Loan CLTDI'II Wll.l.—Tbe will of Field-Marshal
Load Clyde—signed at Chatham, mind, where his lord-
ship died—is written, " strange to say, es • sheet of
paper bearing the Athenscrun Club mark." The inference is
obvious. A man snot get Minimum paper except at
the Athenrom. Suck papers out sold at Chatham,
where the last codicil to his lordship's will is dated. And
so ties painful belief is forced upon as, that a peer, a field-
marshal, weelthy, respected, illustrious, could pocket
paper at his club, and carry it away with him to the
country. OM fancies the hall porter conscious of
the old lord's iniquity, and holding down his head
as the marshal pears the dom. What is that roll
which his lordship weir! Is it his marshal's baton
gloriously woo? No: it is a roll of foolscap conveyed
from the club. What bas he on his breast, under his
greatcoat ! Lit his PAar of India ! No; it is a boodle of
envelopes, bear* the bead of Minerva. some sealing•
wax, and • half some of pens. Let us imagine how in the
