There is romantic phase in the career of the
late Lord Elphinstone, of whose death we are ad-
sised by the Asia, not very generally known, and
which, it is rumored, accounts for his living and
dying bachelor. Some twenty-five years ago,
says the gossip of the court, he was smitten with
tile charms Of young girl Of the hghestrank, who
also esineed predileetion for him. It was for
this and to get him out Of the way, that Lord FL,
phinstonc WAS honored with high elinial position
in India, for it thought best that Victoria the
young Queen of England, should have 4 Prince
Consort from Germany, rather than that old ira
ditions should be infringed upon, and a British
monarch marry one of her own subjects,

duet Of roses and leaf sprigs in the button-hole of
his somewhat aashy cutaway coat While his eyes
were fixed upon the huge bnlk of the Great East

STEINER IN a PARteHuTE.- Prof. Steiner. the
aeronaut, has been astonishing the people of St.
Lawrence county, N. T., by his feats. He made
an ascension last week in company with another,
and when at the hight OF two miles Steiner took
n parachute and descended TO the earth. The
spectators were thrilled at the sight and stood
hfeathlcss as the daring aeronaut was descending.
He landed safely, however. This has long been
favorite feat with the English and French aero
nauts. \ parachute il made chiefly of silk or can
vas in the form Ct ar umbrella, so as TO gather in
the air in its descent, and therefore fall steadily
with its weight suspended underneath. Iteontains
gas and the aeronaut has no control over il eS-
cept that his weight keeps it steady and right side
up in its descent.
