cunning pen Of Lord Napier, in which the diplo-
mats declined to dine until the slight misunder.
standing in question had been arranged The
gentleman OF Washington, on their side, were
not slow to side with their order, and one OF
the number, Mr.. Riggs, who holds, perhaps, the
highest position in Washington society, aud
over whose peaceful hospitality the geniality
and gentleness of his nature shed peculiar
I charm, being invited to . diplomatic dinner, he
replied in letter couched very much in the
terms Of the Napier note. For moment socie-
ty was at standstill. Happily. however, it
was soon again in motion. The diplomats
we're not long able to stand, like Tantalus, in
haling the fragrance while forbidden the en-
joyment of the delights of the Riggs and Cor
coran cuisine. They were starved into sur

Exhausted by the conflict, the victorious Cor.
coran sought, in few weeks travel with his
daughter come repose. But in vain. Wherev-
er he travelled he found Muruaga like care
mounted up behind. At the St. Nicholas, in
this city, his attentions became so annoying
that Mr.. Corcoran was obliged to make an APP
plication for his removal from the hotel. with
which, after little mental arithmetic in which
the proprietors calculated that two boarders
we're better than one, they complied. Before
leaving the young lady herself addressed Mr..

And now word with Mr.. Corcoran. There
are no circumstances which If wisely consider
ed may not be turned to good account. It is
an old but very good remedy for an injudicious
love to start another anda new one. There are
at present travelling through this country three
young English noblemen, scions OF the houses
of Sutherland Deyonshire aud Shaiteshury.-I
We trust we shall not Illustrate in any way the
object Of their visit, if we avail ourselves Of so
opportune an occasion to mention that it has
been chiefly directed by the design of strength
enlng the alliance between America and Eng
land by matrimonial connection between the
leading families of the two countries. This is
no new project 1t was favorite one of the
first Napoleon, who expressed himself especi-
ally DESTROYS to see some member OF his family
united with the Jeifcrsons and Washingtons."
1t has long been pet idea of Prince Albert,
who is master mind in matchmaking, and
who is said to have induced the parents oil these
young men to send them as the pioneers OF this
new and friendly crusade There is golden
opportunity for Mr.. Corcoran to relieve himself
at once Of domestic trouble and confer ma.
tional good. The young noblemen have been
carefully picked for their purpose, are warrant
ed to go gentle in double harness, and are
sound both in wind and limb. Indeed, we can
ina CINE no more beautiful tableau than Lord
Richard Grosvenor leading en- American heress
to the altar, upon which lovely and affecting
scene the curtain of this romantic drama could
descend. All is well that ends well.
