the ambitious project Of getting her
Son safely welded to well-l<nown
sheiress, who shall be namelcss here.
That she will DO hero very shortly no
one questions, but her going has
brought up once more o peculiar So
yciety snarl, quito unprecedented in cul-
tured purlieus. Mrs. NIan!iay is Il par
fisan on one side of the war, and hns-
tened tc London with the intention of
. fbeing prominent IN the frav.
"a The conflict arises out of the rival
ambitions of Henry White, our former
secretary of legation in London, and
Hhe present American ambassadoral
REGIME there to control the social
destinios of our countryman and coun-
Itrywomen. Henry White has never
forgiven those who caused his rather
Sgnominious election from position
of great social Importance. His
wrongs were taken up by numerous
section Of the American colony, which
believed that Mr.. White had been
fricltcd out to get an Astor in. 1t was
fbittcrly Inserted that Mr.. White would
take house In London and show the
la,nbsssadorinl regime that it would
.suffer socially. To be sure, tho am
Yhassador presents at court, but the
ambassador cannot got the smart set
TO take anyone up. That requires an
lother kind of iphuence-the sort pos
r3hssed by Henry White. When, thcro-
hnre, any individual had tho backing
;Ot the embassy ho was sure to be
drowned down by the White faction.
e That brought about highly compli-
seated situation for Americans eager to
fbe a-ecognizcd socially in England.

There was runor circulated TO that

powerful woman, and If so sue Is being

A scattered petal here and there has futtered

tion I read 1t at my desk from the proofs freshly printed. Going into the next room with the sheets in my hand I found MT. Phillips there correcting proofs. After mutual greetings I said to him: MT Phillips, have been reading your to-days oration and 1t Is not wholly new to me. The ar- gument of it and in some parts the lan- guage bring to mind another oration by you which it was my privilege to hear" "When was that?" said he. "In New Haven in 1S57," l replied, Did you hear me then?" said he. Well, the two addresses do have much Tn common" Then dropping his pencil and turning his chair about, he con- tinued: "I'will tell you how l came to deliver that address, It was sudden call MT Sumner had been chosen to be the orator and had accepted, but when the time approached he was yet too unwell (from the Brooks assaul) to perform the duty. The substitute was also unavailable. The officers of the society were at loss what to do and Sumner recommended that I be invited telling them that I could pre- pare an address at short notice. That is how I happened to be at Yale that year"
 have been at pains to examine file of local paper and discover that at the annual meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa society on July 30, 1856, Charles Sumner was elected to be orator in 1S57 and Professor Cornelius C. Felton of Cambridge was designated as the sub stitute
 Therefore MT. Phillips was not invit- ed by a vote of the society, reversing 'by larger majority" it's former vote. He was called upon in an emergency by the officers or a committee who as- sumed the responsibility of inviting the great abolitionist.
 Whether there is any truth in the story of his having been defeated as a candidate for the place in the meeting of the society in 1855 I do not know, but I give no credit to it on this author ity.
 It is the fate of men of distinction to be victimized by inventors of anec- dotes; but this invention is so bald and so ruthless of the fame of polished gentleman and orator that I have thought 1t worth while to expose its falseness. WALTER ALLEN.

Elm Leaf Beetles.

Last summer many elms about town
 were partly stripped of their foliage
 by new pest known as the elm leaf beetle The beetles first made little round holes in the leaves, as if they had
 been riddled with bird shot Then they deposited their larva in double rows on the under side of the leaves. The
 beetles then disappeared but soon the larva had developed and ate away the upper and under portion of the leaf, leaving only the hbrous net work to dry up and drop off After awhile they crawled down the tree and were seen there in heaps, some hiding in the erevices of the bark.
 At that time most of them might easily have been gathered up and burn ed, but they were something new and but little noticed. About a week later the fully developed beetles were again seen and were ating holes in such of the leaves as had before escaped. Tn August they began to seek winter quarters in sheltered places, quantities of them coming into the houses and hiding in any secluded place between boards or papers, in crevices around windows, and under the edges of car pets, which they in some cases nlbbled considerably.
 During the recent warm days the beetles have crawled out of their hid- ing places and started on another round. They were imported free of
 luty) and are spreading rapidly, and unless some means are adopted to de- stroy them they will In time destroy our fine shade elm trees.
 The larva can be destroyed by spreading the trees with Paris green or London purple, the latter part of May of the first of June, or by gathering up the pupae about the base of tlle elms in July. For spreading L5ndon purple or Paris green should be mixed with wa ter at the rate of a pound of either in 150 gallons of water or say a quarter of pound to a barrel of 40 gallons, add ing to the latter 4 pound lime and pint of molasses. A second spraying should be given a week after the first, when the larva begin to hatch out
 It would be well for the neighbors to unite in the purchase of apparatus for spraying, or if some one would secure such apparatus and let it be known that he was prepared to do such work he would likely be patronized by those who care to preserve their shade trees, as well as to be rid of the annoyance of the bugs or beetles swarming into the houses in the fall-Seymour Rec ord.
