THE EVENING STAR.

THE MANNER AND STYLE or ENGLISH WOMEN
OF RAMA London correspondent OF the New
Orleans Delta says: THE grand and naughty de.
meanor Is a thing Of past days; at present the
words "fast'' and "dashing," more itly describe
the character ofarstocratic life. The great DANES
often indulge in slang. To'cut'' and to "mizzle"
are not unfrequent words in the mouth OF the
Marchioness when she wishes to tell you she Is
about to depart In peace and she will call young
man she wishes TO describe as coyunis u fdHf, a
I'bfick;n and would-be grand gentleman Of
middle age an sold swell" There Is a decided
aoinQ Of the muscular and manly tone in all the
aristocratic women do and Ii seems best to assert
with their large, dashing bodies. They ride,
drive, boat, shoot, hunt, and even take hand at
cricket withal II does not much mar the eve
ning's dOings, and the aristocratic beauty can
loom out, nevertheless, grand In silken attire,
and sing and play the piano, as though she had
been milk-sopping ut home all d ~, reading sick
ly French romances
FATAL AcCIDENr.-The Baltimore American of
the says: The following are the particulars Of
fatal accident which occurred about eleven
turnpike, several miles from the city. IL appears
that a couple Of spirited animals attached to the
wagon Of Mr.. William Scott, vctualler, at Eli
cot's Mills, became frightened from some I'M
known cause and started of along the road at the
top Of their speed They did not proceed far
before they came In contact with a one-horse
buggy, driven by Mr.. Charles Timanus, Superin-
tendent Of the Asylum in course of erection near
Catonsville. The pole Of the wagon, which was
coupled with iron, struck Mr.. It. upon the back
Of the head with such violence TO crush the
skull and cause almost instant death. The de-
ceased leaves a wife and several children.
