12 THE - PITTSBURG? v- . SUNDAY. Fashionable syndicate writers tell us that "society is forever in pursuit of novelty." The remark must be true, as these ingenious inter preters of the cy world and its mysteries have made it so often. It would appear indeed that the grande dame is as much delighted with a freshly imported dance, or an original mode of table decoration, as her children arc with fresh toys or boxes of bon bona. Every moon brings with it new shapes in headgear, new styles of pet doss, and new crazes of every kind. And then the dainty Angers, which are so ready to snatch the plaything, are equally quick in casting itawsyl The craze is but shortlived. Private theatricals and tableaux vivants; croquet, lan tennis, bedmmton. claret and champagne cups; all have had their day. Other forms of "siaginesV other games, and other iced dnnks have taken the places of these for mer favorites. For some time past society wits have been bnsy inventing novel variations on the old time "party." Yachting parties, driving, riding, shooting, and even theater parties have been given to the world. They hao come crowding upon one another's heels, season after season, the demand being quite as great as the snpply; and one alter another they have gone the" way of all such evanescent delights. Hut the society inill-wbeel goes merrily round, and there will soon be a demand for bonie novel kind of party. What will be the licit creation of the caterers bo turn out thee charming confections? What new "fad" will tbc fashionable syndicate contributors be pnvuegea to aescriDer A well-known Pittsburg grande dame has suggested a probable ansu er to the question. "The season is propitious," remarks this high pries tes of the drawing room, "and j as t now the camera rage is at its height. Why not get up photograph parties?" .. Why not, indeed? The idea seems to be an excellent one. Besides, it is quite original; and would supply the necessary excuse for get ting young people together, which after all is the great aim of party-givers. Then there is none of the fatigue of tennis about the enter tainment. Gettimr one's nhotorranh taken i is an amusement of the laziest type. And so we need not feel surprised if we receive v.. from Mrs. T. Van Jones Browne, or Majolica avenue, a card announcing that she will be "at home" on a given date, and bearing in the ex- . treme corner the suggestive word, "Photo- F' graphs." In like manner the very dear friends J of Mrs. De Montmorcncv Robinson may ex- pect honeyed notes, detailing the fun of her S forthcoming "tin-type lunch," and begging ? them to bring their cameras. f Success attend the "photograph party" idea. u May it soon attain to the ainittvof a. "fart " and enjoy a. life, which, if short, will be at least a merry one. Who among us does not know the slow man? The only thing in which he is not slow, is that he never misses an opportunity of making him stlf heard, or of fastening himself upon any un fortunate creatnre who happens to be his neighbor for the time being. It matters not what time of the day or night be meets you, he Is never too busy to discuss the affairs of the nation, the last new thing concerning baseball, the weather, or anything else that happens to crawl into his brain. He is possessed of one redeeming quality, this slow man, and that is he is generally good-natured. He is seldom or never seen to become angry or lose his temper. But this, I am at mid, is the outcome of his fsiunuebs. There are a great many of jtbese slow men at large just now it would seem. I met one at a reception in the East End. He belonged to the one eyeglass f raternltv. and wore the loveliest glossy flaxen bangs, cut in Spanish style. He was altogether too lovely for anything but slow and awkward, oh, dearl .Notwithstanding t I had told bim several times that I was engaged for every dance, be insisted on taking my tab let out of my hand and examining it closelv, bringing the monocle bear upon the harmless little book as intently as if It had been Sanscrit and it was his duty to translate it offhand. ; "What about this waltz No. 47" he stam- ," mcred. - "Don't you see the F. G. opposite it?" I asked. "Ob, yes ye-s. I didn't notice." Tben he made a discovery. "Here's a galop that you have not given it awav. Can't I have that?" Do you know it took ma thn whnlm v-Anfn J to make that boobv understand that I never danced galops, and that particularly X did not want to dance one that night. When I left the house at Iat with my slow man leading me to the carriage, and shutting out others who p wanted to fcay a word or two to me before I left. I actually cried with vexation and annoyance, andaskedniself again and again: "What are slow men made for?" SAXS Epes-ks.

Kat, of the Eighteenth, has been on the sick list for some time. Major G bah am, of the Fourteenth Regi ment, is still in a pretty serious condition, al though bis physicians have strong hopes for bis ultimate recovery. Major Wiixiak Struthbbs, Ordnance Officer of the First Brigade, has tendered his resignation. Major Btruthers has been con nected with the guard since 1867. Major Joe T. Speer, formerly of the Eighteenth Reglntent, sailed for Europe last Wednesday. Major Speer has been traveling on tbe continent for the past year. Ensign Bbainerd, of the United States navy, wbo has been stationed in this city on Government business for some time past, was ordered to Bethlehem, Pa., last week. The total result of tbe inspection iu the Eighteenth Regiment was 478 men. This is a larger showing than was made last year. Com pany H closed the work in this regiment last Monday night with 69 men and three officers in line. General George R. Snowdex has issued his first order assuming command of the Division of the National Guard of Pennsyl vania, nnder assignment from the Governor. Colonel Ueckert took formal command of the First Brigade last week. Compant G, of the Eighteenth Regiment, nd Company A, of the Fourteenth, turned out as an escort to President Harrison yesterday morning. Owing to the early hour of the order umy auout zo members or each company were present, but tbe men made a neat appearance uu wero uanaiea wen oy vaptain jrenny. The following officers have been honorably discharged in orders: Quartermaster Leslie Belleville, of the State Fenclbles; Lieutenant Richard Davis and Alexander DefiDaugb.ef the Fifth Regiment; Lieutenant George Coop, of tbe Eighth Regiment, and Lieutenant Henry Magee, of the State Fencibles. Leave of ab sence, with permission to go beyond seas, is granted to Major J. B. Porter, of the Second Regiment. The Verona squad of Company H of the Eighteen thRegiment turned out with the Grand Army Post in that town on Memorial Day. After tbe ceremonies in the morning the boys Indulged in tareet practice tbe rest of tbe day. Tbe held day of this company will be held on June 21. The members expect to, make tbe occasion a notable one. Tbe programme con sists of a skirmish drill, sham battle and other means of entertaining the visitors. The appearance of the Washington Infantry, last Thursday afternoon, as the organization left for Cleveland, excited most favorable comment. About 60 men were In line, and tbe carriage and marching of the men were of the finest order. During the parade in Cleveland last Friday, tbe boys received applause all along the line. Captain Shannon feels proud of tbe showing be made and doesn't think it conld have been beaten by any of the regular companies of the National Guard. Neither of tbe local organizations has as yet taken any steps toward arranging a pro gramme for tbe West Penn Hospital day at the Exposition grounds on June 14. During the past year the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Regi ments have not hid a battalion drill in either organization and consequently the movements might be just a little awkward if no prelimi nary steps are taken to at least discuss the matter. General Jobn A. Wiley, the brigade commander, will probably be on band to ma neuver the two regiments, and it is expected many thousands of spectators will be present. The election for captain of Company G, Fourteenth Regiment, takes place next Tues day evening, the same evening as tbe inspec tion. There are three candidates in the field. First Lieutenant McLaln, ot Company E. ex Captain Emory Thompson and ex-Quartermaster Robert Patterson. At a meeting of some of the members last week Lieutenant Mc Laln seemed to be the favorite, and his chances for success are good. Lieutenant Jackson, wbo Is at present in command of the company, bas refused to again be a candidate for tbe cap taincy, having decided to accept the finding of the Brigade Board refusing him tbe commis sion on tbe grounds of an illegal election. The war over tbe election of Colonel in the Third Regiment is ended at last, and Colonel Bonaffon was defeated. The elec tion was held last week, and ex-Mavor Smith, of Philadelphia, was the successful candidate, defeating Bonaffon by a vote of 11 to 10. The result was a great surprise, as enongh men had promised to support their former Colonel, to carry him through successfully.ibut at the last minute one of their number went over to the other side and the Third has now a new commander. Tbe feeling is so bitter be tween the two factions that it is believed Colonel Smith will have a great deal ot diffi culty in getting tbo regiment in working order, although his record as a hustler is good. The other members of tbe field elected on the Smith ticket are: Lieutenant Colonel, S. Thomas McGinnis, and Major, L. C. Hall. Companies F, A, B, K and C, of the Four teenth Regimen were Inspected by Major Patterson last week. Company A made the best showing, with 60 men In line, and Company B the poorest, with So men. The exercises and tactical movements In the different companies were up to the standard of tbe regiment on former inspections. Tbe result of the inspec tions this year indicates that both tbe local regiments, as a rule, place too little importance on tbe position of a non-commissioned officer. Tbe State of Pennsylvania is beginning to de mand that a cornoral or sergeant's stripes mean something more than an ornament on tbe uni form, and that tbe wearer have some idea of the importance and duties df his position. Tbe effect of non-commissioned officers' schools in several of tbe companies was most clearly demonstrated daring the past two weeks. TUTED FOE BTTKDAY SFXIDTa. DIcfLecsport Merchants BInde to Wback Up Through Cnptnln Wlsbart. Yesterday afternoon the little office of Alderman Bell, on 'Wylie avenue, was crowded with McKeesport people, who were interested in the suits brought against some of their townsmen for engaging in worldly employment on the Sabbath day.

WfiU Much might be said of the observance of Memorial Day here and elsewhere, but the de tails have been given qnlte fully by the dally press. The day was beautiful throughout, no rain falling to interfere with the services. The revivifying rain was held until evening when it poured down and the newly strewn and planted "stars of earth" gained new life and beauty. A Memorial Day in this vicinity was probably never more quietly or successfully observed. The absence of tbe general parade gave tbo day in tbe old city an air of quietness. In all the cemeteries tbe solemn rltesof the day were celebrated In a finished manner wbiQh showed careful and conscientious preparation. Tbe work was well distributed and no grave suffered from lack of attention. Cemeteries which had heretofore have had only details sent to them were attende'd to by full posts and the work consequently better done. Though the thoughtless made a gala day of the solemn holiday the soldiers and hundreds of thousands or others, to whom "patriotism" is not a mere term, reverently paid tribute to tbe honored soldier dead, and will continue to do so as long as the heroic deeds and sacrifices of tbe boys of '61 are remembered, which will be forever. Politics Rlsldlv Excluded. Concerning the violation of an article of the rules and regulations by two of the Pennsylva nia posts. Department Commander Denniston has Issued tbe following order: "Tbe attention of tbe Department Command er has been called to action taken by two posts of this department, one located In Lancaster countv and another located In Crawford count ty, which is In flagrant and Inexcusable viola tion of article XI. chapter 6, rules and regula- hiuus, wmcu reausas luuuvrs; N o officer or comrade of tbeGrand Annr of the Republic shall in any manner use this. organiza tion for partisan purposes, and no discussion of partisan questions shall be nermltted at any of its meetings, nor shall any nomination for political office be made. "Tbe Grand Army of the Republic Is not a political organization in any sense of tbe word, and one of its proudest boasts is that partisan politics are entirely eliminated by the funda mental law of Its existence. It most not be used to defend from accusatlon.or to extol tbe virtues and qualifications of any candidate or any political party. Its members are citizens, main taining a citizenship intensified and made more than ordinarily earnest by tbe sacrifices they have made for the good of our common dountry. If any of them desire to assist an ex-soldier in the way ot political preferment, it can be done as an ex-soldier citizen, bnt not as a member of the Grand Army of the Republic Posts must not indulge in resolutions of indorsement of candidates, whether such candidate be a comrade or not. The posts referred to which have recently transgressed the rules and regu lations, have been instructed from these head quarters that their action must be rescinded, so far as it is possible to do so. and all other posts are again warned against such transgression in the future. Any further violation of the rules and regulations in this respect will imperil the charter of the post or posts so offending. Partisan politics must be kept out of tbe Grand Army of the Republic." Tbe Rebel Fins nt Richmond. The rebel battle flairs, which were carried by the enemies of the Union in tbelr fight against those who now form the Grand Army of tbe Republic, were brought out and defiantly un furled at Richmond at the unveiling of the Lee monument on Tbnrsday. Tbe spirit of '61 which restlessly smolders In the breasts of those who were "subdued," broke out atresb when the incendiary banners of tbe lost cause were flaunted, amid loud and fervent shouts of acclamation, through the streets of the former capital of tbe Confeder acy. An officer wbo fought against the Union troops said, in a speech before an organization of ex-rebels, "that if Lee bad known what tbe horrors of reconstruction would be be would not have surrendered at Appomattox." Confederate flags were put into tbe bands of a statue of George Washing ton. A weak protest wasjnade against this indignity, but the authorities refused to remove them. The States, of Richmond, placed a banner over the front of Its office reading: "Robert E. Lee, America's Greatest Man." Lots ot other tbincs happened down there nn tbe occasion of the unveiling of tbe magnifi cent monument to tbe honored Lee. Tbe re ports say that the well-known "yell" was uttered with Its old time fierceness. These things are very interesting to the heroes who sacrificed so much ln-'61-'65. It is pleasing to tbe veterans to learn that a general protest comes from many places against the displaying of the "rebol rags," as tbey are called, and that a bill is now being prepared for presentation to Congress which will prohibit such displays. There were many excellent things said upon the subject by prom inent speakers in different parts of tbe country in Memorial Day addresses, words that would do the old soldiers good to hear, but they can not be reproduced here as there is not room. The U. Y. L. at the Cathedrnl. Encampment No, 1, Union Veteran Legion, 600 strong, will attend the services at St Paul's Catholic Cathedral, corner Fifth avenue and Grant street, this evening. Tbe comrades will assemble at headquarters. Sixth avenue, at 7 o'clock, and will move in a body to the church, arriving there at 7:30. Extensive preparations have been made for the reception of the Le gion. The full Cathedral Band will be stationed iu the balcony over the main entrance, and play appropriate music as the veterans enter and during the service. The Fathers of the College of the Holy Ghost will occupy the sanc tuary and will sing a solemn requiem, while the choir, largely increased, will furnish the music The church will be decorated with American flags, and as the legion moves through the center of tbe church With its guidons and colors, they will file to the rfght and left and occupy the seats nearest to the pulpit. It is estimated that many hundreds of old soldiers not members of the Legion, and citizens and their families who have never seen tbe inside of tbe Cathedral, will be there, and as it has the largest seating capacity of any church in the United States, seating nearly 4,000 peo ple, there will be room for all. The recent Im provements havo made it one of tbe handsomest churches In the country. Cblll nrzznrd's Eloquence. Colonel Chill W. Hazzard, Past Department Commander, delivered the Memorial Day ad dress at Monongabela City. For more than an hour be held an audience of 1,500 spellbound with his burning eloquence. Eyes were suf fused with tears frequently. Whisnerlnt's of approval could everywhere bo heard when he deprecated tbe spirit that had recently dragged forth tbe "foul and decaying flag of treason and flaunted It in tbe face of a forgiving peo ple." The speaker concluded in a dramatis way by offering a tribute' of flowers to those who had given their lives for the country they loved so well; another tribute for'those wbo had suffered tbe dangers, the trials and tbe hardships of war; another for the 3,000,000 widows and orphans scattered across tbe con tinent, and another for tbo mother wbo gave her son a living sacrifice upon tbe altar of liberty. Tben pausing wtth a handful of, flow ers, he asked: "Are the people of this land lor giving enough, is the patriotism of this coun try brave enough. Is me heart ot this nation great enough to cast a tribute ot flowers upon tho grave of treason? No; not to-day. It tbey were right we were wrong." A Cbnra of Desertion Kemoved.

A singular bird has recently been added to the collection in the London Zoological Gardens the much talked of carniverous parrot, which confines its love of an imal flesh almost exclusively to mut ton. According to the natnralists that have examined this rara avis, it possesses two qualities heretofore unknown in birds of its species. The first is this flesh eating propensity, an exception to the whole parrot family, which is fmgivorou.,, living on fruits, seed, leaves, buds and the like; and second, the fact that this carniverous taste is not natural, but acquired. This curious bird is the kea (Nestor liota bilis), or mountain parrot, and comes from New Zealand. In the time of the Maori rule in New Zealand the bird was as inno cent and harmless as any of the parrot spe cies, and it was not until the higher tracts of the country were utilized as sheep runs that the kea was tempted to desert its fruit eating habits and join the destructive army ofthecarnivora. About 1868 it was noticed that the sheep of the uplands were suffering from sores and scabs in the region of the loins, and tbat almost invariably the sufferers were those fattest and healthiest. Many discussions ensued as to what could be the cause. Soon alter some of the shepherds saw the feathered cannibal seated on the hips ot a sheep help ing himself to a dish of live mutton. From that day forward the bird was known as the sheep-eating parrot the feathered wonder of the antipodes. A MACHINE FOE SWEABIUG. The Device of an Ingenlom Chinaman to Leen ilie Wicked Man' Labor. Drake's Magazine. Tbe Chinese are the most skillful in ventors in the world, and it is not surprising , .... w t , .jj : : I that Wun Lung has succeeded in perfecting a device that at one jerk of the string will outswear a regiment of Hoang Ho flat-boat mates. Chinese oaths sound very much as if made by machinery, and so Wun Lung experi enced little difficulty in imitating them by a mechanical device. A complete swearing machine consisted of six cylinders, each containing a complex swearer, and all worked by a string after the lashion of the praying machine. Uy pulling the string once a man could swear more copiously than he could by a week's hatd work in the old way. Fitted out with a swearer and a prayer machine, a Chinaman has no cause to consider himself anything but well fixed. 1 One of the first things necessary when con templating a visit to Now York, is to arrance for yonr room.

Hla Decision in tbo Famous Laigdoa Cass Will Probnbly End It. New Vobk, May 31. Grover Cleveland, the referee appointed by the Supreme Court last December to determine tbe questions of value in the eight cases of Langdon against the Mayor, has anuounced his decision, in which he finds in favor of the city. The plaintiffs sued to recover compensa tion for the destruction of their wharf rights, which bad beeu extinguished when the city built the new bulkheads and piers on the North river in pursuance of the act ot 1871, and claimed that such compensation should be at tbe rate of at least $1,000 per running foot. Mr. Cleveland' has decided that the value of the plaintiff's rights is only $100 per running loot, which will resnlt in a judgment against tbe city aggregating in all the cases probably less than $75,000. This sum tbe city has always been willing to pay. Corporation Counsel Clark said that in his opinion Mr. Cleveland's decision would not only finally dispose of tbe Langdon cases, which it seems have now been pend ing beiore the courts for npward of 13 years, hut would enable him to secure a final determination of several other litiga tions affecting the city's water front.
