Rapidly, easily, amply, invitations for
here. there and everywhere began to pour
in upon me. dropped Jenny Blocker
ike a hot coal. gave her a distant bow
when we met and conducted myself to-
ward her without even the vaguest twinge
of gratitude. Gratitude? SnObs like my
seli-radical and thoroughbred snobs-
have 70 such word in their dictionaries.
Miss E,styork beamed upon me through
the rest of the season. | shot up like a
rocket, but did not come down like its rem
iniscsnt stick. did not come down at
all; ! remained permanently up.
The tidings of my peculiar and notable
promotion at the banking house of course
travelled fast. These tidings doubtless
helped me much, but the patronage of
Miss Eastyork helped me more. l now
had an evening to myself-and did not
want one. I was an immense social sIc'
cess, and wherever I went smiles were
lavished upon me. 1 was delighted; |
was in my element; was snOb who had
reached his ultimatum of snObbery-and
yet not quite.
No. quite. I wanted to marry the heir
ess and belle, Miss Effie EastyOrk.
Could do il? There were times when
fervently thought yes. There were times
when lukewarmly thought no. Family
influence was brought strongly to bear
upon Efie. She admitted as much her
self. But she loved me, and she was a
great matrimonial prize, and l, as a cOur-
sgeous and undaunted snOb, could nor for
sake the possibilities of so superb con-
quest.
Did I love her? Do arctic and heartless
snobs like myself ever love? wanted TO
marry her, and l waited the gracious sign
from her sweet lips which would permit
me to lay my snObbish devotion at her
feet.
1t had almost come, when l received a
note from my quondam friend Minns
Pratt. I had never thought that Minna
really cared for me, but when l read the
note of the tailor's daughter, with its ten
der inquiries as to where had been this
long time and why 1 had so cruelty kept
away from her, the truth that poor Minna
really loved me flashed upon my snobbish
aud relentless mind.
II am so SORRY" I said to myself. The
snob did not speak then. The chill. me-
chanic thing, my snobbish heart, spoke in
stead.
went to see Minna. She greeted me
with SO distinct an agitation that l saw
at once how miserable my absence had
made her.
"YOu are going out a great deal into
society ?n Minns said.
'Yes," Ireplied.
"You've-you've forgotten your old
friends"
"Oh, no. Don't say that"
81 do say il" softly asseverated Minns.
81 hear about society, though l don't go
into it. hear of how fond you are of a
certain girl"
what girl ~ asked.
Minna drew nearer TO me. She laid her
hand on my sleeve and looked up into my
face. l thought Of how far less winsome
aud beautiful her face was than that Of Effie
EAstyork.
Miss Eastyork," said Minna, steadily
gazing at me.
Still, though Minns's face was far less
beautiful than that of Efie Esstyork, 1
nevertheless felt as I gazed upon it that if
l had not been snob could have loved

when 7 first saw her che seemed to me

''When l first saw her che seemed TO me
worth any amount of civility."
Hsrlemfat tapped me familiarity on the
shoulder (''To think" swept through
nv snobbish brain, ''that Harlemtiat
should tap me familiarly on the shout
derW)
"S6e is an awfully nice girl" he said,
"ard she's got two millions IN her own
right. When she takes a fancy to any
man it means something. Go and talk to
her again. See if she isn't nice If she
isn't it's because she's got some other ish
to fry"
The gross vulgarity of this murmured
confidence received with the blandest in
diligence, and little later appeared be-
fore Miss Eastyork, smilingly reminding
her of nv presentation at Mrs. Smiths
ball last week.
She was surrounded by devotees; she
was an accepted belle. She had Dsauti-
full oval face, lit with dark, liquid eyes.
Her figure was the perfection OF symmetry;
AS stood before her, like the obelsant and
cripRing snob that was, l hardly dared
70 hope that I would receive more than q
faint. half disdainful smile in return.
Bat she put forth her slender hand, en-
cssed in long white glove, and beamed
upon me. n
81 thought You had forgotten me, Mr..
Blank" che said, giving my hand the
least little pressure and then dropping it.
1t was a dramatic episode. 1t was ike
Louis the Fourteenth comforting a cachet
of pardon upon some exiled courtier. You
may say that it merely happened in
New York ballroom, and that it was a
matter of no conceivable consequence. But
the Joys of snobs, like their bitter griefs,
must be measured by the psychological
import which they infer. History may
often deal only with the happiness and
misery of great people; but good deal OF
solid material for history is always going
on in the world without princes and prin-
cesses to indorse it as such.

That clasp OF the hand, that gracious
look from Miss Effie Eastyork, made me
social success. Her devotees drew back in
CONSERVATION. One or two of them were
ex.classmates, who had snubbed me at col
lepe. | had no sensation Of triumph then;
it came afterward Some one gave me a
seat at Miss Eastyork's side, perhaps obey
ing dainty, imperious gesture from her
self. I took the seat thus vacated. She
ignored all her surrounders. She bent the
bloom and brilliaDce of her lovely face
l felt, then, that must win
my way with her. She, an acknowl-
edged and reigning New York belle,
had extended to me the opportunity of
making myself attractive. But how
should l do 60? There was a thousand
ways, and vet what special one would
please her? l had no experience in the
arts required for this task, and while plan
after plan suggested itself to me with
lightning like speed none appeared prac-
ticable or even possible.
81 will be simply myself-a hard, dis
Greet, willy snOb," decided.
And L was. I met her beautiful face
and spoke to her without shadow of by
pocrisy, and yet with all the guileful dex-
terity and skill of which was somehow a
native master.
It pleased her. My beauty-and it
would be absurd to deny that l possessed
beauty of striking sort-had from the
first attracted her, and my perfectly unaf-
fected discourse, coming straight from the
soul of the born snob, completed my con-
quest.
All women who are bellies in New York
society fall in love with snObs. l have
never known a single instance to the con-
trary of this statement I have never
known au heiress who had the social New
York world at her feet to marry any one
except Z snob. They always do it. have
watched closely; have observed keenly;
and [ now state, as an incOntrOvertible
fact, that no New York girl who has her
pick and choice, by reason of wealth, good
looks and the conspicuous concomitants
which spring from these endOwments, ever
fails to select from her admirers, In mat
rimonial way, any one except thorough
and legitimate snob.
The unaffected overflow of my snObbish
soul pleased Effis EistyOrk that evening.
And from that evening was lance in
New York society.

A new PRESIDENT.

The administration of Grover Cleve-
land has ended and that of Benjamin
Harrison has auspiciously begun.
Doubtless, at this hour, the ex-Presi'
dent has the lighter heart aud less
anxious mind of the two. The crowned
head is always the troubled and un.
easy one.
OF late Mr.. Cleveland has been more
roughly criticised by those Of his own
political household than by the oppo.
site political party. This, we may say in
all candor, he brought upon himself.
Nature did not make him great or =
profound man, and he had no oppor-
tunity to get the necessary training to
become a statesman OF even mediocre
attainments. Mistaking his official au'
thority and large prerogatiyes for per-
sunal capacity and strength, ne ;ss-
j., sumed to lead: The great minds ofE .hls
party, when he ought to have been a
follower AMI co.worker with them. H..
vested with an official position far
his youthful ambition, he came to the
conclusion that he WAS destined
leader Of men. This cOnceit led him to
an adventure his party could not sus-
tain. Had he consulted with the ADLER
men of his own party. his free trade
message--a paper devoid Of origin
ality-a mere rehash Of the arguments
of the Golden club tracts--wOuld not
have been written. A party may put
its official crown upon u man, whose
thinking its members may not choose
to follow Had Grover Cleveland con-
suited the men he was in duty bound
tO consult his great blunder would
have been avOid-d--:,nd his official day
would have been longer.
Gen. Harrison g"es into office with
AL excellent personal record He has
had experience in law and statesman
ship. H. has clear perceptions and
sound Judgment. He is not conceited,
aud will call about him men who will
not mislrad him. He has no hobbies,
or personal vagarips to impose upon
the country. He will force no rash
changes into our financial policy to
bring d-rang In-nt o, depression. H.
will give us u thoroughly American
and statesinanlike administration, il
all the antecedents of his life be not
DeIied.

THE INAU GuRAL.

The first President of the second
century of the Republic WAS inaugu-
rated while floods Of rain descended
from the clouded sky. But the polit;-
cal heavens were not drear or glum in
consequence. Despite natures gloom
the outlook for our country is that of
hope and cheer.
The Inaugural address is wise and
happy both il its style, temper and sug.
gestons. The President renews his
VOW to carry out the principles lie was
elected to carry into effect. The prin-
ciple of protection and encouragement
to uome Industries is heartily adhered
to. Aud, while all reflections express
ing fear or d!strust Of any section are
avoided, an unequivocal pledge is made
that violence must not rule elections,
and American citizenship must be
more than mere hnue.
n Timely hint is given that whole
some restrictions are in order in regard
tn immigration. In alluding to the re-
cent complications with Germany the
phrases employed are courteous and
diplomatic, but the purpose avowed to
compel the same respect for our rights
We have habitually awarded to foreign
powers is firmly and clearly stated.
The peroration of the address ex-
presses the hope and desire of every
christian patriot that the census soon
to be taken will show great moral as
: we'll as material advancement among
all the states of the Union. All will
unite with the President in wishing
that: "When the harvests from the
fields, the cattle from the hills, and the
ores of the earth shall have been
weighed, counted and valned. we will
turn from them all to crown with the
highest houor the state that has most
promoted education. virtue, justice
and patriotism among the people,"

1t is singular where some young
men, who should know better, get the
idea that they must become brutal and
ruffian like in order IT, make what they
call fun. Among - half civilized tribe
of Pawhee Indians we should not be
surprised at an occasional outburst of
barbarity, bat we think it hardly a
supposable thing for students in a
New England College. On Washing
tons birthday some students of the
Wesleyan University by deliberate
plan exploded nitro-gIycerine bombs in
and about the College buildings. Six
bombs were sent by the father Of one
of the students, at the son g request by
telegram. Three of the bombs were
exploded, one Of them in the hands of
the student who set it off. He is now
lying in hospital suffering a FOOLS de.
serts. Cells in the penitentiary yawn
for such young barbarians. Strange
that hazing and cruel sports should be
tolerated in colleges. which, if done in
whiskey saloon or other low resort,
would hand the perpetrators over t0
the laws severest penalties.
