Engenic im Her Home at Farnborough. Lendon correspondence of the New York Sun. The imperial residence of Farnborough has quite lately &wakened from its mournful repose to welcome young Prince Victor, who came to England to be present at the commemoration of the fatal day of June which cloged the last chap- ter of the Napoleonic dynasty. He was per- suaded to proiong his visit, and it is said that the simple, frank good nature of the son of Princess Clotilde, -the cousin of the king of he heir apparent of her own son, made so favorable an impression on the Empress Eugenie that she has actuaily signed the docu- ments which bequeath to him at her death that same large estate of Farnborough, with all its rare and historical coltection of souvenirs of the empire and a not inconsiderable portion of her private fortune. This gift would in a measure explain and justify the independent attitude | taken within the last few days by the young oleon. rnborough ie an extensive domain in Hampshire, easy of access from London by rail and not # mile distant from the camp of Alder- shot, yet lying in the midst of a perfectly rural, somewhat wild district among the pines, and surrounded by atract cf gorse and heather. The mansion, of no particular style, seems merely the agglomeration of different buildings ; THE WEDDING BING. Seme Information abeut Getting Mar- ried im England. ALLondon letter to the Hartford Times says: Getting married being so much more pleasant an operation than being either born or buried, I have reserved my notes on this subject for a climax. To begin with, I think it would be safe to say that no woman was ever wedded in Eng- Jand, or would ever think of being, witnont a ring. This emblem on the third finger of the left hand is the universal badge of the connu- blal state and the absence of it the universal sign of single blessedness. A lady who has been twice married will usually wear both wedding rings. Married American ladies, who come over here minus this outward mark of their relation, are often looked upon by English matrons with suspicion. Another remarkable thing about English mar- riages is that they are nearly all celebrated in some place of worship, and nearly all, too, betore 12 o'clock ofthe day. To get married at any other hour, and in any other place than in a chureh or chapel, or the register’s office, a special license. costing $150, must be procured. An ordinary license, which confers only the privilege of getting married witnout a previous publication of the “banns,” costs €25. As a muatter of course this expensive method of get- ting spliced is a luxury left to the enjoyment of both pseudo Norman and Gothic, so much af-| the rich and few, the many going through the fected in this country. The beams and bricks are partly hidden by trailing roses and creepers, while a new wing contains the dining hall. ‘The irregular roofs and gables and the whole char- acter of the house give it far more the aspect of belonging toa wealthy commoner than of a princely abode. A splendid avenue of stalwart trees leads np to the principal entrance and to the grounds of great beauty, with French gar- dens and stiff yews similar to those of Ver- sallles, On one of the terraces, surrounded by flowers, stands a fine marble statue of the Premier Consul. The conservatories and green- houses are splendid, and at the furthest ex- | tles must be exhibit tremity of the ‘k lies a lake of some ten acres, beyond which stretches out the forest. This spot the Empress calls ler Compiegne, aud it affords the imperial visitors excellent shooting. Eugenie did not leave Chislehurst to fly from the ever present memory of the double tragedy that darkens her life. That grief is with her always. She is having a magnificent chapel and monastery crected in her new abode, where the mortal remains of her son will be deposited by those. of his father. The familiar atmosphere surrounds her at Farnborough as at Camden In entering the long gallery and recep- tion rooms on Map Aap floor the rare visitors meet with many of the objects of art and inter- est which they knew so well in France, and which the empress has gradually collected once more around her, sometimes at the cost of long and expensive lawsuits. Some of those bronzes were at Fontainebleau. This inlaid cabinet | comes from the villa at Biarritz; these minia- tures from St. Cloud. At the extremity of the | centrul hall is the sanctuary consecrated to the | Prince Iwperial. It is the fac simile of the apartment prepared at Chiselhurst for the re- turn of the young officer. His bereaved mother has placed there his own particular furniture, his books, his favorite weapons. There, too, hangs the life-size portrait of him by the Vien- nese artist Cannon, and the two pictures by Pro- tals—one representing the Prince standing alone, forsaken, and boldly fronting the Infu- riated armed savages; the other showing him lying dead in the tall grasses. The establishment ia on a moderate scale. The stables contain but few horses, among them the | cig driven by the empress herself and the orse she brought over from the Cape.

They are under the superin- tendence of old Ullmann, who since 1856 had never lett the prince—a most picturesque and touching figure. Ullmann is the type of those trusty retainers who in France made depend- ence as great as nobility. He belongs to that : long line of faithful servants who fullowed their masters into exile, shared their prison, their | poverty, sometimes their death, or jealously | guarded their property during the emigration, | heroic and humbie, sublime and ignored. never wavering from their allegiance, and perpetu- sting through centuries the heredity of their devotion as unoroken and not less gloriou’ than the heredity of name and rank whi y served. Ulimann is of the race of Noel Joie fait Peur,” but less fortunate. He could not bring back into his mother’s arms the son she knew was kliled. Even now, talking ot his young master’s death, his hands are clenched, and tears of despair well to his eyes. Very few people resided permanently at Cam- den House, and the number has not been in- creased at Farnborough. The Duc de Bassano. courtier of misfortune as others are of prospet ity; Mme. Le Breton Bourbaki, sister of the ei ral and constant companion of the empress for the last fourteen years, and Monsieur Frances- chini Pietri, private secretary. exclusively com- pose the small household. ‘The duke, in spite of his great age, frequently visits | France.

Corvisart, still in mourning for her father, the most celebrated of the empe- Tor’s physicians, has for the last few monthadwelt entirely at Farnborough. Beyond the rare visits paid by Eugenie to her “friend and cousin” Vic- toria, those she occasionally receives from Prince Repoleen Prince Victor, the Duc and Duchesse de Mouchy, and the Aguado family, her solitude is almost unbroken. She has not put aside her mourning, which she will wear, no doubt, to her dying or. but she doea not expect or wish other to do the same; on the contrary, she pre- aud elegant costumes. It brings back fleeting and attractive memories of that world so ardent | in the pursuit ot pleasure, of the time when her “Mondays” united all the votaries of fashion, of the charades and stag hunts of Complegne, of the daya when Winterhaiter painted her the fairest among the fair women of her court, evok- | ing a vision of the Decameron in the middle of the nineteenth century.

A fort- night after the interview his property was ad- vertised for sale. ———_—_-e.—_____ ‘When “Lady,” when “Woman.” From the Pall Mall Gazette, What distinction should be made between the terms “‘Jady” and “woman?” This question arises not unfrequently in London, where in the slums every costermonger’s wife is described as the be next door,and in France it is at pres- ent one of the vexed questions of the day. = is said, no longer acknowledge the word lady. With them every member of the other sex is always woman; while the squires of the provinces are offended !t their wives are called women. Where, then, should the line be drawn? It would sound .etrange to say “the women of the baliet,” or“the women of the corps diplomatique;” but it would be equally unfamiliar to say “a virtuous lady,” or “a pretty lady.” Iftown and country cannot agree on the point It would perhaps be well that the ordinary process of having the banns announced. This {8 done by the clergyman, who declares, in making his notices at the morning service, that 60 and so, and go and so are about to become husband and wife, winding up by calling upon any one who may know of any lawful impediment to fhe union to declare the same or forever there- after hold his peace. The banns must be published thus on three successive Sundays. Then the wedding can take Laer In the case of dissenters who pur- pose being married tn their chapel, the names, ages, residence, occupations, etc., of the par- for three weeks at the office ot the registrar for the dietrict, and to make the chapel marriage valid the registrar Must be present at the ceremony. Considering that nothing of the kind is required at church weddings, this isa ‘fees injustice to dissenters, and doubtless it will soon be done away with. The registrar is competent to tte the knot him- self, and is the only pereon, outside of the min- istry, who enjoys this privilege. Tn wishing the couple good luck, the old cus- tom atill prevails of throwing a slipper or old shoe after them when on the way to the charch— this, however, being varied in some places by strewing rice before them. It is nothing unu- sual for protests to be made when the banns are published. The objection is made in public, and the clergyman hears the statement or cause in the vestry at the close of the service. Most frequently it is the parents who object, but oc- casionally cases of a different kind occur. At achurch near Manchester, a few Suhdays ago, the banns of marriage were being published for the “third time of asking,” when a gentle- man arose in @ conspicuous part of the congre- gation and sald, according to the usual form, “I forbid the banns.” Subsequently, it transpired that the man who had been “asked” was 62 years of age. The woman, who was 45, had eee nursed him through an illness, and had ordered the publication of the banns without his consent. her object in thus attempting to force him into matrimony being to get posses- ston of the old gentleman's property. The wed- ding, I need scarcely add, did not come off. aio pac Right and Lert, From the British Medical Journal. M. Delaunay, of Paris, has made an extended and careful investigation to ascertain if in the majority of cases the right upper and ‘ower ex- tremity be crossed over the left or the left over the right, and which side most persons incline to when in the sitting posture. According to M. Delaunay certain breeds of dogs, terriers, Newfoundlands and poodles cross the right foot over the teft. The Chinese and Japanese cross the left over the right; Europeans cross the right over the left. M.' Delaunay observed, In the “creches and salle d’asiles,” that infants un- der three years of aze cross the left arm over the right, older children crossing the right over the left, sixty per cent doing so at six years of age. Robust children cross the right arm over the left; the idiotic and weak, including those who are incapable of working, cross the left over the right. The Calmucks and Arabs cross the right over the left, like the Europeans. A great many women cross the left leg over the right. Among the opera dancers aome cross the right Jeg over the left, but not one the left over the right; the majority cross the left over the right or the right over the left indifferently. Robust children cross the right leg over the left earlier than their weaker playmates. Persons who cross the right leg over the left lean toward the left when sitting; those who place the left uppermost lean to the right. Hence, consistently with what might have been expected from what 1s observed in childern with regard to crossing legs, until six years ot age childern lean toward the right, and after- ward toward the left. French schoolinasters, it would appear, try to prevent their’ pupils from assuming this position, belleying that scoliosis results; hence they encourage or enforce the use of elbow-rests (accoudoirs), which oblige the children to sit straight, a useless measure according to M. Delaunay, as the position they choose is in conformity with the process of evo- lution. Tailors afirm that the ‘k of a pair of trousers is always more worn on the left side than onthe right. Left-handed people always sit toward the right. M. Delaunay concludes from these observations that the left brain de- velops previously to the right, and finally the right predomtpates. ————— Traveled Pins. From the Albany Evening Journal. As the umbrella is the property of the com- munity in general, so is the coupling-pin the property of railroads in common. There is one difference, however. While few people who possess umbrellas buy them, each railroad has to supply its quota of iron pins. A promiscuous pile of musty coupling-pins lying against a shed under the bridge which spans the network of tracks at West Albany, attracted the attention of a Journal reporter. Some were short, others long; some were round, others flat. Shoulders were wrought on some, others ‘had tops flat- tened out. A few had eyes on top, and others again had a short handle formed of a thinner band of metal. No two of the pins were exactly alike. Looking about the tracks the reporter noticed that at short intervals were scattered other ping, ‘Do you pretend to keep thecoup- ling pins of the different roads apart?” was asked of a brakeman who stood near by. ‘No; why do you ask? Just for curiosity, hey? There are any quantity of them, I can tell you. We eep all kinds on hand. There are so many different makes of buinpers that we are com- ‘lied to have all descriptions on hand. Some yumnbers have an oblong hole inthem. In these we cannot use a round pin. Then again we can't use the flat pins In around hole.” “You know the makes of the various roads, don't you?” queried the reporter. “We become ac- quainted from seeing them so often,” was the Teply. ge “Some roads," -continned the brakeman, “haye their pins stamped with their initials, but it’s of no use. We never look to see whether a pin belongs to this road or that. but take the first. one we think will fit the bumper. A few roads have their pins fastened with a chain, but it won't save the pin. The chain gets broken’ and away it goes. It I remember aright, the Central tried this plan. It would not work satisfactorily and nine times out of ten the brakeman would use a loose pin, and allow that on the chain to dangle onthe journey. Some roads don’t put enough tron in their pins, for they bend-when they get on the forward cars of a long train. Of course it isnot always the fault ot the pin, but sometimes the defect is in the bumper. Not a few pinstravel a great distance? Well, I should say they did.

The pins are drop; on the or put on cars of other trains going and, farther or in another direction. They keep transferred so that they stray from home an never get back in. I would not be afraid to wager that lots of pins made in the Central shops have been used by the road in the first instance on an out-going train, and have never come back again, but been worn out by other roads. We use the pins of the different roads in the same way—I'm off, here comes work for me,” and jumping on a section of moving cars being French Academy should speak a decisive wi and lay down rules forthe correct use of the disputed terms. ————_——.-—___.

Correspondence. The accelerated raphitty: of motion is hurling the season on its ve nous career, with ever- increasing impetus. king the pace, swerv- ing from the track, escaping from the gear of the panting machine, has beeome as impossible asfor an exhausted‘ swimmer to breast the stream. The unstemmed current whirls along with resistless force, carrying onward a jaded, worn and breathless erowd. No amuusement is ended, no spectacle fully seen, no performance attended to the close; 4 morsel here, a chip there, a taste, a look, a passing contribution, and on, on to something else, in everlasting rotation. “The dead ride fast.” says the legend. The living phantoms go faster still, bearing, how- ever, a strange resemblance. to the welrd and ghostly horsemen. Through all the excitement, the turmoil,the feasting and riding and driving, the rushing to and fro, their faces wear a gort ofweary impnssibility, of mechanical adapta- tion to their turroundings, an automatic atten- tion; thelr absence of mind 1s imperfectly dis- guised under the artificial smile and languid courtesy. They move, come, go, listen and re- appear in their faultless drees and sumptuous equipments, as if ina miesmeric trance, uncon- sciously, as it were, actors in a saturnalia which they do not understand. The laugh is forced, the talk thin, the wit bald, the flirting shadowy. ‘The tones are low and weary, the accent monot- onous, the gaze wandering, the smile vacant. The bodily presence Is there—a perfect, ele- gant, correct presentment of man or woman of the world; hands are pressed in seeming cor- diality, polite inquiries, congratulation or con- dolence is exchanged, but no serious, lasting meaning is attached to either formula. Poll- tics becomes along-drawn thread of personal abure, art the pedestal for a protege, sclence a name to be eschewed till the winter, ecandala mere pimiento to touch up the tasteless condi- ments. They move like opium eaters, com- pelled by the recurring excitement of the drug to an involuntary exaltation, and when that ex- altation varies with the hot rays of the summer sun, they awake from it and put away the hallu- cinations It has evoked. The pneumatic high pbbeard which bard live exhausts intelligence, eart, eoul and health. Dumpy Wemen. From the London Lancet, Women, especially those of the upper classes, who are not obliged to keep themselves in con- dition by work, lose after middle age, sometimes earller, a considerable amount of their height, not by stooping, as men do, but by actual col- lapse, sinking down, mainly to be attributed to the perishing of the muscles that support the frame, in consequence of habitual and constant preseure of stays and dependence upon the arti- ficial support by them afforded. Every girl who ‘wears stays that press upon these muscles and restrict the free development of the fibers that form them, relieving them from their natural duties of supporting the spine, indeed incapaci- tating them from so doing, may feel eure she is preparing herself tobe a dumpy woman. A great pity! Failure of health among women when the vigor ot youth passes away is but too patent and but too commonly caused by this practice. Let the man who admires the plece of pipe that does duty for the human body plc- ture to himself the wasted form and seamed skin. Most women, from long custom ot wear- ing these stays, are really unaware how much they are hampered and restricted. A girl of twenty, Intended by nature to be one of her finest specimens, gravely assures one that her staye are not tight, belng exactly the same size as those she was first put into, not perceiving her condemnation in the fact that she has since grown five Inches in height andtwo in shoulder breadth. Her stays are not too tight, because the constant pressure has prevented the natural develop- ment of the heart and lung space. The dainty waist of the poets is precisely that flexible slimness that {a destroyed by stays. The form resulting from them {8 not slim, but a piece of pipe and as inflexible. But, while endeavoring to make clear the outrage upon practical good sense and sense of beauty, itis necessary to un- derstand and admit the whole state of the case. The reason, if not a necessity, for some sort of corset, may be found when the form is very redundant; this, however, can not be with the very young and slight, but all that necessity could demand and that practical good sense and fitness would concede, could be found ina strong elastic kind of Jersey, sufficiently strong, and even stiff, under the bust to support it, and suf- ficiently elastic at. the sides and back ‘to injure no organ and impede no functions. Even in the case of the young and slight an elastic band under the false ribs would not be injurious, but perhaps the contrary, serving as a constant hint to keep the chest well forward and the shoulders back; but every stiff. unylelding ma- chine, crushing the ribs and destroying the fiber of muscle, will be fatal to health, to freedom of movement and to beauty; it 1s scarcely too much to say that the wearing of such amounts to stupidity In those who do not know the conse- quences (for over and over again warning has been given) and to wickedness in those who do. —— A Blunder in Giving Dinners, From the Caterer. The same generous impulse that creates the dinner giver often causes him to blunder in the manner ot his dinner giving. Expense, of course, issomething that must be expected and can't be avoided: yet, where this is unnecessarily lavished upon an overprofusion of dishes, the policy is not to be commended; and this is true whether the party be a large or small one, It is all very proper for the host to have a well- marked suM ciency, for to have less would be to broadly Insult those whom he has invited to his table. But to follow up course after course, each one more attractive than its predecessors, and all too tempting to be resisted, Is not the plan to be adopted if he desires toreach the reputation of successful dinner-giver. And the reason is plain. A guest may owe his pres- ence not to any particular friendship the host may have for him, but to a certain qualification he may possess—wit, perhaps, or general con- versatlonal powers, or other attribute fitting him for such an occasion. Now these may be entirely upset by over-indulgence, elther in eat- ing or drinking, or, at least, they may be so clogged and smothered under the load as to show nothing deserving the invitation they had caused their possessor to obtain. It may be said that diners should know when to stop, unless they are beasts and not men. There may be force in this proposition, yet one may be lured beyond the bounds of prudence by arultiplicity of dishes so tempting In their excellence asto be irresistible, and yet be a man, and nota beast either. A skiliful cook can inake aman hungry and keep him so until he has swallowed his last mouthful, and then tantallze him with delicacies which he will long for with eagerness and yet have no further ca- acity to accommodate. The dinner-giver, if he Bers cuieav ones will Inok to this, especially if brilliancy in his guests be an object with him. The corking process answers well enough in reserving the life and sparkle of wine, but it E death to the exuberance of wit, To Measure the Height of a Tree. From the Youth’s Companion, There is a very simple way of measuring the height ofa tree which can be practiced by any one on a sunny day orin bright moonlight. All the apparatus that Is necessary is a straight stick of any length. Draw a circle with a radius (half the diameter) of a little leas than the lengtn of the stick. This will be done by holding one end of the stick, say two Inches from its end, and moving the other end around, making the circle with a knife ora chip., Then place the stick inthe ground exactly in the center of the circle, perfectly upright, and press it down until the height of the stick is exactly the same as the radius of the circle. Whenthe end of the shadow of the stick exactly touches the cir- cle then also the shadow of the tree will be exactly in length the same measurment as its height. Of course, in such a Case, the sun will be atan exact angle of 45 degrees. leasure- ments of this character can be best effected in the summer, when the sun Is powerful, and has Teached to a good height in the heavens, and when the trees are clothed with living green so as to casta dense shadow. To many to whom this idea may not have occurred it it be made annually a matter of fnterest thus on warm summer days to take the helght of promi- Rent trees, end so to compare growth from year year, SUMMER RESORTS.
