The PRINCE OF WALES SCANDAL
Among the scandals attaching to the rep,
utation Of the Prince of Wales, is that he
has scduccd the wife Of Sir Charles Nor
daunt, to whom he paid a visit some
months ago; and Lady Mordaunt has
confessed to her husband that the child
she lately bore him is not his. But
on the other hand, it is alleged, that the
confession was made by the lady during
the delirium Of a wild fever, which fol
lowed her confinement, and that she i'm
picatcd several other galants besides the
prince. 1t was stated that suit brought
by the husband for divorce had been
hushsd up to save the princes reputa'
ton, but one Of the local papers, the Biz
mingham Gazette, contradicts the report,
and states that Sir Charles Mordaunt is
going on with his action.

A VIVID CONTRAST The following
account Of an occurrence in Nantucket
some twenty years since presents a vivid
contrast to certain business transactions
Of the present day. and so may be Of in
terest: 1t was a severe winter, and the
harbor had been frozen over for weeks.
The coal in store had long been exhaust
ell. and there was much suffering from
lack of fuel, Even the fences had been
torn down and burnt to exc out the scan.
ty supply of wood. To the great delight
of the townspcople the ice broke up one
fine morning, and schooner laden with
coal was seen approaching. There was
much excitement, and before the craft
was moorcd coal dealer boarded hei
and eagerly addressed the honest Quaker
skipper, Captain Clifford, "Wall, Cap.
cn, said he, you've about hit il this
cruise. i guess I'll hev to take yur hull
cargo S'pose you'll want morn the
usual 81 ton. Wall, | like to do the
squar thing by friend, and I'll give you
Sl2 ton for it" Friend" said Cap
tain Clifford, "thee can have one ton fol
%, out oHly one ton all HlusV HaNc
chance" Just then one of the richest
men in the place joined them, saying 81
want ten tons of your coal at your price
name it, / have suffered enough fol
once" lie received the same answer
and so did all--one ton for each family
and SO as the price of each ton. Nc
love of gain, no solicitation, no regaro
for individuals could move honest Cap
tain Clifford.
