General Adam Badeau, who was factotum to Qoneral Grant, and who know only too woll how to tako advantage of tho social and other opportunities that camo to him by reason of his rela tions with Grant, has an urticlo in u recent number of tho Coamowlitan on "Some English Forms of Invitations" that enables tho writer onco more to impress his importance upon tho public. Badeau accompanied General Grant ubroad in 1877, and ho illustrates his article, which Ib readable enough, with fao-slmllcs of Invitations that woro ro ceivod by him at that time, when at tho elbow of tho great American ho jostled dukes and carls and Bat down to dino with milords and ladies. At tho outset ho re-produces u form of "command" from tho queen, as fol lows: THE LORD STEWARD Mai rocelreU itor Majesty's commands To Invito Gcnersl llsdoau TO D1NMBS AT WINDSOR CASTLE ON Turtdajr, as Juno, and romntn until the folluwing day. Windsor Caatlo, 25 June, 1S77. "No subject," Bays General Badeau, " nor oven foreigner, may retain tho in vitation of Her Majesty, which has been declined." So tho following is placed on the reverse of tho invitation: bl'CKINQHAM PALACK. 1877. 8hould tlio Ladles or Qontlomon to whom limitations aro sont bo out . ot town and aro not oxpoctod to ro- turn In time to obey the Queon'a commaud on tlio day the Invitations aro fur, tli cards nro to be brought back, General Badeau ovidoutly accepted tho queen's bid, as ho retained tho card. Hero is tho queen's invitation to a ball: THE LORD CIIAMDERLAIN Is commanded by tlio Queen to Invite Qcnoral Iiadeou , to A BALL, On Friday, tlio 22d of Juno, 1877, At 10 o'clock, Buckingham Palace. Full Dress, Court Mourning. The following is self explanatory. 17 Cavbndiih SqUABK. Tho Minister of the United States and Mrs. Flerrepont prrsent their compliments to Qoneral Badeau and have to announce that In obedience to the Queen's commands they will dine at Windsor Castle on the 21st . of June, and their own Invitations for that day are consequently re called. June 12. Saya General Badeau: "The high English, men and women, are more gracious when they sit down to write, their notes than in any other act ot their lives. ,They write so many ot them that the pleasant words Blip off their pens almost unawares. In fact, to judge by their notes, tho Eng lish are a far moro polite people than you Hnd thorn in reality." It would, perhaps, be unjust to infer that the countesses who wrote such charming notes to tho literary general, ' did not, when brought face to face with that consequential personage, glow iion him with a corresxindlng ardor. Tho I'rlnco and Princess of Wales when they invito do not commaud; they only "desire," for example: To (into tho honor of inorling lliolr Imperial Mnlrntlon. tint I'mperor and Kmprem Of llratll, Tho Comptroller of tho Hoimoholil Is ilctlrnl by Tholr Hoynl HlKhiipmrs, Tim l'rlnrn nml I'rliice-M of Wales, To Invito , , . i. .. . . ...Iltlumllor (icncrol llnilcnu. TO D1NNICR, On Tuesday, tho lDth of Juno, At ohdit o'clock. Mnrlborotiith Himko. An answer Is requcMt!. If by any chance one in absolute!) unable to attend one of these royal en tertainments the exact reason must be given in full, and, In any event, you must writo your name in tho royal hook at (ho palace immediately after tho en tertainment; )ou cannot leave a card on a roal personage. Tho i'llncesa Louise has ii book; but her husband is not royal.no you write jour name In her book, and leave a card for Lord Lome. Ho will return your card, but the princess never. "Mm. Gladstone's parties are vcr simple except In the splendor of the company, which, of course, is unsur passed." " 'At Home' cards always hao the name of tho guest written in ink at tin top and aro often sent without envelopes, the address written on tho back. In vitatioiiH to balls and evening paiticH are invaiiably In the name of the mlntiesr of tho house It the host Is married. Mm. Gladstone's cards omit the name of the premier, even when she receive tho Prince of Wales." "Tho English are very apt to notify you of the size or character of a party. writing 'small,' or 'smalt and early,' on the pi luted card; or announcing in the same way If there is to bo some pecul iarity in tho tho entertainment, as 'a ball,' 'Mile. Bernhardt,' 'Corney Grain,' 'Hungarian Band,' and they oflon naj 'weather permitting,' or oven bluntl) 'unless wot.' Only duchcsscH and such nort, however, take the last liberty." MlllturjrCnrnlviil. Tho Lincoln Light Infantry company ban arranged for a military carnival to bo given in tho representative hall at tho capitol, December l.'i to 1(1. The in fantry coin puny organized only a year ago, has ovor $1,100 worth ot equipment. Tho coming curnival Ib for tho purpose of realizing a sum sulTiclcnt to muke needed additions to tho equipment' and tho company is confident that the ontortainmont will bo accorded a generous measuro of patronage. Each night thoro will bo an entirely differout program presented, and many now and unl)Uo features will be introduced, among which will bo a representation of tho Midway Plaisvnco. A moro definite announcement will bo mndo next week, KuglUli Ojiern In Lincoln. Miss C. C. Tennant Clary htutbeon in Sioux City this weok in tho interest of tho Wcstorn Opera association. 3ho is expected to arrive in Lincoln Monday or Tuesday. There, is every prospect that Lincoln's grand opera season will be by far tho most Important musical ovent thut haB occoured in Lincoln for yearn. Tho company ot 40 people, embracing tho best English opera artists in tli country, will bo imeasureably superioi to tho company that appeared in Omaha last spring ut tho Initial operatic fcatival given by Miss Clary in tho west, and tho indications are that the local cho run will bo especially strong. Thoro in much interest in tho enterprise and thoro seems to bo no question but that it will meet with tho encouragement it deserves. Tim VanderblllH Are Not Itetrenrlilng. Tho latest Vanderbilt oxploit calls forth tho following from a Now York exchange: "Tho world reads In tho newspapers that Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt sots sail this week for a ten months' cruise on tho lirgest and handsomest steam yacht afloat. Ho takes with him a party ot guests, nnd it is easy for anyono ot imagination to conjure up tho perfect indolonco and ease in which tho luxuri ous party will glido through tho blue waters ot tho Mediterranean, cooling their casual thirsts with iced winca. appeasing tholr recurrent hungers with ornamentul viands and listening to music from tho romantic guitar. Tho sybarites ot ancient days know no greater rapture than tho Messrs. Vandor bilt, Belmont, Rutherford, Webb, Beach and Keys will experience during their voyage. It would bo extremely sour and anarchistic to envy them thoir happiness or to hint for a moment that they do not deserve it. They are all noble gentlemen that have labored throughout their lives for the good of mankind; they have stood before tho world as examples ot industry, philan thropy and unselfishness, and now, after untold deprivations and herculean labors they are sailing away to quiet seas, to a woll earned rest, and thecongratulations and good wishes of all mankind go with them. It was thoughtful and generous ot tho daily nowspapers to describe to their readers the beautiful plans ot this yachting party, It is comforting read ing for the paupers in tho downtown wards. The mechanic who gets a half hour at noontime iu which to cat some stale bread and cheese will bo encour aged to renew his toll when he reads of how Mr. Beach or Mr. Belmont will take their siestas each afternoon amid pale silk cushions In a whito and gold cabin after eating themselves into a condition ot drowsiness. It is, In fact, most gratifying to all society to know that a littlo company of worthy men, men of great intellect, great character and grcut charity, are to oxporlonco such Hrfect bliss. Tho canaille will labor moro blithely for learning of it, and even the anarchist tvill chortle iu bin joy at hear ing of that ten months trip through seas of champagne. Wo are told that timet are hard. They are, methinkn, ratliei soft for the Messrs. Vanderbilt, Bel mont, Rutherford. Webb, Beach ami Koyes." Tim I.hIi-kI Nor I ill OritiiiiUntloii.
