New York, Nov. 23.—It was a clock—
a large clock of Dresden porcelain, piok,
bine, ivory, white and gilt. Lcda’s swans
wreathed their curving necks under it,
lifting their heads toward a rosy Venus,
who reclined above, with little loves wind
ing flowers in her hair. Chubby, winged
Cnpids chased one another up and down
the aides, swinging in wanton frolic from
hanging lengths of grape vine.
The clock was flanked by candelabra,
also of Dresden porcelain. That on the
right showed a shepherdess, crook in hand,
in a posy-strewn meadow, sitting under a
tree, whose fruit was the ten gleaming
lights that shone in the room. That on
the left represented a disconsolate pink
, D( ] white shepherd, bcneatli a companion
tiant oi the forest, one arm thrown around
its trunk, the other outstretched to the
teasing, m eking lass across the way.
Clock and candelabra were the orna
ments of a mantel after a design of the
grand siecle, constructed of ivory set in
ebony and ornamented with light graceful
designs picked out in gold. The hearth
tiles were of Mexican onyx, translucent,
and almost transparent with veinmgs of
brown. The floor was of delicato inlaid
wood in ebony and maple. Above the
mantel the wall was covered with gold leaf
making a spread of splendid surface of lu
minous gold, whose lights and shades were
brought out by the soft folds of flowered
bnxades Ailing the spaces between the
panels. The ceiling of white and gold
was painted with nymphs and graces after
a pretty, frivolous, mvthologic design of
Fragonard.
A low, deeply upholstered chair of rose
pink brocade set in a frame of orniulu was
drawn to the fire. Asmall oval table, gilt,
with top of ivory-colored silk stood beside
it, with a volume of poems, bound in shot
silk fringed with a full pinked out ruch-
ing, for its burden. In the chair one
might imagine a bepowdered, beflounced,
bflowered dame after Watteau or ont of
the conrt of the Pompadour, smiling, pink
snd white, pleasure-loving, artificial,
ebarming. Instead, there eat a tailor-
made girl making an afternoon 'call, her
watikenphnst boots extended over so little
in the direction of the gilt bronze renais
sance andirons.

IVORY AND ONYX.
We are a little mixed as to our epochs.
We dress after Josephine, but we furnish
after Pompadour. Think of reading
“Robert Elsinere" cradled in the vnluptu
on* depths of a blue silk Louis XV. snn
chair. In point of fact we aro wearied
with thinking. Deliver ns for once from
the continual aspiration of the gothic and
the eternal mystery of the medieval. Have
done even with the art conscience ol the
aesthetic. We aro confronted with the
anknowable within us; without, let us
forget it, let its comfort ou selves with a
lit Us rest in the prettinea* and the pettiness,
the picturesqueness and the carelrssnew,
the sunshine snd blue skies and dipped
lawns, the simpers and the patches, the
smiling grace and highly finished art of a
day that knew the deluge was coming and
danced to forget the flood.
We have done with heavy carving and
high backs. Give us no more dark colors.
We have gone over heart and soul to pink
ud gold and blue, to crystal and brass, to
ivory and mother of pearl, to lacquer and
jhUyiug—to everything that is bright and
laughter-loving au.t carelessly glad.
The drawing-ro m is metamorphosed.
The nuiive, beautifully carved English
furniture is dethroned. Tiny, oval tables,
tnlsid with marqueterie and profusely
gilded are the vogue. The jardiniere is

INLAID SCREEN TABLE.
One strong point of the new furnishing
is the table. We rejoice in a mania for
tables. Tables stand every where. We lit
ter our paalora with tiny three-cornered
tables, veneered with cocobolo; with
diamond tableB in tinted enamel, with cleft-
oval tables jn ormolu and silk, with screen
tables showing courtiers in knee breeches
gallantly leading a dame iu white stock
ings and decollete gown across the step
ping stones of a brook painted on the
square of brocade set in onyx or gilt which
forms the back; w ith clover tables inlaid
with the famous marqueterie of Italy, with
immense, oblong tablee, inlaid top and
legs, with exquisite Sevres tiles. We live
in a world of tables, tables and parlor
pedestals of pink amaranth bearing stat
uettes ol white marble. Marble has been
out long, but it is in now. It rivals bronze
and bisque and every substance of which
we have been making our ornaments.
White marble is the material of the
winter.
FOR THE 1IALL.
For the hall and the diuing room we
cling still to English taste, but it is Eng
lish greatly modified by the Venetian and
French. Uld oak and mahogany are with
us, but they are the old oak and mahog
any of Sheraton and Chippendale. We
have said good-by decidedly to the old-
fashioned hall rack, and now we have a
large Venetian mirror with carved frame
siip|iorting hat pegs of quaint sbtries, un
der which stands a carved settee, or possi
bly a large, ; H wooden chest with wrought
iron lock and hiDges.

Simpler chambers are furnished much
in the same fashion. The brass bedstead
is replaced by one of iron with brass

Jay Gould's Orchid Collection.
From the Boston Globe, Hot- 19.
Gould’s fad, as you may know, is orchids
of which be has superb specimens, worth
fabulous sums. It is said his green houses
at Irvington cost more than his residence
there. '1 he house itself is of marble, and
is of the Gothic order of architecture.
With the exceptions of a picture gallery
all the room* are comparatively snisll. It

sense which is usually applied to the
country seats of millionaire*. Cyrus Field,
Mayer Hewitt, Secretary Whitney, Cham
A. Dzna and a doz-n other rich New York
citizens have costlier residences than Jay
Gould.
Since the time when Mr. Gould’s green
houses were partly destroyed by fire they
have bem entirely reconstructed, at a cost
oi nearly $200,000. They may almost be
termed palaces of gias<, so elaborately are
they finished. The iron pipe* alone cost
$15,000, while the ataioe<l glass decora
tions costtwice as much more. The head
gardener, who has nine awi*lants, has
been in Jay Gould’* employment for nine
teen year*. He resides in *u $3,000 hou-e.
The greenhouses occupy about nine acres
of ground.
The gardeners are kept busy in cutting
flowers, which are rent all over the coun

of much more value.

[Tlie novel spectacle ol a groom suing for
l>i* bride has just been witnessed at Bau*
dero, fifty miles west of San Antonio, Tex.
The extreme popularity of the young I
laity, her romantic courtship, clandestine I
marriage and subsequent forced removal
from her husband's side by an angry
father, within an hour after the connubial
knot was tied, has made the case quite cel
ebrated.
Miss Ella Tailor is the pretty 17-year-
old daughter o! J. F. Taylor, a well-to-do
stockman of Bandera. It was the boast of
her admirers that she could wear her
9-year-old sister’s oboes. Miss Ella was
the belle of all Handera county, but 6he
completely lost her head over a young
spendthrift named Jackson. So reckless,
daring and so thoroughly dissipated were
his habits that Mr. Taylor forbade the
young man from visitiug his daughter.
The command amounted to no more
than a sigh to a whirlwind. The lovers
met clandestinely, and in July last eloped
to Boeme, a town tweutv-five miles dis
tant, and were married Ly a magistrate.
The father followed in hot pursuit, and
arrived just in time to be too late. Mr.
Taylor’s indignation was aroused to a
pitch of intense wrath, and he
proceeded to lake charge ot his
daughter, regardless of young
Jackson’s protest that he was now her
nearest relative. Mr. Taylor, neverthe
less, drove home with his daughter, the
groo n following behind. For these past
four months Jackson has been unable to
speak to his wife, so close has the watch
been kept. On several occasions he and
his unwilling father-in-law have had a
street clash, but nothing serious resulted.
Recently Mr. Jackson swore out a writ
of habeas corpus^ alleging that his wife
was forcibly detained by her father. The
case came un before Judge Paschal, who
ordered the bride, the husband and the fa
ther before him. The girl was given to
understand that she was now under the
protection of the law, and that it was her
privilege to decide with whom she desirfd
to live. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson held aeon-
sultaion for nearly half an hour, and thm
returned to the court room, where half of
the village inhabitants had assembled to
hear the case.
“Now,” said the judge, “with whom do
you desire to live?”
“I want to go with papa,” chirped the
blushing wife; and the judge immediately
denied the writ and rendered judgment in
favor of the father
As Ella left ihe^courtroom young Jack-

riage to him was a failure, but he guessed
he’d be able to stand it.

Something He Toltl on Himself Concerning
the Lnt* War.
Mr. Jack F. Crutchfield came over from
the Augusta Exposition on the train of
yeHerdny morning. “While enjoying his
cigar in the after part of the sleeper, he
told a party from Savannah his first expe-
rience a* a soldier. It was in the vicinity
of that city and, of course, it was during
the little fust »e had some twenty odu
years ago. Up to the time when Mr.
Crutchfield left Macon, his knowledge of
rivers was confined entirely to that obtained
while ff:J;;ng for “cats” in the Ocmttlgee.
and l^ebad every reason to believe that all
rivers Hewed down stream until they
emptied into the old ocean. On his arrival
in Savannah, Lieut. Crutchfield’s company
wass’nt to CanHton’s Hluff* and he was soon
after placed in charge of a picket line
along the low, marshy banks of Augustine
creek. When the men “went Into post.”
the tide in the creek was, as the coast peo
ple term it, “at the last of the ebb.” Soon
it ceased flowing down stream and then
the water began to rise with the returning
tide. The up-country pickets had watched
the rising water with alarm. At last
they could stand it no longer and called
for Lieutenant Crutchfield, to whom they
reported that they thought the Yankeesbe-
low were damming the creek and were
doubtless trying to drown out the picket
line. Lieutenant Crutchfield at once re
ported the matter to Adjutant Lester of
the Twenty-fifth Georgia (the congressman
elect from the first district) who was the
adjutant of the post, and that officer
kindly explained to him the fact that in
the river* and crocks on the coast, the tide
ebbed and flowed twice in twenty-four
hours.
Thtt'NMtlonal Flower.
From the IuUlHnnpolIs Journal.
A national flower must be born, not
made, it must spring from circumstances
and events. It cannot be made by pre
amble and resolution. The Scotch thistle,
the Irish sflamrock, the French fleur de
II* and other national flowers had their
origin in historical events or national
characteristics. There is no particular
necessity of our having a national flower,
bat if we ever do have one it will come
spontaneously and unexpected in the way
indicated. If Gen. Lee at Appomatox had
presented Gen. Grant with a four-leaved
clover in token of his surrender, and as a
sign of good luck, it might have made the
clover leaf our national flower. If Abra
ham Lincoln, on his death bed, had shown
his Ia*t sign of consciousness by smiling on
a bunch of violets, that might have made
the violet our national flower. If Gen.
Hberidan, as he thundered down the valley
on his black charger to turn defeat into
victory, had worn a red, red pink in his
buttonhole, the red pink might have be
come our national flower. If we ever have
a national flower it will bloom upon us un
expectedly.

and was postmaster ct Augusta for a long
while.
The Sparks Pioneer says that two
painters, Jones and Deremer, hired Mr. K.
J. McDermid’s horse and buggy with th
ostensible purnoso of going to the place of
Mr. John AS'illiams, who lives about eight
miles from Tifton, to measure the house
previous to ordering the material to paint
it, they having engaged to do the work.
As they did not return Sunday afternoon
Mr. McDermid’s suspicions were aroused
and he started Monday morning in-search
of his team, which he found in the livery
stablo at Tifton, together with an accutnu
lated board-bill lor him topay before they
woflld bo released. Richard Bryant, a
seventeen-yea r-old son ol Rev. W. II. Bry
ant, went off with them.
Last week Mr. J. F. Hill, a prosperous
farmer of Morgan county, left homo, tell
ing his wife that he was going away never
to return, and that she might take the
farm, stock, corn and eight kales ol cotton,
altogether vnlued at about tep thousand
dollars. It la known that he sold before
leaving fifty bales ol cotton, and some sug
gest that he carried with him not less than
five thousand dollars in cash. Before
leaving he went to Madison and paid all
of his accounts. Although he has been
saying for several months that he Intended
leaving home, nu one seemed'to believe
it. He is fifty years of age, has been mar
ried more than twenty years and left a
wife and four chiUren, all daughters,
three of whom are married. He has al
ways been known as a money-making far
mer. The reasons that led him to pursue
this course are yet unknown.
The Outlook for the Sooth.
From the Manufacturer*’ Record.
It icarcely need, a prophet’s foresight to
see that what we have predicted i. even
now already almcst upon us. The signs of
great activity arc too plain not to be seen.
The people of the South are determined
that, while they lost in the political battle,
they arc bound to win in' the struggle for
industrial supremacy. From Virginia to
Texas they are moved by the one great im
pulse to develop their matchlcj. --lourccs,
and thus make the South what it is cer-
t»inly destined to be—the richest country
in the world. They arc not left to them
selves, however, in this work. Northern
men aod Northern capital will ponr into
the South as never before. We see it every
day. All along the line there are great
developments coming, and before this win-

have not carefullj studied the preaent con

industrial activity there will, we think, be
a heavy demand for reil estate, especially
in proKreasive towns.
The Clamor of the Hungry Pack.
From the Cblcajro News.
Here we have a noble senator, by virtue
of the lamented death »f General Login,
proclaiming that he is opposed to the
civil service reform idea. He joics his
voice to the clamor of the hungry pick of
office-seekers, demanding that all demo
crats in office be turned out because they
art* democrats, and to make room f*#r re
publican* because they ate republican*.
No thought of the good of the public
service enters the brain of Senator Fur-
well. To hi* mind an incompetent re
publican i* better fitted to draw of! a por
tion of the federal biirolux, than the most
cofiqtetrnl dem errst that ever exerci*ed
th- right to think and vote according to

“I have mffored for years from a
Bronchial trouble that, whenever 1 take
cold or am exposed to inclement weatli-
cr, allows Itself by a very annoying
tickling sensation in the throat and by
diliictilty in breathing. I have tried a
great many l- un dies, tail mme does so
well as Ayer's Cherry l'cctoral which
always gives prompt relief In returns of
iiiv old complaint."--Ernest A. Ilcjilcr,
Inspector of Public Hoads, Parish Ter

“ I consider Ayer's Cherry Pectoral a
most Important remedy
For Home Use.
I have tested its curative p?’.ver t ix. jay
family, many times during the pa«t
thirty years, and have never known It
to fail. It will relieve the most serious
affections of tho throat and luuga,
whether in children or adults." — .Mr*.

"Twenty years ago I was troubled
with a disease of tho lungs. Doctors
afforded me no relief and eontndered
my case hopele*-. I then began to uso
Ayer’s Cherry pectoral, ami, before I
had finished one bottle, found relief. 1
continued to take this incdicino until a
cure was effected. I believe that Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral saved my life.” —
Samuil Grigg*, Waukegan, Ill.
"Six vears ago I contracted a severe
cold, which settled on my lungs and
fioon developed all the alarming symp
toms of Consumption. I hud a cough,
night sweats, bfeeding of tho lungs,
pains in chest and sides, and was no
prostrated as to be confined to my
bed most of tho time. After trying
various prescriptions, without benefit,
my physician finally determined to give
rao Avar’s Cherry Pectoral. I took it.
and tho effect was magical. I seemed
to rally from tb<* first do*a of this
inedii in* 1 , and, after lining only three
bottleB, am as well and sound as ever."
