Recently at the Hotel Dronot there
waa a sale of a enrioaa and interesting
collection of ancient buttons, the proper
ty of Baron Perignan of foria. Th ia col
lection, which waa exhibited in 1889 at
the exposition ef decorative arts,1 might
rival any cue of those belonging to the
most cnthusiastta bnttoniats- in the
world. ' Clapisaon, the musician, col
lected 7,750 different specimens.' In
1849 a collector in Ghent exhibited
more than 80,000, and ,1L Maignien,
tbe librarian of tba Grenoble library,
gained a certain reputation in tbia
branch of cariosities through his collec
tion of buttons of liverie end of uni
forms. The buttons of tbe eighteenth century
bring high price in tbe market at the
present time. There are acme of them
that Fragonard, we are told, decorated
with hia marvelous pencil. In bia time
it waa fashionable to make presents of
but tone aa big aa a crown piece, on
which allegories and various subjects
were carved.
Bachaumost writes in hia "Secret
Memoirs, " Nov. 18, 1780: "The mania
for bul toes is today extremely ridicu
lous. Tbry are not only of enormous
aice, aome cf them as big as six pound
crowns, but miniatures and pictures are
mode upon them, and this ornamenta
tion ia extremely costly. Some of them
represent the medals of the 13 Clears,
others autiqoe statues and still others
the Metamorphoses of Ovid. "
Iabey, in bis biographical notes,
ays that when be came to Paris he
worked for a livirig by making copies
cf Vaolctfi and Bouchers on the lids of
fuiufTboxcp, cud tbat for these medal
lions be v. r.s paid from 6 to 8 francs
each. "As it was still the fashion, " he
said, "to vesr buttons as big as a 6
fraiio p:tce, vr-cu which Cupids, flowers
aud lauufcupes were cut in cameo, I
WFL't iulo thut business. I got 12 sous
for curb. "
Two years after this period in the
life of Eacbaumont buttons abandoned
erudition to take up edileship. All the
fine monuments of Paris were carved
cn thcin. Then came tbe patriotic but
tons, representing the taking of the Bas
tille, the emblem cf the three orders,
tbe Phrygian cap, tbe portraits of Louis
XVX, cf Mirabeau.
Shortly afterward these ornaments
were laid aside. The reign of tbe ar
tistic but ten was over, and the mother
of pearl button became general.
The oldest buttons at present in the
museums and among tbe collections are
tbe gold buttons discovered at Mycenae,
at the time cf tbe excavations undertak
en by Dr. Schliemann, and also those
found in tbe tomb of Childerio L The
latter were exhibited at the Louvre in
the Musee des Souverains. They are
made of goI and cf colored glass, imi
tating garnet Buttons detached from
copes and religious garments of the
middle ages and of the renaissance
bare also been discovered.
But the richest things of the kind, be
yond a dcubt, ore these that were worn
by Louis XIV. M. Maze-Sencier, in the
"Register of Diamcnds and Presents to
the King," at present preserved in the
ministry of foreign affairs, gives on offi
cial account of the buttons of that pomp
ous sovereign. It is as follows:
"Feb. 3, ieS5. Montarcy presented
to the king 80 diamond buttons, valued
at 180,030 livrCS.
"May 7, 1686. Made and delivered
by Sieur Bosc, 6 diamond buttons, 80,
000 livrea.
"July 26, 1685. Handed over by
Montarcy to tbe Marquis de Seignclay
for the king 75 diamond buttons, 686,
703 lirres.
"Aug. 1, 1685. Two diamond but
tons, 67.8C6 livrea
"Aug. 16, 1685. Three diamond but
tons, 69,660 livres.
"Dec 20, 1685. Four diamond but
tons, 83.775 livres."
Another item in the same year:
"July 26, 1685. Furnished by Mon
tarcy fcr the king's vest: Forty-eight
gold buttons, each set with a diamond,
and 06 chirps, 48 of vrbicb were com
posed of five diamonds each and 48 of
cue diamond each, 185.123 livres.
"Also 384 clasps for tbe doublet of
tbe king, 162 of which were formed cf
five diamonds each and 162 of one dia
mond each, 1,006.345 livres,
"In addition there ucre seven orna
mental claps of three diamonds each,
201,270 livrea
"Sundry presents, 83 ornamented
clasps. 574.36G livrn."
Tbat footd up a tou.1 of about 8,000,
000 livres for the buttons of the "Great
King" for the single year of 1685. Tbo
preceding year Louis XIV received a lot
of buttons that were valued at 1,071,000
livrea. In these etiumerations there ia
no mention of the diamonds for the
shoes, the garters, the cuCb and the
bats of the monarch.
We are obliged to ucmit, with our
cents and overcoats garnished with mis
erable little cloth and bone affairs, we
cut a poor figure in the fancy button
businers ccmpcrcd to the dudes of the
daya of Louis XIV. Paris Figaro.

' ' Well," 1 eball ? certainly inform the

Of course this dialogue was furnished
by huEband and wife Scene- A cable

spoken cf as "that woman" Vas a fe
male of uncertain age and decided stern
ness. She boarded the car at Fifty
ninth street. In her arms ehe carried
tbe "it" referred to man .fashion as
"the kid. Tenderly, almost to suffo

Not even the cud of its tiny nose nor a
wisp of baby hair peeped out from the
folds of the long cloafit Tne woman
snuggled and cuddled tbe bundled child,
and never an infantile waiFor a gasp

Tunneling the Strait or Sleaabia.
Engineering achievements and possi
bilities, from the mcdrrn point of view,
are receiving an additional illustration
in the caso of the projected tunnel be
tween the m&inlacd of Italy and the is
land of Sicily, plans and details of
which, in model, as executed by the
Italian civil engineer De Johannis,
have attracted much attention at the
University of Pacua. After thorough
and careful stuclies of the strait of Mes
sina, its varying depths, the nature of
the ground and of all other conditions
which might assist cr interfere with
such an undertaking, De Johannis de
cided that the beginning of the tunnel
should be near San Giovanni di Sani
tello, at the foot of the Aspromonte
mountain range, the month on tbe oth
er side to be located on the degli Ingle
si plain. The entire tunnel will te near
ly two miles leng and will consist in
tho main of two shafts cf about 10,000
feet each, defending at a grade not ex
ceeding 32 feet in each 1,000. Such a
tunnel is thought preferable to a bridge
that would : involve such a great span
and wind exposure. Harper's Round

By Telegraph to the Morning Star-
New York, July 28 To-day's cot
ton market opened steady, with price a
lower by 4 to 7 points, following bear
ing crop accounts, parilcularlv from
Texas and very unsatisfactory English
cables. Aftef a further decline of 1 to
S points in the near months, under local
and some Southern liquidation, tte
market steadied on moderately good
buying orders and closed firm for cesr
months and steady on distant position?,
witb prices 1 point higher to 5 points
net lower. Sales 57 400 bales. Official
as well as private crop advices showed
the drought in central and southern
Texas to be broken by good rains last
night. Tbe ready response of the Liver
pool market to this news led to con
siderable sellintr of long cotton, held
throughout yesterday's break in hopes
of a reaction to-day. The market was
vf r? small and narrow and sensitive
during the afternoon, with arc all oideis
either way. Buainess continued light
and almoat entirely local, but a ateady
undertone continued in eviderce oa tbe
spot situation. Only a few notices of
intended delivery of cotton on August
contracts were issued, and they were
stopped as soon as they were put in cir
culation. - New York. Jaly 88 Evening.
