Jessie Fremont
General Fremont's Memoirs.

Oencral FT6mOnJe AAcAACho@
Jessie was the second daughter. l
went with the eldest OF the sisters TO
a school concert in Georgetown,
where saw her. She was then just IN
the bloom of her grlish beauty, and
perfect health effervesced in bright
talk which the pleasure OF seeing her
sister drew out. Naturally l was
attracted. She made the effect that
a rose of rare color or beautiful pict'
ure would have done.
Her beauty had come far enough
down from English ancestry to be
now in her that American kind which
is made up largely OF mind expressed
in the face; but it still showed ies
Saxon descent.
Her qualities were all womaniy,
and education curiously preserved
the down of modesty which was innate.
There had been no experience OF lie
to brush away the bloom. She had
inherited from her father his grasp
OF mind, comprehending with tena.
cious memory, but with a quickness OF
perception and instant Relation OF
subjects and senses in their compiet-
ed extent, which did not belong TO
his; and with these warm sympathles
a generous pity for human suffering
and a tenderness and sensibility that
made the feeling take the place oil
mind; so compelled was every impulse
to pass through these before 1t could
reach the surface to find expression.
There was rare union OF intelil,
gence to feel the injury OF events and
submission to them with silence and
discretion, and withal sweet, and
happy, and forbearing temper, which
has remained proof against the wear
ing OF time. Insensibly and imper-
ceptibly in these frequent meetings
there came q glow into my heart
which changed the current and color
of daily life, and gave beauty to
common things.

The Scandalous British Aristoc-
racy.

Miss Glider, Corr Boston Saturday Even
ing Gazette.
The Lonsdale family's connection
with the world is something little
short OF discreditable. Ishould think
that English laws would have some
clause in them to cover such testers
on the escutcheons of noble families
by which they could be treated in
some violent manner, or else be flung
into the sea. The Lonsdales are one
of the oldest of Great Britain's Oldest
families, and one of the most con-
temptible. Both male and female,
they have been a bad lot, and the
present lord is about the most un-
blushing specimen OF the race. was
a good deal OF a conservative in my
English political feelings till | went
to England, and when / heard at
first hand of the low condition OF
aristocratic morals / became more of
q liberal, and | think that if England
could wipe out her aristocracy she
would be much better of as country.
How she has held her own as a great
country with such an encumbrance is
hard to understand. 1t certainly
shows that moral qualities do not 60
very much in the makeup of a nation.
The French people have the reputa-
ton of being the most corrupt in their
moral character, but l don't think
that they compare with the English
aristocracy. The English middle class
are all right. They are as decent a
set of men as there are in the world,
but there are none more indecent
than titled families OF England,
women as well as men. / never in
my life heard such scandals as / heard
in London, and they came so straight
and were so well known that there
was no reason for disbelieving them.
