The IRISH LANGUAGE. Lady Carnarvon,
as far as linguistic studies are concerned,
is becoming more Irish than the Irish
themselves. The Irish language seems to
have peculiar fascination FOR persons of
linguistic tastes, as evidenced by the ar
dor with which it is studied by tue scho-
lars of Germany The beauty of its litera-
ture, the richness of its vocabulary, and
the regularity of its grammatical forms
seem to attract persons of intellect and
refinement, who only require to become
slightly acquainted with it to continue its

There sort of mournful tone to the ex-
preston of the pFoprietor's face which was as
tonishing to behold. AS most store keepers
would hail the coming of the bright-faced girls
with joy and pleasant anticipations, the remark
called for an explanation.

''The old, old story" Thus remarked the
store keeper. 1.-The young women have regular
free,cologne routes, just as every old topper has
his freelunch route. And the luneh-tray isn't
worked with any more thoroughness either. 1t
was unusual a year ago for customer to come
in and waste time the pePfumery bottles;
they generally knew what they wanted, and got
it. Now the strange thing is when we don't
have hundred feminines day Waiting over
to the cologne bottles to ask questions by the
acre and take free bath, with never anything
more than a suggestion of purchasing. Don't
imagine that these are people who cannot
afford to buy their perfumery Young women
who are known in all the fashionable circles of
the city have got the mania, and one of those
whom you have just seen is the daughter of a

who comes here to wet her handkerchief and
scent her Dress once a week at least, is leader
in one of the most exclusive sets up town. It is
humorous to see some Of them disport themselves
at the counter. They uncork every bottle
within reach, sniff, and sniff and sniff till long
after every sense of smell is deadened ask the
price of this and the price of that, want to know
who uses the one and who the other, where one
was manufactured where another, whether a
certain odor is lasting, whether it is fashionable

more than one, and take their daily bath.

Washington's State Chariot.

Philadelphia Times.
The chariot in which Colonel Washington
went to church was what some satirist called "a
specimen of Gothic architecture on wheels, n
with mahogany body, green Venetian blinds,
pictured panels, and a gorgeous coat-of arms
fully "tricked' and emblazoned on the door. It
was drawn by four horses, and on special occa-
sions, besides the coachman and footman, two
livered outriders completed the style of the
turnout which was not more snowy than others
of the neighborhood. The planter gentry in
those days made large crops of tobacco on rich
lands with negro labor, and sold it in the mar
kets of Liverpool and Bordeaux at from twenty
five to sixty pence per pound, and they displayed
themselves on all occasions as persons of quail
ityp

''Now let US talk about the method of story
telling. / remember many years ago discussing
this subject with Mrs. Henry Wood. She told
me her system of beginning and working out a
story was of the most methodieal character
First she sketehed her plot, then she elaborated
it and set forth her characters, then she divided
it into three parts for three volumes; then she
divided her volumes into chapters, and allotted
each chapter its incidents; so that finally she
sat down to work knowing exactly what she had
to do, how much to each chapter, and 80 on,

Stolen Sweets; or, the kissing Shadows.

Cartersville (Ga.) American
| was coming up from Cedartown, on the East
& West. one afternoon not long since. In the
rear of the coach saw a young couple who
seemed to be very deeply interested in each
other. The young lady was we'll dressed and had
nice manners. Her eyes were bright, her cheeks
rosy and her lips vermilion The young couple
appeared to be much pleased with each other,
and in spite of their surroundings, were indulg-
ing in soft speeches and melting chances. After
a while the young man suggested that
they go out on the rear end Of the
coach and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The afternoon was bright and the sun
was shining across from the west in q
genial way, casting long shadows toward the
east. The train spad along through fields over
bridges and around curves, and in my admiration
of the fine farms to be seen from my window
had almost forgotten the young couple on the
coach. The train was gliding through an open
Geld when my eyes fell on the shadows of the
young couple reflected against the embankment
on the side of the coach where was sitting I
could distinctly see the outlines of their figures
and the profles of their faces-even the motion
of the young mans lips and the shadow Of the
young ladys eye lashes could be seen. 1t was
amusing to look at and called the attention of
my neighbor on the next seat to it. Soon almost
every one IN the car was watching the shadows.

young lady very attentive. Gently, and as il by

MORALITY OF THE STAGE.
One Reprehensible Custom Among Actresses
Which Gives Rise to Scandal.


Brooklyn Union.
Much of the dsrepute in which the women of
the stage find themselves is due to the very in
nocent custom among them of styling themselves
almost invariably as Miss. An actress is known
as Miss Jones, or Miss Smith, and so on. At
her hotel she lives with man. Straightway
goes the gossip that she is strumpet; the vile
tongues roll the sweet mofsel of SANDER and pass
it around till the good name of the actress. the
faithful wife and devoted mother. perhaps is
ruined Ignorance is misfortune of humanity,
but what ignorance is more vicious
than that of the creatures who
hold that actresses are all bad because
some of them are shameless Still, these people
exist around us and are heard every day Now,
as matter of fact, ninertenths of the women
of the stage are married, and most of them
faithful wives. The exceptions are such fragrant
cases, however. that the world may be forgiven
if it doubts the purity of the majority. But
this honest doubt is not to be mentioned in the
same breath with the foul-mouthed ignoramus
whose sole object in life seems to be to tear
down regulations. A humorous incident bear
ing on this subject Of married actresses styling
themselves Miss occurred at the Grand Opera
house last week. Miss Bella Moore was acting
there She was good looking and threw
sly glanees at the audience when
ever she had a chance. Among the
spectators was man who instantly fell in love
with her, and asked that he be introduced to her
after the performance "to see her home" Col
onel Morris at first felt like throwing him out
into the street. but he saw chance TO enjoy the
discontinue of pPesunling fool, and he told the
man, who was not unknown to him, that he
would introduce him to the manager of the
Mountain Pink company, who would no doubt
give him some information how to become ac-
quainted with Miss Bella Moore. That gentle
man was found in the box-etice.
Introduce you to Miss Bella Moore?" he said.

London Letter.
A pleasant, matron-hke woman, Miss Braddon
Mrs. John Maxwell), above the medium height;
fair, with complexion that suggests more of
horse exercise, and the open air generally, than
pens and ink, and hard work in a library. Her
eyes are small, and look trife tired; her mouth
large and characteristics. firm lips, strong chin
The expression of her face suggests an amiable
temperament and a kindly nature, and, like all
authors who are at work on ar ensrossipg book,
there is in her eyes an occasional vacancy Of ex-
preston, which means that their owner for the
moment is thinking Of her work, taxed unex
pectedly with sudden idea, or worried with the
vagaries of one of the fictitious characters she
has created and cannot altogether control
