THE SHAMS OF SOCIETY.
N. Y. Oliserver.]
"This world is all a fleeting show
For man's delusion given."
If I had any doubt on that subject,
it was rudely dispelled by the receipt
this evening by mail of a circular let
ter. Of the shams and humbug, the
hollow deceit and shabby tricks by
which people try to pass for what they
are not, I have seen as much as others;
but my education and intercourse with
the world bad not been so far extended
as to brirtg me into acquaintance with
a custom which "has long been prac
ticed in the large cities of Europe,"
and is now to be introduced among the
upper classes of the city of New York.
If a man has money and nothing
else, it is highly becoming and meri
torious to use it in the entertainment
of his friends. The Bible saith that
"money answereth all things." It
makes up for the want of brains and
culture, and helps him who has it to
be useful and agreeable. A rich and
hospitable gentleman will, with virtue
command the respect of his fellow-men,
though his early education may have
been neglected, and it is evident he
was not "to the manner born." And
it is now proposed to enable the stupid
est of men and women to show that
if "wisdom is a defence, and money is
a defence," as the Bible saith, so
money can buy wit, and the one who
has the most of "filthy lucre" can have
the most charming parties, with the
most entertaining guests, and the wit
and song and even the conversation
shall be made by machine, at ten dol
lars a head. But lam detaining you
from the circular:
[COPY.]
NEW YORK, May, 1882.
"Families, who are about giving re
ceptions, dinner parties, or other en
tertainments, will be gratified to know
that persons, who will assist in mak
ing these events pleasant and enjoy
able, can be obtained through the
medium of The Bureau. These
persons will not be professionals, but
parties of culture and refinement, who
will appear well, dress elegantly and
mingle with the guests, while able and
willing to play, sing, converse fluently,
tell a good story, give a recitation or
anything that will help to make an
evening pass quickly and pleasantly.
"The Bureau does not claim
any originality in this plan, but simply
complies with the increasing demands
of a large class of its patrons, in thus
introducing a feature of the business
that has long been practiced in the
large cities of Europe. The attend
ance of such persons, young or old,
male or female, can be had for the sum
of $lO per evening each.- We will
guarantee them to be strictly honest
aud desirable persons.
Respectfully yours."
I must confess to a slight sense of
wounded pride on receiving this pro
posal, having never felt the need of
such hired help at the dinner table or
evening sociable. The circular is cer
tainly intended only for the rich and
stupid. lam not rich, and it humili
ates me to know that this Bureau
thinks me stupid, and sends this inti
mation that for ten dollars they will
send a man to dine with me who can
tell a good story.
I had read in the Bible and other
Oriental writings of the practice of
hiring mourners at funerals, whose
weeping and wailing are in proportion
to the price paid for their cries and
tears; but it had never reached me
before that, in any market or country,
professional wits .vere to be let, who
are introduced to the company as
friends of the host, and are to be amus
ing at so much an hour. It is the
misfortune of some men who are gifted
with the faculty of telling entertaining
stories to be 'invited out' for the sake
of their powers, and the host would be
grievously disappointed if the wit did
not pay for his dinner by doing his
level best. Mr. Clark, of tfoe Knick
erbocker Magmme, was one of these
amusing gentlemen greatly in demand.
At a fashionable party, he was behav
ing himself with the quiet demeanor of
a gentleman, when he was suddenly
confounded by the approach of a ser
vant, who said, 'Mrs. Stuckup's com
pliments to Mr. Clark, and won't he
please to begin to be funny.' Now,
Falstaff was rigbt whpu hp said, 'lf
reasons were as plenty as blackberries,
I would give no man a reason upon
compulsion.' And no wit can be sum

And what man can with malice pre
pense or with forced amiability pro
duce entertainment at so much a yard?
There was a time—for aught I know
it may be so now—when |ings
professional jesters, clowns, fools,
dwarfs and oddities of all sorts to
amuse them and their guests, which is
certainly a better dish to set before a
king or for a king to set before his
trenebmen than the fights of beasts and
men which made a Roman holiday.
When British ladies aud gentlemen
were seen dancing, the native Chinese
gentry expressed surprise that they

The daughter of Jferodijis tlaucpd
bpfqre Jlprod a"tf pleased ldw, and the
murder of John the Baptist followed,
his venerable head being the price
which the sensual regent paid for the
evening's entertainment. But a danc
ing girl before a prince, or a chorus of
men singers and women singers such
as the king in Jerusalem got for his
amusement, was something quite other
than this proposition made to me bv
letter seems to luiugine for
a moment my adcfedfifg to ih'e offer and
availing myself of the opportunity to
engage for the very moderate sum of
fifty dollars five professional amusers
'parties of culture and refinement, 1
'elegantly dr«isscd'—who cotue to my
comfortably filled with the soft
of people who are apt to be here at an
evening oompany. These ten dollar
amusers are to 'play,' 'sing,' 'converse
fluently,' 'tell a good story,' 'give a
recitation,' 'or anythiug that will help
to make an evening pass quickly and
I pleasantly.' They are a£t to be known
as hired performers, but are tc be in
troduced as friends of mine, under
such name as they choose to assume
i for the occasion.
How much 'culture' or 'refinement'
I could I have to jilay such a trick on
my friends, and how much could
I these actors have who would go
about town to perform in the dis
guise of gentlemen and ladies! It
! is becoming and is not unusual to in
vite the services of singers and play
i ers on instruments to add to the
j pleasures of an evening, and it is per
fectly proper to pay them ; but this
is quite another thing from passing
off a stranger as a friend whose ac
quaintance your guests are supposed
to be makiug, while he is only
earning his wages by singing a SODS
or telling a story.
The letter I have received very
kindly offers to guarantee the hones
ty of these amusement-makers. That is
something. They might slip the
spoons into their pockets, or make a
mistake in getting off with an over
coat So we are given the assurance
that they will not steal; and so far,
so good." That is the only thing
about the business that does not
savor of sham, shoddy and snobbery.
But it is a part and parcel ot mod
ern 'society,' and is a natural out
growth of those conditions pre
vail where the possession of wealth
is a passport to association with
what is called the best circles. Ca
terers will furnish guests as well as
supper, and the man who has struck
oil has smoothed his way into places
that were hitherto inaccessible. Once
in, and the caterer will do for him
what is needed to make his receptions
brilliant and agreeable. The wit of
ages may be committed to memory.
The pleasantest stories that ever
were made shall be ready at his
word, for he has only to give the
order and the bureau will produce a
trained band of performers who will
astonish the natives, and make them
say, 'what a splendid set of friends
our neighbor draws about him !'
It is all sham and pretence. Good
sense condemns it as week and fool
ish. Religion rejects it as a part of
that great system of hypocrisy and
lies by which poor human nature is
always trying to appear something it
is not. The lack of early culture
will never be supplied by artificial
helps in after years. Manners are of
great value, but conventional manners,
the mere forms which society has
adopted by general consent, are of
very little account, whore kindness,
virtue and common sense rule the
conversation. The Apoßtle taught
courtesy as a virtue. Children should
learn it from the example and pre
cepts of their parents. To be agree
able to others is a duty, and it cer
tainly is a pleasure And the
family endowed with the ordinary
gifts of education and sense, will
not be at loss to make their friends
enjoy their hospitalities, without put
ting themselves to the trouble of calling
in the hirelings of the bureau, elegantly
dressed, able to tell a good story (
and warranted not to steal.

A Treineiulous Upliearal.
One of the strangest and most re
markable incidents we have ever chron
icled occured near this city on the Bth
of May. Seven miles below the city
the river suddenly widens, forming a
circle, and flows out into a narrow
stream, between high mountains
Mountains rise on all sides of it arid
the depth of the stream in the eddy is
known to be from GO to 75 feet, while
the river at both ends is not over 20
feet deep. It appear to be a tremend
ous basin in the mountains, twenty
acres in area, and its surface conforma
tion is such that the water flows when
it first enters in an opposite direction
from the current of the main stream,
finallv encircles the basin and flows in
the circular current down the center.
Ou Monday, the Btb, while a man
named Lawsoq was aear that point,
he saw the entire body of water in the
basin uplifted, as if by volcanic force,
to a heigth of six or eight feet, and as
soon as it settled, the sediment that
had accumulated at the bottom arose
to the surface, as if thrown up by an
explosion, and was carried off. Law
son, when the water arose, became
terrified and screamed to a Mr. Baxter,
who li vpd The latter rushed to
his door, heard the roaring of the
waters, and saw that they were great
ly disturbed, and the mass of vegetable
matter floating off. Gentlemen of re
liability also state that they saw the
debris and vegetation floating down
the stream soon after the incident wit
nessed by Mr. Lawson occurred, so
there is scarcely a of the
truth of the phenomenon.— Chat

His Memory Failed Him.
Henry Clay, of Kentucky, was a
natural orator. "When called out by
some immediate exigency," says Mr.
Robert C. VVinthrop, "no orator of our
land or of our ajje was more impressive
or more powerful." He was not a stu

The late Geo. Kvans, of Maine, used
to tell more than one amusing story of
Mr. Clay's efforts in this line.
"What is it," said Clay to him one

The Art of liaising Helous,
X. Y. Independent.]
It is no art at all to raise them in a
warm climate, on a sandy soil, well
manured; but how shall they be pro
cured, large and sweet, when the con
ditions are quite different. In large
sections of this state the idea of raising
watermelons and muskmelons, worth
the effort to obtain them, has been
abandoned as a practical impossibility;
and yet these luxuries are all the time
within easy reach by those who want
them. Iu Central New York such
ideas have long prevailed, as, also,
until very recently, that the thought of
raising Lima beans, or okra, or the egg
plant successfully must be abandoned ;
and so many of the fiuer grapes that
might be secured are not even sought
at all by multitudes, because of the
false persuasion that they are, however
desirable in themselves, yet unattaina
ble, in our peculiar circumstances, by
us. The soil, it is said, is too tough,
or sour, the air too raw, and the frosts,
early and late, too severe. But the
writer has regularly, every year, an
abundance of sweet, ripe grapes, of
many sorts—purple, black, red and
white—ready at hand in September.
And large and luscious melons he is
just as sure of obtaiuing, in any quan
tity desired, from the last of August
to the last of October, as he is any
other fruits of the garden, and by but
moderate effort and care.
Our soil is a str ng clay, which
bakes readily, under atmospheric con
ditions which often prevail here, into
lumps, little and big; and so is not
friable and powdery enough to meet
the needs of the finer vegetable growths.
Scores of loads of sand to the acre
would be worth as much to our rich
farm-lands and gardens as would be so
much manure to poorer land, by way
of loosening the soil for the easier
growth of the roots of vines, flowers
and trees, that demand great freedom
of motion underground ; and, if this
condition of successful growth be not
furnished, its absence will inevitably
cause them to be stinted and even, it
may be, to wilt and die.
Let him who would raise in our
climate superior melons or roses, or the
finer flowers and vegetables of any
kind, or such trees that are now exotics
among us—as walnuts and chestnuts
and the rarer firs—take special pains
to put a plenty of sandy loam into his
soil, if exhausted ; or, if rich, of sand
alone. The writer's way of raising
delicious watermelons and muskmelons
every year is easily described. He
keeps a pile of sand always near his
baru, replenishing it regularly each
year, late in the fall or early in the
spring, so as to have it always ready
when wanted. Early in May he pre
pares a good sized pile of mingled sand
and well rotted manure, half and half,
as his capital for work, in producing
desired horticultural results, whether
for the eye or the mouth. The time
here for planting melon seeds is be
tween the 15th and 20th of May.
Prepare your hills (so-called, but thev
should not bo above the rest of the
soil), eight feet apart each way, by
spreading into the soil three or four
good shovelfuls of the mixture of sand
and manure, already described, ming
liug this compost, half and half, with
as much of the soil for tho space of
about three feet square. A dozen such
hiils will furnish a sufficiency of tine
melons, of either kind, for a good-sized
family. Watermelons and muskmelons
may be planted side by side and will
not mix or modify one another at all
Squashes or cucumbers must bo, how
ever, curefully grown at a good dis
tance from them, and be, in respect to
prevailing winds, put on the leeward
sidr. Four or five seeds in a hill (in
the form of a quincunx is as good as
any way) will suffice.
The watermelons most sure to ripen
in our climate are the Black Spanish
and the Orange. Theso will be ready
for qsp, ripe and sweet, late iu August
or early in September, and last about
a mouth upoii the viues. The pleasure
of eating them may be prolonged
through another month by a second
planting of seeds, in other hills, two
or three weeks after the first planting
—say about June sth or Bth. There
are large and somewhat richer water-:
melons (raised for market on Long
Jsland and in New Jersey and striped),
that mature more slowly than those
named.
They may be secured and ripened ful
ly here, and be enjoyed to the full by be
ing planted by May Ist or sth, in little
flower-pots, a siugle seed in a pot, aud
kept in the house until the latter part
of the month, and transferred to tho
garden when thp eay-th is sufficiently
Warm. Those later watermelons the
writer has had, and stored for continued
use, year after year, up to the end of
November, and even to Christmas,
having them on the table every day, as
a refreshing addition to the dinner,
through all that period of the year.
Muskmelons, while of richer sweet
ness than watermelons, ripen SQ early
and so much at ORP titpp us to be gone
jn three or weeks ; but tho enjoy
ment of these also may be prolonged
b,y successive plantings of seed. A
little skill and watchful diligence will
brintf vwy satisfactory results here to
any ono that will take the pains to ex
ercise them.
The directions given already are
complete for raising melons. Now, to
guard them from being destroyed, al
most as soon as they appear above the
surface, by devouring insects, certain
precautions must be carefully taken.
The writer bad many years ago. \ou
boxes prepared of thii> \yood half
an t£:c.W), 15 inches square, open
»t both ends, and 10 inches wide.
These he covered with millinet, making
it firm with tape and tacks. You can
buy millinet of different colors—hi to,
blue and black These bo*es he values
Jn their place, like his garden-tools
themselves iu theirs, and uses them
always for melons and cucumbers and
squashes, of all of which plants bugs are
specia ly fond. Blue millinet brings
the plant's growth forward fastey
the other colors, and The. e
boxes serve W4U as a protection from
V.Hgs and as a kind of small hot-bed for
the plants that it covers. When he
plants a hill of any of the vegetables
mentioned, the writer puts one of these
j boxes over the seeds in the hill, and
j leaves them there until the plants press
in their growth against the millinet
with positiveuess. Thru he removes
the boxes, and stores them awav
(about June Ist or sth) for the next
yeai's use. The melons are now nice
ly .started and hare got a good consti
tution for their future develjpment.
But the bugs will attack them, per
j ehauce, at once, with all their might;
and, if not protected for a few days,
they will be greatly injured, if not de
stroyed. What further, then, must be
done to make all your previous efl'jrts
in the way of care and .-kill successful'!
Very tiuoly-silted coal ashes, sprinkled
thickly over the melon vines, will bear
them safely through this critical
peliod; but the writer has found salt
peter (two tablespooufuls dissolved in
a pad of water) both a means of ferti
lizing the plants and of killing the
bugs that iufest them. The bugs bur
row into the ground it ar the plant at
night, and the saltpeter kills them
there, while also nourishing the plant,
, being the nitrate of potassa. lie puts
a pint of liquid saltpeter upou each
hili, and never more than once or
twice in a season Saltpeter-water is
is equally valuable for young cabbage
plants and cauliflowers as for melons
and cucumbers and squashes. The
writer makes it a rule to have on hand,
every spring, for the uses indicated,
, several pounds of saltpeter (which is
cheap), as well as several loads of sand.
Au abuidance of fine melous all sum
mer long, and of cucumbers and cauli
flowers, and of noble squashes and cab
bage in the winter and early spring
(kept crisp and fresh by be.ug veil
buried in the grouud), are a full re
ward for the little care and toil incurred
in securing them. Benevolus.
