The New York Times has learned from "exclusive sources" all about the recep tion of Gov. Hartranf t's dispatch to Gen. Grant, "Care of Her Majesty, Bucking ham Plaace . " It says : At two o'clock on "Wednesday morning the Prime Minister, -who during his term of office always occupies the second story front bedroom in Buckingham Palace in order to be handy if the queen wakes up in the night and thinks she will have a new title, was aroused by a tremendous knocking at the front door. Hastily springing out of bed and opening the window he saw a boy in the uniform of the Atlantic Cable Company standing on the steps and wistlinsr " Rule Britan nia." To the premier's excited demand to know where the fire was, the boy coolly replied, "telesrram for jour missis, whereupon Lord Beaconsfield, angrily exclaiming. "Holy Moses!" closed the window, put on his trousers, and, de RfeTnlinD' to the tloor. told the boy to "hand it over!" Now. a cable telegram costs a good deal. There was eight pounds, four shillings and three pence due on the telegram, and the boy refus ed to deliver it without the money. Hence it became necessary to awake the nueen. The noble earl had to take this delicate dntv upon himself, since the servants remained invisible, and with many misftivinjrs he knocked at Her Ma jesty's door, and after informing her that a boy was waiting with a telegram for General Grant, and that he wanted 8 pounds, 1 shillings and 3 pence, meekly suggested that she should hand him the money through the crack of the door. The queen may not be a particularly irritable woman, but it was hardly to be expected that she would get out of bed, strike a light, and hunt up her purse without betraying some little annoyance, In fact, she was extremely angry, and not only sharply refused to receive Gen Grant's teleirraui, but informed Lord Beaconsfield that if he ever woke her up in the night again to pay nine pounds for any one else's telegram, she would dismiss him without a character. After this there was nothing left for the pre mier to uo but to tell the boy that no person by the name of Grant lived in that house, and to shut the door in his face. At that moment the fate of the telegram seemed sealed. The boy start ed to return it to the office, where it would have been endorsed "not found," and Gov. Hartranft would have been charged with its cost. It so happened, however that Gen. Grant and the Prince of Wales, who had been attending the Society for Propagating the Gospel, were on their way to the General s Iodg ings, and passing Buckingham Falace, met the boy descending the front steps. The Prince stopped and questioned him, and on leaning that the queen had re fused to pay for the telegram, remarked that "some day mother would get into difficulties by refusing to pay for tele grams, ' and generously told the boy to give him the telegram and he would call and pay for it next day. Meanwhile Gen Grant had caught sight of the address, and thereupon paid the boy on the spot, opened the telegram and read it. Thus Governor Hartranffc's telegram reached its destination. Penalty of Mob Law. The people of Pittsburg, who stood by and allowed whole trains of freight cars to be broken open and plundered of property belong ing to their iellow-countrymen all over the country, may exjiect to be compelled to make good those losses of private citizens as well as those of the railway corporation whose buildings and whose stock they suffered to bo destroyed. It is probably a moderate estimate to put the total of all these losses at $4,000,000. The assessed valuation of Pittsburg is $172,000,000, and it contains a popula tion of 140,000 persons, many of whom, of course, have been thrown out of em ployment, or subjected to losses and in conveniences by these scandalous events. The city, therefore, will have to submit to a levy on its valuation roll of $2.61 in $100 of taxable property or rather more than one-fortieth of the total amount. This is equivalent to a fine of $32.15 laid upon every man, woman and child in the city to compensate tho in jured parties or to an annual impost of 2.2o per capita to meet the interest at at 7 per cent, of bonds issued to clear the indebtedness. It must be obvious to the meanest capacity that it would have been much cheaper, even as a sim ple question oi immediate outlay, to preserve order and eniorce the laws. Now that the mischief has been done, however, it would be cheaper for Pitts burg to "execute herself" at once, raise the money and do justice without a law suit than to incur the suspicion or being unwilling to mako it safe for American citizens to expose their property within her limits. And it will be well lor the tax-payers of other States to take warn ing in time and save themselves thereby both expense and shame. JY. Y. World. Scenes in Erzerouii. The streets of Erzeroum are compared by a correspond ent of the London Standard to a nest of wriggling eels. No squares, no good lookng houses, offer any where a means of setting cue's self right; anywhere noth ing but houses, raised slightly from the ground, with grass roofs, on which may irequently be seen mumed-women, chil dren at play, and lambs sometimes fall through the chimney into the house, in which men, horses, oxen, cows and sheep live together. In bad weather the chimneys are covered with fiat stones, and then the smoke fills the room or staoie, w mcnever one chooses to call it. i a small part of ibis room, devoid of light or air, in which a fire mtde of dung aud finely-cut straw burns, is separated by a railing. Hero paterfamilias sits on a rug, smoking his chibouque or nargi leh, and receives guests. The prepara tion of food gives little trouble ; a pennv a day suffices to satisfy the palate and stomach, even in wealthy families. A little bread and cheese, perhaps a' cu cumber, under favorable circumstances a pilaff, on feast days a piece of mutton, which the Armenian women roast par ticulary well that is the whole bill of fare. Cowakdice. Yon are a coward, if afraid to tell the truth -when you should do so. You area coward." when you insult the weak. Yeu are a coward, if afraid to do right, if yeu shrink from defending yonr opinion, from maintain ing that which you know to be just and good; and you are especially a coward, if you know certain things of yourself' and care not to own them to yourself. ' Ax old-style farmer had his eyes opened to the utility of "book farm ing" lately, by a suggestion that even sand and swamp muck, properly ap plied, would increase the production of his stiff clay land from 50 to 75 per ct. He was tempted to try the experiment and found it resulted even so. ' Wrecked in Port. A TALE OF HYPERBOREAN VANILLA. It was the wild midnight. The tame midnight was off watch and had gone to bed three hours before. A storm brooded over the eastern heav ens. It was a thoroughbred brood stortn. Hop brewed for it was coming from the yeast. Hawkeye creek was rolling tumultu- ously in its bed. Bugs, probably. Or it might have beenn ervousness. A little form cowered at the garden gate. Manv a manly form has been coward at just such gates, every since Summer nights and gnats and beauty and love and June bugs were in vented. "He does not come," she murmured softly, as she peered into the darkness. I cannot see him, I urill call him. She was wrong. If she couldn't see him she certainly couldn't call him with the same hand. A manly step came scraping down the sidewalk. It was Desmond. She threw open the gate, and the next instant he clasped in his great, strong arms twenty-seven yards of foulard, three yards of niching, seven dozen Breton buttons and a pompadour panier as big as a dog house. It was all his own. "All is lost," he exclaimed. "Con stance de Belvidere, the Russians have crossed the Balkans. AVe must fly." Constance was a noble girl. She on ly said, "Whither shall we fly?" He wanteil to fly to some lone desert isle, but she submitted an amendment providing that they should fly to the ice cream saloon. The v Hew. In the crowded saloon, where the soft light fell upon the fair woman and brave man, and the insects of a summer night fell in the ice-croam frrzer. Thev spoke no word. When two sentient human beincs are engupbing spoof nils of corn starch and eggs and skim-milk, language is a mock erv. At length Desmond broke the tender silence. He said: "More, dearest?"' She smiled and bowed her lovely head, but did not speak. She was too full for utterence. 1 A T 1 -1 . . lusuioiiu gioomuv ordered more. And more when that was gone. And supplement to.that. And an aJdenda to that. And an exhibit to that. Gloom sat enthroned upon his brow. Constance saw it. She said: "What is it, dearest?" He spoke not, but sighed. A dreadful suspicion stabbed her heart like a knife. "Desmond," she said, "you are no tired of me, darling?" "By heaven, no," he said, and then ho looked (and thought) unutterable things. Her brow lightened up with a ray celestial intelligence. "I see," she said, tapping tho empty piate witu ner spoon, "loo cold. Sign ed, U. Morbus. He denied it bitterly, and bade her remain where she was while he settlei with the man. She, guided by the unerring instinct of her sex, peeped through tho curtains of the saloon, bhe saw her Desmond holding earnest discussion with the man. She saw the man shake his head resolutely in answer to Desmon3 plead mg look and appealing gestures. She saw him lock the door, take ont the key, put it in his pocket, and lean up against the door. She saw her own Desmond take from his own pockets and pile upon the counter a pearl handl ed pocket knife, six nickles, four green postage stamps, a watch key, two lead pencils, a memorandum book, a theater ticket (of the variety denomination). pocket comb, an ivory toothpick, a shirt stud, one sleeve button, a photograph of herself, a package of trix, two street car checks, a card with a funny (wick ed) story on it, a silk handkerchief and a pair of gloves. And then she knew that Desmond was a bankrupt, ami when the man swept the assets of the concern into a drawer and opened the door she sobbed convulsively, "And it wast mine extravagance which has die this thing." They did not talk much on their way nome. uace sue asked mm it he was rich, and he only said, "Enormously Such is life. Burlington Hawkeye. Pinned Right Down. A groc. r do ing business on Michigan Grand avenue was yesterday asked to trust a colored man one day for a quart of strawberries "Can't do it you'd never pay." he replied. "I'll pay de monev afore 8 o'clock in de mawnin," earnestly continued the colored man. "Perhaps you might, but I don't be neve it. xi vou nave no money now how will you have any then?" "Don't ask mo boss I'll have de cash suah. Ize-just prespiring to death for do want of strawberries." "Does any one owe von?" asked the grocer. "No, sah." "lhen how do you expect to get any monev ? "Oh. de pay will be all right." "I guess not, You'll have to try some one else. "Boss, you hez pinned me right down to the cold facts," said the customer. "I want strawberries, an dey hez got to come, an', de re fore, let me say dat I wasn't going out to-night to steal chick ens an sell 'em to get money," "Ah, you wasn't?" "No, sah, 'cause I dun pulled 'em in last night, an' dey'll be sold to a butch er dis evening. Dat's de cold fact, mis ter, an' now wrap up dem strawberries an' don't abuse my confidence." One oy Lincoln's. The late Peter Harvey onco called upon" President Lincoln and immediately began his fa vorite topic Mr. Webster and the great and glorious past the statesman who died and left no successor; the glorious past and the degenerate present. He lamented with great fullness and feel ing the lack of statesmanship now; as compared with the generation of giants the men of this generation were pig mies, and so on at great length. The imperturbable Lincoln listened with downcast eyes and solemn face till Mr. Harvey had finished and paused for a reply. "Mr. Harvey," said the Presi dent, drawing a loag breath and look ing at Mr. Harvey's short legs and strok ing down his own, "lam thinking how much longer my leg is than yours." It is needless to say that the great soul of -Harvey was shocked, not to say stunned, by this remark. He arose and went his way, and in the evening that he arrvied in Boston, he was heard giv ing his account of an interview with the "boorish President." There must be law'n order said the judge, as he pushed his little mower. COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, To Bender tbe Liver Active When that important secretive gland re quires arousing, it is only requisite to resort to Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters, the national rem edy for inactivity of the biliou3 organ, for con stipation, and for dyspepsia, besides those mal arious disorders to which torpidity of the liver predisposes a person. .Far more surely does this celebrated anti-bilious cordial tccomplish a curative result than mercurv or any other min eral drug used to cure liver disorders. In fact, such medicaments cannot fairly be called reme dies, since, although they may have a temporary effect, thev eventually fail to influence the sys tem remediallr, but instead oiten uo it serious injury. The Bitters, on the contrary, are a spe cific of the most salutary nature, and are like wise a reliable and agreeable tonic, appetizer and nervine. OPENING OF THE PAVILION.

Dear Sir From early youth I was ia feeble health, troubled with humor in mv blood, weak ness and debility of the svstem generally ; was unable to labor much, and only at some light business, aud then only with great caution. Seven years ago, the past Spring, I had a se vere attack of Diphtheria which left my limbs paralyzed and useless, so I was unable to walk or even sit up. Noticing the advertisement of Teiiuvian Sybcp, I concluded to give it a trial, and to my great joy soon found my health im proving. I continued the use of the Syrup un til t..rte bottles had been used, and was restored to e .mplete health, and have remained so to this day. I attribute my present health en tirely to the use of Peruvian Syrup, and hold it in high estimation. I cannot speak too highly in its praise. I have in several eases recom mended it in cases very similar to my own with the same good results. Yours truly, Ch.vki.es E. Pearcy. From S. Tlialriirr, M. IK, of Ilermoii. Sfw York.

FRANCISCO, Twentv-six teabs ago a native of BrooL'yn, New York, inaugurate d a lmtcl in tlii- city. It was opened in June, 1851, and, with filial devotion to the city of his nativity, 3fr. John KtlJy, Jr.. tlie gentleman in question, christened it tho "Drooklyn." Time brings changts and wnittinio pleasant ones. It is therefore a matter of congratulation to le able ti aanotmce that ilr. l,k. Kelly has advanced with the times, and uovid from the scene of his farrmr labors into that para gon of modern hostcliies, "The Commercial Hotel." This new building, which has come ims existence simultantonsly with the birth of Montgomery Avenue, is the most perfectly smigri hotel in the city. Everything which the American mind connects with the idea of "comfort is there. The silent elevator, the softly carpeted halls, the fountain in one of the rotundas, the pri vate laundry, barber's shop, billiard rooms, and perfectly ventilated parlois are all there. Iht electric bell is to be found throughout the house, and there is not a dark room hi the whole estub lishment. An irregular space, almost a pentagon in form, has been left vacant in the center o! the building, so that the most modest visitor and the wealthiest tenant have their qual share o! God's free light and air. The cost of living at the Commercial is a new era in California hold life. For two dollars a day the guest is as well accommodated as he could be at any firt-cliM house for double the money, and the richness of the furniture challenges competition with &u caravansary between New York and San Francisco. It is not necessary to describe the tudk variety of reps and silks with which the hotel is upholstered, or to dilate on the richness of u highly carved black walnut bureaus, bedsteads, mirrors and buffets. The building aud furni ture cost over ?3(X),003. and the utmost good taste is united to this lavish expenditure. TLt dining room is about 90x40 feet, and is lit by nine chandeliers and numerous side lights. TL parlor is magnificently carpeted and ablaze with cut-glass chandeliers, trembling with legions ot diamond-hued pendants. There are 175 rooms in the house, any one of which is fit for the gentleman in the land. Circular rotundas, surrounded by a carved balustrade, keep the vena tion of the lofty halls perfect, whilst they add to tho light and cheerfulness of the various etao. The range in the Kitchen cost $2,700, and is capable of ro iding a banquet for 500 persrns. ll gant statues occupy the niches in the main stair-case, and gas pedestals are plactd in the ceMrt of the lower floor directly tinder the rotunda. The carpeting rf the hotel is the richest probaUj in the city, and there is an air of comfort about the Commercial Hotel which can be better iJi than defined. It only needed to be known that " Kelly of the Brooklyn " was running the net hotel to insure its immediate prosperity. It fills a bill in this city long desired, but as yet neve accomplished. Under the management of Mr. John Kelly, Jr., the Commercial affords a palatt home lor men of moderate means who seek the comforts of a first-class establishment unaih.a with the mammoth charges of first-class houses.
