The Royal, or Victoria, Tower at the
southwest angle, is a most stupendous
work. '1 lie royal entrance, beneath it,is
most striking and ellcctive in its orna
mentation. The Central llall is reached
from the principal public entrances, both
through Westminster Hall and Oi I
Palace yard, by St. Stephen’s Hall.
Westminster Hall, here one of the explo
sions is said to have occurred, teems with
historical as-i i tfions of Kings, Queens,
find Princes, and was the scene ot coro
nation banquets for ages. In its new
aspect it is a magnificent entrance to the
House of commons. On the right side of
the halls are the eutranei - to the principal
courts; on the left is the private entr
aotiß of the members of the House
of Commons. At the South end is a
(light of steps leading through St. Steph
en’s poarch and hall to the Central Hull.
From this Central 11 ill a corridor leads
to the lobbies ot the Lords and the Com
mons.
Immediately out of the lobby the
House of Commons opens. The speakers
chair, which was wrecked by the dyna
mite, occupies the North end opposite the
door of the House. This chair was a
very line design. The apartment is
spacious and imposing, but its spacious
ness is apaiently diminished by the gal
leries which surround it. The Southern
gallery, opposite the Speaker’s chair, is
divided into two portions, one for distin
tinguished visitors, the other for the pub
lic fortunate enough to have influence
with the members or officers of the house
These galleries are supported by pillars.
Underneath, toward the wall they are
covered. The Stranger’s Gallery will
not hold more than one hundred persons
when it is crowded. Usually live at a
time are admitted. On Wednesdays and
Saturdays it is usual to admit the public to
view the structure, tickets being obtained
through the Lord Chamberlain.
Edward Station!,the Duke of Bucking
ham, wlh> foil under the displeasure of
Wolsey and ihrearencd the King, had his
trial in Westminster Hall in 1522. In
15.').'}, Anne Boleyucaine to this hall, and
was received by the bishops, abbots and
monks of Westminster wiih much cere
mony. Here the protector Somerset,
“the darling of the people,” was tried in
1551, as were also the Marquis of North
hampton and Heni father of Lady Jane
Grey. In 1571 l’homas Howard, Duke
of Norfolk, received here his death sen
tence and in Tom;: - y, 1600,Guy Fawkes
and his fellow oo !8j the Gun
powder Plot were put, on trial in this
hall. Thomas W n w rth, Earl of Staf
ford, in the reign of (diaries, was tried
■here, ami here Ch odes i.. in January,

TOW HR OK LONDON.
The Tower of London,a royal resilience
a court of justice and a prison, is now a
Government store-house an i armory,and
an interesting show place lor visitors.
It is situated at the Eastern extremity of
the city, and separated from the thickly
populated portion ot Loudon by what is
called Tower Hill. It covers about
twelve acres of ground and is surrounded
by a moat which, since 1846, has been
as a garden. On the river side is an
entrance called the Traitor’s Gate,
through which pt Loners of state were
conveyed in boats after their t; i il.
T he most conspicuous part of the series
of buildings enclosed by the moat is the
White Tower, now said to have been
shattered by the dynamiters. William
the Conqueror was the authentic builder
of the structure, which was subsequently
improved upon by Henery 111. Inside
is the Chapel of St. John, the most perfect
specimen of the Norman architecture of
England. Surrounding the White Tow
er is a series of battlements, now used for
Government purposes, flanked by a num
ber of small.ar towers, many of which
are celebrated for the .captives who have
been imprisoned in them. For instance,
in the Well Tower Queen Elizabeth was
immured, m the Devereux Tower Sir
Walter Raleigh.
In the Bloody Tower the two sons of
Edward IV. were murdered, and in
Bowyor’s Tower Clarence is supposed to
have been drowned in a butt of Malmsey
wine. The Beauchamp Tower was
probably built by Henry 111. The
latest occupants of this tower as state
prisoners were Sir Francis Burdett and
the gang of ruffians know as the Cato
street cons pir ato rs.
The Tower is an epitome of English
history. Names fam .us in song and
story are connected with it. In addition
to its original use as u fortress it was the
residence of th** tn march? ot England
down to the \tiai of Elizabeth. Numerous
are the Kings. Queens warriors and
state-men who have not only been im
prisoned. but murdered within its wails.
In addition to the names already men
tioned are those of I.ndy Jane Grev,
Catherine Howard, Ans Boleyn, Lord
William Russell, th ' V otector Somerset,
Sir Thomas M , .re. William Wallace,and
King John ot i it.ee, whose histories
are familiar to all.
In the Wit! ■ Tower, the walls of
which are fouvt.u. feet th; k, is Queen
''Elizabeth's armory.fl fie-l vF.h sens and
relics. Here is the room in which Sir
Walter Raleigh was imprisoned,

but only a few of them are open to the

KIND WORDS FOR THE COUR ANT.
We have received a copy of the pros
pectus of The Caktersville Couraxt,
which will make its appearance about
the 29th of this month, under the pro
prietorship and management of David
W. Curry and Dr. IV. Il Felton, for Airs,
W. 11. Felton.
Mr. Curry is said to be thoroughly
competent to manage the business af
fairs of cite new candidate for popular
favor. Dr. Felton and Airs. Felten are
well known to the people of Georgia.
It is seldom the case that we are called
upon to write the opening career of any
ppper in Georgia possessing in such high
degree, as will the Cofkant, the char
acter and ability so essential to legitimate
success.
These qualities will be universally ac
knowledged throughout the State, and
will attract to it a long list of subscribers.
Wo wish it the success that we are
confident it will abundantly deserve. —
Macon Telegraph.
Wc have received the prospectus of a
new paper called The Couraxt, which
is to be publisned in Cartersvillo weekly.
The managers and proprietors are David
W. Curry and Hon. W. H. Felton, who
acts for Airs. Felton.
The paper will be large sized and ad
mirably* gotten up. It will be specially
devoted to the agricultural, mineral, me
chanical and manufacturing interests of
Cherokee Georgia.
Politically it will be Democratic and
conservative —independent of men or
measures, and solely* regardful of public
interests, as the managers conceive them.
Personalities will be eschewed.
Ale. Curry' is a fine business man, full
of energy* and enterprise. Dr. Felton
and it is accomplished wife are both wri
ters of remarkable power and pungency.
Upon all matters of interest to Georgia,
as well as national affairs, few persons
are better informed. Both have achieved
reputations that are not confined to this
commonwealth, and it is safe to say that
their professional utterances will be
striking and brilliant.
We wish the Couraxt great and last
ing prosperity in the course marked out
by tlie prospectus.— Augusta Chronicle.
The prospectus of The Carters'vili.e
Couraxt, anew paper, to commence on

nificance of such an announcement, or
•iiy, would not vary the Tin of cur
rei ; topics; but sir-. W. H. Felton ap
pears as one of its proprietors and man
agers. This is significant of the po-ition
w hich she is to ®eeupy. She is one of
the most brilliant women of the d.iv —ag-
gressive, possessed ot keen perception, a
varied k tow ledge of men, and the un
written history of the times, the causes,
nee rings and influences that jostle the
ever, tenor of our way. Its promises are

The Cartersville Free Press is no more
and The Cartersville Couraxt will be
issued in its stead. From a neat circular
sent to this office, we learn that Air. Da

of the new enterprise and that Dr. W.
11. Felton and his amiable wife will con
tribute the editorial work. In such ca
pable hands The Couraxt will quickly
win individuality and a rank with the

DANCED TO DEATH.
Lizzie Kaufman,while dancing at a ball
at Workmen’s Hall, in Cincinnati early
Sunday morning, sank to the floor and
died in a few minutes. It is said that
she was employed as a servant girl by
Councilman Lowenstein and had been in
this country but two years, her parents
still live in Germany.
Aliss Kaufman was a good-looking,live
ly young girl, much liked by tlwfee who
knew her, and fond of society. She had
danced from early in the evening until 2
o’clock in the morning, when she said to
the young man with whom she was danc
ing,” I feel faint.” The young man con
ducted iur to a chair. On the way she
fainted and never spoke again. No phy
sician was called. When the patrol-wag
on arrived the girl lay ou the floor, sur
rounded by half a dozen girls who were
rubbing her hands and feet. Her body
was taken to the undertaker. The young
man with whom she was dancing found
another partner and joined the dance,
which went on without further interrup
tion until daylight.

THE TABLES TURNED.
O itonovan Kossa Pistoled by a Young
Englishwoman.
O’ Donovan Rossa wav shot by a woman
Monday evening on Chambers street,
near his office,in New York, and was re
ported to be dead. The shooting took
place at 5:12 o’cloik that afternoon. He
is still alive. He was--in front of the
Stewart building on Chambers street j
when he was approached by a handsome
young lady dressed in plain clothes.
She wore spectacles anti had the appear
ance of an intellectual-looking school
teacher. She drew a five-barrelled re
volver from her dress pocket and leveled
it at him and fired one shot. Rossa
threw hi- hands up above his head and
cried, “I’m shot.” He then fell heavily
to the sidewalk. The woman fired the
remaining bullets in her pistol at the
prostrate man, and calmly and uncon
cernedly walked oil with the smoking
revolver in her hand. She was followed
by ti large crowd, while a still larger
mob surrounded the wounded dynamiter.
City Marshall James AleAuley, in the
absence of a policeman, saw the revolver j
in the woman's hand and arrested her. |
She was conducted to the Twenty-sixth
precinct station house, in the city ball. !
Her imperturable gravity and coolness
of demeanor were remarkable. When
arraigned at the sergeant's desk, McAuloy
handed the revolver, a small calibre live
shooter, to th<' sergeant and said he
found the woman blandishing the
weapon in the street. A citizen who en
tered the polic e station with the prisoner
said site had just shot a man ou Chambers
street. “Do you know the man?” asked
Sergeant Cass, turning to the woman.
“Yes; I shot O’Donovan Ilossa,” said
the prisoner, with a slight English ac
cent. She looked very pretty as she
stood at the bar, and betrayed no excite
ment whatever. She gave her name as
Yseult Dudley.
Rossa, in an ante mortem statement to
the coroner, says that fie was inveigled
into a meeting with the woman who shot
him by a letter professing to be from a
friend of Ireland, who wished to contrib
ute to her cause. He professes to know
nothing about her previous ‘to this oc
currence.
The following is Rossa’s ante mortem
statement:
“On Saturday, January 31, about 4 p*
m., 1 received a letter at my office, No
-12 Chambers street. The message was
in writing and was delivered by a mes
senger boy. The note stated that a lady
wished to see me; that she was interested
in the Irish cause and desired to assist it.
She didn’t care to go to my office and
remain waiting there there until I came.
She onlv would ask for ten minutes of
time. The boy told me the lady was at
the telegraph office in the Stewart build
ing, corner of Broadway and Chambers
street. I went with him and 1 met her.
1 told iter it would be well to go to some
hotel, as the telegraph office was no pla?e
to talk in. We came out and went to
Sweeney’s hotel. We went into the la
dies’ parior, and she said she would be
able to give considerable money if any
thing good could be done. She then
said she would call Alonday, February
2, at 4 o’clock.
To-day she sent another message to
mv office, and I went to the same tele
graph office, and there i met the lady.
She showed me a paper .which 1 was to
sign. She then suggested that we go to
the same place. We walked down Cham
bers street toward Broadway, and we
got a short distance toward Broadway
when the woman stepped back and tired
two or three shots. One of the balls en
tered my back. (Signed)
Jeremiah O’Doxovax Rossa.
Rossa, after being shot, was able to
rise to his feet, and, with the assistance
of a m'ah on each side, he walked to the
Chambers street hospital, about a quarter
of a mile. There it was found that only
one shot had struck him ; that was in the
back, and the builet is lodged in the
muscles about half an inch above the left
shoulder blade. The wound will not
cause him much inconvenience. Rossa
was placed ou. a cot in the same ward' in
which Capt. Phelan lies and within
twenty-live feet of him, who was nearly
cut to piece? in Rossa’s office by Short,
Further questioning by the sergeant at
the police station elicited the statement
that the woman’s name was Yseult Dud
ley, aged 25 years; that she was a nurse
and married, and that she lived at No.
60 Clinton Place. Sin- *.v s asked why
she shot O’Donovan, how long she had
been in America and other questions, to
which she made no answer. After her
“pedigree” had been taken, he was es
corted to a rear room and the crowd
slowly dispersed. As theie were no ac
commodations for prisoners in the city
hall station, Airs. Dudley was removed
to the Oak street station at 7:15 p. m.,
and there placed in a cell. Her entire
demeanor was that of' a rational person,
and a cool-headed one at that.
Shortly after the surgical examination
the coroner was sent fur and Rossa made
his ante, mortem statement. He was then
moved to another ward. Gapt. Phelan,
is still g :d by a
when informed of the shooting, smiled
grimly, but refused to say anything on
the subject. The office of the hospital
was visited by a large number of Rossa’s
friends, all of them determined-looking
men, and their talk boded no good to
Ross i’s enemies.
To a reporter who interviewed him
Rossa expressed the opinion that he was
the victim of a conspiracy by the British
government; that the woman was only
a paid assassin.
Patrick Joyce, Rossa's right hand man,
expressed a similar opinion, accompa
nied with many threats.
Airs. Dudley discarded her glasses and
some of Rossa’s friends assert that they
were merely worn as a disguise. Site
refused to talk to any person.

Two young ladies entered a cigar store,
and one of them said, timidly:
“Haveyou any choice cigars, sir? I
want them for a present.”
“Oh, yes, Aliss,” replied the tobac
; conist, “we have any choice you like
from a cent a piece up.”
“I think I will take some of the one
cent ones, then, if they are choice. I
had no idea that choice cigars were so
! cheap. V n’t Charlie be delighted?”
she said to her companion as they left
, the store. “Poor boy? He is so fond of
a choice cigar, and they will taste all the
better,” added with a little blush,
“for having come from me.”

MR. JONES’ LESSON.
BY Mi LITE W. BAKER.
One early November day there was an
interesting event in the Jones family—
a son and heir was born to them.
The other three children being girls,
of course the joy and rejoicing was great.
Bridget, to be sure, sniffed contemptu
ously and avowed that there was no use
in being tickled because it was a boy, for
boys were “j Ist a tornnnt,” anyhow; but
it was evident thst Bridget was prejudi
ced against juveniles of the other sex.
The nurse, quiet but capable widow
Brown, was duly brought and installed
into position, aud the household ma
eninery went on as smoothly as could be
expected, with the mistress laid aside.
There were plenty of minor discomforts,
of course, but nothing especially serious
for the first week, Mrs. Jones sat up in
the rocking-chair for an hour at a time,
and was already looking forward to a
near resumption of her household duties.
“Aly dear, L've bought a pig.” So said
Mr. Jones, coming in u„T seating him
self comfortably in the arm chair bv the
bedside, just as his wife was dropping
off to her afternoon nap.
“Ah, have you?” was the sleepy re
sponse, with never a thought but that
tiie said pig was alive and running.
“Yes, and a nice little fellow too —
only two hundred pounds, but fat and
solid. Bought it of John Smith, lie
has only killed it to-day, so he won’t
bring it down till to-morrow morning.
“Y'ou don’t mean to say you’ve brought
us a dressed pig to be taken care of now !”
said Airs. Jones, her eyes wide open
now, and cheeks suddenly flushing as
bright as her pink wrapper.
“Why yes, of course, what did you
think I meant? Such a bargain ! that’s
why I bought it. Only nine cents a
pound! tnink of that, and a month hence
it will probably be eleven or twelve.”
“Yes, but a month hence f might be
able to take care of it myself.”
“Never mind that, Bridget can take
care of it as well as not; she lias noth
ing else to do.” Air. Jones, like men in
general, considered the washing, ironing,
cooking, and general housework for a
family of eight as a mere trifle.
“But Fm afraid tiie meat will fill spoil
before cold weather comes,” and Mrs.
Jones glanced apprehensively out of the
window, where the damp sodden earth,
and soft gray clouds spoke of mild
weather.
“I'll risk that; it may not fieeze right
up, but it won’t spoil at this time of
year.”
“I don’t think fresh meat is as good
when it lies awhile before freezing,”
ventured the widow Brown, Lotting the
babe by the stove.
“Never’d know the difference if you
wern’t told, i presume,” persisted the
obstinate Jones. “But I tell you its
such a bargain. I couldn't have bought
it so anywhere else, and in fact, no one
else is killing pork now.”
“Of course not, it isn’t time, observed
his wife drily.
“But lie was obliged to kill now, be
cause he had nothing more to teed it on,”
pu.suef! Jones, not heeding the inter;up
lioii, nor money to buy with. I toll you
the way to buy things to advantage is
to look out for these chances and improve
them.”
“But how will Bridget ever manage to
take care of the meat?” groaned Mrs.
Jones.
“Don't you worry one bit about that,
nv. dear,” and her fond husband patted
her head soothingly. “All you have to
do is to lie lit re and keep quiet and let
me manage, and it will be all right. You
know I always cut up the pork myself,”
“Yes, but that’s only the beginning.
All my share of the work comes after
that.”
“I always salt it, too, and sausage mak
ing is nothing with a machine to cut it,
and a rule for seasoning. lil see to try
ing out the lard beside, so what will there
be!eft for you to worry about?”
“If Bridget bad only I eon with me
through one season before, so she could
have ' learned my ways,” sighed Mrs.
J ones.
“I’ll teach her my ways, and that will
do just as well,” was the jocose reply.
“Now go to sleep, for I interrupted your
nap.” and Air. Jones picked his way out
of the room as softly as though she had
already followed his advice, indulging in
a happy whistle as soon as fairly outside,
which plainly showed his peace of mind.
[ wonder if there was ever a man yet,
even the most humble minded, who did
not have occasional streaks of thinking
that Solomon was a fool compared to
him. Air. Jones was not in general at
all vain of his accomplishments in the
housekeeping line, and had his wife sent
him to cut steak for dinner, he .would
have meekly asked twenty questions or
more in regard to it,with all due acknowl
edgement of his ignorance; but just now
the wise fit was on, and he felt perfectly
competent to properly dispose of his
fresh meat, when he was really as unfit
to do it a 4 his wcek-oid bot'.
“Fenny wise and pound foolish!” re
marked widow Brown as she watched
Air. Jones going dewn the street. “I
shouldn’t wonder if your husband had
occasion to think of that old saying be
fore lie gets through this business, but
never mind, don’t you worry about it.
Lie still and go to sleep; I’ll keep baby
quiet.” So Airs. Brown rocked and
trotted and hush-a-byed softly, and her
I patient turned over towards the wall to
, try to sleep, as vainly as though her e/es
j had been made open, like those of a chi
na (1011. Thoughts of sausage and head
| cheese flitted through her weary brain,
ot the lard to be tried, and brine made
for the hams. There would not be sage
enough for the sausage, and she had not
engaged any anywhere. And where
were" the sausage bags that were left
over from last year, and where should
she tell Bridget to find cloth to make
more? What would that maiden say,
anyhow, at this addition to her already
overflowing cup of house work ? and here
Airs. Jones fell to scheming. “I’ll tell
her,” planned she, “that if she makes
any complaint, probably Airs. Brown
will oversee the business, or assist her.”
Guilty Airs. Jones, tints to think of pre
varicating, when she knew that tiie
widow was so jealous of her rights as
nurse, that any one must be brave who
would ask her to lift a finger in the kitch
en, while Bridget, at the same time, was
so jealous of any interference on tiie part
of the widow, that this course, under
handed though it was, would he tiie very
best one to secure her faithful endeavors.
Mrs. Jones felt quite a sense ot satisfac
tion with this brilliant scheme, but that
did not prevent a raging headache, tin 1
result ot her perplexity and want ot
sleep, and her cheeks were flushed even
more than was becoming.
“I don’t see what makes your head
ache tc-uight,” her husband said v. h ui
became in just before tea, and site told
him of it. “No visitors been in to tlis
tutb you. have they?”
Mrs. Jones sai l “No,” but the widow
m tr. “ A s,
was a visitor the first of the afternoon
who disturbed her by telling her of a pig
to be taken care of to-morrow. I think
that’s just the matter.
“Oh pshaw!” was the impatient reply
“As if I wasn’t doing all I can. Been
down town tills afternoon on purpose to
look for a sau-age-cutter.
“And did you find one?” bluntly
asked ihe widow.
“VVell —no,” was the somewhat hesi
tating reply, it suddenly occurring to
him that there was little occasion for
boasting over itis attempts in that line if
he luj.l spent the afternoon in vain. Truth
to tell, he had spent it in a very leisure
ly way, and only once casually inquired
where lie could find a sausage-cutter.
He was not sorry L.at the tinkle of the
tea-bell just then put a stop to the con
versation.
Bridget came in as usual to sit with
Mrs. Jones and the baby while the oth
ers ate, and Mrs. Jones plunged “tit me
dics res” at once. As she had foreseen,
Bridget’s big mouth flew open in dismay
at the prospect of the additional work,
but her mistress hastened to proffer
widow Brown’s assistance before any
expostulation could come forth. The
mouth contracted visibly as its unsus
pecting owner walked at once into the
trap. “Sure, and she could do it all hed’-
se!f, and would much rather do every
haporUt of it than have that widow round
inteferrin’.” So Airs. Jones felt a sen
sation of partial relief, and devoted tint
rest of the half hour to telling her hand
maiden how she managed the different
parts of a pig. It was sowing seed by
the wayside, as she well knew, and the
probability was small that one in ten
would ever germinate, yet possibly
Bridget’s thick" skull might retain some
hint which would be of service in the
task before her.
What with losing her nap, with her
splitting headache, and the exertions of
her lecture to Bridget, Airs. Jones did not
sleep as well as usual that night. Site
was trying to catch a nap the next morn
ing, a balmy, hazy, Indian summer
morning, suggestive of anything but
keeping fresh meat, when a heavy wagon
stopping before the house brought her
eyes open. She knew, as well as though
she could see it through the closed blinds,
that the pig had come, and iter husband
was oft' down town ! Was there ever a
man at home when you needed him the
most ?
Heavy boots tramped along the veran
da, she felt rather than heard the loud
rap at the kitchen door, and the confab
with Bridget, and directly that maiden
opened Mrs. Jones’ door with her elbow,
and put in her red face. “The pig has
come, ma’am, and where shall lie unload
it ? and who’s to help him ? for his horse
is ructions and won’t stand.”
“Mr. Jones is away. Oh dear! Can’t
you run over to Mr. Hanson’s and ask
him to come and help?”
“Sure and my hands are all in the
bread,” and Bridget held them up, cov
ered with dough to the wrists.
“Where are Katie and Minnie?”
“Oh, but and they’ve gone for beech
- i with Ma> .
Mrs. Jones 100 laid at the widow Brown
gently swaying to an 1 fro in the rocker,
with the baby asleep on her lap. If she
onlv dared ask her to lay down the baby
am! go! But the moral courage whs
lacking, and the widow did not proffer
her rvi . 1,” said M
despairingly, “toil him he must h'tch his
horse and go and find some help,” a
wish suddenly coming over her wicked
mind, which I daresay most wives have
felt at times, that she had a rope about
her husband’s neck to haul him home.
Bridget’s moon face disappeared, and
comparative! silence reigned for a half
hour, save the impatient pawing ot the
“ructions” horse, tied to one of the
shade trees.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
The lion. Charles A. Dana, Ihe emi

been a life-long friend of Ireland, tiie
Irish people an l the Iri-h cause, .and lit
a recent article upon tii . 1 Lmidoti dyna
mite explosions he says, and says truly:
“Nothing can ho added to the abhor
rence in which all right-minded people
in this country hold these acts and the
miscreants who perpetrate them. Ho
far as the men arc concerned who from
this side are said to aid aud abet them,
we know them on iy as tiie meanest and
lowest of swindlers, adroit enough to
evade trie law and daring enough to rob
servant girls here and po> -ibiy to murder
them in London. No law can reach
them or take eogoiz nice ot such acts as
they commit openly hero, but the wish
for their extirpation is heartfelt and uni
versal.
“They are the woist enemies of their
own country, its cowardly, skulking and
vicious foes, and every ounce of dyna
mite that they explode binds the hands
of all true and patriotic Irishmen, and
■defers just so much longer the day of
Ireland’s independence. It is an evil
work, and if it he pursued it will chill the
sympathy and enlist the indifference of
a country whh'h has given a home to
millions of Irish people.
“Such an unnatural and abominable
warfare cannot long endure. Wretch.es
like these, when they consphe, fall pres
ently apart out of their inherent deprav
ity, and no such, league ever yet for any
length of time lacked traitors to effect its
downfall. There are not needed even

WASHINGTON SOCIETV.
Tlie Incongruous Elements of Which It Is
Composed,
Washington Letter to Cleveland Lender.]
|gl noticed an instance of Washington
snobishness last night in one of the lead
ing groceries of tlie capital which well
illustrates the character of one class of
our high-toned court society. I was
waiting to buy some little things and a
very pretty and modest lady was stand
ing at tlie counter watching'the clerk do
up some packages for her. Another
lady, the wife of an old Washingtonian,
was also waiting, as I was, when Mrs.
Gen. , a leader of tlie capital, and'one
of the newest of the nouveau riche , came
strutting in, dressed in velvet and seal
skin. She was a tall, angular woman,
with a nose which seemed to turned up
at everybody and everything. She had
an eye-glass attached to a long handle in
her right-hand, and this she presented in
front of her right eye and began looking
superciliously around the store. All the
clerks were as busy as they could be!
Rut in the most arrogant air she turned
to the one above spoken of and said:
“Do you not sec, sir, that I am waiting?”
The clerk dropped the bundles lie had
and rushed over to her. She then pointed
with a majestic air to a lot of topaatoes
marked twelve cents a can. She said:
“1 will take one of those cans of tomatoes;
you may carry it out to my carriage,”
and with th she swept out of the store
which sin- had
entered. As she did so 1 noted a smile
of contempt on the countenance of the
old Washingtonian, who has tlie blood of
some of the most noted families in the
quietly waited
until her turn came to he served, and
taking her ; urcha . which amounted to
many times that of the snob who had
pushed in to her place, in her anna, she
sabj, 1 thank you. but ! can carry these
out."my .elf. : lie took the bundles in her
arms, going to tlie door stepped into a
finer carriage than than of the female
snob, ptietly away. 1 1,
is uo wonder that erne of the old. Wash-
ingtou ladies ob; ;ot to the rude ways of
those who in part compose our great
court circles. I
Washington society is a curious medley,
anyhow, Look at the affair at the Stew
art mansion last week. It was the big
ball of the season, and iho guests were all
invited ore s. Among them was young
H olman, the son of the chronic objector
of Congress, who came into the ball-room
drunk, and rudely .•!<•/ and the bare arm of
one of the young ladies and strove to
compel her to dance with him. A young
South American, a member of one of the
legations, endeavored to protect the
frightened girl, and got a blow in the
for his pains.
Policemen had !o be called in to drag
voting Holman from the house, and his
h it and overcoat were thrown after him
The next day tie foreigner sent a chal
lenge to young Holm ;u, and he returns
an '7ti)j- -t apology. In fact, you meet
many persons in Washington society
whom you would not think of inviting to
youi di im • bie at your homes. Offi
i-iai position to a large whent determines
-oei.ai standing, and many a family
w hich mov ;s in the second or third rank
in the -ociety in their own States are
elevated tu the first here. Some of them
have been socially ostracised for their
seandalou aelioi s in their native towns,
but Washington never bothers itself
about the skeletons in it- inhabitants’
closets, and Lucifer himself will be wel
come here if lie will dress well, keep his
hoofs dressed in patent leathers and his
tail out of sight. It is curious how peo
ple go up and down in Washington socie
ty. Senators and the sort of Congress
men who can come here for life if they
want to are the only ones who have any
permanence. The party in power and
its friends regulate tiie standard, and a
change of party means an almost entire
change of society. Two years ago Mrs.
Keifcr was the great lady of the capital.
Xow you can hardly hear her name.
Last year Mrs. Speaker Carlisle took her
place, and Washington snobishness
bowed to hei as did the eourtiers to Queen
Elizabeth. Next year there will he anew
lady in the White House, and the short
haired of the land will rule the social
world of Washington. Cleveland's sister
is said to be a strong-minded woman,
and if so, Susan 15. Anthony, Cady Stan
ton and her set possibly will be among
the better element.
A San Francisco paper relates that a
couple of we- k- or more ago Governor
Ad; ;a--. <f vada. while among some
o;d panel-*, (. -. nverod three valuable
- - to Mrs.
Adams by her father, an 1 were supposed
