brief, Sprague was in Maine, and

arrived at the family mansion and
remained-there twodays. Sprague
returned, found Conklingy and gave-
him twenty minutes to get out of

Much comment has- been made
upon the unusual appearance of
Mrs. Conkling at Washington, and,
her presence with her husband
at a banquet given by Mrs. Sprague
to a select circle of Wash in
people. This is regarded as a piece
ing the wreck of his millions. ‘ Ills of diplomacy agreed upon by
wife. Mrs. Sprague went to live

W . _ pa
time in Rhode Island, contemplat-
wife had money troubles. She had
been used to luxurious living; pay
ing bills of any magnitude without
looking at theiu; pridiiig herself
upon an easy insouciance as regards
practical affairs. The taxes on the
property had to be paid, and she
could uot pay them. Sprague, off
in. WW441'Lhtnd,; ,«jdid :|ot; or
would not pay them.

Thc upshot of all-this unpleasant
private history is that Mrs. Sprague
has applied for a divorce from
Sprague, alleging drunkenness neg

The Prince of Wales is hard up
again-and ingoing to apply to Par-
liauieut to help him
out of his diffi
culties. This poor felloW has a hard
time' of it: tie gets the beggarly
sfilaYy of 4200,000- a year, besides
what he.draws from his estates in
tlje way, of rent. He, is, is npw

this 8209,000-salaried beggar goes to
Parliament withhishat-in hb hand
and begs to have a few more dollars
dropped in it. - His mother is a rnlU
lionaire, hut--she has no intention
of coming., to his assistance. .The
magnificent contribution of $%50Q
m-ideby her to the Irish famine has
left her but little -fb'bestow on hef

Far front it. These are natnre’s no

sition, tbejr are surely upper circle*
in the order of nature,-.whatever the
fictitious distinctions of society,
fashionable or unfashionable, de
cree- It is not low, it is the highest,
j duty, privilege and pleasure for ‘he
p great man and high-sotiled woman
to eam what they possess, to work
their own’-way through life; to be
the architects of their own fortunes.
Some may rank the classes we have
alluded to as only relatively low
had in feet the middling ’classes:
We' -insist they are ahsolntely the
very highest If there he a class of
hitman heings on earth who
be properly denominated lor
that class who spend.- without

ing, who dissipate on the earnings
of their fathers or relatives, without
being anything in -and -of them
selves. , — I T
cording to the party they belong to,
Is ^strikingly illustrated in recent
incidents- When Wade Hampton,
who is not a duellist, nor a, seeker
of quarrels, wrote to Secretary
Sherman denouncing a statement
made, by .him as a falsehood. ;the
whole Republican press broke, out
into a chorus of cxccrations,against'
the blood-thirsty South Carolinan,
r who, it Is charged,:desired to mas
sacre the heaveuiy-mlndod Ohioan;
hut who a few weeks later, Senator
Conkling aud cx-Sccrotary Bout-
well similarly denounced a state
ment of Senator Bayard as a false
hood. the same Republican press
failed'o perceive.in it anything to
provoke condemnation ten the con
trary, it applauded the Conkling act
as prop! of commendable spirit.
Mr. Beecher is ’ another favorite,
whose words and acts are held to be

A few years ago’This -renowned
authorit itivo interpreter.of human
rights and dotiss-told the working
men of the United States that a dol

them as satisfactory -wages,-since
tlicv couldsubsiston a diet-of bread

Mr.'Becchcr who said.it, the manu

joicing that it was not a respectable
Democrat who uttered the heart
less and 'Unsympathetic words, since
