A SOCIAL SHOCK. Why Mrs. Mostyn Fled from a London Dress-Maker. Dinner was announced immediately after Mrs. Washington-Mostyn entered the drawing-room, and, indeed, it appeared that the party were only waiting her arrival to put an end to the classic . bad quarter of an hour. ! “‘My dear,” whispered Lady Kendal, “I am going to send you down with a most charming young man, Algie Upham, a cousin of the Duchess of Liverpool; I think he’s quite one of ‘the . micest men in London, and so artistic, don’t you know.” * , Mrs. Mcstyn raised her tortoise-shell lorgnette in the direction of the gentleman indicated, and was pleased to make an inspection and give an opinion in Pmt more than two seconds: ' “Charmed, lam sure, What a good- ' looking young man. Ah, I see—race and intelligence.” b i © ““Yes, botn. But allow e to introduce you,” said Lady Kendal. In another minute or so the women were trailing their silken and velvet skirts ~ down-stairs to the dining-room. Mrs. Washington Mostyn belonged to the “four hundred” of New York, if not by birth, at anyrate by wealth. Her husband, who was content to pursue operations in Wall street most of the year round, was wont to leave the cultivation of society to his handsome wife. Their brown stone mansion on Fifth avenue was as gorgeous as many of ~ their richer neighbors, and no one understood better the art of ‘‘booming” an entertainment and getting herself .talked about than Mrs. Washington Mostyn, of New York. And then, her ‘‘cottage” at Newport, was it not celebrated in every paper throughout the length and breadth of the continent? It was there that she entertained lavishly migratory members of the English aristocracy in quest of amusement, wives or sport,® thereby. forming = connections which she meant to push vigorously now that she had actually arvived in London. Had not Lord Birkenhead, the Duchess of Liverpool’s eldest son, been one of these feted and flattered youngsters? And was not the dear Duchess proportionately grateful, and inclined tofopen the ducal arms in a manner that she was not wont to do with certain dear friends and rivals from New York and Washington? And as to the society of which this fastideous lady was so distinguished an ornament, was it not the most select and *high-toned” —as the transatlantic scribe would put it—to be found on the same continent? |

But Mrs. Washington Mostyn had still one unsatisfied ambition, and that was to become as much a Londoner as her fair friends and neighbors had contrived to make themselves. To London, of course, like every other self-respect-ing American, she had been, but i}; was with the London of hotels, parks and theaters only that she was familiar. Into its society she had never pernetrated. And so it came to pass that Mrs. Mostyn, leaving her husband to perform his avocation of ‘‘bear” in Wall street, caused several enormous trunks to be packed, and, arming herself with introductions to some of the best people in London, betook herself, her maid and her courier by the next steamer to Liverpool landing on these shores by the beginning of May. Lady Kendal, who loved above all things a new face, had been one of the first hostesses to make much of her.

-It was rather an amusing table, though it somewhat shocked Mrs. Mostyn’s fastidious sense of the social proprieties. Looking round, she was struck with the familiar look of the faces, and as amatter of fact she could have seen most of the persons present by taking a walk down Bond street and glancing in the photographers’ windows asshe went along. ' 5

- Lady Kendal’s parties were celebrated in their way, for she was what an irreverent' modern journalist had not inaptly called a ‘‘mixer.” She would send down a famous poet with an Ambassadress, a Cabinet Minister with a pretty actress, or consign a great lady to a fashionable singer. It was a social salad, and people were pleased, once in a way, to meet celebrities of whom they had heard a great deal. Now Mrs. Mostyn, like others of the ‘‘four hundred,” knew little, and approved less, of “‘mixing.” She would as soon have asked Li Sing, her Chinese laundryman, tc dinner as some of the actors, journalists and painters whom Lady Kendal liked to see occasionally at her table. To-night, for instance, acrose the banks of mauve and white orchids, Mrs. Mostyn could catch the profile of her Grace of Liverpool, smiling on a handsome Polish tenor who had, turned the women’s heads in half the operahouses in Europe; while ‘opposite her sat the celebrated biologist, Prof. Lyndall, who was apparently delighted with his neighbor, a little. Virginian beauty who had written some rather erotic novels. TG i !

© “Why couldn’t Lady Kendal have told me what his line is?” thought Mrs. Mostyn, glancing at her partner as she settled herself in her place. “I hate . talking to a man I know nothing about! Sport—art—the Gaiety? What shall it be? I know-—polo! All Englishmen play polo, or if they don’t they like you to think they do.” But it was not, after all, of polo that Mr. Algernon Upham conversed. He had a hundred amusing stories to tell—stories of the theatrical world in London, of great people in Vienna, of the ateliers in Paris. . “You paint, then?” asked Mrs. Mostyn, when the talk turned on the last ' subject,. . *“I used to,” said Upham, modestly. *I have almost given it up now; in fact, I think it gave me up. 1 spent five delightful years working in the Paris studios, and at the end of that time I came to the conclusion that I knew almost nothing about it.” ’ _ *“Ah, that is your modesty. lam sure you do know all about it,” replied the lady, sweetly; and then there was a little pause, during which the young man smiled and hesitated, as if he were about to say more. Mrs. Mostyn, feeling that she had unwittingly touched on personal matters, adroitly turned the talk into another channel. The American was charmed with her neighbor, He was not only young, handsome and amusing, but he seemed (no slight virtue in the eyes of Mrs. Mostyn) to be connected with various smart and im,posing English families. With the en.terprise of her sex and nation, she de-' termined to annex Algie. “What a - charming young man,” Bhe thought, “to take to the play, to squire one in the _ park, and to hand cups of tea on one's ~ ‘at-home’ day!”. He had such perfedt ~ taste, and such an eye for. color, for AR e RS S s SRR SR T e e

when the talk, as it sometimes will, turned on .chiffons, Mrs. Mostyn was astonished to hear her neighbor give ah almost subtly feminine opinion on some point in dispute. s ‘‘Why, I believe you know more about it than I do,” declared the lady, laughing. : : ‘“Well, I ought to, I suppose.”

Mrs. Mostyn was so mystified that, for a perceptible instant, she found absolutely nothing to say. He evidently imagined thatshe knew all about him. With the tact' 'of her sex, Mrs. Mostyn promptly turned the talk into generalities again, determining to ask her hostess all about her fascinating neighbor as soon as the ladies reached the draw-ing-room. : i

But the F\?tes were against her. Lady Kendal! was monopolized by an elderly matron, who never let go her hostess till the men appeared from the dining-room, and when they did so it was Algie Upham who slipped into the vacant chair by Mrs. Mostyn’s side. This was a maneuver that is not in the nature of £ woman to withstand.

“Come and dine with me on Friday night,” she said, when she at last rose to go; ‘lOO Lowndes square, eight o’clock. Don’t say you can’t; one or two nice people are coming.”

‘I shall be more than charmed,” replied the young man, bending, in his pretty half-foreign way, over the lady’s hand; ‘but you’ll come to my place one day, won't you? Lady Kendal is coming to-morrow.” “Why, yes; I think I could go to-mar-row,” said Mrs. Mostyn, and so the thing was settled.

On the following day Mrs. Washington Mostyn, who had put on her most gorgeous attire—not having been long enough in London to know that here women do not bedeck themselves in the afternoon—tripped down to her little coupe and directed the man to drive to Lady Kendal’s, thoroughly pleased with herself and the world in general. She was going to see the charming young man of the night before, and the charming young man was :going to dine with her on Friday. Moreover, she had on her most becoming bonnet. The two ladies chatted cosily as the carriage bowled along. “I’'m so glad you could come,” said Lady Kendal; “I’'m sure you’ll think his taste perfect. He has such lovely things.” . ‘‘Lovely things?” inquired Mrs. Mostyn, with rising enthusiasm. She was one of those women who like their heroes of/t/hfi\moment to be set, as it were, in a framework of luxury. v *“Yes; brocades such as you can’t get for love or money. He has them specially manufactured from his own designs.”’ ‘“‘He must be very rich,” said the American. ‘“That’s the sort of thing our millionaires do at home.” & “Well, Algie must make three or four thousand a year, I should think,” rejoined TLady -Kendal, thoughtfully. *You see, he's so well connected. All the smartest women in London go to Algie.” - | . If Mrs. Mostyn wondered for an instant how the society of smart women justified such reckless extravagance, she said nothing, having a horror of appearing ignorvant of London or the ways of London. i

‘““You got on capitally,” continued Lady Kendsal; ‘‘Algie is so fond of Americans. You see, they don’t mind what they spend.”

“No?” sald Mrs. Mostyn, whae was now thoroughly mystified; and just then the carriage drew up at a smartlooking house in a Mayfair street—a house all painted white, with yellow silk curtains and blinds, and daisies and spiraea in the window-boxes.

The door was opened by a manservant in livery, and the ladies were shown upstairs into a Jarge room like a studio. The walls were of golden leather, with draperies and curtains of dull gold silk, and here and there a touch of turquoise-blue or faint pink inwrought with gold added another note to the harmonious picture, in which the white wood mantel-piece, the soft Persian carpet and the exquisite old mezzotints on the walls each played their part. -One or two Chippendale cabinets displayed specimens of rare Nankin, the easy-chairs and lounges invited you to chat, and on every table and in every nook stoad flowers andspalms. His master was engaged for the moment, the man announced, but would be with the ladies in a few minutes.

‘‘What a perfectly charming studio!” cried Mrs. Mostyn, peering round in her pretty, short-sighted way: ‘only I don’t see any canvases or the usual artistic mess.”

“Canvases—why should there be, my dear?”

“Well, but isn’t Mr. Uphani an artist?”

“Artist!” cried Lady Kendal; ““whatan idea! Why, don’t you know?—l thought everybody knew—Mr. Upham is the fashionable dress-maker. - His professional name is ‘Eugene,’ but we all call him Algie. Why, I'm going to try on my new Court bodice directly, and the dear boy will tell me exactly what’s the mattar with it.”

For a moment Mrs: Mostyn’s Lead almost reeled. She hardly knew if she gave a scream, or if she moved instinctively to the bell. 'Where was the door? Whare was her carriage? ' Whether her mnrmured excuses conveyed any notion to Lady Kendal it is difficult to say, for in another moment she had slipped down-stairs. v A dressmaker! Her charming young man—a man with whom she had already had almost a flirtation—was a dressmaker. 1t was preposterous—it was impossible. Why, there were a dozen odfus journalists who were capable of telling the whole story in the American papers; and, as Mrs. Mostyn threw herself into her coupe, she fairly groaned as she remembered that she had herself insisted on the presence of this impostor at her first smart dinner in London.— London World. . Borax for Hoarseness. A writer in the Medical Record cites a .number of cases in which borax has proved a most effectual remedy in cerltain forms of colds. He states that in } sudden hoarseness, or loss of voice in public speakers or singers from cold, relief for an hour or so, as if by magie, j may often be obtained by slowly dise ~solving, partially swallowing, a lump of ‘borax the size of a garden pea, or about three or four grains, held in the mouth for ten minutes before singing orspeak‘ing. This produces a profuse secretion of saliva, or “watering” of the mouth and throat, probably restoring the voice or tone to 't he dried vocal chords; just as “wetting” brings back the missing notes to a flute when it is too dry. - | —"“Diffidence is hard to overcome,” -wrote the school girl in her composition.

RULERsS—Nabonidus, King of the Babylonian Empire, now at Borsippa. Belshazzar, his oldest son, associated with him and reigning at Babylon. Cyrus, King of the Medes and Persians, »

DANIEL—Now about eighty years old. BELSHAZZAR, the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar through his mother. He was associated with his father as King. He was probably sixteen or seventeen years old. His father, having attacking Cyrus, who was besieging Babylon, was defeated, and-was kept from returning to the city by the besieging army. So that Belshazzar was the only King now in Babylon. Herps OVvER HARD PrAces.—l. ‘*‘To & thousand of his lords:” this was not 8o large a number in Oriental banquets as it may seem to us; 15,000 men fed daily at the King’s cost in the Persian courts. Alexander the Great once invited 10,000 to a wedding feast. ‘‘Drank wine:” it was the excitement of strong drink that led the King to ,the sin and to ruin. 2. “Golden vessels out of tho temple:” taken by Nebuchadnezzar, B. C. 604 and 586, 66 and 48 years before. 8. ‘“Drank in them:” the wickedness of this act consisted: (1) In profaning these sacred utensils to base uses. (2) Increasing the insult by doing it at a feast to an idol, thus irmplying that the idol was superior to the living God. (3) By doing it at an immoral and drunken revel, thus insulting the moral law of God. (4) In addition to these, Belshazzar wasguilty of pride, revelry and neglect of warnings from the past (see vs. 18-22). 5. “Fingers:” the fingers that held the pen, with noarm or person to move them, showed that it was supernatural. ‘‘Over against the candlestick:” that stood on the King’s table, 80 as to be seen in the brightest light. THE HANDWRITING was—Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin.. These are Aramaic or Syriac words. Mene: numbered, the last number of its years counted. Tekel: i. e., weighed. Peres: divided, broken to pieces. This i§ the singular, of which Upharsin is the plural. Persian is the same word. Even while this was going on, the army of Cyrus had entered the city, by drawing off the water of- the river Euphrates, which ran through the city. His army marched up the river-bed, and entered by the brazen gates which in their revels the guards had left open. " I. STRONG DRINK is weighed so as to see plainly its true value. There is, on the one hand the wealth, the profit to dealers, the luxury and pleasure of drinkers, the excitement, the large business, occasional help in sickness; and, on the other hand, sin, crime, selfishness, ruin of body, loss of soul, injury to others, disaster to business, poverty, wretchedness, ruin, death. 11. StrRoNG DRINK, with its attractions and dangers, is weighed against: (1) the value of the soul; (2) the . prosperity of the Nation; (3) the good of society; (4) the virtue of the people; (5) the happiness of man; (6) the hope of Heaven. ;

DILLON AND O’BRIEN. The British Government Orders Thelr Arrest on Charges of Conspiracy—Both Give Bail—Warrants Out for Other Irish Leaders. it DuBLIN, Sept. 19.—John Dillon and William O’Brien werc arrested Thursday, the former at Ballybrack and the latter at *the Glengariff Hotel. The charges against them are conspiring and inciting tenants not to pay rent. Warrants have also been issued for the arrest of Messrs. Sheedy and Condon, members of the House of Commons; Mr. Patrick O’Brien and Rev. David Humphreys, of Tipperary. In addition to those already mentioned 1t is ascertained that a warrant has been issued for a Mr. Dalton, who has been active in the work of the Land League. .

Dillon and O’'Brien have been arranging for a tour of the United States and Canada in company with Timothy Harrington and T. P. Gill, and were expecting to sail for America early in October. 2

In the Tipperary court formal evidence of the arrest of O’Brien was given before Magistrate Irwin, and Mr. Ronan, who conducted the prosecution, asked that O’'Brien be remanded until Thursday. Counsel for O'Brien cross-ex-amined Inspector Raffer with the view of showing that, although O’Brien had committed the alleged illegal acts in June, no steps had been taken for his arrest until it was heard that he was going to America. Inspector Raffer denied that the mission to America had any thing whatever todo with the case. Mr. O’Brien remarked that the whole world knew the Government’s motive for making thte arrests. - Mr. O’Brien was admitted *to bail, Canon Cahill being his security. On the application of Mr. Ronan warrants were issued for the arrest of other members of the National League. 7

Dillon was also bailed, giving £l,OOO as security. He was remanded until Thursday. Theé warrant mentions offenses occurring between March and September. A constable served a summons on Mr. Sheehy at his residence, but did not arrest him.

A large crowd of people, accompanied by a drum and fife band, were waiting at the station for Mr. Dillon, who drove in the mayor’s carriage to kis own residence, where he addressed the people from the steps. He said that the more frequent arrests were made the more resolute Irishmen would become in the national cause.

Mr. Dillon, in an interview after his arrest, said that the object of the Government in taking such a step was a mystery to him, unless it was their intention to prevent the mission of himself and his associates to - America. He was sure, however, that the Americans would not ‘deprive the tenants of the Tipperary and other estates of needful support, although it might be impossible for Mr. O’Brien and himself to go to America and make a personal appeal in their behalf. In his opinion the arrests wovld do more harm to the opponents of the tenants than a dozen public meetings. LoxpoxN, Sept. 19.—Up to 7 o’clock Thursday evening no definite information had reached London of the specific utterances of Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien on which the warrants for their arrest were based. Neither had the Government given out any official explanation which would throw light upon their sudden and unexpected resort to a vigorous Irishpolicy = It is commonly supposed that the ostensible grounds for Mr. O’Brien’s arrest are. to be found in a very plain speech that he made last Sunday at an insignificant village in County Cork, named Schull. He dwelt upon the failure of the potato crop, and spoke of the gloomy outlook for widespread distress which Ireland must face this winter. Warming to his theme he said:

“For tens of thousands of small families throughout Ireland it will become a question this winter whether they are to have food or their landlords.”

Confronted with such an alternative, he thought there should be no hesitancy as to 'a choice. He advised the tenants on every estate to meet and consult as to what proportion, if any, they could honestly pay. When that question had been determined they should all abide by the decision. LincoLN, Neb., Sept. 19.—President Fitzgerald,of the Irish National League, received a cablegram Thursday announcing the arvest of John Fitzgerald, Dillon and O’Brien, evidently to prevent their visit to America. Mr. Fitzgerald says such tactics will only serve to exasperate the Irish in America and make their contributions tenfold larger than they otherwise might be.

A SICKENING TRAGEDY.

The Wife of a Minnesota Farmer Killed and Mutilated by a Fiendish Neighbor.

LoNe PRrAIRIE, Minn., Sept. 19.— Wednesday night a man named Fred Paul shot Mrs. Louis Buelow, a neighbor who lived at Bear Head, eight miles from here, while she was at work in a potato patch. The fiend then cut off his victim’s ears. The little daughter of the murdered woman was the only witness of the affair and told her father on his return. After killing the woman Paul went home and shot himself, being found by his brother some hours later. Coroner Cotes went to the scene of the tragedy a few hours after the discovery and found that the hogs had eaten the face off the dead woman. No cause is assigned for the tragedy, and it is thought that the man was insane. o .. N G
