W YORK, Jan. 19.—[Correspond ence of the BEE.]J—What a white ¢ phant the fumous Stewagt mansion seems likely to become! Within the past twelve months rumor has placed half o dozen tenants in it, yet none has taken possession. and it is uninhabited, It istoo formidable —positively appal- ling in the lightof lubility, There is little reason to suppose that the latest rumored tenant, the Manhatton club, will ever get there. The money in the organization, but the day for Tweed investments in the club line has gone by. Clubs go it rich nowadays, but they g0 it cosy, alw; and “imposing” is too much like ‘‘imposition” to be an unalloyed attraction. Besides, there are ghosts about Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue. The spooks of both Alexander T. Stewart and M Stewart are to be materialized in court. If appearances go for anything, ex- Judge Henry Hilton is los ngvnnluh-n( J in his own ability to maintain intact, upon its mi alone, the will of the late Mrs. A, T. Stewart. A tremendous battle over the vast property is to begin . The broad shoulders and ing head of Roscoe Conkling will appear in the front rank of the eminent counsel engaged in defense of the docu- ment. He is a new acquisition, and Lord Roscoe’s fees fly high in these Jater days. Society is wild with stories and rumors about the Stewarts and their forty millions will be xpected. man upon Mur- er, is about US VANDERBILT. L that in the absence of her sister-in-law, the much gayer Mrs. Willi; Vanderbilt, she meant to entertain and e society, But there doubt about it, for she had never scemed to care about social effulgence and had busied herself in- ad with liberal charities and domes- tic |>u|-<u|lt4. The first mentioned ex- pectation is what has been realized and so magnificently that no previous ocen- sion of the kind will bear comparison with it, not even in the always brilliant light of recollection. Mvs. Cornelius Vanderbilt'sentertainment was a musi- cal. Many hostesses hud previously followed the English fashion of employ- ing professional performers to come in and sing, recite or do something else in their particular lines. Now the unreasonable adulation of Joseph Hofman, the ten year old prodigy, pianist, had made him the desirable thing for this purpose. Nothing like the furor over duhu:m has been mus ally known here since Jennie Lind. Minager Henry B. Abbey is his lucky possessor and with him is much more than balancing the loss entailed by the management of Wallack’s theater this ed that the afternoon of Vanderbilt’s affair was one of \\Ilu h a Hofman matinee w to have been given atthe Metropolitan opera house. S0 when Mrs. Vanderbilt sent to Abbey for Hofman the reply was that the rental sum of a 1,000 and the prob- able profit of $1,500 would make it nece sary to demand at least $3.000 for that particular half day of Hofman. Why should that price ‘make any difference to the wife nr eighty or ninety millions? 1t didn’t. Mrs. Vanderbilt is by no weans o splurger. But when she b a certain thing that money will buy there is no reason on earth why she shouldn’t have it. Therefore she paid $3,000 for Hofman. Not only that but she hired Lili Lehman, the principal prima donna of the opera, at $500), to sing two songs, besides several minor vocalists ana s I calculate that her little varief atinee cost her not less than 4,000, nn-xul\‘ for the talent_employed. S the Cornelins Vanderbilt mansion was on this oceasion for the first time wholly opened to guests and it was turned into a garden of exotic flowers from garret to basement, to say nothing of such new embhelishments a new GOBELIN TAPESTRY, purchased at $30.000, and expensive orchestras, it is hardly possible to count up the outlay. We Americans are accustomed to esti timete values by dollars and I don’t suppose that less than one hundred thousand were spent by Mrs, Vanderbilt to show to society what she could ao. When 1 add that good taste characterized all the expenditure, can be safely left to your in for the ll&‘lullh of splendor. How did the ladies dress? Well, beau- tifully. The novelty was that mnny wore gloves twosizes too large. That is now u freak of fashion. Such gloves are long, buttonless,«and of a size to be easily deawn over the hand. As to the geveral toilets, they may be deseribed by a bit of ac tual dialogue. “What do you want the girls to wear at your reception?” asked a prospect guest of a vivacious leader in society. “I want nothing but the most ex- quisite dressing,” the reply, “and mighty little of that.

But the ‘‘tin images” was too good to keep within so small a coterie.

She was a young woman-—per- haps twenty-five, Her dress was neat enough, but tawdry, and she carvied a pretty babe in her” arms, which could not have been moy an six months old. The car was well filled, but not so well as she was. Suddenly she removed a stony stare from a fat man in the corner, and en- deavored to look out of the window be- hind her, maintain the upright and hold the baby, simultancously. “Won'er where we are?’ she said aloud. ‘‘Guess we'll be late home, baby. Do you hear, mamma's pet? Who cares! Hoop-la. Kverything goes—-don't it, baby. hey’ Three “or four whisky-laden Kkisses the mother’s affection.

There something familiar about his face,w’ struck nearly every occupant of the car in which T was, and he received consid- erable attention as he made his way to the center. He sat down on one of the side seats, between two much smaller and slighter men, and sat there for a moment with his brows ased. He scemed to be thinking hard. There was an air of exceeding good humor ubout him, and he surveyed the other occupants of the car with a fatherly, patronizing air. It took me some moments to recognize him as P. T, BARNUM, and by that time the train had reached Twenty-third street station on its way down town. Mr. Barnum unbuttoned his overcoat and threw it back. Then diving his hand into an in- side pocket, he drew out a big bundle of of letter There must have been at least a dozen in that one bundle, and they were held together by a rubber band. He pulled off the rubber, and began to assort the letters in his lap, g them in vows of three in suc able all the persons in his immediate vicinity to see the words “P. T. Barnum” written styles of writing upon the envelopes. the next station the gentleman to the right of Mr. Burnum got up, and then Mr. Barnum took all the letters and ar- ranged them eavefully on the now vacant seut. Everybody in the ear who could at all see him had by thistime become inter- ested in his operations. Two stations below, the gentleman at the left got out, and then the great showman took another bundle of letters out of another pocket. The rubber was removed from this in the same calm, deliberate man- ner, and he laid out the second batch of letters on the seat to his left in the same pre.ise and careful way. Then he took up one letter after another, and car fully removed the envelope and delibe ately spread the letter before him, that everybody could sce again whom it was addressed to, and rnad it through slowly. It took some minutes for him mgct through the two dozen letters and, by this time, the conductor, all the brakemen, all the passengers of the fivst car, and some in the second car, were aware that the illustrious showman was on the train, The engine was puffing into the Park Place station when Mr. Barnum gathered up all the etters as deliberately as he had distributed them, and carefully re- placed them inside the rubber bands, ahd again placed them back in his pockets. Then he got up, stretched his legs and buttoned up his overcoot, and remarked to the conductor that it was a fine day. The conductor defer- ently admitted that it was, “That was a big fire up at Bridgeport a while ago,” said Mr. Barnum. *Yes, it was,” replied the conductor. “That Barnum’s a great fellow,” said My, Barnum; “I wonder what he is going to do now. That’s an awful large amount of money for one man to lose. He had a big show, the best 1 ever L think it was better than ever this 1ast season.’ “*Yes, sir; 8o it was,” said the con- duetor, trying to check his laughter, All the occupunts of the first car and some in the sccond craned their necks again to listen to the conversation, and smiles w general, **It must huve been a terriblo sight,” continued Mr. Barnum, ‘‘to see those snulzes \nn:l themselves around lamp- posts, and hyenas and leopards howling d the streets at midn It must have becn terrible,’ said the conductor. “Well, [ understand,” said Mr, Bar- num, *‘that My, num_ has got agents out all over the world already with v pockets lined with gold and checks and greenbucks o pick up new , new attractions. a bigger show than e , “Shouldn’t wonde assented the conductor, his is @ country where enter- prise and brains are recognized and arnum.

Mother and little ones are reported to be all doing well. Berry Bowden, a twelve-year-old colored boy of Macon, Ga., has the largest mouth of anybody, big or little, in those parts. When he opens it wide the corners of the mouth are less than half an inch from the lobe of each ear. He can put his fist in his mouth, can hold two eggs in it without difficulty, and his last triumph was to take in a toy balloon and then inflate it to its full size. Berry is very proud of his mouth. In Sierra Valley, Cal., an artesian well- borer struck a vein of hot water. The owner of the place piped the boiling water through his house for heating purposes. The water when it cools is soft, pleasant te the taste and very healthful. The water from the well &wkes quite a little stream, flows half a mile over the sandy desert, cools while flowing forms a little lake several feet in depth and sinks in the sand. ~Some weeks ago it was found that this little lake was teeming with sh, Count Joachim Pfell, the German African explorer, suys; **We often saw an animal in the water, along the coast of the Ulanga dis- trict, that we first believed to be a serpent from the movements, and from the fact that only now and then it appeared on the sur- face for a few seconds. Once, when we shot t, we w e surprised to see it rise out of the water and fly away. Afterward we suc- ceeded in obtaining one of the creatures. It was about the size of a large tame duck, with black plumage and a metallic luster. On the wings we noticed . few very light yellow feuthers. The neck was very long and thin, aud ended in a long, pointed ‘bealk, at the «-nd of which were two rows of sharp’ teeth. AEsURiiG A Hsod waa yIs i8R ol nea appeared to end only ina_beak.

A pretty faney for light curtains is to drape them with narrow searfs or half -handker- chiefs of their own materials. For dinner table docoration nothing can be more artistic thuit ruddy bramble leaves over- running white chrysanthemums, Yellow Madras curtains, so much in vogue ummer, may be i warm and wintry- looking by touches of crimson here und there, Failling flowers, a table may be made beau- tiful with bowls of glass or silver heaped w benbous and twined about with flume-colored sili. Window shelves covered with crotonne and edged with o three inch frill are handy to have about & room even if you have no plot-plants to go upon them. Maiden-hair forn without _any flowers is a very fayorite decoration this winter, and should always be dipped in water just before using. 50 as to glisten in the light. A tall white lamp with yellow shade and yellow scarf softly draped about its foot, made a beautiful centre for festoons of holly leaves, ruuning off to the ends of the toble. A decoration within the reach of almost any is a jar of grass and ox-eyed daisies, draped ubout with & green scarf, yet though so simple, few more effective oncs can be found. Straw-bottle covers painted brown and tied at top and bottom with bright ribbon, with a glass for flowers inside, ure prettily hung in groups of three against’ the wall, or in odd corners. Lovely bed covers are of sateen yellow or erimson—veiled with lace or scrim. Others are of white aud gold Madras muslin, and yet others of drawn work, with lining of pale silk. A narrow shelf about eight_inches above the mantei board, with a row of Japenese fans placed behind it 48 a border,serves admirably for holding and displaying the smaller bits of bric-a-brac. Some very new lamp shades represent an enormous lily of the auratum, or tiger pat- tern, almost covered with pendent velvety staujens. They are the size of a small para- so} and cost from &35 to 0 cach. The lamp shades of flowers—roses, chrys- tulips, sunflowers, ete.—are v and clumsy looking as they are_costly, despite the beauty of their component blos: which fairly outrival nature. Where space is an object, a prefty fancy is to have the toilet mirror long und narrow, aced upright upon a_shelf across a corner About a foot from the floor, and another shelf above it, on which stands a quaint jur Kettle holders made of felt, e sido with flannel,tho other side with brocade, have a much gr many more claborate_concoctions—as wher tea is wade at table they are almost a neces- sity.

Their Nawmes Change Many Times During Their Lives. Philadelphia North American: The Chin \'s ways are peculiar, in noth- ing more so than in naming. Accord- ing to the period of life he is in so is the name of a Chinaman, for he does not start away with a name from the beginning of his days and continue to bear it till the end thereof. At first the child heaps the name of his father; but the distinguishing mark vz ne- cording to the province. At Pekin, for example, the children of the same family are numbe Chang and his family, H0ld Chang,” *“‘Second Chang,” Thus of Chang’s two sons, if the eldest be Chang-Honest, the second would be Chang-Honest-Henest, and so forth, When the Chinese child goes to school (as nearly all Chinese childred do), it ceases to be known by its family name, being named ufresh on its first appear- ance before the schoolmaster. Thus Second Chang might be called Quick Runner, Hl'wl\t e, or Twinkling Star, and he is registered by the name thus fixed and known by no'other to his master and school-fellows. When the youth is engaged to be married a fresh name is given him, and from that time forth his marriage relations designate him bythat name only. Again, when the youth presents himself at the public examination for an official post, he en- ters himself under a name of his own choice, and for all time to come that continues to be his official name. The names of Chinese mandarins, governors and officials generally thut appear in rint are not names by which these unctionaries are known in private life —known to their marriage connections, their own school-fellows, and their kith i When a distinguished China- he is therefore spoken of and remembered by his posthumous name.
