BAR ASSOCIATION. Announcement of Standing Com- mittees for the Year. - Discussion of the Amendments to the - Jobn P. Wilton. Appellate Court Act. The Bar Association beld a special meeting yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock to dispatch fome extra busiuess. Just before the mecting the managers held 2 meeting and elected Gen. 1. N. Stiles Chairman. They then voted to offer the vse of the rooms. of the Association to Proctor Knott’s fuvestization committee. The meeting of the Association was very thinly attended, the main business being to con- gider the bill introduced at the last regular meeting to amend the Appellate Court act. r. W. I Kine occupied the chair, and an- ‘pounced the following STANDING COMMITTERS FOR THE YEAR: Amendment of the Law—H, G. Miller, Elliott Antlwn_\'; J. B. Bradwell, H. B. Hurd, and Will- Vocke. “?ndlciury—\lexander McCoy, C. M, Maray, Thomas Dent, John Lyle Ring, and J. C. Barker. Grievances—J. L. ‘Thompson, George L. Pad- docx. F. 1. Kales, Fred Ullman, and George A. soee. ] Edocstion—J. C. Richberg, J. I. Ben- aoms M. Hoyze, W. J. Englsh, and J.R. Corning Judd, F.W. Packard, and ‘Tnoui Mr. W. P. Black, the Chairman of the Com- mittee to which was referred the matter of con- sidering some changes to be made in THE APPELLATE COURT ACT, eubmitted areport. In this the Committee ad- yised that Sec. 2 ot the act be amended so as o - read as follows: “The terme of eaid Appeilate Courts shall be be- gun and held 10 the severn districts as follows: Tu the First District at the City of Chicago on the Sret Tuesdays in February and QOctover of each ear. 1n the Second District at Ottawa. in Lasalle Tounts, on the turd Tuesdays in June and Decem ber of each year. In the Third District at Spring= sield, on the third Tuesdays uf May and Novemoer ineschyear. In the Fourth District at Mt. Ver- Zom, on the first Tuesdays of February sud Jaly in eaca year. 5 The amendment was adopted with little dis- cussion by the meeting. "The Committee then recommended that Sce. 17 of the same act be amended 50 as to read as follows: Src. 17. In case the judzment, order, or decres from which an appeal or writ of error may have becn prosecuted shall be aftirmed by the Appellate Court, such Court shall make an order atirming {he sume; and in case such juogment, order, or aecree saall be reversed and the canse remanded to 1he Court from which such appeal or writ of error shall be prosccuted, for a new trisl tnerein, enid Appeliate Court shall state briefly in writing the ‘feaxons for such afirmance or seversal and dle the same insaid canse. CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION {ollowed on this amendment. - - Mr. Georze Herbert moved that after the word * reversed,” the words “ wholly or in pars * be inserted. b 4ir. J. L. Kinz moved to strike out the words, < atlirmance cr reversal ” in the Jast line. After more talk and some voing the original amendment was passed with the addition of the words recommended by Mr. Herbert. ‘The mecting then Went on to consider the recommendation of the Committee on Amend- ment of the Law that Sce. 85 of Chap. 110 of the Revised Statutes of 1874 be amended as tol- lows: Sec. 85. A writ of error sball not be brought atter the expiration of 1wo years from the rendi- ton of the decree or juogment complained of, protided, that us to sil decrees and judgments Tendered prior to the let day of July, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sev nine, such wnt wmay be brought at any lime Wwithin 1wo vears from suid date, xnd within five years from the date of tne_entry thereof; and_protided, further, that when any party inaking himseif aggrieved by any decree or judfment that may be reversed in the Supreme Court, or the Appellate Court, ehall be 2u ininpl, %0A compos mientis, or nnder ourcss, when the same was entered. the time of snch dis- ability shall be excluded from tae computation of the sard five years. After a little discussion, the section was adopted us introduced, with’ the exception that the word *‘two™ was substituted in place of ¢five™ in the last line. This section was intro- duced aud voted ou to use upa little time, as it was found that part of the amendments to be introduced had besn left at the printers’. The meeting then weat on to consider the REMAINDER OF THE AMENDMENTS to the Appellate Court act. The next amend- ment introduced was one to aunul Sec, 8 of the act to establish Appellate Courts, so as to de- fine the jurisdiction of the Court, and to in- crease the exclusive jorisdiction from $1,000 to $1,500, Jir. High moved t> amend by eiviog the Ap- pellate Court exclusive jurisdiction in all cases excenr where the Court shall certify that the questions involved were of sufficient importance 1t be taken up. He said he did not expect the law to pass, because the country lawyers would defeat it, but perbaps the Bar might get half thev asked for. AMr. Herbert asked what should be dome with the Supreme Court. Mr. Higb replied tbat they would still bave some uscs, and would serve to adorn the legat brofession, being 2 body of benevolent otd gen- tlemen. But be wished to make the Appecllate Court substantially another Supreme Court. Mr. Grant thougbt the present bill practically accomplished the desirea object of religring the Supreme Court, for out of 285 cases Laken to the Appellate Court only twenty-two had gone to the Suoreme Court. Ar. Moses gave some interestiog information s to the business of the Appellate Court in this —the First—district, by which it appeared the Court bad had docneted with them 255 cases. Kumber reversed and remanded, 96; number afiirmed, 135; under advisement, 51; appealed tothe Supreme Court, 22 Number in which the amount in_controversy is $1.000 and over, 125. . Number of chancery cases, 48, of which 18 have been aflirmed and 18 reversed, leaving 17 under advisement. 3 Mr. High’s amendment was then voted on, and lost. About an hour’s desnltory discussion was in- duized in by tbe members, each of whom had some amendments to offer, but at the close the amendment as proposed was adopted without o change. The general grift of the fecling seemed to be in favor of enfargine the scope and powers of the Appellate Court, 50 as to give it more dignity and weight, aund so as to make its decisions precedents. like those of the Supreme Court of New York. The members. amd especially those who had bad Buy experience in the intricate workings of the Legislature, however, felt the utter impossivility of inducing the country law- Yers in the Legislature to sacrifice their own personal interests by cutting off their privileze Ot carrying cases through the Supreme Court, whether large or small. By the time the amendments to the Appellate Court act had all been passed on it was quite late, and the members were rather tired of the performance. The amendments to Secs. 70, 72, 83, and 90 of the Practice act were then called um, but no ‘one seemed to take any interest, ond, on motion, the whole Jist of amendments ¥as adopted wholesale, without a dissenting Voice, and the meeting adjourned. —————— Previous Attachments.

MILWAKK & DUBUQUE. Snecial Dispatch to The Tribuite. MrLwaukeE, Jan. 18.—The anunal meeting of the Milwaukee & Dubuque Railway Compauy took place to-day at tne office of H. M. Benja- min. The choice of Directors resuited as fol- low: Three years—H. M. Benjamin, of Milwaunkee; William T. Dalrymple, of Pittsfield, Pa.; Oliver Dalrymple, of St. Paul, Minn. Two years—Judge William P. Acocks, of Pittsfield, Pa.; Noak H. Dalrymple, of Sugar Grove, Pa.; Leonard Trimborn, of Milwaukee. One year—The Hon. L. F. Watson, of Wur- reo, Pa; C. W. Smith, of East Troy, Wis.; Martin ¥ield, of Mukwonago, Wi The Board of Directors elected the following oflicers: President—Tlenry M. Benjamin. Vice-President—Oliver Dairymple, General Manager—William F, Dalrymple. - This corboration has maintained a nominal ex- istence for the past four years. Receutly prom- ineut Eastern and Western capitalists have be- come interested in the enterprise, and the out- look now is 1avorable for an early beginning of the work of construction. The Compiny owns the road-bed of the old Mitwaukee & Beloit Railroad, in which the city swamped a cool §100,000 with accrued interest. This road- bed is compleied to a point beyoud Eust Troy, thirty-five miles southwest of Milwaukee, and in euch a state of preservation that it can be put in shape for the ties and ironingata small expenditure per mile. Thus, should it be - determined to commence operations in the |- sprinir, the road can be completed for traffic to Eust Troy by eariy fall. _From that point ic _will be built to Dubuque. by easy’stages. It is also contemplated to build a spur southward to tue Iilinois coal-fields, io order to supply the Milwaukee manufacturing establishments at a lower pricc than they are now compelled to pay. The line of the proposed road passes through a rich agricultural reeion, and can be operated ata profit from the date of comple- tion. As originally planned, the road was to be a parrow-gauge, but now it is altogether hikely that the ordivary gauge will be adopted. The intention is to make a city termivus in the Menomonee Valley, and dock-room is already bespoxén along the line of the South Meunomo- nee Caval. FOREIGN THROUGII RATES. The action of the ““Righ Joints at their late meeting in New York regarding the rail and ocean-steamer rates is not likely to bring about any beneficial result, and it is generally admit- ted that it will be impossible to make uniform rail and ocean rates as long as the steamers are compelled to make reguiar trips,and needa certain amount of freight’for ballast. The agreement made &t w York is to the effect that the through rail and ocean-steamer rates should be the same by all the seaports, and equal to the New York rates by freight steamer, ‘lus the railroad rate to New York, the steamer rate to be reported daily in order to give the basis for tbe through rate. Thus, if the steamer rate on flour from New York to Liverpool should be 2 6d, or 6 cents, per barrel Feb. 1, then tbe rate from Chicazo to Liverpool that day will be $1.30 by Portland, Boston, New York, Phila- detphia, or Baltinore, as the Chicago-New York rate is now 70 cents a barrel. Should, then, the steamer rate from_Baltimore to Liverpool be the same as from New York that day. the rail- road will reccive 70 cents per barre] on that flour Instead of G cents, as on consignments to” Baltimore. And should the steamer rate from Bostou be the same as from New York that day, the rail-rate to Boston will be 70 cents in- stead of 80 cents. Thisis an effort by the rail- road companies o neutralize the differences in rates that may be caused by the comvetition of the steamers ‘at the different ports,—a comne- tition which iu will, donbtless, not be possible 10 prevent. The fai'roud Gazette, in commenting on this matter, says the complaint usunlly is that the steawers carry to_and from other places for much lower rates than from New York, often not peing able to gt cargoes otberwiss is. probably, could be left to regutdte itself were if not that it gives occasion for cuts in ‘the rail rates, which are frequently much greater than those in the steamer rates. The steamer rates might safely be left to resulnte themselves, be- cause the steamers can abandon aun unprotitable rate at will, and in tae long run they will not go to the port which yields them less profi than the average, while the railroad unfortunately cannot change its_termivus from Halifax to New York or from Baitimore to Boston. THE ST.

'Why Europe Is Honoring the Ex-President of the United Stales. London Daily News. ‘Within the last year or two Ireland has had many distinguished visitors. The interest at- tachiug to Gen. Grant has nothing in common with that excited by the sojourn among us of the Emperor of Brazil and the heir of all the Hapsburgs. The Geueral is not, like Mr. Gladstone, a preat orator,—in- decd, taciturnity is one of his most noted char- acteristies. Sprung from a plain middle-class family, his Dame conjures up none of the thou- sand recollections which are awakened in the mind of the student of history by those of Hapsburg and Braganza. Awd yet as this man passed throuzh Europe he was received with honors such as never bave been paid to Rogalty itsedf. Upon nim were lavished at ouce the courtesies of Courts and the enthusiasm of the peoples. The secret of the Geep interest which Gen. Grant’s visit to Enropey evoked I8 an open one. Admiration for military success still remains one of the dominant passions of mankind, and Ulysses Grani’s name is inscribed i the roll of the world’s great Captains, At o time when viclors was crowning the brow of the Shve Confederacys; at a time when even the North itself dcssalrcd of success; at 2 time when events had wrung from the lips of Mr. Glad- stone the famous exclamation, *‘Jefferson Davis has wade a nation,”—at this time the wise choice of Abrabam Lincoln gave Ulysses Graot the cbief command of the armics of the United States. . In an’ instant the face of the conflict was changed, the young General rained upon the Souta blow after blow, auick acd crushing, as though he wielded the hamrmer of Thor, untilin the end his dogged valor was rewarded by the crowning triumph on that memorable day when he rode a conguerer through the blazine streets of Richmond, the [llum of the West. Butitis not as a mere soldier that Gen. Grant has been received with such honors in Lurope. His highest clahn rests upon the fact that he has held a sceptre, very new, in- deed, but still more splendid than uny eser wielded by the Kings of the Old Worid. We say with all respect to Gen. Girant that any honors that have been paid, or will be paid him, arc paid not to the individual, but to the mighty nation he has ruled over, and whose representa- tive be in Some sense is. During bis Presidency be did some acts which caused the just resent- ment of our bretiren in Americu; but this is not the time for discussinyg these matters. Tue compliment which the Dublin’ muniei- pality yesterday determined to offer him is a compliment to the United States ol America, and no Irishman wortk:y of the name but will joiu in such a tribute. "A thousand wolden ties of sympatay and affection umte the otd jand we dwell in and the young naton Gen. Grant nas ruled. An English orator has in glavane sentences told how. as the Israclitc turns to Jerusalem and the Moliammedan 1o Mecea * the Irisn peasant, when he asks for food and free- dom and blessings, bis eyes follow the setring sun, the aspiration of his beart reaclies beyond the wide Atlantic, and in spirit be grasps hands with the great l'itcpublic of the West.” The first of American puets has claimed as the chief glory of his country that— Her free latch-sinng never was drawn in Against the poorest child of Adam's kin. Of that boundless hosbitality Ireland has en- joved her full share, and she never can forget how millions of her children, fiying from their sufferiug pative land, were received with open arms by the Republic; werenccorded every right anaq franchise of citizenship, 2ud found ia cities and plains of the Union bapdy homes avd altars free.

The roll on which the free Municipality of Dublin proposes toinscribe the pame of Gen. Grant is a brief one. It aiready contains valy two names. Tue first is that of the disting Irishman who won for Irish munizipalities the privilege by which such aroll exists.

Typographic Blunders. Springiield (3fass.) Republican. A great many coluwus have been written con- cerning typographic errors, and many of the in- stances sound 50 Wwitty or so stupid that it secms as if they must be rather juventions than actual bappenings. But we never saw une cited s0 uplikely ‘that we couldn’t remember its match. Once we wrote that it was “like evoking the shadow of a shade® to quote forgotten writers. The phrase appeared in print _thus: *“Like cooking the shadow of & shad.” The printer had, in burlesquing the seatiment, actuaily preserved ayd intensiticd it in a most striking image of unsuvsten- tiality, At another time we had quoted the proverbial opinion of Rosalind, “ Men have aied and worms have eaten them—bat not for love.” ‘The printer may have been a misorynist; at all events he substituted “women” for **worms.” There are Shakspearean coicudations ot much better than that, perhaps. Inoneof the country weeklies there was recently au account oi the presentation to some one of a Bible **bound m ‘guilt.’” 1o a discussion one spoke of “the divine totality ot being3” it was reported as Sthe sublime brutality of feeling.” This may have been the reporter’s error; but not to when a Methodist_College Presideut spoke of sin as “n dark, guilty, damuing fact,” aud found it published as *a dark, quictly dawning fact ;" and,describing the death ot Jesusas * ious,” saw it in print ‘‘vivacious.” This wa: avery religious paper; and sustner into an eloquent hywmn admitted this questionabletemperance sen~ timent, * Ipraise The stiil.” Somctimes these things are so funuy thst the writer can’t be as avary as he would like, but still that Virziman cditor must have been * hopping mad > “when his powerful leader wound up with * Courage, tillers of the jand! and forget, in the excitement of politics, your pantry and your uursery!? fle had written * poverty”’ and’ “‘misery.” And how must Astronomer Proctor have felt wnen, having written ‘- lines, bands, and stri near the violet end of the specetra,” he was represented as seelag “ links, ponds, and stripes for the violent kind of spectres 2 Perhayps as it he had bud & peep into a spiritual lunatic_asylum,— Which must be_necessary cnough, if Lhe me ums have got the rights of it, to store Diak- kas in. ———— A Clergyman Ents Up the Prince of Wales' Supper-. London World. i At a ball given recently in honor of the Prince of Wales, a small table in an_alcove was re- served at supper fur his Royal Higbness and bis intimates. The ball was at its higbt: the Priace led one of his partuers to the table, followed by some of the most aistinguished guests. Two chairs, however, remained unoccupied. A heated ‘parson, supporting a still more heated partner, descried the vacant places, and imwmediately swooped down upon them. In vain the cour- tiers hodded, winked, and beckoned; his Rever- ence meant supper, and was not to be acnied. At last Lord Charles Beresford, always fertile in resource, dropped on to his knees, and. crawl- ing under the table, pulled the parson by the leg. It wasof noavail; the Revercud gentle- man merely kicked out, sud continued his at- tack on the good things intended for Royalty. e ———— William E.

COMIC PAPERS OF GERMANY. - Berlin Correspondence Manchester Guardian, The Kladderadatsch must now be some thirty years old. 1t was founded by a eroup of clever young wmen, {resh from their university studies, who, on sitting one eveniog over their beer and tobacco, hit upon the idea of a politico-satirical periodical. Oge of the youths had talent with the penctl, and undertook the pictoriat part, and another could write doggerel, and he accepted the poetical column; a third could imitate the street dialects, and his part was thus suggested; while the fourth, who bad some means, became the publisher and business manager. All of the men were codowed with a caustic wit, were Radical in politics, and absolutely” without any respect for versons. ‘The venture proved an’ astonishing suceess almost from the first, The original pub. lishor dicd o rich man, and_the colicagucs have, T believe, all acquired n resnectable competency simply from the profits of their shares in this hazardous enterorise. With srowing age and assured charachter the K adderadatich has bee come a shade more conservative fn polities, has taken more to lashing the foreign foes of Ger- many than the home cnemics of freedom ard Liberalism, but it has lost none of the savage- ness of its wit, andhas dismissed noue of the pe sonages or_types which flrst zave a peculiarity to its pawes: “ The vetesan Philistines, Schultze and Miller, still hold their coffee-house dia- lozue every week; aud the well-knownsBarons Prudelwitz and Strudelwitz write from time to time their characteristic letiera Kladderadatech nas its antipathics, lke more_serious journals, It is never tired of ridiculing Prince Lulu, Count Reust, Lord Beaconsfield, the Count of ' Cham- bord, tie Pope, and lesser victims at home. 1t is exclusively satirical, aud almost esctusively political, ignoring society and the humorous side of life, and exacting from its readers no little scholarship and culture, since they may be called on at any time to apply un epigram of Martial or a line in Aristophancs to Windthorst. The illustrations are excerable in an artistic sense, but otherwise serve their purpose. Scholtz, the artist, can do good worlk; but it suits his purpose in Aladderadatsch 1o make his vietims odious, ot only by the ruthlessness of the sutire, but also by the wretciedness of the drawing, and Ire suceeeds in both. ‘The success of Kladderadatsch made it neces- sarily o model for its younger rivals, while its style was also the on¢ most acceptable to the Berlin taste. But between the other two, Wespen and Ulk, there is a_vast difference. Uk has some fairly good caricatures, and it is supported by a pr nus and eperactic daily, but it never has acauired the individuality or popularity of Wespen, which, uader the conduct of Julius Stettenheim, is fast becoming a dangerous com- petitor of the older paper. The specialties of the Wespen are the burlesque Parliamentary re- ports, which it learned from Punch; the special correspondence of ** Wippehen,” and the inter- views of its own “reptile.”” All of these, { be- lieve, are done by the prolific Stettenheim. Al of them, too, arc caricatures of modern jour- nalistic metkods, and ¢ Wipochen," at least, has become one of the best-known characters in Ger- many. ‘Fhe Wespen plays a good deal with poli- tics, like its older prototype, but in amore 2ood- patured way, so that the reader sometimes {augns, which he seldom does with Aladdera- datsch. ‘The influence which these three publications have upon Berlin life and opinions is so great that the semi-oflicial and Conservative press has more than once invoked all the natural and supernatural powers Lo counteract it. It is said that they are hostile to serious thought, und they are certainly nostile to Conservative thought. Itis complained thet they teach the public to turn every political question to ridi- cule, and encourage people to believe that everything can be settled by apun or a bon mot; and this also is a charze which is not wholly groundiess. And yet it would be an error to say that Aladderadalsch is a frivolous Jjournat, siven exclusively to persiflage. It ridicules shams as Boileau did; it movks like Voltaire, but its ridicule and its mockery are in the wervice of very pronounced potitical opinions, which do nos happen to De those of the present Government. Aund if I mignt ven- ture a paradox, 1should say that Aiadderadatsch is possible and successful, not because the peo- ple have g0 much, but because they have so lit- tle esprit. If esprit were a natjonal eift, and the love of humor iusatiable, the recular dailies would not be so preternaturally dull and heavy; their columas would be sprightly, fresh, and eu- tertaining, and the people who do enjoy a little healthy trifling would find it in their regular party argans, without searchivg elsewhere. But since some inscrutable prejudice forbids the dai- lies to rise above a solemn didactic toue, the field of wit and humor-is exclusively re- served for special periodicals. The nary reader finds the division of industry extended, thercfore, to this phase of journalism. He reads the serious dailies for the telegraphic dispatches, for the lithographic correspondence from London and Rio de Jauciro, and for the interminabdle leaders on the politics of the day; snd then for au auti- dote, takes Wespen or Kladderudalsch. 'Lhere is, therefore, an essential difference betiween the relations- ot the two classes of periodicals in Germany and the relations between, say, the Times and Punch. Mr. Bell turns from the Times to Punch in order to get relief from poli- ties and to enjoy social and other earicatures excellently dong, but the Berliner turns from the Nat onal Zeitung to the K adderadatsch mere- 1y in order to have a different treatment of the sume political questions. In the first Le has the tragedy, in the sccond the comedy; but the subject is arways politics. This is, fu” a certain sense, an evil, but the National Zeitung has not yet discovered the true scat or reason of the evil. POOLE, THE LONDON TAILOR. Otive Locan's London Letter to sun Francisco Cail. Speading ot men’s clothes makes me think of Poole, the swell tailor here. Recent experiences of fricnds of wine show me that Poole is still at his old tricks. 1 first heard of this thingtwenty years ago, but Teally thought the establishment was getting a little more sensible in its old age. But it appears it is not. ‘An American having heard so mueh of Poole’s, comes to London and proceeds to fird bis tailor- ing place, with the intention’of ordering some cluthes there. The premises, in Saville Row. bave nothing very awe-inspiring about them. Though vast, they are quiet; though comlorta- bly furnished, not gorzreou: sly 0. But as soun 25 this one American expresses to the individual who vomes forward to leara his business, on bis entrance, a desive to be measured clothes, he is met oy a cold sture and the fri inquiry, “Iave you an introduction” Cowm- pletely thrown oil his balance by so extraordin: & r's shop, the American begins to mumble out somethine ubout the ad- dress of Dbis bankers, or payingin advance i they like. At tnis grossly material line of re- mark the Poole mun seems completely horrified. ©Qn, it’s not in the least a matter of money,— but we generatly like gentiemen to be ntro- duced!” Ha, ba! ‘Theidea of having to be in- troduced toyour taiior? The matter always ends by the Poole deputy taking the Am can’s measure,—to the intense dehght of the Iatter, who, quite unacquainted with any Lords or other m.‘l‘.’., gcruaity feared for a moment that the honor of getting his clothes made by Toole was one which was to clude his grasp just as he thought he had attained it. And now the fact is the Poole establishment never requires an introduction from un Ameri- can, and probably vever bad any from an Amer- can in the world. 5 Tne precaution s necessary in an establish- ment like this, which deals for the most part with men holding large estates, but who handle comparatively little ready money. "These swells do not expect toeir bidls to be presented for three years after delivery of goods; therelore, when-it is n matter of understood credit for this Jeugth of time, it certainly is bighly necessary tor u tradesman to kuow whom he is dealing with. An English noblemen could go into Poole’s with another gentleman and merely say to the attendapt, ¢ Ol Isay—this fs Capt. So- and-So, a friend of mine,’ and Capt. So-2nd-So might order fifty nits at ouce, aud fifty suits a year more; for three years he wwould hear noth- g of the bill. If he didn’t cay it thew, hie would hear pothing of it for three years more; and a good mupy years would “have 10 clapse before they began to press him at all. Thus it may happen on 8 maw’s coming iuto a long-deferred estate, 8 small fortune in itself, comparatively speaking, has to go in a lump to Tuole, who has dressed him like a pentleman and a mao of fashion all his life, aud has never _yet seen a per.uy of bis money. ~ But in spite of such oceurrences as these being not altogether infrequent, it is none the less true that every tailor in London (and none more so than Pool¢; are glad to have cash customers. ‘Thicir appreciation of ready mouey is such that they will make o discount of from 5 to 15 per cent for it. But the inquiry, * Have you an in- troduction?” is a formahty, truditional in the customs of the house of Poole, and, perbaps, it Js not without its uses even for Americans. as it makes them consider their exception to the rule in something of the light of a favor. Avout these Poole clothes, and the clothes of Enclish tailors generally, I have heard many Tarying opinions from Americans. 1t happens at the piesent time that there are some dozen parti y *'pobby” New Yorkers here,—men of position and wealth,—and, as I took the trouble to ask their opinion of Enelish clothes the other day, I will give it to you, adding that it is positive these gertlemen are authorities ou the clothes subject. Their opinion is that En- ordi- | glish gentlemen’s clothes are decidedly the finest, most tasteful of anv in the world. Everything fits casily, comfortably, and patural- 1y. There'is positively no wear out to Poole’s clotes, or those of any other good {Vest-End tailor, " Every stitch is sewed by hand. The cloths are of the best and most lasting quality. A Frenchman’s clothes, they say, are really hideons. Wide, fapping coat-lappels, and ele- phant-cared trowsers; large shirt slecves, open- ing over the band like a funnel; exagperated designs o cloth textures; colored linen and caddish hats maoke up the ensemble. The American taste, also, over these oracles, is much too pronounced. Coats padded on the shoulders, eccentricities 1 cut of garments, lonferish head wear, big watch cbains, and a general Jim Fiskiness, arc au offense so_rare it exhales to heaven. So rubs the tale. The con- versation taking place while the gentlemen were io evenirg dress. 1 observed that these Poole dress suits consisted of rather wide trowsers, falling loose and straight as a bolster- case; long-tailed, long-waisted *‘steel-pen’ coat; very decollette waistcoant, not decper than my widdle finger where it buttons, singln» breasted, though the button-holes are so close togetlier, there are four buttons; waistcoat trimimed all round with two rows of the wvar- rowest possible black silk braid, which looks like 2 buttou-hole-worked edeing. ‘The wide expanse of shirt-bosom wust be Without wrinkle. No watch chain, save an old-fash- foned guard, a black silk cord, is visible. One single small shirt-bosom stud, a tiny eem, but rare, is considered chic. For this cvening suit Poole charpes $50. The gentlemen tell me it would cost $110 in New York. WIIAT ROYALTY COSTS SPAIN. Jadrid Corresnondence New York: Herald. .Let us, in examiving into the causes of this discontent, see what Spanish ruiers do with Spantsh mones. Spainis poor. ‘She only pays a fraction of the intcrest on lier debt. She has had wars in Cuba, wars among the Carlists, can- tonal insurrections,~all a serious drain upon the Treasury. It was financial trouble that led to the French Revolution, and when the Treas- ury is empig discontent is sure to follow. I h:{re been studying the financial estimates, as printed in the oflicial gazette and presented to the Cortes. Take first the Royal House. Spain has a King who was born in 1857, She pays him $1,400,000 8 year, or, Surdays excepted, nearly $4,500 8 day. Aifonso costs every two wecks ore than Mr, Hayes in 2 year. Spafd also nas the services of the Princess of Austrias, a young widow lady born in 1861 She lives with the King, presides over hia housebold, and is, 1 hear, an estimable person, ziven to charity and visiting hospials. Spain pays this Princess 100,000 8 year, or twice as much as you aonually opaid Gen. Grant when President. Spain also eojoys the services of Dona Maria del Pilar Besenguela. This maiden was bors in 1861, and is the King’s sister. She lives mostly in Paris, gocs to church, and reads pious bocks. Spain pays ber $30,000 a_year., which no Con- earess would ever dream of Ziving to_Chief-Jus- tice Waite. Spsin has two otlier Princesses, Dona Maria de la Paz Juana and Eulalie Fran- cisea de Asis. These maidens are respectively 16 and 14. They live in Paris to comfort up ex- iled mother und dress their dolis. I have no doubt they are model children, and will one day be the best of Princesses, Spain pays them each $30,600 a year. I wonder w{mr. ngress would say if we proposed to pay Gen. Sherman as much? The exiled mother, known in history s Isaoella IT., lives in Paris on the Rue Roi de Rome, Spain pays for her services £15,000 a year. She is 50 poor that the other day she put up her jewels at auction, and I do got know how many millions of franes they brought her. ‘The Queen has a sister, wife of the Duke of Montpensier, mother of poor Mercedes. Her husbaud, the Duke, is one of the richest men in Europe, and so Spein pays his wife the bez- garly salary of 350,000 a year. Quecn Isabeila Lias 2 busband who daes aat live on the Rue Roi de Rome, but on the Champs Elysces. I used to see him pottering about under the trees of the avenue, a dapper littic man, that | was wont to fancy a teactier of dance music until I learned that e was an illustrious Prince gud King Con- sort of Spain. Spaiu pays him $60,000 a vear. Not long since the _grandmother of the King, Queen Christina, who spent her last years in o palace on the Champs Elysecs, was zathered to Der fathers, aud now is at peace in_the Escurial. Winle this estimable Princess lived—aud she lived to an_advanced age—Spain valued her services at $50,000 a year. II you ask_me what soccinl services these Princes and Princesses nave rendered to Spain that ot of her impover- cd treasuryfe stould pay them annually $1,900,000, I am’afraid I can mve vou no better answer than the barber in Besumarchais’ ¢ Figa- r0.” Who; when he was asked what the nobie Lord had done to enjoy so mans blessings, could anly respoud, ** Vors vous eles dune (a pene de natre” (they have taken the trouble to be born). AT HOME AMONG THE TERS.” Londan Werld, Pipes and grog at Mr. Frank Buckland’s last Saturday nizht meaut much more than the same entertainment anywhere clse. An *at home ™ in Albany street is always smusing, and this was, if anything, above the usual mark. The interior was dressed up and decorated for the occasion. All the heads and lorns of animals, extant or extinct, were dusted and furbished up; the fraerance of the casting-room, with its marlands of fish entrails, its bottles of ghrimps, seakes, and whitebait upon the shelves, was toned down but not entirely destroyed. The cowpany was of the most heterogeneous deserio- tion. There were Sir Joseph Fayrer, Jearned in the thanatovhidia or poisonous snakes of India; Sir Samuel Baker, equally fuent upon Exyptian reptiles, Airican cxplorers, piscatorial painters, and members inpumerable of the Ligoxan So- ciety and of the Zuo. Genial and zood-natured Mr. Jamrach, with a diamond brooch in his sbirt front and a pleasant smile on his tresh colored face, dilated in glowing terms upoun ' his Pe- ruvian mummy—that of a young girl who fell, or was maliciously ~pushed, some thousand years ago, iuto a witre pit, and who now resembles a few sticks of dry tobacco. Mr. Peachey produced a plaster castof the face of Henry V1L, the same which was exhibited with that King's' efliry, when living in state acarly 400 years ago. To add to the veneral liveliness of the evening, the monkey-hox was drawn near ‘the fire, ana its too rather sickly oveupants in- trodueed to the company. A Lare ran through one’s legs up and down the stairs in perfeet ‘amity with all men; while 2 white rat, friendly creature, with natural sympathies for the hu- mau race, disported itseif upon the sitken robes of the Chinese Arhassador, whose dark but not unkmdly face was somewhat perturbed- at the pollution. He recovered biwmself, however, when tbe green oysters, specially raised by one of Mr. Buckiand's fiicnds, made t auce, and hns appreciation was fully indorsed by o who tasted them. The host and d themselves to keep the fun go- ing, aud when Frank was tired of talki i loyil and indefatigabie assisant, Mr. Seurle, took up his parable and_disconrsed apon fish, {resh or dea, or exhibit®d the toy automaton thimblerigger, a I v of Robert Houdin's. All alike—~foreivners, doctors, luwyers, soléiers, sailors—most thoroughly enjoyed their even- iug. ¢ CRIT- A BOURBON ROMANCE. Montyent leralds Paris Letter. A carious proof of the persistence of loyalty to the elder branch of the Bourbous has just come to tight. Thirteen years ago an old Le- gitimist, without family, wishing to make tue Count de Chambord his leir, and not kaowing hoiv to trausmit his little fortuue to the Lount without danger of its being seized or otherwise taken possession of by the powers that were, hit on the curious expedicut of confiding his money “(some £410) to bis old servani, as thorough a directing her devotee of “Henri V. as_Limsel d o carry it to put the money into & bask tothe Count assoon as he himself shouid be Gead und_buried. The old servant promised her master to do as be emjoiued, and accordingly, on the morrow ~after the funeral of the latier, she set out on her jonrney, carrying = the moner iwith her in a little basket, and, having réached Frobs- dorflin safety, was admitted to the Prince’s presence and executed her commission. The Prince, greatly touched by the incident, endeav- ored to get the old woman to accept the money for herself; but she utterly refused to do so or to accept any pecuniary remuueration for her trouble. _* 15 therc notliing 1 can do for you?!” exclaimed the Count, disuppointed at her re- peated refusals. © Yes, your Majesty,™ returned the old woman, “let me Kiss you!”” The prof- fered kiss having been received and repaid by the Count, to the old servant’s intense delight and gloritication, the latter returned to Paris, where she ha; e resided, and where she died a short time awo. After ner death her reiatives discovered, to their atter amazement and equal gatistaction, a sum of over £3,000 in bank-notes, the notes heing rolled up ina dozen little parcels and placed in a little basket under her bed. This astonishing windfall was forthwith taken pos- session of by the sister of tne deceased, a poor old sonl of 55 years of age, with next to bothing to live upon, aud to whom the sum thus found appearedasort uf California and Goleonda rotled into one, wnen, 1o the dismay of the beiressand other relatives, they came upon a paper which proved to be the will of thedeceased, bequeath- ing the whole to the Count Ge Chambord. It was 500 ascertained, through the relations of the postman, that the deceased had received, every Christmas, from the Count de Chambord a8 handsome present of money in the form of & check, The postman had thus been the medinm through whom the Count’s gifts had reached the oid servant; she had resuiarly cashed the checks thus sent her, but had never touched @ penor of the moncy, the whole of which was found in the basket. The sister, Mile. Conord, bas sent a letter to the Count de Chambord, in- forming him of theaffair. There is httle doubt but the Count will authorize the poor old Wom- an to take possession of the whole. CURRENT G OSSIP. EXERCISES IN PRONUNCIATION. Burdette.

OLD-FASHIONED POLI'TENESS. Prevost furnishes the following rules for po- lite behavior, as they were authoritatively given in 1766: “Do not nudge your neizhbors with your elbow; do not scratch yourself; do not betray by any gesture that vou are hungry, sand do not look cagerly at the food as though you could devour the whole of it. Whouver it be distrib- ating the cut viands, do not hastily present your plate to be served first: . . . domnot crunch the bones mor break the stones of fruit with your teeth. Do do suck the bones to zet out the marrow. It is very indecent to touch any- thing tat, cither sauce orsirup, with the fingers, seeiny that you are tiereby compelled to prac- tice two or three other mdecencies; to wipe your hands frequently on your dioner-napkin, and so dirty it hike a kitchen-clout; to wipe them on your bread, which is even more un- cleanly; or to lick your tingers, which is the very hight of impropriety. Be, careful not to dip your portiou in the dish, or what you are cating in the salt-ccliar; do not offer to otbers what you have already tasted; aud take it for a general rule that what has once been on your plate must’ never be put back on the dish. There is nothing so abominable as to clean and wipe a dish or plate with one’s hands; during the dinner do not, criticise the meats or sauces, or ask to drink first, for 1t is a ereat incivility. Carefully avoid talking with the mouth full. 1t is unctvil to pick one’s tceth during the repast either with 8 knife or a fork. . . . In placinz yourself at table have the head uncovered. Always wipe {our spoon when, after having already ased it, vou wish to take something from another plate, as there are some people so delicate that tuey would not partake even of soup where you had dipped Your spoon, baving previously carried it to your mouth. Join the lipsin cating, g0 as not to make 1 lapoing noise like anfmals. If, untor- tunately, you burn yourself, bear it patiently it you can, bu., if you_ cannot, take your plate delicately in one hand, and, lifting it up, cover your mouth with tne other hand, putting back upon it what burned vou, and then you will pass your plate behind you to a lackey. . . . Do not drink your wibe #s thongh you were tasting it; and do not make two or three drauzhts of your glass, Jor that is too faroilr but drink it down at once and resolutely, lool ingintoitasvoudoso. . . . One mustalso take care in drinking not to make any noise tn the throat, marking the uumber of ‘times one swallows, in such a way thrt the company can count thew.” IRISH MEMORY. Detroit News. It has been so often remarked of the Royai house of Bourbon that its members never for- get, that 1t has passed into aproverb. It is equally well known that the majority of our esteemed fellow-citizens, the Irisk Catholics, are descended from amore ancient if nota nobler line of Kings than any of the Bourbons, and this may perhaps account for the remarka. ble development in them of the same royal recollection of imagined wrongs. We are moved to this remark bythe Cork episodeand the fierce ecno of it in the Irish Catholic press of this _country. Our esteemed, and pious, and theological contemporaries who have shaken bis Des Moines speech in the face of the ex-Presi- dent, need not be reminded that, in so doing, they arc violating a commandment of the reli- gion they pretend to_champion, which say: “Letnot the sun go down upon thy wrath:” “Love those that hate yous’ **If a man strike you upon the right cheek, turn also to him the left.” and much more cqually sage advice 1o the same effect. " But it is not to lecture the Irish Catho- Jies on the duty of foriving their encmies that’ this paragraph is written, bat rather to recite an unco true tale which iilustrates their vivid memoties of some things. Mr. Joseph White, now a shining lizht in Canada politics, was in his youth solicitous of the political aid of his fellow-subjects of the Oranze persuasion, and affiliated with their lodges. Uuring a recent canvass for a seat in the Dominion Parliament, he went down from Mongreal to the county he wanted to represent, and made s speech to the Irec and independent clectors, who happened to be mostly Irish Catholics. At the close of bis speech, which was very flatteriog to the na- tionality and retigion of his hearers,.a venera- ble old Celt arose, and, looking severcly at the speaker, inauired: ‘“Sorr, are you the Misther White who was Tyler av Kilkinning Orange Lodge, in Benfrew, thirty years ao?’ Mr. ‘White was compelled to acknowledze the corn. ¢ Well, then,” said the old fellow, “you may go back to Montrehall the way vou kem, for divil a vote you’ll get in Renfrew !

Trintty (Cal.) Journal. Several weeks ago, fn the neighborbood of Hettenshaw, in this county, a_remarkable bear- hunt occurred. It appears that Dr. Stanles while on a visit to Hettenshaw, exoressed a earnest desire to go bear-huntng; and accord- ingly one morning he started, in company with Green French, Georze Burgess, and Jo Light- foot. Arriving at a thicket, the flogs gave no- tice of their near approach to bear, aud the party decided to station themselves at certain pouints and let the dogs go in and drive the bear out. This was done; bus the Doctor, becoming fmpatien, entered, the thicket bimself. The heavy undergrowth made bis progress slow, but he fought his way alicad until be canie to a fall- cu treé Iyine in 8 litule gulch. “Helpivg bimself aloug by the limbs he arrived at the uooer eud just in time to be_confrontcd by'a huge wrizzly bear.

Justafter T left Honcoye Falls a tall man sat dywn in the seat in front of me, I had noticed bim standing weariiy about on the platiorm, and I pitied him. My icart was full of sym- patny for him. I am always sorry for a tall man. Sometimes, when Iget before an audi~ ence, and bave to stand on my tip-toes to look over the foot-lizhts, I wish I wasa trifle taller than fam. But this longing is ‘only momen~ tary. It passes awayas soonas I scean un~ usually tall man. You see, a very tall man is always pursued, haunted by one unvaryine joke. Every short or ordiuary-sized wan” thai ap- proaches Lim throws back his head, alects to fgaze up into the heavens witha very painful effort, and asks, *Isn’t it pretty cold up where youare?” Just watch the next short man you sce meet & tall one and see if this conundrum doesn’t follow the first ting. Just warch, and see if you do mnot ask it yourself. And this must be dreadfully wearing on the tall man. I have observed that as a rule bie men, tall men, ‘are zood natured. It is we little fellows who have waspish tempers. So the tall man never resents this venerable joke by sitting down on the.man who gets it off. He smiles drearily, and witha weary effort toappear interested, and tries to look as though he bad pever heard it _beforc. It must be a perfect torture for tha tallman to hear this question filty times a duy for thirty or forly years. Sometimes, when [ beara dozen men ask atall man of my me- quaintance this question, in direct_s sion, aud see him endure it so patieotly, I wish I was the Colossus of Rhodes, aad a little man four fect eleven and a half, would comeup to me some day when I felt richt rood and stare up at me with a ¢rin Jonzer than his body, and ask me, “If it wan’t pretty cold up there’ and t would hold him up by the neck, and I would swing my brazen leg until it get the motion and impetus of a walking beam, and then I would kick the little fellow so hixh that he conid read the pames of the streets on the street lamps in Uranus, and I would sarcastically snout alter bim, 0, it's red hot!” Have tall menno rizhts that we who live cight or ten inches nearer the easth, are bound to respect ¢ AN AMATEUR MOURNER. London Times. Mr. L. was a gentleman of independent for- tune, which be exbausted in the course of a few years in gratifying one of the oddest whims that could ever eater the mind of a rativual being. His sole eujovment <was the attending of fanerals. When hebeard of the deatb of any great man, throuzh the channel of the papers, he immediately made the circuit of the whole town to know who had the job, and then pro- ceeded to accompany it.
