In the enormity of its cockneyism we know
OF but one instance in which it has been rival
ed, and the truth of that was vouched for at
the time. During the winter when the HUI
Ear Regiment was recruited at Trenton, there
was an arrant cockney attached to the 1egi-
ment, whose fondness for the word "oss, y
moved one of the officers to remonstrance.-
Strengthening himself Immediately, our Hing
lishman responded: swell, Capt'n, if ha

hand ha he, don't spell 'oss, then my name

The verses are as follows: ~

not there.

A Strange Story.

The London correspondent of the Round
Table says: ...r
London is often filed with rumors off
Suppressed princess" here, and a beggar no
bleman" there. How much truth there may
be in such floating stories, Heaven only knows.
That the Princess ofMOdena lately died in the
Marylebone workhouse is certainly true, and
it is true that an Indian princess was the sub
ject of letter in the Times lately calling at
tention to her distresses. But lately a very
strange pamphlet was published in Bristol
giving story of this kind with more than or
binary veracity. 1t is the autobiography of a
blind man named James Davis, well known in
Bristol, where he goes about playing a con-
certina in the streets, and receiving such half
pence as may be cast to him. There has
been for some time whisper that he was the
Legitimate son of the late Duke of Glouces-
ter, and the pamphlet goes to prove that he is
so. His mother was the daughter of Cardi-
ganshire farmer, and her father having been
reduced to Strengthened circumstances, she
went out into the world as Iady's maid and
eventually got situation as under-housekeep-
er in the Dukes residence in London. After
being there some time she returned to her
fathers pregnant, stating that she was married
and that her husband would shortly appear to
own her. No husband, however, appeared,
and the young woman died three weeks after
1lCI COuuucncut. Liz adventures OI the DOW,
the subject of this autobiography, after this,
were numerous and varied. He went to
grammar school at Hereford, which he left on
his grandfather's death, and was then wan
derer for considerable time on the streets of
the town. Eventually he got an asylum with
an old servant, and there while ransacking an
old desk of his grandfather's, he discovered
some papers which, on being examined, are
said to have disclosed the secret of his birth.
and that he owed his parentage on one side
to no less parsonage than the Duke of
Gloucester. A friend of his enclosed the pa
pers to his Royal Highness, and shortly after
wards member of the Dukes household was
sent to Hereford, who brought the lad to
London, and he was received aud we'll treated
in the royal residence for some time. After
this he was sent to an institution for teaching
the blind, be having lost his eye-sight during
his previous sulferings. Being ANNOYED and
tainted with the name of the young Duke in
the asylum, he left it and returned to the
abode OF his Royal Highness, where he seemed
to have well cared for until the Dukes death:
on which event occurring he was cast upon
the world, and, after travelling throughout the
country, he at length partially settled down at
Bristol, where he may still be seen playing his
concertina, and led by a dog with small tin
cup in his mouth, intended to receive the aims
OF the charitable. The whole story is strange,
but highly respectable gentleman, who help
ed Davis to compile his autobiography, saws
he has every reason to believe that the partic-
ulars given are quite true.
