Holy Rosary Bazaar.

The fair under the auspices of the Holy ROs-
ary church closed Tuesday night, after highly
successful season of several days, and it is ex-
pected that the receipts will be considerably
larger than at first anticipated. Monday eve
ming there was very large attendance, but
Tuesday evening it was more than doubled and
the votes came in fast and furious. 1t seemed
as though each candidate for the various
prizes had hundreds Of friends and that all Of
them were trying to get at the ballots at once.
The arrival of the A. O. n. delegates who had
been attending the convention at Winona, it is
presumed had the effect of giving that order
such a large majority in the contest for the
silk banner. The interested young ladies
were present and watched with intense eager
ness the ever-increasing number of ballots.
The vote for the flag was close at first, ana
deep interest was manifested in tnat direction.
The vote for the most handsome young lady
ranked next in interest, and was constantly IN
creasing. Young men surged around the polls
and jostled ard crowded each other in their
eaqerness to vote for the lady they thought
the best looking. The fair has been in every
respect all that could have been desired, and
everyone connected with it feels more than
satisfied. The little Journal of which Father
Byrnes as editor, has been splendidly kept up,
and has reflected the news of the fair in g con-
else and spicy manner. 1t is to be hoped that
the same gentleman will edit the paper pub
ished at the next fair. Following is the award
lof the prizes:
The vote for the silk banner was: Ancient
Order Of Hibernians, lat; Holy Name society,
Z, 1856; Temperance society, 1,04s. Other prizes
were distributed as follows: Lady g gold watch,
Miss Nellie Hall: desk. T. ]. Donahue; ch air,

Aristocracy Dancing with the Servants
Annual Abjuration of Pride.

When the long table is surrounded by
woman glittering with the diamonds so
profusely worn, when the magnificent
gold and silver plate lends its massive
splendor TO the wealth of crystal, flowers
and fruit. the lofty apartments in the
white chaste light ~involuntnrily recalls
the gorgeous scenes painted by Veronese.
The ~liveries worn by the twenty tall
footmen of the noble host are at once
simple and tasteful-black coat, blue
brooches and white waistcoat, and silken
hose gartered with silver.
The servants ball takes place in the
winter dining-room, decorated with some
flowers and grecnery and provided with
n small orchestra. Refreshments are
served in an adjoining apartment and n
stand-up supper in the Marble hall. Eng

a similar act, observed to n foreigner;
III you want to see true democracy. here

This sentiment is not sincere, and does
not deceive either the one who emits it
or the recipients of these honors. The
upper and under servants preserve astif
and embarrassed, almost an antagonistic,
attitude MS long as their superiors are
present, and eye the quality with ill-con-
cealed distrust. They fiatten themselves
stinly against the wall while Lady Sails
bury passes with her guests, and ad-
dresses a word to each before the dane
ing commences. There is more of feudal
pomp than hearty equality in the custom.

rather ostentatiously introduced by the
son Of the house, a Omitted that he
had been several years in the establish
ment, and liked England well enough.
Then he suddenly and almost angrily ex-
claimed: But did my duty in 1870. 1

He was evidently not won over by the
mock favor, and rather resented it thar
otherwise as an added display of p
riority and a showing off of the number
Of retainers and generosity of employers.
The upper servants themselves stand
on their dignity, and rarely condescend
to dance with the underlings, this being
considered an infringement of domestic
etiquette. The real enjoyment only be-
gins after 12, when the hostess retires
with her friends. With the exception Of
the ladies' maids, the women are alb
surdly and grotesquely attired-cotton
velvet, red gloves, short muslins being
common features. Each servant is au-
thorized 10 issue two invitations. No
control is placed on the duration of the
%revels, the housekeeper and head butler
assuming the functions of master of the
ceremonies: but the next morning all
must return TO their respective duties,
and no trace remain of the festivities Of

lishment of Hatfield resumes the even,

The custom OF killing spies is an old
Roman one, aud, indeed. seems TO have
prevailed all the world over. Ncverthc-
less. there have been exceptions even TO
that. Scipio Africanus had some Cartha-
ginian spies who wen brought before
him led through the camp, and then dis
missed under escort and with the polite
inquiry whether they had examined cv-
crything to their satisfaction. The Con
sui l4vt INN is said 10 have dealt in the
same way with some spies that were
taken. and So did Xerxes by some Greek
detectives.
There is a clear middle course between
both extremes. Instead OF being hung
or shot, or sent away scot free, "A spy
might fairly be made n prisoner Of war.
Suggestions IN this sense were made at
the Brussels conference ON the laws Of
war. The Spanish delegate proposed
that the custom Of hanging or shooting
detected spies should he abolished. and
that the custom bc substituted OF intern
ing them rs prisoners Of war
during the continuance Of hostili-
ties. The Belgian delegate proposed
that in no case should they
be put to death without trial. and it was
even thought "a establish a distinction
between the deserts of the really patri-
otto and the merely m%erccnary spy. Tho
feeling, in fact made itself clearly Wis
ible. that an act of which q general
might fairly avail himself could not in

inal in. the agent. Between n general
and "A spy the commo law rule Of princi-
pal and agent plainly holds good; "He
who acts through another acts through
himself"

ciIal and agent are guilty of n criminal
mct, or neither Is. II thespy as such rio-
laies the laws of war, 80 does the general
who employs him, and either deserves
