A Practice Initiated by George
Law, Whom Queen Victoria Has the
Honor to Resemble.
(Copyrighted 1881.1
New York, Oct. 15.—A man who has
;iu§t returned from London sat in the cafe
of the Brunswick yesterday surrounded by
,everal somnolent, and rather heavy-looking
men who regarded him with more or less in
terest. Finally, one of the group started up
and said suddenly:
"By the way, you have not told us yet
about, the jubilee.”
"There is only one thing about it that was
much interest to me,” said the returned
tourist, “and that was the appearance, of
Queen Victoria.
"Did you see he. f’
“Oh, yes, I had a capital view of her, and
it was the first lime 1 ever had the pleas
ure, although I have lived considerable over
ten years in England off and on. There
was a halt in the procession, mid her car
riage was brought to a stop directly under
the window which I had hired for £2O for
the privilege of looking at the procession.
The Queen was sitting well bark, and look
ing with a snappish and ill-natured air
about her. The carriage started forw’ard
one or two paces, and then stopped again,
and one of the household troopers stepped
tip and spoke a few words in her majesty’s
ear. Her face flushed and tier lips moved
m a fashion that suggested a man who had
just stepped on a tack in the middle of the
night, and who is giving vent to his feel
ings. I could not hear w hat she said, but if
she did not use some rather warm language,
appearances am very far off, and, if the
Queen of England and Empress of India
has not as good a right a> any body else to
an occasional, big, big I don’t know
who has.”
“What did she look like,'”
“She was the living image of George
...
MR. PLYMPTON AND HIS HEELER.
There was an amused smile at this, and
then the men fell to talking carelessly about
George Law and the other New York mil
lionaires who worked so hard to establish in
New' York the English custom of having
plug uglies and bruisers for heelers. Every
body is familiar with the howling British
swell who is accompanied on his nightly
rounds of dissipation and amusement by a
thick-jawed pugilist. Mr. Toots and the
Thicken are immortal, and, for a time, Mr.
George Law bade fair to achieve almost
wuarproniinence. He is the beet and most
amusing type of the American milUonairo,
fer he is utterly destitute of snobbishness
and pretension, and is as rotund, happy, un
assuming and agreeable as though he could
not draw his check for seven figures and
have it honored anywhere in the country.
His round and rather reddish face and his
good-natured and twinkling eyes are fa
miliar everywhere in town. Instead of go
ing in society or taking an interest in big
corporate enterprises, Mr. Law’s inclina
tions invariably run toward members of the
“fancy. ” He would forsake a duke at any
time for a heavy hitter, and for years he
was an inseparable companion of Joe Co
burn and other fistic lights, until one night,
in Mr. Brown’s < !ioph -e-yte, IL'i Joe Cqburn
and the aforesaid “iigb .v aims* and pom
meled their benefactor. Exactly why they
should have slugged Mr. Law has never
been made plain, for they practically sub
>i*ted on his bounty. His enthusiasm iuthe
cause of pugilism was dimmed for a time
by this unkind treatment, but later on he
was seen in his accustomed haunts, and
usually with a man who was famous in the
fistic arena. I don’t know exactly why a
man should should choose a pugilist for his
companion, for, as far as my own experi
ence goes, and I know most of them, they
are about as uninteresting set of black
guards as the world can show. Mr. Sulli
van’s conversational powers would not do
credit, to a cow, and. when I look back over
the list, I find that the only two really in
telligent men that I ever met among prize
lighters were Mike Donovan and Charley
Mitchell. Mitchell is not so intelligent as
he is shrewd, but Donovan has more of the
qualities of a mau than all the rest of them
(•ul together.
MR. Richmond AND ms ri.ci,.
For a time a gushing mid spasmodic sort
of an actor named F.ben Plympton, who
a? usually referred to cruelly as Ebenezer
limpleton, wandered about town with a
Plug. This particular plug was a thick-set,
amiable-looking and thoughtful man. who
bad an immense downy moustache, and, in
deed, a “downy” look generally. His
shoulders were brood, bis chest deep and
his py e autocratic. Wherever Plympton
"cm, the heeler was along. Most of the
t uiie was devoted to scowling in sullen and
tnnje.st.ir disapproval upon his master, and,
though this seemed to depress Mr. Plympton
j' i a time, he finally got so that he could
“ear it with unexampled fortitude. As
! he actor was rather given to fine, not to
S *Y gushing, manners, the contrast between
' he two was rather strong. The radiant and
enthusiastic Plympton would talk for hours
I" his sullen protector without eliciting a
word from him If, at the end of a long
monologue, the heavy weight made an ami
able remark, it seemed to throw the actor
into ecstasies of satisfaction and delight.
A distinguished and popular millionaire—
-1 • M. Richmond—was also struck with this
Peculiar mania last year. He took unto
himself an associate in the person of a
-quarely built, thick-set and ponderous Eng
usu fighter, who had u waggish and felch
'ng way of shaking his head and winking
solemnly at his boats. Riohraond would
hold forth to him in public places in an ora
torical ami forensic way about politics, re
ligion and society, increasing his eloquence
as the night grew late. The plug never
-poke but, at stated intervals, and whenever
there whs a risiug inflection ill the voice of
| his master he would fall into what ap
peared to lie a deadly trance for a minute,
'heu awaken suddenly and wag his head till
the veins in his thick neck turned blue.
Then be would wink at his foot- - which he
usually nursed with both of his brawny
hands upon his nether knee —a bewildering
number of times and fall to chuckling
quietly to himself. All of these manifesta
tions were usually supposed to lie involute
tary tributes of esteem, admiration and af
fection to his master. The assertion that he
was paid a large salary on condition that he
would listen without comment to Rich
mond’s views on life, death, the immortality
of the soul and other trifling subjects was
generally accepted about town.
“MUTTON, YOU KATIOVE JtK EXTREMELY.”
A dainty and delicate little chap who had
for some years displayed a fondness for
leading the german, and a predilection for
the society ot debutantes and unexception
ably correct members of society, surprised
his friends in Fifth avenue generally one
day by parading along with a man who
looked like an outcast and a murderer of
the Bill Sykes variety. The exquisite's
name was Tommy Wilton. He had fallen
into a lot of money, distinguished himself
by lighting cigarettes with $lO hills, and
was for a time quite the sensation of the
town. He was depended upon, therefore,
to produce more or less gossip. And his
debut in public with the heeler had the de
sired effect. The heeler hail some mirac
ulous faculty of keeping his heard about
four days long at ail times. Nobody could
ever tell when he shaved, and it was a deep
mystery how he accomplished the feat of al
ways looking four days gone. His admira
tion for hi# young master was expressed
frequently, and always in the hearing of
Mr. Wilton. The plug would stand off, and
look at him fondly for an extended period,
then close his eye—he had only one—with a
species of canine adoration for a time.
Then ho would open it. look once more at
his owner, and say thickly:
“D’ye see that youngster? Well, he don’t
look very big nor very strong, but he's a
corker fm way back. He’s got a heart in
ter him like an ox.”
Mr. Wilton did not return these compli
ments. He seldom addressed his heeler ex
cept when they were both seated at a table
in some sporting resort, and both very far
gone from the steps of propriety and prohi •
bition. At such times Mr. Wilton would
look at his pugilist with an expression of
pronounced dislike and then say in a de
liberate tone:
“Mutton, you fatigue me extremely.”
The pugilist would look at him with an
air of pain and surprise. There would be
another pause, and then the master would
wonder audibly why he was not dead,
struggle to his feet, and wander off home,
attended to the last by his devoted and
faithful slave.
Pony Moore, the London minstrel, was at
tended during his American visit last month
by his son-in-law, Mitchell, and they made
a very stunning pair of celebrities as far as
appearance went. Mr. Moore always walked
about a foot in front of the pugilist, and
treated him with an air of quiet and lordly
disdain. This Mitchell accepted as the proper
thing as coming from a gentloman of Mr.
Moore’s social position to a common pugil
ist. Exactly what Moore’s social position
was nobody ever quite knew. His gram
mar wns what the boys call “rocky” but his
diamonds were unexceptionable. He had
diamond buttons on his waistcoat, dia
monds on his fingers, and most glorious and
touching sight of all, a real watch and
chain. He snorted and fumed at all times
and all hours about his eminence, and when
it seemed to him that his word was being
doubted he invariably appealed to his heeler
for corroboration, and Mitchell gave it with
whole-souled and deep-lunged fervency. So
that, divested of all its ulterior beauties and
embellishments, the practice of conveying
a pugilist around in public would seem to be
the result of an earnest desire on the part
of the men of wealth to have somebody al
ways at their elbow who will corroborate
their big tales and listen to their favorite
stones.
It is a significant fact, however, that the
two most prominent and successful mana
gersof pugilists, Messrs. Sheedy and Mad
den, have both been driven to the same con
clusion within the past month, and that is
that pugilists are not worth their salt out
side of the prize ring. Mr. Sheody’s opin
ion of John L. Sullivan is breezy, accurate
and interesting, and it fully corresponds in
all essential points with that expressed by
Mr. Madden of his former protege, Jake
Kilrain. Both Kheedv and Madden, by the
wav, are going into the theatrical business.
Sullivan's former manager returns to
America to take out. Roach, the dramatist,
in one of the latter's opening plays, and
Madden will, ill ail probability, manage a
burlesque troupe. And, by the way. It is
a mist ake to underrate the business sagacity
or mental capacity of either one of these
gentlemen, it would be difficult to find a
shrewder pair of speculators in the country
than Pat Sheedy and Bill}' Madden, and
when one realizes that these two names are
more eminent in every household in Ameri -
ca than the names of any two Senators, one
realizes again that this hi a very, very large
country —and perhaps a somewhat peculiar
one. Blakely Hall.
SEX IN EDUCATION.
An Account of Some of the Most
Prominent Female Colleges.
[Copyrighted 1887.]
New York. Oct. 15.—The entering class
at Smith College this fall numbers some
thing more than 120 students, the largest in
the history of the school. At Vassar. in spite
of the recent alxilition of the preparatory
department, there is a numerical gain. Wel
lesley has as many student* as she can readi
ly accommodate, aud the new women’s col
lege nt Bryn Mawr grows fast.
“If Iliad a girl I would send her to col
lege, but I have put my son at work in my
office,” suid a prominent business man,
himself acollege grail uate, the other day.
“Why do you make such a distinction?”
he was asked.
Because a girl needs the best education she
can get in order to earn a living, while a
boy is often as well, sometimes better off
without. A woman physician can get into
practice more easily than a man because
there is at yet so' little competition A
woman teacher must be fit for a position in
the highest grade of school if she isn’t to
starve. A woman stenographer must have
that general information that a man gets
rubbing about the world, but that tlkually
comes to a woman only through books, to
make her intelligent enough to command
good wages. That’s the girl’s side of it; as
to the boy, them are too many men in the
professions, and as a preparation for busi
ness too many years of schooling waste a
young man's time. He might lay the foun
dation of a fortune while he is fooling with
the Greek particle.”
It is a sentiment much like this that is
filling up the girls’ schools. What the girls
are doing in them is the nextquestion. The
only direct comparison between the work of
Ihe colleges for men and women or which I
know, whs furnished me by the present head
of a girls' school, w-ho was for a series of
vears a member of the faculty of Vassar.
Ijqgjc j* not supposed to be the forte of the
feminine mind, but tho same text books in
this mental science being employed at Hal
yard and Vassar. it occurred to the wofes

sor to test the year’s work done in the two
schools. A request for the examination pa
pers used at Harvard, brought him a list of
account of methods used. Conforming his
own examination as closely as possible to
the queries propounded with explanation of
system of marks employed and detailed
the Harvard conditions and using the same
set of questions, he sent a second time for
the results of the men’s struggles with
major promise and minor and put the fig
ures side by side with those which the Vas
sar girls Had obtained. There was little
difference in the highest percentages of the
crack logicians of the two sexes, but the
best mark, well up to tho top of the nine
ties, was obtained by a woman and not by
n man. The classes were approximately
equal in ntunbers, twenty-five and twenty
seven, but the study ranked as an elective
in bot h colleges, and there were only thirty
odd girls to elect where the Harvard class
reached many times that number. If the
difference at the top of the scale
was not a marked one, that at the bottom
w as. The Vassar girls’ average was in the
eighties and lio percentage was less than
seventy, where the Harvard figures ran
down into the fifties, several men failing to
pass at all.
No figures of this sort are good for much,
but there may be some significance in the
averages. Dr. Truman Backus, who occu
pied the chair of English literature for
some years at Vassar, tells me that visiting
professors from men’s colleges always ex
pressed to him surprise at the high average
scholarship of his classes. Their honor men
might be superior to the leading student
among the girls, but without exi-eption they
acknowledge. I to him that they had no classes
from the teacher’s point of view so pleas
ant to teach because the rank list dropped
off so rapidly; they had seldom anything
like the average ability of the Vassar girls
in the class rooms. Heredity might produce
and theoretically ought to produce from
generations of educated men an exception
ally tine mind in the brilliant male students
which a woman without that background
could not equal, but the generality of gir I
students would do better than the rank and
file of men.
Ihe coeducational schools offer the best
chance for collection of facts as to the rel
ative scholarship of boys aud girls or young
men and women under the same conditions,
and candor compels the admission that the
facts are sometimes contradictory. The
principal of a widely known preparatory
school, the Adelphi Academy, of Brooklyn,
tells me that the only fault he has to And
with co-education is that it discourages
boys, girls excel them so decidedly. His
best students year after year, until the suc
cession of valedictorians becomes monoton
ous, are girls. This is a city school. In the
country district, at least in the East, a con
trary tale is often told. St. Lawrence Uni
versity in northern New York, is one of
our smaller colleges supported largely by a
farming population, tt enjoys the distinc
tion of being almost the cheapest school in
the East in which an education may he had
and lias graduated some of the sturdiest
men in the State. It has never made any
distinction against women students, but
their general scholarship has been consider
ably Wow the level of the men. It has
had bright girls within its walls, hut a half
dozen years ago when I had personal knowl
edge of it, it was the rarest of novelties
that t he brightest student in any class should
be a girl.
In the district schools and village acade
mies in the rural districts of the Middle
and Western States the best students are
apt to be of the supposed sterner sex. The
further one’s investigations are carried into
the backwoods the more marked does this
disparity become. On the other hand, in
the cities and suburban villages where bet
ter educational advantage*, are supposed to
be offered, the rule is as I have stated it
above: the girls are ahead. This may be,
because the girls in the country districts
have more engrossing domestic cares to tire
their minds and bodies, it may be because
the boys of the school, and the young men
of the academy apply themselves with
greater zeal to their tasks than the city boys
whose minds are bent on play, and it may
be, and probably is, due to these and a va
riety of other causes, which it might inter
est the curious to investigate.
I have known a young man of 21, em
ployed by a farmer to “do chores,” who
went to school and stood up with the 5-year
olds in the ABC class. His generous em
ployer put a stop to his schooling after a
few weeks, during which he made famous
progress. The man was in the habit of get
ting up of unheard of hours in the morning
to do his work, so that he could go to school,
and it wasted oil for tho lantern, the farmer
said! I have never heard of the student
since, but have a happy conviction that he
must have succeeded finally in learning to
read. So much resolution could hardly be
balked for a lifetime. It is this spirit that
sometimes makes famous students of rough
country lads; nothing akin to it is found in
the city except at the evening schools, ami
not often there. The difficulty about light
before kerosene grew so absurdlycheap was
sometimes surmounted by up country lads
by the use of pitch pine knots. I have
known one boy who was taken out of the
village academy to attend a "sugar, bush,”
who more than kept up with his classes by
the light, of the fire with v .rich he boiled
his maple syrup. The country girl some
times has this stamina, but oftener not.
But the city girl is healthier than her
brother when slffi gives iierself a chance to
be so, and she has a better brain. She is
probably less frivolous, if such generaliza
tions are ever safe, and it is she and not
the cigarette smoking sex who oftener
shows the pine knot spirit of the country
lad.
The larger educational colleges give their
girls students good names. Prof. VVincbell,
the geologist, of Michigan University, who
was a sturdy friend of co-education before
it had become generally acceptable in that
school, writes that the attainments of women
are generally above those of men, “though
many men equal them.” President Warren,
of Boston University,whore no more distinc
tion is made between thesexesthan between
residents of tho blast and West, tells me
that the records of the best students among
the men and women are about the same,
but that the women usually average better.
Columbia College had occasion, a year or
two ago, to introduce a more difficult
text-book in astronomy than the one which
had been in use because the one womau, a
special student, who had been allowed to
pursue that study, used the harder book.
At Syracuse and Cornell the women ask no
favors, in the South (hey are reported to
bo outstripping the men in general educa
tion. Take it ail in all the balance of fact
and opinion inclines to the side that, as cer
tainly as education is going on, as tho girls’
colleges are growing, and more of the men’s
colleges are opening their doors, so certainly
the girls are making and are going to make
good use of their chances.

Claret at Two Cents a Bottle.
From the st. James' Gazette.
Vice Consul War-burton, of Rochelle,
suggest* the establishment of „ new in
dustry in England—the manufacture,
namely, of French claret. The process as
carried on in his district is both simple and
inexpensive. Raisins nnd currants are
stec|>ed in water at 11 temperature of about
70 until fermentation takes place, a little
red Spanish wine is then added to give
color, and tho mixture is ready for use. It
has the further advantage that it is pleasant
to the taste and is considered perfectly
wholesome. The cost of production is about
Id. i*r bottle, and there are several fac
tories turning out hundreds of gallons
daily. Perhaps, though, when the liquid is
sent to England and sold as claret at 15s. a
dozen the consumer has a right to Complain
tliat the middleman's profit is unnecessarily
large. It is/air, however, to admit that for
the benefit of the English public the manu
facturer goo* to the expense of fortifying
his wine, which naturally has an alcoholic,

costing him no lees than 4d. per bottle. Mr.
