NEW YORK, April 20.
The most talked of event of the week 10
| the arrival of Duke de Versgus, a lineal
| descendant of Christopher Columbus of
| the thirteenth generation, entertained as
the city's guest. The freedom of the
| city, was presented 20 him ON embossed
| parchment at the formal reception teu-
dered him, and IL Ia to be hoped the Duke
knows what IL signifies; nobody else
does,
Surely Christopher Columbus would be
| rewarded, could he see the hospitable
manner in which his descendant is being
| feted, toasted and entertained, and surely
the Dukes heart must swell with pride At
beholding this great country, which bis
bonored ancestor felt his way across the
the Atlsntic four hundred years ego, to
discover.
Unlike the usual run of foreign nobility
that visit New York, the Duke lie Veragua
OF admirers by bis genial, courteous and
spontaneous mannerA and his apprecia-
ton of American hospitality and the marr
velous workings OF our industries and in
stiiutions His wife Ia equally charming,
aud a great beauty.
The party 10 qusrtered

the new Astor hotel, which surpasses any.
thing in this country for sor9eousness and
utter maRnificence, and their suite Of
rooms costs the city about one hundred
ard fifty dollars u day, not including
menu.
But this is not much for New York when
you consider that but for the Duke we
might still be the haunts of Indians and
buffalos.
Ihis last statement you must work out
in this manner: No Duke, no Christopher
Columbus; no Christopher Columbus, no
America; no America, no New York.

Everybody el9s was evidently OF the same
mind and the street was literally block.
AIDED; even the street cars could rot paBs.
I saw nothing but heard much. One little
cash girl wanted to know il he had on a
crown, and many we're disappointed be-
cause he was clothed like other men.
This marriage ia another instance OF
money and title joined together, and the
Martins have received a vast amount OF
free adverting and unpleasant notorieiy
from this alliance. OF course the wed-
ding, the breakfast, the reception aud
everything connected with il, was on the
most stupendous and magnificent and
utterly regardless OF cost style. Every"
body wonders how IL will all end and
seem malicious about It, and believe
would secretly rejoice II it terminated
disastrously. What l object TO is all OF
this money going out OF America, for 1

WILLIAM WALDORF ASToR,
the Oldest son of John Jacob Astor, who
as soon as bis father died, went to England
to live, where he now owns vast estates
and has bis capital invested in English
enterprises. John Jacob Astor wes

hard and accumulated his wealth in this
country. He was hardly cold in his grave
until his son went to England to 1--we, with

THE ENGLISH COB.
wonder il we have any national traits
and characteristics. L am inclined to
think that the American gentleman be-
longs to the pact generation and that the
young man OF today 10 an English snob,
or the imitation of one. A stroll through
Central Park convinces me that am right
in this statement.
The old school American gentleman
drives n light road cart or surrey with
Kentucky bred trotters, lithe-limbed and
spirited; his son drives on upgsinly
English cart, perched in mid air, with
heavy, bob tailed cob. This is "English

ENGLISH TOURISTS,
One meets a great many foreigners now
on the streets, people who have come
over to attend the Worlds Fair and are
doing New York en- route.
l Was 80 amused yesterday ut n party OF
English tourists, regular John Bulls, who
were seeing the sights OF New York with
blue Appleton's Guide Book. They were
standing in front of large structure al
the corner Of Broadway and 23d street,
and were trying to find 1t in the Guide
Book. The building belongs to n Life In
surauce company, but l imagine they
thought II was Liberty Hall or some state
building.
INDEED WE ARE.
A bright young lady connected with the
Worlds Fair management in New York,
told me little incident the other day that
10 worth repeating. Mrs. B. came over
from England as the representative of q
noted Woman's Club, in charge of their
exhibit, and the duty of showing her the
city was assigned to my friend Miss H.
On their rounds Mrs. B. observed fre-
quently the sign "Nstional," applied to
restaurants, express companies, banks,
markets., theatres, ETC., and inquired of
Miss f. what 1t meant.
"O,n said Miss H, II is simply name,
and / suppose they think they will do a
better business il they have patriotic
name"
Mrs. B hesitated a moment, meditst'
ing, and finally remarked, "O, yes, you
are native now.p
Misb II. told me that for the first time
in her life she felt like Haunting the
American bird, and with arms uplifted,
saying: "We arew
1t seems that this Mrs. B. did not
know what her exhibit was, to where IL
was billed, or anything about 1t, save that
there were seventeen cases, and was
obliged to cablegraph for information.
She evidently expected TO find the ships
ment waiting for her at tue exit from the
ship.
ABoU BEN ADHEM.
There Is fine old gentleman here who
has done SO much for working girls. He
hides his light under bushel, and only
his immediate friends know what good he
has done aud is doing. He never gets his
name in the papers or any notoriely, but
10 known as plain Mr. Schwinger, philans
Ihropisi.
He has given Mrs. Edward II. Hewitt
and a committee of ladies 5000 To send
poor girls, art students, to tne Worlds
Fair, but ne does not want any thanks or
any fuss made about 1t. Surely the re-
cordinO anUel will write his name nv the
