbot Superior Court in 1880 and was awardee) a verdict of $14,000 damages. The Supremo Court reversed this de cision on the ground that the dam ages assessed was too much, and tlio case was remanded back to the Superior Court of Talliot county. In the spring of 1881 the case again came up, when the verdict was $5,000. The railroad again carried it to the Supreme Court, and it lias again been remanded to the Talbot Superior Court on the ground that the Judge erred in Ins cliargo to tho jury Huena I'tula Argun.
