Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1856-07-15

doms of Great Britain The story goes that
the late earl, having sundry reasons for resid-
ing on the continent, had ceased for many
years before his death to hold any communi-
cation with his family. Now and then, the
LAWYERS despatched on business to FDntaine-
bleau, where the late earl had taken up his
residence, would bring back the most cheer
ing news for the heir-apparent to the title,
in shape of an account concerning the mis-
antropic habits of my lord, who would wan
der alone whole days in the forest, sometimes,
indeed, remaining away for days together,
and living in the hut of sabot maker, situat-
ed in the very bosom Of the wood But the
lawyer, whose hurry to get back to roast beef
and coal fires, evidently marred his profess
sional clearness of understanding, was COM
pletely at fault in his calculation. His lord
ship did not wander 'alone' in the forest.
neither did he remain in solitude when there.
The sabot maker had a daughter of a power
tul mind, voice, and manner, before whom
his lordship soon learned to tremble like a lit
tie child. The trumpeter we speak of has in
his possession certain documents brought TO
light by the circumstance of lying next
to an English soldier in an ambulance before
Sebastopol, which gave at this moment Sleep
less nights and aching hearts to a noble Eng
fish family, whose high position about the
English Court renders them peculiarly con-
spicuous.
These documents prove that the powerful
mind of the sabot- makers daughter was too
much for my lord, and that Just before the
birth of the trumpeter, she had acquired the
right of placing the coronet of countess on a
brow remarkable, it appears, for the bump of
decision, which was developed to an extraor-
binary degree But neither the powerful mind
nar decision of character could avail, she died

save from his maternal great grandfather, who,
believing him to be the child of shame, had
sought rather to conceal than display his ex-

soldier bearing an English christian name,
! when led to the discovery we mention for
the days and nights seem very long to man
stretched on canvas bed, and unable to move
from an ugly wound in his shoulder; and in
| such case, what can man so situated do
but talk to his neighbor about his own affairs?
| The English soldier, rather troublesome
customer, who has been lawyers clerk in a
| little place in Wales, and enlisted from disap-
| pointed love, has found somewhere means of
| pursuing the affair in favor of his friend the
trumpeter, and will not allow the latter to
| compromise the affair on any terms. A Gu
rious scene is nightly beheld in the good old
town Of Fontainebleau two Englishmen at
the Cheval Bleau, drinking brandy and water
together, and who, having come here for the
adverse parties in the affair, have been all day
long busy-the one in ransacking the whole
place for the witnesses of the marriage of Lord
-, the other hunting up proofs of his lord
ships insanity, so as to annul the marriage
altogether. Although much endeavor is made
to hush the affair, it has got abroad among the
initiated few, and opinion is all in favor of
the just and undeniable claims of the lucky
trumpeter.-Fyom a late English paper.
