SPRING.
BY MARGARET ELENORA Tl'PPER.
\ wliispvr along the hills,
A stir in the wakening ground,
The touch of a tender hand—
\ hand in the dark that thrills
Tin- heart to a great rebound.
Oh, the soul of the spring has gone into the
land.
The soul of the spring, and the joy of the
spring,
And a glory of light and love!
A whisper along the hills.
The music of life again,
A sweet, intangible good
That enters and warms and fills
The winter of heart and brain.
Oh, the soul of the spring has gone into my
blood.
The soul of the spring, and the song of the
spring.
And the splendor of light and love!

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1878.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
The Indian Spring Argn* tells how, during
a fight on Friday last between two negroes
living on a plantation occupied by Mr. A. II.
Ogletree, Mrs. Ogletree came very near to
receiving a fatal blow. It says: “She was
sitting in her dining room during the pro
gress of the difficulty when she was sudden
ly felled to the floor by being struck with a
rock about the size of a man’s fist, hurled
violently by one of the negroes at his com
batant, but missing its aim and resisting as
above stated. Mrs. Ogletree lay bleeding
and unconscious for some time, being
alone, when her husband arrived, who
dispatched for medical aid, and had
even* attention shown her that her critical
condition demanded. The father of the ne
gro who committed the deed, unintentional
as it was, was not satisfied* until Mr. Ogle
tree gave his son a sound drubbing for his
carelessness, which was well laid on, the
old man at the same time holding him with
a death grip in a favorable position to re
ceive the lashes. This done, the father ter
minated the punishment by an additional
flogging. Last accounts are to the effect
that Mrs. Ogletree is in a fair* way to re
covery.”
Alluding to the great benefits conferred
by the recent rains, the Ilinesvillc Gazette
says: “The ground was getting too dry and
hard to be ploughed, there was not a suffi
ciency of moisture in the earth to germinate
seed planted, the oat crop was suffering
considerably, and farmers grew despondent.
The salutary effects of the refreshing show
ers upon vegetation generally are already
discernible.”
Gainesville Eagle: “We have never seen
our farmers more cheerful and hopeful or
seemingly more determined to do their best
to induce mother earth to furnish her an
nual supply for the wants of both man and
beast. It is a real pleasure to converse with
some of them and observe the complacency
and self-satisfied air which they exhibit.”
On Friday last two Italians came into Alba
ny bringing with them a pet bear. They ban
tered the town for a light, proposing to tight
their bear against any two dogs that could be
found. A fight was soon made up, and, says
the Advertiser: “About one o’clock Bruin
was led into the jail yard and two medium
sized bulldogs were turned loose on him.
About two hundred people had assembled
to see the sport, and when the fighting com
menced excitement and general confusion
prevailed. Men forgot themselves and stood
over the combatants with drawn pistols and
and knives ‘to see that there was fair play.’
The fight continued for some fifteen or
twenty minutes, when the dogs, now badly
fatigued, refused to take hold of the bear
any moil*.”
The Cedartown Record gives the following
most sensible advice—which we cordially en
dorse—to those dissatisfied young men in
Georgia who think they can better their con
dition by emigrating: “It is getting to be
high time that our people, and especially
our young men, the hope of the country,
were learning that it is to their best interest
to stay here and engage in building up and
developing the resources of Georgia. Money
don’t grow on trees in Texas or anywhere
else. It is made honestly by hard licks and
well directed efforts, coupled with strict
economy and close attention to business. It
is made dishonestly by chicanery, sharp
practice and dishonest methods. Now, if a
young man has decided to ‘live honestly,
hurt nobody and render to every one his
due,’ he has a broad field for this exercise
of the gift that God hath given him, and
ample protection in Georgia.”
The Agricultural Society of Talbot county
has decided to hold a county fair next fall.
The Talbotton Register says on this subject:
“No doubt can be entertained of the ability
of our farmers to inaugurate a first-class ex
hibition. They have the live stock, of na
tive and improved breeds, the cotton, corn,
wheat, barley, oats, rye, rice, the root crops,
vegetables, etc., all of which, together with
full exhibits of the domestic arts, and the
products of the needle, will comprise an ar
ray at once indicative of our ability to live
at home, of our enterprise and varied in
dustries.” The society also, among other
sensible suggestions, threw out the following:
“The great risk depends on a single crop.
Diversity of crops supplies greatest wants,
while specific crops would crowd too much
labor into a single month. To diversify
crops and distribute labor throughout the
year are important considerations. ’
From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger
we learn that the train on the Macon and
Brunswick Road was fired into on Saturday
night under the following circumstances:
“At Baxley a white man by the name of
Jj-uitt is reported to have gone to a negro
mau’e house, and for some cause fired at him
some five of six times, aud with what effect
our informant could not say. He then went
away. The negroes were very much in
censed, and Truitt found it necessary to se
crete himself. At 11:30 p. m , when the up
passenger train passed through, Truitt and
his friends left their concealment and went
to the train. A crowd, supposed to be ne
groes. opened fire on them, and continued
tiring after they had reached tlje train. They
returned the fire. Two windows in the
sleeper and one in the second class car were
broken by the balls. The whole thing
amounted to nothing more than a drunken
row, and the officials of the road were in no
way responsible nor to l>laiiuM:i the matter.
It is fortunate no serious da^ge was done.”

EFFECT OF TIIE SITUATION ON FOREIGN
STOCK MARKETS.
London, April 9.—Th^ stock market was
quiet yesterday, but prices in the foreign
department were upheld by quotations from
the continent. Russians at onetime touched
their highest point since Lord Derby re
signed the Foreign Secretaryship. It is
surmised in some quarters that continental
prices are supported by a combination
which is endeavoring to negotiate a new Rus
sian loan. One of the members of the Berlin
banking house of Mendelsohn was in Paris
yesterday seeking the co-operation of Paris
financial houses concerned in last year’s
loan, to place about three hundred million
francs more. Several Paris dispatches state
that Herr Mendelsohn returns to Berlin un
successful. The market became flatter
towards the close yesterday in consequence
of apprehensions of disclosures that might
be made in Parliamentary debates on the
address to the Queen.
The general effect of the debates, how
ever, will be reassuring. The government's
measures are supported by a large majority
in Parliament. While the language of the
Ministers was moderate concerning the pur
pose of those measures, and hopeful of
the ultimate success of the diplomatic ef
forts of the powers, the most interestiug
and important debate was
LORD DERBY’S STATEMENT.
This showed the difference between Lord
Derby aud his colleagues to be of long
standing, and affecting the substance of
their entire Eastern policy. Lord
Derby disapproved of an early sum
moning of Parliament. The date ulti
mately fixed was a compromise on the
proposition that Parliament should meet
even earlier. He disapproved so strongly of
the vote of credit that he temporarily retir
ed from the Cabinet, and for forty-eight hours
his resignation was in Lord Beaconsfield’s
hands. But now it is not the call
ing out of the reserves which
induces him to resigu. There are other
reasons, but what those other reasons are
he cannot divulge until the propositions of
the government from which he dissented
are made known. It appears therefore that
the government has come to some resolu
tions which at present are held in re
serve, while the government has held
from the outset that Russia can
not liberate herself from the existing en
gagements without the consent of other con
tracting parties. Lord Derby attaches liUle
importance to the necessity of requiring from
her a formal acceptance of that principle.
He recognizes that, if the Congress should
meet, such a principle must be laid down,
but h<* does not emphasize it as a primary
requisite for a final arrangement of
any kind. He regards the failure of
the Congress as comparatively unimportant.
He does not recognize the consequences
of that failure or the state of affairs as justi
fying or requiring forcible defiance. In de
fence of British interest they might be a sub
ject of further uegotiations, in which objec
tions to various points of the treaty of Sail
Stefano could be discussed between the in
dividual powers, but he deprecates, on every
ground, England’s going to war on account
of such interests as are involved in these
questions.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EARL DERBY AND
THE CABINET.
Earl Derby’s statement in the House of
Lords yesterday showed that several differ
ences arose between him and his colleagues
before his resignation. He was with diffi
culty persuaded to assent to the early sum
moning of Parliament and to the
six million vote. It is also stated
in the event of war all England
could hope from Germany was a bare and
uot benevolent neutrality.
The Marquis of Salisbury in his speech
strongly objected to Lord Derby’s making
these unusual revelations. He hail no offi
cial information that Prince GortsebakofT
denied the truth of Prince Ghike’s report of
his conversation relative to Bessarabia. If
he had such information it would be for
each to determine whom lie thought more
creditable—Gortschakoff or Ghike.
GERMANY WILL NOT BE PASSIVE.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of tin*
Tiuue says the belief that Germany is
abandoning her strictly passive attitude is
rapidly gaining ground here. It is said that
Prince Bismarck evidently intends to use
his influence in favor of peace. The sup
posed negotiations for a Congress will be
recommenced on some new basis. No
answer has yet been sent to Lord Salisbury’s
circular.
AUSTRIA AND ENGLAND TO BE REPLIED TO
SIM C LT ANEOUSLY.
A report is current in Vienna that Prince
Gortschakoff has notified Austria that he has
postponed his answer to her demand until
England has formulated her counter propo
sals, so that Ife npiy be able to reply to Aus
tria aud England simultaneously.
AUSTRIA’S VIEWS UNFAVORABLY RECEIVED.
A dispatch to the Tunes from Vienna says:
“Despite the reassuring utterances of Rus
sian semi-official journals, the presentation
of a written statement of Austria's views,
which followed General Ignatieff's return to
St. Petersburg, seems to have produced au
unfavorable impression there.”

.bill, which, he claims, will, while relieving
and encouraging commerce, aud manufac
tures and abolishing many hardships and ab
surdities resultiug from the existiug tariff,
produce a revenue of $141,0U0,UJ0 as against
£131,000,000 received last year.
Among the unimportant nominations is
that of Mrs. Susan H. Burbridge as Post

PHIL SHERIDAN SUED FOR $500,000.
New York, April 9.—An action against
Major General Philip H. Sheridan, in which
one Jas. A. Whalen;seeks to recover nearly
$500,000, is on the calendar of the United
States Circuit Court, and will probably be
reached for trial in the course of a day or
two. The suit is brought to obtain damages
for alleged unlawful conversion to his own
use of stocks of a Louisiana plantation in
the month of August, 1867. The proper
ty scheduled in the complaint amounts to
8420,000, and embraces horses, cows, pigs,
^heep and mules by the hundred, shovels,
spades, ploughs, carts, wagons, hoes and
other farm implements, together with about
three hundred hogsheads of sugar and two
hundred and fifty hogsheads of molasses; in
f act,the complete stock of Killona plantation,
in St. Charles Parish. It is understood the
defendant will show that all these acts of ap
propriation were done by the General in his
capacity as a military officer and in behalf
of the United States Government while he
was acting as commander of the Military
Department of the Gulf during the early
period of reconstruction; and further, that
the inventory is largely exaggerated both as
to quantity and value.

A Berlin dispatch to the l*o' Midi (jazttte
says : “ Notwithstanding the favorable re

believe that M. Bratiano, the Roumanian
Premier, is dissatisfied with the results of
his visit here. Germany has declined to use
direct pressure upon Russia for the with
drawal of her claims to Bessarabia. The
government has advised M. Bratiano to lay
his case before the Czar, and endeavor to
come to terms by an amicable arrangement. ’ 1
WIIAT RUSSIA DEMANDS,
St. Petersiiurg, April 9.—The Journal <k
St. JitrrabHrg, adverting to the hopes of a
maintenance of peaee which have gained
ground during the last few days, points out
what would have to be done in order to
effect a solution of the crisis. Russia de
mands that the benefits obtained for Chris
tians shall not be secured by inefficacious
stipulations like those of 1S5G, hut
by material guarantees. Russia cannot
accept the ephemeral decision of a
Congress because it would not assure peace.
If Europe be disposed to undertake the set'-
tlement of the Eastern question in the seqse
of emancipating the Christians, Russia will
not raise any difficulties, but the discussion
of the questions at issue must be inspired
by coniidence, not by jealousy.
THE QUESTION OF RESUMPTION.
New York, April 9.—Secretary Sherman

At one oYiock a conference was begun be

him. The meeting was strictly private.
The object,it is understood,is au interchange
of views in regard to the financial condition
of the country aud the practicability of re
suming specie payments on the 1st of .Janu

AGRARIAN MURDERS IN
LAND.
IRE
A Lone Array ol Fearful Tragedies
Following Exaction* by the Land
lord—A Record of Fifty Years.
The list of agrarian murders in Ireland
may lie begun with that of another Irish
peer, Lord Norbury. On New Year’s
day, 1839, while the Earl was walking in
the shrubbery of his own bouse, Kibeg-
gun, county of Meath, and pointing out
certain projected improvements to ins
steward, he was shot dead by an assassin,
who was seen to escape, though in the
confusion he eluded pursuit. The print
of a small and well made boot such as
no peasant would wear was found
where he had taken bis stand, and this
. fact ga. c rise to much wild speculation
as to the person and motives of the mur
derer.
A reward of #5,000, with an annuity
for life of #500, failed to obtain any clue
to him, and, as the murdered nobleman
was on good terms with his Catholic
neighbors and tenants and did not con
cern himself about politics, the cause of
his taking off lias ever remained a mys
tery. This crime, however, was historic.
It fired the passions of the panic-striken
landlords and brought about the famous
meeting of the magistrates of Kings
county, whereat the phrase in the letter
of Under-Secretary Thomas Drummond,
refusing an increase of police for Tip
perary, ‘‘Property lias its duties as well
as its rights,” was exalted into a proverb.
Lord Cbarleville denounced it as, though
innocent enough in itself, little less than
a deliberate aud unfeeling insult in the
circumstances under which it was offered.
The formal resolutions declared that it
had had "the unfortunate effect of in
creasing the animosities entertained
against the owners of the soil by its oc
cupants, who now constitute themselves
the sole arbiters of the rights as well as
of the duties of the property.”
Three years later, iu May, 1842, out
rages on the persons and properties of
landowners and agents began again to lie
common in Ireland, particularly iu Tip
perary and Kings counties. On the 2d
of July the special commission for the
former county finished its work, making
several convictions. Patrick Byrne, for
instance, was convicted of shooting Mr.
Robert Hall, the landlord of one Kent,
who, in revenge for the ejectment of a
relative by Mr. Hall, incited Byrne to the
murder. Timothy Quilty was convicted
of murdering Michael Lallan, a bailiff:
he was dragged from his house in open
day and shot on the highway in sight of
several passers.
The next notable demonstration was in
August, 1843, when a collision took place
at Turlougomore Fair, near Galway, be
tween the police and jieasants, ending in
two men—one a magistrate—lieing killed
and ten wounded. On the 12th of No
vember the dwelling of Sir. Waller, of
Finneo, Tipperary, was surrounded by
peasant tenants, who fired on the family
seated at dinner and beat its members
shockingly in the struggle which fol
lowed. Mr. Waller and two others being
killed. On the 6th of April, 1845, at
Ballyrahan, a gang of “Molly Maguires”
beat to death on the highway, in daylight,
a rate collector. Though one of the mur
derers was captured on the spot, no one
would venture to identify him, aud tiie
C’orouer’s jury returned a verdict of
“wilful murder against some persons un
known ”
May 1G, 1846, took place the fatal affray
of Bird Hill. Maunsell, a sub-tenant,
barricaded himself and friends in a house,
from which the sub-sheriff of Tipperary,
with a body of police, undertook to oust
him on a writ of ejectment. The police
killed four of the besieged party, when
the others surrendered. In the last week
of October 3 murderous assaults were
made on land agents in Longford. De
nunciations of unpopular landlords from
the altar now began. October 24, Father
McDermott,of Strokestown, said: “There
is Major Mahon, absent from you all this
winter, not looking after your wants or
distress, hut amusing himself; and lie
returns and finds his property all safe,
and the return he makes to you is to
bum and destroy your houses and leave
your poor to starve on the road. ” The
next Sunday the priest added: “Major
Mahon is worse than Cromwell and
vet he lives.” “If the Major lives
a month after this,” said a gen
tleman to Lord Farnham, “ he
is immortal.” On the 2oth of November
the Miijor was shot dead upon the high
way, four miles from Strokestown, as lie
was returning from the meeting of the
Roscommon Board of Guardians. A po
liceman sent to make inquiries was killed
on the same spot. Ralph Hill, agent of
Mr. David Fitzgerald, was shot dead
while distraining the corn of a tenant at
Rathure; the Marquis of Ormonde’s sub
agent, O’Donnell was, shot; so was the
Rev. John Lloyd, vicar of Aughrim, as
he was riding home from service. When,
on the 29th, Sir George Grey introduced
his bill for the repression cf crime in
Ireland, he said that for the six months
ending with October, ninety-six homicides
had been committed, as against sixty-
eight in 1846; attempts on life by firing
on passers along the highway had in
creased from 55 to 126: robberies of arms
from 207 to 530: firing of dwellings from
51 to llti. Of 195 crimes of these four
classes during October, 1847, 139 were
committed iu Clare. Limerick aud Tippe
rary. With 13 per cent, of the popula
tion of Ireland, these three counties
committed 71 per cent, of its crime.
Before the special commission at Lim
erick. January 4, 1848, one Ryan, alias
“Puck,” who was reputed to have been
concerned in nine murders, was convicted
and sentenced to death. He and four
others were hanged; between twenty and
thirty were transported. Similar results
followed the session at Ennis and Clon
mel; here there were 400 prisoners in jail.
In the exciting events of 1848 individual
outrages were lost sight of, and the next
sensation case was the shooting, as he
was driving home from Dundalk, of
Robert Lindsay Maleverer, a magistrate
of Londonderry and agent over exten
sive estates in the north of Ireland. Two
men, strongly suspected of the murder,
were tried, hut the jury refused to con
vict.
On the 4th of December, 1851, as Mr.
Thomas Bateson, brother of Sir Robert
Bateson, and manager of Lord Temple
ton's estate in Monaghan, was returnig
from the model farm of Castle Blaney,
three men, hidden in the shrubbery where
the road ran through a hollow, fired on
him, then rushed Gut and heat him to
death with pistols and bludgeons. Sev
eral persons were put on trial, hut the
jury refused to convict April 10, 1854,
however, Coomey, Quine aud Grant, the
murderers, were hanged exulting. “Say
anything';” said Coomey, “our Saviour
Sard nothing when lie was executed. ”
‘ T|cll cgnnot scare qs”-’ said (|aiiin; ' the
hangman's doing tlio best job he ever
did for us;” and he added: “Mary,
mother of God. receive us; prepare
heaven for us.”
The next famous murder was that of
Miss Charlotte Hends, of Balivconcell,
county Cavan, who v.as shot an3 fatally
wounded us she was driving home,
October 12, 1855. Months before she
had been doomed to death at a secret
meeting of her tenants. Between the
20th and 28th of >(qvemlf‘r about twenty
cases of lqurder or murderous assault
\vcre reported, ip only a few of which
puuld witnesses he obtained to testify
against the persons arrested.
On the 15th of April, 1868, as Mr.
Howard Featherstonliaugh, Deputy Lieu
tenant of the county of Westmeath, was
driving home with his servant from Kil-
lacan station—he had been to Dublin to
welcome the Prince of Wales—his car
riage was stopped and he was dragged
out and shot. Mr. Featherstonliaugh was
a very large proprietor, and there had
just lieen some evictions on his estates.
Outlie 14th of August, at Ballycohey,
Tipperary. Mi. W. Scully’s baliff and a
policeman were murdered while serving
notices of eviction. May 28, 1869, a
farmer named Power was lieaten to death
at Rathgomiac. Tipperary, for taking a
farm from which a tenant had been evic
ted.
Mr. Bradshaw, J. P., of Cappagh-
whitc, Tipperary, was shot through the
head on liis own lawn and barbarously
mutilated. William O'Brien, of MoIhQl,
agent for some property in Sligo, was
shot and wouuded. then strangled and
stabbed from behind; then his breast and
ribs were smashed in with a rock weigh
ing thirty pounds. On the 2d of No
vember, 1870, Captain Lidwell’s bailiff;
one Murphy, was stoned to death at
Templemore.
Such were some of the most notorious
murders springing from the land ques
tion recorded down to the beginning of
this decade.
The latest outrage, previous to the
murder of Lord Leitrim, was that on
Jlr. Patten Bridge, agent for a Mrs.
Buckley, at Galtee Castle, Tipperary.
He was a harsh aud vigorous man, and
in 1874 raised rent by some twenty-five
per cent, upon four hundred tenants.
One of them, Ryan, refused to
pay rent or give up his farm,
and when Mr. Bridge threatened
to evict lnm, fired on the agent as with
his sister he was walking up the avenue.
Though badly wounded, he recovered,
got #1,000 from the local rates for his in
juries, and went on with his work un
flinchingly.
Od the 30tli of March, 1870, as he
was returning from receiving the rents,
his car being guarded, a volley' was fired
into it from the hedge and the driver was
killed and Mr. Bridge got thirty buck
shot wounds. lie got #5,000 damages
from the local rates and his coachman’s
widow #2,500, and the end of the matter
was a libel suit brought by the irrepressi
ble agent against the writer of a letter
describing the grinding exactions of the
landlord of Galtee, a libel suit which
Mr. Bridge did not win, so powerful a
picture of misery did the witnesses for
the defense in this wueecekl>re paint.
THE HEAD-DRESS OF FEATHERS.
A Feminine Rebellion Wtilvli Queen
Victoria Speedily Put Down.
A Bad Man fora Robber to Encounter.
Boston Journal, March 18.
The house of Dr. James W. Bartlett,
in Newton, was on Sunday uight the
scene of a thrilling adventure, the cir
cumstances attending which, as related
by the doetor himself, are these: About
half past twelve o'clock a. m. Mrs. Bart
lett descried a movement of a door of the
chamber occupied by herself and hus
band. With remarkable presence of
mind she refrained from making any out
cry and cautiously aroused Dr. Bartlett,
in answer to whose whispered inquiries
respecting the cause of her alarm she in
formed him that a man was entering the
room. The doctor instantly sprang out
of lied and felt for his rifle, which usu
ally stands at the head of the bed, from
which convenient position the servant girl
had a few days ago removed it. Stepping
to another door leading to a passage, he
struck a match, bv the light of which he
saw a man. He stepped hack and
lighted a lamp, and seizing a small Smith
& Wesson seven-shooter, started in
pursuit of the intruder, who was making
all possible speed down stairs. Dr. Bart
lett called out, “Stop, young num, ” to
which the fellow paid no heed The
doctor took deliberate aim and fired,
lodging the bullet in the hack of the re
treating visitor, who, nevertheless, con
tinued his flight down stairs and through
a spacious hall, the floor of which was
covered with two Polar hear'skins. The
upper part of the house was light, hut
the hall was dark. The bear skins, how
ever, emitted a phosphorescent light as
the man in his stockings passed over
them, revealing his position to the
doctor, who, pointing his revolver down
ward, fired again. This time the hall
lodged in the right knee of the robber,
bringing him to the floor.
He recovered himself, and paying no
heed to the cries of the doctor to stop,
passed through the servants’ apartments
in the L, down the hack stairs and out
of doors. As he wa3 passing through
the door Dr. Bartlett levelled his revolver
at him and fired, hut the cartridge failed
to explode, otherwise he would have
killed him on the spot. The man ran
across the lawn, and wheu about fifty
rods from the house he fainted. He
however managed to crawl to the stable
on the premises of Colonel Albert Pope,
whose hired man he awakened and re
quested permission to pass the night
there, which was granted.
In the meantime Dr. Bartlett dressed
and went to the police station, where he
related the story of his adventure. An
officer and a fireman accompanied him
to his residence, upon searching which
an overcoat, shoes and coil of half-inch
rope were found in the dining-room.
The coat was identified by the servant
girl as belonging to a young man named
Charles Bancroft, who came to Dr. Bart
lett a few weeks ago and was hired by
him to work on the place and drive his
carriage. He had lieen in the employ
of the doctor less than a week when he
was discharged for careless driving. He
went to Dr Bartlett well recommended,
having letters bearing the signatures of
some of the most prominent citizens of
Boston, which signatures, there are
strong grounds for believing, are forge
ries.
About 5 o’clock this morning Bancroft
called the hired man qf Colonel Pope
and begged him to go and summon Dr.
Bartlett, as he was bleeding freely from
the wounds he had received. The doc
tor went to the stable and confronting his
late visitor, the latter remarked: “You
are a good shot,” to which the doctor re
plied: “I wish I had killed you.” Ban
croft rejoined: “I wish you had; I
should have killed you if I hud had any
thing to do it with!” He is not danger
ously wounded.

ty. It cannot lie said that the season has
begun, for we are in mid Lent, hut when
the court is in London there is generally
a stir throughout society, which is fore
runner of the hustle and excitement sure
to prevail after Easter. The Queen ac
tually managed to remain in Loudon this
week from "tuesday till Friday, and thus
gave to many of the young ladies who
are to come out this season an op
portunity of making their first bow to
her. By all accounts these same young
ladies are above the average in point
of good looks. A friend of mine
who was present at the drawing room on
Thursday declares that there were at least
half a dozen present who were prettier
than Mrs. Langtry.’ the lady from Jer
sey, who was generally admitted to carry
off the palm for beauty last season, and
of whom I wrote to you some time in
June. Half a dozen Jlrs. Langtrys! The
thing seuus impossible, hut my friend,
who Is an old campaigner and a good
judge, declares that it is true. As a mat
ter of course there- was none of the in
subordination at this drawing room
which occurred at the previous one, and
which called forth a solemn manifesto
from the Lord Chamberlain's office.
Everybody knows that it is de rigeur for
ladies to wear a head dtess of feathers
when presented to the Queen. Why it
should he so is not material—the rule is
well known, and has to he complied with.
But feathers are not becoming, especially
to young ladies, on whom, indetxl, they
look ridiculous to the last degree. One
or two of tiie rollicking and audacious
beauties of the day determined
to incite a rebellion and appear at court
without the feathers. This was a bold
experiment, for tiie Queen notices every
thing. and will not suffer the slightest
deviation from established rule or disci
pline. The disposition to make light of
’conventionalities’ and ‘old fashioned
forms' so characteristic of the present
age is not shared by Her Majesty. When,
therefore, the first of the fair rebels ap
peared before her with a flower in her
hair instead of feathers, a degree of dis
pleasure was manifested which made the
offender very sorry that she had ever
been led into attempting so foolish an
experiment. The ally who was waiting
in the background deemed it prudent to
beat a speedy retreat. The Lord Cham
berlain was comm:mded to issue afresh
the commands of Her Majesty on the
subject, and it is pretty certain no one-
will have the hardihood to transgress
again for some time to come. After all,
if there arc rules they ought to be obeyed,
and while the Queen lives the ’free and
easy’ style of the present day will not he
tolerated at the court, wherever else it
may rule. ”
