SMAlLEY ON THE ENGLISH.

Their Social Life Discussed by the Noted
Correspondent to Yale Students.
George w. Smalley, the noted foreign
correspondent, recently spoke under
the auspices of the Phi Beta Kappa So
ciety at Yale on the subject, Social
Life in England" The lecture was de-
livered at New Haven for the first time,
and was very instructive of the charac-
teristics of society life in England. Mr..
Smalley was introduced by Prof. Ed
ward ]. Phelps, of Yale, ex-minister to
England. Mr.. Smalley admitted in his
predatory remarks that there was much
paltry and ignoble in London society,
but he confined his description to the
bright side of English social life. Mr..
Smalley declared that not wealth, fame,
honor, nor even rank alone, gave po-
sition in English society, and stated
that many of the titled personages of
the realm were outside the gates of
what is known as society. He said that
position in society in England was OBJ
tanned and held only by a combination
of leading traits of mind and character.
Mr.. Smalley interspersed his talk with
a vast number of pertinent anecdotes
illustrating the different phases of Lon.
don society life. He spoke of the mani
fest regard for the company of others
by the members of London society, and
declared that Mr.. Gladstone was the
only person in the last half century
who had ever been able to ignore this
rule without paying the penalty. He
enumerated many of Gladstone's char
acteristics, showing him to be arbitrary
at all times in society. In concluding,
Mr.. Smalley called the English "the
greatest of actual races" and said that
we had much to learn from them, they
from us and the world from both.-Troy

sNIDB ADVERTISING SCHEMES.

From the National Liquor Dealer fol-
May.
Inc Snide advertising scheme is
a great nuisance to the legitimate
newspaper. These snide schemes
are in the shape of little program
sheets, card board directories and
Jim crow newspapers and special
editions that are never circulated.
Smart business men who have
to be drummed daily to advertise
legitimately will bite at the pro-
gram, the card board, or the spe-
cial write up and pay literally for
the privilege of being humbugged.
A taffy write up will catch a whole
lot of doctors, lawyers, politicians
and merchants who never think
of patronizing the legitimate news
paper.
A newspaper without an estab.
lished circulation and a certain
support is not a good advertising
medium, yet plenty Of people
jump into just such publications.
Now, we want to say to the
saloon men, who are forever pay
ing for advertisements in humbug
schemes, save your money and
patronize the legitimate newspa-
per and patronize the paper that
stands for your business. Don't
be humbugged and imposed upon

A noted eastern lecturer says that
the most surprising compliment she
ever received was at the close of a lee
ture she gave in a town in Idaho. The
hall in which she lectured was crowded,
and she noticed in the audience an
elderly man who riveted his eyes upon
her and listened with open mouth to
every word she said.
He came up to the platform at the
close of the lecture and said, heartily,
while he grasped her hand until she

Keeping EMPLOYEES Honest.

"Distrust probably makes moro
thieves than We're ever evolved by the
laws of heredity," said a gentleman re-
Gently who has a business in which he
employs a large number of men, all
holding positions in which the element
of trust is peculiarly great. In my
business I always make my men under
stand that have the utmost confidence
in them, and the result of this has been
that have never had an employee ex-
hibit the least dishonest trait
'tPut, a man OH his honor and make
him know that he is not being watched,
but being trusted, and he will rarely,
unless disposed to it by heredity, steal.
OF course some men are borg thieves
and should never be trusted They steal
because the influence is too great for
them to resist. Often surrounding a
man with all sorts Of devices and sys-
TENS to prevent him from stealing has
the effect of causing him to look out for
a way of beating the bank We are all
strangely susceptible to that much talk
ed of force, ggestion-more than we
appreciate--and when the very environ
ment in which we work suggests dis
honesty every minute it is not much
wonder that it has very positive effect
upon the mind in causing it to think
dishonesty. '-Pittsburg Dispatch.

time, he was at length removed, with
other political prisoners, to Fort George

thither that he distributed copies of the
following poem, which was regarded as
a proof Of his return to loyalty:

HER FIRST REHEARSAL.
Mary Anderson de Navarro Tells of the
PreIiniaaries of Her Stage Debut.

Mary Anderson de Navarro Tells of the
PreHsninaries of Her Stage Debut.
In writing of her first appearance on
the stage Mary Anderson de Navarro
tells in The Ladies Home Journal that
! the opportunity to play was presented
her by Manager McCauley at his Louis
| vile theater. The star who was playing
at the theater had failed to attract pay
ing houses, and DR.. Griffin, who was
Mrs. de Navarro's stepfather and her
business manager; suggested to Mr.. Nc
Cauley that she be given a chance to
play. The offer was gladly accepted, and
Mrs. de Navarro writes that there was
only one rehearsal, and it was called for
the next morning. 'On my way to the
cathedral, y she adds, 81 was enchanted
to see posters on the fences making the
announcement The main part of the
poster was devoted to advertising Mines
Levick in the Spy, and at the bot
tom in smaller type the show bill read ::
Saturday Evening, Nov.27, 1S75.-Miss Mary
Anderson, young lady of this city, will make
her first appearance on any stage as Juliet in
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Mines
Levick as Mercutio, and powerful cast of
characters.
Gas was in the quiet church tho
hour for rehearsal struck, and I started
for the theater in radiant frame of
mind. Passing with my people through
the darkened house and private boxes
covered with their linen busters, I found
myself for the first time upon the stage
How strange and dreamlike it seemed,
that empty theater, lighted only here
and there by the faint glimmer Of the
gray day without, bereft Of all the eager
faces it had always been peopled with!
And the stage! How dismal it was with
the noisy patter Of the rain On its tin
roof, small gas jet burning in the cen
ter. throwing dingy light On the men
and women (they did not relish the ox-
ira rehearsal), gloomily standing i'll the
wings On seeing me, all looked sur-
prised. Some made remarks in whispers,
which ! felt to be unkind others laughed
audibly. Scarcely IS, my hair in long
braid, my frock reaching to my boot
tops, tall, shy and awkward, I may
have given them cause for merriment,
but it was as cruel, I thought, as u1ider-
bred, to make no effort to conceal their
mirth at my expense. However, their
rudeness was sanitary in it's effect, put
ting me on my mettle before the work
began. -
