London, Sept. 12.—English women
ihoot. That its, some shoot. That is
sgain, the exploits of Sou Altesse Roy-
,le la Condense de Paris and her daugh
ters among the grouse this fall have awak
ened the spirit of emulation in effery En
glishwoman who ever handled a gun.
The rain it raineth every day, hut the
shooting Englishwomen are off witli their
lords to the land of the heather, tramping
the damp Scotch moors on the chance of
taking a bird on the wing.
Very businesslike are they in their get
up. The daughter of the house where I
am staying made her courtesy before me
yesterday in fine form. Five feet five she
stands in her shooting boots, very straight,
firm-lleshed, with thinning eyes and the
exquisitely tinted English cheeks which
»l*ays seem to say to you that a shower
has just bio* n by, this constant rain being
such a freshening osmetic.
The light gon she earned may have
weighed five pounds or five and a half.
Strapped upon her back was a silk water
proof for the showers that overtake one
amid gone and brambles and a small cart
ridge case of true sportsmanlike fashion.
She wore a shooting dress of checked
tweed, one of those Scotch heather mix
tures which stand such rough walking, as
no other weave worn of woman has yet
shown itself able to endure. In its gray
colors, with threads of red and green, it
belonged to the moorlands. Its short
skirt, such a sensible skirt as no American
girl could bring herself to, came barely to
the tops of her high shooting boots,
scarcely interfering witli feeedom of move
ment when her shootership must get
through a hedge or climb over a stile.
This same short skirt was quite straight
and simple, except for flat panels of plain
stuff buttoned down at each side. It had
a jacket bodice of checked tweed turned
back over a waistcoat of plain stuff, open
ing at tbe neck to show a fiat white tie like
her brother’s tinder her straigtit litile
collar. There was a hat tf gray felt witli
a wide band of ribbon and a heron’s
feather. She was ready to back herself for
a rough, hard tramp through cold and
wet, with a sound sleep after it, against
any sportsman likely to he of the shotting
party.
The ranks of womcu who shoot are
filling in these latitude* and so many
American daines and damsels arc with the
parties in the north this season that the
fashion is likely to be imported. Tour
true English girl learns how to manage
her dog and can hid him “seek.”.“study' 1
and heel with an applomb surprising to
the onlooker. She learns, too, that hard
est of all lessons for the softer sex, to hold
her tongue, notiiing irritating her com-
panion!* niascnline more than unnecessary
chaster whiisr out with sue gUU. She it
self-reliant to a degree, carrying her own
gun a dav at a lime, thougli consigning it
to the leader when she comes to a bad bit
of water or an ugly hedge.
With her tweed gown she weirs a petti
coat of stout leather, with gaiteni of
chamois, or some equally soft or stronger
kid, buttoning well about tbe limbs and
protecting hbr from colds and chills as
effectua ly as if she were not a sportsman
of the skirt-wearing oyder.
The girls who are not shooting are boat
ing in September. A wonderful skill they
show in trie management of the light Can
adian canoes in th* strong tide of the
Thames in the pretty sketches above Kev
Gardens. Pretty bits of color Jhey make
on the water with theirliuen striped shirts,
with sailor tie pinned down in front and
white flannel gowns. A white »kirt with
green silk Bash knotted about the waist
and sailor hat with green ribbon is the
favored cnstnme of the light-haired girls,
hark oarswomen wear full vests of. ruby
and amber silk, flashing by like fireflies at
dusk. The girls who really row—and
none of them have records not to be des
pised— wear dark blue serge gowns with
serge blouses that are not the worse for
■plashes of Thames water. There are no
oarswomen about New York to be com
pared with the London girls, though the
current of the Hudson is slow beside the
■he and fall of the Thames tide and the
•luggish Harlem is a paradise of still
water.
Yachting costumes on English waters
ire far more rough and ready, as a rule,
■nan the smart nautical dresses which one
at Newport. Blue yachting gowns,
pilot coats and plain sailor hats are better
in accord with stormier sens and foggier
■kies, and are plainly looked upon as more
chic as well. In Bond street and Urgent
■treet the more elaborate water costumes
are evidently exhibited by the tailors for
American buyers, though some English
tailor lasses are following American ex-
amplc and make their plain serge dresses
s background merely for gold braid or
stiver embroidery.
Black serge embroidered with black,
“lack serge braided with black cords, navy
blue serge with blouse bodice and skirt
wonts of white cloth, flannel skirts belted
at the waist, dark tweed gowns with
■mocked silk bodices, these are the yacht-
gowns of the real yachtswomen of
fc ngland. For noveltitB they allow gowns
of heavy white linen, thick 'and substan-
ual, with smocked Bilk skirts in pale pink

Scotland consider the American market.
Some of their finest goods are for the
American trade only and are introduced
in London, if at all’, through the inquiries
for them made by American travelers.
The silk Henrietta cloths are a case in
point. American women have adopted
the Henriettas into their heart of hearts,
but in London shops they could not be
bought until Americans astray in Europe
this summer cnlled for them so persistently
that they had to be introduced into the
stock. Even now few English women will
buy them. They call them too expensive
and cling to the tweeds and cheviots, leav
ing tlie American’s favorites to the Amer
ican buyers, for whom they were designed
and woven.
As the Londoners put on their fall
gowns, they appear resplendent in braids,
which it seems will accompany us, as last
year, through the winter.

KOUSTAM, TJ1K MAMELUKE.
Saps
to be niblbliud*
From London Telegraph.
Koustam, the famouB and, according to
popular tradition, the faithful Mameluke
of the great Napoleon, was evidently of a
literary turn. At all events the editor of
an interesting Paris review, which is only
read by literary connoisseurs—La Revue
Retrospective—hns unearthed from some
place a series of documents purporting to
be the memoirs of the magnificent Mame
luke whose bronzed lineaments, dazzling
dress and silken girdle full of damaskeened
pistols have been preserved for ui by the
great French water-colorist, Isabey.
Koustam has alwaj s been evoked as the
pink and pattern of fidelity, but it is
related that lie (shaved most ungratefully
to his august master when the “Star of the
Brave” began to pale and Elba loomed in
the distance. It is slid, moreover, that he
settled down comfortably in a tobacco shop
which had been given to him by the gov
ernment of Louis I’billippe.
Roustam’s memoirs are a strange med
ley of puerile ingenuity and Oriental cun
ning. He knew that he was an ornament
al appendage in the household of thegfeat
conqueror, and he relates how he made use
of his position to obtain all sorts of favors
from the mighty emperor, who occasion
ally called him nicknames and pinched
his cars in play. The Mameluke states
that in youth he was stolen from Georgia,
his native country, by brigands, and that
on his arrival at Cairo, at the age of 15,
Sala Bey enrolled him among the chosen
troops.
When the toy was poisoned, in the nat
ural Oriental order of things, Koustam en
tered the service of a sheik, and attracted
soon after the notice of Bonaparte, who at
once made him a brilliant offer, which he
accepted. Koustam followed the conqueror
to France, but not without many misgiv
ings, for some of .the French officers were
in the habit of frightening him by saying
that his head v mild be cut off and stuck
on a pole as soon ns he landed in Euro
The Mameluke socn became the wonder
of the day in Paris. Josephine—whom he
calls “the good More. B .naparte”—made,
him a present of a ring. Describing the fa
mous coup d’etat ol the Eighteenth Bru-
raaire, of November 9, 1799, when the
grenadiers of Napoleon leu by Murat drove
the deputies from the Orangery of Hl
Cloud at tbe point of the bayonet, JKous-
tam laconically says that Bonaparte went
down to fcL Cloud “to show some people
the door."
The change from General Bonaparte’s
humble residence in the Rue Chanteriene
to the Luxembourg and then to tire Tuil-
lories was the event which made most im
pression on tlie memory of the Mameluke.
He also relates how, when he used to sleep
on the mat before tlie emperor’s door, Na
poleon sometimes tried him by puttingout
the lights and coming stealthily toward
him. Koustam, on one of these occasions
nearly strangled the conqueror by mistake.
Perhaps tlie most amusing part of the
memoirs is that relating to the bad faith
and dishonesty of Napoleon’s minions,
lierthicr, for instance, onee borrowed Rous
tam’s din mond-hilted sword and forget to
return it. Jhrisitue*, who was told to put
tho Mameluke’s name down for an annuity
of 900 livrs’S, placidly annexed half the
sum for himself. Referring to Elba,
Koustam explains his conduct by saying
that he could not find horses to enable him
to follow the emperor. His old oriental
instincts, however, were rather too strong
to permit the Mameluke, who had Been so
many pachas come and go, to remain on
the losing side. Roustam’s amusing
memoirs stop at Elba. He himself disap
peared from the scene until the transfer
of Napoleon's remains to the Invalidcs,
when lie blazed once more before the
Parisians in his magnificent oriental
frippery.
A Story or I'restJeut Jackson.
From Young Hearts.
Never was any man more enterprising
and self-reliant than Andre v Jackson. An
anecdote, telling about his parting from
his mother, illustrates this, as exhibited
very early in his life, when as a boy in
North Carolina, he was getting ready to go
over into Tennessee to give his youthful
ambitions a chance.
“I had,” said he, “contemplated this step
for months, and had made arrangement*
for my trip, and at length had obtained

SUSS M’TAVISH TO MARItY NORFOLK.
Knglnml’a Greatest Duke and Baltimore’s
Beautiful and Wealthy Belle Engaged.
Special to the New York Evening World.
bsLTiMORE, Sept. 2d.—Tlie^announce
ment of Miss Virginia McTavisa’s engage
ment to the Duke of Norfolk has thrown
Baltimore society into a flutter of excite
ment Cablegtams received here to-day
verify the reports circulat.d yesterday.
.Miss Virginia McTavish is tall, stately
and a blonde. She is a leading society
belle to Baltimore and New York, but is
not popular because of her excessive
hauteur. She is a daughter of Charles
Carroll McTavish, a lineal descended of
ChaHrs Carroll, of Carrollton, and her
mother was a Miss Scott, a daughter of
General Winfield Scott. She is considered
the finest horsewoman in America, and on
tor imported Irish hunter frequently
rides ahead of nil the mile mem
bers of tlie Elkridge, Koekaway
and Cedarhurst hunts. Two of her sisters
have retired to convents. The elder, Miss
Emilpr, took the visitation veil at Mount
Desailks and gave her fortune to the
church. The younger one became a Car
melite nun. bite is just the one of all the
ricii and pretty women of Baltimore who
would appreciate and do justice to the
position and title of Duchess of Norf lk.
An aunt of Miss McTavish married tlie
first and last Marquis of Wellesley, for
some time governor-general of India. He
was the elder brother of the great Duke of
Wellington.
None of the family in Maryland, Vir
ginia or New York had the faintest idea
of tlie matrimonial intentions of their
cousin nor of the distinguished connection
that awaited them. Indeed it was reported
not long ago by those who pretend to keep
au couranl witli the movements and plans
of the British nobility that a marriage had
been arranged between tlie Duke of Nor
folk and a young Englishwoman of rank.
THE DUKE OF NORFOLK.
Henri Fitz-Alan-Iioward, Knight of the
Garter, fifteenth Duke of Norfolk, Earl of
Arundaie, of Surrey, and Lord of a dozen
more digDities, including that of heriditary
earl marshal of the English realm, is the
first and greatest of all England’s nobles.
He is the premier duke and premiercarl
of the kingdom, both of these titles dating
from 1483, and lie takes rank and pre-
cedure before ail nobles of Great Britain
and immediately after peers of the reign-
tog house or dukes of the blood royal. He
is a Roman Catholic in religion, his an
cestors having always clung to the old
church, and liis only public duties ,have
been on matters connected with papal
affairs. He was recently sent as the
Queen's representative to the Vatican to
congratulate I’ope Leo on his jubilee, and
on thut occasion he handed his holiness a
check for many thousands of dollars os his
own personal donation.
The duke is a widower. He married in
1877 Ladv Flora llastizgs, daughterof the
Countess of Loudoun anil niece of the un
fortunate Marqnis of Hastings, who died
bankrupt and broken-hearted in 1868, the
last of liia race. In this connection it is
interesting to add tlmt Lady Loudoun in
herited the only one of her brother’s (Lord
Hastings) twelve earldoms which could be
inherited by a woman, and thus became a
peeress in her own right. She died some
lew years after her daughter became a
duchesH, and in her will leitdirsetions that
her body was to be buried in the , amily
vault, but that her right hand was to. be
detached from her body and buried in a
certain favorite spot on one of her Scotch
estates.
Prior lo Lady Flora Hastings’s mar-lag j
to the Duke of Norfolk she became a con
vert to Romanism, and was apparently as
devoted to Rome as her husband. A son
was given them in 1879, the present Earl
of Arundel and Surrey, but to the great
grief of his parents lie was born blind and
deaf and has since developed signs of im-
to. 1 lily. He G not likely lo attain man
hood, so that the second marriage of his
father will, perhaps, provide the heir to
tlie titles and estates. Flora, Duchesa of
Norfolk, died two or three years ago.
The Duke of Norfolk ta rich even for an
English duke. He has a splendid mansion
in the heart of London and one of the
most beautiful domains in Sussex os his
principal country seat Arundel castle
dates trout the days of King Alfred, and a
fireplace is shown in one of tho old towers
where the Saxon monarch is supposed, to
have warmed ilia limbs. The successive
dukes have of course restored the
castle from time to time, and the present
palace wing, built by tlie thirteenth duke,
is a beautiful and picturesque structure.
In tbe grounds is a long wailed enclosure
called tbe duchess’s kitchen garden, where
the present duke's grandmother indulged
in her hobby of cultivating vegetables.
Near to tlie great gates of tho grounds is a
magnificent Gothic cathedral,{built a dozen
years ago entirely at the duke’s expense
and presented to tne Catholic church, and
beneath the grand altar lie the remains of
his young widow.
As for the duke personally, it may be
said that he ia a man of pre-eminent vir
tue and a worthy exponent of the motto,
“Noblesse oblige.” He is a patron of arts
and letters, a breeder of fine stock, a pro
moter of agriculture, a generous landlord,
and liberal in every way witli hia wealth.
In appearance he is somewhat short in
stature, will, a full beard and unpro
nounced features. Ilia one little pecul
iarity ia hia .partiality to shabby tall hats.
Sixteen Typical Drunkards.
W» sblngton Star, Sept. It.
To show how wildly wide of the mark
some campaign stories fly, no better illus
tration can be found than the paragraph
which has been doing service in certain
temperance papers of late, represent
ing Mr. Harrison as declining to drink
a tosst in wine because lie was
“one of a class of seventeen young men
who graduated together; the other sixteen
now till drunkard’s graves, and all from
the pernicious habit ot wine drinking.”
Somebody has taken the trouble to hunt
this narrative down, and finds that one of
the sixteen dead drufPcards is a Roman
Catholic monk actively engaged in
religious work in Baltimore; eight of
them became Protestant ministers, includ
ing the Rev. David Swing of Chicago
and Representative John A. Anderson of
Kansas: four became lawyerr, including
Milton May Ur and Prof. I* W. Ross of the
University of Iowa; one is a physician and
a prominent elintch elder; one was a
colonel in the union aruiy and was killed
at Gettysburg, and one, who was of tem
perate habits, died soon alter graduation
QUIETED BY STEAM,
IiRIEF TARIFF HISTORY.
The Horror* of tho K«,<«ainii Convict Ship
Nlrh.nl-Notgoroa.
Furnished with the necessary permit
from the port authorities (writes the
Odessa correspondent < f the London News),
I was enabled this morning to inspect the
internal arrangement* of the Russian con
vict transport Nizh-ni-Novgorod, which
sails hence this eveniig with 460 criminal
deportes for tlie Bu^ian penal island of
Saghalien. Tlie Nizh-ni-Novgorod is an
iron steamer of about 3,800 tons burthen,
and is specially fitted as a convict trans
port. With a full complement of convicts
the vessel carries The officers and
crew number eighty, inclusive of a marine
convoy escort of six ly-two men, specially
chosen for this duly. The iron-barred
compartments, or cases, in which the con
victs are confined, run parallel fore and
aft, on either side tire lower and ’tween
decks. The iron bars, an inch thick, of
these cages ami the vrod work in which
they are set are heavily and solidly con
structed. The cages are of unequal ca
pacity and length, but have a uniform
hight of seven and a half feet. The more
desperate characters are manacled and
chained to iron staples in their berths,
from which they are released when neces
sary. Tne greater number, although re
taining the waist a;d ankle shackles, of
light construction, have the freedom ot
traversing the length of the compartment,
which may vary from twenty-five
to forty feet Between the outer bars and
the two plain plank shelves or bunks run
ning from end to end of the compartment
which afTords sleeping room for the occj-
pants there js a space of about four and . a
half or five feet. Except during the dis
tribution of rations, no culiuarv vessels are
left with the convijts. Even the drinking
water is obtained uily through an india
rubber mouth pieef fixed in an inclosed
water tank and through which the drinker
sucks his draft. Immediately outside the
cages and attached to the under part of
the deck over head is a steam pipe con
nected with the ship’s boilers. Into these
pipes are fitted strew nozzles at intervals
of twelve feet. Tbe object of the steam
pipe is to suppresf any dangerous outbreak
among the in mites of the cage. By
means of s. short hose, spec
ially made to resist the steam
heat, quickly attichcd to one of the steam
pipe nozzles, the turbulent convicts are
readily quieted oi parboiled. Strong water
jets have been foind next to useless in
allaying these occasional tumults. After
the ship has pausd the canal, hut not be
fore, batches of convicts are in turn brought
upon deck for a shower bath and short
exercise. A strongly constructed iron
railing, eight feet high, crosses the vessel
amidships in or!or that the convict during
his bath and while unmanacled cannot by
any sudden rush evade the guard and reach
the quarterdeck] Some of the more des
perate convicts,jwho stubbornly resist all
disciplinary control, are confined to the
cages during the whole voyage. Both the
upper and lowir ’tween decks are open and
airy, the systeii of ventilation Is excellent,
and the cages themselves are kept scrupu
lously clean. The cages are repainted
every voyage. Every convict, in addition
to having his pair cropped short, has the
left half of the head from front lo back
closely shavea. Among the 4G0 convicts
carried by the Nizh-ni-Novgorod about ICO
are murderers. One of these is a relative
of the ^ hah of Persia—Prince Khanalam-
Miraz, son of Prince Betman Mira/., 25
years of age, and sentenced lo twenty
Svnns* linru labui forth* TOUrdeF of bii*
brother in Russia. Another noble crimi
nal is a large landed proprietor of
Vilna, sentenced to eighteen years’ hard
labor for murdering a neighbor, also a
land proprietor. Six murderers are Ma-
hommedans. Upon the greater num
ber of these murderers, in ad
dition to their various terms ot
hard labor in the mines and quarries,
will be inflicted on their arrival a given
number of blows from the knout, varying
from 50 to 125, according to their crimes*
The convict’s horror and dread of having
to live out his terrible sentences is shown
by the desperate attempts at self-destruc
tion he is ever ready to make, tn this
acconnt even the convict’s lavatories on
the Nizhni*Novgorod have been detached
from cages, are are now built of iron in the
ship’s sides. The convicts must pass to
them under guard. Formerly tho closet
plates were frequently wrencfied ofF, and
the convict crawled and forced himself
through the tubing to reach me water and
end his exiitcnce. I watched a party of
convicts coming aboard the vcr^el, and ob
served how close were the two gangway files
of Cossacks and marines through which
they passed, to prevent any poor manacled
wretch casting himself into the water,
knowing thut the weight of his chains
would assure his drowning before ft rescue
were possible, The scene on boa*d these
departing convict ship*, i- altogether .-ad-
dening and depressing, perhaps the more so
that one does not hear a murmur or lament
from the stolid-looking and broken**!) iri ted
wretches crowded behind the bars oi these
cages, which remind the spectator only too
forcibly of the wild beast dens wc are ac
customed to see in a traveling menagerie.

I-liases of Protection.
Fro s^the Chicago Herald.
1779—Abolition of the inter-state tsriflh
and reduction of state tariffs on foreign
goods, followed by rapid increase of pros
perity.
1808—Absolute prohibition of all impor
tations, followed by universal disaster.
1806—Repeal of prohibition, followed
by renewal of prosperity.
1812 —The tariff doubled and nil impor
tations stopped bv the war. Result, hard
times over tlie whole country, general sus
pension of banks and such suffering in
New England that secession was threat
ened.
1810—A protective tariff adopted—in
6ome things higher than that of 1812,
although in some things lower. This was
the first tariff which was framed ail through
upon the principle of protection. The
"protectionists themselves always Bay that
it was followed by great depression of
trade
1818—This tariff made still more protect
ive; and the protectionists always refer to
the year 1819 as one of great disaster.
1824—A higher tarifl, followed by great
depression in the protected manufactures,
and certainly without one cent of increase
in wages.
1828—A very high protective tariff, Im
mediately followed by hard times in 1829,
and low wages as long as this tariff ex
isted.
1832— No “free trade” at all, hut a slight
reduction of tlie tariff, followed by im
provement in business.
1833— A gradual redaction of the tariff,
leaving it still so high that an enormous
surplus accumulated in the treasury,
which was distributed among tho states in
1837. This distribution was immediately
followed by the famous panicof 1837 which
wns the direct result of wild land specula
tion all over the country, brought about
largely bv the surplus.
1842—Protective tariff restored, followed
by one year (1843) of' the greatest stagna
tion of business ever known, while during
the whole existence of this tariff farm
wages were cut down about one half from
what they had been even after the panicof
1837, and wheat, corn and cotton sold at
prices disastrous to farmers and planters.
Good times and fat profits for iron, cotton
and woolen mill owners; bad times for
every one else.
1846—Tlie tariff cut down by about one-
third to one-half. Result, nn immediate
increase in commerce and snipping, a rapid
increase in mai ufaotures, unprecedented
prosperity in agriculture, and the most
rapid advance in wages ever known in the
history of the country, before or since.
1858—Even under the low tarifl' of 1846
tlie revenue had become excessive and a
surplus accumulated. In order to get ri«l
of this surplus the tarifl wns reduced in
July; bnt in September, before the new
tarifl could have the least effect, the short
panic of 1857 occurred as the result of an
other wild laud speculation, combined par
tially with the failure of crops. By 1858,
however, almost the whole effect of the
panic had passed away, and to 1859 and
I860 agriculture, commerce and manufac
tures were nil more prosperous than they
had ever been before.
1801—A protective tarifl, constantly
increasing until 1867. According to pro
tectionist logic the result was our terrible
civil war, because thiH, as a matter of fact,
immediately iollowed the new tariff. For
more than a year after the adoption of this
p otective tariff the business of tiie.country
was in a fearfully depressed condition.
1R64—Tariff raised 50 per cent. Manu
facturers make fortunes for three years,
Wages, in gold, lower than ever.
1867—Great increase in tariff on wool.
Result, immediate slaughter of 400,000
sheep, reduction of wool product and ruin
of many woolen factories. Tho years 1867,
1889 and 1869 were periods of great de
pression in business and especially in man'
ufactures. In 1868 the protectionists
themselves declared that tiiere were more
unemployed workmen than had ever be
fore been known.
1870—Slight icdnction to the tarifl' and
considerable reduction in taxation gener
ally. As a result business improved con
siderably. But, the tariff being still main
tained in all in protective features, the
great panic of a 1873 ensued, which was far
worse than the panic of 1857, and which
lasted for more than five times as long a
period. From September, 1873, unt^l Jan
uary, 1879, the busiuesa or the
country was more depressed and
aioro laborers were driver: out of
employment than in any previons period
of the country’s history. So far from
there being “twenty-seven years ofopros-
perity” under the last protective tarifl,
fully half of that time has been a period
of extraordinary business depression, es
pecially marked by failing wages and tlie
wholesale discharge of laborers from cm
ployment. This was especially tho case in
1861, 1867, 1869, 1873, 1874, 1875, 1876
1877 and 1878.
1883—Pretended reduction but real in
increase in tarifl. Wages cut down every
where in factories and mints. Great panic
of May. 1884, leaving depression for two
years.
The most extraordinary fact about this
whole story is that men of sense, who
have lived through the fearful period of
depression, extending from 1874 to 1879,
when, for the first time, legislation against
“tramps" was needed, should yet J»»en
gravely to the assertion of protectionists
that nothing is needed to secure prosperity
ex<?pt just such a high tariff as we have
now and bad then.

That was a home trust of Mr. Mills in
his Brooklyn rpeech in which h» enumer
ated the taxes removed from the rich by
the republicans and mentioned the bur
dens left upon the poor.
T c taxes abolished by these professed
guardians of workingmen included those
on incomes, on ra Iroids, on banks, o tel
egraph and express companies, on manu
factures (3 per cent, only) and on articles
of import not produced in ihis country—
chiefly luxuries.
These were all taxes on the rich. And
the republicans repeated them. More than
75 per cent, of the existing tariff taxes are
collected upon articles of universal neces
