THE BELLE OIL THE BALL.


Largrey Dean, in her last novel, describes
the simplicity of some of the European
ladies as follows: " An American girl would
have stood amazed at fashionable lawn
party which once attended, where all the
ladies were in the simplest of pretty calico
and cotton dresses. Ladies whose family
jewels would have stocked q shop, and
whose inherited laces were of priceless value,
wore in the streets, on these occasions
dresses that IN American girl would scorn
to wear ON the beach ut Newport on Sun
day morning because of their simplicity. In
Vienna / went to a young baroness to try
on the dress size was having made to wear
at the afternoon ball TO be given at the
Emperor's school for the education of officers
SONS. She was twenty and had 100000
forms in her own right, had been brought
up with the Enperor's children for a time,
when her father had been aide-de-camp,
and the jewels she had inherited and were to
come to her dazzled ne when spread out
for my seeing one day. l had fancied her
dress to be something very elegant. Imag-
inc my surprise when it proved to be a
dainty cotton Saline, so cents yard in
America. But she was the belle of the ball. /"

A HANGING IN LONDON.

After the sentence of death has been pass
ed the condemned person is at once placed
in solitary confinement, where he remains
under close surveillance until the time OF his
execution arrives. When the fatal day ar
rives the paraphernalia of death il brought
forth in the shape of movable scafold,
which is kept in convenient place ready
for service and hardly week goes by that
it ia not used The executions all take place
in the jail yard, which is a paved court sur
rounded by high stone wall. The scaffold
is surrounded by rope ten or twelve feet
distant on all sides, to keep back the few
spectators. When the appointed time ar
rives which Is generally about ~ o'clock in
the day, the condemned man is led from his
cell accompanied only by priest or preach
or, according TO the creed of the condemned,
and single guard. Standing upon the
raised platform, awaiting their coming, is
the man who is to do the work which re-
quires so much fortitude and physical conr-
age to carry out. He is dressed in plain
black clothing, and his face Is covered with
black domino. When the condemned man
Is placed over the trap, short time SAY ten
minutes---is allowed the priest to offer up
prayer for the rest of the soul of the depart
ing man then his arms and legs are firmly
bound, the black cap placed over his head,
the moose properly adjusted around his
neck, the lever pulled, and the man drops
through the trap about four feet and all is
over with him. When the prison doctor
pronounces life extinct the body is cut down
and taken into receptacle under the Jail
and buried in quick lime, which causes its
almost immediate decomposition. There
you have the end Of an English murder in
London.

ABOUT FEES ABROAD.

travelling correspondent of the Troy
Press relieves his feelings upon the subject
of fees in the following manner: The CIV
ing of fees to walters and others who per.
form trifing services for travellers is pt,zzling
TO Americans. They have had no experience
in such things Chipping, SO universal in
Europe, is unknown in the United States.
Some Americans look upon the whole bust
ness as species of pocket-picking and are
quite indignant at the thought that Gus
tom which they hold to be contemplate, is
SO generally followed. They never give
graciously. There is another class who rec
ognize and readily fall in with the custom of
hecountry. Usually they are most troubledto
know how much to give, and they are prone
to overdo ito pay silver where native
would disburse copper. The amount of thu
fee is never less than penny for anything
Where an Enghshman would pay from II
penny to threepence and be doing the prop
per thing, an American would give double
money. He would not be any better served
the second time for his generosity. On the
contrary, the manifest greenness of the
stranger would be temptation to chisel him.
In France the payment of fees to walters,
drivers, &C., is obligatory and is as much a
matter of course as the charge of cent or
two extra for napkin at restaurant. An
untraveled American would as soon expect
to be charged for the use Of the dishes on
the table as for the napkin, but the custom
is quite general all over continental Europe.
And why not 2 The governing principle that

HOW oHINAMEN GET WIVES.

An Australian Chinaman, when anx-
ious to get wife of his own nation, sends a
letter to an agent in Hong Kong. The fol-
lowing is a condensed translaticn of one Of
these epistles: 81 want wife. She must
be a maiden under twenty years of age, and
must not have left her fathers house. She
must have never read q book, and her eye
lashes must be half an inch in length Her
teeth must be as sparkling as the pearls of
Ceylon. Her breath must be like unto the
scents Of the magnificent, odorous groves of
Java, and her attire must be from the silken
weavers of the Ka Itching, which are on
the banks of the greatest river in the world
the eyerfowing Yangtse-Kiang." The

A MODERN IRISH BATTLE.

describing how, during the last armed upris-
ing in Ireland in 1866, 800 peasants, with

A DIPLOMATIC AUDIENCE.

The Washington correspondent Of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat writes The other
night while the inimitable Raymond was
going through the absurdties of his new
play FRESH the American six of tho most
interested spectators in front row were
that many Mandarins of the Chinese Lega-
ton. The gay young diplomats paid the
most respectful attention to the explanatory
chambermaid scenes, but when the realistic
love-making began, each Mandarin straight
ened up and leaned forward with open-eyed
interest. At the first resounding kiss the
Fresh bestowed upon his bride, there was a
low-voice chatter among the group, and the
interpreter was kept busy whispering to them
the progress Of the play. They were the po-
litest of playgoers- left their seats
between the acts, nor disturbed their neigh
bors half AZ much as the native citizens
around them, while their countenances were
something well worth watching as the situa-
tons and denouements of the comedy pro-
crossed. When the curtain dropped they
turned their attention to the ladies near
them, and as they were handsome young
men, with the soft, velvety eyes of the
Orient, were smiled upon most kindly by
herpretty neighbors. At all Places though,
these Chinese noblemen get full share of
such attention, for their youth, their good
looks and the inexplicable something that
makes foreigner more attractive than all
the local beaux--causes the young lady to

THE EXPLORER AND THE ACTRESS.

Perhaps it is not generally known outside
of the western town where II occurred, TINT
the celebrated African explorer, Henry NJ.
Stanley, was about dozen years since re-
jected MS a sutton by bewitching little ac-
tress at that time attached to stock COM
pany playing at Omaha, Neb. The entire
company was excellent including, as IT did,
Jean Clara Walters and old Mrs. DeBar,
with others equally admirable in their way.
But the chief attraction TO the youth of that
western city was Annie Ward, Who in tho
soubrette parts which she took with such
chic and spirit, was absolutely irresistible.
Well does the writer remember the slight,
agile figure, graceful as bird, the sharp
featured, piquant little face, with its smiling
lips, which the tiny CLEAN of gold in one OF
the front teeth rendered all the more be-
witching; and above all, the wonderful,
clustering, curly hair of pale gold, which
was her browning charm. And when attired
in jaunty Swiss peasant costume, this fasci-
mating little soubrette stepped with her
hands thrust saucily into her apron-pockets
and that curly golden head poised like a
cunning canary's, she would sing her CO.

afterward married there handsome young
fellow named Jake Baker, but her choice
seemed to be very unfortunate. Eight years
ago the sad news came from st. Louis that
the once courted and bewitching Annie

desertion by her husband. What differ

WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS.

The Presidents doorkeeper, Charles Loef-
fer knows every person of any prominence.
He never forgets face. He is daily passed
by crowds of people DESTROYS of audience,
but he knows how to discriminate, and his
phlegmatic temperament keeps him level
headed. He came with General Grant Ar
thur Simmons has been the doorkeeper of
the private secretary's Office since 1866, and
he is likely to remain there for good many
years. Edgar Becky, doorkeeper of the
reception room, came with General Grant
There are several messengers connected with
the Office. The Presidents mounted mes
sengers, James Sheridan and Thomas Dolan,
are daily seen riding through the streets.
Albert the driver and Jerry the footman,
must not be forgotten. They were well
known under General Grants Administra-
ton, when they looked well behind a fine
team. They didn't seem to take much pride

turnout betting President will allow his
driver to hold the reins in one hand and a
large umbrella in the other There is one
man around the White House authorized to
make arrests--Sergeant Dinsmore. Two
other policemen are ON duty at night. A
police officer was first placed on duty there
in 1864. 1t will be remembered that then
President Lincoln's assassination was threat
ened. A reward of $780, 600 was offered in
Mississippi paper for his head. An officer
was detailed for duty at the White House
and one has been kept there ever since.
Very little of Sergeant Dinsmore's time is
occupied with police duty, however. He
and the ushers, Thomas F. Hendle, who
came with Lincoln, and J. T. Richard, have
about as much as they can attend to in re-
ceiving callers and showing what can be
seen and answering innumerable questions.

incidents with Matron webb's Depart.
mene.

Matron Webb, who is in charge of the
lost children and waits of the city found
abandoned in the streets, has had her de-
partment thoroughly renovated. Through
the winter lost children are infrequent but
as soon as the fine weather commences the
troubles begin. Children stray away from
their homes or parents. get lost often
in the crowds while passing in the streets
and again are found in the public parks
where they are sometimes brought by older
children and abandoned or lost Sunday is
a field day if pleasant one, and sometimes
as many as thirty children have been picked
up in the streets in one day. The little ones
do not seem to mind it il they are treated
kindly and given all sorts Of little dainties.
In some instances, though, there are cases
where child will cry continually until called
for by its parents. Two mothers come
trooping up the steps OF Police Headquar-
ters andanxiously enquire for their lost Ones
They are told by the doorman to 60 to The
top of the building and take their pick and
in few moments you will see both parent
and child departing and crying over the re-
union. In some instances the mother goes
up stairs crying for her youngster, and in
returning can be seen wholloping her "brat,"
Us she afterwards calls it. Some people IRE
strangely affected at finding their lost ones.
A week ago woman tainted as soon us she
saw her little one, and another went into
Mysteries while passing down the stairway
with her little daughter in her arms. In the
latter case the child had been away from home
since morning and the mother had searched
the city from one end to the other She had
concluded that the youngster was gone en-
tirely, when it suddenly appeared late at
night in the arms of a policeman. The lit
tie one had strayea from the lower part of
the city to the upper precincts, in the
vicinity of Harlem. Finally becoming ex-
hausted it sank in the street when it was
picked up by policeman.
