SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.-A special
mail telegram from London dated the 10th
of March, reports the following case:
Lady Blanche Noel, daughter of the
Earl of Gainsborough, was married on last
Sunday, at Chelsea Catholic chapel, by, it
is reported, the Rev. Mr.. Mullen, to an
organist of the plainest possible pattern,
named Murphy.
1t appears that Murphy, who is, of
course, an Irishman, had been in Lord
Gainsborough's service as organist, but
not very long since he was discharged,
and no sooner had he left the country resi-
dence of his lordship than her ladyship
disappeared The affair is now in the
hands of the Scotland Yard Detective
Department. Murphy and Lady Blanche
were both traced to Spital6elds. Her
father, who is recent convert to Catho-
isism, came to town and endeavored to
persuade her to return, but she declined,
and on Sunday the marriage took place in
legal form. They left the church arm in
arm, not even a cab being in waiting.
The witnesses of the marriage were an OLD
lady's maid and former servant Lady
Blanche Murphy is 26, and her organist
spouse %.
In upper circles the affair has created
quite sensation, and strange stories in
connection with the affair are afoat'

HEArHENs TO CONE BY SHIP LOADS

The Memphis Appeal announces that
the Merchants Trading Company of Liv-
erpool, worth millions of pounds sterling,
having 9 steamers and 20 sailing vessels,
of total capacity of $4,000 tons, will
embark in the undertaking of supply ng
Chinese laDorers to the South. The agent
of the company represents them as capable
of delivering at Charleston, Savannah, Pen
sacola, Mobile, or New Orleans, 100000
Chinese laborers at $3.50 apiece, payable
in gold, in certain instalments. The regula-
tions are said to be almost identical with
those of Koopmanscbap and strictly in ac-
cordance with the treaty between China
and the United States.

INTEREST TOO HIGH.-The Call re-
marks as follows:
Interest on money in California has
declined, but it is still too high for the
good of the people. On frst-class real
estate the late is ten per cent, per month.
Loans on business paper are effected at
from one to one and half per cent. per
month This statement has a reference
to San Francisco, but in nearly every other
portion of the State, the rates are higher,
ruling, from one to two per cent. per
month. 1t is certain that business will
not justify such an interest as we are even
now paying. Money should not be worth
in California, say, over eight per cent. on
real estate, and ten per cent per annum

Se1f-Operating
Clothes asher and Boiler /!
PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
The Best Labor-Saving Clothes Cleaner
ever invented
Thomas Greene, sole Proprietor of the
Patent Right for the Pacific Coast

There but few inventions or discoveries
which produce complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed year ago.
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in
sanity. But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process only cleans the Clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a surposition has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by the ex
perience of every lady who has adopted this mode
of washing.
Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be to be fully appre-
ciated as its full merits cannot be properly set
forth in an ordinary advertisement
Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus for the last six months, and more than
million of people have witnessed its success. Ten
thousand boilers were sold in New York City less
than five onths, from one stand, and at this time
the orders reach about one hundred a day No
one used it as directed that did not recommend
1t. 1t has been recommended by more than FIVE
thousand persons in less than six months Among
the names are those of the distinguished cit
izens of the United States but the best recommen-
daton is to take the boiler and use it yourself Do
just as you directed and you will be more than
satisfied. 1t appeals to all as matter of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind of an
Investment 1t will return yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such as bed and table linen
ladies' and genticmens' wear and childrens' cloth
ing, only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long washed in this way as by the old method
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing 10
or 200 per cent annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends than here stated but this
is taken as very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is The great con
venience and comfort of the thing, which, all aiken
together, makes it luxury which no family can
well afford to be without.
This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer
ed to the public. Anybody after rying it fairly
will not let it go out of of the house.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and CONSUMPTION.

Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children, it Is
at the same time the most enectual remedy that can
be given for neipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group. it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled ConsumptiOn Is thought in
curabe, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CHe1Ty Pecfor0l. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry PEG
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOrnf in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, do
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
