SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1887.
The prospects for the charter amend-
ments becoming a law are brightening
daily.
A three cornered shooting match re-
cently occurred in the “Nation” in which
fifteen shots were fired and not a man
touched.
Evening Tribune has not yet lost
faith in the ultimate awakening of the
council to the need of street names on the
Galveston probably has more Chinese
laundries than any city of its size east of
the Rocky Mountains and still she is not
puffed up with pride.
This is about the time o’ year that the
city editor sits down in the solitude of
his sanctum and donates a large stock of
more or less valuable advice to the
farmers. .
It is now stated that Miss Nina Yan
Zandt, who desires to marry Anarchist
Spies,- is a crank. This is doubtless a
mistake, for the evidence is clear that
she is an out and out damphool.
Should the charter, amendments be-
come a law there will be a howl among
the mossbacks that will Te-echo like a
fire-bell in an empty barn and yet they
won’t know exactly what ails ’em.
Governor Ross has begun making
nominations, and place hunters are hold-
ing their breath in expectancy. Jno. M.
Moore has been nominated for secretary
of state and W. H. King for adjutant-
general .
Evidently the present legislature does
not believe in the efficacy of gas, for
when a resolution was introduced that
the candidates for United States Senator
be invited to address the House it was
voted down. *
The Twentieth legislature is getting
down to business in fine form. The bill
making it a felony to misplace a railroad
switch and treating the offender as a
common murderer where he causes death
by such displacement, has been favorably
reported upon and will become a law.
Galveston can wait for deep water as
long as the rest of the state can. When
the state at large realizes the full extent
of its interest in a deep-water port the
sneers at Galveston’s efforts to become a
deep-water port will come to a period
with a suddenness that will be worthy of
remark.
Washington and Montana Territories
are knocking for admission into the sis-
terhood of states. Dakota has probably
become offended at the manner in which
the door was slammed in her face during
the last session of congress. She don’t
seem to “be a keerin” whether she gets
in or stays out.
Governor Ross’ message was read to
the Senate and House yesterday morning,
and like his inaugural address, was brim-
ful of practical common sense. He
handles the many vexed problems with
which the legislature has to deal in a
practical, straightforward manner and
his recommendations show that he has
studied them well.
With all due respect for Dallas, San
Antonio and other interior villages Even-
ing Tribune would rise to remark that
more new buildings are in course of erec-
tion here than in any other three cities
in the state. But then having no water
works to speak of we have to hustle to
keep the town from burning down faster
than we can build it up.
Four or Five Dinners Given Every Niglit
During the Winter Season.
I happened to go into Delmonico's the
other day in order to find out what kind
of a dinner one could get for $8 or §10 a
plate. The party was to be one of a
dozen gentlemen, and after satisfying
myself that for §10 a plate there would be
quite enough to eat aud to drink to make
every one of the party remember the din-
ner for at least a week, I fell into conver-
sation with the steward of the horse as
to the number of dinners of this kind
which his establishment furnishes. It
will amaze most people to know that it is
the exception during the winter season
when there are not four or five private
dinner parties given every night in the
upstairs room at Delmonico’s, at prices
ranging all the way frbm $6 to §50 a plate.
The larger the party the more reasonable
the term. The average price is about §8,
which includes three or four kinds of
wines and cigars. There have been din-
ners that cost more than §50 a plate, but
the money was spent upon elaborate pres-
ents to be put at each plate instead of
upon delicacies of the season, or rather
not of the season, for the aim at such din-
ners is to astonish the guests by setting
before them things that they rarely see in
every day life.
The Delmonieo steward is something of
a genius in the way of running up the
cost of a dinner without endangering the
life of the diner, but even he is sometimes
at the end of his resources and has to be
helped along by his guests. It is told that
one evening he was horrified at a tremen-
dous crash of glassware and china in one
of the rooms, and rushed up expecting to
find that some of the young men at a select
party of twenty had been murdered. In-
stead of this it was only a little amuse-
ment at the expense of the glassware and
the young fool who gave the dinner; the
bill had ‘proved so insignificant—only
about §30 a plate—that all the glassware
had been smashed in order to bring it
up to a respectable figure. In confidence
tlie steward informs me that, as a matter
of fact, one gets quite as good a dinner
for §10 as for §50, for that the very num-
ber of dishes offered to the guests at tip a
most reckless of these entertainments pro
vents anything like true appreciation oi
their merits.
The Chamber of Commerce gives &
yearly dinner, for which it pays §20 a
plate, but the instructions are that the
quality rather than quantity shall be con-
sidered, and there is no better dinner than
that which the Chamber offers its guests.
Just at present the season for these little
dinner parties has reached its height, be-
fore the ball season begins, and there is
considerable rivalry between Delmonico’s,
the Hoffman house and the Hotel Bruns-
wick as to which one shall receive the
cream of this business. For very large
dinners tbe first named seems to have the
preference, but for dinners of less than a
hundred covers the other houses are sharp
competitors. For §10 a plate I was
offered the following dinner, given in a
luxurious private parlor and with every
possible elegance of service: Oysters,
soup, pates, salmon, lamb, vegetables of
several kinds, roast beef, chops, French
peas, water ice punch, red head duck,
salads, ices, fruit, coffee and the follow-
ing wines for fourteen persons. Seven
bottles of Sauterne, two bottles of sherry,
six bottles of Bordeaux, eight bottles of
champagne, six bottles of Apollinaris
water and liqueurs—in all thirty bottles.

Demoralized New Yorkers.
The reduction of fares on the Sixth
avenue elevated has convinced me that
coming down town in the morning shows
one how demoralized New York men are.
It used to be my boast that I had never
stood up in a street car, but the record is
of no value now. I not only stood up and
swung on a strap but I was thrown for-
ward into the lap of the most disgusting
old wretch, who really seemed rather to
like it. Men ought to know that women
do not go down town unless they have
to, and gentlemen know that it is very
hard for a woman to stand. The Lord
didn’t make them to stand. He would
have built them on the masculine plan if
this had been intended. The straps are
far above the head of the average woman,
ones bodice is pulled out of place and
one’s temper ruined beyond all hope.
The oily looking old brute in whose lap
I was deposited got out the station before
mine. I calmly stood still swinging on
my strap until some kind hearted man
touched me on the shoulder and told me
there was a seat. I collected all my ener -
gies and said as coolly as I could under the
circumstances: “Thanks; but I couldn’t
think of robbing any of the gentlemen. ’ ’
Nobody took that seat. I know one cour-
teous man in New York, and I am going
to tell his name. It is Mr. David Dudley
Field, a gentleman who always thinks
first for the comfort of a woman and who
never says or looks anything but the
gracious gentleman, best defined as
“God’s Almighty man.”—“Bab” in New
York Star.
Tombs of the Sovereigns.
In the vault of the Capucine church at
Vienna, where the Austrian soverigns
have found their tombs, is a splended and
enormous sarcophagus raised by Joseph
II over the remains of his mother, Maria
Theresa, and at its foot a plain iron box
in which are the bones of Joseph himself,
with the inscription—often repeated by
him in life—‘ ‘I have got so far that I love
nothing on earth except my mother and
the state.” Near by is the tomb of the
unfortunate Maximilian of Mexico, by
the side of which the emperor often stands
an hour in meditation and prayer.—New
York Tribune.
“Goatee Was a Genius.”
The nouveau cultive loves to quote
from “quaint old” this one and that;
buys, but does not read, a copy of Chaucer
and is proud to explain to his family that
the poet was “a well of English, pure
and undefiled;” has read a little in Dante
and pities those who have not the advan-
tage of familiarity with Dore's great il-
lustrations. It was a nouvelle cultive
once overheard in a railroad train explain-
ing that “Goatee was a genius who
studied all humanity in his own mon-
strous ergo!’ ’—Atlantic.
RULES FOR APPEARING AT EASE IN
THE DRAWING ROOM.
One Common Mistake in tlie General
Carriage of tbe * Body—Tlie English
“Back Board”—Self Possession—The
“Horse Walk”—Sauntering.
Look to the soles of your shoes and see
where they are most worn. Probably you
will find it on the (Justside, with the heel sev-
eral thicknesses of leather lower than on the
inside. That shows the onesided and un-
equal pressure. The man who starts out
from a broad base, with feet wide apart in
walking, toes in, and steps on the outer half
of the foot, has somewhere in his brain
the unformulated idea that by strenuous
muscular effort he can get over the ground
at a great rate of speed. He reaches his
business with a breathless bustle of punc-
tuality, but what a figure he makes in
doing it! By a fair and easy start, and by
moving with firm and regular step, the dis-
tance could be covered in the same space of
time, or less, and the man meanwhile pre-
sent to his fellow creatures an agreeable and
admirable object, instead of a spectacle of
unbalanced and -erratic motion.
To walk well a man must first stand well,
or, rather, carry himself well. The ears
should be in line with the shoulders, shoul-
ders -with hips, heels together, and just
enough of a tilt forward so that if a plumb
were dropped from the end of the nose it
would fall clear and sheer to the toes.
One common mistake in the general car-
riage of the body is leaning too far back.
Children are told to stand straight, and
they obey by protruding the stomach,
which should, on the contrary, be with-
drawn. Pomposity is expressed by promi-
nence of the abdomen, but neither stateliness
nor dignity. The “royal muscle” is in the
breast, not in the abdomen. Lean forward
rather than back, and if the ear is in proper
fine with the shoulder there is no danger of
stooping. To train the muscles of the neck,
walk about the room as often as convenient
with a book on the top of the head.
In England girls used to be made to sit a
certain length of time each day with what
was called a “back board.” Mrs. Lang-
try’s famous back was probably molded in
that way. This appliance was a board
about eight inches wide in the middle, and
narrowed at both ends to about half that
width. This is placed against the shoulder
blades and the arms brought over the nar-
row ends to hold it in place. The chest was
thus kept out to a beautiful expansion,
while the shoulder blades correspondingly
retired from view.
In walking the step must be with the toes
out, pressure on the inside of the foot, heels
in line, and legs close together at the hips.
The motion of one foot before the other
should suggest the spiral, and one step run
into another like the continuous links of a
chain. You wall be properly posed if you
lead yourself by the button on your coat
nearest your heart. Now walk a crack, or
a mark in the sidewalk, being sure to have
the heels touch the ground every time on
that line. The first trial will probably put
some of the muscles into very unfamiliar
relations with each other But practice
will prove it not only the most graceful way
of walking but also the easiest.
But this is not all of walking. Long
members should not be moved with a short
rhythm. What is more ludicrous than a
tall man, who was born with seven league
boots on, trying to adapt his giant fling to
the pitter-patter of some dumpy school-
girl’s feet? She should lengthen her rhythm
in the same proportion that he shortens his.
A prominent mark of all fine walking is
self possession. No motion which is the
effect of force is beautiful; whenever beauti-
ful the power which produces the force is
concealed. There should be no visible
effort, no apparent exertion, nothing of the
dead lift. Poets like to talk of “airy tread,”
“printless feet, ” and “rustling footsteps. ”
A West Point officer gave as a rale:
“Never bend the knee more than is neces-
sary to fairly clear the foot.” Stiffen the
knee and instinctively the head will go up,
the spine straighten, the arms swing free,
and every organ take its natural position.
One of the most effective exercises to se-
cure balance and flexibility of body in walk-
ing is called the “horse walk.” It would
not do to try it on the public thoroughfare,
nor in a drawing room, but in the seclusion
of one’s own room it may be indulged in
with a resultant grace that will reward all
the absurdity of the private exhibit. A mili-
tary position is the starting point. Then,
instead of putting the foot forward and
down at once, one leg is made to describe a
half cricle in front of the other, which re-
quires a perfect balance of the body upon
the leg that supports it. After this circle
is described the foot is lifted as high aa
possible by bending the knee up, and is then
brought around into the exact place he
foot would have reached by a natural step.
Once or twice around the room of this
“horse walk” is as good as a mile tramp.
To be able to walk slowly is the refine-
ment of this fine art. A hasty pace in the
old Roman days was considered most un-
worthy—the runners then were the slaves.
The slow yet elegant and spirited walk pre-
supposes leisure and high breeding.
Thoreau speaks of a ‘ ‘genius for saunter-
ing, ’ ’ and says he never in his life saw but
one or two people who had it. He says no
wealth can buy the leisure, independence
and freedom that are the capital in that
profession; it comes only by the grace of
God. “It requires a direct dispensation
from heaven to become a walker.” But
he spoke, of course, of walking as an enjoy-
ment, not as an art.—Chicago News.
A Baby Posted for Sale.
Babies are beginning to figure as assets.
A very young one Tvas recently seized for
rent, together with a cradle and a dog, on
Lord MacDonald’s estates in Penniess,
Scotland. The dog was valued at a shil-
ling and the infant at sixpence. Lord
MacDonald is very indignant, as the baby
was actually posted for sale, and he has
ordered an action against the sheriff’s
officer who took the child from its mother.
—Chicago Tribune.
Importance of Microbes.
The importance of microbes to the
growth of plants has been practically
demonstrated by M. Laurent-, who ob-
tained only one fourth as much buck-
wheat from sterilized mold as in soil con-
taining bacteria.—Arkansaw Traveler.
Its Name Killed It.
Boston abounds in women’s clubs, most if
not all of them literary in character.
Many are comparatively young yet, but
seem to be on such a firm basis as to promise
a prolonged life. Others live for a brief
season, and then die, but they have generally
served their purpose. There was one, the
Metaphysical by name, started about three
years ago, which is near expiring, killed,
doubtless, by its name. It was founded by a
daughter of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, the
one who died not long ago, and was a very
brilliant affair at one time. Its fate is a very
significant answer to the question of “What’s
in a name?’ ’ for even in blue Boston its title
was a little too heavy.—Chicago Tribune.
The world is a queer old fellow.
As you journey along by his side
You had better conceal any trouble you feel
If you want to tickle his pride.
No matter how heavy your burden—
Don’t'tell hini about it, pray,
He will only grow colder and shrug his shoulder
And hurriedly walk away.
But carefully cover your sorrow,
And the world will be your friend,
If only you'll bury your woes and be merry
He’ll cling to you close to the end.
Don't ask him to lift one finger
To lighten your burden, because
He never will share it, but silently bear it,
And he will be loud with applause.
The world is a vain old fellow;
You must laugh at his sallies of wit
No matter how brutal, remonstrance is futile
And frowns will not change him one whit.
And since you must journey together
Down paths where all mortal feet go,
Why life holds more savor to keep in his favor,
For he’s an unmerciful foe.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox in New York Mercury.
Tlie Crown Prince of Italy.
The young prince is barely 16. He is
still under the care of his tutors, and his
studies, which are on a sensible, practical
and extensive scale, are never suffered to
hear any interruption. He is as yet some-
what below the middle height. His hair
is fair, his complexion pale, and his blue
eyes have a winning expression of gentle
cheerfulness. He more closelyreseRibl.es
his maternal grandfather, the King of
Saxony, than his Italian ancestry. His
memory is prodigious. His preceptor,
Col. Osio, formerly military attache to
the embassy at Berlin, who fulfills his
duties with conscientious firmness and de-
votion, speaks highly of his pupil. It is
his ambition to make him “every inch a
king. ’ ’
When the hoy was still a little child he
was on the most intimate terms with the
colonel and exceedingly anxious to please
him. Arter having successfully gone
through his lessons he would turn to him
and say: “Colonel, kiss your little prince
if you are satisfied with him.”
He speaks English perfectly, having had
from his birth an English nurse, to whom
he was deeply attached and for whom he
mourned sincerely when she died a short
time ago. The little fellow was so con-
scientious that, having been ordered by
his mother to speak nothing hut English
on certain days, he would not break
through the rules even to answer a high
functionary who addressed him succes-
sively in Italian and French, looking im-
ploringly all the time at the queen, who
was present, as if begging her to explain
his apparent discourtesy. He had the free
disposal of a small weekly allowance.
One day, after having been unusually
quiet and observant at some public
pageant, he was seen to pull his mother’s
skirt and ask her what the price of a silk
gown was. “Because,” he added, “here
ara all my savings. See if they will buy
ose for my nurse.”
The queen is passionately fond of the
son on whom the crown of Italy must de-
scend, but she never allows her adoration
to become weakness. Handsome, elegant,
fascinating, worshiped by all who ap-
proach her, idolized by her subjects, Queen
Marguerita has, under the outward ap-
peai’ances of worldly light heartedness
and womanly ease a strong sense of what
is due to her husband and her rank, and
what is expected of her high position.
—Foreign Cor. New York Sun.
A Saving in Cookery.
An English inventor claims to save one
third of the time and 10 per cent, of loss
in the cooking of joints of meat by thrust-
ing into them metallic conductors to in-
sure their simultaneous heating through-
out, these conductors being copper blades
with globular heads of iron. Flesh is a
very bad conductor of heat and without
this device the outside of the meat is
greatly overcooked, with much waste of
nutritious juices before the inside is well
done.—Arkansaw Traveler.
Adam’s Loneliness.
Little Totv went to Sunday school for
the first time in her life and heard the
teacher tell about Adam in the Garden of
Eden, and what an easy time he might
have had of it had he only repressed his
appetite for apples. On returning home
Toty said to her mother: “Then Adam
was all alone on the earth at first, was
he, mamma?” “Yes, my child, all alone.”
“Poor man! How ’fraid he must have
been of robbers!”
Millionaire Corcoran’s Portiere.
The millionaire Corcoran has a new por-
tiere, which is the envy of Washington. It
is a sort of national affair, made up of gor-
geous silk squares, representing the states in
the Union. The leading cities have con-
tributed to it, and each state is a wonder of
beahtiful embroidery. It is to hang in the
main drawing room of Mr. Corcoran’s man-
sion at La Fayette square. It is lined with
gold colored silk canvas, and Mr. Cor-
coran’s monogram is embroidered on it in
large red letters. The squares on the out-
side are bordered with crimson plush,
finished with a heavy silk cord of red and
yellow. Among the contributors to it
are the wives of Postmaster Gen. Vilas, of
Senators Teller, Van Wyck, Vance and
others.—Frank G. Carpenter.

Shedding the Toe Nails.
A Neapolitan physician has described a
case of hysteria, prolonged and aggra-
vated, in which the nails of the fingers
and toes were spontaneously shed. This
was preceded by tingling, especially in
the thumbs and great toes, followed by
suppuration in the bed of the nail. The
curious affection of the nails is supposed
to have been the result of disordered nerve
functions.—Arkansaw Traveler.

Gen. Sherman on Wagner.
Gen. Sherman, whom I met at the
“Walkure” the other day, made me think
of Canning. When we talked about
Wagner I asked the great warrior if at

the general replied, thinking, I suppose,
of Atlanta and Shiloh: “I never knew a

An Archaeological Park.
A scheme is being discussed to form an.
archaeological promenade park in the
center of Rome, connecting the Capitol

famous buildings near by. Genuine an-
