OF, and perhaps the youth Is removed from school
and sent into the country. This is one Of the
worst movements Removed from ordinary, di.

An AdrOit SWindleP.

Whether the stout and impassive person
briefly known throughout England as the
" claimant" shall prove to be baronet or
butcher, his fame at least IS reasonably
secure. Fate and the courts may refuse him
the hollow honors Of title, but they cannot
deny him the more enduring glories Of being
a precedent forevermore. With his ideas OF
syntax and photography, and his still more
peculiar notions of delicacy in regard to wo.
men. he could make but an inferior sort OF
baronet at best. But he must ever shine un-
rivalled as bold impostor-first among the
heroes of fraud and imposition.
Evidently, taking this view of his case, a
Young French gentleman Of parts has lately
been trying to rival him, unsuccessfully, OF
course. but still with undeniable cleverness.
His name is Jules Hurel, and he is the son of
a grocer at Passy. A good education and
naturally ambitious mind gave him aspira-
tons beyond this contracted sphere, and he
resolyedto be man of rank. The war sup.
piled him unusual opportunities for fulfill
ing this design. Serving as volunteer, he
made the acquaintance of the Marquis OF
Farente, whose good will he gained to such
an extent as to be able to borrow his pass
port, and with 1t, unknown to the Marquis.
