MISS WEST'S LOVE AFFAIR.
A Sad Tnlaof Blight*.. Affection. Apropos
Gf the tfliiii.ivr'i iinUnlilrt.
From the Now York Herald.
Washington, Nov. 23.—Allusion has
been made to a heart affair which haa pre
vented Min Sackville-West from encour
aging the attentions of a number of suitors
for her hand. Her constancy is as credi
table to her sweet, true natuie as the prin
ciple involved proves her noble character.
It is now seven years since Miss Victoria
West emerged from a French convent, and
with n governess for a companion, came to
■Washington t» preside over Her Britannic
Majesty’s legation, her fajher being minis
ter plenipotentiary. Miss West was an
artless unsophisticated girl of eighteen.
Her great charm of face consisted in what
the Italians call sympathetic blue eyes.
Countess Lewenhaupt, the wife of the
Swedish minister, was young, handsome,
high born and very popular in Wash
ington society. She kindly chap
eroned Miss West and made
all the tint calls with her which
the etiquette of this city requires. Her
introduction of M if s West was felicitous
and successful, and the young lady soon
won her way to the hearts of all who met
her.
Attached to the Swedish Legation was
a young man with one of those sorrows for
which there is no help. Mr. De Bildt,
while living in Philadelphia, had met and
married the handsome and wealthy daugh
ter of Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, the lady
whose name haa long been associated with
that of the I’oel Browning. Mr. and Mme.
De Bildt were very happy, especially
when two children were added to their
pleasant home in this city. After the
birth of a third child the mother was ill
and delirious. She has never regained
her reason. She had to be sent to a pri
vate asylum. Mrs. Moore came to Wash
ington and kept house for her sou-in-law
and took charge of the children. The
house was on Connecticut avenue near the
British Legation.
Mr. De Bildt and Miss West were thrown
much together, and but for the obstacle
would have been declared lovers. It was
deemed prudent for Mr. De Bildt to be
transferred elsewhere, and Mrs. Moore,
hoping that something might be done for
her alllicted daughter, took her to Europe,
ana at one time me news came that she was
restored and with her husband.
But this is not so. The diplomstn spoke
of Mis* West os being disconsolate, but she
has been brave through her trial and kept
up her cheerfulness, and when one sister
came and then another she acted like a
mother in giving them advantages. She
styled hereelf “an old maid" at 23, but con.
tinnes the handsomest and most attractive
of the thgee sisters. She has the dignity of
a mature woman. One of Ouida’s first
novels was founded on a similar plot to this
story, only the hero and heroine were not
heroic.
While Gen. Boulanger was swallowing
his soup at a recent public banquet in
Paris, three children, one of whom held a
banner with the general’s portrait pinned
on it, were parsed over the heads of the
crowd .to he kissed by the new savior of
society. One of the children was a mu
latto, which greatly puzzled tome of the
reporters, who did not perceive that the
whole thing wsa an allegory. These three
children personified the sister republics,
France, Switzerland and America, the lat
te- being ir.carnaied in the mulatto child.
“What could be more artless, touching
and ethnrgraiih'cilly enriotuf” inquires
the London World.
_ No Terror In tlie Guillotine.
From narper's Magazine.
And yet it is evident that the guillotine
was not at first a terror-inspiring object.
One general of the revolutionary army
had a guillotine engraved on his seal. The
ladies of Tours wore guillotine car-rings,
and the “avenger of the people” danced
with them at the pro-consular balls. The
guillotine was a la mode. Its inventor,
Dr. Guillotin. in a speech before the
national assembly on Dec. 1,1789, had said:
“With my machine I slice oil your head
in the twinkling of an eye, and you do not
sufler." People, it must he presume!,
soon grew accustomed to the fatal ma
chine, for it even entered the salons, and
Mm. de Goncourt relate in their “History
of French Society During the Revolution”:
“lo extremely good company at dessert,
after supper, a little mahoganv guil
lotine was placed on the table, and
tbe ladies, acting the roll of Sanson, placed
under the knife doll , whoae heads were
portraits of some enemy I.anielli, Robes
pierre, ltsilly or I.sfavee. The head was
cut oil, and red fluid llowed from the neck;
the doll was a bottle, ami tbe blood some
amber colored liqueur." Kociely in its in
souciance treated a> a t»y the instrument
which was soon to decimate its ranks. But,
ezeept in prints, the guillotine is not open
represented. It is occasionally found on
patriotic snuffboxes, which themselves
take the firm of a Phrygian cap. There
is one iron pike hea l at the Carnavalet
Musi urn on which is engraved an old-
fashioned guillotine, worked by a rope.
On the knife is engraved a Phrygian cap,
and tbe inscriptions above and below arc
“Ca ira”and “Vive la republique." When
tbe guillotine was first need the knife was
held suspended by a rope, and, at a given
signal, a soldier, with averted eyes, cut the
rope with his sword. Afterward the work
ing of the machine was improved and
made more expeditious as ita use became
extended. '
Tlie Next Minister from England.
Edmund Yates, telegraphing to the New
York Tribune on the 2Gtn inst., saya that
it is now definitely settled that Mr. Ed-
wardes does not return to the post of first
secretary of the Washington legation. Mr.
Herbert will remain as charge d’affairs
until after Gen. Harrison’s inauguration,
when, it is aii out certain, Sir Francis
Clarke Ford will go out as minister. Lord
Sackville’e name is mentioned in connec
tion with a colonial governorship, but it is
understood that he will not receive an
other diplomatic appointment.
How to Improve Cannitn.
From the I'ltubarg Dispatch.
Gen Sherman’* argument against the
annexation of Canada, that “we have
enough poor land already,” haa some force.
But the general omits to consider the sup
ply of boodlcra that we could get for use
as fertilizers.
U. Massenet, the composer is busy on a
new opera, which will be of a thorough
oriental csst. It is founded on a poem by
M. Jean Richepin, the fiery and brilliant
baid of “Lea Blasphemes,” and will he
provisionally entitled “Le Mage.” The
scene is laid ia Persia, before the epoch of
the First Darius, and the principal hero
is Zoroaster, who will have as his foils
King Hyatispes and a priestess of Jahi—
the goddess of love. In the'the third act,
during orgies and incantations of the
priests, there will he a grand ballet, enti
tled.” La Fete dcs Voluptes." M. Masse
net is to have the work ready either for
the end of the present year or the begin
ning of 1889.
The Country Vote Being Corrupted.
From the New York Times.
No single feature of the recent campaign
has excited more comment than the extent
of the purchasable and purchased votes in
the rural districts. Heretofore it has been
generally assumed that iu the country,
where voters were well known to each
other, the disgrace of venality would be a
sufficient protection against it; hilt this
year, for one reason and another, bribery
tins been more extended, and in some dis
tricts public opinion has almost ceased to
regard the sale of a vote as a serious dis
credit to the voter. This fact must be borne
in mind in this state when the ballot re
form comes before the legislature again, ns
it is sure to do this winter. There is a dis
position to make thesecret ballot requisite
only in the cities; but such a law would
accomplish only a half reform. In propor
tion to the population the secret ballot is
even more necessary in the country dis
tricts than in the cities, As a remedy for
machine dictation it is mos'. desirable in
the cities, but as a check on bribery it is
indispensable In all parts of the state.
An Old Biddle Solved.
From tbe San Francisco Wasp.
A plumber and an upholsterer were re
cently engaged on fitting up a fashionable
residence in Van Ness avenue and got
into a discussion as to which wero the
heavier, a pound of lead or a pound of
feathers.
“I’ll bet you four bits that I can prove
to you that a pound of lead is heavier
than a pound of feathers,” said the
plumber.
“I’ll take the bet,” said the up
holsterer.
The plumber cut ofl a foot of lead pipe
and pared it down until it weighed six.,
teen ounces. Then ho got from the up
holsterer the same weight in leathers.
"Now,” aaid the plun.ber, holding'the
lump of lead in his right hand and the
bag ( f feathers in his left hand, “let me
drop the lead on yonr left foot and the
feathers on your right.”
The man of leathers paid for the
cigars.
Had lor Blair.
From the New York World.
So late as 1884 Senator Il&rrigon declared
the sound doctrine that “$l voted by the
people ot any achool district for the sup
port of common tchools is worth $10 given
out of the treasury of the United States.”
This looks bad for Brother Blair.
FAILURE AT ADAIRSVtLLF.
rgla.
Yoonff Politicians In O
From the.Mobile Rc(filler.
Georgia is rearing a pushing crop of
young politicians. The presidential elec
tors just chosen had barely attained their
majority, and the presiding officers of
the legislature were both born in 1882.
Mme. Iluot, the lively, black-haired
and dark-eved little woman who is the
chief champion and spokeswoman of the
anti-viviaectionists of Paris, has just de
livered her annual denunciation of M.
I’.i-tcur :tnd all hi* di-iorerie*. The
(lever lady -| -kt- f- r nearly an hour, and
was complimented satirically by a hand of
boisterous students,who, however, drowned
her voice when she called M. Pasteur h
“churner of microbes” anil’a “eoncocter of
II o’clock bouillons.” The students flmtllj
broke up the meeting amid shout* of
“Vive l’asteurl” and Mme. Hoot wound
up the proceedings by going around the
audience for subsrciplions in aid of a
dozen stray dogs which some friends of
hers are trying to keep clear of the scal
pels of the vivisectors.
Mr. l!nnt. K. Bllih Turn. Orar Ills Stock
In III* Creditor*.
Adairsvii.le, Ga , Dec. 3.-[Special.]—
Bcnj. F. Bibb, dealer in general merchan
dise, turned over his stock to his creditors
today. Poor collections and the loss of
trade are the principal causes. His assets
and liabilities are not known yet, but it is
thought each creditor will he made safe.
The Pres, on the Message,
New York, Dec. 3.—As was to have
been expected, the tone of the American
j.rt■*» generally it|-.11 I lie subject of Ili
Pr itunt'i message, seem* to have been
regulated by party politics. While papors
of allshadis find much in the mtasige to
commend and comment favorably on its
dignity, patriotism and expressions of pos
sible anxiety for the fu
ture, the r» publican press seems
to think Cleveland’s opportunity has gone,
and the democratic press that the docu
ment is the keynote for the future. All
arguments pro and con in relation to tho
tarifi question loud during the campaign
in congress and on the slump, are repro
duced, but, beyond this, “editorial cont
inents" have not contributed much to the
interest attending the message.
To h« Tried for Sliootlog Ills Father.
Athens, Dee. 3.—[Special.]—Jackson
county superior court convenod today.
Among the important cases to bo called is
the case of the State vs. young Shealer,
charged with shooting his father, at
Mayesville, last spring. The old man,_ it
will be remembered, was heating bis wife
when young Shealer appeared on the
scene and shot his father with a pistol.
The Patriarch Defend, hi* Aoltun.
Belgrade, Dec. 3.—In replying to ex-
<]ucen Natalie’s protest ^against tho de
cree cf divorce granted King Milan, tho
Patriarch of Coftslaulinopie decrees that
the divorce was legally pronounced. King
Milan has issued a final decree that the
queen henceforth shall be addressed as
Madame Natalie de Keczko.
A Duty to Ireland.
From, the New York Sop.
the London limts is enraged over iue
collection of money in litis country for the
defence of Mr. Parnell; but it is not likely
that this will put an eud to the raising cf
subscriptions here, or even disrourage tho
promotersof the t'arnellluad. The desires
of the Times in thec.r-e do not grow out of
its anxiety lo scfntefair play for the Irish
leader, through whosedefeat it is trying to
de*iroy the hopes of Ireland. Let thesub-
scriptions from America for the Parnell
defence fund be kept up till notice is given
thU they are no longer needed. Tho
friends of Ireland in the United States
mn*t do their duty in this case.
The Nacoocheo Floats Off.
M oars bad City, N. C., Dec. 3.—The
steamer Naconchee, which was ashore
twenty-five miles from Point Lookout,
floated at 9 a. in. today and proceeded
without an c»cort. Iler cargo wag partly
m.loaded. The Nacoochee sustained no
damage lo her bottom. Merritt’s boats
have gone home.
