BUSINESS PEERS.
Abatement of Prejudice Against
Trade In the Aristocracy
OF England.

The horror which the British aristoc-
rary once entertained for trade has
been, as everybody knows, very much
sbated in recent years. Not only have
the nobility learned to tolerate trade
and tradcsmcn, but moro than a few Of
them have entered the field of business
themselves; while Others, Of more re
cent title, owe their honors to business
achievements. So many English titles
have historic, literary or picturesque
associations, in American MS we'll as
british ears, that the best of repub-
leans may find interest in an cnulncra-
ton Of few of the more notable of
these titled tradcsmen.
Among those whose titles were be-
slowed as reward for business achieve
1hents are the representatives Of the
TWO great banking houses of Barring
and Eothschild-Iord Rothschild and
Lord Revelstoke. Lord Wolvcrton and
Lord Farquhar are also in the banking
business.
The breweries Of England have pro
uuccd several peers; or, as the tories
were wont to say, several have risen
from becrage to peerage," including
Lord Burton, Of the great house of
lass, and Lords 4trdilaun and Ivcach
oE that Of Guinness. The marquis Of
Butte is the proprietor Of the only Eng
lish vineyard and, after many failures.
is beginning to reap profit from his
wines.
Lord fanfurly was at one time fruit
gardener. Niscount Sudlcy conducts 4
1lourishing jam business, and makes a
speciality OF wholc-fruit preserves. Lord
harrington has opened Il London flower
ana 1ruit shop, and makes apples and
hothouse fruits his speciality. Lord De
la " arr after having been a managing
pearl-fishcr, has become a successful
hotel proprietor. Lord Londonderry is
engaged in the retail coal business.
Lord Ashton is a carpet manufacturer,
-ord Nasham plush maker and Lord
Glencsk a newspaper proprietor.
Bcsloes all these, there are two at
least Of the pccresscs Of England who
may be included III a category Of bust
ness people. Niscountcss Ha1nblcIcn
was created by the queen a peerless in
her own right on the death Of her hus-
band, the famous news-agent and par
l!amentary leader. w. H. Smith, in whose
business and politics both she had,
borne her full share; and she will
transmit her title to her son, who will
thus become another very important
peer Of business.
10 conclude the list, one Of the most
famous beauties and leaders Of Lon
don society has opened a little shop in
the metropolis for the sale of the needle
work produced in school for needle
women which she has established. and
which is rapidly becoming a self-sup-
porting institution. With prospect Of
ultimate profits under her able manage
ment.
Like most Of the mobiles engaged in
business, whose titles figure frankly on
,lam-pots or coal signs, as the case may
DC. this tine lady is proud Of her occll-
patton: and any traveller passing along
Bond street. if he chances to glance up
over the door Of No. IS, Will find him
self confronted by a neat and rather
large sign, conspicuously Informing
him that it is kept BY the countess Of
Warwick.-Youth's Companion.
