Aristocracy in England.
PATRICIAN POVERTY.
Besides the legalized and intended dis- parity’ produced by the accumulation of splendor and wealth in the hands of one at the expense of the other member of a family, there ig a glaring inequality of fortune among the peers themselves, and comparative poverty exists even among earls and dukes. Many of these magnates have difficulty in making both ends meet. Their establishments are so enormous, their states so elaborate, their luxury so prescriptive, that for the sake of these they sometimes relinquish - comforts: which’ léss priviliged individuals consider indispensable. They made me think of what I heard one of them say: ‘I'can get along without the necessities of life, but I must have the luxuries.’
[ once stayed at a palatial establishment where a peer of ancient name was entertain- ing forty guest. After dinner the company was scattered in half a dozen drawing- rooms, and whenever, by some chauce, ene of thé apartimenits was left unoeccupiéd, the master went in and blew out the candles, for economy.
At another house, as the party broke up, the butler came to me and said the family were leaving for a visit themselves; her ladyship knew I was a housekeeper, and requested me to buy a fine large salmon, which otherwise would be left on her hands. The fish was perfectly fresh, and they would pack it nicely for me. I ascertained that my hostess sanctioned the muckstering, so I paid for the salmon, and my own man carried it off in a hamper when I left for the train. My cook declared that it was neither so cheap nor so good as I could have purchased in London.
In the years 1878-9 the harvests in England were bad beyond precedent, and simultaneously came a great depression . in trade; the importation of fresh meat from America began at the same period, . inter- fering, of course, very materially with the profits of cattle raising. It became ineyvit- able to lower the rents, and nearly all of the great. proprietors suffered a diminution of _ from; one-fourth to one-third of their incomes... There was a positive change in the style of living of not a few of the aristocracy. Peers even, with unmar- ried daughters on their hands, were unable to come to town for the season ; great country houses were closed while their owners went abroad to economize. The agricultural strikes began at about the same time, and the Irish difficulties abso- lutely impoverished many important land- holders. I knew peers who were reduced to an hundredth part of their previous’ in- comes.
Many of the nobility lately resorted to various devices for making a living. “They became chairmen Of railway companies; they are interested in stock; they lend their names without ¢apital to business speculations, just as prominent people do in America for a consideration. A ‘brother of a Duke and a member of ' Lord Beacons- field’s Government ‘was concerned in some city enterprise that ended dishonorably, and obliged to give up his place under the Government. About the same time several others—commoners, baronets, and honor- vbles—became bankrupt and resigned from the House of Commons. - The Earl of Win- chelsea, the head of one of the oldest fami- lies in England, was bankrupt for’ many years and unable to take his place in the House of Lords, for that assembly ' refuses to allow an acknowledged bankrupt to sit in its chamber.
But now many peers have the resource of bankruptcy.. The creditors of great aristo- crats are usually unable to attach the land, and must content themselves with personal assets. Only a year or two ago the Duke of Hamilton, the intimate friend of the Prince of Wales, and sprung himself from the noblest houses in Europe, as nobility goes, was obliged to sell the inestimable treasures of art and literature which his ancestors had accumulated. The ‘present Duke of Marlborough ‘has disposed of the Blenheim collection, which was almost a national monument. Every now and then one of the peerage comes to grief from gambling or mishaps on the turf, or, still worse, dissipation or extravagance. There are eldest sons of earls who cannot liye in England without incurring risk of imprison- ment on account of illegal entanglements.
This sort of ‘poverty does not arouse the liveliest commiseration, but the innocent suffer as well as those who precipitate the storm. I knew a nobleman of oldest family who came into a great estate which was hor- ribly embarrassed by the conduct of his pre- decessor. The new man was unblemished in life and admirable in character. By excel- lent business management, careful econo- my and downright hard labor he brought back the property to its pristine prosperity; but his heir pledged it nearly all again in advance, by post obits and similar devices. The father was obliged to pay the debts of his son over and over again to the amount of hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the estate became as much involved as ever. The creditors however, unable to break the entail and the great property re- mains for some future peer to restore and his suceessor to involve, if entail and aris- tocracy continue.
The condition of the. dowagers has. al- ways seemed to me especially pitiable, the descent is so tremendous from millions for an income to-comparative indigence. They have once wore the coronet and blazed with the family jewels, only to hand them oyer to another ; have been mistress sometimes of half a dozen mansions, only to be re- morselessly expelled from all, and glad at last to take places in the household of the Queen for the sake of the wages of a few hundreds a year, or else to live in little houses in insignificant streets, and keep no carriage.
@ knew a Duchess, not now living, who reve'ed in splendor part of her life, but on the death of the Duke she was reduced to £4,000 a year—not enough to cover half of what she thought her necessary expendi-
ture.
Me eines, - Wee RT Dyed or: > P “et te « a eRe 8 ee ee
an Americon women of fortune, and the couple travelled together, the Duchess the guest of the democrat: They were fast iriends, but appreciated ‘each other's advan- tages. One night at a ball at the Mansion House, when no royalties were present, the Duchess was put upon the dais, usually re- served for princely . personages, ‘and’ the American was profoundly impressed’ with
jthis indication of city “deference, “Tow
nice it must be to bea Duchess,” she ex- claimed. ‘‘Ah,” said her Grace, ‘‘but you are so vich !” ‘Ves,’ replied ‘her “candid countrywoman. ‘‘Youhave the rank, and 1 have the money and clothes.”
Another dowager, whose husband had been called the wealthiest’ “commoner “in England, was left £8,000 a year, though he willed away millions. A woman is nobody in Englishmen’s eyes. The husband” had been fond of his wife, but it did not occur to him to provide her with the state to which she had been assustomed for 2 life- time.
The daughters of great houses prepare for their fate from the beginning. They never resign unless they marry. If they cannot secure a husband, they club together when the father dies, aud keep’'up ‘a little estab- lishment in an obscure way; or the Queen gives some‘of them, out of charity, roonis at Kensington Palace or Hampty Court, or some other asylum for decayed aristocrats. You find there women of the oldest lineage pinched for their dinners and their gloves, whose early lives were spent in the most sumptuous structures and splendid style that this world knows.
The peerage itself is reached by the ris- ing tide. Lady Waldegrave derived a large income from’ her coal mines, and’on her estates I have often seen long ‘trains’ of trucks heaped up with coal, every truck labelled in large letters, “Frances, Countess Waldegrave.” For my part I could never see why the mining business is less ignoble than the manufacturing; but a Lord is never a manufacturer, ‘though’ the revenues of some of the greatest.peers are derived from their mines. The distinction is too fine for democratic eyes. -A Lord may manage a theatre, but not an hotel; he may hire ballet girls and opera singers, but never be a pub- lisher; he may sell ‘‘coals” but not books.
Of late years, it’is true; there have been earls who owned handsome cabs for specu- lation, and’ others who have started milk companies, and the milk was delivered in London from carts that bore their illustrious names. But ‘those have been abnormal cases; usually they glossed over their con- nection with business. They dabble in stocks, women as well ag men, and several peers are interested in banks. Lady Bur- dett-Coutts is a member of the great bank- ing house that bears her name; and none are too proud to receive the results of trade. Half at least of the present peerage are connected with persons who have been engaged in business within a century. The Ashburtons, the N orthbrooks, the St. Alban’s,’ the Longfords, the N eweastles, and a hundred others are descended from tradesmen within that period; but mer- chants may not go to court.
The very letting of land is a trade ag purely and simply as shop keeping, and the grandest of them are in this branch of business. They are never above turning an honest penny, even if they sell their game.

A Powerful Ironclad.
The Thames ironworks company are about to deliver to the government the new ironclad Benbow, 12, the most formidable of the six ironclads of the admiral type at present building for the royal navy. The Benbow was begun early in 1883, and was launched at Blackwall in July, 1885, when the christening ceremony was performed by Mrs, Gladstone. She is to be brought to Sheeness for her trial trips. Shé has a dis- placement of 10,000 tons, and has been fitted with compound engines of 7,500 horse power. She will be armed with two 110- ton breech-loading guns, the heaviest ord- nance ever mounted on a ship of war or fortress, which will ‘be mounted in’ bar- bette towers. Besides these ‘formidable weapons the Benbow will be equipped with ten six-inch breech-loading’ guns, mounted on Vavasseur fittings, 12 quick-firing shell guns, eight Nordenfelt guns, two Gardener machine guns, and four tubes for firing torpedoes. She will carry 12° Whitehead torpedoes. The citadel of the Benbow is plated with steel armour 18-in. thick, and will be the most powerful ship afloat, with the exception of the Nile and Trafalgar, which have only just been laid down. She will rely entirely upon steam power, being provided only with a ‘‘military” mast from which machine guns can be fired. Her total cost is estimated at about £600,000.
Consumption Can be Cured,
Not by any secret remedy, but by proper healthful exercise, and the judicious use of Scott’s Emulsion of Cod ae = ang Hypophosphites, containing the healing an tea bivgiving virtues of these two Yaltable specifics in their fullest.form. Prescribed universally by physicians, uke no other. They get along fast in Dakota, and to prove it a story is told of a recently elected Judge. He had been a sort of free lance in his profession, and had incurred the enmity of a certain lawyer. This lawyer came be- fore the Judge the other day with an or- dinary motion, which should have been
granted in due course of ‘law. — But it wasn’t. ‘‘Motion denied,” yelled the Judge. ‘‘But, your honor”—‘‘Motion de-
nied, I say.” ‘Your honor, one word, if you please.” ‘‘Not a word, sir.” “Your honor seems to have a prejudice against me.” ‘You're right, I have,” said the Judge, ‘I’ve been laying for you for the past three years, and you don’t get any motions in this court.”—New York Sun.
