Some days ago we published an inte-
resting chapter from en- English paper,
giving an account of the Disappearance
from English society of the brilliant Lord
Lawrence Oliphant and his discovery in
"a semi-socialistic community at Broc-
ton, on the borders of Lake Erie" where,
as the statement went, "she once idolized
star of Belgravia now follows the pillow
aud wears the homespun." The West6eld
IN. ~ Republican adds: "The subject
OF the article is cashier aud general su.
perintendept of Mr.. T. l.. Harris Chi
nese colony and grape farms at Broeton,
fifty miles west of Buffalo, and is known
as Lord Oliphant in the neighborhood
He is said to be gentleman of quiet and
retiring habits, and mingles very little in
society outside of the colony, but has
the respect Of those who have been for
tunate enough to form his acquaintance
The colony grounds extend over seve-
raj square miles of land, and
embrace within their limits the -four
ishing village of Greenbush, at the
junction of the Crosscut railroad with
that of the Lake Shore. Mr.. Harris is
continually adding to his possessions,
and is believed to be one of the wealth
lest men in the county, and to care for
and manage his princely estate and the
affairs of the Chinese colony is far from
an obscure calling or an humble occups-
tion." A Buffalo reporter who recently
met Lord Oliphant says Of him: He is
toll and rather slender, yet noble and
commanding in figure, with high and
cspaeious forehead and a mild but ex-
pressive eye. Of his wife, who sat by
his side, it need only be said that she 10

pisinness. The colony consists Of twenty
families, and they owD, in common, 1000
acres of land. Mr.. Harris is the orig
inator of new system of theology some
what resembling Swedenborgianism. The
family is an institution sacredly guarded
among them"

There are doubtless many in this pop

OF Mormonism on this planet. To them
that would be millennium. They love

ignore, for her sake, the score OF

nontpsnsisr. the New King Of Spain.

The Duke of Montpensier, who, the
cable says, is TO be King of Spain, is the
ffh son of Louis Philippe, formerly
King of the French. He wac born at
Nuilly, near Paris, in 1924 His cum
ming father married him in 1916 to the
Spanish Princess Louisa, the sister of
Queen Isabella H., and at the same time
brought about the Queens marriage to
her imbscile cousin, Francis of Assist.
Louis Philippe supposed that this would
be a childess marriage, and that the
children of the Duke of Montpensier
would accordingly inherit the Spanish
throne. His calculation has proved
erroneous in every way. He himself
died in exile, and for more than twenty
years none of his family have seen their
native country. Isabella II. has num-
Der of children, and yet the old Kings
principal end win be essentially gained
when Montpensier himself puts on the
crown of Spain, with reasonable
chance, as thirgs 90, of transmitting it
to bis posterity. The new King will be
known as Antonio |.

One day this week the Queen sent
word to Dean Stanley that she wishsd to
pay him visit at the Deauery, West

have certain gentlemen eminent in lltera-

(,he historian and author Of Plato), Mr.

others. These favored persons-or was

with the interview which they had with
her Msjesiy. She paid a compliment, 10
all sincerity, to each. She had read Mr..
Grote's Plato. and expressed her sdmira-
ton for il. This will be gratifying to pub
lie writer not unknown to New York, who
has called Mr.. G.'s Plato" the greatest
book Of the age. The Queen showed
that she was familiar with Mr.. Brown

Two Aristocrats-The Nautical Boris and

The Springfield Republican says:
Some foolish person has been writing
about our new Secretary of the Navy in
the London Neps, that he is the center
Of large circle of influential families of
PhilaSelphia, and Of long standing.
His father built one of the first cotton
mills at Msuayunk; his uncle by mar
riage was the late Spanish Pre- mier, the
Duke Of Sotomsyor, his grandfather by
marriage was one Of the siguers OF the
Declaration Of Independence, and the

which the New York World very properly
laughs OF, though it often prints things
Just as silly. But We want to assure our

retail shop-keeper at Groton, and is none
the worse for it. Nay, there may be yet
extant in England the yellow mug that
Arthur Gilmah sent TO his English friend
10 1851, as a curiosity, because he had
bought it of the Governor of Massachu-
setts, who still owned his store in Groton,
and thsre sold the said mug to the Boston
wit. If crests were in fashion in the
Treasury Department, Mr.. Boutwell,
ought to take that mug for his crest.

Prompt Payment.

We are pleased to call the attention o
our readers to the following, from thu
Holmes County Farmer, Of recent date
relative to the payment of loss in that
county, by the National Life Insurance
Company of tue United States:
"Our readers will remember the an
nouncement of the death of j. Nc
Dowell, an old and esteemed citizen of
this county, in our issue of July 20, from
the effects of a fall from stack. Some
six months ago, Henry D. Mcdowell,
ESQ.,, son of deceased, took out $4,000
policy on the life Of his father in the Ma
tional Life Insurance Company of the
United States, through L. R. Hoagland,
Esq, local agent at Millersburg. BY the
terms of the policy the amount was pay
able to H. D. Mcdowell in sixty days
from the receipt of proofs of death at
the home office, which proofs being re-
ceived and found regular, the company,
in spirit which we cannot too highly
commend, and which should inspire, on
the part Of all, confidence in its liberali-
ty and promptness, authorized John W.
Ellis & Co., General Agents for Ohio
and Indiana, to anticipate the maturity
OF the claim and pay it at once, which
they did on the 26tb of August, just
three weeks after his death.
This is the first instance in this COM
munity of the death of one whose life
was insured, and naturally excites some
considerable interest in the matter of
life insurance, and calls attention to the
fact that, at least one company is prompt
in the payment of losses"
