It was only by a rigid system of ontor-
( ulnmonts that the Vandorbilts ovontu-
nlly reached the inner sot ofNow York
society , says , a Now York letter to the
San Francisco Argonaut. Even when
social prejudices began to molt before
the refulgence oft the Vanderbilt mil
lions there wore some haughty spirits
sons , but more especially daughters
northern chivalry who intimated that
the hand of Douglass was his own , and
never would in friendly grasp the hand
of such os Vanderbilt clasp. Foremost
among , these were the Astora. An Astor
would not bow to a Vnndorbilt on pain
of death. The Montagues and the Cnp-
ulots , the Guolphs nnd the Ghibollines
wcro friendly , not to say affectionate ,
in comparison with the Asters and the
Vnnderbilts. The Astor blood is , ns
everyone knows , of the purest cerulean
tint it would bo a palumny to nlludo to
that sacred fluid as plain blue. The
original John Jacob had gene to school
with Schopenhauer , which is enough to
have cast an aristocratic gloom ever the
family of Bacchus.
This was the situation when the Van
dorbilts gave their famous fancy ball
five years ago. None of the Aslors wore
asked. They had not called. The Van
dorbilts had resurrected their dignity
generally regarded in society as both
lost anu gene before from oblivion ,
dusted it oil , and unfurled it to the
broo/o. No call , no invitation , said
they. Miss Astor longed to go to the
ball. Shu waited for an invitation
hoped , pined , drooped , despaired.
Finally , in desperation , she bowed hur
crested head nnd tamed her heart of
llru and called. The next day she re
ceived the coveted card , and since then
the families of Vanderbilt and Astor
have grown together like a double
cherry. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A Question of Morals.
Ono of the gravest accusations mndo
against a theatrical life for girls is that
ilia the beginning of u lifo of immoral
ity. nnd that very few women engaged
in it are chnsto , writes -Mrs. Jenno In
tlio English Illustrated Magazine. No
moro monstrous , untrue statement has
ever been made ; and though it has
boon widely said and very generally believed -
liovod , it is a curious fact that no ono
lias brought forward any dollnito stat
istics to provo it. A woman need no
moro bo immoral because eho is a
housemaid. Every profession has its
temptations , and no woman goes
through life without holng oxposou to
th om , and if wo could provo tlmt the
stage produced the largest number of
the unhappy woman who crowd our
greets wo might then begin to look
about fora remedy ; hut human nature
Is the batno all the world ever , und tlioro
ire as many immoral women in every

The proprietor of a fashionable West
End hotel does not receive young ladies
who are unaccompanied by chaperons ,
though they hail from the United
States , says the London' ' Illustrated
News. The other day a sauoy young
damsel from Boston wont bowling along
Piccadilly in high spirits and iv spick
and span now hansom. The "fetching"
combination pulled up at the hotol.
She bounced in nnd asked if she could
have a room for the night. Before the
clerk could twist a smile with which to
decorate his regrets tlmt every upart-
inotit in the house was engaged the
young lady snapped out : "My .mamma
will no. hero to-night from Liverpool.
I'vo telegraphed for hor. "
"Oh , very well ; in that case you can ,
perhaps , bo accommodated , " gently
suggested the clork. The now arrival
wont on , in a voice tremulous with oino-
tion , "Perhaps you'd ' like mo to eond
for my father , too , and my sisters , and
my cousins , my aunts , and a grand
father or two. " "Mamma , will answer
the purpose nicely , " the clerk replied
with serenity. "Oh , I'm glad to know
that , " replied the Boston lassie with a
toss of the head. "Because it will
appease your suspicions as to who I am.
I can show you my visiting card , a oorti-
llcato of my birth , the pedigree
of my family for three generations buck ,
and the vaccination murk on my right
arm. " The clerk bowed humbly , and
the young lady trotted oil to her

An incident occurred on an afternoon
train on the Consolidated road the other
day that ought to have found its way
into print before this , says the Hartford
Courant. Among the passengers wore
throe sweet and quiet sisters of charity
in their characteristic dress. Adrunken
man , very drunk and annoying , drank
from a big bottle that ho carried , and
finally stuck his disagreeable face re
peatedly into the long bonnet of the sis
ter in a most insulting way. She was
evidently much frightened. Tlio con
ductor had already been told of the
man's conduct , but did nothing. The
other passengers.in true passenger fash
ion , sat and looked on , No man stirred.
Finally a woman , white as a shoot , and
full of suppressed indignation , trot up
from her seat and wont to the rescue ,
aho grabbed the fellow's bottlewrested ,
it from his hands and Hung it out of the
window , and she took hold of him , nnd ,
after a lively and unassisted strucirlo ,
got him outot the seat. "I'm no Roman
Catholic , " bho said excitedly to the
spectators , "but I can't sit fitill and see
a sister of charity insulted. "

the burying ground attached to a cer

laid on an unoccupied grave. It is the
property of an eccentric lady , who
wishes all the arrangements for her
funeral to bo conducted in strict accor
dance with her own views. To this end
she has already settled many prelimi
naries , including notonly the purchase
of the grave she is to rest in , but also
of the stone which is to cover hop , and
here it lies already in position and
only waiting the linal inscription. At
present only the initials of the proud
owner are graven on the foot. The

Gny Girls nt the Cam vni at Venice
In carnival times the Venetian girl
gives full vent to her playfulness ,
writes Ilurbort Piorson in Prank Los-
lio's popular monthly. It shows itself
in many ways not always quite under

ing to nor. Ono instance that is fresh
in my memory , as it ic but a few days
old , will Bulllco : I was playing chess in
a cafe tlmt evening , as worn others at
the tables around. Everything was
r'ot , when suddenly arose the most
foiling noise imaginable , and a
screeching crowd of masked girls rushed
into the room ; they yelled , hooted and
creaked ; they moaned , whooped and
Bang ; they chucked old gentlemen of
serious aspect under the chin and culled
' Cnro rnlol" They upset the pieces on
the chess boards and dropped cigar
stumps into the colToo. Tno chess
players Bat by and smiled helplessly.

A romantic story , says the London
Telegraph , comes from Kulocsa , the see
of Cardinal L. Do Havnald , primate of
Hungary. A short time ago a young
student applied for admission as pupil
at the priest's seminaryundboing ( duly
provided with examination cortilicatos ,
was at once received. I'ho new pupil
led exactly the same life as the other
inmates of the establishment , and
showed a marked disposition for study. A
few days ago Cardinal ITaynald visited
.the seminary , and In the garden mot
the newcomer who bowed respectfully ;
but contrary to custom did not kiss the
cardinal's hand. His . .omliionco not
only noticed the omission , but it led
him to examine the candidate priojt
somewhat closer. Tho'oHlorainato face
of the young stndont tuijnod scarlet un
der the cardinal's scrutinizing gaze ,
whereupon the prelate uttered u few
words in a lovr tone that caused the
former to return quickly to the houso.
Five minutes afterward this mysterious
personage had loft the ? promises , and
has not since gone back. Rumor saya
the individual was lady , who felt an ir-
roslstablo vocation to become n priest.

AN OLD-TIME QUILTING
Chtcatia Iemli1.
VTcs , wo hold a grand reception nnd ImO
everything in style ,
With ( lowers overyvvhcjo and fruit ns high
as uu could pile.
The aristocracy was there , all gorgeously ar
rayed ,
And everybody acted just ns If 'twas dress
parndo.
Luciutla she's my wife appeared in dresses
rich nnd rare ,
With furbelows and flounces ana with flow
ers in her hair :
But somehow as I looked at lior I couldn't
help but HCO
The scene when first I met her at thu old-
time quilting boo.
How mcin'ry will keep ruunlnirback toother
days and scones ;
I sometimes quito forget that part of life
which intervenes
Between the years when all I owned was
youthful hope nnd health.
And later tunes which lirought mo more of
worrimcnt and wealth.
And so at the reception in the midst of
beauty's glee ,
Her faca , though old nnd wrinkled , was tha
sweetest picture there
The one whoso smile of friendship 1ms forever -
ever welcomed me
Since llrst 1 met her glances at an old-tlmo
quilling ; boo.
In those days whloh wo old folks call the
"Inippy long HKO , "
The girls would In the morning meet and
gaily chut mid saw :
They'd keep it up till evening , when the
neighbor boys would come ,
And hold u party or a dance before they loft
for homo.
And when the quilt was finished then they'd
take tlio old house cut
And plucu it in the midillo while they loudly
helloed "Scatl"
Tlio two the cat would jump between , 'twas
salu that she and lie
Would bo the llrsl to marry who were at tlio
quilting bco.
And so Unit night I speak of when the quilt
ing all was done
The girls wcro cagor then to see \vlii'h way
tlio cut would run.
I won't tori'ct Lucinda as she stood tlioro by
my side ,
Nor how wo blushed a crimson as they called
us groom and bride.
I said It wus an accident and BO 1'vo always
Bald ,
13ut anyhow before the year had pusscd wo
two wcro xvod.
And to this very day tlioro nro no scenes BO
fair to mo
As mom'rlcs of that evening at an old-ilmo
quilting boo.
