TORToIsE-sHELL ORNAMENTS
OLD ENGLIAH MANNERS.
Iecky's New English History.

In the beginning Of the eighteenth century,
intern perance was not so prevalent, but the
amount Of hard drinking among the upper
classes was still very great, and It is remark
able how many Of the most conspicuous char
acters we're addicted to It. Addison, the FORE
most moralist Of his time, was not free from
1t. Oxford, whose private character was In
most respects singularly high, is said to have
come not unfrequentiy drunk into the very
presence of the Queen: Bollngbroke. when In
Office sat up whole nights drinking, and in the
morning, having bound a wet napkin round his
forehead and his eyes, to drive away the effects
OF his intemperance, FASTENED. without sleep,
to his official business. When Walpole was q
young man, his father was accustomed to
pour into his glass double portion OF wine,
saying, "Come, Robert, you shall drink twice
while drink once; for will not permit the
son, in his sober senses, to be witness of the
produced its natural fruits, and the entertain
ments OF the Minister at Houghton were the
scandal OF the county, and often drove Lord
Townshend from his neighboring seat Of
Rainham. The brilliant intellect OF Carteret
was clouded by drink, and even Pulteney,
who appears In his later years to have had
stronger religious convictions than any other
politician Of his time is said to have short
ened his life by the same means.
The impunisy with which outrages were
committed in the ill-lit and ill-guarded
streets Of London during the first half OF the
eighteenth century caa now hardly be real
lied In 17i2 d ub Of young men Of the
higher classes, who assumed the name of
Mohocks, were accustomed nightly to stray
out drunk into the streets, to hunt the
passers-by, and to subject them In mere
wantonness to the most atrocious outrages
One OF their favorite amusements, called
Tipping the lion," was to squeeze the nose
of their victim fiat upon his face, and
to bore out his eyes with their fingers;
Among them were the Sweaters who formed
circle around their prisoner and pricked him
with their swords till he sank exhausted to
the ground; the dancing masters" so-called
for their skill in making men caper by thrust
ing swords into their legs; the "tumblers,"
whose favorite amusement was to set women
on their heads, and commit various indecencies
and barbarites on the limbs that were exposed.
Maid-servants as they opened their masters
doors were waylaid, beaten, and their faces cut
Matrons, inclosed in barrels were rolled down
the steep and stony incline of Snow Hill.
Watchmen were numerically beaten and
their noses slit. Country gentlemen went to
the theatre as If in time of war; accompanied
by their armed retainers A bishops son was
said to be one OF a gang and baronet was
among those who were arrested. The afro
cious fashion passed away but other, though
comparatively harmless, rioters were long
accustomed to beat the watch, to break the
citizens windows and to insult the passers-
by, while robberies multiplied to fearful
extent

Talking of gentlemen's fashions, an East
ern paper says: Evening costumes vary but
little in general. Nevertheless, there are
some details to be noted. Blue frock coat,
but without metal buttons, white vest. and
black satin cravats for rather informal din
ners. For full dress are worn the black dress
coat, black pantaloons, white cravat and
vest black silk stockings, and low. shoes,
day. Watch chains are no longer worn in
the evening nor any iewelry. The watch is
slipped into the pantaloons pocket. Mascu-
line lingerie admits OF no ornament what
nor pleated bosoms nor anything else-all
the elegance consisting In the perfection Of
its cut. The absolutely straight collar has
dethroned the rolled one. The turned-down
collar is not etiquette for the evening. In
certain extremely elegant circles there has
been adopted for weddings the English
fashion OF the blue frock coat, with light
pantaloons white vest, and fancy cravat

THE sOCEALEs Ts.

The Central Club of the Socialistic Labor
party assembled rs usual yesterday at Tur-
ners' Hall, some sixty people being In attend.
ance The routine business was limited to
the reading of minutes and a resolution, which
resolution declares that whereas the DEMO-
| GRAFT reporter and others COMPOUNDED the So
cialists with the Communists. it is resolved
! that they are separate and distinct. 1t is also
resolved that the Soclalistie party can have no
utilization with the National party until the
latter shall have adopted the platform of the
Socialists
Mr.. Pemberton spoke at some length In
support OF the resolution, which was adopted
Mr.. John Roy now took the floor to answer
articles on Socialism, published In the DEMO
CRAT. The reading Of the articles was at
tended by repeated applause on the part of
q son OF Erin, who is evidently Democrat.
me analysis and criticism of Mr.. Roy was
amiable and In many respects compliment
airy to the writer of the articles, particularly
when referring to that portion of the article
published on Saturday which says "Any
political organization based on distinction
OF nationality or race Is so foreign to the
genius and spirit of our institutions that it is
bound to come to grief" Mr.. Roy thought that
with such sentiments the DEMOCRAT ought
to go over to the Socialists. These sentiments
were those of the Socialists and the writer of
the DEMOCRAT had uttered them better than
the Socialists could have done themselves
be thought, however, that other portions of
the. articles were calculated to create dis
turbance within the Socialist camp
Mr.. Gesler, In his turn, took up the DEMO
GRAF articles and In emphatic but polite
terms eviewed them at length, opposing TO
them well known SoCialistic doctrines.
Judge Il. North Cullom. a member of the
National party, was the next speaker The
drift of his exordium appeared to be an en-
deavor TO prove that the doctrines of the
Nationals are identically the same as those of
the Socialists. The remainder of the speech
consisted, In great part, of statistics showing
the annual increase of the Federal debt the
poverty of the country and arguments In
favor of q Greenback currency and against |
the bonded debt.

sUB-COMMETTFE NOTES.

The news from Mr.. Potter. of the con
gressional committee, Is that since the com.
mittee in Washington adjourned to Atlantic
City for the twenty-third instant. he would
not have time to reach this city and take any
satisfactory part in the investigation. be.
cause his time is too limited TO get back in
time. He therefore will not come down.
1t has been suggested in committee circles
that, owing to the dense crowd that pack the
ladies parlor during the sessions of Che com
mittee, they admit only the managers OF
either party, the press and the witnesses
1t has been learned from very good author
ity that Mr.. Il. i. Weber. after giving His
testimony before the committee, received in
sultlng letters, and one of threatening char.
acter, This looks as If the Radical wounded
were trying to kick before death 1t is USE
less for any one to try to bulldoze q witness
who has testified before the COMMITTEES. for
the days of Radical rule are forever gone.
Such attempts will bring only justice on the
heads OF those attempting it.
Mr.. e. L. Weber arrived last evening from
his home, bringing with him mass Of docu-
mentary evidence to substantate his testi-
mOny as given last week.
1t Is reported that there are q number of
Radical spies haunting the st. Charles Hotel
during the committees work, whose business
1t Is to tamper with prospective witnesses.
