Considerable interest is manifested in military circles (says the Pall-Wall Budgel, Lonaon) as o, the sclection-of a successor to the late Marquis of Tweeddale jn the command of the Sccond Life Guards. We use the word *com- mand™ advisedly, for the Colonels of house- lold regiments excreise o certain amount of control over their corps besides epjoying the privilege of appointing their officers from the sulb-licutenants list. These Colonelcies may 1hercfore be csteemed the plums of the pro- fession, und, like Brutus’ staff of cornel wood, contain a wand of still more prescious substance; for they hold the office of Gold Stick, and the threec officers perform its duties in suc- .cession.

A correspondent of the London ZTelcyraph writes: “ The oddities of Belgrade life, normal and abnormal (certain features of the Russian occupation taking a conspicnous place in the latter eategory), would fill a small and singular- 1y diverting volume; but there are serious, even tragical times, during which one hesitates, even under the strongest tcmptation, to lay stress upon, or cven call attention to, the comic as- pects of men and things Servian. Nevertheless, one trifling incident of recent occurrence strikes me as being 50 intrinsically and harmlessly funny that [ canmot forbear narrating it, nearly 28 possible in the words of the person to whom it happened, 8 young Russian of my scquaintance here. This gentleman, having dentanded and received permission to in- spect the citadel, was conducted over the works and the Konek by the Servian commandant, a somewhat stout officer, who, however, when my friend expressed & desire. to ascend to the top of the minaret hard by, from which an ex- tensive view of the surrounding country is commanded, excused himself from accompany- ing ML de 1o that ‘bad eminence,’ but of- icred him a trusty guide, and called up a strap- ping young fetlow 1 a sort of fatigue uniform of drab-colored canvas, whom he instructed to conduct. the Gospoden. Arrived upon the tiny platform, M. de first took in the panorama at his leisure, and then beut bis eyes lownward toward the vlace fronting the Konak, where he noticed several exceptionally fine men, clad in acostune exactly similar vo that worn by his companion. ‘Tell me,’ he ex- claimed, turning to the latter, ‘who may those men be, and to what branch of the service do they belong? ‘Look, Gospodin,’ replied his ruide, ‘that one there is the brother of the Linister ——; Le has twenty years; it is because hie killed his wife. That otber one, the tall vouth with a sweeping mustache, ie will not be fmm s0 Joug. He is the son of Senator —. He ouly killed a man who offended him.” And thus he iwent on with his catalogue. It should bere- membered that my friend, a $light and sowe- what delicate young fellow, was entirely alone with his interlocutor, 2 sinewy giant of truculent aspect, upon @ narrow ledge of stone sixty or seventy fect above the level of the ground. His feelings may be more readily imagined than de- seribed when this gentleman in drab, who bad just revealed himself, by implication, to be a ‘galerigno, wirned to him with ludeous jocularity, aud, slapping Lim amicably on the shoulder, observed in a tone of restrained pride, such as is assumed by modest merit, *Ialso am a twenty- years’ maw, for you sce I, too, have Killed my wife.) My friend rephed; in ss steady a voiceas e could command tor the moment, *That is in- deed very remarkable and interesting. Perhaps 1 am keeping you from your regular avocations? I think, perliaps, we had better go down. When they got to the Jast step of the staircase, theamiable nisogynist turned short around upon M. D—, aud, stretching out_his ‘red right hand,’ ejaculated, ¢ I like thee. Thou art a good man. Let us cordially shake hands.” What was my unfortunate fricnd to do! Lttus mer- ctully drop a veil over the inevitable accolade— thie culminating horror of this tragi-comical, cminently Servian cvisode.” i’ NOBLE WORKERS. The circular which the trebly noble cousin of the Marshal and Marechale Macdahon has dis- tributed in the fashionable quarters of Paris has (says a Paris letter to o London paper) had few parallels since the time of the Revolution. One was afforded by the widow of Gen. Ripert. This lady, reduced to a very slender pension, hiad vainly solicited of Government a pension, and of a rich relation assistance, so she started a tabte d’hote. in the Rue Basse du Rampart, having on the signboard, * Diuners given at three francs a head by Mme. Widow Ripert, gister of M. Thiers, ex-President of the Minls- terid Council.” And exccllent dinners they were. Gen. Ripert’s widow dirceted the cook- ing and aided in the service, At the end, dressed in 2 cgtton gown and muslin cap, and wearing an apron with a pair of pockets, she collected the money due from ber customers, cach of whom she huped was satisfied with vhat she bad set before him. She wasthe height and figare of her illustrious brother. She wore spee- tacles, waddled in walking, had shert, spatular hunds, and was so like lim in face tbat he, dressed in woman's clothes, could have passed for ber-in her own house. The patrons were very sorry when Thiers gave her an annuity to enable kér to retire from business, for she had an administrative genius, and_was one of the best cooks in Paris. Mme. Ia Vicomtesse d’ An- glars de Ja Groy de Castrics, whoso cireular pro- Sents i analogy to Mme. Hiperv’s signboard, is publicly concerned in o servants’ agency. The prospeetus which ehe bas circulated among her peers_amoug the Faubourg St. Germain and clsewhere is addressed to *~Employes, dames et messieurs, concicrges ef domestiques.” 1t thus 52 * Madame (or Monsicur) the Vicomtess d’Aa- glars de la Croy de Castries has the honor of informing you that in conscquence of a recent financlal disaster slie is_obliged to work fora Jivelihood. Accepting this obligation, she lias placed herself at the head of the Blancuesnel Ageucy for affording gratis information to per- suns sccking iurnished or unfurnished suites of apartments. The Vicomt d’Aunglars de Ia Croy de Custries also begs to inform ladies at the heads of domestic establishments that she can procarc for them, at the shortest notice and on sausfactory conditions, maids of all work, cooks, femmes dc chambre, childrea’s maids, nurses, and whatever feminine personnel they may require. While awaiting their orders she has the houorof presenting tham her most gracious civilities, and thanking them by anticipation for their support.

M. THIERS. A Paris letter to the New York Ztmes says: “ M. Thiers has returned to Paris, but is still occupying bimself actisely with diplomacy, fn- viting the forcign representatives to his house in the Place Saint George, and talking to them by the hour about the necessitiesof the moment, M. Thiers, like all the statesmen of his -epoch, is a furious Turk- He foresees and predicts the greatest danger if the Ottoman Empire is dis- membered. This comes from theold idea of the ¢ balance of power,’ which cau never be eradi- cated from the minds of the statesmen of the 1830 period. These evenings with M. Thiers are extremcly interesting, for he is a remarkable talker, He has the faculty of expressing himself flucntly about all he knows, —and he kuows a good deal, and knows Low to throw in little anccdotes and bits of personal expericnce, which charm winle fixing the atten- tion. He 15 & wonderful causeur, aud knows it. 1iis ways of talking whenever ne bas an. audi- ence bas led to a number of stories, onc of them being that ofa practical farmer who was sent for to give M. Thiers the results of his experience. The statesman wanted information about the agricultural state of the couutry, in order to make upa report. The agriculturist arnvea, aud was warmly received. ML Thiers took Dhis favorite place with his back aguinst the mantel, and told the farmer = why he had been sent for, and then launched out futo o discourse mpon_ farming. Ile told him what kind of manure should be used on certain soils, how seeds should be planted, how stock should be treated, and discoursed for an hour in the most admirable manner. Suddenly M. Thiers looked at his watch. “+] am sorry to say,’ be said, ‘that my time isup, but I have had a satisfactory interview, and I shall not fail to embrace your ideas in my n:Pon.’ « The farmer looked up in surprise. 4 Good day,’ continucd M. Thicrs, ‘and allow me to express my thanks for the valuable fn- formation you have given me upon the practical agriculture of the country.’ y “ During the wholc interview the farmer. had not expressed a single opinion, and had only bawed fram tims to time his assent to ibe views M.

But, as T have already remarked, these conversations are wonderfully iulgrcsung‘ ” GRAPE-GATHERING DAMSELS. A Jetter from Turkey to the London Zeegraph says: A prettier sight presently came be- neath my notice, one forming a strong contrast to the heavy, saddening spectacle I hind lately witnessed. I have mentioned the vineyards of, Turkey and Servia. Those of the lust-named country have, wherever we have gone, been very effectually cleared of whatever grapes they boasted, but in Turkey the harvest has now come, and as in the times when Horatius kept the bridge *in the brave doys of old,” so mow the girls of the country bave to gather the vintage. The sircs have had to drive the wagons of grain, forage, and ammunition to the ary; have had to talie back into Nisch the wounded soldiers who have fallen in the fight; have been told off to bury thedead out of the sight of the living, and aid in moving the tents and material of the army. Thus to these young maidens has been intrusted the task of gathering in the whent and barley, and to them also has fallen the labor of bringing in the grapes. 1 suppose that cven in better times this has been their work, for the harvest of the vineyard has many a pretty custom connected withi it which surcly cannot be the outgrowth of a devastating war. It is when the grapes are purple or transparent that the Bulgariau damsel doms a new attire, piaits her hair with gaudy ribbons, astens to her head-drcss picces of gold if she be. vich. or copper ifp she be poorer, nnd sallics forth to pluck the rich fruit. Wemct a lictle procession of these youthful dames going out: to the vinc- vard on our way to Nisch. Scated in the rough wagons of -the couutry, with baskets on their arms, gay in_their bright dresses, and radiant with smiles, they were being drawn by bullocks, ‘which, being lazily attended by boyish drivers, rolled to the one side and gheto the other of the rongh, badly-made road. very now and then onc of the party would break” out into suatches of song, and then there would bea peal of laughter, so careless were, they of the passing hour. 'To one just fresh from the hor- yors of war it was strauge to sce such merriment 50 close to so much devastation and misery.” [’v:\'c him credit LUNCH ON RECEPTION-DAY. The Countess de Bassonville has published a book entitled the Almanach du Savoir-TFivre. According to this work, the mysteries of. dinner arg simple by comparison with the rules impos- ed upon one who is rasn enough to entertain a shooting party in the country. A cold break- fast inust Le provided for the guests at about 7 o'clocks in the;morning; it will consist of ham, some rofi used the day - before, DBor- deaux wine, and tea and coffee. There will be no cercmony observed; every guest will take what he likes, and souie will sit while others stand. This breakfast, it scems, supports the sportsmen till supper time, when they will Be fed with good and nourishing meat, accompanied with excellent Burgundy or Bor- deaux, But they must have no champagne.

Further on the disciple 1¢arns that of late fashionable women in Paris have taken to lunch, not after the gor- mandizing fashion of English women, but atter the French manner, which makes of it *une elegance nouvelle.” At the best houses one finds om reception days the salon garnished with such things as galan- tine with truilles, lobster mavonnaisc, sand- wiches of foie rrras, and every conceivable kind of “chatterie” in the way of cating; things which, no donbt, are ethereal compared to the gross fooa aflected by English women at lunch.

SUBURBAN. P EVANSTON. THE BANNER TOWN. Whatever may be the outcome of the Presi- dential clection, Evanston feels that it has done its whole duty, and can fairly claim to be the sthanner town.” Out of a total vote of 74y in Evanston proper, the Republican ticket received over 600, which was doing pretty well, to say the least. Evanston also claims to have furnished the State with an excellent Licutenant Governor and an able member of the Legislature. The large increase in the total vote shows that the town is constantly erowing, despite the “ hard times,” and the largely-increased Republican vote will entitle it to more delegates in future conventions. Of course, the citizens have shared with those of the entirc country the anxiety to learn the outcome of Tuesday’s clections, and the depot has been crowded every cvenitg with anxious seekers after definite néws. CHARLES DUTTON. Mow that public mention has been made of the difficulty between Mr. Ormsby and Mr. Dutton, and charges which may blast forever the reputation of 2 worthy gentleman have be- come 2 matter of public notoriety, it is but fair 1o state that the charges affecting Mr. Dutton’s integrity, as has been kuown for some time, have been under investigation by a committee of the Congregational Chiurch for a mouth past. The Committec has cxamined the books of Messrs. Ormsby & Co., and interrogated ihose sequainted with the facts, but has failed to elicit any testimony which involves Mr. Dutton in any scrious irregularity. Mr. Arms- by, however, did not ueree with that view of the case, and instituted legal - proceedings against Mr. Dutton for embezzlement while acting as his cashier and bookkeeper, placing his loss at. $4,000. The accused was brought before Justice Meech, in this city, and_gave bail for Lis ap- pearauce, several prominent members of the Congregational Church signing his bond. The whole affair is greatly to be regretted, and, under all the circuinstinées, the public arc not ready to believe that Mr. Dutton Las com- mitted nnf’ crime, and ecarnestly hope that he c, will e able, as his friends claim, to demonstrate ‘his innocence.

For some tine the Town Board have been im- portuned to lay a sidewalk on Fifty-fifth street (Parkway Pavilion). This being & Park boule- vard, the Board have no authority in the matter. The communications were sent to the South Parke Commissioners, but for a long time they bave remained unhceded, At last the Board sent word to the Commissioners that they should recommend the people not' to pay the park special taxes unless their request was complied with. This had the desired cffect, and the Com- missioners promise to improve the boulevard this full from State strect to'Stewart avenuc after the manuer of the Grand boulevard. As an carnest of their intentions, they bave already commenced work. The park fmprovements in this town have been sadly neglected for the last two years,and the taxpayers should insist that a fair lrruponmn of the improvements each year should be made in this town. ‘I'he Lake Shore & Mithizan Southern and Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroads have just finished o Indies’ waiting-room in their de- pot at Englewood.

Siaell, the contractor for the carpenter worls, for the faithful discharge of theirrespective obli- gations in the work of erccling the Filty-first street School-house. | Mr. Alloway recommended that the frame school-house now in process of transfer from the corner of Fifty-first and School streets be located at the corner of Fifty-first and Halsted strects. The matter was left in the hands of the Building Committee, with power to act. On motion it was decided to discontinue the cxpense of publishing the proceedings of the Board meetings in the Sun. Miss Frances Bucklien was transferred from the Forty-seventh street school to the Fifty-lirst street school, to supply temporary service at the latter place.

Woodbury, are cniitled to much credit {or the very plcnsin% programme which they ar- ranged. The Rey. I. G.Thearle prescnted the ladies’ purse, and Dr. C. H. Lovewell presented the pill-box, the contents of which were to be used at the discretion of the reciplent. Miss Jessie Couthrouireated “The Relief of Luck- now” and “The Tax on Bachelors.” A num- berof songsand choruses were sung by the church choir and volunteer soloists. The pastor said, in reply to the presentation, that he felt it was good to be there; his relations with his congre- gation had been very pleasant, and he thanked them very much for their remembrance of him- self and family, all of whomn were provided for in some way by a token of thelr esteem. This evening’s catértainment was closed by a num- ber of tableaus. Thursday evening the ladies of the Methodist Episcopal Church give an apple festival at the church, which promises to be a happy affuir. Apples are to be served up in every conceivable ‘manner. 3 . OAE PARE. JOTTINGS OF THE WEEE. The ladies of the Methodist Society met Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Tasher for an old-fashioned quilting party. About twenty ladies were present, and a merry time they had quilting and preparing for the coming fair. At 6 o’clock the respective hus- Vands made their appearance, and an old-timed tea-drinking followed. The young people gath- ered in the evening, making the house ring with cnjoyment as they partook of apples, pop-corn, and other good things. Friday cvehing the musical social met at the residence of Mr. Mayo in Elizabeth court. A cultivated’and appreciative audience assembled. Although a few of the members were absent, those who were present performed their several parts so well that the cntertainment proved satisfactory 1n cvery respect. An_ instrumental Quet by Mrs. Rodgers and Miss Lyons was the first on the prograinme. A piana solu by Mrs, Wood was finely exceuted. A vocal solo, ‘ Castles in’ the Air,” by Miss Carrie Lyons was artistically rendered. A sclect reading by Miss Kate Davise formed a pleasing feature in the entertainment. This was followed by o vocal duet by Miss Mary Case and Miss Carric Lyons, which was ‘beautifully sung and favorably received. A pianu. solo by Miss Shipman, of Chicago, and an original reci- tdtion by Fugenc Hall. Refreshments were served by the hostess, and at 10 o’zlock the com- pany dispersed, Wishing the social would meet at Mr. Mayo's soon again, The Rev. Mr. Blackburn, the latcly-oppointed pastor of the Baptist Church, recefved from nis flock the right hand of fellowship Sunduy evening.

A regalar meeting of the Village Board of Trustees was held Wednesday cvening last, President Sherwin in the chair. After the minutes of the preceding meeting were read and epproved, the Committee previously appointed to examine the grading of Talcott avenue re- ported that the worl bad been done by thecon- tractor, Mr. Hurlstone, agreeably to his contract. On motfon, the contractor and his bondsmen were discharged. The petition of Mr. Hawley and others to postpone bullding a sidewaik on the south side of Park avenue, until spring, was granted. 2 Thc petition of J. T.

Miss Josle Dunn has been soliciting funds the past week for that purposc, and thus far has met with tifying success.

Bnrfln%ton claims to be the banner Republican town of the county. LAKE FOREST. The Presidential election is tho absorbing topic of_conversation here, as cverywhere else. Lake Forest was Prof. Emil Leibling's home for many years before he went abroad, and when it was announced that he would give a piano recital at the Academy Thurs- day ecvenlng Dis_old friends, neighbors, and patrons were delizhted to have the oppor- tunity of judging for themselves of nis Szogress since” he ‘left them two years ago. Judging by the enthusiastic applausé and cncores that he received, they were more than satisfied. Prof. Leibling was assisted by Mr. Willlam Leywls, the violinjgt. Miss Barnum, a young lady of whom Lake Forest is justly proud, sang ‘‘Spring Song” and My Heart Is Thy Home,”sand anotber charming song in responseto an encore. Cnpt, Sabin also sang o beautifnl tenor solo, “Yarting,” which brought down the house. ‘The Literary Club met at Mrs. William War- ren’s Friday evening, and, with music, select reading, and social cliat, spent adelightful even- ing. Ono resident of Lake Forest voted for Presi- dent tho seventeenth time. Of course he voted for Hayes and Wheeler. HUYDE PARE. The police investization ended ycsterday afternoon, the man Love swearing that he did | not iell C. M. Hardy that the policeman did anything® contrary to: morality. Mr. Hardy swore that he was told by Mr. Love that Love bad scen the doings which were stated in THE TrIBUNE a few days ago. Seven witnesses from South Chicago were sworn, and stated that they would not believe Love under oath. Thus ends the charges against the police, and .they are clearly vindicated. President DBenslcy con- ducted the examination and acted as ques- tioner. ‘The Rev, Mr. Curran has as yet not replied to the letter of .the Trustecs of St. Paul's Church, but a mxffly is expected. The pulpits will be occupied as usual to-day. The plans and s})uciflmuons, with the report of the committee for computing the cost, ot the Forty-first_strcet sewer, have been made, and are at the Town-Hall.

Arrival of the Old Chap at St. Thomas— Tweed's Ship—Interesting Account of the United States Steamer Franklin. 1IavaNA, Nov. 11.—The steamer from St. Thomas has arrived, bringing advices to the 6th fost. Onthe 5th, the United States frigate Franklin arrived at St. Thomas from Vigo with William M. Tweed on board. Althouzh the voyage had been tempestuous, Tweed was in ex- cellent bealth. The Franklin ran short of coal, and was com- pelled to stop at St. Thomas to replenish. The Franklin seiled for New York on the 8th inst. The probabilities arc that the voyage to New York will take about five days. 4 5 7o the Editor of The Tribune. GRAND Rapps, Mich., Nov. 10.—The rcport- cd disaster to the United States steamer Frank- lin will, no doubt, mive renewed currency toa statement made in seyeral journalsthe past few days, that the Frauklin is one of the oldest ves- sels in our navy, and not very seaworthy. This must be based upon a misapprchension that she is the old and original sailing frigate Franklin, which was built filty or sixty vears ago, and | g, wh(d; Iremember thirty ycars ago as an old vessel. Having been 80 conuected with our navy as to bave a knowlcdge of all but its recently-built vessels, L can assure you such is not the fact. Soon after the close of our late War, the Navy Department thought it advisable to have a first- class wman-of-war afloat, ‘“”f’ ship-rizged, with auxiliary steam-screw propulsion. Bt to build a new vessel required an aet and appropriation ither Congress was unwilling to make such appropriation, .or the Department was unwilling to ask for it; I do not know how that was. I cither case, the Navy Department found it had sullicicnt means, in the fund for re- building aud repairs, actually to duild such a ship as it desired, under its own authority to re- build avd repair. But, in order to do this within the limits of its {:mscribed discretionary powers for rebuilding old vessels, some material of some ship already” afloat must be utilized in the work. cordingly the old frizate Frank- lin was taken to picces, at the Portsmouth Navy-Yard, carly in 1866, Her keclson and a as when they were first placed in her frame. These timbers were accepted by the Naval Con- structor of that yard to coostitute the busis for “rebuilding ™ fhe Franklin. Necessarily the new vessel—for so she was in fact—must bear the same name, in order to be considered a rebuilt ship. The timber spoken of, and perbaps a few pieces of cabin-furniture, arcall the material in the Franklin now afloat that entered into the con- struction of the old suiling frigate of the same name. She was “rcbum,"’ with excellent en- gines and screw for auxiliary propulsion, as stout and scaworthy 2 ship as modern uaval architeeture can produce,—the work being done by the Government mechanics, aud mnot, of course, by contract. She lay in Boston Harhor {e August, 1567, 2 week or “two, having been then recently launched, and awaiting orders to gafl for Europe as flaz-ship of the European squadron, of which Admiral Farragut wasabout to take command. The Admiral was on board; and he told me whatever I did not know artr.fiu way she had been * rebuist,” as bere nar- rated. 1t must not be Inferred that there was any dcge?tlun, or anything unwarranted or very un- usital, in the procedure which thus produced one of the noblest and best ships now belonging to our Government, or to any other. It secng incredible that she’can have become unsea- worthy in these ten years, and it would require explanation from some high authority to make any sailor believe it. Avros CmiLp. ———————— The Disposal of Church Property in Italy. The Italian official journal publishes a state- ment of the amount of eales of ccclesiastical property since the year 1867, or from the time that the law was passcd turning such property to public uses. For the whole period up to the end of 1875, the amount of jucome derived from sales was 503,358,000 francs, and the number of lots or parcels of property was 114,693, The sum at which the whole was estimated by the Governmeat was 302,633,000 francs, and the difference represents the higher rates received in bids at the public sale.” Up to the end of September, the present ycar, the whole num- ber of lots sold was 118,559, and the gross sum received 514,118,000 franes, on u Government estimate of 39‘5,6(2000 francs. The regular monthly sales continue, ranging from™ 500 to 1.000 lots, bringing in frow 800,000to a willion of francs. Thereis a good deal more to be disposed of, and theee houses and lands are gro\'ing 10 be a mineof no nconsiderable wealth, Lere is the added advantsge in the improve- ments that are immediately made, .as the prop- erty passes iuto private hands, with an increase in the general wealth.

Now, it happens ibat the antique mantel over the ilbmry iireplace in the castle aforesaid holds, or did hold, a plaster Dbust of Calvin, upon whose classical features some saerilegious hand (whether Twain’s or not we are unable to say) had penciled a twirled mustache and goatee. 4 Alter gazing around the oddly-arranged room the eyes of the reverend gentleman rested upon the Calvinistic plaster. At first he could hardly realize the fact, but linally comprchending the ‘affafr!.in its fulness his indignation became un- bounded: With one blow of his cane he shat- tered mustache, goatee, and bust, scatterng its diust. over the apartment in the greatest profu- sion. Mr. Clemens, who came in shortly after, upon viewing the remains, slowly remarked that it was a pretty rouzh handling of Calvin, but was possibly, all things considercd, the appropriate thing to do. ————————— Mme. de Z. broke friends with the Comte de G., who cndeavored to console himself as well as he might for the misfortune. recently, conceay, rallied him on it. * What,” she said, She met him d, with o bitterness she could mot “threc desperate flirtations in ome month?” «What would you?” he answered with a sigh; ] could get nothing of your denomination, and s0.had to take small "change.” PERSCNAL.
