A Boston Belle.

A correspondent of the Post at the White
Mountains writes:
prominent hotel has Just been the scene
Of romance in real life that has created on
end of talk and is very likely to leave its
mark on Boston society next winter. One
Of the most admired Of all the bellies here this
season is beautiful brunette residing on q
very fashionable Back-Bay street in the Hub
She is highly accomplished and every bit az
much lady as she is lovely IN face and
figure. Naturally enough. she can count
her admirers Of the sterner sex by the score /;
and her pleasing manners and jolly good ma
ture are highly priced wherever she goes. A
short time since she added to her already long
list of adorers young Englishmsn, who,
though possessing no title, has very extensive
landed estates in the old country, and moves 10
the very first metropolitan circles. He has
travelled all over the world, is graduate of
Cambridge, Eng, and is in every way most
eligible bachelor Though his attentions to the
beautiful Boston belle have been very marked,
ye. they have only been such as any true gen.
tleman might pay to lady whom be held in
high esteem. The young lady though not admit.

most Enthusiastically impressed by the rare
gifts and worthy character of her cavalier
and there is no Disgusting the fact that she
was deeply panied and chagrined on learning
from his own lips recently that he is engaged
to be married in the autumn to the daughter
of peer. The singular part of the affair is,
however, that the gentleman told her Of his
younger brother, whose good qualities he ex
tolled to the skies, and finally expressed a
wish that the lady might meet him and be-
come his BRIDE at the same time promising
that If such an arrangement should be brought
about he would settle upon his younger
brother sufficient property to increase his
present income to handsome yearly figure.
The suggestion was by no means repealed BY
the young lady, and the upshot of the whole
matter is that the young Briton has written
to his younger brother to come to this coun-
try early in September, meet his proposed
wife. and do his best to win her. 1t is q
very romantic affair all through, and fashion.

Bell TOlling at Mt. Vernon.

The following account Of the origin of the
custom of tolling the bell on boats passing
the tomb of Washington was given by Dr.
Toner at a meeting OF the Washington Liter
ary Society;
The tolling of the bell on vessels passing
Mt Vernon is a touching memorial custom
which in effect is perpetual vigil, an anthem
of reverentisl respect observed by officers and
seamen while passing the last resting place
of the soldier and statesman who gave indie
pendence to America. This token of regard,
it is said, originated on q French merchant
vessel which had been to Alexandria for a
cargo. and going down the river after Gen
eral Washington's death, but before his in
terment. placed its oolors at half-mast and
tolled its bells continuously while passing the
house of mourning. This special testimony
of respect impressed every person as becom-
ing and appropriate, and it was at once taken
up and prscticed by all river crafts. Ever
since the bell is tolled on vessels of every
character and nation which pass the tomb of
Washington. 1t may, therefore. be claimed
to have grown into = custom of impressive
reverential respect, observed by all vessels
sailing up and down the Potomac river"
