English Families of ArImtocratfc Lin
cage Who Are Reduced TO Penury.
Gcorrespondence OF the San Francisco ArgonAut-l
A curious and at the same time in
structive spectacle of the vicissitudes of
the English aristocracy was presented one
day this week in the Bournemouth county
court. The Hon. John Bruce Ogilyy,
a son of the Earl of Airlie, and uncle of
the present peer of that name, was up be-
fore the court on two Observation-Disclosures
for debt, in the respective sums of fifty
seven pounds and five pounds sterling.
The Hon. John is a man about hfty-fve
years of age, and, under examination, he
made the astounding statement that he was
absolutely without means of any sort. His
nephew, the present earl, he said, had Civ
en- him a voluntary weekly allowance of
"a for board and lodging, and this had
lately been reduced to e3. 1t did not sp
pear that the defendant was a reckless
spendthrift of the too prevalent aristocra-
tic pattern, that he was addicted to drink,
or was guilty of any crime or misdemeanor
against the canons of society He was
simply penniless, and his sole fault was
poverty.
There are many reduced" families in
the English peerage. That of the Mar
quisate of Donegal is one of the most glar-
ing examples of the financial decay of cor
onets. Lord Donegal lives in a third-rate
street in the city of Winchester. The earl
of Belfast was summoned the other day
before the Winchester country court for
debt-like the Hon. John Ogilyy-and then
confessed that he had been following the
business of q horse-trainer. There are
loads of others, and 1 must look them up
and make list of them some day. 1t
would furnish interesting reading for title
struck Americans who are in search of
lordly husbands for their daughters.
But the case of Ogilvy would seem TO be
peculiarly hard one. His nephew, the
present earl of Airlie, the gentleman who
SO generously allows his impecunious un-
Gle the beggsry pittance of SIS week, is
| q rich man. He is captain in that swell
cavalry regiment, the Tenth Husssrs, whose
colonel is no less a parsonage than the
Prince of Wales himself The captain is
the possessor of several country places as
well as house in London. He has seen
some active service in Egypt, however, and
is not q gsrrison-town soldier only. Lord
Airlie, by the bye, is married TO a very
beautiful and charming wife. She is a
daughter of the Irish earl of Arran, a peer
who, at one time, it was said, was going to
marry Mrs. Hicks-Lord-buth he did not.

Applications for the bounty on sugar
produced in this country show the proba-
bility of much larger yield the present
season than the internal revenue officers
have been counting upon, Louisiana alone
presenting applications for the bounty on
an. estimate of $50, 600, 900 pounds. Those
who are interested to see the northern and
western States represented in the produc-
ton of sugar will be gratifed to learn that
the seasons production of beet or sorghum
sugar is estimated at 81, ,000, 900 pounds,
showing that this industry is assuming a
very respectable Importance.

that our homeliest customers have the

to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln. Neither of the
gentlemen was seriously alarmed by this
statement; still it was determined that no
risks should be run. In furtheranee of
this conclusion, it was authoritatively
stated and reported in the newspapers that
the president and vice-president elect would
travel together on q certain train from New
York directly to Washington. Instead of
this, however, Mr.. Hsmlim want to Wash
1ngton alone on train other than the one
which had been designated in the news
paper report. He journeyed safely and
without disturbance in an ordinary sleep
ing car until he reached Baltimore. There,
though the hour was very early in the
morning, he found that there were scores
of people in the depot, and many rough
looking characters, with oaths andthreats,
boarded the train with the outspoken inten-
ton of taking look at the "nigger-loyer,
Abe Lincoln" Finding that Mr. Lincoln
was not on the train, however, and not
recognizing Mr.. Hamlin, who was laying
quietly in his berth, they made no further
demonstration, and the train went on,
reaching Washington in due time. Mr.
Lincoln, it may be well to add, proceeded
from New York to Harrisburg, and from
that point went to Washington, where he
arrived safely early upon the morning after
Mr.. Hamlin. The president-elect was met
at the Baltimore and Ohio depot by Mr..
Washburne and Senator Steward, and by
them accompanied to Wizards hotel, where
he remained quietly until the day of the
Inauguration. On that day it was notable
that neither Mr.. Hamlin nor Mr.. Lincoln
shared the fear of an attack upon them
which was held by many of their friends
Mr.. Hamlin said that on the memorable
occasion in question Mr.. Lincoln was
''calm, quiet and serene as summer day" !"
Nor was the vice president-elect in any
way disturbed by the threats and rumors
which filed the capital. Subsequently,
however, during conversations with Gener-
al Scott. who was known to have been
greatly alarmed for the safety of the in
coming president and vice-president, Mr..
Hamlin was led to believe that the sense OF
security which he enjoyed was only to be
attributed to lack of knowledge the pos
session which might have made him quite
as uneasy as was General Scott and others.

The modern system OF advertising
makes the public familiar with the
names and in some cases with the
eountenances of inventors and manu-
facturers, and so strong is the power
of association that on meeting one Oh
these much advertised persons as a
private individual it is difficult for
some persons to refrain from asking
him instantly about the article to
which his features seem to be only a
sort of trademark.
A lady who was making an evening
call met "A man of the name of Brown,
who had invented an improved button
hole making attachment for a sewing
machine, and whose name, preceded
by hideous caricature of his face, had
been onnipresent in the advertisements
for some time He had two charming
daughters whom the lady had seen not
long before. and with whom she had
been greatly pleased.
During the entire call she had sue
ceeded in addressing Mr. Brown by his
rightful name only by great mental ex-
ertions. as another word was constantly
trembling on her lips
At last he rose to go, and with a sigh
of relief she heard his good evening,

ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE.
LONDON, Oct. l5.-The return of
Lord Salisbury to the foreign office
is believed TO be chiefly with refer
ence to the threatening state of
affairs in the East. The Russian
defiance Of British power in Asia,
by the virtual seizure of the Pamir,
the question of the Dardanelles, and
the renewed demand of the porte
for the evacuation of Egypt are the
foreign issues imperatively demand
ing Lord Sslisbury's attention.
Domestic affairs he leaves for the
present to his lieutenants, having
apparently determined not to hold a
general election until the legal
termination ot parliament, unless
an unfaVorable opportunity should
occur. No one anticipates that
Lord Salisbury will even consider
seriously the evacuation Of Egypt,
and the question of the Dardanelles
is not supposed to be dangerous. 1t
is another matter as TO the Pamir
and rs TO the Russian encroaehments
on the Afghan frontier. If it is
true, as reported, that Captain
Younghusband has been killed by
the Russians, while attempting to
explore the Pamir, Lord Salisbury,
II is expected, will take stern
measures, if necessary, TO restrain

One Of A. T. stewards Tricks.

An old employe of the late A. L.
Stewart, the millionaire dry goods mer-
chant of New York, tells an instance
which shows the means sometimes en-
ployed by that gentleman for enforc-
ing the rules of his store. There was a
rule to the effect that no person en-
ployed in the building should carry
matches under the penalty of dismissal.
One evening as Mr. Stewart was
passing through the store on his way
home he suddenly turned to a number
of clerks who were standing near the
door and asked:
Can any one oblige me with
matchT
No one answered for a moment, till
one of the men, prompted by courtesy
and thinking his employer would not
take advantage of him, replied. Ger
