Two Dish Women. ' •
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.
The small boy who" was sent by hie
mother to invite some neighbors to tea was
asked by the invited if his maternal parent
would expect them if it rained, to which
he naively replied, "Oh, yes I heard her
say the wanted to have it over with."

A Late nelipse.
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. A Circus had
offered hini 525 a week to be stared at.
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.

Tidal Waves on the Lakes.
' The great wave which rushed into 'Cleve-

vibration continuing for several hours. In
, 1834 the waters above the Sault rapids
suddenly receded, and in half an hour

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. '

JENNY CRAMER:1;8 FATE.
Warning Against the Wiles of Libertine*.
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.'
Private credit is wealth, public honor
security ; the feather that adorns the royal'
bird supports its flight ; strip hire of his
plumage and you fix him to the earth.
