Let mo tell you TINT Newcastle and Hamilton
arc cousins, and that In the blood which unites

Susan Hamilton, who married tho lato Duke
Of Newcastle, and WIS tho mothor Of tho present
ruined Duke, was divorced from her husband nt-

and Indy Susan, his sistor, -havc run tho course

who In personal appearance would bo pointed
out and distinguished in tho most socct drawing
room in London; and Hamilton, at least, incrod-
brains: There Is a differences in tholr agos, Now
castle being about 40, and Hamilton only IS.
Thecssoor Of tho poor Marquis Of Hastings
had not little romance in It, and above all WAS

good effect on tho sprouts OF the nobility; but 1t

Hamilton and Newcastle, who went on after
wards from bad to WORSE. Newcastle has be-
come bankrupt, and is supposed to bo living

Padwick not long ago instituted O suit against
him to recover a gambling debt Of about half
million Of dollars md though Nr. Gladstone
