Our FashIonabIe PeopIe.

Our fashionable people, whether they
have set up to be nothing if not" fash
ionable, or have been born into the posi-
tion without particular effort on their
part, are really nothing except fashion
able. Beyond that and their wealth they
have no substance and standiag Mr..

But the Duke is something besides a
swell. He is a political power; latent,
perhaps, but always potential and pos

The whole English nation has share, so
to speak, in the English Duke. The
Knickerhocker gentleman belongs only
to his own set, which is rather his society
than society in a generally recognized
sense. But the reader may object again:
This is q very narrow view to take of
good society, which does not mean fash

gent men, scholars, artists, professors,
literary ladies, brains, etc. Just so but

A man was hanged the other day at
San Francisco for murder with weapon
of peculiarly dangerous and for long
time mysterious nature. This is sand
club, formed by filing sn eel skin with
sand. When this instrument was first
brought into use the authorities were
greatly puzzled by deaths, apparently
from violence, yet no marks could be
found OF tie outside of the body. A
burglar was finally captured with sand
club in his possession made out Of an eel
skim stuffed with stand. Being closely
questioned, he explained its use. When
the victim is struck, for instance, on the
head. be drops insensible and soon dies
from congestion of the brain. Often the
skull suffers no injury from the stFoke,
and if the person struck reoovers sensl-
bility he gradually relapses into acondi-
ton of idioey. Sometimes a man struck
in the body will be knocked down by the
peculiar force OF the blow, and feel no
Immediate results from It. IN a few
weeks, however, the flesh will begin to
mortify under the line Of the blow, and
rot down to the bone. Heller, the cele-
brated pianist, is supposed to have met
his death in Mexico from a stroke Of this
diabolical weapon.

In st. Petersburg recently the editor
Of daily newspaper, being much inn
pressed with the prevalence of drunken
ness, determined to instruct the public
mind on the subject, and with this view
took an excursion into the country TO
collect facts on the subject. There he
found two typical villages-one, where
there was no tavern, all order and thrift;
the other, where the tavern was con-
spicuous object, all poverty, misery, dis
ease and dirt. On this he wrote a pow
erful article, making an appeal to right
minded persons to do what they could to
mitigate this evil, but he unfortunately
brought it to close by asking, Where
are the clergy, and why do they not
preach against drunkenness2" The pc
lice authorities, being unable to answer
this home question. gave it up, aud set
tied the difficulty summarily by sup
pressing the edition of the paper in which
the article was to appear.
