vulsarity of Fashionable People.

A row of stores have at their rear
windows opening on hotel yerandah.
In one of these is lot of women's
lingerie. The central object is a
chemise. 1t is a delicate and intricate
garment, and | find that whole page
of notes in my memoranda book, filled
at the time under the expert direction
of friend, has become undecipherable.
There are such words as valencies lace,
ACCORDION plaits, graduated yoke,
monogram on breast, and other un-
intelligibilities, but l cannot connect
them, and must rely on general re-
collection that the chemise was beau
tiful production of loom and needle
work.
The special point is that it was part
of the trousseau of forthcoming bride,
who was SO generally identified as the
prospective wearer of the admired gar
ment that her name was commonly
mentioned in connection with it
Couldn't she be content with toi
let display at the altar p he asked.
SO she might" was the reply ''iI
bridal dresses were glass instead ol
satin 1t is now or never if she wants
to let the public see this chemise."
This has had parallel-in Chicago
when Col. Fred Grant married the
lady who was then Miss Honore. Re
porters were shown the trousseau in
minutest detail, and were allowed to d.
reportial justice to the clocks on the
brides hose, and to the embroidery on
her underclothing both for day and
night wear. But even Chicago gagged
at this vulgarity, although it read al

international Copyrights.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ao.-At hear

mittee on Patents to authorize publish.
ers, and others interested in the subject
Of international copyright, Gardner
Hubbard addressed the committee in
opposition to the passage of any Copy
right bill.
James Russell Lowell, President of
the American Copyright League, was
introduced, and spoke at some length
in favor Of the passage of an interna-
tional copyright bill. In reply to Hub.
bard he said nobody would maintain
that there was property in an idea.
Property right was in the fashion Of
presenting ideas. The Constitution
recognized this in granting patents. Pat
ents we're nothing but ideas fashioned
in a certain way For instance, the
Bell telephone was purely parallel
case with books. He declared that
there was one kind of books better than
cheap books, and those were books
honestly come by. He took moral
view OF the question. Many of the
arguments introduced by Hubbard
might be used in defence of pocket
picking. One could live much easier
If he could live upon the earnings of
other people, but this was not consider
ed honest when he was young. Lowell
spoke for one hour, chiefly in reply to
inquiries addressed to him by members
OF the committee.
James Welsh, President of the Typo
graphical Union of Philadelphia, and
representing the union of the entire
country, addressed the committee and
presented memorial in support of the
Chace bill and in opposition to the

said the Hawley bill, amended as sug-
gested by Senator Hawley yesterday,

A Washington correspondent gives
the following as the origin of once
popular song 81 heard curious story
yesterday in regard to the well-known
song,
No one to love ! none to caress
Travelling alone through life's wilderness, etc.
"The author of this soEg lives here in
Washington, and he boards at hotel
within square or SO of the White
House. He is now man of perhaps
forty and he wrote the song many years
ago. He was in love with a beautiful
girl and the day was fixed for their
marriage. In the interval between the
engagement and this day the war broke
out and the young man enlisted. He
was on the field when the time approach
ed for his wedding. 1t was on the
eve of great battle, and the first
battle inwhich the young waste take
part. He wrote to his sweetheart ask
ing her to postpone the day of the
marriage until after the fight. This
she refused to do, and said if he did
not return and keep his part of the
agreement she would consider the en-
gagement of. The young man pre-
ferred to trust to luck in regard to the
engagement, to being considered
coward in running away from his first
battle, and remained on the field. His
lady love, however, was so piqued at
the refusal that she persisted in her re-
lection of his suit and married another
man. Inspired with the feeling of the
desertion, the rejected wrote the song
which has had such wide run. He
not only wrote the song, but he remain
ed true to his first love, and for some
time, the story goes, he has been living
here with his mother. Not long ago,
however, his loves husband died, and
since that time he has renewed the ac-
quaintance of the widow, who, though
older than when he went to the war, is
still charming The old fame has, it
is said, revived in the fair widows
breast, and there is fair prospect of
a match"

Tho Wizard Pays Visit to the Luna
tic Asylum.
BY special invitation, Professor Herr
mann, assisted by his wife, gave half
hours exhibition Of his simpler, but
no less mysterious, magic, to the
patients of st. Elizabeth's yesterday
afternoon. Probably five hundred of
those whose light of reason has given
out collected in the great hall of the
institution to witness the performance,
and although at first they looked with
unmeaning eyes, as soon as the Profes.
sor called one of their number as con-
federate in his tricks, the interest be.
gan to grow, and before he had fin.
ished he was greeted with rounds of
applause and thoroughly appreciative
laughter.
Among those In the front row was
Colonel Burnside, who manifested but little
interest In the proceedings. To one OF the
visitors he said that he had been to see Mrs
Bowers recently, and that he had had con-
gestion as q result, and he thought this
performance would do him no good. He
was locking In excellent health, with clear
eyes and ruddy cheeks and bore stronger
resemblance to an officer Of the institution
than to a patient. After the exhibition a
pleasant little lunch was served IN the re.
ception rooms and the officers their wives
and the visitors enjoyed bright half an
hour, Professor Hermann playing various
pranks and completely paralyzing DR.. God
ding's received ideas Of physiology by hay

the word Of command instantly stopping

The visiting party was IN charge OF Sam
Romaine of the National Theatre, and one
Of the carriages was that used by the insti-
tuition for taking patients out to drive. In
this were four newspaper men, two ladies,
Romaine and Harry Ford. or course
everybody knows this vehicle by sight, and

began to experience the queer sensation Of
| being on exhibition as lunatics out for an
airing. They were equal to 1t, however,
| and greeted the gazers with wild stares,
shaking Of fists, shrieks Of laughter and
other demoniac proceedings, which won
| plying glances from all observers. The
afternoon was glittoring success In every
particular.
