What is called the higher circles OF society in
New York must be queerly constituted. Not
long ago we were RECALLED with an account Of a
supper party at a we'll known restaurant, and
attended by wealthy and prominent people.
which gradually drifted into drunken carou-
sal, and finally wound up in the station house,
where one OF the lady guests charged the gen
tleman seated by her with stealing some jewelry
from her belt Satchel. That was bad enough
but worse remains. 1t is now reported on the
best authority that at swell dinner recently
given lat the residence OF a family well known
In the wealthiest and most fashionable circles,
In one of the uptown side streets near Fifth
avenue an emerald and diamond ring worth
$1,000, which was taken from her finger by the
hostess TO show TO one OF the guests started on
tour Of Inspection around the table and never
again reached its owners hands little more
OF this sort OF thing, and il will be an honorable
distinction 10 belong to one of the second fami-
lies OF that city OF snobs.

The friends of Geaeral Fitz John Porter have
labored earnestly to prevent any question of
politics from becoming mixed up with the bill
TO restore him to the army; but it looks now as
Ii such efforts are to result in failure. Senator
Logan's minority report from the Senate mill
tary committee maintains the justice of the
verdict of the cOurt-martiaI which dismissed
Porter from the army, and argues that it would
be reflection upon the honor and integrity OF
the officers who composed that court to reverse
what they did 1t is stated, upon good authority,
too, that General Garfield, who was a member
Of the court-martial, will deliver in the House
speech defending its course and verdict and as
sailing Porter. The latter's friends cannot
reply 10 Logan's report or to Garield's speech
without attacking the court-martial and this
will open up one of the most bitter partisan dis
cussionS that has been heard in Congress for
long time. Senator who Is warm friend o
General Porter remarked, only few days ago
that he was anxious to avoid all discussion, be.
cause ''if we are forced into one," said he, lit
will be so bitter"

The Cincinnati Enquirer says it is nonsense
to talk OF nominating Bayard for the presidency
because the western democrats will never
touch him. The men who advocate the nomi-
nation OF Mr. Bayard by the democratic con-
ventiOn agree with the Enquirer that he Is not
strong in the west, but his weakness In that
section is the main cause of his strength in the
east. Bayard is not popular with western dem
ocrats because of the financial stand he mas
taken. but 1t is this more than anything else,
that makes him strong in the east. The En-
qatir'ef' will have to produce some better argu-
ment than is here quoted to affect the Bayard
boom. His friends argue that II is absurd to
take the west into the calculation at all, be-
cause, outside of Indiana, there is not the least
chance OF the party carrying any western state.
They maintain that the democracy of Indiana
cannot set its wishes and theories up In opposi-
ton to those of the other democratic states and
of the democracy of states that may be carried
for the ticket. The indications are that the
influence OF the eastern democracy will be ex-
erted with as much effect upon the coming con-
vention as In those of the past in spite of pro-
test and growls from the western democrats.
A very prominent democrat, and one whose
high position In the party organization gives
extra weight to his words, said recently: "When
the western democrats can give any assurance
OF helping us with some electoral votes they
will be entitled to a voice In making up the
ticket. AS 1t Is. they are hopele5Sly in the NIL
nority, except in Indiana, and the democrats of
that state will support the ticket whether they
like it or mott Taking the democratic senti-
ment as TO the composition of a Ticket as it Is
represented in Congress. and it is plain that it
largely fayOrs the selection of an eastern man
for the presidential nominee. This sentiment is
divided between Tflden, seymour. Bayard, Han
cock Mcclellan and several others. but none of
the Congressman who now favor these gentle
men mention any western men as their second
choice

The proposition 10 reduce the duty on steel
rails has divio d the ways and means commit
tee on party lii IS, the democrats fayorlng and
the republicans opposing 1t. The result will
probably be minority report, signed by the
democrats, recommending a new tariff of sl4 a
ton, and minority report by the republicans
in favor OF maintaining the present tariff of S2S
per ton. The division. in the House on the ques-
uon VIII not be entirely upon party lines though
nearly all the democrats will favor reduced
tarin, and nearly all the republicans Will oppose
it. There Will be enough western republicans
70 vote for reduction to Offset the Pennsylva-
MA democrats who will vote against it, and the
House will be pretty evenly divided On the
question.

Next week there will be a vacation of the Prescott school. At the Tc-comine eaccmcnr oi tlic same, important changes will take place. Mss Sherman, who las gained, hy long and careful attention dcyliYing upon her as a teacher, the confidence. admi- ration and esteem of her sch0iaIs as well ls ihe crtire community, retircs, and Miss DIaning, one of the most efficient teachers that has ever been employed iH rgr public schools. succeeds Miss Sherman in thc in tcrmcdia'c department. The primary class. about fifty in number, will have a new ! teacher in inc person If Miss Gulliyer. THEY CoNE.-Among the passengers to arrive in San Francisco en tue 21th inst W observe the names of Miss NJ. \. Rus,l, Boon vile. Mo, and Chas. E. Rush and wife. Prescott, Arizona. This tells the story which has been tacitly understood for some time, but now takes more tangabic shape by appearing m print, viz; that Charley's visit to the states had more significance than the mere purchase of biooded cattle, ard that the beautiful cottage adi1ining thcrcsidence of Geo. W. Curtis is nO, being built for a play house. Miss VI X. Rush is, We pre- sumo. sister, or other relative, accompany Ing Charley and lls wife on their wedding tour.
 Mrs. C. \. Luke, we learn from her nephew, MT. Frank Luke, had a surgical operation performed in San FranciSco on Sunday last, removing tumor, which has been developing itself for several years Telegram came on Monday, stating that the operation Lad been performed, and that Mrs. Luke was dying. On Tuesday, yls;er- day, however, another telegram came, which is more hopeful, although stated that the case was desperate and the chances of re- covery very slight This is certainly sad news for the friends of this very excellent lady. It is 10 te hoped that the case is not 50 bad as represented, and that Mrs. Luke may recover from her atiiiciion and return to Arizona hearty and well, long 10 enjoy ihe society of her relatives and Iunumersbie friends.

That Solution.
