The fashionable world of London, and indeed
ali of Europe was in 1853, in state of the great
est ferment, on account of the marriage of Miss
Leonora Rothschild, OF London, daughter of Baron
Lionel de Rothsehild of that city, TO her cousin
Baron Alphonse of Paris, son of Baron James
Rothsehild, of the latter place. All the prepare
tons were on a scale Of magnifcence COMFORTING.
with the position of the richest family in the world,
and the gifts from friends ranged all the way from
ten cent pin cushions from Jewish charity pupils
who were made comfortable by the enaoWmeuts
of the brides family, up to set of jewels valued
as one hundred and fifty thousand dollars-or as
much as an East IndaEman loaded.
But strangest among all the gifts was fat,
rather dirty, strong, plain envelope, with broken

dreadful suspicion came over the minds OF the
family that he was going to disgrace himself by
lgiving nothing. At the very last moment, when
the Old gentleman had deprecated immensely in

, there was acry that he was coming. There was
a strange mixture of twinkle in his eye, reminding
one of the stories told of his father and of quiyer

L Mr.. Bristol had bagged large quantity of gold
Iduring the war, and mad recently invested largely
in United States bonds, having some twenty thou
Island dollars in bonds and gold in his house. A

officers in search Of stolen bonds, visited the
lhouse, demanded possession Of the bonds until
isuch time as the numbers could be examined, and

take him into custody. Mrs. Bristol and three

that the course of justice required their arrest I'M

and Mrs. Bristol, with the three hired men, were
manacled and ordered to sit still. The " officers
then secured the stolen = bonds, and also con-
fscated the gold as part Of the proceeds of other
| bonds probably sold, and withdrew for colsulta-

necessary to state that the "oficers" did not
come back. The handcuffed victims waited until

minds that they had been sold at very costly
lprice. The alarm was given and the services of a
| blacksmith secured to unrivet the chains, but in
the meantime the robbers had fed leaving not a
