LONDON SOCIETY.

Directions to Americans and Others for
Gaining Admission to 1t.
The season has come TO an end, and
the substitution of the aristocracy of
wealth for the aristocracy of birth, as
entertainers of society,"" has made
further progress. The rich give par
ties and thus pay their way into society,
and those already in it honor these
parties with their presence. Some Of
iiie entertainers are domestic, others
exotic. The first step is to have large
house, the second TO be ready to spend
lavishly in it, the third to find sOm0 one
TO bid society people to the feasts. So
that the first two conditions are full
filled, and that the "some one be we'll
selected, the aspiring snob soon blooms
into a society parsonage, and his or her
house becomes a recognized rendezvous
of fashion. Our aristocracy is not
difficult in these matters. They want
to be fed, and to be given balls and
parties, and whether the entertainer be
an ex-convict or an ex~cOok matters
very little to them, provided that the
best of every thing be provided At
the first party of the social aspirant,
the "some one in society" must pro-
vide half-a-dozen grandes DANES and
half-a-dOzen society beauties as decoys.
At the second party, the prince"
must by hook or by crook be in
duced to come, and. if possi-
BILE, the "Princess;" and this is
easily done by getting hold OF some
lady of his set. Afterward there IS no
trouble, the house becomes a recOg-
nized caravansery for sOcieSy. II there
be any difficulty in getting the decoy
ducks, presents judiciously given, are
useful: whilst the 'tsome one IN socl-
ety'' who is to secure them may always
be obtained by paying the price of the.
article If there are any bitches,
house at Ascot, or near GOodWOod, or
at Cowes, with beauty or two 10 stay
during the week, is very catching
bait. If at Cowes, it would be well
to hire also a yacht.
/ mention all this because Paris Is
not what il was, and there are many
wealthy Americans who find il now
adays more difficult than heretofore to
obtain good footing there, no matter
what they spend; and 1 can assure
them that they will not find any cap
| ital in Europe 50 likely to respond TO
their society aspirations as London,
while their presence here will greatly
benefit our tradesmen and be positive
0oon to our pleasure-loving but close
listed aristOcracy. They will per-
haps, be a little laughed az and
snubbed at the commencement Of their
career, but they have only 10 perseyere,
to spend freely and TO put themselves
into good hands, to become stqrs of
the first magnitude in the social irma-
ment. Indeed, If the thing be proper
ly managed, they may, before long,
snub others themselves. and give them
| selves out as exclusives. -L L0n0Oa

SUNDAY in CHARLESTON.

The Day Given Up to Religious Services
The Work of Restoration Going On-The
Telegraph and Telephone Service Re
stored-The Relief sCommittees Doing
Good and Efficient Work.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 2O.-Yester-
day was a different day from last Sunday,
by reason of the suspension of the work
of reopening thoroughfares, which d
week ago was in full blast. COmmunica-
tions are now pretty well restored, the
telegraph lines are in operation and the
Telephone Exchange is working nearly
everywhere. The worst feature of the
day was a heavy rain in the morn
ing, which injured considerably the con-
tents of exposed dwellings,, and made the
remaining campers-Out particularly un-
comfortable. But the discomfort and
loss were nothing in comparison with
what would have been the effect of q
downpour ten days ago. The feature of
the day, as was the case on last
Sunday, was the Open-air worship.
The Mariners Church had services
on one of the ships in the harbOr The
Presbyterian and Huguenot Church serV-
ices were on the Battery. The cOngrega-
ton of Grace Church worshiped in the
Sunday school building; the Second

dence of Mr.. J. S. Riggs; St. Johns
Lutheran in its Sunday school, and other
congregations in their own churches.

The close of the week enables the
work of the relief committee to be re-
viewed, and it is certain that every one
needing food and shelter has been pro-
vided for. Besides this, most valuable
work has been done by what is desig-
mated as the immediate relief committee,
which gives small sums of
money to clearly established cases
of need, outside of food and
lodgings, so as to provide for cloth
ing, bedding, the removal of furniture and
other like requirements. This committee
considers also applications where means
of livelihood have been des troyed by the
earthquake. For purposes of urgent
need and early assistance, this commit
tee is doing admirable work. The mother r

'All right, IRE away" said the old
soldier, taking off his coat and stretch"
ing himself on the operating table.
Ether was administered and the dam
aged eve removed. Right behind the
eye was found a piece of wad abous
the size of half q dollar. How it had
not killed him was miracle.
The last case to be brought in was an
instance of how much is done in
charitable institution, like the AleXian
Brothers, for poor patients. 1t was
the case of a young German who had
been run over by street car and had
his leg fractured. His leg began to
slough, and he has been an inmate OF
the hospital since last December.
There is very little hope, if any, OF his
leg being saved, and even if it shanid
be, he will be a cripple for life. The
chances are he will die soon, but he
steadily refuses to have his leg cut Oft
If this had been done some time ago he
would have been going about now with
an artificial leg, but he won't allow it.
In his case it is sheer cowardice that
prevents him giving his consent, and
unless he does It the doctors are unable
to operate on him. Meanwhile he re-
ceives the best the hospital affords IN
the way of food and surgical dress
ings, and he must have cost the
Brothers at least five hundred dollars
since his admittance. While he was
being dressed he beloved like a bun
and began the believing before he was
even touched
The doctor was just putting up his
instruments after this case when the
clang of the bell of the patrol-wagon
was heard, and two policemen shortly

nineteen years of age. The boy gavs
his name as Joseph Tobias, and said
he had attempted suicide in Lincoln
Park by taking poison, the reason
being that he had no home, no friends,
no work and no money. He was at
tended to, and there is some chance OF
his recovery.
The reporter and the doctor then
walked through the hospital and visited
some of the private rooms where pay
patients are treated. In one room was

badly hurt by the upsetting OF

MUNICH, June l0.-The physicians
appointed to examine the mental
condition of King Ludwig have re-
..orted his malady incapacitates him
from governing property. In on
sequence of this, Prince Lultpold, uncle
to the king, hes issued a proclama-
ton, countersipned by the ministers, in
which he assumes the regency, and sum
mons the Bavarian diet to meet on the
18th instant. Count Holstein, who was
instructed by the ministry to wait upon
the king and ask him to authorize the APP
pointment of a regency council, was ar
rested by order of the king when he en-
tered the castle of Hohenschwangan.
The king also gave orders that a guard of
gens'd 'armes be placed around the castle.
The issue OF an order by the regent to
release Count IIolstein and to surrender
the castle to the commission is hourly ex-
pected.

BELFAST, June l0.-The funeral of
Thomas Gallagher, the Orangeman who
was shot and killed during the riot at
Lurgan on Tuesday, took place to-day.
The funeral procession was protected by
100 soldiers and 200 policemen. A mob
of Catholics iecred the mourncrs and
threatened to stop the hcarsc, but the
police held them in check.
The political excitement is leading to
dangerous quarrels among the women in
the factories at Lurgan. AT one factory
the protestant females have struck work,
demanding the dismissal of the Catholics.
Rioting was renewed to-night. An intu-
rated mob held possession of the streets
and wrecked and pillaged the tavcrns.
The police were compelled to fire buck
shot into the mob. So far as known no
one was fatally wounded. Many police
men were injured by stones. The appeals
of the clergy to the rioters to disperse
were futile. Eventually troops cleared
the streets.

WmKEsBARRE, Pa, June lO.-At
Parsons at a late hour last night people
were terrified by what is supposed to have
been an explosion of gas in the Mineral
Spring mine of the Lehigh Coal company.
Many persons living within a short dis
lance of the mine were hurled about in
their homes, and Others thought for a
moment that an earthquake had occurred.
A large number OF houses in the vicinity
of the mine were badly shaken and a
great number of windows were shattered.
The surface of the ground in the vicinity
of Philadelphia and Reading depot have
fallen fully two feet and it is still settling.
Three house about 300 feet from the
mine, were moved a surprising distance
from their original positions. No lives
were lost. Some miners think there was
no explosion and that the conclusion was
caused by the rush of air due to an extern
sive cave in the mine.

New Brunswick, N. j., June u
A sensation was developed in the session
of the Reformed church synod to day.
The special committee to investigate the
affairs of the board Of domestic missions
reported its former treasurer, John S.
Smith, was short in his accounts , 5000.
The report said the board was occasionally
forced to borrow money to meet its re-
quirements; that it had authorized Treas
urer Smith to give notes for such pur-
poses, binding the board, and that, taking
advantage of his authority, he had Dor
rowed and converted to his own use the
sum named. 1t was stated that no prop
erty IN his name could be found, though
he had been treasurer of an insurance
company which failed, and is now treas
urer of another. A resolution authorizing
the prosecution Of Smith, if it is deemed
expedient, was passed; also one to regu-
late the affairs of the board of domestic
missions, with a view to prevent the re-
currence of such an affair.

Artesian Wells for Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-When the
agricultural bill was taken up in the sen
alto to day, Mr.. Miller, in the course of
some remarks on the bill, referred to the
ravages of the rice birds which, he said
caused a loss equal to 81 per acre of all
the rice crop of the United States. The
ravages of the English sparrow, he added,
were much worse than those Of the rice
birds, and amounted to many millions of
dollars per year. The sparrows were rap
idly on the increase: it was believed by the
Chronological Association of the United
States that steps should be taken to exter-
inmate the sparrows. This association,
Mr.. Miller said, which was composed of
amateur scientists all over the United
States. was doing most excellent work in
the investigation of the food and habits of
birds hat are injurious to agriculture
Mr.. Dolph read an amendment reported
from the committee on public lands, ap-
propriating s., 900 to aid in the reclama-
ton of the arid region in Washington
Territory by the sinking of a~rtesian wells.
Mr.. Beck said no good had ever come
from experiments in sinking %artesian wells;
he opposed the amendment. MIR. Dolph
said the territorial legislature of Washing
ton had appropriated $4,000 to aid in
boring an a~rtcsian well in the arid region
to see whether water cannot be got there.
This amendment, he said, was intended
as a contribution by the United States to
that appropriation. Private individuals
would also contribute to it, as the whole
question was one Of great interest in the
Northwest. Mr.. Teller advocated the
amendment. He spoke of the great ad-
vantages to accrue from the discovery
that water may be got in the arid region
by boring a~rtesian wells. The lands were
absolutely worthless without water. Mr..
Chase thought the amendment should be
called ian amendment authorizing men to
bore into the treasury of the United
States" Mr.. Mitchell said il was an err
ror to suppose there was any Job" in the
proposed appropriation. He advocated
the amendment as Of great importance to
! the territory Of Washington.
