THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1889. ENGLISH SOCIETY. No Introductions Made to Guests Either at Receptions or Dinners. Hon. Hugh McCulloch, in his recent book of Teminiseences, speaks as follows in regard to the customs of English society: There is little difference, it seems to me, between what is called good society in England and good soci- ety in the United States, It is at the dinner toble that the Englishman throws off his re- verve and exhibits his true character; and I failed to observe anything at the table of the English gentleman, in the manners or style of either the host or tho guests, to remind me that I was out of my own country, except that there were no introduetions. The increased intercourse between the people of the two countries has produced some change in this respect. but I had been more than a year in London before, at the dinner party. I was in- troduced to any ones (stranger though I was), cpt to the host and the lady I tool down to the table, and yet some of the pleasantest acquaintances which I formed m London were at such parties, As I did not like to coniine my conversation to the lady I took in, and still less not to be talking to any one, I invariably put my dinner card before my next neighbor, and took his or hers in re- tmrn, merely remarking that I was an Ameri- can and hoped to be pardoned for the liberty I was taking, “I thank you,” or “thanks,” was always the return which I received for my self- introduction, One evening, at the house of a distinguished merchant, I ned to sit be- tween two ladies—one I had taken down, to the other I had not been introduced. After a pleas- ant talk with the former, I placed my card before the latter, and took hers. She seemed oe but fgets The ice was broken, i we were at once on pleasant terms. She was a handsome woman and a brilliant talker, and Ihad more than I could do to keep even with her. As we were about to separate, she said to me in an undertone, shall never for- get your kindness in relieving me from that ‘horrid man,’” glancing at the one who was sit- ting by her side and had taken her to the table. “THAT HORRID MAN” (now deceased) was one of the most distin- guished novelists of the day, whom I had met some years before in Washington, at the house of the British minister, Sir Frederick Bruce. Primogeniture—the highest place for the eldest son—gives precedence to boys over girls, and tends to lessen women in the social scale. The deference which is shown to women by gentle- men in the United States is not often wit- nessed in England. ‘That horrid man” coul have made himself agreeable to the lady by his side if he had been so disposed; but in in- tereourse with women he oe — chiy ish, and his manner was dii toa high cultivated lady. English gentlemen are not distinguished for their chivalry in their intercourse with the other sex. Intercourse is exceptional at receptions and other large as- semblies, as well as at dinner parties. London is so large a city that a visitor may toa seore of such gatheri without mee’ any one he has ever met before. I went, by special invitation, to a given by a member of parliament, who had been a frequent guest at my house. There was no one whom I could see in the throng that I had ever met before, except the host and hostess, and they did not take the trouble to introduce to any one. The only exception to what seemed to me a want of good manners in this respect were in THE HOUSES OF THE ARISTOCRACY. I took my daughter—a young girl—with me to a party given by a distinguished duke at his interesting old mansion in Piccadilly. The lady who received with him was, I understood, his daughter-in-law, and three or four times during the evening she left her place at the en- trance of the drawing-room to introduce me and my daughter to those whom she thought we would like toknow. I noticed wherever I went that there was more ease and freedom— less of form and exaction—in the noble fami- lies (always excepting the royal head) than in those of lower degree. A knight—one who has taken the first step on the social ladder—is prouder of his rank than one who stands among those who are nearest the throne. To address a knight without the “Sir,” or his wife without ly.” would be an offense not readily for- Not so is it with men of high station, “Mr. McCulloch, will you take my wife,” said a distinguished earl at a dinner which was given by him to me soon after I went to London, in recognition of the position I had held in the United States—Mr. McCulloch, will you take my wife Had he been 4 knight he would e said. ‘Will you take Lady ——?” The high honors which rést upon dukes, earls and lords are easily borne, the honor of knighthood seems to Le burdensome. She English people are spoken of as a nation of shopkeepers; but in no country are shopkeepers so rigidly ex- eluded from the society of wholesale mer- chants, manufacturers, lawyers and other_pro- fessional men, the landed gentry, &c. ere are in London hundreds of men engaged in the retail trade who are not only rich, but highly cultured, and would shine in any company, who are never seen as guests in the houses of the classes I have mentioned. If Mr. A. T. Stewart, distinguished as he was for intelligence nd ability, had lived in London, he would not have been admitted into what is called good society. Neri Fighting with Rats. & FARMHAND'S CONFLICT IN A DARK PIT—DOZENS OF DEAD RODENTS. A special to the Philadelphia Press from Newton, Pa..February 2, says: Silas Berry, of this place, had an exciting fight with rats yesterday, in which he won a costly victory. He works on a farm near by, and yesterday morning entered @ pit in which brewers’ grain is stored for feed- ing purposes. It is about 10 feet deep and is entered by a ladder. When Berry reached the bottom a large rat ran up his trousers’ leg. He shook it out, when its squeals brought dozens of rodents to its help. Berry was in total dark- ness and was attacked from all directions. He at once shouted for help and began fighting as best he could. After bona, Somers his cri were heard and help came. When he was takén out of the pit he was completely covered with blood. When fully convinced that he was safe he fainted dead away from joy. His body is covered with bites and scratches, and it will be long time before he recovers. Forty-eight i rats, some of enormous size, were taken rom the pit, having been killed by Berry in his desperate fight. —eoe—______ Death of Rachel’s Youngest Son. Paris Letter to the Philadelphia Telegraph. The youngest son of the great actress Rachel, M. Gabriel Felix, has just died at Congo in his forty-second year. He took up his residence in that distant and insalubrious region some years ago, being a lieutenant in the navy, and having been stationed at Congo by his own request, He fought with great bravery in the Franco- Prussian war and was terribly disfigured by a wound, which put for sometime his life in dan- rer. part of his face having been carried away > the explosion of ashell. He lay at death's door for a long time, and when he finally re- covered he hastened to hide his marred visage at a distance from all who had ever known him. He was engaged to be married when the war broke out, but the family of his betrothed, and the young assy herseif as well, insisted upon canceling the engagement after he got well of his wound. A from_ his gallant bearing in time of action, Lieut. Felix was not a very estimable young man, being dissipated and extravagant, so it is probable that his per jail- sonal habits had a good deal to do with the ure of his matrimonial projects. Like his older brother. the son of the Count de Walewski, he always cherished fondly the memory of ‘his gifted mother, who was as tender parent as she was great as an actress, —<e———__— ‘Women Who Don’t Know How to Walk. From the Chicago Mail. “Look at that woman—see how she walks. She will have the spine disease before she is much older.” ‘This is what 4 man said to me in a street car. Ilooked at the woman and saw nothing re- markable about her locomotion. I said so. “Don't you see how she throws herself for- ward?

The Latest Explanation of the Death of Crown Prince Rudolph. European gossip continues to busy itself with stories of the manner in which Crown Prince Rudolph met his fate. The latest comes from Brussels. It is asserted that the crown prince became entangled in an affair of honor with a high Austrian family, and that it was decided that the prince and a son of the fam- ily in question should fight a duel on the so- called American plan, according to which method dice are thrown to decide which of the duelists shall commit suicide. The dice were thrown and Rudolph lost. The time specified for the suicide of the loser was three months, and at the expiration of that period the crown prince fulfilled his engagement and took his own life. The fact that during the time men- tioned Rudolph was apparently preparing for lor his coming death seems to give color to the foregoing story. Dense throngs of ple crowded to see the remains of the d prince in the Caponchin chapel in Vienna yesterday, The crush was so great that the line of troops formed to keep open a way to the chapel was broken several times, resulting in great confusion and the in- juring of twenty women. Many others who got caught in the great crush fainted and were with difficulty extricated and carried out from the crowd. It was reported that one person was fatally injured in the crush. The hair is brushed back on the head of the dead prince, #0 as to expose to view the bullet hole in the right temple. Emperor Francis Joseph, in receiving Baron von Fejervary and other Hungarian ministers yesterday, ex d his satisfaction at the tone of the Vienna reference to the poi tude of the press, he said, had been a great solace to him im his grief. The emperox has given orders for the com- pletion of Rudolph’s ‘Austria-Hungary in word and picture.” Herr von Szoegyenye, an official of the im- perial household, has gone to Luxemburg to ¢ charge of papers left by the crown prince. The emperor and the empress go to Pesth on Saturday next. STILL ANOTHER SENSATIONAL STORY. The Brussels correspondent of the London Chronicle alleges that a letter from the Vienna correspondent of that paper asserts that when the door of Crown Prince Rudolph’s room was forced open the boc of a beautiful young Bohemian lady was also found. The corres- — also asserts that the crown prince first ‘illed her with a revolver and then shot him- self, and that the body of the lady was con- — secretly to the seat of her family in Bohemia. Two other versions of the alleged double dy are current, and have already been cabled abroad, but the foregoing account is most. generally believed. The Growth of Jerusalem. WHO ARE ERECTING THE XUMEROUS NEW BUILD- INGS IN THE CITY. The Neuest Nachrichten aus dem Morgenland, German newspaper published in Palestine, states that the city of Jerusalem is growing in size and population at a remarkable rate. Its growth is all the more surprising because neither its situation nor its trade is favorable to a rapid increase; it lies among a not very fertile group of mountains, it has next to no commerce, and it has no manufactures. Never, tleless, new buildings are rising daily;churches, ‘dens and institutes of variors kinds are fill- ing up the formerly desolate neighborhood to the distance of half-an-hour's walk beyond the old limits of the city. The Jews are to the front as builders. “Their houses spring out of the ground like mushrooms—uniform ugly, one-storied, plentifully supplied with windows, but with no manner of adorn- ment. The Rothschilds have completed a new hospital. Close beside it there isa new Abyssinian church. The Russians are also great builders; they have erected a newchurch, consulate, lodging-honses for pilgrims of the orthodox national churches, and a hospital. Near to the Russian group stands the erman houses” for German Roman Catholics, from whose top the German and papal flags float side by aie. The Russians have also built a high tower upon the Mount of Olives, from whose summit the Meditterranean and the Dead sea can both be seen. The Greeks and Armenians are also busy builders, but they provide for the bodily rather than the religious demand of the pilgrims. The former build cafes and bazaars, and the |: oe ~ An Austrian Arc From the London World. The poor archduke of Austria is now in per- manent sequestration, the victim of epilepsy, that dreadful malady which is the hereditary curse of the imperial house of Hapsburg. He is a physical and mental wreck, fallen into that melancholy state which the French expressively atisme.” Wealthy. handsome, and win- ning, he was the most popular of the imperial grand dukes, and, with the exception of the | Archduke John, the most talented. For many years he had held with credit to himself and advantage to the army the position of com- mander-in-chief of the engineer corps of the imperial forces. His recovery is regarded as uite beyond hope, and his condition is such at death would be a release. — eee He Owned the Boy. From the New York Sun. “A boy is a strange machine, isn’t he?” queried the colonel, as he looked out of the office window. “I don’t see anything so very strange about that particular boy,” replied one of the other loungers as he sauntered up and saw a boy of ten on the opposite side of the street. “But he’s got a jug,” persisted the colonel. “Well, what of it? "Can't a boy carry a jug?” “But he is swinging it around his head!” “Let him swing. You never saw a boy who wouldn't.” “Tl bet he breaks it before he gets to the corner!” exclaimed the colonel. “Nonsense!” “Bet you $20!” “Done!” Half a dozen rushed up to watch further pro- | ceedings. The boy continued to swing the | jug, apparently bent upon performing some particular feat, and just before he reached the corner his hand slipped and the jug was dashed in pieces. “I knew it! I knew it!” chuckled the colonel as he danced around, “Drat him—here’s your money!” growled the other. An honr later, after spending the interval in solemn thought, the loser mildly inquired: “Colonel, ‘did you think you had a sure thing on me?” “Certainly. I bought that jug for the boy, and gave him 50 cents to carry ont the pro- gram!” ee A 240-Carat Diamond. From the Natal (Africa) Times, ‘The Jagersfontein United company (limited) hasfound a diamond of 240 carats, which is valued at over $12,000 in the rough. This is the finest and largest stone ever found at the cape, and eclipses in value and beauty the far- famed Ponter-Rhodes stone, which has hitherto been the acknowledged gem of South Africa, The name to be given to this remarkable dia- mond will be the Pan Davison.” “Chic” and Slang. From Table Talk. Tobe “chic” in conversation is an attribute much admired in either the man or the woman of society. A generous sprinkling of slang is permitted to enliven the small talk of the hour, and a new phrase that is suggestive is wel- comed with positive delight, The latest that falls on the ear with somewhat odd effect is “All in the soup.” The expression is an elon- gated form of the hitherto ular “‘left.” The unsuccessful suitor, the defeated political can- didate, the “exploded” financial venture, the overturned market basket; in short, mishaps and disappointments of ali kinds are described as “All the soup.” The phrase, which is claimed to be novel, savors strongly of the old- . le,” into which the dames and long ago, used to be wn, de- scriptively, if cases of discomfiture, or the ‘hot mo- “stews” by which they expressed their ments of anxiety. ———_+00_______ ‘Washington and Household Matters.

From the Philadelpbia Press, February 3. Superintendent of Schools James MacAlister delivered the first of a series of lectures on pyschology in its relation to education yester- day morning before about 500 teachers, mostly female, in the assembly room of the Girls’ Nor- mal school. Among other things he said: “It is only within the last half century that education has been put in a scientific form, and that is because we are now working with scien- tifie pyschology, It is a science of pure ob- servation and pursues its work chiefly and best through experiment and comparison. De- scription or introspection are also used, but must be held subordinate. We must neces- sarily study the body and mind in their inti- mate relations, as man’s nature is: two-fold, hysical and psychical, or mind and body. The wo must exist together. but we must not con- fonnd them. A knowledge of the nervous sys- tem is essential to a study of the mind.” Mr. MacAlister spoke of the evils of cigarette smoking and tight lacing and advised the teach- ers to speak freely to the scholars on these sub- jects, saying that the function of education is the harmonious development and training of all the powers of body and mind. In conclus- sion he said: “To teachers the most important feature of the study of psychology is the development and growth of the mind, but we must distin- guish between the two. The latter means in- crease of bulk, the former increase of complexity of structure.” They always run together, but without parallelism. We may succeed in get- ting a large nuniber of facts in the child's mind, but that is not education—there must be development. The best object for the student of psychology is alittle child. From six to eigl n or twelve years of age,the memory is most active, but the great trouble is that we insist on protracting this = and require as much memorizing in the high school as in the primaries. “The perceptive power is the first to appear in the child, then memory and new faculties, which are at first only germs, and as such re- quire strength. The dreadful mistake we have made all along is forgetting that reason is sim- ly aterm; hence the folly and destruc- Tvenees of expecting a child, six, seven, eight, or nine years to reason out an arithmetical roblem. He can_be taught to say it, but he ont know it. The process of the develop- ment of reason begins in sensation, then per- —- memory, imagination, conception, judgment, and reasoning power, and is ™m simple to complex. It is operated on by two factors, the fundamental capacity of the mind and hereditary, and the external of physical environment. All education that isnot em- pericism must rest on | paychology. M. Gerome on Art. THE GREAT FRENCH ARTIST'S FLING AT THE MOD- ERN BEALISTIO SCHOOL, From the Century. You ask me about my method of teaching. It is very simple, but this simplicity is the re- sult of long experience. The question is to lead young people into a straightforward, true path; to provide them with a compass which will keep them from going astray; to habituate them to love nature (the true) and to regard it with an eye at once intelligent, delicate, and firm, being mindful also of the plastic side. Some know how to copy a thing, and will rc produce it almost exactiy; others put into it poetry, charm, power, and make of it a work of art. The first are workmen, the second are artists. An abyss separates the mason from the architect. To-day, in this epoch of moral and intellectual disorder, there seems to be a sovereign con- tempt for those who seek to elevate themselves, to move the spectator, to have some imagina- tion; for those who are not content to remain fettered to the earth, dabbling in the mud of realism. Itis to-day the fashion to which all the world sacrifices, because it is only granted toa few to have a well-balanced mind, and because it is easier to paint three fried eggs than it is to execute the ceiling of the Sistine chapel. But ail this will pass like a shadowy phantom, and it need not make us uneasy. “ee A Blaine Man’s Will. THE GOVERNMENT LIKELY To GET $100,000 ovT OF MR. MERRIAM'S ESTATE. A New York special to the Philadelphia Press says: Surrogate Tuthill has issued a citation for the probate of the will of M. W. Merriam, the eccentric Suffolk county schoolmaster, who willed his property in bulk to the United States government. The executor, C. B. Ackerly, in searching for the assets found 81,000 in Mer- riam’s room in Northport. It was tucked away in old letters, books, and corners of old trunks and valises. It is thought that when his money is all -got together it will amount to more than $100,000, He has a sister, who, it is said, is worth £500,000. One reason he gave for willing his money to the government was that it was rich and could afford to fight his sister if she attempted to contest the will. His sister, it was said, will not contest the will, as there are some unpleasant family affairs, which would necessarily come to light in the contro- versy. Mr, Merriam was a zealous Blaine man. He refused¥to vote the republican ticket last fall because his favorite was not at the head of it. When the success of the republican party became known he at once named Blaine as his choice for Secretary of State. He said if Blaine were not aresnted, he would change his will and cut off the government. He fell dead in his schoolroom at Springs last Wednesday. He was sixty-five years old. etal doshas VEN The Price of a Mild Winter. From the Boston Commercial. The financial loss which the phenomenally mild winter has caused many manufacturers and merchants it is impossible to estimate. Some bnsinesses have suffered so much that it will only be with great difficulty and after a long time that they will be able to. entirely re- cover from the effects of this season’s poor trade. Not only have the clothing dealers, the furriers, and the sleigh and skate manufactur- ers suffered, but many other tradesmenas well. All of which goes to show on what an uncertain and conventional basis our whole industrial and mercantile system rests. Should the aver- age tempetature of the United States be here- after but a few degrees more or less than it has been in the past, or should men suddenly agree to wear entirely different clothing from what they do now, business in genera! throughout the country would be convulsed, if not for the time being entirely paralyzed. The Il-Treatment of O’Brien. THE NATIONAL LIBERAL FEDERATION TO BEGIN AN AGITATION ON THE SUBJECT. The council of the national liberal federation will hold a special mecting on Wednesday to consider the subject of Wm. O'Brien's treat- ment by the prison officials at Clonmel. Med- ical Inspector O'Farrell has ordered that Mr. O'Brien be given nourishing food. The med- ical inspector asked Mr. O’Brien’ to say what dietary he preferred. Mr. O'Brien replied that he was ready to take the ordinary prison fare, but that in other respects he wanted the kind of treatment that ought to be accorded to a political prisoner. The corporation council of Dublin adjourned yesterday without transacting any business as a mark of sympathy for Mr. O'Brien, Mr. John Morley, ina speech at Newcastle, es last night, characterized the charges and allegations contained in the crimes act as a landmark of evil of the last session of parlia- ment. No worse thing, he said, had been done since the dark ages. If our turn came we should not object to wear prison clothes, if clean. But Mr. O’Brien saw fit to make it a fighting question; therefore we are on his side, he being, to all intents, a political prisoner. Prominent members of the Liberal associa- tion of London held a meeting last night and decided to hold a demonstration in Hyde park pot zebras against the treatment of Irish politi- cal prisoners. Arumor has been current that Mr. John Dillon has abandoned his proj d Australian trip because of the reported illness of Mr. Par- nell, which, it was said, would make necessary & change of leadership in the_ national , party. This rumor is authoritatively denied. Mr. Denis Kilbridge, M. P., was arrested at Leicester, England, yesterday, charged with an offense under the eg act. —————eee—___ Employes are Passed.

Large Risks for Small Returns. From the New York Sun, Almost within sight of Europe are the Riff mountains, stretching along the northern coast of Morocco, and very imperfectly known, be- cause the fanatical Berbers would kill auy white man whom they caught among their wild hills, Even the watershed between the rivers flowing north and south is not indicated on the maps, and only two or three adventuresome whites, most notably Mr. De Foucauld, have been able, in disguise, to make fiying trips into the country. De Foncauld has supplied the best information we possess about these moun- tains and their warlike inhabitants, A while ago the sultan of Morocco sent them a gov- ernor, whom they promptly killed, and the sul- tan has let them alone ever since. Last summer Mr. W. B, Harris ventured upon this forbidden ground, a particularly rash undertaking, as be was not well equipped to support the réle of a Moor. His acquaintance with Arabic was imperfect, and, as he could not talk without exposing his real character, he played the deaf mute, and relied upon a trusty Arab boy as his means of communica- tion, In the garb of a middle-class Moor, with his bare legs and arms slightly stained, he tarted for Sheshouan, a town of 8,000 people which has lately made its first appearance on the maps, sixty miles south of the Mediter- ranean. He and his comrades passed many natives without exciting euspicion. Those who were inquisitive were informed by the boy that his master lived in Fez and was traveling to She- shouan, Two men of the Beni-Hassan tribe, however, accused him of being a Christian, and threatened him with death if he did not turn back. Harris pushed on in spite of them, and learned later that they let him go only that they might catch him when he penetrated further into the country. That evening their weary mules brought the travelers to Sheshouan, a rather flourishing community, which makes death the penalty to be inflicted upon any Christian who dares visit the town. The parents of the Arab boy live there, and they bitterly upraided their son for asking them to risk their lives by giving shelter toa Christian. They were prevailed upon, how- ever, by a large reward to entertain the stranger. Thus assured of a night’s shelter, and Jorgen d certain to escape notice in the indistinct light of evening, Mr. Harris sailed out to see the town and mingle with the crowds, Among thousands of bitter enemies he saun- tered very unobtrusively through the streets, but the rgeed of his position and the unac- customed sights made the stroll most inter- esting. He was seize to find a eee ee solid masonry spanni e river, aqueducts bring- ing water and distributing if torall: the! honees and gardens; mills grinding corn, their wheels turned by water from the aqueducts; streets paved with rough stones and bordered by gut- ters in which fresh water constantly flows: red tiled roofs found nowhere else, and houses much superior to those in many easily accessi ble Moorish towns. The people dress like those in other parts of Morocco. They regard themselves as direct descendants of the Prophet. next day Mr. Harris lay hidden in the home of his Arab boy. Toward evening, as he was preparing to start back to the coast, it was noised about that a Christian was in town. The men who threatened him on the road had arrived with the startling news that a white man in disguise had come to Sheshouan. His ae be had been to leave the town about dusk in the disguise of a woman, while his mules de- parted by another route. The excitement was growing, and it was decided he had no time to lose. Putting on a mountaineer’s garb, he stole out of one of the five gates unnoticed, though every one in the streets was discussing the rumor about the Christian. Outside the walls he was joined by his Arab boy and a friend of the faithful servant. Through the night they toiled along the mountain path to a distant village, which they reached before day break, and the white fugitive, whose feet wero bleeding from numerous cuts, was hidden dur- ing the day in the house of the friend in need who had accompanied him. Meanwhile his mules were brought from Sheshouan, and at midnight the fugitive was once more on the road, and in thirteen hours he had safely reached the coast. The Suit Against Ex-Senator Patterson. MARY B. FLEMMING'S CLAIM [FoR $50,000 For DAMAGES, In the suit'of Mary R. Flemming for damages for breach of promise of marriage, against John J. Patterson, ex-United States Senator, of South Carolina, the statement of the cause of claim was filed yesterday in the office of the prothonotary in Philadelphia, accompanied by an affidavit made by Mary R. Flemming that the matters alleged in the statements “are, in all respects, just and true to the best of her poe and belief.” The plaintiff alleges that Mr. Patterson promised to marry her; that a date for the marriage was fixed for several different times, but in each instance was postponed by the de- fendant, and that the defendant has since mar- ried one Mildred Frank, of Waukesha, Wis., who is now his wife. In consequence of the engagement the plaintitt alleges that she laid out and expended large sums of money in pre- paring for marriage, and in consequence of the reaking of the engagement or promise of marriage by the defendant, she has suffered loss of position, disappointment, annoyance, mortification, &c., whereby she is injured and has sustained dai to the extent of 250,000. see Ives AND STAYNER WANT A CHANGE OF VENUE.
