The New Jersey Midland Railroad has just
issued its balance sheet of earnings for the
year 187 6. The gross earnings aggregate the
unprecedented sum of $669,485.47. This
line from New York to Middletown is
growing in its business and receipts faster
than any short road in the country. Its rc-
ccipts for July last. for transportation of milk
were $23,500—and total for the year for that
fluid $139,088, and for freights other than
milk, $309,068, while its passenger receipts
were $151,293. With economical manage-
ment this branch of the Midland is as sure to
rise to par value again, and maintain it, too,
as any short-line road tapping New New York
city. It runsthrough a country thickly pop
. lilated and exceptionally rich in its produc-
lions.

Disinfectant.
Chlorine is the most powerful agent for the
destroying of contagious ml‘asnuztl'. It has
long been employed in solution, in cases of
scarlet fever, in Europe, with the utmost suc-
cess. From a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful
is given every two or three hours without the
addition of any other substance.- The solu-
tion should be fresh made and-.‘swallowed
quickly to avoid coughing. In the sore
throat sometimes accompanying the fever it
is more easily swallowed than mucilaginous
drinks. The whole quantity in the cases of
children has never exceeded two ounces, and
in adults five ounces. For its anti-contagious
powers we have abundant testimony. It.

The Williams and Guion new steamer Da-
kota, was stranded on the North coast of
Wales a few hours from Liverpool at a place
called Point Limas. A cable despatch says a
storm of thunder and lightning was raging at
the time and the steamer got ten miles out of
her course in the thicknessof the fog. The
passengers and crew Were all saved, mostly
by the life lines thrown over the vessel from"
the rocky crags, by the Welsh coast guards-
msn, notwithstanding the high surf and break-
ers. One boatload of women and children
had an exceedingly narrow escape, having
struck once against the rocks, but a high wave
fortunately carried it to the top of a crag and
left it there, whence the coast guard rescued
them all. With the coming of daylight the
mist which had enveloped the steamer clear-
. ed away, and another large steamship was
observed passing close at hand. Rockets
were at once set ofi’ from the Dakota warning
her of the coast, and thus probably averting
another disaster. The total number of pas-
sengers on the Dakota was about 200 steeragc
and crew. , .
Point Limas, is the very same- spot welire
the “Royal Charter,” an Australian emigrant
clipper, was wrecked in October, 18:38, when
nearly 400 souls perished. Over a year ago
also the splendid ocean steamer Abbotsford
was wrecked on the same point and proved a
total loss. ' No lives were lost however by
shipwreck. Point Limas is in Shire of An-
glesia,Wales, on the very northern point of
the shire. The Dakota was a splendid iron
steamer of about 3,500 tons burden, and was
valued at $750,000. She was commanded by
Captain James Price, J r., who has the repu-
tation of being a thoroughly skilled and ex—
perienccd mariner. It is supposed both ship
and cargo were fully insured.
, The passengers were all returned to Liv-
erpool next day and sailed again Saturday on
their steamer the Wisconsin. This is the first
serious accident that has happened to this ex—
ceptionably fortunate line. The steamer has
broken in two and is a total loss.

In the adversity of our best: friends we al-
ways find something flint does not displease
i a. '
.petitioners, the Good Fathers in a paroxysm
Masses. Eni'rons:,— , ,3 .
In these hard timesitdoes one’s heart good
to see the reform and retrenchment going on
to relieve us over-burdened taxpayers. It
makes our bosoms swell with pride to think
that reform commenced in lh'c good old town.
of Norwalk.
Over four years ago, before the Beecher-
Tiltori scandal was thought of certain tax
payers of Wilton petitioned the town of
Norwalk for a feasible road from Belden’s
Hill to Winnipauk. The good fathers of the
tawn, taken down with a sudden fit of econ-
omy refused to comply. The petitioners ap-
plied to the Superior Court who appointed
commissioners to decide the case—as they
supposed ; but the, G. F. (that stands for,
flood Fabian-Q employed eminent. counsel to?
oppose this case. The newly appointed King "
of the adjacent.province of Wilton caught the.
couiplaiut‘U. e. rigid economy).and, notwith-
standing, the towu of \Vilton had voted lg
grant the road to the petitioners, be, upon In.
own. rcsponsibility,cmployed eminent counsel
to assist in defeating the road.
For over four long years have they succeed-
ed iii keeping the ball moving. The strategy
that be has used to g'et adjouriiiucnts and
delays has, I have no doubt, been an auxiliary
to secure for one of the eminent counsel the.
office of Brigadier General of the National ’
Guard; and for the other a seat in the United ,
States House of Represctatives. . But how
have we, tax payers been benefitted? The
expenses of the suit now amount to iiearlylis
much as the road would hav'c cost, and as the
commissioners have decided in favor of the
of rigid economy are about to appeal, or have
done so, to the, Supreme Court of Errors,
which will, I suppose, cost as much more.
Now I think there is more chance of suc-
cess at the Supreme Court of’ Errors than
there has been from the decisions already
rendered, all of which have been in favor-
of the petitioners; and, as we have to pay,
for the road tiered over as the case now stands,
I for one, do not wish to run the chance of
having to pay tin-(e tones the amount the
road would have cost without the litigation.
I for one, am in favor of a little extravagance
along with all this rigid economy.

Our readers may like to know what is eti-
quette in Paris. Lucy Iloop‘ei'treats the sub-
ject in .‘lpplc-‘twl‘sJozn-ncl. According to her
showing, the rules of matrimonial courtship
ai'e,rigor0us. The suitor gets the formal per-
mission of the parents, and bargains with
before he begins to woo the woman. His first
eting with her after the settlement of the
:filiminaries is by exact appointment. lie is
carefully but not too elaborately dressed, and
she is attired simply but as effectively as
possible. They are then formally presented
to each other. Subsequently they meet with
her a boquet as a' token that lie is coming,
and he invariably wears full evening dress.
Miss Hooper asserts that this sort'of thing
continues until the marriage. She gives the
following social rules that are binding in the
highest Parisian society. The visiting hours
are from three to six. Men wear dark gloves,
and carry their hats into the dr 1' ring-moms.
Visits of condolence are conducted with care-
ful mournfulness of manner. What is con-
sidered good behaviour at balls is' not much
different from usage in this country, except
that gaming tables are adjuncts-of fashiona-
ble entertainments, and may be played at
without incurring censure. Reception days are
an institution, both for men and women, and
at such receptions refreshments are not es-
sential. As to dinners: “At dinner the host.
and hostess occupy each end of the table.
Should the host be a. widower, he would iii-
snlt his guests did he place a young woman at
the other end of his table. Ifageutlemanlic
placed next to a young, unmarried girl at a
dinner party, he must converse with her very
little, and only on the most trivial subjects.
It is very rude for a young lady to pretend
at a dinner party to be a small cater and to
boast of her lack of appetite—such :1 proceed-
ing is an insult to her entertainers. If fruits
are served at dessert, and you wish to peel a
pear or a peach, you must cut it. into quar-
ters and pure it horizontally ; to peel it round
and round iwonsidcred extremely countritied
and in bad taste. Nevertell a story at adinncr
unless requested to do so by the master or
the mistress of the house.”
Janus Pxii'rox’s Dunn—It is stated that
“Mr. James Patton is rejoicing over his first
baby.” Parton '3 I’arton? Yes, we remember
now. Mr. Partou married Fanny Fern. IVas
her third husband. And when she (lied he‘l
married her daughter—his step—daughter. But
he could not. endure the idea of being a step—
father. It was repugnant to his feelings. So
he married her, and then discovered the laws
of the state did not recognize such marriages,
and asked the law-makers to make a little law
for him, but they refused, and he moved off
the premises without notifying the landlord,
sinée which time we had not heard of him until
this baby reminded us of these things. But
what bothers us now is to fix Mr. Parton’s
relationship—or rather his numerous relation-
ships 0 that baby. In the first place,ought
we to call him a father or; a grandfather?
Because it is his child, and his grandchild.
But if that baby is his grandchild and Pai'ton
is its father, bless us, Parton must be brother
to himself I That is quite clear. And if Par-
ton is his own brother, why, thenfimust bc
uncle to that baby. ’I‘hnt follows, course.
And if he is uncle to that baby his wife must
be its aunt. Why, there is no end 'to this
confusions Of course Mrs. Parton can’t be
aunt and mother at the same time. The idea
is absurd. We see now where we were in
error. The exact relationship may be stated
thus: Parton is afather and—is it a half or
fourth grandfather? No matter; call it half.
Consequently that; baby is— is———. Now,
Fanny Fern took him as her thirds, husband,
and Partons’s present wife being her daugh-
ter, and not his, that daughter’s baby is no
kin to him. ' That sounds absurd, too, very.
Allowing it is Partou‘s child, to begin with.
Parton is its father, and he is just as much
its grandfather, unless it: is the intention not.
to permit the poor thing to have any grand-
father at all. Now, if 'it is his grandchild
and he was Fanny Fcrn’s third husband, and
this baby is the child of her daughter, every
time hetakes it on his knee—it. couldn’t pos-
sibly be twins, could it? No, _tliat: isn’t it.
Yet there does appear to be two generations
in that one baby somehow. The idea of daug-
ling two generations on one knee. That is
the most ridiculous idea of all. Why, it
that child were really Fanny Fern’s daugh-
ter‘s child, and Parton was third husband to
Funny, and father to her daughter now, it
ain‘t possible Parton could pick himself up
and dandlc himself on his own kneel This is
the most serious inatriuiofial complication
we ever tried to solve. W o are unable to do
more than crack the shell ; the real kernel
appears to be shrouded in complications as
numerous as the folds enwrappiug an Egyp—
tian mummy. ’We are afraid to pursuctlie
subject any further, lest the horrible suspi-
cion that (lawns upon us thattliat baby should
prove to bc Patton’s father should be verified.
As it is, we think it ought not to be Patton‘s
father. ~I’z‘llsbm-g Ulrrom'ole. '

Doe SHOW—FASHIONS.
New Yul—ix, May 9, 1817
DEAR annr'rr: :—
THE snwrxo antenna: once.
The most interesting thing that has happen-
ed for many years, is the drop in sewing ma-
chines. The business has been controlled for
years by a ring organized by two or three .of
the largest companies, who in the early years
of the business succeeded in getting control
of the points without which no machine can
be made. These companies compelled all
others to pay royalties, and really kept a
great many out of the 'field by refusing to
license them at all. Last Tuesday all these
patents expired, and now the trade in sewing
machines is free and unincumbered. That
the burden imposed by this ring may be un-
derstood, I may say that one company has
paid in the last ten years, nearly a million of
dollars. But the great trouble with the bus-
iness has been the credit system and the
enormous expense of selling. The commis-
sions paid to agents mount up terribly, and
then most of the machines have been sold on
two years credit, on what are called leases,
the company owning the machine till it is
paid for. There was the loss of interest on
the vast capital this system necessitated, and
there was the enormous expense of detectives,
collectors and processes to recover, all of
which made the business of selling a machine,
the first cost of which was perhaps $20. “0t
very profitable. All this changes. The
Weed company reduced the price of machines
_ earlyahalf, the day the patents expired,
and all the other companies who make ma-
chines competing with it, were forced to fol-
low suit. They intend or far as practicable
to bringic business down toa cash basis,
and the people who can pay will have the
benefit of the reduction; inasmuch as under
the old‘system a woman who couldn't get
credit for a loaf of bread could get possessidn
of a 5570 sewing machine. This change of
base will work to the disadvantage of the
poor, but the really paying people will be
advantaged by it.

One of the richest merchants in the city
was R. 11. Macy, who died a few weeks ago.
Mr. Macy made a will, and to the astonish—
mentof his friends, he left his only son an
income of only $1,000 a year, and gave as a
reason for it that the young man was hope-
lessly depraved and totally unfit to be trusted
with property. As it happens to be entirely
true, it is a striking commentary on the use-
lessness of human calculations. Macy’s am-
bition was to have his son a gentleman, and
to have him spend the vast estate he was
gathering like one. Accordingly, he was all
his life furnished with all the money he could
spend, and he went through the-usual routine
of a fast young New Yorker’s life. He had
high company, drank expensive wines, ,drove
fast horses, etc., all of which pleased the old
gentleman well enough till he woke one day
to the bitter knowledge that his boy had con-
tracted habits which he could not throw off,
and that made a blackguard of him instead
of a gentleman. He made the old man’s life
unhappy by his low associations; and he had
the bittcrness of seeing the boy who had been
his pride, degenerate into a debauchce, who
could not hold the respect of any one, and
who was the laughing-stock of his acquaint-
ances and the disgrace of his. family. Now
for the moral. The immense business of the
Macy establishment will hereafter be con-
trolled by a man who entered the store a
fricndless boy, and who worked his way up
slowly but surely, and who, ten years ago,
would have been glad to clean his employer’s
son's boots. This is only one case in thou-
sands, though very few make known the dc-
linquencics of their children as freely. as did
Macy. The average young man of rich pa-
rents, in this city is not a reliable being.
THE DOG snow.
The prettiest show of the last sixteen
months, not excepting the big Centennial,
and the one most completely carried out, is
the dog show under the auspices of the
Westminster Kennel Club, which is compos-
- ed of sporting gentlemen fond of fine dogs
who wish to awaken interest in improving
their breeds. About fifteen hundred entries
of handsome dogs of almost 'every degree,
from the Great St. Bernard and Siberian
watch-dogs to toy terriers, makes a collection
as interesting as it is possible to name, to any
one having a common liking for the noblest
kind of brute, hardly excepting the horse.
The Rev. Mr. M’Donna, the celebrated Eng-
lish authority on dogs, kindly crossed the
ocean to attend the show, and brought dogs
with him of the highest breeding known in
the world. Other English lovers of dogs
sent their pets, and noble animals they were
though not handsomer to the uneducated eye,
and not more intelligent looking, than many
not valued so highly, belonging to American
owners. Contrary to the general idea, the
St. Bernards of pure breed are not black and
white, but red, fawn and yellow, with not a
single black hair among them. The larger
part of the entries were of sporting dogs,
some of which were sent from Michigan,
Missouri and Virginia. The dark Irish set—
ters, and field spaniels were the handsomest
exhibited. The pet toy dogs, though costly,
were the ugliest of their race. There were
pugs, which nearly drew ascream of disgust
at their horrid ugliness, terriers, bred in and
in till there is nothing of them but enough
black to shiver with, and greyhounds that
looked like skinned chickens, blue and starv-
ed. The pets lay on satin cushions and had
,lacc on their collars; but one honest New—
foundland or spaniel, with most of my read-
crs would outweight in interest the whole
weakly, expensive set, representing though
they did a value of thousands of dollars.
There were a very large number of these
monstrosities valued at a thousand dollars
each, and for which that price is actually
asked and obtained; and it does seen; as
though the uglier and more frightful the
beast, the more money a fashionable woman '
is willing to give for it. The show was in-
structive as well as pleasant. There were
dogs trained to a degree of intelligence that
very many humans do not possess, and the
usefulness of the animal was demonstrated
in very many ways. The proceeds of the
exhibition goes to the founding of a. hospital
for disabled dogs, under the charge of Mr.
Bergh. Curious that dogs should have a hos-
pital, when so many humans are unslieltercd.
FASHIONS. -
Taste in the small accessories of the toilet
is more cultivated year by year among our
countrywomen. Elegant silk stockings, dcl-
icate, fanciful handkerchiefs and neckties, to
say nothing of the cxtravagances under the
name of lingerie, take a large share of a
fashionable woman’s spending money. Of
course those who have less will not be satis-
fied without at least approaching the luxuries
of others above them. Embroidered silk
stockings are hardly called for as much as the
lisle thread, in shades to match those of the
dress, light blue, rose color, lilac and violet,
the same being repeated in stockings for chil-
dren. Clocked stockings are no longer in
first taste. Handkerchiefs in lawn with fine,
thin silk borders almost as sheer, in rose, sky
blue and pale violet are pretty, cheap and
refined looking. Smyrna lace has the same
run that cluny did ten years ago, and is seen
everywhere, from the inner garment of a
lady to the parasol, and the collar about her
neck. But it is no way fit. for the finer uses
of the toilet, and should be confined to use-
ful underclothing, and in finer qualities to
trimming linen lawns, on which it is very
well placed. The extravagance with which
childrcn are now dressed is startling. The
writer saw led into a large store, the other
day, a boy of five years, wearing an overdress
of light blue velvet, bordered completely
with the expensive silver fox fur which adorn-

It is possible that the carnival shows and
tableaux in which children have been so con—
.spicuous lately have fostered this love of
finery where it is hardly best placed. It
looks very pretty to see boys and girls dressed
like the court children in antique pictures,
but when they don’t happen to be young
princes or even counts or countesses at.all,
but. the offspring of hard—working and anxrous
financiers in Wall street, a dozen of whom
go down every two years, the idea. doesn t
seem so well carried out. Theatricals on
American streets are uncalled for. Pierce.
