Looked at from the point of view of wstbetio decoration, lias become acult,,a1mosta religion with its high priests and creeds. Wall papers dados, troacos, chintzes, tones, semi* tones, hemi-semitone8, and colors, snob as "robin’s egg,” French shades such as "Bismarck bllleux” and "an expended sigh,” or "primerose yellow,” “crushed strawberry ;” embroideries ancient, mod* ern, medlicvnl; furniture that must be “sincere,” or “Immoral;*’ rugs with plum bloom” on them: tapestries that "small of the woods;” brlo-s-brso, “priceless" “curious,” "deeply interest ing,” "sweetly suggestive,” “profound* ly false In oolor and treatment"—who does not know and recognize these terms and properties as essential to the modern home? Ever tinoe the centen nial a erase for each things has raged in the country, and a whole dictionary of terms lias arisen In which to describe them. A wide-eprosd and almost nni* versa! desire and ambition to possess them hu sprung up, too, which, in its turn, has created a literature in which matter* of taste are discussed as if noth* lag more solemn or more vital existed in thia or any other world. Individuals here and there (sensitive souls of a pre-eminently delicate and fas tidious order) have become so Imbued with tbs principles and rules laid down for them that they have almost died of a green and yellow' melancholy In rooms where these colors have been improper* ly combined. Lies have been driven to despair by boarding-house eurtains and carpets or hotel ehromos and decoration. Gentlemen, even, have been made mis erable by stone chins, and grown mor bid from enforced association with horse-hair furniture and wax flowers. One of them we hear of as always carry ing a bit of icsthetlc cretonne in bis pocket,instead of a vinaigrette when obliged to'go to barbarous houses where the colors "swear at each other,” as the trench put It. Bachelors have become the rivals of any lady in the land in their knowledge and appreciation o* the the delicate tasks hitherto considered essentially feminine, each erf the draping of chair-backs, the setting 8f tables, the looping of curtains, the art of arranging cosey corners and producing “effects.” —From an Article by Francea Courtenay Baylor, in December Lippi ncott’s. The problem of what a given man will do under the pressure of a given quantity of intoxicating beverage always an Intereating one to student* of human nature. The other evening the usual number of well-dreseed gentlemen about town were In the various stages of dining at a certain eating house In Americus. That is to sey, some were at bread and water and their favorite evening ^ewe- paper, awaiting the eorollatlon of the waiter, and the culinary department; some were in soup and mnstaohe strug* gle; some were "discussing”—to use a plain word, eating—the various chops and birds on toast, not disconnected with malt served up at this' popular re sort, end others were dallying with glasses of Barleycorn, and small bottles, and cigars, and tooth-picks and mellow conversation. The portrait* of several stage celebrities on the walls looked 1 down upon thegastronomfeal scene with stern wistfulness. Why actors and actresses long since departed are thus compelled to furnish forth bachelor breakfasts, and sll dsy ordorous chop and the midnight quail, with their varied liquid paraphernalia. Is one of many things that Is a sealed vol ume to mortals hare below. But they seem to he necessary. Perhaps It if by. way of stimulating the digestion; per haps It is one of the penalties of having lived to well on earth. Anyhow, the usual array of the foot-light profession were doing business at the old stand without a chop or a drink. In the midst of this scene of the “quiok and the dead,” a gentleman sud denly arose, and, looking wildly around, shouted: “No man in tills place can held me!” If one of the actors who has been dead dozen of yoars had suddenly leaped down from the wall and offered to settle Ids mouldering score at the bar the as sembled gentlemen could scarcely have been more astonished. Half a dozen chops seemed to have gone the wrong way at once, and one man Inadvertantly tossod off his elbow-man’s wine. "I’ll bet there isn’t a man In this crowd who can hold me!" repeated the gentleman, defiantly. • ' No one seemed to entertain the flim siest desire to hold hihi. He was some what over-large for a baby. He stood firmly on Ids pins. There was apparent ly no valid reason why 'he should be held. On the contrary, an almost yearning wish ’ appeared on every countenanoe that be should not be held but allowed to go, and the desire was more plainly written about tho eyes of the proprietor of the place. That gentleman at once stepped forward and gently hinted that sneh were his fondest hopes. Whereupon the gentleman, for he was clearly eucb, sat down quietly and relit his fragrant weed and scut the eplral columns of smoke upward. The chops again began to chop, the mellow conversation was caaght up again where It had - been dropped like hot shot and the portrait of the dead pugilist on the wall looked sour enough to eurdle a milk punch.' Tills serenity, however, |wos soon dis pelled again by the eceentrle individual rising in his place and again ehoutlng bit defiance: ‘There ain't a man In this whole crowd who can hold me!” Whether this was a slip In grammar or the rising disgust at this second out burst, the friend of the man who 'couldn’t be held” got up and palled the latter down Into a cane-bottom chair so peremptorily, so violently, in fact, that the chair gave way, the friend fell on him, and in a moment's time both became so tangled np that you could not tell one from the other. Like Kilkenny cats, they elawed and bit, providentially gravitating toward the door and out into the street. Nobody cared to hold either of them. Some seconds afterward, when quiet held sway, a battered up gentleman, with a light overcoat ripped from stern E.&ME7, AN ECHO OF It Is Moos. MR EYESIGHT.
