AMERICANS IN LONDON. 6omo Distinguished People Who Cole- Prated the Fourth of July Abroad. A London letter to the Philadelphia Press fays: There has never been a more remark assemblage of American lions of all ti/.i'.s and both sexes than were brought, to gether by Mr. Henry Gilliq, of the Amari ,,n Exchange, to celebrate Independence Pay ii. a party at Grcsvenor gallery. For 3)>rc the masterpieces of art that hang upon walls of hall end ante-room were for gotten. while the people who represented every State and city in the Union thronged about, the more distinguished of ilieir countrymen. The great spee- A u i a r featuro of the evening, as they say it the circus, was the appearance on the door, arm in arm, of Mrs. John Bigelow ind Buffalo Bill. A more extraordinary "ouple could hardly be imagined. The weather was worthy of the day in its in ‘ol iso warmth, and the long black locks falling over the shoulders of Mr. Cody so glistened with that appropriate article of toilet, bear’s grease, that the scalp would have slipped through his fingers of the most iesigning of savages, while Mrs. Bigelow’s .] a sio brow and diamonds struggled to utshine each other. Col. Cody is tall and slender, the lady tliort, and, as Pickwick rudely said to Mr. Tapper, “fat” Again Mr. Cody wore his hair in graceful ringlets, Mrs. Bigelow hers In a jaunty bang, and while the famous scout was “killing” in high neck and long sleeves, the famous society woman was ■stunning” in a neck so low that my ink turns red at the mention of it. As to sleeves there was no suggestion. Buffalo Bill ivalked erect, severely serene. Mrs. Bige low wore a perpetual smile. The latter, by the way, came to England on the steamer chartered for Buffalo Bill and his troupe, and acted after her arrival as a society ■whip” for him. Now it has come to this, that some English people present inquired who that “stout lady” was to whom Col. Cody was so kind. MR. BLAINE AND MRS. POTTER. There are many clever and distinguished Americans in London now, and not a few of them were present, but the Hon. Col. Cody outshone them a'l as a star, until he was suddenly extinguished by the arrival of Mr. Blaine. Then “the subsequent proceedings interested him no more,” and he left. IV hen the famous statesman appeared in the supper room with Mrs. Janies Brown Potter on his arm there was a sen sation. I never thought Mrs. Potter beau tiful tiefore, but on this occasion she was radiant. Her face sparkled with animation, and a gown of crimson silk and coronet of Hashing jewels became her admirably. At once a background and a foil the figure of Mr. Blaine rose beside the fair Southerner. Stalwart and erect, his keen dark eyes sweeping over the assemblage, and with a voice clear and resonant, ho responded to the toast of “The Bay Wo Celebrate.” The cable has given you that perfect little re sponse, but neither word of pen or wire rould describe its effect nor the apprecia tion of the exquisite tact which made it felicitous to every American present. HENRY IRVING AND ELLEN TERRY. Among the most interested of Mr. Blaine's listeners was Henry Irving, who looked pale, thin and scholarly and wore an “lie never-smiled-again” kind of an expression. With him was Ellen Terry, as fascinating off as on the stage. You know how tall and graceful she is. Well, now she has grown plump, too. Her arms aro round and pink, and her neck has foresworn hol lows. I hope Heaven will preserve her from too much flesh. At present she is just right. Sarah Bernhardt, you will remember, is fond of wearing her hair in *w!iat is called the “bushy bramble” fashion. Miss Terry has also taken to it with success. Her yellow hair stands out around her face as if somebody had been raising it. Nevertheless, it, is becoming and picturesque, though I wouldnt advise any ordinary woman to at tempt it. Miss Terry wore a black velvet gown, scooped out at the neck, with a ragged-looking white ruff inside. The gown was quite ltxwe, hung straight down iu front, and had Watteau plaits at the back. What a woman she is! Sho made a few remarks to me about some people present, and while she talked it was with every muscle of her face, even her ears seemed expressive aud her eyelashes equal to the nine parts of speech." I never saw such a play off eatures in anyone else. The funniest part of it all is that it makes everything she says seem wise, witty and wonderful. Afterward one is astonished to find that nothing was said worth remembering. Mr. Toole, the comedian, with rosy cheeks and black wig, looking as deliciously funny as he is, was there. I saw him talk ing to Antoinette Sterling, who remem bered her American birth on this occasion. Mme. Sterling is the Mrs. Stonda! of the concert stage. She is the favorite ballad singer of England, lives in a palace near Hyde Park, bought from her own earnings, and lias a remarkably happy domestic record. She is a very large woman, vftry stout, and with squarely-cut features and R massive head. She wears her hair combed back from her face, and braided into a thick loop bow on the neck. Her lace would be plain but for the expression of intelligence and goodness which is stamped upon it. Madatne Sterling wore a pale-blue cress with a train brocaded over with great flowers. Nearly as largo hut not quite as stout is Olive Logan, in black, with plenty “I clack lace, that set off a good complexion, line blue eyes and soft gray hair. ESMERALDA IN LONDON. The most interesting character in the r- "!n, to many people, -.mis Mrs. Frances Hodgson Buniett, who is spending the sum mer in London. She is a woman of medium height, and has a wonderfully shaped head, compact, clean in outline, and beautifully pmsed on a round while neck, sloping into shoulders that you seldom soo except on an English woman. Mrs. Burnett has had her hair cut off, and it clings closely to her head in little waves of gold. Her brow is low and broad and her nose perfectly straight, terminat ing m well-curved nostrils. She has a deter mined chin and a firm mouth. I wasstruck iy the fact that with two other exceptions sue was t he only woman present who made ■" Use of cosmetics, and she did not appear I'nJe, though she wore a tight fitting black |j" Wn p ’it low and without ornaments of any , pi's. Burnett told me that “Littio Lord rauntleroy” (her youngest boy) and brother found tho fourth of July in London very dull and were exceedingly ■‘i"glisted to discover that their little ' • a l:; and the servants did not know tho mi ailing ~f the day.

New York, July 23.—Throughout the trial of Jacob Sharp the warden of the jail furnished to the reporters daily bulletins, tolling how dreadfully ill the old man was during the night, how he was unable to eat breakfast and how it seemed doubtful if the prisoner would bo able to got to court. After the con viction Sharp’s condition was re ported to le precarious; he was liable to drop dead at any moment. IXis weak and broken appearance was graphically described In the papers, and reporters were detailed to bang around the jail to get the iii-st news in the event of his sudden death. Ilis law 3'ers feared that he would not be able to en dure the snook of being sentenced, and they declared that ho would die immediately if sent to prison. Everybody was asked to pity the sorrows of a poor old man, who had done nothing hut steal a million ortwoand buy a board of Aldermen. Judge Barrett was urged to have mercy on this interesting invalid and impose only a fine, so that he might go home and die in the bosom of his family. Jacob was so weak that he had to lie carried into court to receive sentence, and he could scarcely raise his head from his breast. He could not stand while sen tence was being pronounced, but when the Judge gave him only four years and a fine that is less than the fee of one of his law yers, old Jacob Sharp could not wholly con ceal his satisfaction at the success of his plan. There was a sudden recovery of ani mation for an instant and a gleam of tri umph in his eyes. Then ho recollected, and sunk once more into a semi-stupor. He was taken down to the Sheriff’s office to wait while the place of detention, pending the transfer to Sing Sing, should be selected. The reportei-s were not admitted, but were kept waiting outside for official news. The official news given out was that the long stay in the Sheriff's office was caused by Mr. Sharp’s sudden and alarming illness. That report was given out, as all the re ports about the boodler’s deplorable condi tion had been, by his legal custodians and his lawyers. It was simply and absolutely false. One man connected with the press had quietly w alked into the Sheriff’s office and taken nis seat in a corner where nobody paid fmy attention to him. He asked no questions, did not make himself conspicuous, and he closely observed everything that oc curred. He saw' Jacob Sharp’s miraculous recovery from his semi-stupor and dejection. He saw this feeble old man talk in a very animated and healthy manner to his coun sel for half an hour at a stretch without fa tigue. He saw' the officers who had charge of the prisoner go to him for instruc tions and listen in a deferential manner to what he said. Their attitude toward Sharp w'as singularly similar to the attitude of servant toward an employer. There was nothing in their manner to indicate that they wore turnkeys and he a prisoner. The Sheriff w as in doubt whether he had a right to send Sharp back to comfortable quarters in Ludlow Street Jail, or if Sharp should be sent to the Tombs like any other crimi nal. He said he would take legal advice on the matter. He consulted with Sharp’s lawyers and then retired to his inner office. The legal advice must have come by inspi ration? for no lawyer was summoned to that inner office. When the Sheriff came out he was satisfied that ho had p< over to return the prisoner to comfortable quarters. Then the old man became feeble again and was lifted into a carriage. Reports of his pre carious condition continue to reach the pa pers from the jail, because the sympathy dodge may have to be worked again if Sharp’s lawyers succeed in their appeal. Sharp is not a well man, but he is not half as sick as he is represented. It would be in teresting to know how' much it costs the great boodler to be on the brink of dissolu tion every morning when the reporters call for news. A. R. Kelly. DORSHEIMER’S DUEL. The Practical Joke Played on the New York Politician. Washington Special to Indianapolis Journal. A number of politicians were sitting in one of the hotel lobbies talking politics and tell ing stories, when it came to the turn of a Federal official from New York to relate his recollections of public men. It happened that a copy of the New York Star lay on the tabic liefore him, and that fact reminded him of Mr. Dorsheimer. "Some years ago,” he said, “Dorsheimer and Walter Church were very intimate friends. Some of the boys put up a job on the former for the purpose of breaking up the cordiality. Church was induced to pick a quarrel with the Lieutenant Governor, and said something which was regarded by all the others as an unpardonable insult. We all urged Dorsheimer to resent the insult in the only manner open to a gentleman, and told him that he must send a challenge to Church. He was very reluctant to do this, but when assured that Church was a coward, and that he would certainly crawl in the dust, the valiant Dorsheimer sent the challenge. His surprise was groat indeed when it was promptly accepted. He was ‘in a hole’ and was exceedingly anxious to do the crawling himself. He hunted up his friends who lmu gotten him into the scrape, and asked what in the name of all that was good he was to do. ‘Church,’ he said, ‘has accepted my challenge and has selected rifles as the weapons. I never fired a rifle in my life, and could not hit the side of a cow nt toil paces. ’ He was told that there was no wav in which he could retreat with honor, ana that tho onlv thing remaining for him was to practice constantly until the hour of meeting and then face his enemy boldly. He begged us all to find some way out of the serape for him, but we assured him that that would he im possible, and that ho must tight. He there fore began practicing at once, and burned nearly half a hundred-weight of powder lie fore the day set for the meeting. At last the day arrived, and the combatants proceeded to the field of honor. There was quite a large party of spectators, including the two seconds and the necessary surgeons, all of whom were in the secret except Mr. Dorsheimer. That gentleman was so nervous at the thought of taking human life that he trembled fright fully When Church saw the rifio in the bands of the Governor, sawing the air like the walking beam of an engine, ho burst out laughing. That was the first intimation that Doi-sheimer hail that the proceedings were a pul-up job. He threw down his gun, and rushing over to Church si-iwsl him by the hand. He seemed to bo delighted to shake that MVh but he lmd nothing to say to any of the others, and I don't think that lie has really forgiven one of tho party to this day. f Rough on Rats,” Clears out rats, mice, roaches, flies, ants, bedbugs, beetles, insects, skunks, jack rab bits, sparrow iphers. 100.
