I was seated at the Cafe de la Paix yesterday afternoon, enjoying a “Mazagran.” when a rather old and by no means neat-looking for- eigner sat down at table next to mine. I had often seen him in the Bols de Boulogne, fre- quently at the Comedie Francaise, sometimes at the circus and once out at the Pavilion Henri IV. at Saint Germain. He fs a littie old man, with a care-worn face, a hesitating step, round shouldered, has a modest, almost slovenly out- ward appearance, and yet he is somebody. My chbor of yesterday was the Baron de Steig- | fitz e richest man of all the Russians. He is in Russia tthe Rothschilds are in France, what Jay Gould or Vanderbilt are in America, | almost a state within the state. He has mil- lions upon millions at his command and yet he has sore eyes. Not of very ancient origin is this rich Muscovite. His grandfather left Han- | over and took up his residence in Russia during the reign of Alexander I. There he abjured the faith of his fathers, but he retained the a#pecu- lative genius of his race. He was successtul in ail his ventures and honors were heaped upon him. One day he was presented to the sov- at the head of a delegation of the leading ants. The Czar called him “Baron.” by and of course the title clun to him er afterwards, Since those days the banking house of the Baron de Steiglitz has negotiated 'y nearly all the loans of the Russian govern- ment, while, as for the sore-eyed old tellow here in Paris, he is the banker of the crown aud the adviser of the minister of finances. During the course ofhis financial exploits he temporarily gave up hisown business in order to take in hand the envent of the Imperial bank. During this period his already colossal fortune increased pro- disionsly. when there was to be an issue of a new n which there were annual drawings for prizes, the governor of the bank perceived that such a security was destined, owing to its lottes ture and the fondness of the public #,‘tu have a rapid rise. He accor- subscribed for an enormous sum and the justified his foresight, tor his profit in this one transaction bas been estimated at not less than ten million dollars. Another successful fina vperation also contributed to largely increase the fortune of this Iucky Baron about the same time, but it was at the expense of the Muscovite treasury. In 1861, when the paper rouble was away below par, de Steiglitz per- suaded the Czar to order that specie payments should be resumed. There was not a sufficient me! standing paper, but the governor believed that when the public had the power to change paper for goid they would not take the trouble todo so. He soon found out his mistake, for the rush was so great that the military had to be calied out to preserve order, and then the Baron at once saw that he might make a good jing of it for himself personally. He began by gettin al! his paper money cashed in hard coin, and then when the bank again suspended specie payments and the rouble had fallen to a lower point than it had ever before touched he sold his gold and was several millions the richer. This successful financial operation cost the Baron de Steiglitz his place as governor of the bank and he returned to banking on his own account. Forseveral years the Baron has been leading the existence of a retired man, living on @ part only of his income, an income estimated at the enormous sum of four mililon dollars. He ts a widowerand childless, and it is probable that the whole of his fortune will go to an adopted daughter, who is the wife of Senator Polot: and to his cullateral heirs. The demi- moudaines of this gay capital have no influence over this old beggar, for he is devoted to the memory of his dead wife. She diea some years ago and the Baron erected a sumptuous chapel over her tomb, and at his palace in St. Peters- burg the rooms formerly occupied by her are left unoccupied. The old man often spends whole hours in meditation in the boudoir, Where she used to love to sit between two splendid paintings, one by Rubens, the other a 2 This old banker does not enjoy at St. Peters- bur that kind of popularity which is enjoyed here in France by the Rothschilds.

When the prima donna finished her morceau the Baron offered his arm to the cele- brated cantatrice. and, leading her to a table on which were displayed several richly filled jewel | cases, asked her which one of them she’ pre- 1 red. **But,” said Mme. Volpini, thought- ly, “they are all equally handsome.” The next morning they were all sent to her home. When he was quite a young man the Baron had occasion to yisit a town in the north of Russia. He arrived one night at an unimpor- tant station. The snow was falling heavily and the road was blocked. It was Impossible to 4 any further and yet the prospect of passing the night in a Russian country inn had nothing at- tractive about it. A yentleman residing in the neighborhood courteously offered him a good supper and @ comfortable bed. When supper was over and they were sitting before the fire a game of cards was suxgested and at daybreak the Baron hud lost all the money he had about him and was some 3,000 roubles in debt. The gentleman asked hinrto place that sum to his credit on the books ot the bank, saying that some day, when he visited St. Petersburg, he would call In and draw it out. Years passed away, the gentleman in question was ruined in business and forced to sellhisestate. He called one day at the bank without adollar In the world andrelated his misfortunes to the Baron, whomade no reply, but as the gentleman was leaving the cashier handed him a package con- taining not three thousand but thirty thousand roubles and every rouble was worth haifa dollar. Imizht mention a few other traits of this kind and I could also mention several illustra- tive of his avarice. * It js said that he knows to a farthing the exact amount of his fortune, and although the possessor of so many iillions he cannot risk afew francs without feeling anxious about them. The Russian ambassador lald a bet with him of a louis the result of the last grand prix. The Baron’s joy when Frontin won Was as amusing as his anxiety Just before the race was disgusting. If 1 was as rich a man as that old fellow sitting next to me I'd drink my coffee out ofa Sevris cup instead of a common tumbler, even if I did have sore eyes. J. H.

A Wonderful Dell’s Wardrobe for the ‘Wilds of Nebraska. From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazettes, When Mrs. Judge Higley returned from Arte- Keta some weeks ago she brought with hera commission from a friend—a rich ranchmaa of Beatrice, Neb., who is preparing a very de- lightful surprise for his little ten-year-old daughter, whose birthday falls early in Septem- ber. The surprise takes the shape of a doll almost as big as the little lady herself. The breparation of a wardrobe for it was intrusted to Mrs. Harry Watkin, the artistic dresamaker of Race street. Mrs. Watkin was given carte blanche to provide a wedding reception and walking-dress; a tea-gown and a Mother Hub- bara wrapper,twozets of lingerie, boots, gloves, hosiery, bonnets, &c. The result ts a most ex- quisite outfit made with the same inty pre- cision that would mark 9 “grown up” ward- Tobe. The seams of the waist are bound with silk, and every seam of the bodices crow-footed with silk. The handkerchiefs are of linen- cambric, hemstitched by special order at the Women’s Exchange. The wedding dress 1s of white satin, embroidered in Jet, and trimmed with real lace and orange blossoms. The recep- tion dress ts of pale blue silk, exquisitely trim- med with Mauresque lace, and thirteen yards of silk went to the making of the dress. With this is an exquisite poke Lonnet of biue velvet with pink plumes, blue silk hose and blue silk mits. The walking dress is a bronze Ottoman silk, with relief of Mandarin yellow, with a long coat of bronze velvet faced with yellow silk and fastened with silver buttons. The Langtry turban to go with this 1s of bronze crepe de chene with an impyan head and yellow plumage at the side. The tea gown is of white came- lette, made a la Watteau, the entire front a tor- sade of lace interrupted by knots of pale pink ribbon. The Mother Hubbard is of scarlet cash- mere. The opera hat is of white Jet, with two plumes, one of white marabout and the other 1d tipped. The underwear and white mull tare masses of delicate lace and needle- every stitch set a4 daintily as if fora baby’s chriatening robe. The entire cost of the outfit is close on to $500, and it is unquestion- ably the most sumptuous and thorongh outfit ever prepared for such a purpose.

Milan has long been the world’s center for in- struction of music, and for painting and sculp- ture as well. Its fame as a school of art, which dates with Leonardo da Vincl, in the 14th cen- tury, has been perpetuated by his pupils, Luint and Salino. Since the founding ot the academy of the Prera, Milan has been the home of the majority of all pupils of sculpture. The Italian national conservatory of music is here, and also the Royal opera house, Della Scala. More than half of the many Americans who come abroad to perfect themselves in music or painting make this their place of study. The number now under the various masters here is nearly 500. A maestro whose success is beyond question is Signor Sangiovani, whose name being trans- lated is Anthony St. John, He is professor of vocal music in’ the conservatory, and has long been the most popular finisher of American artisis. In conversation with me a few days ago he said. “the Americans usually know well their music, and if they have good material in the voice, can make debut in one year. Then they learn music after getting on the stage, but should come to the maestro for one month after their first season. Patti always drills witha maestro for a short time before operatic season. The American voice is usually sweet and flexible; their throat light soprano, and their execution good.” “Why do singers having English or German names always assume an Italian one?” “The opera singer usually mekes her debut here, and she must have a name which Italians can pronounce, and not a harsh English name. There was Mrs. Hitchcock. Think of an Italian trying to say that name when there ts no h sound in his language. The manager came to me and said: ‘I can’t have her appear in that name. It won’t do!’ So TI had to take her maiden name, which was Durand. You know her in that name. She has succeeded.” “At what age is it best for pupils to come to ou?” “Not before 18 nor after 22 or 23. Ifthey are 22 they must know well their music. At 23 the voice is fully formed and there ag,no dagger! breaking it.” i : - “They begin earlier at the conservatory, don't they?” ¥es, at 16; but it is on light work, and they stady other things beside music.” “What is the necessary expense of musical educationhere to those who come from abroad and are under private instruction?” ‘Well, the cost of living in a family !s—I will give an average—180 francs a month. In board- ing-houses it is less. Rent of piano is 10 to 12 francs per month. Teacher of Italian language, three francs each lesson, three lessons a week for six or seven months. The good teachers of singing he 10 francs each for three lessons a week. more lessons are taken the price is eight francs—any way that is my rule. The lesson oceuptes an hour. but there is always an interval in the middle of it for rest. Then, during four or five months before their debut, they must have lessons in acting, which cos! four francs each. This expense does not come until that for tan leasons is past. The Americans write for me to get for them apart- ments, and expect great apartments, like in America. They make a mistake by always stop- ping at the big hotel when they first come.” These figures of Signor Sangziovani make the cost per month for boarding and instruction $72 in our currency. The National conservatory of music was the next topic of conversation. The greatness of its history, the magnitude of its success and the detail of its administration were dwelt upon -at length by the maestro. His having been for 23 years a professor in the institution, has given him the fullest possible opportunity ‘of knowl- edge of this subject. The conservatory is sustained by the Italian general government at a cost of 300,000 francs per annum. A government director, Signor Bazzini, is responsible for the use made of the funds and for the efficiency ot the instruction. The professors, however, are appointed by the crown. The government inspector is the Duke Melzi. The faculty is composed of four protessors of vocal music, three for the plano, three for violin, a like number for mu- sical composition and a professor for each of the other string and wind instruments; in all 30. A professional chair pays its incumbent 2.000 francs @ year directly and much more through the reputation that it brings. Fees paid by the | eked in amount, being five francs ‘@1) per month, and this charge is made only luring the first twelve months, if the pupil gets good classification at the first yearly examina- tion. Ifhis second yearly examination is satis- factory he afterwards receives a pension of ten to forty francs, the amount depending upon his class standing. This is paid until the seven years necessary to his graduation are past. Boys who enter to learn the plano and become com- posers are required to remain ten years. ogee mporor William’s Wardrobe.

It was handed about from one to the other, het tasted and. smelled, but they couldn't see how such stuff as that would ma- nure land. “‘Nelther could the planters of my state.” said the gentleman. “They kicked it about when- ever it came in their way, cursed its presence in their flelds, and worked hard to cart it out of the way, Just like they would any other rocks. while all the time it was the most valuablething they could own, only they didn’t know tt. By and by, a few years after the war, one of those shrewd, prying. spectacle-wearing Yankee geol- ogists from the neighborhood of Boston came down to Charleston in search of marine fossils, and, as good luck would have it, paid a visit to one of the plantations on the Ashley river. Here his attention was drawn to a huge lump of this rock, which contained one of the very fossils for which he was searching. He struck it several blows with a hammer to dislodge the petrifac- tion from its envelope, and was surprised and delighted to discover that the despised and re- jected rock was a rioh phosphate of lime, more valuable, indeed, as was proved by analysis, than the precious guano deposits of the South At- lantic and Pacific islands, over which govern- ments haye gone to war, and from whose traffic gigantic fortunes have been made. I take this specimen, strike it, scratch it or even rub it, and. its speaks for itself as to its character.” Here he suited his action to hie words, and gave the stone to the nearest one of the party after rubbing it vigorously between his thumb and forefinger. “Phew!” exclaimed that individual as he brought it under his nore, “it smells like a charch steeple pigeon roost.” The others repeated the experiments with similar results, and the harmless-looking stone was incontinently dropped upon the table as something uncanny. --You may believe,” continued the South Car- olina gentleman, ‘the Yankee made «# caretul and gulet investigation of the extent and local- ity of the deposits, and then lost no time in getting back to Boston with a scheme to dis- close to eastern capitalists that really had ‘mil- lions in it.’ The original company did not do much beside purchasing mining leases on all the ground thought to contain the phosphatic rock. But the secret was out, and other com- panies obtained sub-leases and erected large worke for preparing the crude material for market. A series costly experiments followed with varying success, both as to the manner of mining and methods of han- dling and reduéing the rocks. Still the production of the fertilizer grew steadily year by year, keeping Always behind the com- mercial demand. * The &ecepted method of min- ing is by means of shalfow trenches. gradually widening into each othér as the deposits are re- moved. This enSwered very well at first, as the stratum of rocks fs not over two or tliree feet in ickness, and no'thought was given to possible 's lying under’ the Waters of the rivers and bayous. It remained for other enterprising capitulists to discbver the latter fact. and now hey are reaping @ rich harvest by dredging and scraping the bottom, aid even employ divers in the work of gathering tae subaqueous deposits. The localities where the rock is found extend along both sides of the'Ashley for two or three miles above its urouth, And underlay the bed of that stream and ifs tribitary creeks. Nearly all the ground is of mharshy‘character, and the work of mining and transporting tne rock to the mills is carried on withtnegro labor, as that is found to be the most reliable.’ The negro can best en- dure the exposure to the heat of thesun and the malaria of that region, but even he becomes subject to attacks of rheumatism and low grade fevers, which, ina year or two, compel him to retire from this form of labor.” “How caine this rock to be deposited in that Particular locality?” “Well, sir, for that our best. authority is the geologists. ‘They say that this region once had higher tides than at present, and the present Jowlands of the Ashley river were in former ages covered by the tides, and that this locality must have been an immense ‘bone yard’ for all sorts of marine monsters. The theory is well supported by the large number of fossil remaing found imbedded in the rock, such as sharks’ teeth, skeletons, more or less perfect, of the lower crustacea, shells, etc. The action of the sea-water must have cemented the phos- phatic elements of these dead fishes into the form in which it now is mined. 1 have at home some sharks’ teeth three and four inches broad at the base, nearly five iches long and quite an inch thick, taken from these deposits. You may Judge trom this what terrible water wolves: used to patrol our Carolina harbors before man came into fashion. We have in Charleston har- bor now some big ‘man-eaters,’ but they are minnows compared with what their ancestors inust have been.” “‘How is the rock treated to fit It for use?” asked one of the party. “Itis taken to one of the seven big grind- ing mills along the banks of the river, and crushed by stainps into lumps as big as marbles, and then ground in steel mandrels until it be- comes as impalpable as the finest flour. Then, as chemists consider that it adds to the strength of the fertilizing properties. the dust is treated toa bath of sulphuric acid, and 1s again ground until it becomes dry.” “Tt must take a bie lot of acid?” “Yes, I should think It did’ But every fac- tory manufactures its own acid. They have im- mensely lofty buildings near their mills, wherein colossal lead-lined chambers, superheated fumes from burning sulphur are cooled and condensed into sulphuric acid. These acid works are in- teresting places to visit, but are no fit places for ladies. Against my better judgment I once consented to pilot a company of ladies through oue of these works. I warned them beforehand that they would runa risk of suffocation from inhaling the fumes, and asked as a special favor that they go clad in old dresses. But no; they treated my advice with the usual contempt of women fors man’s superior wisdom, and went in all thelr customary tinery, flounces and fur- belows. ‘Well, they professed to enjoy their trip very highly and to be deeply interested in everything they saw. But I took notice that they held their noses as they passed through the mills, and ralcly gasped for breath while in the acid works. ‘hen they left the latter place their appearance was enough to make the angels weep. All their many colored ribbons and feath- ers and what not were bleached to a dirty white, and several fine dreseas were utterly ruined.

Turning to Mr. Fawcett’s report for the year ending March last we find the usual narrative of steady development. The circulation of let- ters has Increased at about thesame ratio asthe Population; that of post-cards, as was the case last year also, rather more rapidly. The total number of letters delivered during the year ex- ceeded 1,280,000,000, while the number of post cards was 144,000,000. It is interesting, as bear- ing upon the state of education of the country and the efficiency of the postal service, to com- ie the number ofletters head of the popu- tion now sent through the on the one hand with the number sent in former years; and on the other with that circulating in foreign coun- tries. In 1839, the herd before the introduction of the penny post,3 letters were sent per head. In the following year the number more than doubled; in 1873 it had risen to 29. and it now stands at $6. Comparing tne different divisions of the United Kingdom, Englaud is tar in ad- vance, the average number being there 41, in Scotland 31 and in Ireland 17. In Germany, onthe other band, where the -postal system is in many respects superior to our own, and where education is generally considered to be more widely di , but where the population is thinly scattered ‘over extensive districts, the average number of letters per head is, according to the best returns. available, only 13, while in France the number is 15. When we turn to telegrams we do not find the same evidence that the present system reaches tne mass of the people. The number of mes- sages sent is only 32,000,000, and the increase was a little more than a third of that of the pre- vious year. The proportion of telerams to let- ters Is not stated in the present report. but last year it was put at 1 to 44, while in the case of France It was 1 to 20; in Belgium, 1 to 24; in Holland, 1 to 22; and in Switzerland, 1 to 23. Bearing in mind the much larger correspond- ence of thiggountry, as indicated by the figures we have Just now quoted, the small use of the telegraph here, as compared with the continen- tal countries, shows that the service is of a far less popular charactor. It isto-be hoped that the promised reduction of the minimum charge to 6d., to which Mr. Fawcett alludes, will re- dress this anomaly in the postal system. A Lesson in Horse Management. ‘From the Stock Journal. Young man,1 see you are about to takea drive this morning, and will offer you some ad- vice. Your horse is restive and wants to be off before you are ready; you may as well break him of this now as at any other time, and here- after you will find that it has been a half hour well spent. Just give me the reins, while you put your foot onthe step, as if to get in; the horse makes a move to go; I tighten the reins and say ‘‘whoa.” Now put your foot on the step again; the horse makes another move; I hold the reins and speak to him again. The horse is getting excited. Pat hima little on the neck and talk to him soothingly. Put your foot on the step again, and repeat this process until the horse will stand still for you to get in and adjust yourself in your seat and tell him to (0. A few such lessons will train him so that fie will always walt for order before Spline Now, as your horse has just been fed, drive him at avery gentle pace for the first two or three miles, until he warms up and his body be- comes lighter. But, before you start, let me show you how to hold the reins. Take them in your left hand, have them of equal length from | the bit, and’ to cross each other in your hand, the off side one resting on your first finger, the other on the fourth finger. the back of the hand upward. Now, in guiding the horse, you have only to use the wrist joint, which will direct him elther right or left, as you wish. Keep your hand steady, with a gentle pressure, on the bit—no jerking or switching of the reins. If more speed is wanted, take the whip in your right hand, to be gently used for that purpose; be careful not to apply it any harder than is necessary to bring him up to the required speed. Speak to him soothingly, and intimate in the most gentle manner what you want him to do, and he will try todo it. So noble an animal should not be handled roughly nor over- driven. When you return haye the harness removed at once, and the horse rubbed down witha wisp of straw or hay. Give him a bite of straw or hay, and let him cool off before being watered orfed. Every one who handles a horse, or has anything to do with one, should in the firs! “plate cultivate his acquaintance; let him know ‘tnat'you are his friend, and prove it to him by your kind treatment; he needs this to inspire confidence, and when that is gained he is your humble servant. If your horse gets frightened at any unusual sight or noise, do not whip him, for if you do he will connect the whipping with the object that alarmed him, and be afraid of it ever after. If he merely shies at an object, give him time to examine it, which, with some encouraging words from the driver, will persuade him to pass it. You get frightened, too, sometimes, and would not like to be whipped for it. ee The Delights of Country Lite, From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette. “Hello, Mr. Spivkins, moving again?” “Yes, you see me here amid the debris of a once happy home,” replied Spivins. “But my wife called the dance, 80 I grabbed thecoal scut- tle and swung in for another cotillion with the farniture van.

From the Cincinnati Saturday Night. When Enoch Arden came home after that memorable and disastrous voyage which ship- wrecked him and his hopes he crept up the street to his old home, as Tennyson intorms us, and looked in the window. There he saw Philip Ray and Annie, his wife, and their child, all seated around the hearth cracking walnuts. The whole bitter truth came _ him with terrible forve. Annle, supposing Enoch to be dead, had married Philip, so as to have a home for herself and child and a man about the honse in case of tramps. It was a sad coming | back for Enoch, and he was mad about it. Not ®0 much because Philip had married his wife, | for there were plenty more wives to be had; not because his child had learned to cal another man *pa,” though that was a bitter pill, inasmuch as the child looked a little like Philip anyhow. Neither of these things worried him half 60 | much as to note that Philip was wearing his (Enoch’s) clothes. With a menacing gesture | Enoch was Just about to dash iuto the house and annihilate them, when suddeniy the anger in his countenance was supplanted by a look of terror and he sunk away as silently as he had | come. He had caught sight of Annie's mother, who during Enoch’s absence had broken u housekeeping and come over to live with her daughter, and had become a fixture there. Enoch told some of the boys afterward that it was the narrowest escape ot his life, and hat he would rather be shipwrecked every es minutes than to encounter his mother-i wr. —_—_—__-+-—____ ‘Two Women. | From the Boston Traveller.
