One of. the'Queens of Society.
In a Tery delightful book galled ■<< The
Queen, of Society,” just by tfie-
Harpers, we Anil nearly a .score ol.biojpir
phieS of women emlnteit for their beauty*
talents, fashion, or other .lading
which attract attention., .One of these w*e
Oeorgiana, Duchess ot Devonshire, kt 'one'’
time considered the , moat beantifhl woman fn
England. She had bralns, too, for she could
paint, and composed various poetical pieces
.which worc hlghly esteemed in tholr day.'One
of - these, entitled: the. “ Passage ■ over Momlt
Gothard,” contained this stanza: ■ ;
'And hail the oha,el I hail th'e platform wild
Where T«U dirmited.th* svensin, dart.
.With w.il'ttrung arm, that firet preserved' hie etiild,
Then aimed the arrow at the tyrant*, heart, -'' ■- ,
which so much delighted Coleridge that he
'addressed an ode to the Du'chfess, highly enl*-'
glsingher, the roftain or trarthen of which is j
' ** Oh Ladr. nursed in pomp and pleaaure'f ' 'A
.Whence learned yon that beroio meamrst” *;? .
She was,descended in the third degree Wifi,
the first DnchCss of Marlborough, that lovely
and iproud woman who at one time
QtieenAnnearoundher finger—even,as she
had wound the conqueror of Blenheim ahd'
Eamillies, who loved her even more thah he
loved money, which Is,saying a great,deal,
■From the Dnchess. of Marlborough came her
beauty. From her grandfather, the reprobate
<iJack Spencer,”:shetprobably derived* the
'talent, the reckless spirits, and some‘of the
imprudence which distinguished her. -
she waa.ln youth/ is thus described in l «;The
.Queen'B:” “As t.ady Georgiana grew, opj
she displayed,y warm, impressionable nature,'
a passion , for, all that was beautiful
etrong affections, and an early disposition to
coquetry. Her character spoke out in her
face, which was the most eloquent- of all
faces i yet'it was by no meansjbeautifhl, if we
look upon beanty critically. There were per
sons who said that her face would have
* been ordinary but for its transcendent
' loveliness of expression. Unlike the' fair
Gunnings, she was neither regular in features
nor fanltloss in form, yet theirs was baby
beauty compared with hers. Tree, her hah'
was, inclined to Ted, her month was wide, but
her complexion was exquisite; andtheßpe,
ever laughing, were parted over a splendid set
of. teeth, an attribute, rare, in thosedays when
the teeth were' often decayed in yontb. < She
had, too, a charm of maimer natural to berj
and - a playfulness of conversation,- which,
fringing'from a cultivated mind,, rendered
her society most fascinating;*’ Her hair wu
rid, and not even flatteryCeUld say that it was
only golden/, ■ f ’’ 11 ' S
At “ sweet seventeen” she was married to
.the fifth Duke of Devonshire, exactly ten
years her senior.. Thoyworo ah ill-assorted
conple: “He was one of the' most apathetic
of men. Tail, yet noteveh stately, cahn.to a
fault, he had inherited from the Cavendish
family a stern probity of character, which al.
ways has a certain infinehce in society;. Wtight
he wanted not, for a heavier man never; led to
the altar a wife foil ot generous Impulses and
of sensibility. He was wholly incapable ,ol
etrong emotion, and could only be roused by
whist or faro from a sort of moral lethargy.
Jle. was, nevertheless, crammed .with a learning
that‘caused him to be a sort of oracle at
Brookes’, when
from Bomtm poets, or hlstqrishsi„ 'W'itb aU
he ol;being, in a
Iftie was aTort of automaton, ,Ae was the
reverse—ail ; life, fire, action, with excessive
animal spirits, and a reckless dash in ail she
did. THer husband, as one/of the leading
Whig nobility, was necessarily a politician;
and she specdily plunged into the excitements
of party. . At that time, the actual centre
around which Whiggery revolved was George,
Prince of Wales,—uncle of Quoen Victoria.
Burlington Honse, the town-residonce of the
Dnke of Devonshire, soon became the head
quarters of the yonhg Prince.
The company which he met there was
mixed. Foremost was that Dnke of Norfolk,
with several boroughs under his thumb, which
made his adhesion a matter of moment to the
Prince’s party. This man, emphatically
called “ the dirty Duke,” had the look of a
burly grazier, the manner of an overgrown
Newgate Market butcher, and the habits of a
sot. He was known in his youth to have
been found sleeping in the streets, intoxi
cated, on a block of wood; yet he is related to
havobaec so capable ot resisting tho effects of
wine, that, after laying his father, a drunkard
mrsionfiom Fhilads^-,
MMorßtver Wmm-^
like' himself i under t|jo table at the Thatched
House, St. James’s, ho has been stated to
have repaired to another party, there to finish
the convivial rites. He was so dirty in per
son, that his servants used to take advantage
of his fits of intoxication to wash him; when
they stripped him as they would have done a
corpse, and performed ablutions which were
somewhat necessary, as he never made use of
water: he was equally averse to a change of
linen. One day, complaining to' Dudley
North that he was a prey to rheumatism,
“ Pray,” cried North, “ did your Grace ever
try a clean shirt J”
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, then entering
public life, was another of that Whig assembly
at Burlington House. A third was Charles
James Fox, the most able and dissolute of tho
whole party. A gambler, a spendthrift, and a
drunkard, be yet was leader of the Whig party
duriDg the last twenty years of the last century,
and finally died, virtually Prime Minister of
England, in 1806. * He had dark saturnine fea
tures, thonght by some to resemble those of
Charles 11, from whom he was descended In
the female line: when they relaxed into a
smile they were, it is said, irresistible. Black
Bhaggy oyebrows concealed the workings of.
his mind, but gavo immonso expression >rlus
countenance. His figure was broad, and only
graceful when his wonderful, intellect threw
oven oven that thopower'of genlnd and pro
duced, whenin-dSolamation, thu most impas
sioned nurtures. Having been a coxcomb in
bijyrfuth, Fox was now degenerating into a
I sfoyon. The blue frock-coat and buff' waist
coat with which he appeared in the House of
Commons were worn and shabby.
Profligacy of all sorts rained this able, bad
man. Beforo thirty be was reduced to dis
tress, even in the common affairs of life. He
could not pay the chairmen who carried him
Ito tho House. He was known to borrow
monoy from tho waiters at Brookes’, which
was the rallying-point of the Opposition.
He finally married his mistress, and lived in a
retired manner, not far from London, upon a
pension paid for his maintenance by his politi
cal friends.
In 1784, ten years after the Duohess of De-
vonshire’s marriage, Fox was engaged in that
famous ’Westminster Election, which figures
so prominently in the history of tho time.
The Duchess, with her sister, Lady Dungan
non, used to go into tho streets and alleys, into
voters’ shops and habitations, and solicit votes
for Fox, the ‘ < Man of the People.” Those
ladies were dressed in blue and buff, in com
pliment to tho Whig party. On the other
Bide, canvassing for Mr. Wray, the Toty candi
date, was tho beautifhl and haughty Marchi
i oness of Salisbury, a decided .Tory. At that
time, the Marchioness was thirty-four years
old. She was burned to death in November,
1885, in afire which destroyed part of Hatfield
House, the family seat. She never forgot her
rank, and was not very popular. ’

Duke died in 18X1, and “ Duchess Betty,” as
the tenants at Ch&tsworth used to call her,

oorqmanding beanty still remained. Her features >
were regular and noble, her eyes msgnifioent. andl
her fctteaoated'Agate w**'upright and dignified,
with tho step of an empress. Her complexion, of mar- j
We paleness, completed this portrait. Her beauti
ful arms and hands were still as white as ivory,
though almost like a skeleton’s from their thinness.
She used in vahfto attempt to disguise their.ema
elation by wearing bracelets and rings. Though
surrounded by every objeot Of art In which she de
lighted, by the,society, both of the Eoglfsb, Italian, j
and French persons of distinction whom she pre-j

. Everything'' seems to indicate the truth of
tho commott rtimir that tho late Dnke of De
vonshire—'’the Bachelor-Dnke—was son of
Lady Elizabeth Foster, and was changed, im
mediately after his birth, so as to pass off as
the DuWa legitimate son. The mystery will
not* probably; bo unravelled at any time* nor
is it of any importance* although it has been a
subject of much curiosity.
Had Georgiana* Duchess of Devonshire* been
a little less wbrldly, and wedded to a man who
could have cultivated her talent and properly
disciplined her mind* sho would have left a
brighter and better name than she did. It is
possible that her faults were greatly exagge

as reckless and untamed as she was beautiful
and gifted.

The Convention held in this olty on Wednesday
last in favor of the regular nominees of the Na
tional Demooratio party, “ Douglas and Johnson, V
was an earnest, enthusiastic body, composed of a
large majority of the trueßt and stauochest Demo
crats In tho State. Every county in the State, from
Capo May to Sussox, was represented, and a large
majority of tho regular delegates elected by the
primary meetings woro in attendance at this Con

tedly, and, without seeking or oonrting alliances
with any other faotlon, accomplished their busi

oomposed of true, tried, and reliable men; laid
down a broad and bold pl&tfonn of principles; ap- n
pointed an active and intelligent Contral Commit

I stern adherence to “ Rogular nominations.” It
was amusing and pitiable to seo the Breokinridge
I men iu oounoil. Thoy hod no inside loader except
| “Droby Spoor,” who was a dolegate to Buffalo in
1848, and opposed General Cass bitterly. The fact
I is, all the talent of tho party was in tho “ Regular
.Convention.” Poor Spoor fumbled, and fussed,
and fumed, and at last proposed a committee of
I conference with tho u Regulars,” arid with the
“Bell and Everett 1 ' toon.
The Douglas Convention had by this time
adjourned sine die, and there could not, of course*
be any conference with thorn. The committee then
wont to the Union Convention, and humbly suppli
eatod ft conference. This was flatly refused , as
appears by the published proceedings of the Con*
vention. Being then at their “ wit's end," they did
not know what to do. At length they found oat
who the Bell and Everott men were likely to pat,
on their tlokets, and they nominated three of their
elootors, and then scattered for their homes down
east,- ashamed, and deeply mortified that all theft
schemes to oheat and humbug the masses into a

[Correspondence of The Frees.]
New York. July 28,1880.
Geo. N. Sanders and Robert J. Walker are said
to contemplate the a new daily. I
doubt Ik In addition to the enormous expendi
tures now required to establish a daily journal, the
preliminary expense for the bare privilege of ob
taining telegraphic deßpatohcs of the Assooiated
Press is enough to deter the most hardy adventu
rer. • When The World got ready to make its ap
pearance, it was informed It could not be furnished
with the regular telegraphic reports until it had
paid a bonus of twenty-five hundred dollars for the
privilege. And .that amount it was obliged to pay.
The last sensation announcement we have is that
about forty of the intimate personal friends of
Isaac V. Fowler propose to pay him a flying visit
about the last of next month. The idea was
startod by Gcorgo H. Parser, now on bis way
hither from Europe, who will arrange the details of
the affair.
Heenan’s great fistio exhibition will not be given
until Monday week, instead of on Monday -next-
He yra&, unable to obtain any of the Broadway the

<p ro j tp p£y a vMt to his affectionate “ pap,” the
Qrti thW governor said, after shaking him by
the hand, was: “ John, you must lick Morrissey,
right away; I oan never die easy until you have
whipped him! 0 It is scarcely necessary to say
that ;the fraternal wish ft the ona nearest the
Boy’s heart, and that whenever time and tide
serve. Mr Morrissey will receive a polishing such
as he never had before.
No comio paper has yet beon able to permanently
make its way in this oountry, and it is problematical
whether any one oan. Vanity Fair , whioh has now
boon running seven or oight months, bids fairer to
accomplish it than any ef its predecessors. Some
ohanges have reoently boon made in its editorial
and. .business management. Gharles G. Leland,
lato of Philadelphia, an accomplished and indus
trious litterateur , has assumed prinolpal odltori&l
charge, and additional talent has been employed
in the artistic department.
Although complete returns have not yet been
made of the census of this olty, sufficient data has
been obtained from the different wards to enable
me to form a fair estimate of; the present number
of inhabitants. The aggregate will probably foot
up between 850,000 and l99o,ooo— enough on the
present basis of representation to give the city
nine instead.of six members of Congress. Suppo
sing tho population of Brooklyn to’ bo 300,000,
whioh Is probably under rather than' over the ac
tual number, and Jersey City, Hoboken, and Sta
ten Islaud to be 106,000, the population of persons
whose business is in New York, and who -are for all
practical purposes New Yorkers, is not less than
one million, two hundred and fifty thousand. The
real and personal estate of New York Is estimated
at* *702,000,000.
There is no abatement of the rush of strangers
to the city. On the books of the hotels alone there
have been registered, during the last forty-sight
hours, nearly twelve thousand names.

The Syrian Massacres.
A letter from Beyrout, of the 2lst, in the Paris
DebatS) says:
“ I have already Informed yon that Jahir Pasha
had gone to I)eir el-Kamar in order to oompel tie!
Druses to abandon the att&ok on that plaee. Since
then we have learnt that he oonld not obtain that
result, except by giving the latter the assuranpo
that tne Christians would not leave it bn any pre
tence. Being tranquilised on that Score, thfey
turned their attention towards the two towns of
Hassebaya and Kaohaia and made a vigorous at
tack on them, and the former fell into their hands;
The inhabitants took refuge in the barracks, but
they were not admitted without depositing their
arms- Kaohaia having resisted, the Druses were
compelled to conclude a treaty of peace, but which,
notwithstanding all the formalities had been gone
through with the idea of making it lasting, did dot
continue in force for more than 24 hoars, the town
being again attacked at the expiration of that
time. !
“The Christians, being taken unawares, were
massacred, and their houses pillaged and burnt.
After completing their work at Draws
returned to the barracks of Hassebaya. The un
fortunate people in it experienced the same fate
as their neighbors; they wore all slaughtered,
and with them the Mussulman Governor and
32 members of his family, bocause they wferc
descendants of the Cheab family, and protected'
the Christians against those horrible * attaoks.
After the destruction of these two towns, {he
Druses,' accompanied by a great number of {he
Bedouins of the plain, Metualis, Mussulmans,'
and other non-Chnstian sects, went to the town
of Zahle, which could not afford any resistance.
After the massacre of all the inhabitants, a French
Jesuit oonvent at the gates of the town was set
fire to. Having accomplished this work, there
only remained tor them Deir el-Kama to pat the
finishing stroke to their atrooities. They attack
ed it with the neatest fury, and there now re
mains of it neither houses nor inhabitants. sAt
the present time, the country which formed the
Druse Kaimakanate does not contain a Christian,
and the general expectation is that the Druses,
reinforced by Mussulmans of all sects, will eoonj&V'
tack the other Christian oouotriei—Maten, B#ex
leya, Castiawan, Ac. Unless assistance hw sent
from abroad, the Christians of this will
soon be completely annihilated.” V" ~
A Utter from Jaffa, of the 21st the (razttu

“ Palestine already feels tljr efioct of the horri

of the fanatio Mussulmans of that great city; A
