Gleanings from the Mails.

1t is announced from Moscow that Henri
Wieniawski the Polish violinst is dead.
Wieniawski was born in Lublin or Lubelsk, a
Polish town some ninety-fve'miles from War
saw, July 10, 1885. His mother was sister of
the composer Edward Wolff, who carried his
young nephew, at the age of eight, to Paris.
He was there admittedto the conservatory and
was instructed on the violin by Clavel and
Massart. AT the age of twelve young Wieni-
awski carried off the first prize and began to
study harmony under Colet. He made rapid
advancement and at seventeen appeared in
concert In 1872 he came to America with
Rubenstein. They appeared together in a
series of concerts throughout the United States,
winning unqualified praise wherever they
went. In 1876 Wieniawski was made Profess
sor at the Brussels Conservatory, but of late
years his mind became greatly impaired and he
was at last consigned to charity hospital,
where he no doubt died.

A Letter Writer.
The Curious Profession Adopted by a
New York Lady.

The New York Evening Post has discovered
a new occupation of most romantic nature
in the metropolis. 1t is that of little woman
whose business it is to write notes for fashion,
able women whose Incidence or lack of skill in
penmanship or in the art of epistolary compo-
sition forbids them to write notes for them
selves. She has many clients. Some of them
engage her for specified hours of each day to
write whatever notes there may be occasion to
send, while others employ her only upon par
ticular occasions when there is more writing
than usual to be done. Her experiences are
varied and interesting. Sometimes she has to
prepare answers to notes that she herself has
written; upon few occasions, when invita-
tations not yet received were known to be COM
ing, she had to prepare answers to them at one
house before writing them at another, but be-
ing discreet little body she keeps her own
counsel in such cases, and does not reveal the
nature of the replies already prepared, to the
client whose invitations they are meant to ans
wer. The Post adds:
This obscure worker knows how to turn
sentences cleverly; she can say graceful things
gracefully; she can write note which sparkles
all over with good humor and effects its pur-
pose. This is her skill, her equipment, her
capital in life. OF its kind it is as genuine as
any. The things she knows how to do are
things that need to be done. There is as posi-
tive a need for her skill as for that of the
plumber-if we may imagine plumber who
really has skill-and, however completely
without recognition her business may be among
trades and professions, it is as legitimate as
any. There are women who cannot write the
notes and letters required of them with salts
faction to themselves, and other women who
can do so, but dislike the occupation, and
many of them are glad to pay for the service.
The professional letter writer has managed to
turn it to account in securing employment for
herself >,

Exclusiveness of English Manufac-

One of the first things usually remarked by
foreign mechanic coming to this country is
the readiness with which he obtains admission
70 any of our manufacturing establishments.
To suppose he will be allowed, as is usual here,
to freely walk about the premises and enter
the different shops and departments Of almost
any large factory, simply as visitor, without
Intervention of some influential friend with
out the necessity of feeling the "gateman," and
not needing to assume any disguise is so en-
tirely different from his preconceived ideas,
and the habits and notions in which he has
been brought up, that he is generally greatly
astonished. At first, too, especially if he be
an Englishman, he is apt to think such lib
erty of inspection may be meant as an especial
distinction, conferred upon him under the sup
position that he is person of more importance
than he rates himself, until he becomes suffi-
GENTLY well acquainted with the usages of the
country to understand that such freedom is
hardly counted an especial privilege. The
customs of European manufacturers generally,
and of those in Great Britain particularly, are
all against this way of doing business. To OBJ
tain admission to almost any of the large
manufacturing establishments is generally a
matter of great deal of difficulty, to effect
which it is often necessary to consult the head
of the firm, present formal letters of introduc-
ton, and have passes come down from one to
another through several different function
aries 1t is difficult to see why this should be
so marked popularity in all kinds of bus-
ness in England, except it be on the principle
that many of the long established houses rath-
er arrogate to themselves from their age and
financial strength position somewhat similar
to that which the accident of birth gives to
their aristocracy-thu making an "aristoc-
racy of trade as it were.-American.

Our Reform Councillors.

1t appears that Governor Garcelon's Coun-
cillors not only invented new method of
counting election returns, but also discov-
cred way of circumventing the law forbid
ing the payment to themselves of double
mileage. To the latter problem they gave
their attention soon after they were elected,
and while the House of Representatives was
ringing with shouts of reform and the sala-
ries of all State and County officers were
being scrutinized in the interest of economy.
What particular Councillor solved the prob
lem is not known. 1t may have been Chase,
it may have been Fogg, or it may have been
Parker, who on account of living farthest
from the capital had the most interest in its
solution, or it may have required the COM
bined brains of the whole seven. 1t was
solved however, and the Councillors had the
satisfaction of putting considerable money
them.
The first session of the Executive Coun-
Gil begins on the day of the Inauguration of
the State Government, and continues till
the adjournment of the Legislature. The
pay of each Councillor is $3.50 and mileage.
The Legislature of 1879 convened on the 1st
of January and adjourned on the 9Th of
March. The Council, to secure double mile
age, made up their pay roll to February 2Sth,
and then continued in session till the Sth of
March. The three days after the 5th they
called a new session and charged not only
their 50 per day, but also mileage, though
they had not been away from the capital
This process of splitting up session which
was really continuous was continued
throughout the Councils term of office. 1t
worked to a charm.
The records show that the Council was in
continuous session from the 18th day of
November to the 31st day of December, but
this period is split up in the pay roll into
three sessions, thus enabling the Councillors
to draw mileage three times. Between No
vember 22d and oath, 1.-THE intervening day
being Sunday,) on both of which days the
Council, according to the records, was in ses-
Sion, Councillor Parker seems to have made
trip to Aroostook as he is allowed $75 in
the payroll for 375 miles of travel which
must have been made on the 23d, as he was
in Augusta on the 22d and oath. As Coun-
cillor Parker is vouched for by Fusionists as
an honorable man, of course he must have
achieved the feat of travelling 375
miles on Sunday with no trains running.
In the interest of science, however, he ought
to make known to the world the means by
which he accomplished it. Perhaps he is in
the secret of the Kelley motor.
The Bangor Wing, from which the
facts narrated above are taken, intimates
that double mileage was not the only illegal
sums drawn by the Councillors, or by some
of them at least

Prince Demidoff in Society.
Paris Letter to Whitehall Times.l

lfarS LeIler 10 WHltendu IlneS
A brilliant contingent of social notabilities
has taken advantage of the relative tranquilli-
ty of Lent to fly to Florence to attend the San
Donate sale. Paul Demidoff wrote to friend
of mine not long back that he was anxious the
sale should take place with all possible speed,
and that he would make any sacri-
fee to avoid delay He is, as every
one knows who remembers him some
years back in Paris, the most impetuous and
hot-headed of men, and, all things being con-
sidered it is likely that the great sale will not
bring in all the money it might. have said
Paul Demidcff was impetuous; l might per-
haps use stronger expression, for his habits
were not altogether those generally in use in
society. At his dinner parties he would con-
stantly have certain wines and dishes served
to himself alone, and thought nothing of sud-
denly ordering a window to be opened, adding
coolly, "Anyone who doesn't like it can
leave!''
As matter of fact, Paul Demidoff was nev-
er popular man in Paris, and his disappear
ance caused no regret, the famous affair in
which he was mixed up and which ended in
the severe ducking in public fountain, of
man whose name 1 will not mention, going
long way to discourage social Paris from at
tempting further the civilization of the young
Muscovite When the Princess Mathilde was
asked what she had found most to admire in
her husband Anatole Demidoff, she replied,
sarcasticaly, "The size and quality of his pre-
cious stones" and 1 think if Paul Demidoffs
former companions in Paris were asked what
they liked most about him they would unani-
mously say His check book"
The following will give some idea of his wit:
A friend showed him once some sleeve-llnks
in malachite, and knowing that he was
judge, asked him his opinion. Demdoff
glanced at them supercliously "They suit
you admirably; I have two doors of exactly
the same quality His great wealth and, /
must in all fairness add, generosity, induced
many people to pardon what after all may have
been only faults of training and education.
The power of wealth, in fact, increases every
day, and by degrees, even the most exclusive
coteries are becoming more and more accessi-
bic to those who possess the golden key. which
nowadays opens most doors. A salon like that
of Madame de Swetchine would be almost i'm
possible.
