HUIIT8 IX ANTWERP. Jfcanws T&at Hits Taken Place In the Old Flemlih City. In walking about Antwerp, writes a iorrcspendunt of The New York Mail md Express, it was disappointing to find tho appcaranca of tho city so modern; my mind had always pictured (no anolcnt .Motherland capital as pc iuliarly quaint and rioli in tho old itylo architecture of tho low countries, aut oviuontly tlio uomon or improve mont has a strong hold in Bokrlum Near tho docks, along the Scholdo (from which tho city obtained its aamo Aen't work on tho wharf ) a low of tho narrow streets still retain iomo of their old-timo Dutch quaint ncss, but much of thoir characturistio pictureqnencsi was swopt away early in this century, to mako room for Na poleon's grand quays and basins, that ero constructed: at a cost ot la.vw. XX) francs; an enduring monument to tho utilitarian greatness of tho master 3i Europe, i approached tho river uy Iho way of tho "Grand placo," in which rises tho Hotel do Villo: hero iro to bo scon several ancient guild bouses, dating from about tho year lo.uuu; tho hotel itself is considered a fair specimen of tho architecture of Hie Renaissance of tho middle of tho middlo of the sixteenth century. A fow blocks beyond brings ono to tho quay Von Dyko, facing wicli is tho fish aiarkot, whoro abundant supplies of iresh usli aro sold eaeli morning ut public auction, ihosalosman names Inch price in sous for each lot, and then gradually descends until a bidder calls out "myn," and thus becomes a purchaser. Tho good ndvautnjro of this "Dutch auction" is that a silicic bid dccidos tho mattor ami prevents much confusion. Most of tho buyers ro women dressod in the odd garb of ,1... T.M I . rF.. i uiu ciiiuiiurs iiHii-wuu, who iiuui wuru retail thoir purchasos in tho market. lhcso fish transactions aro conducted in tho Flemish languago, a tonguo that differs but slightly from tho Dutch, both being branches of tiio lame family of Germanic laniruairos, Flemish, although rich and oxprossivo, aan not bo callod a cultivated tongue, Doing used by tho unoducatod only, urn possossod oi but little morntiiro, Notwithstanding tlioconturfos of Simu ifih, Austrian, and Frouch domination, tho languago remains unaltered bo- jauso novcr printed, oxcopt in prayer books, cntoohisins, etc., for tho use of Iho Iowor classos. French is tho lan ?uago of tho govornmont, legislature, the army, of most of tho newsminers. of publio traofiio, of literature, and of polito sooioty. This littlo kingdom of ooigium, winch is Jess than two liun urou mues long, and about half as broad, and is considered to bo one of tho most donsoly populated countries of the elobe, has still a third languago mo Walloon; it is a Coliiu-Frnnco-nlan Komanic patois, not entirely without a literature, there being a dictionary ox Unit, and a tongue occur ring occasionally in ancient docu ments and poems. The Walloons, who om brace about two-lift lis of tho population, oocupy tho country lying botwoon tho Prussian frontier and a lino drawn south from Liogo. Thoy nro a biiBy people witli many manu facturing industries, and lit Crossing thoir portion of tho kingdom tho trav eler at once notices tho contrast be tween their industrial ontorprlsos and that of tho highly cultivated and snill iiic agricultural district of thoir moro phlegmatic Flemish neighbors. Among the many odd and intorost inir structures in this older part of Antwerp ono of tho most important, historically and architecturally, is the most ancient "Steon," whoso grim walls and Hanking corner towers ori ginally formed a portion of the antique castle. In tho history of tho city it has played a tragic part, for it was here that 1'hllllp II. located the seat of tho inquisition during thoso terrible six years that tho duko'of Alva estab lished a tyranny in tho low countries, .which for extent and ferocity is al most unparalleled in history. Tho blood that was shed by orders 'emana ting from the dread interior of thoso dark, unohnritnbWi stones was not in vain; it brought upon tho Spaniards mo revolt oi mo province1), tho loss of tho Netherlands, and tho loss of tho Dutch republic. The building is now used as a museum of antiquities, the collection including weapons, armor, fragments of old buildings, and an cient furniture from tho liftoenth to tho eighteenth conXuries. And no I passed tho day, tramping about the busy thoroughfares, looking up at massive and venerable buildings, in specting tho "Porto do l'Esonnt," an ancient gateway embellished with sculpture., admiring tho many bronze statues of poets, painters, and heroes that beautify tho city, and iu driving through dark, narrow, winding streets, lined with dirty and repulsive houses, though bearing on their facades thoso quaint facial expressions peculiar to the houses fronting on the buck streets In all Europoan towns. Among the many publio and pnyato buildings visited that day not the loast interest ing was tho richly decorntod dwolling of Hubens, nlauned by himself, and though nearly throe centuries old a p. pours as if erected within a fow years. Here Rubens spent tho happiest yours of his life, surrounded by his treas ures, pictures and friends; and hero bo died on tho 30th of May, 1G40. People Who Buy Pots. "What sorts of people aro most for pet animals?" asked a reporter ot a dealer. "Such & variety of pej-sous like pots," aald ho, "aud thoy like thorn in bo many ways and for ho many ros ons, that it Is hard to say which ones have the oall. Perhaps its the good hearted people, and then perhaps it Isn't. The biggoU price 1 over got for a oat was 30, and that was from a man who would feAl sore about giv ing tHj, cents to a blood relation. He was a widower. Ono morning ho uamo in here to collect a bill, aud a fine Maltose of mmo kept rubbing against his leg. The widower mado believe not to notice thu oat, but at last ho looked up to mo quite suddenly and suldt 'I suppose a man has got to Jovo Bomothing, He said It as though it was a eort of hard. hip. Then he paid tho price without grumbling. "The wisest old cliaji that ever camw uto this store bought a terrier for a grandson of his who was a sort of an invalid. " 'Vy grandson's mighty irritable,' said tho old gentleman, 'and ho is hard to livo with, but if ho gots inter ested In this pup, ho'fl going to get well.' And sura enough ho did got woli. I have had quito a number of customers among peoplo in poor health. Thoy woro mostly ladios. Somo women take to pets becuuso thoy think no ono olso will oaro for them, or becauso thoy havo boon dis appointed in lovo aud want to care for something that will show afl'oction. "Thcro is ono curious difforcnoo be tween men and women about pots. A man will sometimes sell ono when It gots sick, but a woman will hold on to it until it gots woll or dies. Women that havo tho conuino lovo for animals seem to care all tho moro for pots that aro sick. I havo ofton sold them sick pots that thoy would not havo fancied had tho animals boon woll. A woman camo hero for a pug last winter, when I had advertised somo vory lino ones, but she concluded to tako a spaniel that looked as though ho wouldn't live a wcok. Tho dog got woll and became tho most ailoctionato animal 1 over saw. 'I am coldly distant to anything in tho nature of a watchdog. 1 coiildn t sell a watchdog if I allowed him to show too much familiarity on short acquaintance. Dogs intended to soil for nets must bo kont just on the razeed odco of alToctiou, as it wore If thov show too much lovo for the doalor somo ladios won't want thorn 1 havo had a tender-hearted lady re mark that sho wouldn't tako a dog of miiio becauso it would be cruel to part us. 01 course, a circumstance of that kind injures a dealor's businoss.

Somo of my bijreest tabbies havo boon sold to popplo who cared moro about getting a cheerful ellect in their rooms iliuu they did for cats. Uocs do noc seom to bo in lavor with musicians. A violinist onco told mo ho couldn't keep thorn because thoir barking grated on his ear. Rut musicians don't seem to euro for sinc- ing-birds any moro than for docs, and there is a bolief in tho trade that the only pot that coes woll with musicians is u monkey. Monkeys and purrots are not conuino pots; thoy are curiosities I havo known monkeys to show groat iondness lor oach other, lint they do not caro for human beincs. A lady customer oi mine lias three of thorn. Sho says that none of them has shown any allection for her. Sho likes thorn. partly becauso they amuso her and partly for a quoor idea she has. Sho suid she couldn't love a pot that re turned her nfi'ootlou. "People learn to disliko pots from queer causes. A woman camo hore to swap oil' a pot terrior because ho bark ed ono day when sho took oil' hor wig. Another woman gave me back a mon key at half price becauso, sho said, ho mado facos behind tier back sho saw him iu the glass. I told hor that mon keys hud a habit of making facos, and that it was necessary to their nature. And so it is. I've soon thorn go into a corner and make the most outrageous faces, without any apparent causo. Rut the old lady declared it was dis respectful. 1 had a parrot that had boon odueatod bv a sailor. When 1 told her about ft she took a strong fancy to tho bird becauso, sho said, she thought sho could reform it. "I know a man that spout a year in touching a monkey how to uso eye glasses.

Ono look at him was sulliolont. When you con sider what awful faces a monkoy can produce, even iu his most sereno mo incuts, and then imagiuo what he would be capable of developing with n ovoclass, you can calu an idea oi tho intrinsic value of such auauimal."

I heard it passed a dividend lust week." Mr. Ingalls took a header into a pile of papors on his desk, and the man sighed heavily and went out like u tallow candle In a draft. Alei'chmii 'Traveler. High Prlco for Literary Labor. The highest prico ever ottered tc any AmeVican for literary labor Issakl to have been made last year by Allen Thoit.diko Rice, of tho North 'Amcri. can Itcvicu to Gen.

The articles, if written, would probably havo averaged 4.00C words, or -M.liOO in all, and tho price mimed was $1'.000, being at thu rate of $aU0 por 1,000 words, or 60 cenlt per wont. Tho propojul was not no eepted by tho General, who had al ready agreed, withuut tho knowodge of tho proprietor aud editor of the North American, to furnish tho unrlei of war papers of tho Century, which have since boon published.

Nor Is any groat practical good likely to result from experiments to show whether, in any given spot, tompora turo iuoreasos with ovory hfty-threo foot or with ovory slxty-livo foot that we burrow in Imagination below tho soil. Tlioro is, howover, a certain objoct attempting to discover tlio ap- iroximato law of increase of tempera- tiro witli deptli. In 1871 a roport was presented to parliament from"the ommisionors anno. mod to inquire in- o tho several mutters rolatinc to coal in the United Kingdom." Tho com missioners took the eminently practi cal view that, "looking to possiblo ox- lodicnts which the future may elicit or roducing the temperature, thoy considered that it might bo fairly ns sumod that a deptli of at least 4,000 loot micht be reached." At this lopth the temperature probably ox oeeds 122 docrees Fahrenheit. As to ts "reduction," it is to be remember ed that the heat, whatever it be, is not that of the air alone, but that of the urtli on mid within which the minor has to stand or lie; aud that, as to "reducinc" it, it Is fed from reservoirs of tho capacity of the globe. At tho tomporaturo of tho blood, which is 98 decrees Fahrenheit, con tinuous exertion is Impossible to the huropean. 1 his temperature is reach ed apparentlv at a depth of about ,G90 feet; which is 314 foot lower than the deepest colliery in England. Hut lone before the impossible is at tained the costly and tho dilllcult com mence. A temperaturo of 80 dogroos ahreuheit is probablo at a depth of ,800 feet. Far within this limit, in the Monkwoarmouth mines, at a depth of 1,010 foot, shortor hours are requir ed tor tho miner, the cost increases in proportion. Thoso considerations re duce tho rationally probablo contents of our coal measures (those known to exist in the United Kingdom) from the IMJ.UW.UUU.UOO ot tons estimated by tlio commissioners to 39,000,000,000 of tons oxtrtiotublo with our present means; aud wo aro bringing it to tlio sftrfaoo at the annually liicreasiugrato of 1G0.000 000 of tons per year. The mpply will last our tlmo, 'no doubt, but eeuturies are but small periods in thu life of a people. And it is easy to see that, on such information U3 wo have, It is not for centuries in thu pluralcthat our coal-supply will hold out, if wo continue IU ovcr-iuoroasiug extraction.-St, Jamts't Uuxcttc. The Russian Peasantry 1 can see many sigils of chango and Francisco Chronicle. For centuries tho Russian peasant had scarcely any Idea of uorsonal liberty. He was liablo to be worked to death, to bo un lawfully and excessively taxed, to be torn from his family and sent into tho army or tobiueria, and to see his child ren similarly treated. In 17G8 a Rus sian serf-owner, a woman, was con dieted of liavinc done to death by in human torturos during a course of ton ycars.no less than one hundred of her serfs, amonc them several younc cirls of not over 12 vears of aco. Another fouialo iiond pricked a boy to death with a pen-knifo becauso ho had neglected to feed her rabbits. All this is now changed. The serfs have become independent of their lords, whoso authority Is replaced by com munal self-government, Tho rural communes havo gradually acquired tho lands formerly held by tho nobles, and havo distributed thorn among the families which compose the commune with great impartiality and duo re gard to their several claims and abili ties. Tlio nobles have not failod to accommodato themselves to tho change. Formerly thoy passed thoir lives in idleness, gambling and sen suality, despising commerce and lind ing tnoir only careor in the army. Since the emancipation many of thorn have become practical farmers and others have gone into businoss or into the legal profession and helped swell rising middlo class. The peasant lias of late years fallen heir to now privi leges and now duties. Tho adminis tration of justice has greatly improved, and trial by jury bus usurped tho place of tho nobles' liat. Tho peas ants mako very good jurymen, i'hey aro uneducated, but do not lack in shrewdness and common sonse. Sharp dealing iu trado, assaults and battery, and drunkenness they look upon us venial faults, but burglar', arson, high-way robbery, anil tho graver crimes arc dealt with sternly and, upon tuo wnoio, very lainy. Flowers Now in Fashion. For tho oveninc, jacqueminot. Marochal Nicl and other kinds of choice roses aro tho thing. Rrides woar white roses, lilies of the valloy and myrtlo now vory generally in ulaco of orango blossoms. 'Mudo bouquets" are not carried. Tho llowcrs are just carolcsslv knotted together and tied witli satin ribbon. No othor llower is so much worn ns tho rose. For tho street, ladies usually select the pink aud the cream roses. Iho correct mourniuc bouquet is strictly purple and white. A feathery fern or two or a littlo smilax may bo used, but no othor green. ltoses aro always tho most populai flower iu tlio world. Other llowers mnr bo sometimes in fashion and have n brief popularity, but tho roso is the llower of all tune. Tulips, carnations, pinks and gera nium blossoms are moro used for table and mantle decorations than nnythinc olso. Palms . aro a great foaturo for household ornamentation now. Tlio majority of persons choose bricht-colored blossoms, instead ot purple, white, and faint tints for graves. Tho most brilliant geraniums aro planted on and around the resting places of tho dead. j.ho llowers lutd by cests' plates at elogant entertainments are usually in ooso bttnehos roses or somothing of tho kind. Ferns, balloon-plants and palms are used about fountains nnd in aquaria. No funeral Is now correct without a plentiful supply of ferns. JLhoro is vory little "mado" work for fashionable funerals at present. Yardu upon yards of satin ribbon aro, now required for tying llowers at a really stylish funeral. Such "made" work as is used is ot solid white, with tho introduction of littlo or no creou. Tho "broken wheel" is a favorite om- blom for grown persons. Trying to Savo the Property.
