EXCLUSIVE AMERICAN RIGHT TO ITS TUSES SECURED BY THE BESSEMER STEEL AStOCIATION. PalladophiaSpecial the S:. Lo's obe Deme: Within the past fow days an agreo- ment hes been signed in this city by which the gentlemen_who compose ‘what is known as the Bsssemer Steel association of the United States have secured the exclusive American right to the famous Thomas Gilchrist metho 1 known as the Basic process, for de- phosphorizng ‘iron. The figares in- Yolved In this important transaction are placed all the way from $275,000 to £400,000, bat parties who nave fa- cilities for knowing. something -of tho matter say that the lesser fignre- is' the correct The begotiations which have 1hus been eobsummated have been in progress for a considerable period, and were conducted between a repre. sentative of the association and Mr. Gilehrist personally, although the lat- ter has » resident re tative i the Upited Staton, Bgn:':i: t!:n'n: tion the whole of ths patents coyerin fhe basic procees, compBsing. thous issued o the mame Of Movers.

Warren, who knew from experience that his master was quite capablo of carrylog out his threat, sprang in his fright out of the coffin and coursed across the stage, not even stopping to ed his winding sheet. DYING WITHOUT BOOTS. The second story is of a youngand pretty girl, who was a member of MoVicker's comoany in Obicago years 3go. The part this girl had to play was that of a maiden, who, to follow her hero to battle, disgaises herself as a page, and is slain by a chauce arrow. Just as she was going on McVicker Qiscovered that she had slippers on. “Here, hold on,” satd McVicker. “Slippers on a battle field! That1l never do.” The girl explained that she had nothing else, whep the leading man, who was standing by, kindly offered her his top-boots. 1nto them she got, and fn them she died. All wonld have been well had the scene enaed there, but, unfurtunately, sho had to be discoverad by the heroand dragged T the field. As soon as the man deputed to do this took the page under the arm, tho poor girl found that her boots were slipping off. So did the in presents to his friends $97,500,000. The dresses of Lollia Paulinl, the rival of Agrlpina, were valued at §1;- 644,480 This did not include her jewels. She wore at oue supper 31,- 561,500 worth of jowels, and it was & plain citizens’ supper. She was worth altogether $200,000,000. The luxary of Pappm, beloved by Nero, was at least equal to that of Lollis. ~Pallas, the lover of Agrippina, loft an estate in lands valued at $15,000,000. M. Scarus bada villo worth $15,000,000, and this was only a small part of his immense fortune. The villa was burned by his slaves out cf revenge for some Injury. The sums paid by the old Grecks and Romans for works of art, make the present prices appaar somewhat shabby. Nicias, an artat, refused to sell one of his pictures to King Attalus for $75,000, choosing Tather to pre- sent it to his conntry asa gift. Nicias was a millionalre. For a single figare by Aristides, King Attalus gave $125,000. Musson, the tyranc of Elates, paid $20,000 for & small pic- ture by Ariatides, representing a bat- tle of the Persians. Ciiar was a gonerous patron of art. He bought of Timomachus, » painter of Athons, two figures, one representing Ajax and the other Medes, for which he paid $100,000. . Appelles recelved$20,000 for & por- trait of Alexander, which he painted supe, and to did the hero, and the fecling of all three can be imagined when, by the time the psgs had been dragged to the wings, the boote stood the ground lost of late years, and be- come the virtusl controllers of the | iron and steel trade of the world. | The process is_second in importance | and value only to the Bessemer, | as by it ores containing phosphorus, which otherwise would be | valueless,can be utilized and mads to | prodace any desired quality of steel or ironatasmall cost. Juat whether the associstion proposes to putits pur- chase to practical use, is a question which the wisest heads in the trade outside of the concern are at a loss to fathom. Mr. Fenton, president of the assoclation, is confined to his resi- dence with sickness, and Mr. Kenne- dy, its secretary, intimated his inabil- ity to impart any. information beyond the fact that the parchase has ctually been contumma. The Bessemer now exclustvely monopoliz- leven firms. The works,which have s capacity of over 1,000,000 tons per annum, are fully employed, and ordera aro booked for a year ahead. Once in the hands of other parties the Bessemer paople weuld no longer bave a monopoly; prices would be forced down, and more than this, the value of the plant now engaged in steel manufacturing woald be greatly depreciated. In short, operated by independent parties, the ianvention would work a revolution in the trade, but having it in their own possession the Bessemer folks can use it or let it alone, as they see fit. The general epinion in the trade is that the com- pauy ls now so fally supplied with or- ders a high prices, it will hardly feel any interest in the encouragement of a process whioh will so rapidly change aud materially chespen the prodation of ingotsteel. A couple of fiems in the sssocmtion sre now patting down the basic plant, but it is not believed that they contemplate any immodiate movement in the direciion of utilizing the - process, while again it is stated that the association may grant licenses $o works not now represented in it on condition that the dephosphorizol steel is not brought into competition with steel from hesmatite irons. This purchase ia no doubt & great thing for the company and highly gratifylng to its stockholders, whose stock is now worth twenty-five cents above its par value; bat whether it will be as gratifying to the buyers of iron and steel rails and of iron_and steel generally 1s a question. It is only a short time since the Bessemer company was & party to another and similar transaction by which it gained the excluslve control of the patent owned by Jacob Reess, of Pittsburg, Pa., for treating refractory ores. So far no movement has been made b, the concern toward utilizing this pat ent, but it is & matter of indifference to the inventor who, even if the pro- cess be buried for all time, will yearly receilve 8 handsome figure as the re- turn for his ingenuity. STAGE ABSURDITIES. AMUSING DEATH SCENES BEHIND THE FOOTLIGHTS—MISS CLAEA MORRIS'S AGONIZING COUGH. San Francisco Chrovicle, Death scenes on the stage, the mim- etic representation 8 the throes that attend the separation of the soul aud body, have always had a great attrac- tion for a certain class of sight-seer and a still greater one for certain act- ors and actresses. ‘The closo copying of final pangs does not appear to have obtained among the players cf the past century, nor indeed 1s it remem- bered that there were any special ex- amples of elaboration bestowed on death scenes by them. More recently, however, the agony of dissolution has obtained a prominent and paying po- sition in the theatrioal repertory, the exhibltion belng all the more attractivo—that is, sure to attract— if the snapping of the ocord is attended by horrible tuggings and twistings. Mile. Croizette's death scene iu the Sphina, for instance, un- doubtedly went far toward making her famous. Miss Morris’ faithfal imitation of the consumptive’s hack- ing cough and distressing last choking graep aro far more valuable to her than “Oamille’s” love scenes with “Armand,” and 80 tho list must be carrled on almost indefinitely. That all ceath scenes have this false value is by no means asserted. The passing away of “Louls XL.,” as portrayed by Kean and Sheridan, the grandly piti- falydeath of *‘King Lear,” as shown by John McCullougb, although here circumstances aro more powerful than the actor—these are death scenes that claim our regard without exciting onr horror, as “‘Coupean’s” horrlble death dance does, or asj “Nana's” convulsions in delirium of small-pox would certainly do. ELABORATE DEATH SCENES. Some death scenes have been over-elaborated as to be made ridico- d the performance of the late Mr. Kirby, who used to wrap himself up In the American flag and die like & —— gentleman, has become histor- ical, while the writer remembers a ther of the Holman sisters, whose favorite part was *‘Fra Diavolo,” in which, when shot, hewas accustomed to rell, step by step, from the top of the rock platform down to the footlights, generally taking about half an hour for it, and quite as often 8 not breaking an arm or a Tib in the descent. Many of the mos: ludicrous sitaations on the stage havegrown ot of some mischance or miscue attend- ing a death scene, mnd having = number of such storles scra) and mothing local of par- ticular importance to write about, it would be just as well to select say & half dozan of these for dressing over, here. That concerning the celebrs ed Eoglish actor, Powell, and the upernunumerary. is - perbaps. well known, but it is worth_telling again. The play was The Fair ‘Penitent, and the super, who was also Powell's dres- -nr;‘:;d‘{‘ot this f-:a[v.;l::. undertaken to 3 of rio’s’col Powell being off the stage and b'fi:; aoxious t: chauge his costume, miss- d Werren, and, not knowing he had a part that evening, called out angrity for his drerser. Warren, though then in the coffin, could not overcome the empty and slone on the stage, form. ing a bootiful but absurd situstien. Ginglini was a distinguished tenor in his day and ‘Manrico” was his boss part. One eveniog at the con— clusion of the ‘“Miserere” scene the eudience applauded freely his share in the singing. That such kindness should not go unnoticed Ginglini was determined; 80, not content with put- ting his head out of the tower window and bobbing it, he quitted his dun- geon cell, came down to the footlights and bowed his acknowledgments to the amused audler.ce. Then, like an honorable and high-minded gentle- man, went calmly back to his prison and gave himself Into custody. DECOROUS PRIVATE. The officers of the English army are fond of amateur theatricals and the respect of privates to their supe- riors is very strictly exacted. Hence the following incldent: A distinguish- ed military amateur had agreed to play “Don Giovanni” betore a distia- guisked audience for one night only, and a number of privates from his regiment were detailed to do the p-rnumeracy work. In the last scene, in which the profligate is selzod by demons and dragged down to per- dition, the privates were supposed to play the demons. ~ Bat the demons knew that they were prlyates, and that the *“Don” was their own colonel, and nota disrespeotfal movement could they beinduced to make. To every agoniz:d stage whisper of the colonel to lay violent hands on him, the soldlers only replied by bringing these hands into salute, and the -curtain came down with the colonel walking off to nell by himself, and the demons wheelivg aud marching after their prey at a raspectful distance. A writer in Mr. Wheeler’s paper telle an amusing story of the Philadel- phis Forest Amateurs, = They were playing“Venico Preserved;” Mr, Lit- tle being cast for “Pierce” and a Mr. White for “Jafilsr.” In thelastscene, where both ths conspirators die, Lit- tlo had given up tke ghost first, which he aid to the great satisfaction of the groundlings staggering all over the place, but taking care to give the last convulsive kick in the exact center of the stage. Then the other tragedian commenced his go-as-you-pleasa walk preparatory to shoffling off, and as he had apparently made up his mind to die as conspiculously ss Little had done, he commenced waltzing round and round the prostrato dead. As the circle of White's staggering be- came smaller. Little became visibly unessy. _Ho bore it manfally, how- eve:, until White began tofotter, when his courage left him, and hastily sitting up_he crawled nearer to the wings, and there being out of danger, peacefully laid himself out just as “Jaffier” came down with a crash. —_— WEALTH OF THE ANGIENTS. A SERIES OF STORIES MORE OB LESS INTERESTING, IF AT ALL TRUE. Pall Mall Gaaette, We occazionally read interesting ac- counts of the wealth and extravagant expenditures of our railway kings navzs kings and other financial kings. There is & certain fascination in these descriptions of immense possessions and the personal charscterlstics and habits of these who control them, That Vanderbilt paya a small fortune for a picture, that Mrs, Astor wears diamonds _worth $200,000, and that Mrs, Mackay gives a dinner at a cost of §25,000, are facts which to the pular mind have a peculiar charm. And undoubtedly there is an impre: sion in some quarters that the mase iog of enormous wealth and the at- tendant extravagance are " things of comparatively modern growth, on the walls of the temple of Diana, at Ephosus. Ptolemy paid Aratus $200,000 for some old pictures by Melsnthus and Pamphilus. M. Agrip- pa pald to the people of Cyzlcous $50,- 000 for two small paintings, and it was he who bullt and bequeathed to hls countrymen the magnificant Thermae in the Campus Martius, with their gardens, libraties and porticos—one portion of which, the Pantheon, still remains. Lucius Mummios got » pic- ture In Greece, representing Father Bacchus. which King Attalus yaloed at §550,000, bat Mummius said that prllfe was 00 small, and refused to sell. The ploture of “Venw Anady- omene,” by Appelles, was sld for $125,000. Isocrates recelved $28,000 for one oration, Virgil, for hisjlines. on Macellus, was rewarded by a dgifl of about $10,000. Fora single dish of pottery the traglc actor of Zsophus paid $4,500. The Emperor Vitellius ordered a dish tobe made for him for which a furnace was erected in the fields outside the city, for $46,000. _The colloseal statue of Moercury, made for the city of the Averni,in Gaul, by Zenodorus, cost $1,675,000. Nero paid $161,000 for a_carpet. For the famous status of the Disdem- enos, which was a bronze figure of life sizo representing & youth tying & fillet yound_his head, Poycleitus re- celved $125,000. And, sgain, drop- ping art for literature, it is related that Tiberius presented to Asellfus Sabinus 820,000 for a dialogae he wrote between a mushroom, a cab- bage, an oyster and a thrush. Regarding the immense wealth pos- seased by fortune's favorites in sncient dayz, the mystery ls, what has be- come of all this gold and silver, for the possessions of these rich mon and wemen consisted chiefly of tho olean metal and precious stones. There is no accounting for ita dis- appearance except on the theory that it passed from sight as' vessels laden with preclous cargoes sink to the bot- tom of the sea aud are lost forever. The tact remains that {n riches, ex- travagance and luxury the ancients ex- celled the railroad kings, the bonanza kings and mercantile princes of the present day. It is fortanate, indeed, that wealth is more falrly divided than in olden times, and there is reazon to believe thatas the world grows older, and the political rights of men are more freely acknowlodged, andre- atraiuts upon porsonal action are thrown off, the accumulations of im- mense fortunes will become less and Loss p — Real Eetate Transfers.

How far this tmpression is from the truth may be seen by a glance at history, which in this respect is really comforting to us poor devils of the present day. Pyther, or Pythius, the Lydian Celaenae, was worth §16,- 000,000. Darius, during his reign, had'an incoms of $14,500,000 a year. The votive oftering of Croesus to the Delphian god amounted to $4,000,000. Alexander's dally meal cost $1.700. He paid the debts of his soldiers, amounting to at least $10,000,000,and made a present of $2,600,000 to the Thesesltans, The obsequies of Hep- heastion are said to have cost §1,500,- 000. Aristotle’s investigations in natural history involved an expense of $1,000,000. He left behind a treasure of $50,000,000. The wealth of his satraps was extraordinary. One of them, Harpalue, accumulated £5,000,000. A festival of Ptolemy Philadelphus cost not less than $2,239,000. tronsure of this king amounted to $375,000,000. There was immense wealth among the Rom: The landed estate of Creesus was valued at 88,500,000, and his house at $4,000,000. Cewsilus Isi- dorus lost much, but still left $5,235,~ 000. Demeterius, a freedman of Pom- pey, worth $4,000,000. Lentulus,the augar, possessed no less than $17,000,- 000. ~ Clodius paid £640,000 for his house, and ho once swallowed a pearl worth $40,000. Antony squandered altogether $735,000,000. Tiberias left at his death 118,170,000, and Caligula spent it all in less than ayear. The extravagant Caliguls paid $150,- 000 for one supper. Speaking of sup- pers, one meal cost Hellogabalus $100,000, and the supperof Lucullas at the Apollo cost $8,330. Pegelius, » singer, could and dld spend $400,000 in five days. Seneca had a fortune fof $17,500,- 000. Aplcus was_worth about $5,- 000,000, and after he had spent in his kitchen' and otherwise quandered sums to the amonnt of $4,166,000 he poisoned bimself, leaving a few hun- dred thousands. Tbat Caesar was very comfortably fixed, at least, is in- dicated by the fact that he presented Servilia, the mother of Bratus, a pearl worth £200,000; another bit of evidence Is_tho largo sum given to Paulus by Caesar as a bribe—$292, 000; and another is the fact that h gave for a pear] $27,000. Cario must have been at one time pretty sound finanelally, as he was able to contract debts to the amount of $2,500,000.
