A Desirable Title.

l cannot imagine anything finer than
the story Of Baron SelIiere arriving il
this country with twenty-six trunks full
Of beautiful clothes, with firm deter
mination to marry rich and attractive
widow, and having his clothes all seized
for debt, then presenting himself at the
beautiful widows house with nothing 70
wear but an old steamer suit, and with
a monkey, parrot and bit Of cheese
in his hand. There seems to be an inn
preston that the baron does not pay his
debts because Of his eccentricity. 1t has
been banded about that he has an in
come Of 100000 francs a year.
This statement is scarcely consistent
with the baron's behavior in connection
with the seizure of his clothes, and the
whole farce calls to mind the extraor-
binary blindness which American women
display whenever d foreign title is in
view. Baron Selliere is eccentric to the
point Of violence, and he is likely to
occupy prominent place in the papers
during his stay here. An American who
did the things that the baron does would
have rather hard going in this cast iron
and commonplace age OF ours.-Blakely

Lack of Dancing Men In Iondon.

Apparently the dancing young man
has effaced himself Either our gilded
youth have grown more languorous, or
they have come to the conclusion that
terpsichoraan exercise can be much
more gracefully and attractively per
formed by young ladies alone. To
whatever cause it is attributable, the
unwillingness Of the smart Young
man" to attend dances is unnistakable,
This is q dull enough season, viewed
from any point, and it is, therefore,
doubly hard Oh hostesses who have
tried to infuse a little gayety into it by
organizing balls to find that they have
piped unto the gommeux in vain At
one or two of the few recent smart
dances the girls have been absolutely
destitute of partners, and have stood.

that some of the exquisites would spare

Emblemat;o Signs Going Out.

There is notable decay in the use
OF emblematic signs Oh shops in our
cities, the BARRIERS pole, the drug
gist's colored waters, the cigar pom
pey and tavern signs being about the
only ones that survive. This may be
due in part to the improved education
OF the masses Of the people, but the
antiquary can't help regretting the
change, for there wero some curl
Gus survivals in old signs, even the
druggists waters being q reminder

The wandering exiles whose origin
has been traced to the valley of the In
dies, make it rule to conform to the
dominant creeds Of their adaptive
lands. They are good Mqssulmen in
Turkey, Roman Catholics in Austria,
and Protestant Christians in northern
Germany and the United States. But
in addition to those dogmas of expe-
diency, they profess tencts Of an elder
creed which has been defined as a sort
Of sun worship, and involves rites
which are still observed at certain times
of the year, or even publicly upon ex-
traordinary occasions. A few weeks
ago hundreds of gypsies assembled at
Mascoutah, Ills, to attend the funeral
rites of Prince" Celiouka Taia, the

Circassian boys alfl girls may still be
bought even in Constantinople, and will
be SO long as parents are eager to sell
their children. The government may
pass laws and honestly carry them out,
but friendly transaction of this kind
cannot be prevented. AS the young
slaves grow up. however, they learn
their rights, and naturally they give
trouble. But Of late years it has be-
come a common practice in households
of the middle class to train Circassian

view, If he turn out well, of marrying
him to one Of the masters daughters.
