Home Life Doors of Solid Bronze that
Cost Fortunes lu Theouelve Tho 3Las
nate' Private Koom.
The public haa been pretty well in
formed rujrard ng the interior of Mr
William H. Vanderbilt's house, still
there is much that has been overlooked
by those who have written about it that
would be of quite as much interest to
the general public, aud particularly the
feminine parr, which always rejoices in
details ot" all the dainty little odds and
ends that men do not notice. The ex
terior of this almost palace is compara
tively plain, and gives but little indica
tion of what is to be seen inside, where
boundless wealth has been used with a
profusion alniGSt too lavish. The main
entrance to this house is one rf the most
pleasant things about it, and it consi-ts
of a large square room covered with
stained glass and with glass walls and
tiled rioor. It is called a "vestioul,"'
but is large enough for an ordinary
house, and it would make a pleasant
room were it notv!;at it is. There is no
furniture save one or two -eats. From
this open ioors leading into Mr. Van
derbilt's Collie on the south -ide and to
Mr. .-loane's honse on the north.
The door opening into Mr. Vander
bilt's house from the vestibule is of
bronze and :s the counterpart of the
famous door? of the Lutheran C'uurcli
ia Home, thouirh it does not -ei-m to
me .i large. It op'n- in the center

it may be called. This immense room
L- square and receives its light from the
siained-glasa roof, as the aiTaniienieai.
of the tipper lio. -rs leaves tin- space
clear up to tin roof. The staircases
are at the western side of the room,
and. though wide and commodious.

rioor inlaiii with dillerent colored wooda
and covered for the greater part with a
large Turkish carpet, and with larire
Turkish and Persian niirs before every
door and before the enorniou- fire
place, which occupies nearly one-half
the -ou'h wall of the room. Piiiars
support ;h gallery all around the
square, and beside two of them in front
of the hall door stand two bronze
statue.-. I fonret who thev represent.
The prevailing tiflts in this .mile are
dark maroon, copper, bronze and rold.
and dark neutral tints in the carpeting.
Without the liirht from above it would
be gloomy and somber. The chimney
is a marvel of art. and is decorated
with large bronze statues in half-relief,
and the tire-place is large enough to
hold several logs four or rive feet lonir.
When the tire is burning the etFeet must
be very handsome, as it would light up
with brilliancy all the polished metal
to be seen in every direction, and would
call to mind some of the ancient homes
in foreiirn lands.
Standing in the center of this room a
new view presents itself at every turn.
On the north -ide are the -tairca!-e and
the door leading into Mr. Vandert.ilt's
private library and sittinz-rooms. on
the east the large door ives a glimpse
into the irmnd salon, the south into the
dining-room, and the west into the
picture-irallerv and through that to tbe
conservatory, which adds a grace which
only flowers can give to any bome.
In this irreat hall hanir two portraits,
life ize both one of the late Commo
dore Vanderbilt and the other of the
owner of the house. William H. Vander
bilt. Both are said to be excellent like
nesses, but it must be admitted that the
father was handsomer than the -m is.
The wde entrance to the grand par
lor is hunc with Gobelin tanesrrv rpm-p-
tenting an Arcadian scene, and the rioor ! al- Q,leL are the porcelain and oth

the room.
In each corner of the front of the
panor is a mirror, tail ana narrow,
which is framed rnja frame made up of
glass cut m racets. which must throw
out light like diamonds when the rooms
are illuminated at night. On the west
side of the parlor wall on each side of

and gilt, each of them four feet
high and nearlv six feet long. Thev

copper in color, and of the mo-t elegant
modern-ancient stvie. "
In the center of the parlor stand two
glass cases, one containing a figure of
the goldess of fortune on her wheeL
dispensing her golden gifts. This fig
ure in all Is about two feet high, of
ivory, and carvi d entirely from one
tusk. It is exquisitely done. The other
case contains a number of cunons and
rare articled, such as articles of lewtlrv i
of ancient make, and each having a his
tory. There is a necklace, a couple of
bracelets, two or three lockets of rare
workmanship with historical pictures
Inside, several jeweled daggers aad
other small arms, all picked out and
fretted with gold, and several ancient
suutF-boxes. all of them giving the b
holder an almost irresistible desire to
learn their histories. There are elegant
bronze and gilt ornamentJ in many
places in the room, but too many to
particularize. The whola aspect is
gleam and glow of gold and crystal,
with copper, bronze, and silver besides.
More to my quieter taste is tha
private sitting-room of Mr. William H.
Vanderbilt. on the left of this parlor.
Here all is cool green, in color and tint,
and a quiet, reposeful feeling is en
gendered on entering. Here the great
railroad marnate sits in hia loved
seclusion, and probably smokes bis re
flective after-dinner cigar. A large
table stands in the middle of the room,
with a paper-knife, weights and two or
three other little trifles on it, and there
also lies a large pile of unopened let
ters. A pIainebony writing-desk stood
open in one corner of the room, with
pen. ink and papers about, just as il
he had risen hastily and none awav
with the intention of returning imme
diitely to rinish his work. One win
dow gives a view of Fifth avenue, and
makes abundant light. Easy ana
chairs stand about as if for every-day
Use. and everything is delightfully'eom
fortable and re.-tful. In one corner ol
the room is a stand of books, and
another holds a table covered with ar
ticles too numerous anil also too artis
tic to mention separately Just above
these hangs a pencil draw.no;, very
long and very narrow, by" Alma
Tadema, and below that a velvet frame
containing small medallions painted
on ivory -ifter tae pictures painted by
the artists themselves, of Titian.
Raphael. Da Vinci, and Guido. In
another place are those of Rubens,
Van Dyck, L'oliins. Durer and Carlo
Dolci. also from or ginals.
There are also many other paintings
in this room and the library, all worthy
of notice by lovers of " art. but of
which, perforce, I must leave the men
tion for the present. There are several
large vases of rare and costly porcelain
ana bronze in this room, but it is not
overloaded with ornaments.
The librarv is back of this room and
I ;
is lighted only by a window which opens
into the large vestibule, and what light
reaches it from Mr. Vanderbilt's own
room. The furniture is sparse, but ex
ceedingly comfortable, and in the win
dow stands a large revolving globe.
Above the chimney is a lon mirror,
and alone in front of it are placed no
end of little Dresden figures, not more
than lour mche- high; and they look
od.tiy out of place in this room, de
voted to the u-es of a man who is sup
posed to have hi- mind so occupied
with weiirhtv su ect.-. The sillv. in-
sanO little face
and
mean.nriess smites
and smrivs on their pink and white

I had to look at them oiten, but per

to tnink mat these little effigies must
have been modeled some time or other

'no hates to leave this room, so

though it is rare and almo-t priceless,
! and a figure of a boy lying lazily at full
1 length upon a table on his stomach with
his heel- in the air.
I The tables here are of Japanese
! make, and are decorated in their pe
culiar style of art, and covered with
black satin table-cloths richly em
broidered in silks, and gold and silver
thread-. Impossible birds fly on the
surfaces, and hsh such as never swam
in the -va are embroidered with a bril
liancy and beauty impossible to de
scribe. The walls and windows are
hung with tine painted split bamboo
and straw hanging-, and two magnifi
cent ebony cabinets are fall to over
flowing with curios and Japanese pot
tery. Several irreat bronze vases stand
about with horrible dragons looking
like the wildest imairininir of a raving
lunatic of an artist del.ruus with opium",
and other thing wherein quaint and
grotesque fancies had the ascendancv
in the producer's mind, and some pret
tv but sillv women's faces. In short, i
this room transported the beholder into i
Japan, and the charm was real until
i broken by a giimp.-e into the immense
dining-room that is like that of some
old ea..tle in feudal times.
The ceiling is frescoed in a hunting
scene in thelining-room. The floor is
covered mostly by a large Turkish car
pet, and the prevailing color is dark,
rich brown. Around two sides of the
rooin are :ass cases containing the
dishes and plate otf which the million
aire and h.s family eat- The glimpses
caught liere and there show China o
the rarest kind, each article a work ol
art in iL-el. The plate is too numerous
and too tine to mention in detail, as
in iui- imiuea-e room oi carveu uars
wood. A larg'1 sideboani is at the west
end of the room, and two large window
give light. Several handsome pictures
al-o add their charm to make this a
cheerful place, but it seems to me that
if it were my home I should
want a smaller dining-room for use
when there were none but our own
fanidy. This is too large.
From th.- dining-room you cross the
great ball again, going w -stwaal to
ward the great picture galleries and
conservatory. Below, in the basement,
are the k:tcheu and the store-rooms
and cellar, all fitted up on a scale as
solid and thorough as all the rest of the
house, the kitcnen emg resplendent
with a great shining range and a per-
fectly ravishing row of polished copfer
and "ther utensils of which it is but
candid to admit that I don't know hall i
the names or uses. j

Potency. and Social
The first Xapoleon's hatred of and
contempt for "i-aIogues" expressed in
part the practical man's scorn for mere
dreamers, but expressed far more the
antagonism of brute force to that subtle
ideal foroe with which it had to strug
gle in vain. For ideas have their own
laws of growth, and as the tender shoot
of some vegetable organism will up
heave the heavy .mmI or" split the hard
rock, so will the development of some
new conception often defy the con
straints of material compression. The
minute egg of the coral animal may
grow into an oceanic islet, or into a
reef besides which ships may sail for
days, or even into a densely peopled
land, with its railways, cities and busy
commerce. Similiarly. an idea from
the brain of some Descartes or Hobbes,
some solitary sage of Konigsberg, or a
Genevan skull, full of imagination, but
empty of morals, may. in the course of
a few centuries, transform the aspect of
the civilized world. The present is a
time when scientific conceptions have a
quite exceptional social potency, and
we venture to think that some of those
who have attained currencv merit more
attention from non cientific readers
than they have received on account of
the relations they bear to temporary
politics. We believe that many of the
errors of even the most extreme school
of Nihilists are the outcome of one re
condite and mistaken philosophic idea,
apparently quire remote from the sphere
of politics. This idea may be shortly
expressed as the mechanical conception
of the universe. But if we an riht in
believing that this conception is at the
root of such political error-, thev have
also a common origin from a source
much less remote. Thev iua be con
sidered, in the tir-t place, a.- develop
ments of the main political error
of Jean Jacques Rousseau, whose
dreams have had re-ult- which now
threaten so much of Europe with revo
lution and anarchy. This main politi
cal error is the conception that the art
of politics is a mere matter of counting
heads, one man being.absurdly repre
sented to be "as good as another."
Hence arises the profound error of re
garding a nation a a mere loose aggre
gate of -.imilar units, instead of as an
organic whole" composed of a system of
mutuallv related parts (having very dif
ferent values and very diverse runctions)
from the family upward. But this im
aginary reduction of one national, or
ganic whole into a ma-s of separate,
similar atoms is reallv but one of manv
examples of that modem tendency to
regard all action as merely mechanical
which has increasingly invaded every
branch of knowledge, to the profound
detriment of monils and religion.

Who's a IIoitr!
A story is tld by -onie of the old res
idents of the State to the effect that the
word was tir-t applied to Indianians
about the time when Madison was the
center of a large pork rnide. and th
farmers for a nuudred miles around
would drive their hogs there in great
droves. The peculiar noL-e that they
kept up in driving the swine -sounded
-omethinar like hoo-ie! hoo-ie" hoo-i..'
led to their b'ing called, by a corrup
tion of the sound. Hoosier-." The -tory.
if true, would make the origin -.f the
word comparatively recent, and it ean
not be accepted with credence for the
reason that the palmy porkoply days
of Madison wen long after the liio-ier
hal become known.
The first that L- known of the w ord
appearing in print was in I.i5W. when
John F'inTey. the Wayne County piet,
wrote a New Year's poem for the
Journal entitled "A Hoosier's Nest."
in which a description of the pioneer
cabin in Indiana Is given. The poem.
in the ligut of one of the traditional
storie-. gives something of an idea of
the manner in which the word came
into u-e. The fir-t few lines read:
I'm told in ndlnjf somewhere we-t
A stranger found a "Hoomer s nt-sr, "
In other words, a Buckeye cabin.
Juat biif enough to hold gueun Mab in.
Its situation low but airy
Wan on th? borders of a prairie:
And. fi-anntf hi- mhfht be benighted.
He bailed the house anil then ulnratcnL
The Hoosier met him at the dour.
Their salutations soon were o er.
It was the custom among the early
pioneers in Indiana in traveling through
the country to hail a cabin by calling
out: "Who live" here?" and "Who's
here?" About the time of the treaty of
peace with the Indians, in 11. and
when the State was verv spar-ely set
tled, travel was attemfed by great
dangers, and no man ever rode away
from home without bis rirle. As a com
mon precaution of safety, when a
traveler iaw in the di-tance the smoke
from a camp or cabin fire, he would
call out, upon coming w-.thm hearing
distance. "Who's here?" and from the
respon-e he would know if he was
among friend. From a corruption of
this form of salutation the people of In
diana were called Hoosier. Doubtless
settlers, in writing back to friends at
their old homes, would say that they
"were among the Hoosiers." and in a
few vKtrs the appellation sprang into
general u-e. General W. H. H. Ter
rell, whose researches in the early his
torv of Indiana have been thorough, and
who may be accepted as authority, says
that this Is the true origin of the word,
and Governor Wright is credited with
saving that it wa.- a corruption of the
form of salutation of the early -ettler
of the Western country. A critical in
terpretation of Finley's poem seem to
give proof of this explanation. Itulian
