FASHIONABLE IMMODESTY.
roint* About England’s Noted Beauties.
lAtit* •
Take the family portraits whi.ch hang
in the picture 'galleries of hi) great
houses, and we are driven tQ admit that
whatever else of womargy virtue our
grandmothers and great aunts possessed,
modesty was not one of them, and that
the study of female r.natomy was as ad
vantageously provided by the paintings
of Gainsborough and Sir Joshua Rey
nolds as by the writings of Dunglison and
Hunter. 4 .. T
But to com and down to our own time, in
England tbo female evening or full drees
is. and al’vavs has boco.de riQueur, decol
lete. It is the established court dress of
the En glish Court, and there never nas
goverpio® y? strict in the rules &nd
regulations which enforce ita observance
as is Ouecn Victoria. The <jueen herself
in her i-cst da'cs was never alarmingly re
luctant as to the extent of her own dis
t>lav of those womanljh charms with the
!>ossession of which she is in no small de
gree accredited. Her daughters, too,
when in c ening dress, are quite lavish in
an exhibition which leaves but little to
the imagination. Especially may this lie
said to be the case with the Fnncess
Louise And, indeed, she can hardly be
blamed lor not seeking to conceal one of
the most rounded, plump and satiny necks
and pairs of shoulders and the most bil
lowy of bosoms in the United Kingdom;
and'that is say ing a good deal. Certainly no
men object to the gracious view she gives
them,arid what women may say is of course
actuated bv jealousy and spite. I doubt
if Labouchere has ever seen the Princess
Louise in a low-necked gown. If he ever
had he wouldn’t have another word to say
against the custom.
The Princess of Wales, on the other
band, makes a great mistake in dressing
so low as she does. In many harmless
things an avowed prude, her bodices are
not onlv among the most decollete in
England, but she has a way of hoisting
up her shoulders that, aside Irom giving
the appearance of effort on her part to
crawl through, shows the complete con
tour of both arms between the top of the
bodice and the shoulder joint. One could,
perhaps, forgive this trick if the result
was satisfactory in other respects. But
her neck is liony and scraggy to a degree.
What surprises one most is that she should
be as fond as she is of being photographed
in a semi-statuesque fashion.
Gladvs, Countess of Lonsdale, has a
beautiful neck, and a bust which, to once
see as she graciously condescends to un
veil it, would make one regard as a
species of vandalism any movement of
fashion directed to even a soupeon of its
future obscurity. Mrs. Cornwallis West
is now getting decidedly passe; hut in
her best days, about three or four years
ago. she dressed as decollete as—well, as
decollete as everybody dresses now’. But
at the time she w'as considerably sat upon
inconsequence. Yet no one-could reaKy
blame her, beyond its then styled immexi
desty, tor showing as lovely a neck xnd
shoulders as one could well wish to see.
The young Marchioness of Kildare. Aady
Herinione Duneotnbf that was a few
months ago, has a beautiful neck, of
which she never hesitates to show wbat
would be considered a SKperabunder.ee in
a less favored-by-nature woman.
Aud, alter all, that is really wkere it
all is. One doesn’t object to the pretty
necks going as decollete as they-please, ft
is the ugly “ones that make the fashion de
testable. Did fashion restrict the custom
to the possessors of marble Shoulders,
satin necks and billowy bosoms, there
wouldn’t be a word said." But unhappily
it lets every one take part in the full dress
“undress” parade, anti, as a cor sequence,
fat old dowagers with necks and dump
ling-like continuations of purple buck
skin; ancient maidens with yellow parch
ment backs more rounded than their
chests; tall, ungainly women who con
sider skin-covered shoulder-blades an I
collar-bones a sigkt to delight the eye;
and lestbetic young damsels, the NPe
green of whose complexions and the un
broken flatness of whose outlines seem to
intensify as they descend—all find -en
trance, and, in keeping with the well-es
tablished peculiarities of ugly women,
thiuk there charms arc so great that (dber
people cannot be shown enough of tfcem.
No wonder, then, is it that the sights ODe
sees at balls are enough to nauseate one,
and that people are up in arms against a
continuance of a custom that forces them
fo look against their will upon nude hide
ousness. But could the fashion, as I say,
be strictly confined by act of Parliament
to the women I have inentioned and a few
others, such as young Mrs. Sassoon,
Lady Beatrix Herbert, Lady Garoagh and
Mrs. Langtry, the ant How neck move
ment would no more be heard of.
Of Mrs. Langtry in connection with the
subject, I need not say much. I under
stand that her theatrical tour in America
will this time include >an Frarcisco, and
those who have not already seen her will
then have the opportunity of judging for
themselves. 1 will say this, if after see
ing her in a decollete dress they do not
express a regret that gowns are worn so
high nowadays I shall be very much mis
taken. Some people there are who will tell
you that that is her chief attraction. Per
haps they may oe right, but I do not
think so.' Excelling as -she does in all
that goes to make (physically speaking) a
perfectly beautiful woman, it is impossi
ble to say in which she excels the most
—in feature, carriage, complexion, form,
figure, smile, expression or manner.
Whatever attracts your notice most at the
moment will 6eeua to be her greatest
charm, lt in turn will give place to an
other, and so those in her presence will
experience an ever-present but ever
changing delight. She never tires you. It
is in the immense variety of her attrac
tions that Mrs. Langtry really stands
alone among women, not only as'the most
beautiful, but the most bewitching woman
of the day.
Her powers seem inexhaustible, limit
less. Not only does she attract attention,
but she keeps it; and I defy any man (or
woman either) to keep his eyes off her
while she is within sight. The subtile in
fluence ot her presence I have never heard
denied by any one who has ever been
thrown in her society- 1 have nodoubt there
will be many who on first seeing her on
the stage will say they are disappointed.
Bi t they won’t really be. They will only
think so. A woman’whose beauty would
please all preconceived tastes and satisfy
all anticipations would not only be an im
possibility, but a nondescript as odd as
ever delighted the wily Barnum. No
such woman ever existed. The majority
will like her at once, while the others,
with ideals of beauty different from hers,
will find their real and only disappoint
ment in the shattering ot the models their
minds had ever pictured to them .as the
perfection of female loveliness. But once
the ideal destroyed, they will socn.be won
over. To those who come back from
her first performance I say, “Wait. Wait
a day or two, and see if you can help
wanting to go and see her again, and if,
during the interim, she does not come up
before your mind’s eye a thousand times,
and as no other woman, real or imagina
ry, everfiid before.”

• The effect of eloquence upon large as
semblies was strikingly illustrated in the
court room at Henderson, Kr_, last week.
Two well known young men in the place
had bees arrested on the charge of send
ii tg scurrilous letters through the mails to
a most estimable and prominent citizen,
an and one of them was on triaL The Hon.
John Young Brown, formerly member of
.Con cress from that district, and who has
mad.? a national reputation as an orator,
was employed far the United States. The
ate us ed were of prominent kuailies. and
ac effo rt was mad- to defeat the prosecu
tion on some teck nicality. Mr. Brown
made an argument to the court, which is
described as faavyv' been remarkable.
The court room was crowded with specta
tors, and At one time vhe whole audience j
was in tears. This produced by a I
prosecutor is certainly very remarkable, j
Mr. Brown’s point was made upon the !
sanctity of home. Circuit Judge CisselL, !
before whom the case was argued, said
that the &3alogy of mental and physical
leprosy drawn by Mr. Brown surpassed
anything he had’ever heard. There were
gentlemen in the court house who lived in
Washington city and had heard Black,
tleverdy Johnson, IngersoJl, and all the
great lawyers who practice in the Su
preme Court of the United States, and
they declared that Mr. iHrown’s great ef
fort excelled any and all of them. The re
peated outbursts of applause were spon
taneous and irresistible. The .accused
were held over for trial.
The dusilay of orchids at the great horti
cultural show at Paris and the fashionable
flatter round the curious flowers has revived
a story of a certain English nobleman “gewe’’
on the orchid question. It seems that a won
derful specimen of the plant was exhibited in
a shop on the Quai de la Mecisserie. This
gentleman walked in, got the history of the
plant from the owner, learned how it had
been discovered in Mexico, that it was the
only one known in Europe, and valued at 500
francs. My lord threw down a note for the
amount, laid the orchid oc the ground, and.
crashing it with his heel, told the indignant
importer that now no one should boast of a
rarer plant than he himself possessed.
THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1884.
LINCOLN’S NOMINATION.
Mow He Struggled with a Crowd After
the News was Received.
Sprinaftld III.) Letter to the Philadelphia
Free*.
**l remember very well how Lincoln re
ceived the news of his first nomination as
President twenty-four years ago,” said ■
Mr. George M. Brinkerhoff, of this city, a
few days ago while engaged in exchang
ing jwutical reminiscences with a group
of friends. “You are all familiar with the
story of his abrupt departure from the
handball alley, where he was having a
hotly contested game with some of his
particular friends, with the remark that
•there is a little woman down on Ninth
street who is more interested in that than
I am,’ and you must also remember the
rejoinder of his loving spouse when she
heard the news. ‘I knew all the time
you’d get it—you old fool,’ but did you
ever hear of the great ratification meet
ing on August 8, 1860, at the old fair
grounds, which forms what is now the
village of West Springfield, or the West
End?
“I was a young lad at the time,” began
the by way of preface, when as
sured that the story was new to his audi
ence, and that they all desired to hear the
recital of it from one who took part in the
memorable event in Lincoln’s career, “and
I was proud to be identified with the pub
lic gatherings of the party, so that, when
an immense public ratification of Mr.
Lincoln's nomination was announced, I
was pleased to be allowed to take an ac
tive part in the management of it. There
were upwards of 25.000 strangers in the
city, and in those days that was a great
crowd to gather for a political affair.
Prominent speakers from all parts of the
State and from other States were an
nounced to be present, and the people
poured into the city from all directions in
1 every imaginable kind of vehicle, until
the procession to the grounds extended up
and down all the principal streets and
crossed backward and forward over aline
•several miles in length.
“When at length the grounds were
reached the crowd was so dense as to be
almost impenetrable and every body want
ed te see Mr. Lincoln. He
was at home, and Robert
Officer and I, who were acting as as
sistaTT. Marshals, were ordered to hasten
to his little brown house, which still
stands at the cornet of Ninth and Jack
son streets, and br ; ug Jbim at once to the
grtunds. We maSc all possible speed to
the city, where ■; had no trouble in find
irg the nominee and made good time re
turning to the -grounds until we reached
a spot near tbc gate. Then it began- to be
•noised around"hat Mr. Lincoln had come,
and I have never seen a crowd off people
act so frantically as they did. They
climbed upTato the trees to get a good
view, until the branches seemed certain
to break ntsl precipitate their burdens to
the ground. Two young saplings were
bent down in front of the horses, so that
further progress was hnpossiMe, and then
they gathered about the carriage, fright
ening - tte horses, so that the harness was
broken.
‘ The 7 climbed up on the steps and even
on tin' of the carriage until it was cover
ed, and it seemed certain that Mr. Lin
coln oust be smothered unless he was in
stantly removed. How to get away was a
serious question. We were entirely at
sea, as we could not move the carriage
one way or another and dared not take
Mr. Lincoln into the crowd on foot, when
luckily some person spied old man Crow
dor on his saddle horse near by, and we
hurriedly hustled him off arid led the
horse up to the baek of the carriage.
Then we made Mr. Lincoln crawl tbretigh
j the back window of the carriage over the
1 horse’s tail and into the saddle. Mr.
Officer and 1 then took the lead, and in
oliedience to the commands of our -superior
officers we pushed our way through the
crowd, beating the people back with our
wands, or sticks, which we carried to en
force respect for our commands, and al
ter a ci eat deal of effort we succeeded In get
ting away. Crowds of people followed us
back to town, keeping up with the horse
which Mr- Lincoln rode, but one by one
they dropped behind by the wayside' until
only one was left. He never gave up, and
when we stopjieil at the door oi Mr. Lin
coln’s house he was standing on the steps
waiting to welcome us and eagef to shake
bands with the man whose mere presence
had aroused so great a furore, “Well, my
man, where do you come from?’ asked
Mr. Lincoln. ‘I came down from Chicago
with my company,’ was the reply.
•Well,’ said Mr. Lincoln again, as hegave
the man a hearty shake of the hand, ‘if
you will bring your company here to
night I will shake hands with every one
of them;’then turning to us he said, ‘I
guess I would have been smothered, boys,
it you had not got me out of there—
wouldn’t I?’”
Blaine's Grandfather Gillespie.
“CArts” yfagte in PitttburQ Dispatch.
Old Neal Gillespie, father-in-law of
Ephraim Blaine, the father of Jim, lived
out in Washington county. He was a
shrewd business man, well liked by his
neighbors, but always considered a little
queer. One of his favorite pranks was to
hitch a horse to his sleigh in midsummer,
throw in a lot et buffalo robes and drive
over to Washington. I think the whole
trouble with him was that the more his
family endeavored to prevent his doing
queer things, the more he would do them.
When his sons aud daughters married
and left his roof he gave each one a tine
farm, and when his daughter married Eph.
Bli'Lne, she shared like the others, though
Eph. hadn’t very much of this world’s
goods at the time. Matters moved along
for a good many years. Eph. Blaine sold
the farm his father-in-law had given him
and the proceeds soon disappeared. Old
man Gillespie still carried on in his queer
ways until finally the sons and soas-in
law petitioned court lor a lunacy com
mission in his behalf, claiming the old
gentleman was mentally incapable of
taking care of his estate. The question
came up before court for a hearing, but
old Neal Gillespie declined to have any
attorney and proceeded to conduct his
case himself. Ephraim Blaiue, his son
in-law, was the erst witness called. He
went exhaustively into the causes which
led the family to take the step they had;
told about his father-in-law’s crazy ways,
and was then turned over to the alleged
lunatic for cross-examination.
“You are my son-in-law, Eph, I be
lieve?”
“Yes, sir,” responded Jim’s father.
“Did you get any dowry with my daugh
ter when vou married her ?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Tell the court what property you had
yourself when you were married ”
The witness objected on the ground that
it had nothing to do with the case.
“But I’ll show you that it has,” re
sponded Gillespie, and to humor him the
Judge required Blaine to answer the ques
tion.
“Well, I didn’t have anything,” said the
witness, reluctantly.
“Now, tell me what became of the farm
I gave you and my daughter when you
were married ?”
“Ah—well—it has been sold.”
“And where is the money?”
“Ob, it has been spent for household and
other expenses.”
“Got any of it left now ?”
“Not very much.”
“That will do,” said the old man, with a
twinkle in his eye; “I’m done with you for
the present.”
He took up the next witness, another
soc-in-law, and subjected him to the same
excruciating crossfire, and so on to the
end, the result with each relative being
the same.
Ephraim Blaine was called up again.
“Ef>h, I want you to tell the court if
my eetate was diminished any when I
gave a part of it to you and your wife?”
“Yes, sir, it was.”
“Well, since then, have I added to or
kept on diminishing it?”
“I believe you have bought some land
since then.”
“Added several farms, and stocked ’em,
too, haven 11?”
-“Yes, sir ”
“You have sold your farm and got noth
ing left of it ”
“Yes. sir.”
i‘Am you want me declared a lunatic,
and you take the management of my es
tate?’*
“That’s what we want the court to do,
sir.”
The old fellow, tall, gaunt and awk
ward, arose in court, glared around on the
members of the family who had wasted
their substance, and yet wanted him ad
judged a lunatic, and blurted out:
‘•Well, you are all a fine set of ducks to
want to manage my estate after you’ve
squandered all of your own,” and he
strode from the court he use in a towering
rage
The court refused to .adjudge him a
lunatic, and the sons aod sons-in-law
failed to get their Angers ox the old man’s
property.

Y&Lz* Reatitar. ,
The sad ending of the life of young Ed.
Kelley recalls to mind that Capt. P. F.
Alba came as near drowning off the Point
as any man who ever entered those waters
and escaped to tell the tale. In conversa
tion yesterday with Capt. Alba, he told
the reporter his experience in the follow
ing words:
“I was a great swimmer in my youth.
In fact, 1 was expert in all athletic exer
cises, and a swim ot the sort I undertook
at Point Clear was in my mind but an
easy pastime. The waves were rolling
moderately high and I swam out to ride
them. I was having quite an enjoyable
experience when I noticed a little flotilla
of jelly fish, which sped toward me with
great velocity. I knew they have very
little movement of their own and was
surprised that I swept past them so rap
idly. The thought occurred to me that
perhaps I was in a current, and I con
cluded to turn round and swim back to
shore. I turned, but at once saw that it
was of no use, for I made no headway at
all.
“‘Ah,’ said I, ‘you are in for it, old man.
You have got out here, and now you are
going to nave a struggle with the mon
ster.’ At first I did not feel concerned,
but 1 noticed that the clouds were gath
ering and the wind was becoming strong
er, driving the waves up higher; and,
moreover, the night was coming on.
‘Surely I will be picked up,’ I said, as I
swam leisurely along, trying not to exert
myself; ‘but then,’ I thought, ‘1 am not
what I used to be; I am older, and more
fleshy, and out of practice. True, I can
swim a long time, but not very long in
such a sea.’ Then I looked all around
and there was not a boat to the seaward.
I remembered that in such weather boats
usually sought refuge and I could not ex
pect assistance out in the bay; besides, in
these stormy hours sharks approach the
shore In the hope of securing something
from wrecks, etc. ‘I guess lam in for it
this lime,’ I said, and I could hear the
waters rattling the tune in my ears, say
ing, *You have come, you have come. We
have got you at last.’
“I looked back to the shore and oould
see that there was excitement at the hotel.
1 held up my hand every now and then. I
noticed that the people were manning the
boats, but I knew that only one boat, the
large one near the pier, could help me in
chop sea. Unfortunately that boat seemed
to be manned by people of little experience
and I confessed with a sinking heart that
it would not get to me in time.
“I continued to paddle about and once
in a while was forced to gulp in some
water. I felt exhausted, but continued
my tight. I thought if I could reach the
spot where the current and tide met I
might get foothold long enough for the
boat to reach me, anil yet the water ran
so fast I feared I could" not make it. At
i length I sounded for bottom. As I let my
feet sink it seemed as if something grabbed
them and pulled me down, slantwise like
a shot. Down I went and was pulled and
tossed about under the surface. As I went
down I strangled and the most horrible
pain ran up in my nose and concentrated
between my eyes, just as you feel when
water goes the wrong way. I felt as if
some blood vessel would' burst unless I
got air. T was down there many seconds,
and I tell you it was the most painful
moment of my life. Had I lost my head
at that moment I would have drowned
without doubt, but I resolved to let the
heart break rather than open my lungs.
Finally, just as my resolution was giving
away, my head came again above the sur
face and I tilled my lungs with air.
“I was thoroughly worn out. I could
not stretch my arm’s, and could keep up
only-a fluttering of the hands. I hung
slanting in the water and could barely
keep afloat. Just then I heard the sound
of oars in the boat locks, and saw the
brave fellow approaching in his skill’. He
was rowing rapidly and skillfully, and
managed to swing the 6tern of the boat
around just in time for me to lay hold ot
it. I attempted to climb in, but he (Capt.
Jet Howard) said: ‘Don’t try that or you
will swamp me. The boat can hardly keep
alive as it is.’ 1 replied that I could not
hold on long enough to be towed in. 1
a6ked him to tie my wrist to the boat. He
said he could not come to the stern for the
boat would lose its head and Vie swamped,
and we would both drown. Then, said I,
<let in the bow and I will try to climb in.
If I see she is swamping I give you my
word of honor I will let go.’ With that
he got In the bow and cleverly balanced
the boat as I slowly and clumsily crawled
over the stern. I’ fell forward into the
bottom of the boat; he seized the oars and
pulled at Once for the shore. It was a
narrow escape. Capt. Howard says Imu
the only man who has been in that sink
and escaped alive.
It is recorded in this paper that Capt.
Alba, soon after this event, presented
Capt. Howard a handsome gold watch
and chain as a souvenir of his heroic act.
A MINUTE IN A DARK CELL.
The Experience of a Lady Who Recently
Visited Newgate.
Boston Herald.
“And suppose a woman is unbearably
aggravating, kicks and shrieks, etc., I
suppose you put her in a small, dark
cell?” I query. “That we do after all
other measures are tried in vain,” replies
my host. “Well, please put me in one
and go awav for live minutes,” I request
ed. On this I am ltd toward the cell
“most politely,” as is sung in Princess
Ida. “Please, Mr. Jailer, I want anew
sensation; I Want to struggle and be
forced in, and hear the key click In the
lock with a spiteful snap:"else bow can I
write of Uie dark cell realistically?”
On this” proceed to throw my arms
about and behave otherwise in most re
bellious manner. With a quiet smile I am
humored in my little “crank,” and in a
second I find my hands pinioned in a firm
grip, and am pushed into the dark cell,
hearing the key click In the lock, and
over the one wee bar at the top seeing the
last of the light. I know it was silly, but,
overcome with terror, I was speechless
for one brief second, aud it seemed to me
as it an icy cold hand held my temples in
a cruel pressure. Then from my dumb
lips came a piercing shriek, that echoed
through those deserted halls with hoi rible
distinctness. Five minutes! It was
hours before they returned with the lan
terns. “Oh, dear,” I groaned, “will I be
here always? Have they forgotten which
one I am locked in?” I felt that much
longer of solitary confinement would turn
my brain, and I began to gasp for breath.
At last they come; the gleam of light in
creases ; the steps sound more distinctly
on my ear returning to release me. I hear
the jailer’s keys jingle with joyful sound
of freedom from my self-imposed torture,
and the door flies open. I can not speak,
and, womanlike, choke down a sob in
stead.
At this my friend shows me his watch.
“How long have I been there?” I faltered
out. “Exactly one minute,” he replies.
Sure enough, this is true; yet in that one
minute all my life seemed to come up be
fore my mental vision, just as it is said
one’s life comes up to the drowning man
or woman.
I am told that usually one dose of the
dark cell suffices the culprit, and I can
not banish the impression that it is haunt
ed with fiendish spirits. I know it was
silly of me to be so unnerved, I, who have
gone about London’s slums, and know no
tear of living thieves in London’s streets,
met at uncanny hours. Well, call me
sentimental if you like, for, all the same,
I solemnly assure you that I had rather
die on the instant, be shot down in thej
twinkling of an eye, than be locked and’
bolted lot one night in the dark cell at
Newgate, with no more tangible terror
than those born of my terror-stricken ap
prehensions.
It is such a little place, only big enough
to sit in—a little dark closet, fn fact.
Some inhuman mothers shut up their re
fractory children in a dark clothes-press
as a punishment. At all times I believe
the woman who strikes a child to be a hu
man monster, unfit to hold the sacred of
fice of “mother.” After this I shall still
more loathe the woman who shuts her
mischievous little child in a closet for five
minutes, or even a minute, as a punish
ment, lor 1 know now by experience the
awful fright entailed.
Oh, mothers! don’t terrify the little
folks. Perhaps their vexing little pranks
are only an overflow of animal spirits.
Learn to curb your own temper, and be
gentle with the mites. Take the hot, fret
ful little girl in your arms, undo the pina
fore and wee frock, assd, slipping her out
of the burdensome clothes, place her in a
warm bath daintily perfumed, and my
word for it, the nervous little one will
soon be splashing about the water in mer
riment, Don’t forget fhat children have
nerves as well as grown folks, and that
they have their troubles in child land.
But I implore you do not put children in
dark closets as a punishment. If you can’t
control your own nerves, you are unfit to
quiet your children’s nerves, and had best
employ some woman to manage your off
spring who is actuated by more lofty prin
ciples and more well-balanced nature thatf
yourself.
A PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY.
The Marvelous Career of Emma Lyon,
Lady William Hamilton.
Harper'* for July.
Strange as is the flight of the Gunnings'
career, the romance of Emma Lyon’s is a
hundredfold more marvelous. Born of
peasant parents, brought up in the most
abject poverty by a widowed mother, de
prived of the means of the commonest
education, and placed at the age of 14 as
nurserymaid in a physician’s family, this
wonderful girl found the means of in
structing herself at least in the more su
perficial branches of a lady’s education.
She cultivated the rare gift of a musical
voice with which nature had endowed
hef, and after going through the various
vicissitudes of reigning as the petted fa
vorite of two gentlemen ot good position,
consequently shining as the most graceful
of horsewomen upon the valuable mounts
of Sir Harry Featherstonhaugh In the
county of Sussex, figuring in the nude as
an illustration of the beauty of health in
the show of a quack doctor, posing to the
painter Geo. Romnev for ail his most beau
tiful pictures, she positively succeeded in
duping a gentleman of the name of Gre
ville into believing her an innocent little
seamstress, and accepted his offer of edu
cating her to be a worthy companion of
his cultured existence.
And so fitly did he form and tutor that
"afted nature that, as years ripened the
girlish loveliness into womanly grace and
beauty, the native genius of a most re
ceptive mind was developed so well in
everv direction that the laborer’s daugh
ter became a lady able to compete with
the shrewdest intellects in the land. Nor
was her education neglected in the more
special departments of her own musical
and dramatic gifts. One evening Race
lagb—the scene of so many strange con
quests and wonderful pictures—was con
vulsed as it hail perhaps never been be
fore, even in the days of its favorite belle,
the lovely and simple Maria.
Later on, after her separation from Mr.
Greville, Emma Lyon was married to Sir
William Hamilton', His Majesty’s Ambas
sador at Naples. For a short year society
shut its eyes to whispered tales, and wel
comed the fair one to its arms, that her
matchless beauty, her rare dramatic and
musical gifts, her winning and dis
tinguished manners, might draw ad
miring and curious crowds to their assem
blies.
All the belles of the season were eclipsed
for the moment. Lady Cadogan’s pert
prettiness made no way, and even the
brilliant Duchess of Devonshire herself
had, we may fancy, to give way for a short
space to this turbulent rush of wonderful
notoriety; while, as for the fashionable
scandals of the hour, 6uch as the Prince
of Wales’ secret marriage with comely
Mrs. Fitzherbert, they were fairly smoth
ered by this tar more marvelous mesalli
ance. But the new belle was fortunately
not to risk living through her success into
the cold region of bad memories revived
that lay beyond.
Little more than a year after her mar
riage, Lady Hamilton returned to Naples,
laden with the “lamentations of fashion
able life, ’ and with her departure ends
our consideration of her as a society belle.
Of her strange and uncanny friendship
with the Queen of Naples, of her undeni
able influence on the politics of the Nea
politan court, of the services she is sup
posed to have rendered to the English na
tion by her efforts fo assist Lord Nelson’s
enterprises, and last, but not least, of her
romantic amours with the great Admiral
and the almost magical fascination which
she exercised upon him, we have little to
do, for they are matters of history and not
of society talk. A few years after Lord
Nelson’s death Lady Hamilton herself
died at Calais, whither she had fled from
her London creditors.
WITH AHTIFICAL ARTERIES.
Extraordinary Case of Conservative
Surgery at St. Vincent’s Hospital,
New York.
Xew York Letter.
“Such extraordinary progress is now
being made In the science of surgery,”
said Dr. Keene, the House Surgeon of St.
Vincent’s Hospital, to a reporter yester
day, “that although, of course, we shall
never be able to create a human being out
of inanimate matter—a second Franken
stein, as it were—yet we can patch up an
injured or incomplete human organism in
a manner which would have been consid
ered utterly impossible a quarter of a
century ago. Bernard Nieruey was em
ployed two weeks ago in laying the blue
stone flagging on the sidewalk in front of
the newly enlarged dwelling-house at the
northwest corner of Clinton place and
Fifth avenue, when the corner-stone, a
block weighing lour tons, rolled from the
hand-trucks on which it was being pried
along to its place, and, knocking Nierney
down, pinned his legs to the ground. It
was ten minutes before the ponderous
stone could be lifted, and then both legs
were found to he crushed to a jelly. He
was at once brought here in one of our
ambulances.
“It seemed at first that amputation of
both legs would be absolutely necessary
in order to save his life; hut at length we
determined to try an experiment never
before attempted i'n surgery. In both legs
the tibia and fibula, that Is, the shin-bone
and the smaller one behind it, were crushed
into a dozen pieces for a length of about
six inches, extending from just above the
ankles nearly to the knees. We first re
moved all the pieces and splinters of bone,
taking great care, however, to leave the
Eeriosteum, or membrane surrounding the
ones, as far intact as possible. This mem
brane is like the bark of a tree. If it be
removed the tree dies.
“After a long and very delicate opera
tion we extracteaall the bone, but left the
hollow sheath of the periosteum compara
tively intact. Now came the most re
markable part of the case. The main ar
teries in both legs had been crushed and
torn so badly that there was no possibility
of sewing together the pieces, which were
literally in tatters for half the distance
from his ankles to his knees. But unless
these arteries could-be joined together the
feet and ankles would wither away from
lack of the necessary supply of blood. We
therefore entirely removed the injured
portions of these arteries and inserted
very slender tubes of decalcified bone,
about as large as a pipe stem, into the
severed ends, and then bound them fast
with catgut thread, thus affording an un
interrupted flow of blood through the mu
tilated portions of the legs down into the
feet. We next drew together the nerves
and muscles, all of which had been crushed
and severed, and united them with catgut
thread, and then put up both legs in plan
ter. That was two weeks ago. In two
weeks more he will be able to walk on
crutches, and in two months from now
this man, whose legs for a distance of six
inches were crushed as flat as my hand,
the bones in them shivered to splinters
and the arteries, muscles and nerves
either severed or totally destroyed—this
man will walk out of the hospital with
almost as sound a pair of legs and feet as
yours or mine.”
“But will those tubes always remain in
his legs in place of the arteries?”
“Not longer than two months or so.
The ends of the arteries will gradually
grow over the tubes toward each other
until they meet, and by that time the
tubes, being of decalcified bone, and the
catgut threads will have been completely
absorbed.”
Amending the Verdict.
Detroit Free Press.
The train was just entering Erin,
Tenn., when we heard the sharp toot!
toot! toot! of the whistle, and such pas
sengers as looked front the windows saw
an aged African with a bundle over his
shoulder straight ahead on the track.
(The whistle was bldwn and the bell rung,
but he paid no attention, and all of a sud
den the cow-catcher picked him up and
flung him fifty feet to one side. A gang of
men brought the body to the depot, and
among the dozen of us who stopped off at
the village a Coroner's jury was selected.
It seemed a plain enough case. The man
came to his death by being struck by a
locomotive on the E. & N. Road. Such
was the verdict rendered, but no sooner
was it announced than the Coroner ob
served :
“Gentlemen, return and amend your
verdict. You haven’t said anything about
carelessness.”
AYe returned to the room and amended
by adding that the engineer was blameless
in the case, and the Coroner received us
with:
“Very good, gentlemen, as far as it
goes, but the man was probably deaf, and
it would be well to amend tbe’verdict ac
cordingly.”
We went back and amended to make the
victim as deaf as a hitching post, but we
were not through yet.
“You haven’t got the name oi the coun
ty in your report, and you don’t 6ay
whether it was a freight or passenger
train,” observed the Coroner.
We returned to the room for another tus
sle, and were just congratulating our
selves on having everything ship-shape,
when the Coroner put his head in tne door
way and called out:
“Gentlemen, amend your verdict! The
confounded nigger bas’eome to life!”
And when we rushed out to the freight j
house he was sitting up on end and asking
if anybody had seen this bundle. I
THEIR FIRST ICE CREAM.
Mr. McElhone will Hereafter Dread lt
Store than Dynamite.
San Francisco AVtc Letter.
A fortnight since a party of eight gentle
men were seated at one of the tables in the
Palace Hotel dining-room. Their sun
browned faces and the light tweed suits
they wore indicated almost beyond a per
adventure that they were Australians. It
was midday, and the partv had reached
the last course on the lunch bill of fare.
Mutual congratulations were passed
around the table upon the successful way
each and all had got through the repast
without punching the heads of the gentle
man of color who are known to the outside
world as waiters. Small plates of ice
cream were placed before each of the
guests. The first fo taste the frozen deli
cacy was Mr. Ronald Campbell, of the
Wimrnera. He had enough of the Scotch
man left in him to make him cautious, ami
only put in his mouth what he could lift
on the point of his spoon.
“What is it like?” asked his friend,
John McElhone, from Murrimbidge.
“Delicious! The best thing I have tasted
since we left Sydney.”
McElhone’s spoon was filled to the brim
and transferred to his mouth. In an in
stant the Murrimbidge man’s face became
purple, the spoon dropped from his fingers,
he grasped convulsively for his napkin,
upsetting beer bottles, wine-glasses and
playing general bavoc with all the crock
ery in front of him. When lie was able
to stand on his feet he gave a withering
glance at his traveling companion, and j
said;
“Campbell, we are in a foreign land,
surrounded by an inferior race; but that a
crowd of niggers are lookiug on I shouid
have kicked you until you were black in
the face. Than* your stars, my boy, that
you did not play that prank in’a civilized
country.”
In the evening the whole party met at
Collins’, where Campbell “set ’em up.”
When the Kentucky wine had almost re
stored McElhone’s’ mouth and teeth to
their normal condition of warmth, one of
his friends asked, in a whisper, “what he
really thought of ice cream as a dessert?”
He called for another round, and then an
swered good bumoredlv:
“Well, I have always had a horror of
dynamite and nitro-glycerine, but for the
future I shall dread ice cream more than
either.”
Another Poor Man Struck by Fortune.
The man who has a prize in a lottery Is
regarded as the happiest of mortals. At
the last drawing of the Louisiana State
Lottery two Memphis men drew $15,000
each. Mr. B. J. Dorsey, a foreman upon
the levees along the Mississippi, has been
living in humble circumstances at 33
Jackson street. An Avalanche reporter
repaired to the corner of Jackson street,
and inquired where Dorsey lived. Q.
“Y T ou mean the man that drew the lot
tery prize?” A. “Yes.” “He’s moved
awav. He used to live in that little house
over there, but he's goin’ to live in a fine
house in Fort Pickering now.”— Memphis
