CHAMPAGNE-THE TIPsY ACT OF A BEAU


TY.
Washington society for a week or more
has been greatly agitated by an incident
which occurred recently at White Sulphur
Springs. Hints of the matter have crept
into the papers, but the true particulars have
never been published, and are as follows:
A young married woman who has not yet
emerged from her teens, and who was a
regning society beauty, was led to the altar
BY one Of the wealthes, Young men in this
section Of the country just one year ago.
After the wedding the young couple went
abroad and spent the winter on the conti-
nent. They returned here in June, and the
beautiful young wife set the town on fire
with the profusion and elegance OF her toll
cts. Soon after she went to White Sulphur
During her husbands absence she met quite
a large number Of gentlemen who had form
erly been in the train Of her admirers.
One day there was quite party Of these
young bloods in the hotel, waiting for some
thing TO turn up. The bride happened to
be passing, and she was invited to step in
and take a glass of wine. The young man
who was doing the entertaining was Mr.. Hal
Delaney. of Loudoun county, Va. He in
herited an immense estate from relative
in England, that alone brings him an in
come of $4,000. Besides this, he has 9th
er revenues that insure him an annual in-
come of at least 100000, He spends most
of his time travelling. or in the winter in the
gayest scenes of Washington and New York
society. He is generally accredited with
being the greatest catch Of the season
When the young married woman accepted
the invitation to join the drinking party one
glass was taken, only to be followed by an
other One bottle disappeared and Others
took lis place. until, if the truth must be
told. the bride was in anything but pre-
sentable condition.
In the excitement and exhilaration of the
moment she took one Of her dainty slippers
from foot which Cinderella herself might
have enyied and filling il to the brim with
the sparkling and etFervescent champagne
challenged the host to quaf its contents.
The Young millionaire was surprised and
quietly declined TO accede to the request
Then She appealed to the others present
around the board, and one in a spirit of
bravado actually drank the wine. The next
day the fact was reported about the hotel
and the Young man who had been anxious
to please the capricious beauty found that
the social atmosphere was getting altogeth-
er too sultry for him. He returned to
Washington, and has since Kept very shady

King Ludwig and his Valet.

The Daily Neps Of Munich tells story
illustrative of the queer freaks of the late
mad King of Bavaria. He had an excellent
ralet de chdmbre, whose services he priced
greatly but who one day committed some
petty fault that threw the quick tempered
monarch into such tempest Of fury that
be beat him with his fists and said "Get
out !, | do not want ever to see your face
again" The man went as rapidly as he
could. Then the King had succession of
Wallets, each one Of whom seemed worse,
more stupid, and incompetent than his pre-
decessor, until the King was frantic all the
time. The Baron Schneider, chief of the
palace, urged him to take his old valet back
again. but he refused on the ground that his
dignity would not permit him to do so, v hen
he had said he wished never to see the mans
face again. Then the Baron had happy
idea. "Very we'll, your Majesty" he said,
"you need not TO see his face again. We
will make blackamoor of him." To that
the King assented cheerfully, and thereafter,
until his death, he was faithfully served BY
an apparent negro, who was, however, in
realitya native of Munich, mis- old white
valet.

BLAINE.

As the carriage rolled up the street Mr..
Blaine pointed out the Girard house, which,
in his boyhood was called the Workman's
hotel, and said that Henry Clay always
stopped there and made his speeches from
the verandah Mr. Blaine heard him speak
there three times, and his memory was keen
enough to enable him to quote sentence
from one Of the speeches. At another point
he showed his companions the house where
President William Henry Harrison and
Secretary of the Interior Thomas Ewing
stopped and where William Allen intro
duced the President to the people.
From the house where be was born Mr..
Blaine guided the horses past John Giles
pies old place on the hill and then 10 the
farm of his grandfather, Neil Gillespie.
The farm is now in other hands, but Mr..
Blaine pointed out the barn where he played.
the field where be rode an old horse bare
back, and the piece of woods where he went
hunting coons at night with negro farm
hands. A short distance beyond the road,
forked at the line between two townships,
there had stood the "Union school-bouse," !"
where Miss Mary Graves directed young
Blaine's ideas. The "Unon school-house'
still stands, but now it is fine frame struc-
ture, while when Miss Graves taught it was
built of logs. The school teacher, Young
man, came out and spoke to Mr.. Blaine, and
the pupils all rushed to the windows and
shouted.

THE CHURCH.

Il need not be asked what denomination
they are or what the people. religion Is.
Catholic all over. There is jus, as much
difference between the Catholic religion in
this country and the United States, as there
is between Methods, and Mohammedan.
There is a great deal more homage
paid TO the Catholic church here than
to the Emperor Don Pedro, 2nd. In
passing the church door they all bare their
heads, which they never do for the Emperor.
In sickness and in health alike, the priest is
their only refuge. When approaching dis
solution is at hand and no earthly assist
ance can bind the ties that will prolong their
stay on earth, the priest is sent for. He
NAV be seen approaching the sick persons
house in the following order: A man pre-
cedes the priest, dressed in red surpliee
ringing bell, which is to warn the people
of the priests approach and his mission
The priest is dressed in the robes Of the
Roman order, accompanied by four assist
ants, who hold canopy over his head, and
is guarded by four soldiers. Every good
Catholic is supposed to bare his head and
kneel when the priest passes. He arrives
at the sick persons side and administers the
last rites Of the Roman Catholic church !;
he then departs and returns home in the
same order he came, with the exception
of ringing the bell. which is on some occa-
sions discontinued on the return. It is
strange to see how little attention and re-
spect is paid TO the dead after the priest de-
parts. No one, not even the family or friends.
of the sick person care anything more about
the departed one. The priest by his prepa-
ration has taken care Of the immortal part,
and the body is Of no more consequence.
