Eyen the Mother Hubbard dressis not out ot place intheae eyries, and it is quite in order fora Lal retty and sanitary dress to be invented tor the ee residents of these modern dweilings in the air. GARNETS FROM BOHEMIA. Garnets have not heretofore held very high rank as jewelry, except in the eyes of those who own exceptionally fine specimens, or ladies to whom their rich half hidden color is especiaily becoming. But they have certainly of late acquired a new interest. Their possibilities are beginning to be better understood, and their | pecnniary value has been greatly’ enhanced simply by new and artistic treatment. The old style of setting garnets robbed them of half | their beauty. The stones were cut onone side only. and set with solid background, which rendered them durable but ineflective. The new styles show the stones cut on both sides and set clear, so that the refractory power is doubled, while the contrasts effected by the use of stones of different sizes, the alternation of grains of gold with grains of garnet, in the execution of fine work, and in the “effects” produced by sur- face aud two-sided cuttings placed in artistic juxtaposition, are as novel us they are striking. The new patterns, too, which have followed the traditions for so long a time, are modern and in excellent taste. The bands for the throat, formed of several rows of garnets of the same size cut on both sides and out visible setting, are r can be readily taken apart aud made to serve as bracel Bracelets in single rows are preferred by some, however, while tor others there are broad bands, which combine the latest ideas, aad are costly and elaborate pleces ot workmanship. The pins show many of the lovely leaf, flower and other designs which haye been adopted of late In fancy jewelry, but many think the simp- ler straight and rectangular forms better suited to the somewhat limited and severe field which garnets occupy. It must be admitted, however, that, cut and set according to modern ideas, dition to a brunette’s jewel box. OTHER JEWELRY.

A little vine of the same surrounded | the neck, and the pretty and graceful ornament- | ation was repeated at the top of the sleeve in diagonal lines and at the wrists. Abrown woolen traveling dress was accor- | dion pleated and had a draped oyerskirt, the | apron pointed at one side and laid in diagonal | folds. This as well as the facket bodice was stamped with brown leather in a scroll pattern outlined with gold and chenille so fine as to be | | barely visible. A stamped vest of soft leather | accompanied it and each was quite Independent | of the costume. There were several independent ) irr room there vests and Jackets—one of the latter, braided | across the front and trimmed with Astrachan cloth te match. There were also several hats very simple but very styl- h. A habit of dark heather green cloth was re- | marked as being exceedingly plain and with a yery short skirt. What length there was, and it was only enough to cover the feet, was ed up ut the side for walking, and gave enouzh of fulness and folds to save it from absoluteseverity. The budice was outlined by | a band set on to the edge and shaped over the hi the back showing an inverted piait | instead of the usual coat shape, A small roll- chhas held its place | A high silk nat was sent with the habit, below which the hair must be massed at the nape of the neck The finish, the workmanship of this entire | assemblage or tailor-made gowns was perfec- tion, jd the work upon them of the finest.

These ignorant | workers, who could not earn a living if women were trained to accuracy, and to know a good thing when they see it, are responsible for much of the minor misery of the world, and, fortu- nately for themselves, never can know all the irritation, discomfort. und nervous anxiety they | cause. It is only of late years that even intelli- | gent women bezin to realize how much sweet | temper, charm of manner in society, freedom i from embarrassment and the “divine sense” of | harmony, which belong to some women, depend | upon the gentle influence of a well-cut and well- made gown, free trom the too much or too little, which seems, in short to belong to its wearer— to have grown upon her. There is no question astothe great improvement which has taken place of late years, and it is all owing to the fact that women who think at all are beginning | to think out the question of dress for them- selves and apply to it the common sense they | are accustomed to bring to bear on otherthings. THR MOTHER-HUBBARD DRESS. Several correspondents have written asking an opinion onthe Mother-Hubbard gown, and | tbe reason for the disfavor with which it has | been treated. The general sentiment on the part of these ladies is in its favor, and one re- marks that it is “modest, convenient and sani- tary,” and she hopes never to be without one or more tor underwear. This sentiment is cordial- | ly endorsed. The objection made to the Mother | Hubbard, and the storm of criticism it has ex- | cited in’ some places, and on the part of some | persons who know nothing and usually care less about dress has been caused by the ignorance and folly of some young women who take a sim- | ple loose gown, only suitable for the house, | make it up in thin, perhaps transparent mate- | rial, and parade it in the street. This was done | last summer in town and city streets, and one could but respect the feeling that prompted in- dignant fathers to make a public protest against | The dress demanded for the street nowadays is close, dark, unobtrusive. Even in warm weather a soft color or shade of color 1s chosen, nothing striking or that can be blown about by the wind. Beited in and made of close material, the Mother Hubbard wouid not be objectionable | for the street on the score of indelicacy, but the general sense requires a neat fitted garment which has not so much the appearance of dis- hatalle and informality, and there is no reason | Should be outraged in this way more than in | otier things. There is nothing absolutely wrong in carrying an apple and munching it in the street, but no lady would think of doing it. It ought to be understood that because a design cbtains a certain vogue it is not evi- dence that it is adapted to all purposes and all occasions, or that the one new dress of the sea- son must be made up by it. Women of taste strictly adapt the style of their dress to its purpose, and mark the differences as distinctly as possible. The house dress, the walking dress, the full evening dress, the dinner dress, the theater dress, oI pron mn . oo acter of its own, and is Instantly recogni 1 the initiated as if it were labelled. A new element has entered recently into the dress of our large cities which must be taken | into account. A new class of structures have sprung up, of enormous size and height, which contain hundreds of “apartments,” each one as roomy as a smal! house, and many of them lifted above the nolse and tumult of city streets into the upper air over tye heads and over the roofs of ordinary morfils. Here thousands dwell who formerly lived in close rooms or | hived in boarding houses. Not “poor” people by any means, but artists, cashiers, professional men and women, and those who earn a living by the new decorative arts. This mode of living reduces the number of women who used to have to walk in the streets for their breath of tresh air for the little change in the monotony of their daily lives; and being all the time in sight, on the street or at the boarding house table, their dingy suit of woolen or well-worn silk became as fatailiar as car tracks. But now, as before remarked, many of these women have been taken out of this dead-level, aro inhsbitants of an altogether new world, 2ad no longer need the excitement of the streets and sidewalks—haye, in fact, an absolute dis- | may be said to have ever begun. It is not pos- ‘sible at this period to reintroduce the essen- tiaily vulgar, especially in ornaments. There is a strong feeling, especially among men, to dis- countenance the showy, the loud, the large and the obtrusive. It is evidence of bad breeding, | of inferior associations, and as they buy nearly all the jewelry that is worn by women there is little danger of the old-time manacles and cable chains returning. Moreover, jewelry is not now rnin the street by any Wwoma © Or old, who knows how to dress, Even the lace and the lace pin have disappeared from the throat, a collar stud being the only ornament visible, and this is put to a very good use, say- ing many pins and much wear and tear of linen. Eyen the watch-chain has been reduced to minute proportions and hardly suggests that a watch is concealed in the inner recesses of the vest or Jacket pocket. The only jewelry al- lowed is the silver, which copies. the autique in its oxydised and antique designs, and this only looks well with the smoke-gray dresses, and the new cloudy materials which absorb the quaint bits of carved and hammered metal as if they formed a natural part of them. The Jewels worn on full dress occasions are not likely to be relinquished, but they show in- finitely more refinement than formerly in their design and style of mounting. The newest bracelet is composed of twelve Tings of alternate plain and twisted gold wire, scarcely thicker than a thread, and held close by an almost inVisible bar upon’ which gleam 12 small diamonds like points oflight. The crescent and sickle forms are in great request for diamond sets of pin and ear-rings. and feathers have real diamonds set in them for wear in the hair and for mounting upon the bodice. Pearls are very fashionable, and a pearl neck- lace of only a single row was sold recently tor $35,000, more on account of the perfect form than the size of the pearls, as many thousand would be required to select from in order to get the requisite number quite pertect in size. form and color. JENNY JUN .. Good-looking Women. From the London Truth. There are some women, very successful as such, who are notatall good looking unless when animated by pieasurable excitement. An eye which, on a sudden meeting ufter a long ab- sence, beams out a Joyous recognition, has mere witchery in it than the visage ot a Mrs. Langtry, expressing only indifference or self-conscious- ness, could have. The feeling that a new and pretty bonnet is as becoming as it can be often transfigures a commonplace young face. Some roses and lilies only charm in country environ- ments. There are English girls who are para- gons of loveliness as they return to Brighton, after a canter on the downs, but who merely pass muster in a ball room. Then there 1s the glowworm style of beauty, which only shines at night. I know a yellow-skinned, thick-lippe: pux-nosed being who has distanced some of the | handsomest women of Europe and America at festive gatherings and merry little parties, But she could only achieve this feat in artificial light, which stimulates her and gives her a pecuilar power of fascination. One then secs that she has the finest eyes In the world, and a set of teeth which in laughing brighten np her dark face. Skobeleff’s sister, who is married to the Czar’s cousin, is as far removed as Cleopatra or Salome from the Mary Anderson type of classic purity; but she is the incarnation of all the graces, and her physiognomy is eloquent in expressing poetry of feeling. Anne Boleyn had may plastic detects. The Duchess of Burgundy, who lit up, In the old age of Lewis Quatorze, the Court of Versailies, and neutralized the morose influence of Mme. de Maintenon, had a goitcous neck and decayed front teeth; yet she ‘was proclaimed a beauty, even by the bilious and censorious St. Simon. Marguerite de Valois, with whom most of the prominent Frenchmen of her day were at some time or another despe- rately in love, had heavy cheeks, like a monkey's, too prominent eyes, which were often congested, and a thick, hanging under lip. She had not the vices of the ladies of her mother’s court, though she passed for being as naughty as they were in her efforts to make conquests for the pleasure of showing she had power to con- quer. It was this royal coquette who first re- sorted to the expedient of receiving company sitting up in bed, with black satin sheetsto give value to the whiteness of her bust and arme. Her gallants used to say that had she been a shopkeeper's spouse, without any of those rich accoutrements which are broughtinto her por- traits, she would have oeen every whit as po- tent. I am skeptical in this matter, If sover- eigns hardly ever love their queens or women of princely rank, a king’s daughter who enjoys flirtation is sure to turn the heads of all her sire’s courtiers. The last Duchesse de Berri would not have been allowed to so much as compete at a beauty show had she presented herselt incognita. Sir Walter Scott, who was closeto her at mass in the Tuilleries Chapel, wrote in his diary that she was very plain, and that her eyes were not fellows. ee Marrying for Money. From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette, “Society is getting into a strange state,” sald @ very observant middle-aged lady the other day. “It seems asif every one were ‘fortune hunting’ at our best known summer resorts. I have been away all summer, and have had abundant means of studying the young people. From iny observations during the past few sea- sons I have come to the conctusion that the idea that money is the only thing in life worth living for is growing steadily year by year. Haven't you noticed how few matches have been reported as the result of the past vacation? Well, it seems to me that the first thing the girls ask nowadays when they meet a young fellow is, ‘how much money has he?’ and the young gentlemen tn their tura inquire: ‘Has She got any money?’ A week or two ago I was talking with acharming girl at Bar Harbor, and the subject turned to marriage. Her ideas on the subject were expressed with the greatest sincerity,and with an Innocence that was charm- ing. When I referred to so-called ‘marriages tor money,’ and expressed the oubion that they usually resulted unhappily, 8! exclaimed. ‘why, I should consider it an insult if any one asked me to marry him If he wasn't rich.’ This seems to be a fast-growing. if not a prevailing opinion among the youth of both sexes to-day. the mammas go to the summer resorts with the hope of making ‘good’ matches for their daugh- ters—‘good’ in a jary sense, I mean—and the girls soon imbibe their mothers ideas. “Well, how is it with the fellows? They go fortane-hunting, too. Both have an idea that by marriage they must better their flnancial condition in the world, and the result is, as 1 stated, that fewer matches are made than form- erly. It is getting co that a hundred-thousant dollar fellow hates to ‘throw himselt away’ on a ten-thousand-dollar girl, and vice versa. Each wishes to better his or her condition. Tread a few days ago of alady who said she had met sixty girls this summer who would never marry because they thought they could not wed a large quantity of money. "t it ridiculous?

Now, you just listen to me, and I'll tell you more ina second about piano selling than you know ina lifetime.” “Spiel,” sald the new man, as he composed himself to rest ona piano stool the boss had just picked out to send to a Tehama street resi- dence. “There you go,” said the boss; “don't you know that’s a $10 stool?” “Well, what if it is?” “ What if it is??” screamed the boss, break- ing a wire in the excitement of the moment; “do you suppose that $10 stools will stand sit- ting on? Now, listen to me, and I'll teach you some points about the piano business. You see, every woman knows all abouta piano. If she don’t, some one else does, or thinks so, and she is sure to tell her. There's a cool hundred dollars profit to us on a $300 piano, if we get it; but we don’t; there’s the trouble. We have to divide, just ‘the same as if we were politi- cians. A lady comes into the store and says she wants to buy a piano. After trying every instrument in the place, or having us try them, and getting all the prices, she says, ‘I'll not make up my mind to- Til get my daugh- ter's music teacher, io knows all about pianos, to come down and try them.’ Next day along comes the music teacher, with a card which says she is from the Conservatory of Mu- sic at Milan. Why, I've had cards enough of old Milaners here to fill the conservatory, let alone leave room for teachers and pupils ys, the teacher, after I'ye got over the paralyzing effect of the card, ‘I'll be down to-morrow with Mrs. So and So to pick out a plano, Of courses I pect the usual commission.’ *Yes, ma’an says I, ‘10 per cent,’ aiid away she goes. Next day the buyer and music teacher come and pick out a piano. The music teacher does some heavy standing around, tries every one opened and gives her opinion as wise asanowl. Of course, she can’t tell the difference between a good piano and a poor one.” “Of course not,” echced the new man. “Nor you either, I don’t believe,” snapped the boss, with a mean look in his face. “And why can’t you? ’Cause no one but a maker or a tuner. can. A good tuner will get thesame sound out of a $200 plano as any one can out of the best instrument made. Thatis, he willin a placeof moderate size. You can't tell anything about a piano by playing it; only whether it's in tune or not. And the more you know about playing the less you are likely to know about pianos. Yes, sir; a cheap piano will sound as well as a good one. But how long will it last? That’s the question. That's where the music teacher's fooled. She'll nose around inside and look at the hammers bobbing up and down, poke her parasol at the wires and run her fingers over the keys, and that’s all she knows about it. When she’s got through wasting our time she'll advise the lady to buy the one nearest the lady’s price, quarrel with me about getting a music stool thrown in, and that’s all. We have to give her 10 per cent tor doing that, and, besides, she'll want a commission on every bit of musi¢ the lady buys.” “Suppose you did not give up, would not the customer buy anyhow?" asked the new man. “You are a nice one, you are,” said the bors, with a look of contempt. “Buy? Suppose she did buy, and pay, too? It ‘ud be a nice thing to have on your mind, wouldn't it—to have a mad-house teacher a-hovering over your piano and giving it a black eye, and making the lady and her friends all weary of it. Fancy having a sweet thing in agingham dress saying to one of your best customers: ‘Mr. Bland didnot treat you right about that piano, ma'am. Iam sorry to say that its tone is so bad that dear Ethel’s ear is being ruined.’ The first thing yowll know the lady’ull want you to take it back. Ifyou don't you are a cheat, and she'll not only take her trade away, but she'll ruin you among her friends. You are asmart one, you are, to talk about quarreling with a musi¢ teacher. Why, I'd sooner give ‘em half the profits.” “I see, sir,” said the new man, humbly. “That's all simple,” continued the boss; “but the fine art comes in withatough customer. One that wants three half dollars for a dollar. You have got to play that kind mighty low down or some one else will catch their trade. A cheap showy plano Js the kind of thing to catch them; but you want to hold it back and seein very reluctant to sell it. Wait till they've found fault with the price or tondif nearly every instrument in the place, and then bring out your best bower, 80 to speak; but be sure and put it on the market withcare. Ask a very stiff price first. Hint that you don’t care to sellit at all, but rather than see a hated rival take trade from your store you would part with anything. If she takes the hint she'll try to beat you down a quarter or so. Meet her graduaily, fight for every dollar, and, mind you, the second she does say yes grab for the coin for fear she might change her mind.” “You can rely on that,” said theew man. “Now, about the hiring business,” continued the boss. ‘‘Here is the best part of our trade, but it needs care. A new piano, when it first goes out for hire. is worth $8 a month. One that has been used some time 1s only worth 5. But there are tricks, thauk God,” ejaculated the boss, as he tied a label bearing the name J. G.

Beautiful instrument; first prize at the Centennial.” “Looks as if it might have won a prize 100 years back,” laughed the hired man. “Yes, sir; a beauty,” continued the boss, frowning at the interruption. “Could not rent it under any circumstances, only it was sold and the lady's daughter wanted an upright, and in moving the back leg of the pianu got scratched. One of the wealthiest ladies in San Francisco, too, bought it, Of course, I could not say who. That would be unprofessional; and besides,” said the boss with a grin, ‘there ain’t no need to tell em when the name's on the label as large as life.” “There's a smart. one, but I don‘t think it's Tight for him to be a deacon of a church,” said the new man, as the boss went out to stand off a solicitor for subscriptions in ald of a consump- tive cornet playe: ——————— Salt River.

Raising an Extraordinary Question In the Pennsylvania Matrimonial Laws. From the Philadelphia Times, Proceedings will be entered in the common pleas court to-morrow on behalf ot Mrs. Jane Hall, of New York, but now residing at the White Bear hotel, on 4th street, that will raise an extraordinary question of marriage law. Mrs. Hall’s maiden name was Powell. Ten years ago she was a poor seamstress in this city. In 1876, while attending the International Ex- hibition, she was introduced to Aaron R. Hall, who owned Some property in this city anda large tract of land in Colorado of little immedi- ate but creat prog) ive value. Hall became devoted to Miss Powell, who is still uncom- monly beautiful. He proposed matrimony after a brief courtship: he was accepted and they were married. The marriage was, at Hall's re- quest, conducted secretly at the house of a gen- tleman, whom he represented to be a clergyman and a friend of his. Hall and his wite lived for a time at the Con- tinental hotel and afterwards at a boarding- house on Eighth street, below Walnut. Their life after the first few months was not a happy one. He apparaently had grown tired of her and treated her cruelly. She was introduced to some of the other boarders in the house on Eight street as Mrs. Hall, but her husband scarcely ever went out with her and never pre- sented her to any of his relatives or immediate friends. In January, 1878, he left for Colorado, for the purpose, as he said, of attending to pressing business matters there. His wife heardnothing about him from that time until last August. when she learned that in the pre- ceding May he had been thrown trom a horse near Colorado Springs and killed. She had in the meantime moved to New York and opened adress-making establishment at Twenty-third street and Sixt avenue She at once came back to this city for the purpose of protecting her dower interest in her late husband's prop- erty. She then learned that her husband had, so far as known, died intestate and that claims to his property in this state as well as to that in Colorado. that had become of considerable value, had been put in by relatives. Her claim as a wife surprised them. An investigation was set on foot and the discovery made that the marriage had been a pretended‘one and Hall's friend a counterteit clergyman. The “friend” had himself been imposed on and led to believe that the whole matter was a Jest. The fact how- ever, that the marriage was a mockery was proved beyond question. Attorney-at-Law John V. Ripperger, into whose hands the matter was put, contend however, tat, though Hall was guilty of treach- ery, he defeated his own purposes, and the marriage is. under the laws of Pennsylvania, a valid one. Marriage here, he holds, is a civil contract. and Hail, by saying that he took Miss Powell to wife, made such a contract. His i troducing her atterwards as his wife is ad=issi- ble, under the Jaws of this state, as corrobora. tive evidence of the existence of the covenant The suit to be entered to-morrow will be one te recover Mrs. Hall's dower interest in the late Aaron R. Hall's property, and will rest on tho lawyer's interpretation of the Pennsylvania law. it is said that there is no case similar to it in any of the law-reports of this state. ee eee ee SUICIDE AND Chioral, Bromide and Other Quicting Draughts Discussed, with Their Effects, From the Lancet. The circumstances attending the death of the Dean of Bangor—albett they are infinitely dis- tressing—present no novel features. The reverend gentleman was a manof considerable intellectual “power,” which is the same thing as saying that he was constitutionally lable to intervals of mental depression. All highly intellectual men are exposed to this evil. A pendulum will always swing Just as far in one direction as it does inthe other. Great power of mind implies also great weakness under ce! tain conditions. The marvel is not that great minds occasionally become deranged, but that they so often escape derangement. Sleepless ness means not merely unrest, but starvation of the cerebrum. The brain cannot recuperate, or, in other words, it cannot rest. Physiologi- cally, recuperation and rest arethe same thing. Sleep is simply physiological rest. The only cause for regret in these cases Is that the blunder should ever be committed of supposing that a stupefying drug which throw3 the brain into a condition that mimics and bur- lesques sleep can do good. It is deceptive to give narcotics in a case of this type. The stupor simply masks the danger. Better far let the insomnious patient exhaust himself than stupefy him. Chloral, bromide, and the rest of the poisons that produce a semblance of sleep are so Many snares in such cases. Sleepless- ness is a malady of the most formidable char- acter, but it is not to be treated by intoxica! the organ upon which the stress of trouble falls. Suicide, which occurs at the very outset of derangement, and is apt to appear a sane act, is the logical issue of tailure of nutrition that re- suits from want of sleep. It is curious to note how a sleepless patient will set to work with all the calmness of forethought of intelligent sanity to compass his death. He is not insane in any technical sense. He has no delusion. He does not act, or suppose himself to act, under an “Influence.” He simply wants to die, and, perhaps, not until after he has made an at- tempt to kill himself will he exhibit any of the formulated symptoms of mental disease. Count Von Moltke at Ragatz, Geneva Letter to the London Daily News, At the little village of Ragatz, situated on the Chur and Zurich line of railway, and in the Canton of St. Gall, there is sojourning at the present moment one of the greatest military ge- niuses the world hasknown. Marshal yon Moltke arrived In Switzerland a tew days ago, in order that he might take the waters of the famous Ra- gatz springs, His only retinue consisted of two soldier servants,and his personal might easily have been carried in a child's wheelbar- row. A London morning paper recently stated that the renowned German strategist was men- tallv and physically broken up. This is not the case. for, save in those signs which must accom- pany 84 years of age—he having been born on the 26th of October, 1800—Count von Moltke pre- sents no special symptoms of decay, while his intellect is clear, bright and unimpaired. A tall man, somewhat bowed. with a rugged face, keen, deep-set eyes, overhung by shaggy eye- brows, a massive forehead, and a firm, soldierly tread, von Moltke would be conspicuous even among thousands of other conspicuous figures. In his manner and habits he is as simple and frugal as was the great Duke of Wellington, and he has a horror of being made ashow of. Naturally taciturn, it is seldom he enters into conversation, especially with strangers, and meet him when you will he al- ways seems to be wrapped in thought. He rises early and goes unattended to the Quellen- hot, where the waters are drank. Having taken the first glass, as by rule prescribed, he folds his hands behind his back and paces up and down, watching with keen interest the water drinkers, and smiling occasionally as some tyro, taking his first dose, puckers his face up in disgust at the strong sulphurous fumes. These waters rise in the Pfaffer’s Gorge, three miles away. It is oneof the most remarkable gorgesin the whole of Switzerland. he furl- ous River Taming has carved a way for itself through a stupendous defile. In no place is this chasm more than twelve yards wide, while overhead the rocks meet, a few openings here and there admitting the light. Below the river boils with Incredible fury, and so ter- rifc and unearthly seems the noise, owing to the reverberations and echoes. that a visitor tor the first time can scarcely repress a feeling of alarm. On one side of this weird cavern a wooden gallery about 80yardsin length has been built; being supported by means of iron brackets let into the perpendicular wall of rock. He who would traverse this gallery with a dry skin must clothe himself from head to foot in machintosh, for the water pours down from above in endless streams, The hot springs bub- ble up from the floor of a cavern at the end of the gallery, and run into an enormousreservoir. The cavern is so hot, and the fumes of the sul- phur 80 strong, that the curious visitor, being apprehensive of asphyxia, beats aspeedy retreat. From the gorge the waters are conveyed by means of conduits to the village, and owing to the great fall and the rapidity with which the water flows It arrives at itsdestiaation with the loss of only a very few degrecs of heat. It isa birdy werfal sulphur and iron water, and is and gout. the lage of Ragets ir masnifcenty and gou! vi of is magnificently situated in ascene oftrue Alpine grandeur. It stands 1,630 feet above the and close to the*spot where the mina pours intothe Rhine. Its natural attractions and the repute of its waters annually attract about 10,000 strangers. Count von Moltke has been in the habit of visiting Ragatz for some yous He generally arrives un ly and es the plainest bedroom he can get, for any- like luxury he totally eschews. Von Moltke is an exceedingly frugal eater, wine he seldom touches, but now and again he takes a little beer. He is a good walker still, In spite of his four-score and four years. He promenades alone and without even the asaistauce of astick. His habitual attitude ts with his hands behind him. He walks slowly and with his lead slight- Jy bent forward. In the evening, after dinner, he spends an hour in the salon the Quelienbof, where dancing aud games are indulged in, and though he takes no part ho man! great in- in all that goes on. At9 o'clock he re- turns tohis hotel and halfan hous later retires for the night. —DOUBLE SHEET. SIGAOK BHIGNOLYS DEATH, Mis Last Song the “Mtscrere.” ALIFE OF, OPERATIC ADVENTURE AND TRIUMPH. From the New York Herald, Signor Pasquale Brignoli, the famous tenor, will sing no more. Unattended, save by his phy- sician, a pupil and one old friend, he died atten minutes before five o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Everett house. For three weeks be had been contined to his bed, suffering from hemor- rhage of the liver and disease of the kidney: and although he never lost hope he grew gradu- ally weaker until his death. He passed away { without a struggie and looked so natural that a fe friend who came in when he had breathed his last approached the bed and addressed to him some words of cheer. Mr. Charles A. Chizzola, Ristorf's manager,ar- Fived at the death bed of his old friend too late | to bid him a last farewell, and he was overcome | with crief. Mr. Chizzola had seen Signor Brig- noll inthe morning, but at that time there was ho intimation of the approaching end. BY THE DEAD SINGER'S SIDE. Last evening the remains of the great singer Teposed in an icebox in his little room on one of | the upper floors of the hotel. The eurround- ings were painfully plain, and in sad disconso- nance with the solemnity of the scene sat an up- right plano against the wall, upon which the deceased tenor had frequently practised before he was confined to his bed. Those who heard of Brisnoli’s death called to pay their respects to his remains, but few apparent it. Among those who called were Mr. Law, Mr. F. G. Dale, Sheldon Stephens, } Wetherell, the manager of the Emma Abbott | company, Signor Ferranti and Major Pond. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. A son and daughter in Paris are the only relatives of Siznor Brignoli, and they were cabled the news of their father's death. The last public appearance of Signor Brignoll was with the Brignoli Midsummer Night Con- cert company in St. Paul, Minn., last Aucust, when he sang the rere,” from the opera | iu which he made his first appearance, ‘Il Trova- tore.” Manager Wethereil, of the Emma Ab- bott company, wanted Signor Brignoli to sing at the opening of anew opera house in Wash- ington on the 6th of November next. THE STORY OF HIS LIFE. Signor Brignoli was born at Naples on the Ist of January, 1524, and was for years a great f vorite in the United States. He came to } York in 1 aving been engaged by Ma Maret made his first appearance in Luerezia Borgia and achieved an immediate suc- cess. He was olofthe town for years. Young, handsome and fascinating, he made friends in every quarter. He wrote’ an opera at the ag of 15. He achieved a reputation in his own coun and his fame flew over the seas. Maret- zek thought he would be a good investment aad made him a favorable offer, which he ac- cepted. The good city of Gotham went into} ecstasies over his aria: He became the rag After a sojourn of ten years among us, during which he amassed much treasure. he returned to Europe to sing with Patti. Returning two years after with Bateman and Parepa, he re- mained until 1869. His next appearance was with the Christine Nilsson troupe in 1878 and again with Titiensin 1875. It has been esti- mated that he,made half million dollars in this country. He left us in Febraary, 1879, to go to sing in Europe under Mr. Mapieson’s’ manage- ment. A rumor was abroad at that time which had it that the great tenor had been unlucky in a financial way, and that but little of his for- tune remained. —_If his money had escaped him the loss of it did not cause him much uneasi- ness. Light hearted and jovial elways, he waved his adieus from the steamer with as much empressement as if he were Caeser about to conquer a new world. It was thought that he liad abandoned us for good, but It was evi- dent that he preferred the American atmos- phere to that of Europe. He was absent only afew months, and, longing for his old haunts, returned to this city. This was by no means strange. Here were his trlends, and here was the scene of his early triumphs, It was here that he met Miss McCullough, who became his wife in 1870 and who, unable to tolerate the | peccadilloes of her husband, procured a divorce after nine years of wedded life. She was a charming young lady and a singer with a sweet voice when she was married. Brignoli was liked by the great singers with whom he ap- peared. PERSONAL TRAITS. He was fond of exhibiting a pair of sleeve buttons with the letter “B” in blazing diamonds, a gift from Nilsson, and a scarf pin of pearls of different colors, a present from Patti. He was very superstitious, having a horror of the num- ber thirteen. To such an extent did he carry out his hatred of this number that he would not commence a journey, sign a contract or take the prime step in any business on the 18th of the month. Friday he regarded with great sus- picion, nor would he make his first appearance on that day in any place. He also made it a point of running against any hunchback he hap- pened to meet and rubbing his hump for good luck. In his day he was known as Brignoli the silver voiced. He took great care of his voice and maintained its power and sweetness far beyond the age when tenors as a rule succumb. In New York he was a well known figure, a delightful companion and a genial bon vivant. Preserving his jaunty air almost to the last and his inimitable walk, no man had more friends than he. ee “A GENTLEMAN,” A Few Useful Hints for Young Men. From “The Mentor," by Alfred Ayres. HOW TO WALK. If a man would appear like a gentleman, he must walk, stand, and sit like one. In walking he should, above all, avoid everything that is unnatural or that smacks of self-consciousness. How often do we see men In the street whose every movement tells us thelr minds are chiefly on themselves! One throws his chest out a la dindon, while another walks with an abnormal stoop; but both delight in a kind of rolling, swaggering galt and an unnatural sewing of the arms. We all know, when we see such a man, no matter what his appearance in other respects may be, that he isa person of low breeding. Not only is a man’s walk an index of hia char- acter and of the grade of his cultare, but it is also an index of the frame of mind he is in. There is the thoughtful walk and the thought- less walk, the responsible walk and the careless walk, the worker's walk and the idler’s walk, the ingenuous walk and the insidious walk, and soon. Ina word, what there is in us we all carry in essentially the same way; hence the surest way to have the carriage of gentility is to have gentility to carry. MAKING 4 BOW. In public the bow is the proper mode of salu- tation, also under certain circumstances in pri- vate, and, according to circumstances, it should be familiar, cordial, respectful or formal. An inclination of the head or a gesture with the hand or cane suffices betweenmen, except when one would be specially deferential to age or sition; but in saluting a lady the hat should teteanveaseal very common mode of doing this in New York, at present, particularly by the younger men, is to Jerk the hat off and sling it on as hastily as possible. As haste is incompatible with grace, and as there is an old pantomimic law that “every picture must be held” for a longer or shorter time, the jerk-and- sling manner of removing the hat, in saluta- tion, is not to be commended. The empresse- ment a man puts into his salutations is gradu- ated by circumstances, the most deferential manner being to carry the hat down the full length of the arm, keeping it there until the person saluted has passed. If a man stops to speak to a lady in the street he should remain uncovered, unless the conversation should be protracted, which it is sure not to be, if either of the parties knows and cares to observe the proprieties. A well-bred man, mecting a lady in a public place, though she is a near relative—wife, mother or sister—and though he may have parted from her but half an hour before, will salute her ey. as he would lute a mere acquaintance, passers-by are ant of the relationship, and to them ia Ooo: ential manner says: ‘She is a lady.” RULES FOR INTRODUCTIONS, If you meet an acquaintance in the street when you are walking with afriend, do not in- troduce them; nor should you ever introduce people in public places, unless you have good reason to believe that the introduction will be a ant person to associate with. fn introducing ee es er, an the gentleman to the lady. 4 A PUBLIC NUISANCE. Another disagreeable habit is that of gcing about singing, humming, or whistling. The man that habitually does either of these, either in the street—-no matter what the hour—in the halls of hotels, as he goes up and down stairs, orin his own apartments, when there is any one within heating, has the manners of a boor, and deserves the calavoose for disorderly con- SMOSING AS A GENTLEMAN. There is uo one thing, perhaps, in which the difference between the well-bred man and the ill-bred man more appears than tn the manner in Which, the place where, and the time when they smoke. The well-bred man does not smoke, nor does he seem to smoke, to show off, whereas the ill-bred man very often emokes Im & seli-conscious manner that seems to ook at me! see Low skilfully my lips hold thie cizar; how Tecan shift it from one side of my mouth to the other without touching it with fagers, and how well I can articulate with it im my mouth; in short, look you what perfect oon- trol I have over my labial muscles, and, having seen, admire!” In short, there are many lowe bred young men—very many—that appear to smoke only to display their—tmagined—grace and skill, when, in fact, in smoking as they do, ‘¥ do, and when they do, they but publish their vulgarity. Such men are certainly not of the sort that Shakespeare accuses of having a “vaulting ambition.” As they smoke chiefly for show, a poor cigar answers their purpose as well’as a good one; consequently, they usual of the kind that are sold at the rate of two for a cent. The well-bred man, on the contrary, the tleman, the man that smokes only for the love » pats but as much of his cigar in his mouth as is necessary in order to draw it, keeps it im his mouth no longer than is necessary, and never fails to remove It when he talks, or passes any one toward whom he would be respectful, especially alady. Further, our best bred men never smoke in any street at an hour when it is much frequented, nor in any public place where smoking is likely to be offensive to others. THE BOOR IN PURLIC. Finally, if you remain to the end of a pere formance, remain indeed to the end—remain in your seat and remain quict until the last word has beet spoken, or the last note has been sung. Be not one of those unbred persons that when the end approaches bezin to make ready to go, orperhaps get up and push past others, dis- turbing everybody in the honse, players as well as auditors, in their selfish haste to reach the door.
