I hear from a private source that the
pope has been secretly trying to per
suade Spain to give up Cuba. lie is tak
ing the matter so much to heart that
his friends fear for his health, lie said
the other day that he would gladly give
his life to prevent war.
Someone who knows him well was tell
ing me yesterday what a wonderful man
Leo XIII is in private life. His person
ahty is most magnetic. The great pecu
liarity of it is the effect of his eyes,
which seem to search his interloctor
through and through. He has a capac
ity far detail which is marvelous, aa the
staff of the Vatican soon found out when
he ascended the papal throne. Under
Pio Nono any amount of laxity had gone
on; whole families had been comfortably
quartered on his unconscious bounty;
but all that was changed at one fell
swoop when Fecci's reign began. "Mis
ericord ia !" said one of the attendants;
"all will be changed now. This man ia
terrible; he is everywhere and he sees
everything ! "
One proof of originality and determin
ation was given at the very outset. It is
the custom, you know, for a prelate of
rank to bring to the new pope the an
nouncement of his election. The pope
elect is. of course, already a cardinal and
is wearing the red skull cap, emblematic
of that dignity. It has been the practice
from time immemorial for him to at once
remove the red cap and put upon hia
head a white one, such as is worn by the
popes; then he places the red one upon
the head of the messenger, which cere
mony signifies that he makes him a
cardinal. For this reason the honor of
announcing the new pope's accession is
one sought for by ambitious churchmen.
On ihe occasion of Leo's election, how
ever, a great disappointment occurred.
The new pope duly removed his red
cap but he quietly put it in bis pocket!
He would make a cardinal of no man
whom he had not personally studied
and found worthy. Great was the dis
cussion of it in the sacred college when
the daring deed became known; and
Manning, in his dry way, said, with a
grim smile: "That's the right man!"
And so he has proved.
A friend of mine, just back from
Cimiez,says that the queen looks bloom
ingly well. "But oh! " she added, "what
dreadful bats the dear old lady wears
when she drives out! They are of the
mushroom order, and even come down
over the ears. The object ia to keep off
the sun. The queen never wraps up to
avoid cold winds; but heat is the one
thing she can't stand."
The prince of Wales haa come home
tanned to a lovely brown. He seems all
the better for his holiday, but he has o
get back into harness now, and. he ia
rather sad about it. He went several
times to hear the Lenten lectures given
by Father Vaughan, brother of Cardinal
Vaughan. I hope they did him good!
But the news will make the ultra-Protestant
party both alarmed and angry.
Patti is another parson who has come
back from the south rejuvenated. She
is staying very quietly at Craig-y-nos
now, but she is very welL A lot of talk
is being made about the possibility of
her singing again this season in opera,
this was never seriously considered for a
moment. She does not care for the ex
ertion; nor would it be worth her while.
The last time she gave a few representa
tions at Covent garden, and sang "Vio
letta"at 1500 pounds a night, she lost
money by the affair; for she provided all
new dresses; and she had a number of
her best ornaments pulled to pieces and
the diamonds reeet in the marvelous
stomacher which adorned her bodice in
the ball scene of "Traviata," which
alone cost $1,000 to the jewelers! This
renins foolish; but it is true. She lets
herself be "fleeced" in many ways be
cause she cannot be troubled to look
after expentes; and this is why the ia
not nearly so rich a woman aa most peo
ple imagine.
The Hist number of Harry Furniaa
new monthly. Fair Game, is very amus
ing; but it seems doubtful if he will be
able to keep it up to the right level. Hia
caricature of the members of parliament
aa penguina ia funny. He aa) s he means
to devote much attention to American
affairs. I should like to speak more
freely about what I hear said in know
ing circles aa to hia chances of success
with his venture; but I'm not quite sure
how much danger I should incur. Rob
ert Barr's successful libel auit haa made
English correspondents to American
papers nervous !
We bave some curious customs over
here. Did any of you ever visit the lit
tle town of Hungerford? It haa just
celebrated "Hocktide,"or "Kissing Day."
On one day in the year two leading gen
tlemen are elected this year the man
agers of the two principal banks were
chosen and they proceed to go to each
house in the town, which they enter, and
kiss all the ladies under tne "Hock pole"
which is carried by an attendant. I
cannot tell how this custom originated,
but it very ancient. I am glad I do not
live in Hungerford !
Our town men are taking to arranging
their mustaches in the oddest way!
They fluff out the ends like little
brushes. The effect ia not universally
becoming; it is apt to make dark men
look ferocious. But it is better than the
craze for waxed ends which prevailed
not long ago.
That very nice fellow and general
favorite, Arthur Poosonby, had a charm
ing wedding with Miss Parry, daughter
of Mr. and Lady Maud Parry. The bride
ia Lady de Grey's niece, and is rery like
her, having the same stately Btyle, dark
hair and wonderful violet eyes. She
looked a dream in her wedding gown,
under the becoming chiffon veil which
our prettiest brides are beginning to
prefer even to Brussels !?ce. Certainly
nothing shows up tine eyes so well; and
Mrs. Ponsonby's eyes are worthy atten
tion. Even I, you perceive, have got
them on the brain. Lady Helen Vincent
was the beauty among the guests.
It is rumored that Lord Beaconsfleld's
ong-deferred biography, for which he
left material, will be undertaken by
"John Oliver Hobbea." (You remember
that she brings him into her latest
book, "The School for Saints.") But
the wish may be only the father to the
thought. She may not undertake the
work. Of course. Lord Beaconefield de
sired Lord Rowton to do it, and left hia
papers to that gentleman for the pur
pose; but Lord Rowton cannot make up
his mind to undertake the task.
The bust of poor Lord Randolph, in
the house of commons, ia not a very good
likeness, although it will look better
when it k placed lower down. But I
suppose a bust could never convey the
effect of a face that was eo mobile, so
perpetually changing. Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach made a touching Bpeech
when he unveiled the bust.
A correspondent from Nice writes aa
follows: New Yorkers in Nice have been
greeting an old friend under, not a new
face, but a new name. When I'adame
de Barrios, the widow of the famous
South American dictator, left New York
it was as the bride of Senor de Roda, a
Spanish nobleman attached to the court
at Madrid. The six or seven years which
have elapsed since then have not only
seen the debut of two or three of the
half-dozen of daughters, but brough
their laughably youthful mother the
title of Marquise Vistabella. Those who
remember the chapel which the lovely
widow had built in her Fifth avenue
home for the special prefer vat ion of the
heart other departed spouse wonder if
this romantic species of hero worship has
