Fun Among English Aristocrats.

The gayety at dinner sometimes rises into
hilarity. On hot night in June not many
years ago was dining with young carl.
The party was composed exclusively of men,
all of high rank, friends and associates of
royalty, members of the Marlborough club,
where at that time you were expected always
to be in evening dress after O'Clock, as you
might meet the Prince Of Wales. The house
was Scotch one, and after we rose the piper
was brought in. He had already passed three
times around the table during dinner playing
his bagpipes, but now it was proposed to have
dance, and two young noblemen were pitted
against each other in a Highland fling. Tho
rivals took off their coats and waistcoats and
their evening shoes, and began capering with
all the fervor Of the stage Irishman--leaping,
brandishing their arms, whooping and shout
ing like Florence or Barney Williams in a
favorite role. The others Joined in, or took
their turn, while the screech of the bagpipe
accompanied and excited the performers
Once or twice the young host came to me in
the corner where sat watching this extraor-
dinary scene in a London drawing room and
asked me if thought they were savages
But was delighted to study the manners of
the inhabitants, and begged them to go on.
And they did.
AT tne center OF Tie long room the young
aristocrats now heaped up in a mass all the
movable furniture, sofas, ottomans and
chairs. Then nearly every man OF the COM
pany in turn started from the head of the
room to leap over the pile. Some stumbled,
enc or two fell but most Of them cleared the
barrier. No one was hurt, but clothes were
torn, trousers burst, and every noble acrobat
was bathed in perspiration. The sport was
kept up till nearly midnight, and then it was
time to dress again, for they were all going
to ball at the Duchess of Buccleugh's
So the party broke up, and an hour or two
later met them again, renewed in appear
ance and attire, and as subdued in man.
ner as the ordinary undemonstrative English
man.
These young fellows had not drank any
great quantity of wine; their exhilaration
was simply natural spirit, the result of high
health, youth and intimate company, and
feeling that whatever they did, their doing it
made it appropriate. They were rollicking
set, but there was no vulgarity in their mirth,
no coarseness even in their boisterousness
But they broke some very precious porcelain
in their performances. Badeau's

Our presidei,ts and Their wives.

Most of the presidents have been true to
their first loves, and the only instance of
president marrying again ia that of John
Tyler, who was too bashful to kiss his first
wife during their engagement, but was
bold enough to marry a young girl shortly
after her death in the White House. The
first three presidents married widows, and
Washington had had one OF two love
affairs before he got Martha Custis.
Washington seemed to make it principle
to fall in love with nothing but heiresses,
and he got a nice dot with Martha Custis,
who used to tell him she brought the
money into the family. Jefferson was
good match while he was in the White
House. He was q widower and true to his
first wife, Martin Van Buren, was also a
widower president, and though he said.
sweet things without number, he did not
talk love. Jackson's wife was buried in
the dress made for her White House re-
ceptions, and Arthur put memorial win
dow to his wife in St. Johns church while
he was president, and always sat in her
old pew.--"Carp" in Cleveland Leader.

rr.marx Tastes or Flavors.

There are primary tastes or fiavors,
such for instance as sweet, sour, bitter,
the taste of garlic, ETC., just as there are
primary colors or primitive chords in
music. Like these, too, favors may be 80
blended, complemented and arranged
that good dinner shall be as much
work of art, as fine musical compost
tion or a great painting.
The gourmand is matter of fact man
who prefers quantity to quality. He is Q
valiant trencherfnan who likes to take on
his coat to attack his dinner. But your
true gourmet is soulful artist. He sets
his fiavors to music, SO to speak. He in
vents, combines and fits about among
gustables like q bee among flowers. Like
Epicurus, he believes that it is necessary
to be virtuous in order to be happy, there
fore he fingers long at the table and eats
slowly in order not to abuse his preci Gus
stomach.-New York Market Journal.

Reportinr n plp Fire.

II Mr. Dana, of The New York Sun, declares
that the most difficult subject for newspaper
reporter to handle well is n big fire. 1t has,
he says, SO many varied and varying aspects;
its cause must often be aecertained from lips
that are panic-stricken; its immediate and re-
mote consequences must be noted; the COM
panies in which the burned property was in
ruSed, the amounts OF the several policies, and
the extent Of the damage to owners and ten
ants, must be learned promptly and accurate
~, although most Of the sufferers are loath to
impert such information, because the next
1aorning they may wish to revise their esti-
mates Particularly when tile fire occurs TT

task a difficult one. No good city editor
