TILDEN’S PALACE. The Richest and Mont Ornate Mansion im America, A VISITOR'S IMPRESSIONS OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DECORATIONS, CARVINGS, BUSTS AND FINE ESTHETIC EFFECTS—ORIENTAL SPLENDOR IN NEW YORK. From the New York Star. What was simply the day dream of Oscar Wilde, the impalpable abstraction, so to spea k, of a vivid fancy struggling to grasp the upotheosia of decorative art, has been trans- formed, materialized and bodied forth into the shapes and hues of one of the most sublime pieces Of realistic, architectural beauty that has yet appeared on this contineat, in Gra- mercy Park. It remained for Hon. Samuel J. Tilden to crown the efforts ot his busy and useful life by more than realizing the most enthusiastic dreams of esticticism in his new | house, which is alike the wonder, the admira- | tion and the envy ‘ew York millionaires, | who have re been attempting to ceect | palaces on European and Ori Plans. The first thing that stri tn@ observer is the im- posing race which Mr. Tilden’s palace | presents from every approach to the square. It 2céms to catch the eye as_ readily as if it occu- pied the ve enter of the square. and casts all its neighbors in the shade. Tie cause of this, thouzh the effect is manifest to the eye, Is not by any means apparent at first sight, and can | onty be understood through some attention to | the det and the secrets of the architect's art. } Th isa doubie one, occupying fitty feet | front, and having a depth of néarly the entire j length of the block between 20th and here are two spacious entrances with im- bay windows between extending from ment fothesummit. The general arehi- is of the pointed, converzing character, with the Gothic ting, and carefutly contrived to pro- duce the highest effect on the artistic eye. {To go silgh to detail so that one may | be able to in an idea of the various parts | that constitute this magnificent whole of splendor, it may be stated that yr has been treated in a free manner, ic, with a considerable amount . both conventional and realistic. The poets and painters, finely chiseled, adorn the front, Among these are the busts of Milton, Geethe, Dante and Shakespeare. Over the eastern ent there isa beautitul repre- sentation of the four seasons, and over the western a bas-relief of Mich: ngelo. The stones used for the front are Be! le and liste. one being a beautiful g: 9th sta. iding bands and with black cranite in patterns. A novelty roduced in the treatment of i which has been broken up into pediments, 80 as to give a picturesque appear- ance to what architects call the sky line. The f of the flagstaff at the north angle ling las been treated in a novel man- ner. This Isa square metal base surmounted by a pediment. from which the flagstaff starts. The main chimney has also been made a feature of the general composition of the building, dom- inating the mass and forming the apex of the sky line. This is done with aview of securii the grand effect produced by the pyramidal form, or of culminating or drawing up the sky line toan apex. The resuit arrived at in this is sence of true architectural composition the very esthetic point of the per- feetion of art. This feature in architecture is a great nov- entirely wanting, !n some of the most costly structures of ga millionaires. The bay win- dows constitute another feature of the grand | exterior of Mr. Tilden’s mansion. The approach | is exceedingly striking, and there is something inexpresstble in the tout en: ble, which con- contrast with the buildings vicinity. The best of them in the vicinity only seem like tinsel beside the real gold. or wretched paste imitation placed in con- tact with diamonds of the purest water. It itutes one of those sihts which makes a ichman lose ali his vocabulary in an ecstacy protound admiration, with the single excep- tion of the phrase, ‘C’est magnifique.” The eastern entrance is highly carved and decorated. consoles or brackets are some- different from what is usually seen in ‘y houses. The bronze railing is also of a peculiar character. Another handsome and unique feature is the treatment of the tront area, with its open bal- ustrade of real bronze compared with the or- dinary flagzed area in common nse. qT wards of the basement windows and sof the basement entrance are of solid bronze. The end raflings of the stoops are and ebon: The railings of the bay win- iso of bronze, ranning from the base- ment to the third floor. This In general terms and in semi-architectual dialect is a representa n of the s ‘al features of the facade. It presents quite a picturesque and imposing pearance viewed from any standpoint in Gra ercy Park, and imparts to the finest stone fronts there a beggarly aspect. The wrath of Jim Bennett when the new post office was built was only a childless caprice compared with the Tage that some millionaires in the park must eel, deep seated in their injured breasts, when i at Tilden’s mansion from the front win- dows of their own comparatively wretched structures. The eye never wearies gazing upon it, as the more minutely it is viewed, Itke certain Oriental zns in tapestry, the greater number of new fi iscoverable. There is nothing of style about it. Like Mr. Tilden’s it is all thoroughly substantial. Atter avain attempt to grasp all the exteriordeat ties, a new and overwhelming surprise {s in store for the visitor to this mansion when he is admitted to the Interior of its esthetic precincts. The dining-room, in No. 15, is the first object that strikes his bewlldered imagination. It is anarea of 30 fect square, and will when thor- oughly finished, present a picture of Oriental magnificence, with its beautifal panel ceiling, composed of satinwood ribs, carved and decor- ated, the panels belng filled in with tiles of blue tint, with every possible contrast of color and figure to heighten the effect. The walls above the level of the dado or wainscoting of the ceiling are covered with satin panels, carved with real birds, animals, flowers and foliage in high nelle’ peeson ting a nature in eadless variety, and taking the imagination back to the Twelfth century Rennatssance as manifested in the wonderful design of the French cathedrals of that period, the remnants of which have to some extent been preserved in Notre Dame. When Mr. Blaine saw this room he was 80 much overcome by esthetic enthusiasm that he telegraphed at once to Washington to have the dining-room in his new house made after the same fashion. In his cooler momenta, however, when he came to discuss the matter financially, with his architect, and found It would cost $50,000, he issaid fo have uttered an exclamation. naming a place which is not recognized on Bob Ingersoll’s chart of the uni- verse, the estimate for his entire house not having exceeded this amount. On the second floor of thia house there fs an elegant suite of rooms which are finished in satinwood, carved and decorated in the same rooms are composed of what tecture as the finest juetry. no carpets on the floors, but a variet; Oriental rugs of the finest texture of Cashmere and other poetic places. Tngs combine in a remarkable degree—some of them being well ‘known as prayer rugs—t qualities of beanty and durability, and will hardly be worn out in nine successive genera- tions of the Tildens, dating from the present vigorous and intellectual stock. The cost is ‘ariously estimated from $500,000 to $800,000, Vaux and Radford are the architects. Taking a general glance at the interior of the Book rithont pertltting the faterest to fag for k without itting the intet 0 flag for & moment, it will be seen to be almost perfectin the adaptability of Its various parts. In the first place it is perfectly fire-proof, and in this re- spect would probably afford the only safe refuge as a dwelling in the city in the event of fire ona similar scale as those of Chicago and Boston. It | has brick floors and brick partitions started on iron beams and girders. The roof is iron, and covered with tiles. The stairs constitute about the only combustible material in the houss,, They are mahogany, but they it be rarely sed, as the dwouhrg is Provided with one of ‘vest Tiydraule elevators in the city, running from the basement to the top. .There are four or five other elevators in private dwellings in the city, Sir Cyrus having one of the best, but it is admitted that Mr. Tilden’s takes the palm. ———-e-—-_____ Gas eters as Spreaders of Fire. From the Metal Worker. In most buildings designed for multiple ten- ancy, like great apartment houses and the ca- pacious office-buiidings which comprise so large a part of the business portion of a city, it is cus- tomary to provide a separate gas-meter for each room or suite of rooms. These meters are com- monly placed in closets and out-of-the-way corners, and are very apt to be surrounded with much combustible matter. The connections of meters with the gas-pipes are usually, if not al- ways, of lead, a metal that is easily fasible, and \the solder with which the plates of the meter are joined together yield even more readily to heat. Leta fire break out in a building con- taining, as many*buildings do, a score or more of these fragile fire-feeders, and the hot air sweeping in advance of the fire will quickly melt the lead or solder. The outpouring gas fills the building with the explosiveatmosphere, which hastens the spread of the flames and keeps up an inexhaustible supply of fuel. Such burning of gas jets, sometimes of great size, are to be seen after almost every city fire, when nothing is left of a building but blackened and broken walls. The gas poured into burning buildings through such openings doubtless helps ; materially to account for the surprising sudden- ness with which many great buildings have been swept by flames, and in all cases the out- flow of gas must seriously counteract, if it does not altogether thwart, the efforts of the firemen. The remedy for this great evil is not so easy to point out. It is obvious that where a multitude of meters are to be distributed through a build- ing, they should be more securely encased and provided with infusible connections, or some means should be devised whereby the gas-sup- ply shall be automatically shut off whenever the temperature rises so as to imperil the integrity ofthe meter. There should be also near the outer door and readily accessible to firemen some means by which the connection of the house with the gas-main in the street can be quickly closed. There Is clearly an opportunity here for useful and profitable invention. see os Glansy Shingles. From the Brick, Tile and Material Review. A manufacturing firm in Pittsburg has made a new departure in the use of glass, a patent having recently been granted to them for the manufacture of glass shingles, It is claimed for this material that it is more durable, stronger, and more impervious to rain than slate or any other substance now used. The manufacture of these shingles will also be comparatively inex- pensive, and they can be placed in position by any ordinary workman. They can be used for weather-boarding or siding houses, and will be found especially serviceable for conservatories or hot-houses, as they can be made of trans- parent as wellas of opaque or translucent glass. ‘These shingles have the advantage of slate in several particulars, In consequence ot their shape they lie solid on the roof, and so can be used on comparatively flat roofs, and they will admit of persons walking on them without danger of fracture, a quality which slate does not possess. They are interlocked so as to leave no interstices between them, and no rivet holds each pair of shingles, so that they cannot be forced from their places by wind or other atmospheric disturbances. They are also made so as to have very little waste qaterial. It takes 300 slates, each eight by twelve inches, to cover what is technically known as a “square” or roof(aspace measuring ten feet each way), but 150 of these shingles will suffice for the same space. Slates lap on the ends in the rooting, but the shingles lap on thesides. It has been proved by experiment that of two ad- Jacent houses, one covered with slate and the other with translucent glaas, the heat of a room near the roof in the former building will exceed that of one similarly situated in the lat- ter, during summer, by thirteen degrees; glass roofs are also warmin winter. Glass is other- wise a non-conductor of electricity, and houses with these roofs will need no lightning con- ductors. Although the kind of glass intended to be used in these shingles 1s non-transparent, yet spaces for sky lights may be fill with transparent glass. The exposed parts of the shinglesare corrugated to increase the strength and carry off the water. The firm will construct the shinglesin handsome diamond shapes, and they can be supplied in any colorrequired, or of no color if preterred. A roof with colored border and opalescent body is said to be very handsome. | deiphia Times. Mr. Thomson Hankey, who is described as “‘a well-known and wealthy London diner-out,” and therefore a high authority on dining, has published a little book on the subject, in which he proposes to reduce a London dinner to ra- tional dimensions. Mr. Hankey’s main points are thus summarized: 1. Limit the number of guests to twelve or fourteen. 2. Keep the dining room cool and well ventilated. 3. Sit down to dinner at 834, without waiting for guests who may be absent. 4. Return to the drawing room by 914 to 934. 5. Reduce the present number of dishes. It will be seen that these reforms are in the line of those already adopted by rational dinner givers In this country. The first proposition may beamended by a slight reductionin the limit. The ‘‘dozens” that make up a dinner service may not be as important in England as here, but even apart frem this practical con- sideration, twelve at the table are just the right number. More than that makes a large party. The second point is essential all the world over and needs no argument to enforce it though it Is often neglected. The third and fourth are to be considered with reference tothe different customs of the two countries. The day in London {s nearly two hours later than with us, and with our American habits it would style as the dining-room. When the visitor enters house 14, however, he is introduced into combining the ornamental and the useful in somethin; akin to ioe giving one the idea that Mr. Tilden doing for literature what Richard Wagner attempted to do for music. The De? cipal floor of the dwelling consists of three large rooms, to be used exclusively as a library, compared with which all other private libraries into insignifi- in the country will sink cance.

Mr. Hankey’s point is that an hour and a half Is long enough to spend at the table, and with this is connected his fifth proposal. The number of dishes at a grand English din- ner unquestionably needs reduction, but a grand dinner of any kind is not wanted for an ordinary dinner party of a dozen. ifindeed it is ever anything bul Even for what “Ha! ha! Now I haye got you,” sald the grocery man to the bad boy the other morning as he came in and jumped the counter and tied the end of, ball of twine to the tail of a dog, and “sicked* the dog on another dog that was following a passing sleigh, causing the twine to pay out until the whole ball was scat- tered along the block. “Condemn you, I've a notion to choke the liver out of you! Who tled that twine to the dog’s tdi?” The boy choked up with emotion and the tears came into his eyes, and he said he didn’t know anything about the twine or the dog. He sald he noticed the dog come in and weg his tail around the twine. but he the dog was & friend of the family, and did not disturb him. “‘Eyersvody lays everything that is done to me,” sald the boy, as pat his handkerchief to his nose, ‘and, they will be sorry for It'when I dle. I have a good notion to poison myself by eating some of your glucose sugar.” “Yes; and youdo about everything that Is mean. The other day a lady came in and told me to send up to her house some of my country sausage, done up in muslin bags, and while she was examining It she noticed something hard inside the bags, and asked me what it was, and opened it.andI hope to die if there wasn't a little brass padlock and a piece of red morocco dog-collar imbedded in the sausage. Now. how do you suppose that got in there?” and the gro- ocr man looked savage. ‘he boy looked interested, and put on an ex- pression as though in deep thought, and finally said, ‘I suppose the farmer that put up the sausage did not strain the dog meat. Sausage meat ought to be strained.” The grocery man pulled in about half a block of twine, after the dog had run against a fence and broke it, and told the boy he knew perfectly well how the brass padlock came to be in the sausage, but thinking that it was safer to have the good-will of the bey than the Ill- |. he offered him a handful of prunes. No,” says the boy, “I have sworn off, on mouldy prunes. 1 amno kindergarten any more. For years I have eaten rotten peaches around this store, and everything you couldn't sell, but I have turned over a new leaf now, and after this nothing is too godd for me. Since pa has got to be an inventor we are going to live high.” “What was it about: your folks getting up at night to eat? The hired girl was over here after some soap the other morning and she said she was going to leave your house.” “Well. that was a picnic. Pa said he wanted breakfast earlier than we had been in the habit of having it, and he said I might see to it that the house was awake early enough. The other night I awoke with the awfullest pain you ever heard of. It was that night that you give me and my chum the bottle of pekieg oysters that had begun to work. Well, I couldn't sleep, and I thought I would call the hired girls, and they got up and got breakfast to going, and then T rapped on paand ma’s door and told them the breakfast was getting cold, and they got up and came down, We eat breakfast by gaslight, and pa yawned and sald it made a man feel good to get up and get ready for work before daylight, the way he used to on the farm, and ma she yawned and agreed with a, *cause she has to, or have arow. After reakfast we sat around for an hour, and pa said it was a long time getting daylight, and bimeby pa looked at his watch. When he began to pull out his watch I lit out and hid in the store-room, and pretty soon I heard pa and ma come up stairs and go to bed, and then the hired girls they went to bed, and when it was all still and the pain haa stopped Inside of my clothes, I went to bed, and I looked to see what time it was, and it was 2 o’clock in the morning. We got dinner at 8 o'clock in the morning, and pa said he guessed he would call upthe house atter this, so I have lost another job, and it was all on account of that bottle of pickied oysters ‘ou gave me. My chum says he had colic, too, ut he didn’t call up his folks. It was all he could do to get up hisself. Why don't you sometimes give away something that is not spiled?” The grocery man’satd he guessed he knew what to give away; andthe boy: went out and hung up a signin front of the grocery, that he had made on wrapping-paper with red chalk, which read: ‘Rotten eggs, good enough for custard pies, for eighteen cents a dozen.” .. Simple Remedies. From Hall’s Journal of Health. Half a teaspoonful of common table salt dis- solved in a little cold water, and drank, will in- stantly relieve “heart-burn” or dyspepsia. If taken every morning before breakfast, increas-- ing the quantity gradually to a teaspoonful of salt and a tumbler of water, it will in 9 few days cure any case of dyspepsia, it at the same time due attention is paid to the diet. There is no better remedy than the above for constipation. As a gargle forsore throat It Ig equal to chlorate of potash, and is entirely safe. It may be used as often as desired, and if a little 1s swallowed. each time it will have a beneficial effect. on the throat by cleansing it and by allaying the irrita- tion. In doses of one to four teaspoonfuls in half a pint to a pint of tepld water it acts promptly as an emetic, and in casesof poisoning is always at hand. It is anexcellent remedy for bites and stings of insects. It is a valuable astringent in hemorrhages, particularly for bleed- Ing after the traction of teeth. It has both cleansing and healing properties, and 1s, there- fore, a most excellent application for superficial ulcerations. Mustard is another valuable remedy. No family should be without it. Two or three tea- spoonfuls of ground mustard stirred ‘into half ‘pint of water acts as an emetic very promptly, and is mild and easier to take than salt and water. Equal parts of ground mustard and flour or meal, made into a paste with warm water, and spread on a thin plece of muslin, with another piece of muslin laid over it, forms the often indispensable ‘mustard plaster.” It is al- most a specific for colic, when applied tor a few minutes over the “‘pit of the stomach.” For all internal pains and congestions there is no rem- edy of such general utility. It acts as a coun- ter-irritant, by drawing the blood to the sur- face; hence in severe cases of croup a small mustard plaster should be applied to the back of the child’s neck. The same treatment will relieve almost any case of headache. A mus- tard plaster should be moved about over the spot to be acted upon, for if left too long in one placeit is liable to bilster. A mustard plaster acts as well when at a considerable distance trom the affected part. An excellent substitute for mustard plasters is what is_ known as “mus- tard leaves.” ner come & dozen in a box, and areabout four or five inches in size. They are perfectly dry, and will keep for a long time. For use it is Say necessary to dip one in a dish of water for a minute and then apply tt. Common baking soda Is the best of all reme- dies in cases of scalds and burns. It may be used on the surface of the burned pines, elther dry or wet. When applied promptly the sense of relief is magical. It seems to withdraw the heat, and with It the pain, and the healing cess soon commences. _ It is the best applica- tion for eruptions caused‘ by poisonous ivy and | other poisonous plants, as for bites and stings of insects, Owing'to colds, over fatigue, anxiety and various other causes the urine is often scanty, highly colored, ahd more or less loaded with phosphates, which settle to the bottom of the vessel on cooling’ As much soda as can be dipped up with a ten cent piece, dis- solved in half a glass of cold water and drank evel three hours, will soon remedy the trouble and cause relief to the Me Obires we recognize as however, an hour anda halfisa rather shorter time than wey Teasomebly be allowed. even if the ten mrposes of a inner party were sul - nated to the simple consumption of food. Two hours would be a more reasonable allowance, It is impossible to make an unt ing rale upon this point, but if Mr. Hankey only means that the dinner ts to be served promptly, with- out tedious delays between the courses and not prolonged for the sake of passing time, he is unquestionably right. The time spent at dinner must be regulated by the good judgment of the hostess. She must quicken or prolong it— regulate the tempo, as a musician would —_— according to circumstances and the evident hu- mor of her Sometimes three hours may be pleasantly passed over the very same dinner that in other conteey would seem tedious if it an hour, and the skill of the hostess is que as severely tried in carrying the dinner through as it is in Seat the menu and arranging the guest-cards. Dinner-giving, in other words, cannot be regulated by rule. Dinner-giving is an art. ion that always exists from interruption of the natural flow of urine. This treatment should not be continued more than twenty-four hours, We have no more space to devote to this subject now; but it is one of universal interest, and we shall continue it, We shall enaeayor to show that most of the diséases and acci- dents that are constantly occurring could be remedied or avoided by resorting to such reme- er ans epplanaes omare Ca be found in every me. , 3 OH a; A Hint for the Washington “Dudes.” From the Philadelphia Record, Philadelphia has a good list of lady million- alres.
