will receive all credit, I fancy, both at homo and abroad, for keeping,
aa they Bay on Prairio avenue, a stiff upper lip. There has been a
good deal of quiet discussion in Chicago's select circles of late, I
understand.as to the derivation of the Prince's name, as well as to the
age and length and height of the family tree. It was, I beliove,
that eminent authority on Chicago heraldry, Mr. Robert Lee Janney,
that, after a solemn conclave with some half dozen fellow-students
in the basement of the Richelieu, leaped to his feet with a bound
and triumphantly ejaculated: 'I have it. Isonburg is probably the
name of the town the family sprung from, and the hyphenated half
of it Birstein why, that denotes the princely fondness for those
glorious big mugs we used to push our faces into up at Old Vienna.
The whole thing's as plain as pudding!' Needless to say, tho discov
ery was hailed with joyous acclamations and duly celebrated in an
other 'round."

Newport society has bad a social sensation, inasmuch as two
wealthy bachelors of title, who have been feted during tho sea
son, gave a ball in acknowlegement of the courtesies shown tera,
and created a new order of things by doing away with any chaper
one on the occasion. The ball was given on Tuesday evening at the
Golf Club, by Count Vichy and Count Hadik. There were two
bands of music, the piazzas were enclosed in bunting and decorated
with plants and supper was served at small tables. Count Hadik
led the cotillion with Mrs. W. Butler Duncan, Jr. The favors,
which were decidedly unique, were distributed from a goat cart cov
ered with American Beauty roees and smilax. The goat was in
clined to keep time in his own peculiar manner with the music, but
was held in check by a pretty girl, who drove him with gay colored
harness. This distribution was made by a boy dressed as a pago of
the Austrian court, while the girl driving the cart wore the costume
of an Austrian peasant. Among the favors were canary birds in
flower-decked cages, musical instruments, gold balls and sticks,
archery sets, balloons, flowers, sashes decorated with the Austrian
flag and bottles of various size labeled with well-known names of
brands of champagne, Burgundy and "Jersey lightning.''
