LONDON SOCIETY,".
A Declaratsss That IL Is Now Permeated
by vulgarity.

| Dy NuisdftSs
In the course of "a fierce diatribe agains,
London society," the London society week
", Vanity Fair, says: London society
exists no longer. Proof OF this assertion
confronts US at every step. in every one oil
our principal streets, even at our royal
parties. Vulgarity in all its hideous glory
holds the high place, and ancient birth,
honored titles, fall down and do il hom-
age. Where once men and women were
proud of their blood and of their family
they would now lay claim TO no higher
honor than that of being smart. Where
once they rejoiced in wholesome exclusive
ness they now reyel in bOnhomie which
threatens % become disastrous. They arc
bourgeois gentilhOmmes indeed. In Rome,
in Vienna, even in republican Paris, Lon
don society Is becoming laughing stock,
very byword, IL is looked upon as the
receptacle for continental refuse, the rub
bish heap on which many dusty charac-
ter can be shot. No one can deny this, for
half the world knows that men and WON
on of vast wealth and no antecedents
have been ousted from continental society
only to be received here with open arms,
TO be even petted and caressed and made
much Of
blood, pride of race-what are these
nowadays? Money and, above all, the will
ingnCss to entertain, entertain, entertain
these are the pass keys TO what was once a
fortress to be stormed by birth, and birth
alone. Even good character Is net essen
tial Women with pasts and men with
nothing but very shady presents-are they
shunnedg Not if they entertain, not if
their table be ever ready laid, the wine al

that is the password. A bank note will
break open almost any door. Tho rich
parvenu can gaze upon entertainments
which should be to him us hallowed mys-
teries, can put his vulgar feet on carpets
that should fade under his tread. Even
royal gardens have become the play grounds
of Plutus and his satellites. Royal wine
is taken into stomachs meant for plebeian
beer, and pate de foie gras is munched by
mouths created for Dutch cheese and good
red herring.
"True it Is that there are still few-a
very few-to whom the champagne of
Mrs. Van Pork is as rank poison in their
mouths but these are SO small in number
that they scarcely count, and they are
compelled TO suffer for their good taste by
dull seasons, few parties and the jeers of
even their equals. Soon they, too may
be swallowed up in the vortex, for daugh-
tiers have to be married and even sons
have to be considered, and in their own
diminished set there is little left to he

and with their fall the last foundation of
society will crumble away Then the tri-
umph of King Bourgeois will be com

A POWDER MINE.
The Bear Turned Himself Into One and

That he was from Caribou there was
no doubt. Why, nuggets from Omineca

1T was back in the 1fties when my
partner set out to do u little work on some
ground we owned, and he had TO camp for
the first night on the banks of creek. He
set out his pack and deposited at safe
distance several sticks of giant powder,
caps and fuse. Then he went to the creek
for pan of water. While there he heard
great rumpus, and, looking back, saw
big grizzly bear at his explosives. He yelled
and threw stones ut it, but the grizzly was
too much fascinated with the sweet tast-
ing giant powder. But when Bill began
to fire larger rocks Mr.. Bruin got down to
business and made u bee line for him.
