mre old wine, lie has gone to heaven sure. ”
The toast was drunk silentlv, but with ein
liressment. The Madeira did not hold out
long. “Jack.” said Magruder, “in the left
hand corner of the big trunk you will find a
liottle of port wine as old as the father of his
country. Are you sober enongh not to shake
it lip ?”
“Avast, there, shipmate,” answered Jack;
“I am os sober as the old Chief
Justice whoso health we have just
druuk. ”
The old port wine was produced. “Now
for my toast,” said happy Jack, with mock
solemnity.
The hotel goblets were filled. It was too
early in the morning fQr wine glasses.
“Here’s to the Father of his Country. When
he lived and reigned over us we had one flag
and one country. May that happy day dawn
again!’’
“Dang my eves,” said Magruder, making
a wry face. “I’m hardly reconstructed
enough for that toast, but I’ll go you.” And
as the wine went down the spirit of cama
raderie went up. Before daylight the case
of “samples” had disappeared as to its con
tents, horse, foot and dragoon, aad the two
brave soldiers were sound asleep in one bed,
fighting only in dreams over again the days
ot the blockade at Galveston and the scenes
of the ever memorable battle of Chantilly.
In vain the chambermaid knocked at No.
136 second floor, of the St. Nicholas. The
soldiers snored. At about 4p. m. the pangs
of hunger aroused the sleeping braves.
They arose and looked sadly at the empty
sample case.
“What shall we do now?” said Magruder
sadly.
“Do? Damme,” said the quick-witted
Jack, “order brandy and soda for two, and
we will go up to the Shakespeare Clul—
they dine at s—No. 11 West Twenty-sixth
street, it’s off Broadway. We will dine with
old Charley Ransom, and Maj. Crump will
give us a stake.”
“Your wit ambles well,” said Magruder.
“And Jack, old boy! it is a comfort to me
to know that you will never starve unless
the government retires the circulating me
dium.”
“You’ve hit the centre,” replied Jack.
In those earjy post-bellum days a soldier
who ranked with Wharton or Magruder, or
with any of the boys, who by a fine free
masonry ministered to eash other’s wants
from Maine to Texas, did not lack for funds
or friends in the city of New York.
After dinner, irrigated with liberal liba
tiohs of Poinery Sec, the two ex-soldiers
began to feel their “oats.” Maj. Crump did
not desitate to advance Col. Wharton SIOO
and before 11 p. m. the happy soldiers had
won at the faro table SSOO between them by
a lucky “coll.” The next day the sample case
was replenished at another wine house.
Magruder departed for business and the
South and Jack Wharton for his favorite
Slot in Washington. They never met again.
en. Magruder died soon after and Whar
ton only lived till the second year of Presi
dent Arthur.
AN EXPERIENCE IN NEW ORLEANS.
The best story Jack told was of his actual
experience in New Orleans, a month after
Lee’s army disbanded. He had an uncle
who resided there, and when he saw Jack’s
shabby gray uniform he at once and with
some sevevity said:
“Jack Wharton, if you mean to stay
around New Orleans you must dress better
than that.” Col. Jack replied with dignity
that “a busted Confederate like myself is
lucky to have anything on at all.”
The uncle handed out a SSO bill, telling
him to buy anew rig. Jack left hig relative
at once. Right well the United States Mar
ehall (later on) knew the possibilities of a
SSO note in the city of New Orleans. Jack
hied himself to the St. Charles, still histori
cal and gloomy, with its lofty columns, a
paradise for “sports,” as it was in the days
of Henry Clay, “the mill boy of j;he slashes.”
Jack Hamilton, of Texas, slapped him on
the back at the bar in his own muscular
fashion and said to Col. Jack, “let’s
liquor,”
“Am agreeable,” said Jack, now alive for
“business.” Gov. Hamilton informed him
that a couple of “professionals” were up
stairs looking for victims. Jack remem
bered Gen. Forrest when by dint of praying
hard and the presence of a $5 bill the cav
alry general had a hatful of money in
Memphis and informed Gov. Hamilton he
would take a hand as far as SSO would go.
Up stairs they went to the fourth floor of
the St. Charles. Jack Wharton shivered a
little, even when he told me the story, at the
recollection of the two professionals, armed
to the teeth, sitting before a pine table, on
which stood a demijohn of old Gibson aud a
pack of “keerds.” Col. Jack took his place
opposite Gov. Hamilton, first laying his re
volver beside him with the quiet remark:
“This is to be a gentleman’s game, I sup-
Sxse?” to which the two gamblers assented.
ut lam wrong in point of time, for the
demijohn was tested before the revolver was
produced, for, as Senator Garrett Davis once
said, “whisky was the vernacular drink of
Kentucky and Louisiana.”
all-night poker.
The game went on with varying fortune
till toward morning and Jack struck a bob-'
tail flush on the second deal and uis “pile”
rose to SSOO. In telling his story he said his
hair rose as the jack pot did. The demijohn
was, toward morning, beginning to look, as
Jack expressed it “like the blue point of an
almost forlorn hope.” Jack Hamilton was
out of luck, but Wnartoasaid he could have
“won the staff's out of the sky,” so marvel
ous yfas his own luck.
The jack-pot slowly ascended till there
was $4,000 on the table. Wharton was a
man “four-square to every wind that
bi0.,0," but the professionals began to sus
pect him as ho dashed down four aces and
raked m the “pot.” He told me that he
would never have got out alive with his
“boodle” but for the fact that Jack Hamilton,
once Governor of Texas, was a terror to the
other two, and they did not, in his presence,
dare to resort to violence. Luck never
wavered, but fortune smiled on poor Juek,
who was battling for life and anew SSO
suit. The demijohn gave out at the gray of
dawn.
Jack was in an agony to get out alive.
His boots were full of money: so was the
rim ol' his hat, the inside pockets of his coat
and vest, aud his Confederate suit was stuff
ed with SIOO bills in every comer. Much to
Jack’s relief his uncle had sent his son, a
boy of 12, to hunt Jack and to tell him liis
sister was sick. Jack bolted from the pro
fessionals, leaving Jaek Hamilton to bear
the brunt of his “skip,” simply saying his
sister was dying. He followed his little
cousin home, first astonishing the boy by
presenting him with a SIOO bill to “buy
candy with.”
Jack Wharton always said his uncle hail
Quaker blood in him, and he expected to lie
sat down on at the breakfast table, whither
he wended his way with much trepidation of
spirit.
Jaek may tell the rest of the story just as
It occurred:
“I wa# reasonably sober. I walked with
great deliberation to the side of the table
where I usually sat. The good old man
looked at me sternly, and said; ‘Jack, I fear
you have gambled away my SSO. Where’s
your new clothes?’
“I was silent a moment. I kicked off my
big cavalry boots and out flew $2,000 in one
hundred dollar bills. I dived into my vest
pockets; out flew another SI,OOO. I shook
my hat, and turned down the inside lining
and SII,OOO fell on the bread plate. I took
one look at my good old uncle. He.loved
the sinner, but he hated the sin, and as I
piled the money—in all SII,OOO-two tears
slowly courett dnown his cljeoks ks he left
the table. He never upbraided mf) and I
am free to say that never did that much
money do He,re good in New Orleans than
that lucky SII,OOO. But it was my last gre
game of poker.”
The war softened Jack U hnrton ;< spirit.
His chango of politics came near involving
him in half a dozen duels, but his ready an
swer was:
“Boys, I saw enough bloodshed for four
years—no more fighting for me.” and he
kept his word. The bravest are the tender-

FASHIONS OF NOTE WRITING
Interesting Points About an Interesting
Subject.
I shall be glad to say a few words about a
certain art of evqry day—that of note
writing—which, in these touch-and-go times
seems to be more neglected than is necessary.
True, it is not entirely overlooked in the
schools where our young people undergo
whati s popularly known as the “finishing
process;” witness their painstaking epistles,
accepting or rejecting the Banner ide feasts
of Mesdames Smith and Jones, produced at
stated intervals for revision by the teachers.
But how few carry into society the ability
to acquit themselves to wal'd their corres
pondents, after the fashion of the poet’s fail
one:
“I know it, for she told me so
ln phrase devinely molded.
She writes a charming hand, and oh!
How sweetly all her notes are folded!”
One is often surprised to receive from
people “quick at verbal point and parry,”
ready of wit in general conversation, notes
of mere conventionality so heavily handled
as to suggest a strain of unwonted mental
labor. Others treat with regard the trifling
exactions of contemporaneous etiquette,
nothing in themselves, but inevitably pro
ducing in the mind of the recipient a feeling
of wonderment, tempered with compassion.
Some are too familiar, some too stiff, almost
all are labored and self-concious. In fact,
notes, like handshakes, are sad betrayers of
an imperfectly developed, social organiza
tion.
An affectation that cannot be too strongly
reprehended is that in vogue among some
young ladies of writing horizontally across
the first page, vertically upon the second
and so on to the end. This maddening
practice, sometimes pursued through several
sheets in a fine slanting hand, is infallible
in reducing the correspond,ent to bewilder
ment if nothing worse. It is a generally re
ceived impression in America that good
form exacts writing alternately on the first
and third pages of a sheet of note paper, and
in the days of thin paper there would seem
Jo be some reason for the practice. But
among our social dictators, by whose laws
American society lives and moves and has
its being—the English upper classes —this is
.condemned as suggesting business habits
adopted with a view to having copies made
by letter press. The latest faa is to write
on the first and second pages only, repeating
the last word at the end of the first page in
imitation of our forefathers’ and signing, no
matter what your string of baptismal ap
pellations (this more particularly if you are
a woman) by a single initial preceding your
surname. As for instance:
Believe me, my dear Mrs. Vere de Vere, yours
faithfully, J. Jones.
Monday, Ninetieth street.
To throw all posible light upon the ultra
fashionable billet of the day, I might further
say that Miss J. Jones writes upon a sheet of
medium sized parchment paper,or Irish linen
of a fair and creamy surface, folded once,
to fit a square envelope, 1 and inscribed with
a quill pen, causing her ehirography
strongly to resemble the early efforts of a
schoolboy with a sharpened stick dipped in
the ink bottle. Elaborate monograms have
well-nigh passed away. The bouse address,
in gold, silver, lavender, yellow or pale
blue, with sealing wax to match, is the
only coquetry now left to adorn the femin
ine epistle. Scent is an abomination to the
nostrils of so many people that it were wise
to leave the sachet in the shop. Or, if an
odor is desired, left it be of faintest orris,
whispering of violets. As to the brief
nightmares of scarlet paper and other
monsters of the kind, they have been
relegated to the oblivion they deservo.
Ragged edge paper copies into the house
with the spring announcements of milliners
and tailor Vanished are violet inks,
pretty and fluent as they were. Simplicity
rules, at which, assuredly, no one will carp.
So much for the outer shell of the notes of
good society. As to its contents, they vary
like the spirits of mankind in their covering
of flesh. But there are certain little ways
of wording, say a dinner invitation, that
harply changes, save for the names, dates
and addresses. If the dinner to be given is
not one of ceremony (which in New York
means a banquet to which guests are bidden
three weeks in advance) tne hostess most
often writes in the first person to her dear
Mrs. Tompkins, hoping tnat “you and Mr.
Tompkins will give us the pleasure of vour
company at dinner on Tuesday, the 25th, at
half after 7 o’clock,” and signed herself
‘Yours cordially,’ M. Smith.”
To which Mrs. Tompkins, as promptly as
may be, after due consulation with her
leige, responds, perhaps, as follows:
“Dear Mrs. Smith,” if on easy terms of friend
ship, otherwise “My Depr Mrs.-Smith:”
Hr. Tompkins and I have great pleasure in
accepting your kind invitation to dinner on
Tuesday, the 25th, at halt after 7 o’clock.
Yours cordially, L. Tompkins.
It will be noted by the observer that both
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Tompkins writ* their
dates in full, and that Mrs. Tompkins takes
.care to repeat the date and hour of the pro
posed festivity in order that no misunder
standing may arise.
Should, on the other hand, one apocryphal
Mrs. Tompkins chance to be a dweller in
state on the avenue of the elect or on one of
the equally favored streets leading there
unto, and accustomed to regale her circle
by a series of prandial entertainments,
checking one set after another from her list
with systematic delilieration at intervals of
a week throughout the season, she will
natumllyliave upon her writing table a box
of largesquare cards engraved as follows,
leaving blanks for the insertion of names
and dates:
Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins request the pleasure of
Mr. and Mrs. Smith's company at dinner on
Tuesday. Jan. 25, at 8 o’clock.
606 Fifth avenue.
It sometimes happens that in borrowing
fashions from London we hit upon one so
eminently sensible that there can be no
question of the wisdom of adopting it: such
is the now universal habit, of mailing invita
tions and notes upon the thousand and one
pleasant puerilities of social life in a busy
city. A few years ago jicople who were not
surprised by Mrs. Nickelby’s humorous idea
of impressing into service as a genteel letter
carrier an omnibus driver with a glazed hat
and a wart on his nose, who would look
like a gentleman’s servant, where often put
to it to forward speedily and sulely a num
ber of cards at once. District messenger
boys, hailed with rapture ufton their intro
duction, soon proven to be expensive and
unreliable in such a case.
More than one horrified dame has had her
notes and envelopes returned to her by some
passerby who has discovered them cast
away in a secluded nook or convenient drain.
Many another has been compelled to meet
dark looks mid lowering glances from some
acquaintance to whom she has duly for
warded invitations which never reached
their destination; their failures remaining
naturally unexplained. .Such experiences
brought about the use of the convenient
post box at tho corner, into which at first
the entertainer slipped her note of invita
tion, carefully enveloped in a second coven
mg to which tho plebeian postage stamp
was fixed. At lust some leader of society
returned from a sojourn in London during
this season, boldly declaring that she meant
to send all her cards by post, lot who Would
cavil. After that the practice became
general. Even the affected outer cnvelojw
the husk of the choice kernel, was dropped.
Notes of invitation come to-day fairly and
squarely stamped and postmarked, and
everyone breuthes free at the l’ncilty with
which they can be answered and dispowxl of.
Anti the trivial corres|iondenoe nowadays is
no mean part of a woman's daily life, one
thing to Ist systematized and dealt with
briskly. l<wt the tide sweep over her. Each
postal delivery nt one’s door brings a host of
little white-winged messengers of hospitality,
of charity and of petty gossip. An hour
after breakfast devoted to the disposal of
them is an all too small allowance. Reason
the more, therefore? why we should cultivate
facility in shaping our reeponsßs, taking due
care to temper it nffn rettcenar of quantity.

JULIA’S QUEER MARRIAGE.
Extraordinary Experience of an Eng
lish Girl with a French Husband.
Front the Herald Cable.
Paris, May 17. —In the Police Court yes
terday a pretty little English girl named
Julia Rothscliild, 10 years of age, was sen
tenced to fifteen days’ imprisonment for
shooting and wounding her “husband,”
Henri Montane, with a revolver. Montane,
who is a splendid looking fellow, 22 years
old, six feet high, with black eyes and Henry
IV. beard, met Julia at the Alhambra, Lon
don, and fell head over heels in love with
her, and a few days afterward they were
•married at the Register’s Office. The cou
ple came at once to Paris auil _ lived at
Montane's sumptuous mansion. No. 54 Rue
Montaigne. Here the most exciting scenes
took place, which caused consternation in
the entire neighborhood. Montano, who
served in the French merchant marine, is a
man of very eccentric disposition. He had
all the electric bolls in the house removed
and replaced them with revolvers, rifles and
cannon. A complete arsenal was estab
lished on each floor of the mansion. A six
pounder brass cannon lir.od once summoned
the butler; fired twice it called the cook;
three times, the coachman. Five discharges
of the revolver in rapid succession
brought the chamliermuid; seven
shots meant that the chambermaid
should appear with hot water. No candles
were allowed to be blown out, but were to
be extinguished by pistol shots. All the
servants were provided with revolvers, and
from morning till night there were constant
cannonading and revolver shots. On April
20 Montane’s mother, who hail not been in
formed of the marriage, appealed on the
scene and was received with a salute of
twenty-one guns. Mine. Montane replied
by insisting that the marriage was not
binding in France, and that Julia be sent
back to London. Julia and Henri then
quarreled. J\ilia, furious and raging,
aimed her revolver at Henri and fired six
balls at him, wounding him twice, in the
arm and shoulder.
At the trial yesterday the Judge asked the
accused:
“Did yon mean to kill M. Montane?”
Julia, who cannot speak a word of French,
answered, through her inteimreter:
“No. In fact, I did not fire thy revolver
at all, but my husband tried to commit sui
cide and wounded hirpself.”
The concierge of the Montane mansion
was next called. He is an old man, with
grizzly beard, and wore a black velvet rap.
He testified that Julia came running down
stairs after the “accident,” as he called it,
and exclaimed, in broken French:
“Mot pan bourn-bourn! Lui boum-brrum!"
(Meaning that it was not she who had done
the shooting, but her husliand).
But In spite of this testimony the Judge
sentenced Juba to fifteen days’ imprison
ment, at the expiration of which time she is
to be sent back to London. She was re
moved from the court room crying.
