to sever all social relations with him in con-
sequence of his marriage. This might seem
roughly convincing of the hopelessly desper-
ate status of Mr.. julius Newton ne Nathan Is
ease, and its hardened insusceptibility
Because when the sensitive
morality of the Stock Exchange is concen-
trated in such rebuke the offending party
might as well tumble to sack-cloth and ashes
at once, for its all up with him. So at least
it would appear to the philosophic observer
calmly regarding the extremely damaging
| aspect of Mr.. Julius Newton ne Nathan's bad
break from that scrupulous standard OF
morality recognized by the New York Stock
Exchange, and punished by it with such
momentous severity.
Instead of taking the cutting rebuke with
crushing dependency Mr.. Julius Newton,
ne Nathan cheers himself with the thought
that there is another and older world beyond
the ocean where he may win recognition
beside which everything on this side of the
water is pinchbeck. Thereupon he sets up a
large and snowy establishment in London,
and the chronicle is, that Mrs. Newton's dia-
monds and dresses attracted attention in the
theaters of the metropolis, as deservedly they
should, since she was at full dress rehearsal
for first appearance on the grand worlds
stage with royalty to receive her, and leave
intellectually the enviable and paramount dis
tinction.
In mood of this untempered zeal to set
aside the discomfting verdict of the New
York Stock Exchange, Mr. julius Newton ne
Nathan was suicidally disposed to get pre-
sented at the court of st. James, where not
even ''off color'' gloves are allowed, if we
may credit the following item from the Lon
don World:
The last queens drawing room was notable for
one or two melo-dramatic incidents. One lady,
not unknown in society, appeared in brown gants
de Suede, and was debarred from making her
courtesy till she had procured white pair.
On the goth of March Mr.. and Mrs. Lowell
presented the undaunted NEWFOUNDLAND
couple to the Princess of Wales, representing
the Queen, and in few days the royal con-
descension is revoked by request of the
American minister. The presentation is ac-
cordingly annulled by an official notice, with
her Majesty's authority, and the affair is duly
published in the Court circular, and the Lon
don newspapers.
Mr.. Julius Newton ne Nathan's triumph
is as short lived as a dream, and his ill con-
sidered self-immolation is the only lasting
fact connected with him.
No diamonds, dresses, equipages and es-
adjustments can disguise that.
What tumble this unlucky ambition
causedl
The flying fish manage to sustain them
selves in the air for short time, but they
end by falling back in the water, says Ivan
Turgenieff.
1t may be rather late for this crushed aspi-
rant to learn the lesson of his bIunder from
first to last, which is-that discretion is al
ways the better part in such a situation-that
brayado and audacious self-assertion in a
world to which he did not belong, and the
assumption of rights to the best social privi-
leges, scandalously forfeited-merely render
the original dereliction doubly fragrant.
The black flag is sometimes best.
Now then it will be in order for the kin of
the late Benjamin Nathan to felcitate them
selves that Mr.. julius Newton is the victim of
court protest-for had he remained Nathan
they too might now be annoyed with ques-
tons about relationship.
AS Americans, we are pleased at the har-
mony of sentiment between the New York
stock exchange, Mr.. Envoy Lowell, and the
Court circular. 1t is significant of Punch's
entente corCliale.
