No-Account.

Correspondence of the Chicago Republican
Nothing Of a very exciting or startling
character has occur, ed in Gotham the past
week, except the elopemen; of a rich heir
ess, the only daug hter OF wealthy, but,
| rnay add, respectable parents. The
young lady with hcr "pa" and "ma,'
had been for the season at Newport. Ju
iia-that was her name-a Ene looking,
some say handsome, blonde of nineteen
summers, but just out in society this sea-
son, in fact a sort of "spring chick ep,"
became deeply in love with a certain "mi
lord" somebody from Canada, sprig Of
nobility duly vouched for and accredited.
Milford pressed his suite warmly and ener-
getically, spoke in glowing colors of his
rich landed estates il Uing'and, what a
fine establishment he could settle perma-
nenty on his lovely Julia, bis ancestral
renown, his high connections, his intimacy
with the male member of the royal fans
lily Of Merry England, but it was all to no
purpose, for spa and "ma' fatty re-
fused to give their consent. Julia would
be made one of the ladies in waiting upon
her gracious Majesty, the Queen, contin-
ued Milford ; move in the most aristocratic
circles of Europe, and be courted and
ieted wherever she went. But it was no
use "pa" and ma" were inflexible,
and, like stoics as they were, would not
yield. Milford then resolved 10 run away
with Julia. Cut loose from the domestic
oficousness Of spa" and "ma," Julia
at once consented. The plans were ar
ranged; letters explaining matters, to be
left with the cruel parents" the day
following, were writer; two reporters,
bribed TO prepare glowing description
of the whole affair and publish the same,
and the most intimate companions of mi
lord among the members Of the Athere-
um Club, were all pressed into the service
to make everything 90 off with fashlona,

at the very instant when the matrimonial!
knot was about being "spliced at the
house of prominent divine Of this city,
the door flew open with bang, an alarm
was heard, falut shrek uttered, tie
marriage ceremonies ceased, when in
upon the sacred scene rushed the tower

four policemen, all in uniform, with clubs
drawn. A crisis had arrived Matters
thereupon came to an abrupt termination
at once, and so MILFORD, instead of finding
himself lodged in the affections of the
bride, found himself more suddenly lodg-
