The Richest Women In America.
Atlanta Constitution.

The richest woman III America, and
indeed, excepting royalty and Baroness,
Burdett-C outts, the richest in the world,
is Mrs. +. H. Green, the wife of the
Vice President of the Louisville and
Nashville road. She was q Miss Robin
son, and her father was q whaling-mas-
ter mt New Bedford. He owned fleet
of ships known as the blue line OF
whalers, and from his profession was
known as "Blubber Robinson" He
died when his daughter was a mere girl
and left her o fortune of about 5000
600. She lived slenderly and prudent
", and gave the management of her al
fairs to Mr.. John J. Cisco. As her tastes
were simple and her wants few, she
was able to transfer her enormous In
come almost every year to the body OF
the fortune itself, and it has now accu-
mulated tomore than S27 100000. Hel
husband, Mr.. Green, was a very rich
man when she married him, and has
been successful since. 1t is said by one
who should know that the income o.
this couple is s., 100000 year. Mr.
Green is rather large in stature, quiet
reserved, sagacious, and of modest hab.
its. He is about AZ years of age, and
she is about IS.
The richest young ladies in New
York are the Misses Garner, the daugh-
tiers of Commodore Garner, who was
drowned under yacht thot overturned
a few years ago. He made his fortune
in Wall street, and upon his death was
able to leave his daughters 100000
or 5000, 900 each. Added TO this they
are charming and beautiful young la
dies.

Manners i'm America.
From the Nation.

Manners with us are more or less
consciously regarded as Il subtle COM

long passed when it was possible to
identify the number of Americans at a
foreign hotel by counting the feet on
the veranda rail and dividing them by
two" in spite of what We read in foreign
papers of the demeanor or our travel
inv countrymen. Nevertheless, it can
hardly vet be maintained that in the
mass we illustrate elegance as eminent
" as we do more sterling qualities; and
this is due not to the strictly material
character of our Civilization, perhaps so
much as to the rapidity of its growth
and the necessity of attending first of all
to the substantially Of the structure
rather than the grace of the decoration
of a new society. The American test
of q casual stranger who very likely i
going his way the next moment, is still,
for example, not his civilty, but his sin
cerity. If his talk has genuine ring
and his behavior a genuine air about 1t,
their acceptability is assured. Our code
in this respect is still that of the mining
camp, though of a diluted intensity.
OF course, we somehow leeI

dentials in a New York drawing-room

to ask themselves upon meeting him for

Paris Gradually Invaded by the Amer
leans.


Native society, apt to seclude itself at
each change of government, and dlvld-
ed into intinitesimal coterics, has grad
llally found that its place was usurped
by the foreigner. Formerly Il stranger
in Paris could not fill his or her salons;
no entertainment was sufficiently at
tractive unless it was organized by some
well-known Partisan, who issued the in
vitations and presided over the soiree.
Things have changed materially with
the last fifteen wears The very best
hotels in Paris belong to Americans;
the choicest boxes at the opera are
owned by them, and the most hand
some equipages in the Bots de Boulogne
have the simple monogram of some
rich transatlantic trader who has made
his fortune and come to Paris like some
nabob. Fashionable milhners and dress
makers have done something toward
placing the American colony III such Il
prominent position, but money has been
the lever which has opened the once

the American lies in the fact that there
is very strong esprit dc corps prevailing

LAWN TENNIS.
some Amendments to the Rules of the
Fashionable Came.

Lawn tennis has steadily increased in
popularity since its introduction into
this country, and this summer will
doubtless be the flvorite of out-of-door
game. The influence of the Tennis Club
in New York city has been sufficient to
familiarize the public with the game
and the rules governing it. The rules
adopted by the Marylebone Club, of
England, are the accepted authority,
and last March some important chang
es were then made i'll them for this year
These amendments have been generally
adopted by tennis clubs and tennis-play-
ers, and We print them for the benefit
of the lovers of the game in this
vicinity:
In the single handed game the height
of the net ut the posts is reduced to 4
feet (the hight in the center being the
same as before, and the service-line is
brought in to the distance of21 feet from
the net (instead of % feet.
The limits of variation in the size and
weight of the balls has been reduced
they must now vary only from p to
2 GIG inches in diameter, and from i
ounces to ounces in weight
The law that good service. when the
striker-out is not ready, annuls a previ-
Gus fault, is repealed, and service,
whether good or a fanlt, so delivered,
will in future count for nothing.
A return in which the ball touches
the net is still considered good; but IF
ball served touch the net, the service
provided it to be otherwise good counts,
for nothing"
1t is expressly forbidden to either
player to touch the net during the
play" and also TO 'volley the ball be-
fore it has passed the net, on penalty Of
losing the stroke"
An alteration has been made in the
law affecting the change of sides at the
end of each set, by which "the umpire
on appeals from either party, before the
toss for choice, may direct the players
to change sides and the end of every
game, if in his opinion either side have
a distinct advantage owing to the sun,
wind or any other accidental cause; but
if the appeal be made after the match
has begun the umpire can only direct
the players to change sides at the end
of every game Of the odd and eonclud-
ing set"
III tllS Hty lilS Oul III tiit COulb lOI inc
three-handed and four-handed games
an important change has been made,
with the view of moderating the SUI
premacy of the service; within the side
lines, at distance of four and one
half feet from them, and parallel with
them, are drawn into service side lines
The service line on each side of the net
is not drawn beyond the points at
which it meets these service side lines
By this arrangement the server will
have precisely the same area to serve
into in the three-handed and four hand
ed games as in the single-handed game,
and his partner will not have so great an
advantage as hitherto in standing close
mp to the net

isiactien to reflect that this attitude
could not be unafiectedly assumed by
any society that did not set high val
ne upon morals, and possibly there is q
natural and inevitable connection be-
tween an elaborate development of
manners and the vices of polished so
ciety. At the same time it involves ut
least two results which have their disad-
vantagcs One is a concentration upon
the significance rather than the form of
everything which attends social inter-
course, and the other paradoxical ten
dency to thevery social hypocracy which
is popularity supposed to be the concom-
liant solely of the veneer of conven-
tions. The first explains the prodigious
amount of horse play" which, though
inherited from an Anglo-Saxon ances-
try, has here been carried to develop
ment and even refinement elsewhere
quite unknown. With no other people,
probably, is rudeness so purely relative
a thing; in taking no offense where none
is meant, and conveying none in spite
of every indication to the contrary.
Americans display an unerring skill

fine phrases is thereby sacrificed, there
is recompense in the implicit conf
dence reposed i'll the entente presup-
posed, which is not unlike that of a
large family-itself proverbially mot q
civilspoken thing" The social hypoc-,
raey alluded to is not difficult Of ex-
PLANTATION. The feeling that character
rather than manners is in question in
social intercourse is entertained Just
consciously enough to make this an in
tensely personal affair-a result power
fully contributed to by the extreme IN
trospectiveness that distinguishes Amer

understand from this the inquiry once
made by an observing and candid
Frenchman: "Why is it that AmeIi-

moral tournaments customary with us
than his surprised auditor had of the
possibilities of impersonal conversation

could not have fulfilled it better. As an
advocate, politician, senator, chief JUS
tice and statesman he was one of the
most correct and thorough men of the

his ambition easily satisfied but his
sense of acquitting himself well over

patient and powerful. Such minute
