THE New York World of yesterday devotes
about five columns to an amusing article upon
the crests and coats-of-arms of the New York
nobility. Illustrations are given Of the al
legged coats-of-arms OF the Astors, G.. Van
Rensselaer, Cruger, Hamilton Fish, Willism
II. Merritt, Jay Gould's broker, "Wash {"
Connor ex-Mayor Grace, Ned Stokes, of the
Hoffman house bar, and others of moro
or less royal descent. The badges Of
the Tudors, tho dukes of Norfolk and
Marlborough, and other extremely azure
bloodod houses are freely assigned
to the arIstocratic Gothamites, along with
heraldic devices undreamed Of across the
water. While satire and seriousness are in
gcniously combined ip the Worlds article, it
serves to illustrate branch Of folly that has
secured quite foothold among the idle rich
in our largo cities, who have more money
than brains. There are undoubtedly in this
country families who, by right Of descent,
arc entitled to the use Of the armorial bear
ings of noble houses abroad, but even in

such cases their use could hardly be
regarded as being in very good taste in this
republican country, while tho aping by those
who have no such right of custom that has
real value and significance in Europe is
foolish and ridiculous. 1t Is Of a pieco
with the Anglo mania that produced tho dude,
with the difference, however, that some other
wise sensible people have fallen into the prac-
tice Of sporting crests and coats-of.arms that
can have no possible significance in this
country

"The Gilded Ago" was writton, but the sta
tistics indicate that his figures arc nearly
correct. This industry fourishes most with
the long session Of congress, and the average
householder with spare rooms will have
his hands full from now until next
July, when he will wend his way
to the ocean or mountains to spend
the surplus contributed by congressman and
others. 1t is the congressman, however, who
furnishes tho fattest piclSings. A suite Of
rooms that would usually bo cheerfully let to a
department clerk or bureau official for $50
go up 100 per cent. when senator or M. Q.
proposes to occupy them.
Some of tho older legislators arc getting
very keen in this connection, however and
by having somo acquaintance call and close
the bargain for rooms for my friend from
- who is coming here to take q position
under the government" they have been able
to secure quarters for the session for little
less than twice what they were worth.

1t is now the proper thing for n sort Of un-
dress rehearsal of the ceremonies ut the
church to precede the really swell weddings
in the district. Tho best man assumes tho
role of stage manager on such occasions, and
works up tho mise en- scene for all It is worth.
Particular attention is paid to pose, decora-
tions, and tho general stage business, and the
organist is drilled upon the cues for the Or
chestra, until all interested are satisfied that
there will be no hitch in the performance,
when the act is put on.
This may shock tho propriety of staid
elders who plunged head first into matri-
mony, and who have some straight-lnced
notions of the sacredness of tho obligations
involved but the world moves, and the con-
tracting couples of to-day want to mako hit
in their first appearance as bride and groom,
no matter how their interest may flag in the
drama later.
1t is evident that Mr.. Morrison is getting
rather tired of expressing opinions on vari-
Gus matters connected with tho organization
of the house, and being interrupted in his
chats to answer conundrums.
The other evening he was standing in the
rotunda at Willards in conversation with a
group of gentlemen, when, as he had reached
the climax of his story, an enthusiastic rep
resentative of Pennsylvania paper Joined
the group, and broke in with the query
"Col. Morrison, what do you think of Mr..
Carlisles speech ?"
Tho prairie statesman gazed fondly into the
eyes Of the Pennsylvania for few minutes,
aud then blurted out "That's none of your
confounded businessw An hour later Mr..
Morrison had again secured an appreciative
audience, and at about tho same stage of his
story the representative of a leading metro
politan journal rushed up and undertook to
state some important information for his
benefit. Mr.. Morrison did not wait for him
to conclude, but cut the scribe short by shout
ing, "Ail IN informal lie, sir; don't want to

THE American citizen, Patrick O'Don-
nell, who was recently tried for his life
in London on the charge of murder, for
the killing of Carey, the informcr, at
Capo Town, Africa, and who is now under
sentence of death, was denied tho trial by
jury, and his execution would be murder.
This we say because when the jury asked the
Judge what would be tho law in given state
of facts, hc replied vindctivcly aPd tyranni-
cally that no such facts existelas were ro.
ferrcd to. This took the issue Of facts out of
the hands of the jury, and pade the verdict
merely the edict of a partisan judge. Every
American citizen is interested in having a
proper appeal made to- tho British govern
ment to right this infamous wrong-at least,
that the death penalty may be averted.

In fact, all Chinese diplomates are forbidden
to use opium in any way"
This allegation" ho added Indignantly,
"that female children are ehticed here by

So he can time his stitches.

And fishes rich I'll nail her.
