' • Fifth avenue, New York, contains two ladies of great wealth, each of whom may be said to live alone, with the exception of servants. One of -these is MM. • A. T. Stewart, who occupies a palace which cost 51,000,000. The taxes alone, on this grand establishment, :are $12,500. She has a dozen servants and', a house -keeper,-. but otherwise lives alone, though often visited by her young and expectant relatives. The other is Miss Har- riet Lenox, sister of the philanthropist, wbo occupies the, house built by the latter when Fifth avenue first became an aristocratic street. She also lives alone, with the exception of the servants, but her purpose in life is to carry out her brother's philanthropic schemes, for which reason he made her his sole heir. Old Robert Lenox, founder of the family, had four children -a son and three daughters.. Harriet is the last of the line, which; in the event of her death, will become extinct. She is, like her late brother, a recluse, but devotes her time and her wealth to beneficence, Which is Adminis- tered through approved Oh,antiels of use- fulness.

Apropos of the' recent &Aar eclipee, a story worthy of Hacklaender has recently gone the round of the German papers. • It appears that on the morning of the event alluded to Captain Von 5 • , of the — Fusiliers, issued the following verbal order to his company, through his sergeaiat- major, to be ; cbminunieated to the men after forenoon parade : " This afternoon a solar eclipse will take place. At 3 o'clock the whole company will parade in thebar- rack yard. Fatigue jackets and caps. • I shall explain the eclipse to !the men. • Should it rain, they will assemble in the drill shed." The sergeant -major, having • set down his commanding officers instruc-, tion e in • writing, as he had understood them, formed the •company into hollow ,•square at the coeclusion of the ,morning "drill, and read his version of the order to them, thus : "'Thie afternoon a solar eclipse will take place in the barrack yard, by order of the' captain, and will be attended by the whole company, lin fatigue jackets and caps.. The captain will con- duct the solar eclipse in person. Should- it rain, the eclipse will take place% the drill shed." • GYunalier, the Hungarian sleeper, who in Pennsylvania took the, lengest nap on record since that of Rip Van Winkle, is said to be in the Allentown poorhouse, the victim of a fatal disease.

Whether it demanded that he should sleep • to order, and at any required length, is not stated; but he refused to be made a, show, even at these wage% There is no doubt that hie wianderfel bleep is genuine, and that long after he is dead it will be remem- bered and quoted as phenomenal. • The Prince and Princess of Wales inspected the corps of COramiseionairei at Marlborough House on the anniversary of Waterloo, and a Chelsea, Hospital man named.

DIRTIIIDAy. OE PARNELL. - Panjell Pined and Wined by ills Associates. A London Cablegram, dated last (Wa- nesday) night, says: The Irieli Parlia- mentary party gave Mr. Parnell a dinner to -night at the Westminster Palace Hotel in honor of his birthday, T'hirty mem- bers of the advanced party were present,' and Mr. Justin McCarthy was in the chair. The reunion is noteworthy .as an expres Bien of confidence in Mr. Parnell, and as a sign that the danger of a threatened split is at an end. Among those • present were Messrs. Dillon, Healy and O'Donnell, who seemed at one , time inclined to separate themselves from the policy of the leader of the Irish party. The proceedings, however, • were of the most • amicable kind, • and • though it was arranged that the fewest passible speeches should be made there was, • a general concurrence of opinion that Mr. Parnell was the right man in -the right place. Pledges of loyalty were freely given by the few gentlemen called upon to speak. The utmost enthusiasm was manifested When allusions were made -to the leadership of Mr.- Parnell, eeveral members admitting that on occasions when they differed from hina in opinion as to the wisdom of the policy adopted, events _had proved that Mr. Parnell had always been in the right. Speeohee were made by Messrs. Dillon, Sexton, and O'Kelley, expressing the belief that if the policy of caution and wisdom were pursued with unflinching steadiness and resolution before many years had passed the party would aesernble, not in the capital of foreigners, but in the capital of their native land, when Mr. Parnell, instead of being the leader of a parliamentary party would be the recog- nized ebief of the nation. The proceedings were brought to a close by all singing " God Save Ireland." • The Dr. Burns glieresy Case. Says the New York Christian Union, of June 22nd: Our 'readers will perhaps remember that at about the time of the trial of Dr. Thomas, of Chicago, for heresy, a letter was,published addressed to hirn by Dr. Alexander 'Burns, of the Wesleyan Ladies' College, of , Harnilton, • Ontario, expressing- syrienathy for and with 'him: Dr. Burns has since been put on -trial for • heresy before his Conference and has just been acquitted. Even a resolution express- ing regret that the fetter was permitted to be published was yoted • down by the Conference. This is the first trial of the kind in the Canadian Church and excited intense feeling. • Dr. " Burns took substantially the ground of Newman Smyth and the Bread Churchnien geuerally, denying verbal inspiration, or that Christ's death was necessary to appease the wrath of the Father, or 'that eternal conscious torment is the necessarily correct interpre- tation of the Scripture metaphorical teach- • ing respecting future punishment. On the latter •point- he held.that a not improbable alternative was the deetrine of Conditional Immortality. The result of the trial indi- cates that in Canada, as in England, the. • Church maintains more than in the United States, the liberty of the ministry in the interpretation of Setipthre on doubtful and disputed points.

Q., writes that two bottles of Dr. Dow's Sturgeiin Oil Liniment cured his lame side • of three yearststandirig, caused by being run over by a load of lumber. He says it is a wonderful medicine. It is no wonder, how- ever, that he can express this opinion, for those who have taken any pains to discover its benefits have found that all diseasee- that are relieved or cured by a liniment • yield to it.

The Malley boys and 35h:turbo Douglu were, as anticipated, acquitted on Friday of the murder of jenny. Cramer. That they drove her to suipide and. despair, if they did not kill her be their -own imme- diate agency, is believed by 'eyery intelli- gent person who has followed the trial, and that there is no punishment for such murder will be regretted by every decent and honorable person. , It is the misfortune . • of libertines like the 'ISIalleyo' that they defy the scorn of reputable people and are insensible to remorse for„the death of either the soul or the body of their viotiins. Indeed, there is a certain atmosphere of public sentiment; which, so far from seeing • hideous wrong in the conduct of "boys" like the Bialleys, conapassionates them as the victims of vile persecution, if there are complaints of interference with their licentious pastimes. But the libertines • are again free; perhaps -with an • experi- ence sufficiently grave to at least avoid hereafter exciting so much euspioion of thennielves as to end in any , arrest for murder.'
