A Very Old-Fashioned Man.


Newspaper men sometimes think that there
Is no desire for privacy left in society.
The habitual "axe-grinder' is of course al
ways hanging about great newspaper, SEEK
ing by means of some personal acquaintance,
whom he cultivates for this exclusive purpose,
to get his wares, projects outgoings and in
comings, and all that is his orgappertains to
a product of the publicity which a newspaper
can give as mosquitoes are of a marsh.
But aside from them the evidence multiplies
Of late that there are very few social activities
which the participants in do not like to see du-
ly recounted in the public journals.
The notion in these days seems to be that it
is scarcely worth while to go to the cost of en-
pertaining ones friends unless the community
in general can be made aware of the fact
The community in general may care very
little about this individual feasting and dane
ing and tea-drinking; no matter; the persons
whose stomachs have been filed and whose
legs have been exercised like to see their glori-
GUS exploits duly chronicled, and it appears
that there are now enough of them to create a
distinct demand which many of the newspa-
pers are willing to supply.
So far has this exposure of private vanity
gone that the reporters appear to have free ac-
cess to the invitation lists, of course with the
knowledge and approval of the hosts. 1t was
only yesterday that persons now residing in
Europe were duly announced as having been
present at social gatherings in this city on Sat
urday.
In view of this general drift of social matters
we scarcely need to say that we were surprised
this morning on receiving the following note:
IF you have any intention of so doing be kind
enough not to republsh the encl sed Ia society par
agraphl as 1 do not approve of making such triaes
public.
CONFIDENTIAL
The name of the writer of this note deserve
TO be published on account of the singularity
OF his sentiments. He really seems to hold
the old-fashioned opinion that private life is
private life, aud that legs can be crossed under
his mahogany without thereby creating any
right ON the part Of the public to know who
dined with him and what they ate and drank
Perhaps he is the exception that proves the
rule.

vision Of the Constitution Of this State, or by
any lawful act Of legislation, upon Probate
Courts, in cases Of sales Of the real estate OF
infants and iunatics, by their guardians or
conservators, is one ct vast Importance to
those purchasers OF lands, in the chain OF
whose title conveyances made under the or

doubt rs to the jurisdiction is one that de-
serves the especial attention of the Bar, whose
duty it is to obtain a decision of theSupreme
Court that will forever set all question at rest.
