From Hun-'''''' Kazan
There are a few points of table eti
quette not directly connected with the
giving and receiving of dinner.- and
tea., but which are of the first import
ance, as they concern individual be
haviour. We would be inclined to think
every one acquainted with them, and
allusion to them a matter of superero
gation on our part, if it were not that we
sec them so frequently violated. Those
of our readers who arc, or always have
been, familiar with them, will perhaps
pat don our speaking of them for the
sake of those who are not.
We do not expect to seethe.se gauche
lies in the hot society; but there are
many people perfectly well fitted for
the bet society but for ignorance of
these tilings, winch, although trifles in
t hem-elves, are of such infinite import
ance on the whole. For in-tance,wh:re
all the requirements are not fully known,
if a general cessation of con creation
should suddenly supervene upon the
serving of the soup, would there be si
lence in the place? Not at all ; the gap
would be tilled with a continuous bub
bling sound from the mouth of some
one" or oilier unlucky wight, whose
mother never taught him to take soup
propct lv, and who is probably disturb
ing anif di-gusting "11 those who do bet
ter, and who know how ea-ily the trou
ble might be avoided. Soup is to be
taken iroin the side of the spoon, not
from the tip; and it is not to be sucked
in, but, the spoon being 'lightly tilted,
it is rather poured into the mouth than
otheruL-e, the slightest silent inhalation
being sufficient for the rest.
Another generally neglected obli
gation is that of spreading butter on
A
one's bread as it lies in ones1 plate, or mil
slight lv lifted at one end from the plate; I
it 7s very ficquenily buttered in the air,
bitten in gouges, and still held in the
face and eyas of the table with the
marks of the teeth on it. This is cer
tainlv not altogether pleasant; and it is
better to cut it a nit at a time, after but
tering it, and put piece by piece in the
mouth with one's linger and thumb.
Let us men ion a lew things concern
ing the eating of which there is some
time doubt. ' A cream-cake and an'
thing of a similar nature should be eaten
with knife and fork, never bitten. As
paragus which should always be served
on bread or toa-t, so as to absorb su
perfluous moisture may be taken from
the linjrcr and thumb; "if it is lit to be
ct before- you, the whole of it may be
eaten, l'eas and beans, as we all know,
require the fork only. Potatoes, if
ma-hed, should be mashed with the
fork. Oroen corn should be eaten from
the cob; but it must be held with a sin
gle hand, and not after the fashion of
the Alderman's wife at the I-iord-Mayor's
dinner. French artichoke are to bo
eaten with the lingers slightly pulled
apart at the top, and one of the leaves
pulled out with the finger and thumb;
the Ucshy end of this leaf is then dip
ped in the salad-dressing served with it,
and only that atom of a paler color at
the bottom of the leaf is takon as it
peels off between the lips, when the
dry portion is lo be laid back in the
plate. It is always served as a separate
course by itself; a pretty hand looks
very pretty indeed when fingering a
French artichoke. Celery, cresses, rad
ishes, and all that sort of thing, arc, of
course, to be eaten from the fingers; the
salt should be laid upon one's plate, not
upon the cloth. Fish is to be eaten with
the fork, without the assistance of the
knife; a bit of bread in the left hand
sometimes helps one to master a re
fractor' morsel.
It is best to be very moderate in the
beginning of a dinner, as one does not
know what is to follow, and all the rest
may be spoiled for one by an opposite
course. We remember the case of a
lady in Itfexieo, who, dining with the
Governor of the province, was served
for the first cour.-e with a hash. She
was somewhat surprised ; but it was a
very good hash, and she really .made
her dinner upon it. But the next course
av:is aL-o hash there were seventeen
courses of hash before the main dinner,
of every delicacy under tin? sun, made
its appearance."' Of course a tiny mor
sel of each hash, for the sake of the flav
oring, was all she should have taken;
as it was, she sat afterward like Tan
talus. Berries, of course, pre to be eaten
with a spoon. In England they are
served with their hulls on, and three or
four arc considered an ample quantify.
But then in England they arc many
times the size of ours; there they take
the big berry by the stem, dip it into
powdered sugar, and eat it as we do the
turnip-radish. It is not proper to drink
with a spoon in the cup, nor should one,
by the way, ever quite dram cup or
glass. Spoons are sometimes used with
puddings, but forks are the better style.
A spoon should never be turned
over in the mouth. Ladies have
frequently an affected way of
holding the knife half-way down its
length, as if it were too big for their lit
tle hands, but this is as awkward a way
as it is weak; the knife should be
grasped freely by the handle only, the
forefinger being'the only one to "touch
the blade, and that only along the back
of the blade at its root, and no further
down. In sending one's plate to be
helped a second time, one should retain
one's knife and fork, for the convenience
of waiter and carver. At the conclu
moii of a course, where they have been
used, knife and fork should'be laid side
by side on the plate never erosscd; the
old custom of crossing them was in
obedience to an ancient religious formu
la. The servant should offer every thing
at the left of the guest, that the guest
may be at liberty to use the right hand.
If one has been given a napkin-ring, it
is necessary to fold one's napkin and use
the ring; 'otherwise the napkin should
be left unfolded. One's teeth are not to
be picked at table; but, if it is impossi
ble to hinder it, it should be done be
hind the napkin. One may pick a bone
at the table, but, as with corn, only one
hand is allowed to touch it; yet one can
usually get enough from itwith knife
and fork, which is certainly the more
elegant way of doing; and, to take her
teeth to it, gives a lady the look of car
ing a little too much for the pleasures
of the table; one is, however, on no ac
count to suck one's fingers after it.
Wherever there is any doubt as to
the best way to do a thing, it is wise.to
follow that "Which is the most rational,
and that will almost invariably be found
to be the proper etiquct. There is a
reason for every thing in' polite usage ;
thus, the reason why one does not blow
a thing to cool it is not only that it is
an inelegant and vulgar action intrinsic
ally, but because it may be offensive to
others can not help being -so, indeed ;
and it, moreover, implies haste, Avhich,
whether resulting from greediness or
from a desire to get away, is equally
-1a and bbicctionable. Even' thins.
rise mar be as easily traced to its origin
i i the fit and becoming.
If io conclude, one seats one's self
i properly at table, and takes reason into
Jcorokt, one will do tolerably well.

elaborately dftcorated in honor of the

being a large wreath of immortelles,
tuberoes and smilax, which was sus

A "-ricf-ftiieken relative informed one
reporter that the silk hose and white
slippers which the fair remains wore on
this occasion involved an expense of
?:200. The bereaved husband was ele-"-antlv
but simply dressed in convention
al black, and the grace and dignity with
which he bore himself throughout the
exercises occasioned much favorable
comment. Hev. Archibald Slusher, A.
.M., I. 1)., iresided over the obsequies,
being attired with his usual elegance and
l:zuT. Instead, however, of his usual
white necktie, lie wore the lilac tie which
he purchased at Vienna timing his re
cent summer's vacation in Europe. Ilfc
remarks were eminently refined, and
calculated to please even the most fas

spirit to enjov tlieni with the rest.
The mu-icVas extremely fine. Prof.
Berando Carolino presided at the Stein

formed Beethoven's six hundred and
twelfth sonata, op. 3,001, Mozart's ' La
Morte," op. 214, in three Hats, and
Chopin's eighteenth mas.-, in four sharps,
op. 1G.". At the conclusion of each num
ber the performer was rewarded with
bouquets and as an encore of the sonata
gave Cherubim's touching op. (58 in a
most feeling and artistic manner. The
other musical exercises consisted of a solo
bv Miss Periwinkle, the charming young
.soprano who has justcomplctcd her musi
cal education at Milan, and a duet by Prof.
Vladimir Korti.skv and Mr. Fitzhugh
Slobberall, of tile Fifteenth Street
Church choir. Excepting a slight tum
ble in certain passages of-the duet occa
sioned by the premature presentation of a
bouquet to the accomplished Prof. Kor

vocalization passed off pleasantly and
was highlv enjoyed. The procession to
cemetery "was la'rge but select, no kind
of vehicle smaller than a tw'o horse
barouche being admitted in line. A
pleasant feature of this part of the pro
gramme was the eight new silk plumes
with which the hearse wasTirnamentcd.
At the eemeterv the grave-diggers were
appropriately attired in black, relieved

was so highly recherche that wc take
pleasure in chronicling it, and we con

Alligator-Hunting in Florida.
One afternoon, two of us started from
the Arlington House, Gainesville,
Florida, to what is known as JXoonan's
Lake, to hunt alligators. . We had se
cured the service of a darky with his
boat, and embarked at the sink in
Paine's Prairie. This sink is simply a
hole in the ground where the waters of
Noonan's Lake disappear, or rather
used to, as for some reason it has become
partlv stopped up, so that the water has
set. back and overflows thousands of
acres. Consequently, we had so far lo
row that, before we "got into the stream
or regular outlet of the lake, it began to
grow dark. After lots of hard work
and trouble we became fairly bewildered,
and finally struck in the mfdst of a ham
mock about 12 o'clock at night, and
still a mile or two to go. We tied up
the boat and struck out for higher
ground; but, as it didn't seem to dry up
much, we rolled up some logs to make a
foundation above water. Afterpiling
on lots of dry weeds and grass, it made
a seat, but didn't suit us for a camp; so
climbing the stub of a tree that had a
great amount of Spanish moss hanging
on it, we pulled down several arrafuls,
and hung the festoons thick on sticks
stuck in the ground aronnd our camp
bed, leaving one side open next to the
lire our darky had kindled. When all
was done, we had a camp, or hut,
that was both original and comfortable.
Some time in the night our hre began
to burn low; so I tramped off in the
outer darkness after wood. Looking
back at our moss-covered hut, lit uu by
the fire in front, it looked like an' im
mense bunch of wool. In a hole in one
side sat PMnney, my comrade, with his
elbows on his knees, in deep study
thinking perhaps of the probable time it
would take to build the Gainesville and
Charlotte Harbor Railroad. On the op
posit side of the fire from where Phin
ney sat, I found our darky Jackson,
sound asleep a small log of wood un
der his neck, head thrown back, mouth
wide open, and the prospect for ivory
first-rate.
We would have slept pretty well, but
for the night-noises peculiar to a Florida
swamp. The roaring of the alligators,
and the hootings, bowlings and fiendish
laughter of night-birds and animals, are
very apt to mve character to a man's
dreams according to what denomination
of Sunday-school ho was brought up
under.
Jfert morning we pushed on up into
the lake, the shores of which, as far as
wc could see, were lined -with .tall
cypress-trees, the branches all heavily
festooned with the gray Spanish moss,
hanging down sometimes in trailing
masses fifteen to twenty feet. The effect
was somber and rather indescribable.
It was a warm and somewhat sfill day,
and the gentle swaying of the long gray
mossv streamers save the scenery a
tinge'of melancholy, as if every tree was
draped for some great funeral occasion.
Thowater was of a reddish color, a littlo
like an infusion of tan-bark. This is
ascribed to the cypress-roots growing in
ihe water. . , , ,
Bowing slowly and quietly along the
shore, a the 'gators are quite fhy, we
bean to see floating around what)
looked like logs of wood, with the
rough bark ami knob! sticking above
the surface of the water the eyes look-1

are not caught down, and aro generally
diagonal. Lord Stanley scarfs, copies
of those worn by gentlemen, are also
used in the s juare openings of basques,
and these are of the gay satin, silk, or
velvet which trims the dress elsewhere.
Pointed basques arc among the
first favorites, just at present,
and many such styles, plain in
front, have showy extensions at tho
back, with cither the center or else the
side-forms caught up in curving lines,
well trimmed at tho points of fastening.
To give variety to otherwise plain
basnues. vounir ladies have sets oi satm
or cUc plaid velvet comprising a gathered
' fichu, u belt with chatelaine bag, and
, Kici.vc trimmings, which they pass from
present, and appears in the larger num
ber of imported toilettes. When tho
panier drapery is arranged for a slender
figure, it is massed well at the side and
drawn .-handy back: for stouter ladies
, it is placed lower, curving over the fig-
ure and having us terminating piana
taken in with any seam baclc of
the hips. Some of the best polonaise
effects are seen in costumes which rep
resent a trimmed skirt with polonaise
attached. These, when well made, aro
! handsome for street or walking suits,
, w
gotten, and appears in many handsomo
garments. When a basque-like effect
is admired, this is produced by the ex
tension of the centers below the waist
line, and into or underneath these cen
ters the fullness and drapery
of the sides and skirt-ccntcrs
arc generally arranged. Although
an attempt has, been mado to
displace tlie Princcs.se dress, this is nev
ertheless the chosen model for handsoma
materials. Draperies and trimmings
may often confuse the eye, but the single-piece
design proves to be the founda
tion. Of minor points which have re
cently appeared on Princesse dresses
there are scarfs for ovcrskirt draperies
which arc shirred at the centers, and
also at ono side, where the ends are
completed with full trimming, the op
posite ends passing underneath the train,
with a large bow for a finish. Princesse
dresses are also elaborately trimmed
with passementeries, cnibro'idery, lace
and fringe. Xew basques are open

close the shirring placed upon
tho dress-skirt. Polonaises are
taken up at the sides and back in the
most decided fashions. Sometimes the
center-front also is greatly shortened by
shirring Hues; again the fronts are left
open, ending in points which hang much
below the outline of any other portion

in collarettes, shirred fichus, etc., but
ladies to whom large collars are becom

have detached squares of gay materia

Endurance of the Horse.
In onler to test the endurance oi
horses in the cavalry service, a trial
match on horseback was recently un
dertaken by eight Italian officers o"f the
Xovara Cavalry Regiment. The task
was to travel 312 miles from Milan,
through Verona, Modena and Piscenza,
back to Milan in five days, over roads
generally good, but in some few places
muddy, "with deep ruts. The task was
accomplished with some hours to spare,
and without undue fatigue to the horses.
Thirteen pounds of corn, and from six
and a half to eight and a half pounds of
hay were found to be sufficient daily ra
tions for each horse during the march,
and occasionally a little water thickened
with a little flour and salt. On arriving
at their stables the horses were always

held her and the water that gave her
life "aren't vou rather lonely? Shut

you would say I ought to be happy if

"Tell us all about it pray do," beg
ged many little voices.
"Hear! hear! hear!" harked th
bronze dog that stood on the top of the
marble clock. " A storv from the bot

the feather duster, as it hopped quickly
in, on its one wooden leg, from the hall,
where it had been lying on the mat.
"must hear it, too. Clock, couldn't
you stop ticking for a little while?"
. " Sorrv I can't oblige you," said the
clock, in'a fairy-bell-like" tone; " but I
was wound up this afternoon, and so I
mil-it go on for a week ; but I'll tick as
-oftly as pos-ible, and vou won't notice
it as'soon as the story begins."
"Now, Bottle," barked the small
bronze (log, " we're all ready."
" Yes, go ahead." called the drummer-boy
from the ltd of the match-safe.
" Well, if you insist upon it, and it
really will give you pleasure," said the
bottle, modestly, " although I had no

"Manufactory?" said the ivy.
"Manufactory," explained the Iwittle
"a place where they make liottles."
"Oh!" said the ivy. " You see, I
didn't know, 'cause there's no place
where they make ivies. Ivies grow."
" I left the manufactory," continued
the bottle, "with a number of other
bottles enough like me to have been my
brothers and sisters."
"Perhaps they were," barked the
bronze dog.
" Very likely," said the bottle. "And
we were all carried down into a dismal
