Upper Zen" Negroes IL, South
Carolina.

It is said that there is an supper ten"
circle among the negroes Of South Caro-
lima, consisting principally of ginger
bread colored people, with a small
sprinkling Of ebony. At recent party
given by one of the favored class, Chi
nese lanterns illuminated the grounds,
while the house was one blaze of gas
light from cellar to attic. The company
was not large and did not assemble IN
til eleven o'clock. All came in carriages
with the exception Of two young men,
who wore their hair beautifully banged
and carried crush hats. To attempt to
describe the toilettes Of the ladies were
to try to gid gold Or to paint the lilies.
Some wore white null, some satin,
some silk, but one woman black as the
ace of spades, wore black velvet, black
gloves and diamond bracelets, earrings,
tiara ami necklace. The effect was start
ling. The men all wore full evening
dress, and there were but two who
failed to put ON diamond shirt studs
and high colors. The orchestra was
composed Of white men. "The German"
was the feature Of the evening.

The Princess Of Wales.
London Letter to the Boston Herald

London Letter to the Boston Herald
The Princess of Wales is adored by
the English Conservatives and Radicals
alike, and it was lucky day indeed for
the heir apparent when he took the
sweet and high-minded daughter of the
King of Denmark to wife. Her popu-
larity is rivaled only by that of MIR. Glad
stone, and it is even greater than his,
for London is hers, heart and soul, as
we'll as the provinces. To look at this
pretty and girlish woman no ono would
imagine that she is 40 years Of age and
the mother of several children, including
two great boys, one of whom has Just
attained his majority. Although n. r. Fl.
holds herself so we'll that when seated in a
carriage or in the box Of a theatre she
seems tall woman, vet in reality, she
is petite. The Princess dresses her hair
rather high and wears high heels. shei is
always attired to perfection, and usual
~ in white or black in the evening and
in very quiet colors during the day, but
her costume at night, however simple,
is set off by the most magnificent Jewels,
SO that she literally "blazes like q jeweled
sun" Fl. r. FL. is somewhat deaf, al
though not seriously so. The present
writer has seen her many times in pub
lie, and has always been impressed with
the grace and delicacy of her type OF
beauty and the unaffected goodness that
seems to surround her like an atmos-
phere. The Princess is always cheered
to the echo and fairly mobbed by the
enthusiastic public. I have seen her
seated in the royal coach, returning in
state from Buckingham Palace to MARI
borough House, preceded by outriders,
adiadem on her fair brow and gorgeously
attired again, at q garden party, accom-
panied by her little daughters clinging
to the skirts OF her gown, as she walked
along between the ranks Of ladies cour-
tesying and men with their heads uncov-
cred; again, driving in Hyde Park late in
the afternoon with the little princessesor
sailing out to the royal yacht anchored
of. the Isle Of Wight, the ribbons Of her
sailor hat huttering in the fresh breeze,
her dress simple blue serge, and still
again, selling roses for charity ut the
fete held at Horticultural Society's
grounds in South Kensington, The
Princess is familiar but always an iso-
lated figure in English daily life. The
people recognize in her all those virtues
which her life does SO much to reveal,
and follow her good example in over
looking the past and putting faith in the
future. Certainly, moreover, there is
no reason to complain Of the present.
There are no scandals in the beau cha
teau.

Mexican Con1pli1n enGs.

The Mexicans are genial, generous
people socially. 1t is their practice to
say to strangers visiting them, my
house is yours" And not only this, but,
says d writer from the City of Mexico,
whatever you admire is yours" Ii YOU
express sentiment of appreciation for
anything the owner at once says: Senior,
it is yours, but he simply intends to say
something factoring, and you are there
fore not expected to accept anything
that is offered you. An amusing story
is told of Sir Spencer ST. John, the
English ambassador, which illustrates
how this national courtesy often pro
vokes embarrassment. Sir Spencer,
who is gallant old bachelor, was prom
enading with some ladies i'll tho park
where he met a nurse-girl with bright
eyed baby. The lady stopped to admire
the little one, and Sir Spencer asked
whose child it was. Senior, it is your
own, replied the nurse, with courtesy.
Sir Spencer has never inquired as to the
parentage Of pretty children since.
