N

The tongue of scandal is forged in
the devils workshop, and is no re-
specter of persons. The high, as well
as the low, are objects of its venom.
The latest notable proof of this fact is
contained in a Washington newspa-
per of recent date. It seems from the
authority named President Arthur
afforded Mrs. Langtry the gratifica-
ton of his presence at several of her
performances week before last. This
called forth the following comment:
"The fact that an American actor of
undoubted genuine and large his
trionic attainments al ,peared here all
of last week in several really great
characterizatious did not divert the
attention Of the President from the
English ex-professional beauty and
intimate friend Of that marvel of
sexual confluence. the Prince Of
Wales. The President claims to be a
man Of particularly good taste, but he
certainly did not exhibit in his thea
tire going last week. Cares of state
and zeal for denomination may ac-
count for it, however. But if you
value your reputation as a man of
taste, Mr.. President, you won't make
. similar mistake in the FUTURE" The
fact that Senator Bayard escorted
Mrs. Langtry through tie Capitol
and pointed out to her OBJ
jects of historic interest therein, has
also been made the subject of news.
paper comment. There is certainly
something wrong IN society when it
IAN see in the simple acts of courtesy
TO a lady food for gossip. That it fire.
luently does brings to mind the old
French saying, Honi soft qui NAL y

Hcuse-United States Senate-of his
friends. In fact his treatment is mean
without parallel. Time, however,

two distant" That Mr.. Gorham is
revengeful his political life in Cali

be set down as a fact. Gorham will
