washington : Great social Cen tsr.

Washington Correspondence Of tbeN Y World
A prominent New York gentleman
Who has spent couple of winters in
Washington said TO me recently
DO yon know I am perfectly fascinated
with the social life Of the espitalY We
-save no real society in New York. You
go to any one OF ~. he clubs and you find
Them in the possession of lot OF yv..,neg
Insurance agents, stock brokers and
downtown business men. They talk
aothing but stocks, petty scandals and
horses, Old men are regarded a. stupid.
Any literary or intellectual gentleman
who desires to discuss something out
side of standard club topics is voted a
nuisance. You go irto general society
and you find it still worse. A man or
woman over thirty years OF age has to
sit in corner. The young dancing
dudes aud the buds run everything.
Here IN Washington literary gentlemen,
philanthropists, statesmen, historians,
and the very best type of our leading
people are met everywhere. You have
here the young dancing people too, but
they are merely employed 20 fill in the
gaps. They are not the feature of your
society, Any one Who has ever en-
ioyed winter in Washington society
could never be satisfied with the society
Of any other city in this country. 1t is
the only town where men of brains and
position are not driven into .1e back
ground by the long-legged young men
and the nimble-footed young women,
The graduates OF the dancing schools.

Personal oossip.

Mr.. Sims Reeve was lately mulcted
in ESQ damages for not singing at q
concert got up by local music seller
in q small English town. His defence
that he was disabled by hosrseness from
performing his contract was net salts
factory to the special jury which tried
the case. Many verdicts like the above
would prevent hoarseness from attack
ing singers at the wrong time.
Lord Bramwell recently, in giving
Judgment in an important Scotch law
suit took occasion to review briefly the
celebrated case of Shylock VS.. Antonio
(Shakspere's Reportsl. and said II
am quite certain that would have de-
cided that case in the way fair Portia

reasons, but upon some OF them. As q
matter Of fact, Shylock never had The

him; and he could only get it by a con

But il the pound Of flesh had been APP.
propriated to him, / should have given

This is from q private letter from
George Eliot: Dickens death came as
great shsek to us. He lunched with
us Just before we went abroad, and was
telling us story of President Lincoln
having told the Council, on the day he
was shot, that something remarkable
would happen, because be had Just
dreamt, for the third Time, d dream
which twice before had preceded events
momentous IN the nation. The dream
was that he was in boat on a great
river, all alone, and he ended with the
words, i drift DRIFT drift Dick
ems told this very finely"
Strange sights are to be seen in our
large cities. The other day, in New
York, arichly dressed, handsome oman
about thirty years of age, was found in
toxicated in street car. She was re-
moved by q policeman, and placed in
the alcoholic ward hospital. Diam onds
'sparkled in her ears. and her sealskin
sacque open at the throat displayed q
gold pin. Her dress was of silk Three
rings glittered on her hands, and she
wore handsome watch aud chain. In
her pocket book was found newspaper
clipping stating that ELIZA ftall has
received an absolute divorce from John
Hail. She answered no questions, but
it was evident that she had pathetic
history.
A pleasant little episode occurred on
the occasion of the call Of the Justices
Of the Supreme Court ON the President
the other day. Justice Miller, whose
Republ;canism is OF the staunchest
character, and whose name has FREE
quently been mentioned in connection
with the nomination fer the Presidency,
took Mr.. Cleveland by tho hand and
said "Mr. President, Mr.. Benton once
and OF the Court, in politics we are

MOOnshining in ireland.

The place selected for the operations
of the distiller is usually some natural
hollow, or sheltered spot partially
hidden by some overhanging rock. But
occasionally there are much more hab-
liable places prepared. A favorite ex-
ample of this is an artificial cave dug
out in the side of a high bank close to
stream, the proximity of which is al
ways necessary for their operations.
The entrance is generally concealed
with great ingenuity by a luxuriant
growth Of furze and other shrubs. In
side, raised seat of earth, on which
some heather has been strewn, and a
rudely built chimney complete the
structure.
The functions of the chimney are not
by any means exhausted by being
brought up to the natural level of the
earth AS is well known, burning peat
has an easily recognizable odor, and If
this drew attention to q wreath of
smoke ascending in the midst OF field
the chances of q long life for the still
house would be very small. Instead,
therefore, of being directly brought
out, every conceivable artifce is en-
ployed to render the smoke invisible
Sometimes it is led into q drain; at
others, into thick growth of under
wood; again, it is carried for some dis
lance and allowed to make its escape in
such small quantities as to be practi-
cally lmperceptible.
In one case OF which we knew the
still-house. was underground, in the
vicinity of the owners cottage, and
advantage of this was taken to convey
the chimney up the earthen fence and
effect junction with the fiue of the
kitchen. In some cases u dwelling
house is chosen in such a locality as to
defy suspicion. An example of this
occurred in a market town, where dis
tillation was carried on for many years
IN the main street within q hundred
yards of an important corstabulary
barracks, and the owner in this case
was said to have amassed a consider
able amount Ct money. For aught that
is known, many similar instances may
still exist, as the shrewdness shown by
the choice of such hiding-place rem
ders detection, except through treach-
cry, a most unlikely event. 1t would
be well perhaps to add that in the case

The Village Cafe.

The smallest italian village has its
cafe, and the smallest cafe provides ice
at least once or twice in the week
Here in the summer evenings the whole
air is in motion with the futter of fans.
The husbands, brothers, and fathers
read the single paper supplied, turn by
turn, with such o concentrated and pro-
tracted interest that one might suppose
that they were going to pass an exam
ination in its contents if one did not
know they were simply anxious to ig-
more the fervid chances which the la
dies under their protection are exchang-
ing with the youths who are playing
dominoes at the opposite tables. The
landlord shuffles backward and forward
every now and then, and the waiter
moves actively about, expectant of pos
sible soldi. You feel at once that is
only d cheaper edition of the great
world from which you have fled, print
ed on worse paper and in q coarser
type. Down one of the streets that led
to the shore, however, there is sure to
be cantina. It offers nothing but the
wine of the country, and none of the
frequenters of the cafe ever think of
passing its portals. In the daytime, 1t
must be confessed, they are gloomy
enough to brighten the passer-by, but
of an evening the huge back doors are
opened, and then the shop appears only
a portico to the orange Or olive grove
behind. If you are content with the
light of the moon, the stars, and the
firetiies you can take chair and drink
your wines there; but if you are lover
of men you will seat yourself at the
rude table opposite the counter and lis
ten to the talk of the fishermen who
come in to quench their thirst and fill
their bottles before starting out on
their nightly expeditions. There is
generally something to be learned from
their conversation, and, even if this is
not the case, the breeze that passes
through the cantina is pleasanter than
the heavy air of the cafe, and the wine,
rough as it is, more wholesome than
the haf-melted ices favored with I'M
holy essences. The Saturday Revios0.
