rito. Honored Notions of Olden Vaym IVflfcll tlon t Stand the Tes t. Vic all want to consider the days of chivalry as the golden days—never to be recalled—fcr womankind. This is by implication a rank injustice to our own timo. Wi th all its fine expressions of ardent devo lion to the fair sex and the mnlti- tudc nf its exquisite pretensions , chival - ry was the degradation cf the highest and tendcrcst boman instincts—the ver- itable curse of the course of true love. Snch a statement presents itself i c the romantic believer as a terrible counter- blast , but it is .true , nove ithelc-i. , The records of the treasury and the law courts of thos e days , in famishing tho exp erience of popular life deeply marked by tho worst sh inies of modern short- comings , provide the fullest proof. Chivalry did not make c inrri agcr\ , at least in lhe sense cf the, - * . Lorn of love ' s young dream; it en tirely ignored all sexual affections nnd sold its victims with ru thless indifference lo all mutu- ality. There were no t two parlies ta its bar- gains.

The matrimonial transac tions of chiv- alry were mercenary. Tn them th ero were no \ contracting parties \ in fho shape of whispering lovers , ardent swains ami coy maidens. On Ihe other hand , there was but s till: , * i indifference or hating compliance. Chivalry canted n l.nui its faiih in women and the purity of it si own motives , because it r. suiil not sing of love . I t. may l.e said that it so canted b. cause it knew it must cant. It knew libit its marriages had not been ma t!. *: in h eaven and of ethereal sentiment. They were coarsely bargain- ed for , ei ther in the king ' s ex chequer cr i ll th\ open murk, t p lace. Chivalry know itself as a social falsity and Ihe parent cf lust. As a con rcqncnce the \lower orders \ have had to give us tho iiotueti- cla tur.- if our love affairs. Chaucer , the very n itircr of the i ra ef chivalry, bas typified lust with bis master hand , but he l ias no picture of tho gratified tenderness of lon- . -ingyo. ilh.

A LETTER TO WOMEN David T:tlinn _ p , ot 9prlli;:« , l> In Kin Mucty-Sccoiicd Yeara East-Hampton is somewhat proud of its oldest inhabitant—a man of sterling qualities who has lived an exemp lary life , and is among us to day at the age of ninety-one to t ell of the events which transp ired in our town nearly a hundred yea rs ago. Mr. Tal inage was born at Sp rings Jan- uary 25 , ItiOO. When between ten aud eleven years of age he went to Lyme , Coun., aud remained until a young m ini of twenty, wh .n he returned to Springs and live d there fourteen years . In the spring of 1841 , he moved to Montauk , where he lived nearly nine years , moving back to Springs and re- ma ining at the old homestead until 1S5-1 , when he went to Gurdiners Island to ac t as overseer for John G. Gardiner , uncl e uf the present proprietor. In the spring of ItsG*; he moved from the Island t u the Springs again, where he has lived ev er since. Wh en cm Montuak Mr. Talmaue had frum 1 , 000 to 2 , (100 cattle and houses to look after , and was almost always to be found in his saddle. He became au ex- pert horseback rider. Mr. Talmage voted for William Hen- ry Harrison lor President , and bas voted at every Presidential election ever since , excepting when on Gardiner ' s Island. His last vote was cast for President Mc- K inley, and he expects to vote for Pres- i dent in WOO. Mr. Talmage is a direct decsendant of the f irst family of that name who settled iu Ea st-Hamptnn in 10:10. He never was ill enough to be confined to the home; is temperate in all his habits; do es not use li quo r or tobacco in any form , ami believes in regular meals and regular hab its , lie is blessed with an exc tleiit memory, and remembers well the \Vai-nf 1812 , when there was a large Eng l ish Heel in tho bay and outside of Gard i ner ' s Island. In reviewing tho se exciting days bis fac e lights up and his piercing ey es twinkle as he tells of the tin e he assisted Uncle Lewis Ed ward s tu drive cattle to Deep Hole laud ing and th ere load them on board a vessel , and lake them to Gardiner ' s Island under iovt-r of nig ht lo avoid capture by the British ves sels. Capt. Plato (colored ) nrge ii them witb then* woik, as be was anxious to land the cattle at the Island and get lo Montauk to take on some household furniture before morning. He saw Lafayette wben he visited lliis country, and heard bim converse with the old Revolutionary soldiers who serv- ed under him. The ma il ivas received but once a week in th ose [lays. The lirst news- pa per Mr. Talmag e remembers was the Lung I sland Sim* , which he recollects rea ding when about ei g h t years old. Another p aper which he recalls soon after lhat was the New London Spec- tator. Uncle David Talmage. as he is com- monly known , i s still vigorous and re- tainsall his faculties.

January ' _ ¦ _ —Captain Carman has been making somo very interesting experiments in tbe odd in- du stry nf clam culture. He found lhat. th e supp ly of na tive hard clams in p laces iu the bay, wbere they had onee grown rap idl y, had given uut. and he reasoned that as oysters ili d well , when p lanted iu the bay , clams mi ght do like- wise, lie accordingly obtained a supp l y irtj in tbe Chesapeake bay, paying abunt half ibe price that clam ' s u s uall y sell lor here , and put them on the bars in the creek. They thrived and increased in si/.e, but strange to say, their color re- mained dark , their shape was that ot Ih t; unpopular * ' blue nose \ and the color o f the Ilesh remained the objectionable blu eish white. The experiments will be continued , and in time the clamming grounds may be res tocked from yoar to y ear witb small clams from the South. There is now a scarcity of hard or round clams , notwithstanding tho law wh ich forbids the catching or market- ing of smal l uues. Fr um time to time it has l ieen rumored that hard clams from tl.e Che sapeake bay and further south w ere ruining the clam industry nn the isiaiul . but there is nu occasion for alarm . The supp l y of clams from the south side of the \ island is nut likely to evei equal the demand. J. W. Cainp- boll - Of Fulton Market. who is well posted un the subject , says: ¦•The supp ly of clams from Lung Isla nd is nut any- where equal to the demand. Southern clams, are brought into New York in l argo quantities. They sel l for about . ** > \ . * .. ' . a barrel. They open poorl y, hav- ing a suit of greenish culm* , th e shell being dark, with what is called a 'hint nosse. \ Th ey are gnod enoug h f ur chow- d er and fur similar cooking purposes , but are not of ten sold for eating on the half - -bell. The Lung Island c l am, like tho qunhan g of New England , is light blue in c ulm* when lirst taken from their bad iu tbc mud or sand , fading out lo almo st a white when exposed to tboair. They have long, sharp noses and the Ilesh is a golden yellow , shading almost to a whito. Thoy are lender and the flavor is d elicious. The smaller they are. provided they exceed the legal lim- it, the higher the price. They seldom sell for less than $3 a barrelor , double lhe price uf the Southern clam. \ The price of hard clams at the docks along the south side nf tiio island varies fron t el cents in sil. oil per bushel. It is claimed now , a s il always bas been, b y uhl bayni. 'ii. that the supp l y nf clams is being rapidly exhausted, but u sually fresh and prolific beds aro found every spr ing, au.l the professional clanitners generall y manage tn get Irum ono to two bu shels a dav witbout working very haul. I ' /, The Greenport Watchman ex- presses the positiv e opinion that there is uo exc u se for vessels being wrecked on the Long Island coast—that these disasters are the result of carelessness cm th e part uf thosj in command of the ve ssels. Tbe Watchman says: Th e Eagle makes tho Nahtun Chapin disaster the text of a lung editorial d is- quisition , iu which a labored effort seeks t u show that though thoro are no \ beetling cliffs \ or -clumps of j agg ed rooks \ tn mark the Lung Island sea c oast, yot the shore is **a very treacher- ous stretch nf sauiVete.. e lc. Much >-f thi s is mere fancy—line writing, p 'i*i,aps , but not accurate. All that can ne said tn be true about it is that in a 1 e ivy s- . -as vessel stranded on this coast may pound herself to p eces nn th e b ird sand almost as sur ety as if she was beat i ng ag a ins t rucks But the primary question i s . wh y should a ve ssel strand n: i the south shore nl Long Island' * 1 Is there anything about this coast, from Montauk Point t n Coney Island, that can j us t l y bo said to be \troti-herous. \ I* . runs in a very uniform line a few p oints north of east from end tn end; the land slopes off outward very grad- uall y all al ong the whol e length, and i s charted throughout with the greatest c are ; there are . une shore eddies and currents a t p laces , but Ihey are in- significant and nowhere amount tu a s. iii.ns. danger if due diligence be observed.

Counterfeiting is very apt to run in families. This , of course , i si natural , OS a father brings up his .con cr daughter to follow hi i profession. Women whe would otherw ise bo good nro often led into this sort of crime by marrying men who carry lt on as a business. But some - times it works tho other way—women tench their husbands bow to mako false money. This is what happened wheu Ben Boyd married Mary Aokerman of Indiana. Hcr father was ono of tbe most successful counterfeiters of his day, and his daughter had a thorough ac- qu aintance with tho art. Mrs. Boyd carefully taught hcr husband , \ .11 tho so- cre lsi cf tho trade , and ho became oneof the i_c*;fc famous forgers, cf Iho age. They carried ou tha business with such a lu- j l: degree cf skill that thoy w cr : not captured feu- years , unci when at last tho srere l service. ILv- . -k sthaws did run them down not a singlo counterfeit plate , note or coin was found iu their possession! When their houso was searched , §3 ,000 in good money was found. This small amount was all the money tiny had accumulated during all their yeara ct \ crime. Of course tho offi- cers could tint touch it.

When he came back , she asked him why he had kept hcr wai ting, and ho confessed that he had taken the bill to a bank near by to bo suro that it was good. Sho pro- tended to bo very angry aud said that sho would not buy tho shawl ou any ac- count aud walked out of the shop. A li ttle later in tl- .e day sho returned aud said H iatus she could not find any ether shawl that suited hor as well iu ti i e other shops she had decided to lako it in sp i le of tlio insult offered her. Sho gavo him tho $1, 000 bill , and , getting tho shawl and the change , left tho shop. The owner of the shop afterward discov- ered that (ho note he final ly accepted wus a counterfeit. Tl io first bill bad been good , but on her re turn she gave him tho false one, which was a won- derfully clever imitation. Tho secret service was much agitated about this and several ethers of the $1 , 000 bills which turned up, but they have since captured tho p lates. Practicall y every gang of counterfeit- ers ever arrested has had women asso- ciates. Iu tho office of the secret service in Washington there is a large frame, 4 feet square , f i l l ed wi l h tho photographs of women who have cither made or passed false money.

There is no donbt that wroug ht iron is moro nnd moro used every year in do- mestic economy and decoration. De- servedly so. There is nothing that lends itself so easily to the requirements of both utility and art. Besides , it has an ancient and respectable history. Germany in the fifteenth century pro- duced much wrought iron work of a rather special character , such as the f trave crosses and sepulchral monuments to bo seen in Ihe cemeteries of Nurem- berg. Iron was nlso emp loyed for well canop ies , such as thnt at Antwerp at- tributed to Quentin Matsys. Orig inally a blacksmith from Lonvain , he came to Antwerp to seek his fortune. There , as the story gees, ho fcjl in love *wilh the daug hter cf npainf __ ¦ , and , ( o prop itiate the daughter as well as her father , cx- . hanged the anvil fcr the painter ' s pa- l ette , aud beforo his death , in 1 ( 531 , he wns successful in helpiug lo raise tho cheel cf Antwerp to a celebrity equal * . o that of the schools - of Bruges and Ghent. Ironwcrk was extensively produced at Augsburg under the fostering care of the Pugger family, taking tho shape of brackets projecting from the walls and grills over iauli g hts or in a balcony. Grotesque knockers ure also common in Nuremberg. Keys were sometimes elab- oratel y decorated , and the part which i.s new a common ring wns once occupied b y little figures iu lull relief , with coats of a ims attl the like. The French revo- lution was the cause of much splendid ironwork being destroyed , when , iu 171 1 3 , certain provinces had to gather together every available piece of iron to transform iuto pikes and other weap- ons. —New York Herald.

Pore la Chaise , s t. called after Louis XIV ' s confessor , who had his residence on the hill long ago , covers 100 1-2 acres and is laid out , like a miniature ci ly, iu nearly 150 street s or avenues and lit- tle paths . Bordering theso are 90 , 000 mausoleums and monuments of every descri ptiou , from tho most magnificent tombs to the most unpretending urns. Each little house has its famil y name abovo the door , and few are ever with- out somo fresh tokens of loving remem- brance. Tho French may not bo a deeply re- li g ious nntio D , but they certainl y do not lack personal affection and respect , aud this is strikingly shown iu their devo- tion to the memory of their dead. Orna- mental wreaths mndo of beads or tin , black , white and colored , many of them with appropriate mottoes , were piled or hung upon tbc monuments. Entering one of the main streets and walking up tho hill , wo were soon in a labyrinth of tombs. Inside of one littlo house , which had a glass door , there was a shelf built of marble , upon which stood a framed p hotograph of a man. On each sido wero _ vases filled with white lilacs , and underneath was stretch- ed n white ribbon , and letters in gold npon it told that thin was an offering from l iis sorrowful schoolmates. Threo columns rising from one pede Etnl and resembling some fragment of a Roman ruin stood to commemorate threo broth- ers who had wished to be laid together. Many monuments wero like obelisks or in other Egyptian forms , showing the influence upon the fashion of tho timo of Napoleon ' s eastern campai gn. One largo column with a broken shaft stood alone in an open space upon a raised p latform and attracted our attention be- cause of tho great number of wreaths and flowers p iled hi gh upon it This was a monument to those whose burial p laces wero unknown , whoso deaths were shrouded in mystery, and whoso mourners como here to pray and weep. Aa wo looked a poor woman with a child b y ono hand added her little spray of chrysanthemums to the gay bnt pa- thetio heap. Soon familiar and world famous names began to cl ilim our inter- est.

Then tho bravo men who fought for France—Marshal Ney, Napoleon ' s right hand man , who lies in a little inclosed lot filled with shrubs and flowers , but with no monument , for when he died his enemies were in power and would allow noue to be erected , and now its absence and the simp le grave speak moro eloquently than could the finest tomb. Near by lies poor Villoncnve , who lost at Trafalgar and in consequence of Napoleou ' s displeasure received such a harsh repulse wheu ho returned to Paris that ho ran a needlo through his broken heart. Just across the way from him is Parmeutier , the agriculturist. He was the man who with tl io utmost difficulty convinced the dainty French that the potnto wns worth cultivating and eat- ing. They say that Mario Antoinette helped him to attain this end by wear- ing potato blossoms with her beautiful ball gowns. However true tbis may be , certain it is that tl io vegetable is planted every year around the good man ' s tomb. There is ouo tomb which every one is euro to visi t at Pore la Chaise , and this is the grave of Abelard nnd Hcloise , tho grave that has been the subject of so many songs and verses , and where lov- ers come to plight (heir vows and pledge their faithfulness. Very romantio it must be , too , on a moonlight evening, with tho pale rays falling on the stone figures l y ing peacefull y side b y side , with folded handa , under tho canopy of early Gothic sty le , with queer gargoy les at each corner. The story of the lovers is well known. They had many trials and tribulations , but at last they rest together , accord ing to Heloise ' s last wish that sho mi g ht bo reunited to her idol. Through tho tombs and (recs we wen t hi gher and hi gher , until we came out upon a wide terrace and Paris burst upon our view. Paris , sparkling in tho sunlight , spread beforo ns in a glittering panorama , an immense expanse of white buildings with domes , towers , sp ires and brid ges , and tho Eiffel tower rising like a gaunt skeleton amid the feast of beautiful architecture. No wonder that the mutineers of the commune appreci- ated tho fino advantages of position af- forded by Pere la Chaise. Here they in- trenched themselves and transformed tho quiet cemetery into a noisy camp. Here they met the fire from the govern- ment positions , until finally they were overpowered by troops which scaled tho hei g hts , aud the terrible slaughter took place when thousands of the communists fell among the sepulchers. Some poor wretches tried to hide in the tombs , and the merciless soldiers closed them np fast , so that to this day skeletons of their victims are found in their g hastly pris- ons. —Paris Cor.

Queer Experience of a Traveler on a Lake Steamer. \S peaking of misjud ging people , \ remarked the young man who has money aud enn take pleasure tri ps whenever he feels liko it , \I bad a pe- culiar experience when I took the steam- er trip up tho lakes. I was littlo late in applying for a berth , aud tho clerk in- formed me that every stateroom was oc- cupied , and ho would havo to g ive mo a berth in the same sta ' croom with an- other person. I didn 't particularl y like tho idea , but it was the best I could do, and , being very tired , I turned in. I saw nothing of my roommate , and , he having first choico of berths , and pre- suming that ho would choose the lower one , I climbed up above. \I wondered what sort of a man ho would prove to be, and to be on the safo sido I took my gol d watch and pocket- book and p laced them carefull y under my pillow. I tried lo stay awak e until he came in , but the motion of the boat lulled me to sleep iu sp i te of myself , and I didn 't wake up until n icmiug. Tho other person had ' .urncd in without disturbing mo . I heard him stirring around iu tho lower berth. Cautiously I sli pped my hand under the pillow. Beth my pocketbook and watch were gone. Thero was no dcuy ing it. I searched tho berth carefully and quietly. There could be no mistake. M y handsome timepiece and several hundred dollars in bills were goue. I lay still for a long time , wondering what I would do. Per- haps he had hurled the plunder into the hands of a confederate. I felt pretty blue. Anyway, I would report Ihe mat- ter to the captaiu. I sat up iu my berth with sudden resolve. A pleasant faced young man was sitting, full y dressed , on tbe lower berth. \ 'I' ve becu waiting for you to wake up, ' he sai tl. 'Do these things belong tc you?' He was holding np my purse aud watch. \ 'Y CB , sir , tbey do , ' I answered se- verely. \'Well , ihe , blame th ings p inn i ped down on mo this morning about an hour before I wanted lo wake up. The wallet struck mc blim on the end of the nose aud the watch uearly knocked mv front teeth out. I was never so startled in my life. ' \I looked sheep ish , I Euppo.se; I cer- tainly felt so , for , turning the p illow down , I found that tbc springs were of woven wiro and lacked several inches of filling in the space at the head of the berth. My property had simp ly slid throngh and dropped upon tbe face of my startled stateroom companion. He took mattera very good naturedly, and we got to bo good friends before we got to Duluth.

MISJUDGED HIS COMPANION. Only about eight or nine of the life insurance companies of the country in- sure women at the samo rates as men. A considerably larger number insure women , but chargo them an additional §5 per (1 , 000 , and still more even do not insuro women at all. It is tho op in- ion of those qualified to speak that the companies charg ing the excess rate are not justified in doing so nnd that the practice ' t^ill not long bo continued. The mortality rate experienced among ita women insurers by one well known company has been about 80 per cent of what was expected , and it has insured several women for the fnll amount it will issue on any ono life—that is , $50 , - 000. The heretofore unfavorabl e atti- tude of insurance companies toward women has been due undoubtedl y to tho fact that few if any women had an in- surable interest , but that day has passed. As the avenues of occupations have widened thousands of women today are the sole support of children or par- ents , and thoso thus dependent on them need the protection of insurance as much as if the family breadwinner were a man.

Davis tells in Gamcland how two bock Indians of tho northwest- ern coast tribes went into a bear ' s dcu and , b y tho li ght of a tcrch , killed a bi g grizzly bear. A young law student got sight cf tho bear oue day while ho was still hunt- ing. While try ing to approach it the hunter alarmed the bear , m id it ran to a 1 , 000 foot cliff and look refuge iu a hole there. The student climbed -o p 100 yards on the face of the cliff and started rocks down about the hole , thinking to drive the bear rut , but the bear would not start. Then h o went to a nearby In- dian camp nnd get Trinity Dick and a Pitt river Indi an , who said they would go wilh tho man after the bear if he wonld let them take the rifle. The stu- dent let Trinity Dick lake the rifle and borrowed another for the Pitt river In- dian. \I waited outside , \ tho student told Davis , \ while the Indians went into the cave with a torch. * 1 listened for a lone limo , then I heard the dull boom of two guns away back in the cave somewhere. Then all w. is still again for some time. .After a bit Trinity Dick came out and waved his hand to me , then went back in. I followed and quickly camo to the bear , which was already loosing its hide at tho knife point of tho Pitt river In- dian. ' 'Tho cave was deep, with many arms. The Indians had followed tho main cave , disputing with each other ns to who should go first. Trinity Dick , being the eldest , got the p lace of honor , while tho other followed , holdiug the torch hi gh aloft. Tho bear was uot in the main cave , and they went to tho end witbout coming upon it. On their way out , however , tho men were confronted by (he bear at a dis(ancc of 20 feet. Trinity Dick told his compauiou to hold tho torch steady so that the sighl B could be seen plainly. When tho shot was fired , (he bear pitched forward , nnd then a second bnllct was fired into it. Tho Indians then turned and ran , load- ing their gnus as (hey did so. But (he bear never moved a gain. '' A BEAR IN A CAVE. Tho editor of the New York Chris- tian Advocato learned not long since from a coachman that horses aro not unlike human beings. He writes: Riding in a friend' s carriage ono day, wc noticed lhat tho coachman mado con- stant efforts to restrain one of the horses and (o hasten the other. As the pair were lumdsome and perfectl y mated , wc said , '' What is the difference between ths-so horses , lhat yon are con- stantly touching up one and holding in the other?\ Said he: \Tho one that I whip can- not possibl y overwork himself. I will not say that he is lazy, but he is so made that he never can an il never will do himself any damage. It would bo impossiblo to whip him so hard that he would hurt himself.

He bas made it a rule that for all ab- sences from recitations his students shall write out reasons in full why they were away anel what recitations were missed.
