Brief Hlnts Oh Manners and Etiquette.

A lady who goes into society with the
simple wish to please and be pleased, gen.
orally succeeds in both objects. She who
wishes to be welcome in society, must ex-
tinguish in herself the desire of "showinp

the majority Of the company can afford, is
not In keeping with the canons Of good
taste or breeding; but to be Indifferent to
dress is usually mark of excessive vanity
AS though one would say, 81 am charm
ing enough without the aid of outward
adornments." The usual forms of etiquette
arc the safeguards against impertinence,
and it is therefore best, in n miscellaneous
company, to observe them punctiiously.
10 be perfectly polite Is is only necessary
to be perfectly considcratc and iust-to
conform 10 the golden rule-to render all
their due respect, courtesy, and attention.
10 acquire elegance of manner, observe
those who possess 1t, and divine their Sec

good heart and little practice will do the
rest. The most graceful thing u person
can 40 In company, Is to pay attention to
those who are least likely to have attention
that Is, those whose friendship does not
confer honor, nor their conversation pleas
urc. Affectation Is the banc of social in
tcrcourse; all who would really please,
must avoid 1t entirely.

Hungarian Danco,

The Hungarian ball was crowded by the

DIOunt Vernon,

While every American has heard of
Mount Vernon. probably not one in hun
drcd knows whence it derived the name.
The unfortunate duke Of Monmouth had q
private secretary named Vernon, prudent,
sensible man of business. who, after the
dukes death, found favor in influential
quarters, and under William III. became
secretary of state. lie left n son, Edward
born 1884, who greatly against his fathers
wishes, entered tho navy, and serving with
early distinction, rose to the rank of adj
miral. In 1922 he was returned TO the House
of Commons, and having in July 1879,
declared there that Porto Bello might be
reduced with six sail Of the line, and that
he would stake his life and reputation on
tho success Of the expedition, he was sent
of with squadron to do it, succeeded, and
gave his men $40, 900, which had just ar.
rived to pay his troops. On returning home
he received the thanks of both Houses and
the freedom of the city of London, From
that time, however, his star declined. An
expedition to Carhagena, made two years
later, sgnally failed. Snollett, at that time
naval surgeon, accompanied the fleet, and
has told the story of 1t in Frederick Ran
dom," where he compares Vernon and Con.
Wentworth, who demanded the auxiliary
land force, to Cesar and Pompcy. "The
one, he says "would not brook superior,
while the other was impatient Of an equal;
80 that between the pride Of one and the in
science of another the enterprise miscarr-
cd" 1t was In the land force at Cartha-
gena that Lawrence Washington, Georges
elder brother by fourteen years, had served,
and apparently he esteemed Vernon, as he
gave his name to his home on the Potomac,
and procured a midshipman's appointment
for George. but his mothers intcrposition
ultimately prevented the boys availing
himself of 1t, albeitshe at frat consented.
Vernon popularity was 80 great that his nn-
lucky expedition does not seem to have af-
fccted 1t, and he was actually elected to
parliament for three places at once on his
return. Probably, his known hostility to
the government had much to do with this.
In TITO he was detailed TO watch the
North sea in view of a movement Of
the pretcnder's adhcrents. The next year
a serious squabble arose between him and
the government, resulting in his producing
two pamphlets, which 80 oxasperatcd tho
authorities that by tho kings express com.
mand he was struck Off tho list Of admirals.
He died In 1907, at his seat In Suffolk,
and wlthstapding his disgrace, a handsome
monument to him was erected In Westmin-
ster abbey. 1t was Vernon who brought
into use the custom of mixing water with
tho ration Of rum, which got the name Of
grog from his habit OF wearing grogam
waistcoat, and hence his nickname Of 'Old
Grog." Altogether, the man, who invented
grog, is buried in Westminster abbey, COM
memorated by Smolett, and gave q name
to WashiDgton's home, must be regarded
as no ordinary person.

a First Yator Senoritn,

about Il year ago, all Paris was talking
about Nine. Bertha dc Gonzalez, a Spanish
lsh scnorita Of the first water, who came to
us one day from Caetilc, lived in splendid
style for season, just long enough, in fact,
to make dupes and to disappear at the psy-
chClogical moment. She had q fine name
and fine fortune, to judge by her equip
ages. Her beauty was rcmarkablc; SHE
had sumptuous apartment In the rue Lord
byron, and she was a near relation TO Don
Carlos. This relationship opened before
her the most carefully Eoltcd doors of the
Faubourg Saint-Gcrmain. Then, too, she
was martyr for the good cause; she had
been driven out Of Spain by fulse and
cXecratcd government. So the lady was
well received IN France, and her dupcs were
numerous. Her property had been scqucs-
tratcd, and she had no money. An ecccsi-
astic who had made no VOWS OF, poverty put
his name to fifteen thousand francs worth
OF bills within three months he further
pawncd his gallery Of pictures and gave tho
money to the lady. Then, some complaints
having been made, Nine. Bertha Gonzalez
disappeared rs suddenly as she appeared,
taking with hcra brother who had protected
her during her stay in Paris. The police
tailed to discover any traces IF the fair
lady. The other day young lady, elegant
and beautiful, and speaking the French cor
rectly although she said that sllc was an
Italian, paid visit to the Commissaire do
Police OF tho Quarter du Roulc. She said
her name was Nine. Ginevra dc Piani, and
that hor chambermn!d had robbed her of
some diamonds. Tho chambornaid denied
the Charge, and tho Commissairc went to
visit the apartment of the plaintiff in the
Avenue Fricdland. Attcrhaving carefully
but vainly searched the servants room ho
began to search her mistrcss's apartment
There he was struck with the superb col
lection of paintings that lined the walls.
Suddenly he noticed Murillo OF great
value; he reflected a moment, and then he
remembered that that picture had belonged
to the priest whom wo have mentioned
above, and who had pawncd his pictures to
Il broker recommended by the lady. The.
end of the history is that Nine. de Plani is
Nine. dc Gonzalez, and that she is neither
Italian nor Spanish. She was born Mt Bat
lgnollcs. The brother was a Pole, and hc
was not her brother. The lady is now in
prison.

An Oil City man took home some arsenic
the other day for rats. He opened tho
package on the table wh.re he sat down,

with a sad expression he said: '.Dearcst,
l'vc got tired Of living and have taken some
Of this arsenic, and" But his wife dart
ed opt so suddenly and screamed 80 loudly
that he didn't finish the sentence. Her
fright caused him 80 much merriment that
when the ncighbors, whom his wife called
came in hc was nearly doubled up with
laughter. The next moment they seized
him, threw him on the lounge and tried to
force couple OF raw eggs down his throat.
He spit them out and attempted to explain,
but six:foot neighbor sat down on his
stomach and grabbed the man's 8 nostrils be-
tween his fingers and before they, lot him
up they had made him swallow half.a-
dozen raw eggs, a pint OF, whisky, a quart
OF soap-suds and half-d.dozen other rene
dies. They poured 30 much stuff down his
throat In five minutes that 1t took him half
q day to throw 1t up, and he came out of
tho struggle 80 hollow that when his wife
slapped him OF, the back 1t sounded like a
bass drum.

being taught to antedatc this triumph of
experimental sagacity, though only by Q

At Marly-la-Ville, about eighteen miles
from Paris, on the road to PontoiBe, N.
Dalibard possessed country house, stand
ing on high plain, some 400 feet above the
sea level. Here wooden scaffolding was
erected, supporting an iron rod eighty feet
long, and little more than an inch thick.
At about five feet from the ground this rod
was connected with an electrical apparatus.
Shortly after tho whole was fixed, on May
10, 1859 (ifty-fve days before the obser-
vation at Philadelphia) thunderstorm
came on. M.tDalibard was absent In Paris,
but he had left the apparatus In charge of, o
faithful sentinel, one Of his servants, an old
soldier, Collier by name, with full instruc-
tions. Coifllor presented to the conductor
an iron key with the, handle bound In silk,
and was thus tho first human observer who
