A word about American aristocracy. "What, American aristocracy? Yes, certainly.

I assure you that (hero exist in America social sanctuaries into which it is more dillieull to penetrate than into the most exclusive mansions of the Faubourg Saint Germain or of Mayfair and Helravi i.

There are in Philadelphia, Boston, New urk, irginia. New Orleans, Americans who look upon common mortals with much more pity ami contempt than the Montmorencys of France or the Howards of England.

The -Americans, not having any king to give them titles of nobility, have created an aristocracy for themselves. This ariMocracv boasts

JUS

yet no dukes, mar­

quises, earls or barons, but the bluo blood is there, it appears—Dutch blood as rule—and that is sufficient. 'W lion European nobleman arrives in the States the American aristocracy leave cards upon him at the hotel where ho has alighted, lie may perhaps be jvrsonally known to none but all nobilities are kindred everywhere. The European nobleman, who often goes to America for a dowered tvife, is much obliged to them and returns all the visits paid him.

ANew York lady told me one day that Society in New York was composed of only four hundred persons.

Money or celebrity may allow you to enter this charmed circle, but you will never belong to it. You will be in it, but not of it.

The desiro to establish an aristocracy of some sort was bound to haunt the breast of tho Americans it was the only thing that their dollars seemed unable to procure them.

The second aristocracy is the aristocracy of money, plutocracy. To belong to this, it is not sufficient to ljo a millionaire—you must belong to a third generation of millionaires. Of such are the Astors, the anderbilts, and company. In the eyes of these people, to have from thirty or forty to fifty thousand dollars a year is to le in decent poverty. To have two or three hundred thousand dollars a year is to be in easy circumstances.

The third aristocracy is the aristocracy of talent, literary and artistic society. This third aristocracy is incontestably the liri-t, if you will excuse the llibernianism.

I do not think that one could find anywhere, or even imagine, a society more refined, more affable, more hospitable, more witty, or more brilliant.

Ono of the consequences of the position which woman takes in the United States, is that in good American drawing rooms conversation is never dull.

French women are the only ones I know who can compare with the American lady in charm of conversation, and even then the American women of intellectual society are often more natural than their French rivuls, and make less effort to charm. lu a word, with them you iire amiable without having to be gallant, i.nd none of those stereotyped compliments, which so often spoil the charm of a conversation between a mac and a woman, are expected oI you.

In this society, iho reunions are not only veritable feasts for tho mind, the heart also plays its part. You are welcomed with such cordiality that you feel at once among friends.

The largo towns of America, even New Yoik, are provincial in this sense: every one is interested in what the others do. Thanks to that indefatigable meddler, tho American reporter, the slightest incidents of private life are madt public, and commented 011 right and left immediately. You need only live a couple of months in ono of tho large American cities, in order to know every one, und nil tlieir doings.

The mind of tho Americans is always 011 the alert. They enter into everything, everything interests thorn, and there is always some fresh subject for conversation.^ If it is not a social event, a literary or a political one, it is a little wandal.a new religious sect, a new spiritualistic imposture, faith healing, mind cure: conversation never dies for want of subjects. Exclaim that it is eccentricity if you like, but add that it is life, and you will lie right. he Americans, and that in every station of life, have almost always three names, one Christian name and two family ones: George Washington Smith, Benjamin Franklin Jones, William Toll Brown. The celebrities do not escape it anv more than the rest. Can one notsee in these double names a title which the father thinks he confers on his child at the baptismal font?

All new societies have the same weaknesses. On the morrow of the revolution diil we not call our children Epaminondas, Napoleon, etc.?

Every American with the least self .rcupect is colonel or judge. Few esca it, aa Mark Twain once remarked of tht decorations of tho Legion of Honor. We are quits, Mark. America has a hundred times as many colonels as we have knights of tho Legion of Honor.

When you are presented to a gentleman in an American drawing room, and 'you have unfortunately not caught his name, call him "colonel," nino times out of ten it is safe if luck should be against you, call him "judge." If, however, pursued by tho fates, you should discover tliat your interlocutor is neither colonel nor judge, call him "professor."

An American always professes something, an art, 11 religion, and you are •risking nothing.

1 met a few American colonels wno had recently leen promoted "misters." They were so proud of their now title that they insisted on being addressed thus.

American hospitality is princely. You aro not often invited, even in houses where tho daily menu is of tho most appetizing, to go and sharo tho family dinner a fete is got up for you. If this cannot bo arranged, you may not bo invited at all.

In good American houses the cooking is excellent you will not find !ettcr in London and Paris.

The most recherche of American dishes is terrapin stew when in sea-sou it figures at every feast. Tho flavor is so pronounced that ono is bound to think it either delicious or detestable.

Aui 1 obliged to tell you which I think it? An American once nsked mo whether I liked terrapin. "It is nothing but polite," I replied, "to bow to tho customs of a country one vists. Terrapin is eaten in tho United States—and 1 eat it."

Canvas back duck is a great delicacy. It is hung in front of a fire for a few minutes only. The first time this purple meat is presented to you it horrifies you but I advise you to try and surmount your repugnance, tho dish is exquisite.

Tho English have tho reputation of liking all kinds of meat very much under cooked. They prefer their meat, on the contrary, very much cooked.

One of tho many jokes on the subject of canvas back duck which I heard was this:

Ono of these birds having been served to nn Englishman, he, after a glance at it, called the waiter and said to liitu: "Pass through tho kitchen with it once more, please."

X—BILLIONAIRES.

A list of Fortune*—A Democracy Ruled by Many Klugs* I am afraid it will make my readers' lips water, but hero is a list of some American fortunes, as I have heard them stated. I liavo no doubt some of them aro inaccurately reported:

Rovenuo at

Name. Capital. r, per cent. J.Gould $ST5,000,000 $13,750,000 J. V. Mackey 200.500,000 12,500,OCO C. Vandorbilt...... 125,fOO,COO 0,850,000 O. P. Jones 100,0»,000 5,000,000 J. J. Astor 00,000,000 4,600,000 A. T. Stewart 40,000.000 2,000.000 J. G. Bennett 30.000.000 1,500,000

These are the princes of tho Laud of the Dollar. The largest English fortunes fall short of these figures.

In France, with their fortunes translated into francs, Messrs. J. Gould and J. W. Mackey would be billionaires: and I beg to suggest to the editors of French dictionaries the addition of tho word: "Billionaire—A person possessing at least a thousand millions. This phenomenon is found in America."

Needless to say that, with his millions on millions, Mr. Jay Gould is a power. As for contending with him, as well try to break the bank at Monte Carlo with a ten cent piece.

I cannot guarantee that Mr. Gould is a happy man. Concerning immense fortunes, a witty American friend, rich in moderation, and a great philosopher, said to 1110 one day: "No man can own more than a million dollars. When his bank account outgrows that, ho does not own it, it owns him, and he becomes its slave."

The two kings of American plutocracy are Messrs. Vanderbilt and Astor. The name of king applies to them less on account of tho size of their fortunes than the generous use they make of them. They liavo founded hospitals, museums and libraries, and are known for the generosity with which they respond to apjwals for help in philanthropical causes.

The Vandorbilt mansion in Fifth avenue, New York, is a princely habitation. The luxury 011 all sides is extreme. In the bath room, I am told, tho walls are all mirrors painted thickly with trails of morning glories, so that tho bather seems to bo in a bower of flowers. In plate and pictures, many millions of dollars must liavo been spent. Tho pictures hang in two spacious, wall lighted rooms. They number ono hundred and Beventy-four works, from tho brushes of great modern masters. In tho entrance liall hangs a portrait of Vanderbilt I, founder of the dynasty.

Tho Americans, having no king in our sense if tho word, uiako tho most of those they lis -vs. To read the pedigrees published in full very time a death oc curs in one of ihe.se rich families, is highly entertainiug. A Mrs. Astor died while I was in America, and, after the enumeration of her charms and virtues, came the list of John Jacobs from whom Wr husband had .sprung. The Astors were all John Jacobs apparently, and were mentioned its John Jacob I. John Jacob II and John Jacob III. The line does not go back very far, John Jacob I having gone to America as a poor emigrant early in this century, I believe, and laid the foundation of the present grandeur of his house by trading in furs.

It will not do to inquire too closely into the way in which some of America's millionaires have amassed wealth.

As for the colossal fortunes of railway kings, it is wel( known how thousands of small one's go to make them, how the rich man's palace is too often built with tho 6tones of hundreds of ruined homes.

Thero is no other natno than "king" used in speaking of the few great financiers, who hold the bulk of tho railway stock in America. But they aro not the only ones. Thero are oil kings, copper kings, silver kings, and I know not what other majesties in America, and when you see tho power possessed by these, and the numberless trusts, combinations and pools, you wonder how the Americans, who found one king one too many, should submit so patiently to being governed by scores.

XI—THE AMERICAN GIRL.

Flirtation Perfected— Hating May and Deceralxr—What American Girl* Admire in a Man.

The liberty enjoyed by American girls astonishes tho English as much as the liberty of flie English girl surprises the French

From tho ago of 18, tho American girl is allowed almost every liberty. She takes tho others.

Slio is supplied with pocket money, which she spends at her own sweet will in bonbons, knickknacks and jewelry. Sho visits and receives whom she pleases —I mean those who pleaso her. She has her own circle of acquaintances. If, at a ball, sho meet with young man who takes her fancy, sho says to him: "I am at homo on such a day como and see me." Next day ho may send her a ticket for a theatre and bo her escort for tho ovening. In America, all this seems to bo tho most natural thing in tho world. This leads to 110 intimacy, for a few days later it may happen that I10 meets tho young lady at a ball, and sho comes up to him and says: "I want to present you to a friend do tell me your name, I quito forgot it."

Tho American girl seems to me to act according to the dictates of common sense. Tired of the old formula, "A lady cannot do that, it would be improper," she says: "I will do it, and if 1 choose to do it, it becomes proper." "Why should I not go to the theatre alone?" sho says again "if your streets aro impure, it is for you to cleanse tliein. Why should I not receive my ball partners who pleaso me? If ono of them were to profit by my seeing him alono in the drawing room to take a liberty with me, he would bo an ill bred fellow, and I should have him properly shown out of tho house, and certainly it is not /or such as he that I should cliango my liahits."

It is tho respect that woman inspires in American men, which allows the young girl togo about with such freedom and to queen itall through the States. Jonathan might givo more than one lesson in this subject to tho men of the Old World, even to tho Frenchman. Jonathan's respect for women is disinterested, purely platonic. In France, this respect takes tho form of a politeness which verges 011 gallantry, and is often not disinterested. A Frenchman will always stand back to let a lady pass, but ho will profit by the occasion to take a good look at her. The American, in similar circumstance, will respectfully lower his eyes.

In trains, whero tho seats aro constructed to hold two persons, you will sec the American seek a place from ono end of the train to tho other before I10 will go and seat himself by tho sido of a young girl.

With what pleasure I remember tho young American girls whom I occasionally met at Parisian parties in my youthful days. One never felt awkward with them. Whereas with a French young girl I could generally find nothing but absurd commonplaces to say. in the presence of Jonathan's merry maidens I lost my timidity, and could chat away with as little embarrassment as 1 would with a .young brother officer of my regiment.

The American girl is still without rivals. Men seek her for her gayetv, wit, or beauty mothers look favorably upon her for her dollars the younger women tear her to shreds—nothing is wanting to her success.

It was to her that Paris owed tho introduction of that attractive danco that goes in France by the name of boston. An inspiration this dance!

Some one, I forget whom, has remarked of tho waltz, "It is charming, it is fascinating, but ono cannot chat." "With the boston it is different 0110 can dance that, and chat and flirt too. Now a flirtation with an American girl is immensely agreeable, on account of tho perfection sho brings to tho art. To be gallant is 110 longer sufficient to say things that are pretty, but insipid and commonplace, will not do at all you must surpass yourself in v.-it and amiability, while keeping well within tho bounds of the strictest propriety.

I also used to get a great deal of diversion in looking at tho American girls clearing tho bullet. How they rnado tho ices disappear and tossed off punch, champagne or anything that came to their pretty little hands! With what disdain they passed over tho sirups and eau sucree, that tho French girls timidly sipped, looking all the wliilo to 6ee whether mamma was not staring round eyed to show that she disr.pproved of such dissipation, Tlicyjnust have something serious and satisfying.

Only tho musicians, as they struck up the first bars of the nest dance, had fascination enough to draw theia away from the refreshment rocm. -».nd what spirit thero was in their dancing! What animation! What eyes lit up with pleasure! Not a moment's flagging: they danced with as much suppleness at 5 in the morning as at the beginning of the evening. And why not, indeed? Such pleasures are harmless, and it is not because a woman has danced much in her girlhood that she should lead her husband a dance, when she has one. The morality of a youth is in direct proportion to the delight he takes in play that of a girl may be measured by her gayety and high spirits.

I shall never forget a young American girl, who sat nt the same table as tnyBolf, on board the steamer. The dear child, who was alout 17, performed prodigies. I watched her with never flagging interest. Wrhat a little table d'hote ogress!

First of all, at 7 in the morning, tea and bread and butter was taken to tho hungry one in her cabin. At half-past 8, sho breakfasted. At 11, she had beef tea and biscuits brought to her on deck. Lunch time found her ready for three courses of solid food, besides pastry, fruit, etc. At 6 o'clock, she did valiantly again, and at 10 she was regularly served with a Welsh rarebit, or some other tasty trifle. Notwithstanding this, I rarely met her on deck, or in the corridors, but she was munching sweets, gingerbread or chocolate.

After all, there are so few distractions on board ship. Men smoke, play poker, or indulge in a little betting on the run of the ship. Some people sleep, some try to think, butunsuccessfully othersread some ladies knit. The American girl eats.

Tho American girl likes men's society for several reasons. First, because she is well educated and nblo to talk on almost all tonics. Sho likes men's socicty be-

causo it enlarges her circlo or acquaintances, and also because it increases her chances of making a good match. No matter how much of a butterfly sho may be sho never loses sight of tho future. Sho does not say, as sho sits musing on marriage: "What kind of man shall I suit?" but "What kind of man shall I choose?"

Tho society of men has nil tho less danger for her, that her virtuo rests 011 a firm basis of calculation. Sho will not embark in tho romance until slieseesher way to profit—and profits thereby. Fortune, or a title, that is her aim. Sho keeps it in view, even in tho most touching moments. Between two kisses she will perhaps ask her lover: "Aro you rich?" It is tho pinch of rhubarb between two layers of jam.

The constant aspiration of these young republicans is to bo ono day countess, marchioness or duchess.

Tho number of Eurojwan coats of arms which have been taken out of pawn, or regilt, with American dollars, is enormous.

Not long ago a writer 011 tho staff of Tho Paris Figaro counted among the guests in one of the most select drawing rooms of the Faubourg Saint Germain, thirty-seven American ladies bearing thirty-seven names of the most authentic French nobility.

Everyone knows how many American women tho English aristocracy counts in its bosom.

That passion for rich marriages, which burns in the heart of so many young American women, often leads them to disastrous results.

If one may trust one's eyes, American law allows young girls to marry their grandfathers, or at least, the contemporaries of these worthies.

It is not rare to see girls of 18 and 20 married to men of 70 and over. As a Frenchman, 1 know it scarcely becomes me to throw the first stone at my neighbor for this. France is admittedly a country whero mariages de convenanco are common. Still I must say that tho difference is enormous. In France, it is the parents who aro to blame and not tho girls, whilst in America it is tho young girl herself who chooses her husband: sho alone is responsible for this crime against Cupid's laws. She has not either the French girl's excuse, ignorance of the world she knows bettor what awaits her 011 leaving tho church. A French girl sometimes passes straight from the convent to tho marriage altar, without her consent having been asked, or even her opinion consulted. And again, I must ad.l that if French parents often cause a girl of 20 to marry a man twice her age, they would shudder at the idea of giving her into the arms of an old man.

Tho young American, indulged and petted by her fat! i-r, counts that an old husband will be more likely to put up with her caprices, and gratify all her whims, than a young man would whose fortune was not made. "A young husband," she says to herself, "is all very fine but thero is my father who does just as I please I am pretty and liavo hosts of men who tell 1110 so every day I am free to go whero I like and receive whom I like I spend as much as I like shall I exchange all this for a husband who will hamper mo with a household and perhaps a largo family who will talk of stocks and perhaps preach economy who will bora me with tho prices of grain or cotton seed oil, and give mo tho headache with listening to his politics and heaven knows what? No, no, I will take a husband who will think of nothing but satisfying my caprices." And perhaps sho adds in her wisdom: "A man of 70 or 80 I shall not have to put up with very long."

This kind of marriago is tho well worn theme of many American comedies. An American told mo that he once went a long journey in tho samo railway car with an infirm, hoary old man of 80, who was accompanied by a girl of scarco more than 20. My friend admitted to mo that tho sight of her lovely face had tho effect of making him fall quite in love with her before their five days' journey was over. lie did not liavo an opportunity of conversing with her but on arriving at their destination, he resolved to put up at the same hotel as the old man, so as to perhaps have a chance of making inore umple acquaintance with his fair charge. To find out tho namo of the young girl and her venerable grandfather, he waited to sign his name in tho hotel register, until the patriarch had Inscribed his own. Imagine liisfeehngs when he read: •"Mr. X. and Wife."

Here is a joke that I culled from a Washington paper. Is it a joke? "A bachelor lately advertised for a wife. A typographical error changed his age from 87 to 87 but it made no difference, for he veceived over 250 applications from ladies ranging ia igc from 16 to 00, and all promising love and devotion to the rest of liis existence."

Here is another, which I extract from a comic p(iper. The author seems to believe the American mother does not look on such marriages with displeasure: "Mother—So you have engaged yourself to Mr. Jones. You must be a goose. He has neither fortune nor position. I know he may ono day bo well off his grandfather may leave him part of his fortune, perhaps. 'But, mamma, it is his grandfather I am engaged to.' "Mother—Kiss me, my child you are aa angel."

Whatever may be said on tho subject, these marriages are but the exception: but the exception is too frequent to be possible to pass it by in silence.

The American girl is past mistress in the art of turning to account her little capital of beauty, youth and virtue. Sho knows how to employ all love's artillery, and if the object of her desiro is recalcitrant she can fire red hot balls.

The late Alfred Assollant told how an American girl once succeeded in making a young English lord marry her. In certain states of the Union it is sufficient to pass tho night with a woman to be declared her husband by law in the morning. This damsel, it appears, invited the young lord to sup in her own room. This is done, or was dono, in certain pajts of

America, and morals perhaps were none tho worse for it. The bait took, and at supper tho scion of lordly house got tipsy and went to sleep in the maiden's room, all ignorant of tho law.

At daybreak there is a knocking at the door. Tableau! Tho fair one, all tearful and disheveled, unlwlts it and ushers in tho minister, who conies followed by the girl's parents and two witnesses who are in the plot. The young lord in vain protests his innocence he is married then and there, and the damsel only consents to his departure after having been bribed by a sum $100,000.

Hero is another story of tho same stamp which I heard told in America. It is not authentic, but such an anecdote could not originate outside America:

An American girl adored a rich, handsome young fellow, who unhappily did not respond to her flame. Ono fine day a luminous idea occurs to her. She pretends to be ill and sends to the young man to say she would like to see him. IIo hurries to the home of tho fair invalid, who receives him lying on a sofa. She avows her love and begs him to give her ono kiss and bid her along adieu. The swain bends over tho sofa. The young lady encircles his neck with her arms, draws his head down and imprints a long, lingering kiss on his lips. During this time a photographer, hidden bohind the hangings of the room, had his camera turned on the young couple. Next day tho cunning lass sent her unconscious dupe a proof of tho touching little scene of the day before, asking him how many copies she should get printed. In face of the betraying collodion and to save his honor, tho youth saw that thero was but one thing to bo dono, and that was to walk to tho altar, which he did without a murmur.

So much for caricature, or, if you prefer it, for tho truth that is not true. It is perfectly certain that an American girl does not fear to letiv man understand that she loves him, and that, if need be, sho lets no false modesty prevent her from telling him so.

Tho real American girl admires male qualities in man. Tho perfumed dandy, dressed in tlio latest fashion, tho "dude" is not her admiration, she prefers a littlo roughness to too much polish. At a large reception, given in New York in tho early part of tho year, I asked a young lady who were ten or a dozen young men who did not miss a single dance. "Oh!" she replied with an air of sovereign contempt, "a few young dudes who have been invited by tlio club just to keep up tho dancing- marionettes, you know."
