A Romance in Real Life.

Lady Sarah had evidently inherited
her beauty from her mother, who, while
still in the school-room, was married, in
truly ludicrous manner, to Lord March.
The story is told by her grandson, Mr..
Henry Napier
my grandfather, the second Duke of
Richmond, was enc of the lords of the
bed-ehamber to King George H., who
then resided at Kensington Palace. He
had been, as was the custom in those
days, married, while yet a boy, to
Lady Sarah Cadogan, daughter of that
Lord Cadogan who as cavalry officer,
distinguished himself so much in the
Duke of Marlborough's wars.
This marriage was made to cancel a
gambling debt, the young peoples con-
sent having been the last thing thought
of. The Earl of March was sent for
from school and the young lady from
her nursery; clergyman was in attend
ance, and they were told that they were
Immediately to become man and wife
The young lady is not reported TO have
uttered q word. The gentleman ex-
claimed: They surely are not going to
marry me TO that dowdyl' The cere-
mony, however, took place; post-chaise
was ready at the door, and Lord March
was packed off with his tutor to make
the grand tour, while his young wife
was returned to the care Of her mother,
a Dutch woman, daughter of William
Muncter, counsellor of the courts of Hol-
land. After some years spent abroad
Lord March returned, well educated,
handsome young man, with no very
agreeable reeolleetipns of his wife.
Wherefore, instead of at once seeking
his own home, he went directly to the
opera or theater, where he amused him
self between the acts, in examining the
compang. He had not been long occu-
pied in this manner when very young
and beautiful woman Mere especially
struck his fancy, and turning u 2 sen
tleman beside him he asked who she
was. You mUst be stranger in Lon
Aon,' replied the gent teman,. not to
know the toast of the town, The beauti-
full Lady march, Agreeably surprised
at this intelligence, Lord March pro.
ceeded to the box, Rnpppnced himself
end claimed his bride, toe very fowdy
whom be had so scornfuily rre!ecteq
some years before, but with whom ne
afteEward lived so happily that she died
of a broken heart within the year OF his
decease, which took place at Godalming,
in Surrey, in August, 1850" =.
This is truly one of the fF9lles in
which destiny every now and then IN,
duIges. The young man, married
whether he would or not, scarcely look
ing at bis bride, after one glence has
suHiced to make him cry out agsisst
being married to That doydy," is meant,
later in life, to fall iR love with that
same "dowdy" grown into beauty
and the two are 30 happy together that,
when he is dead, incapable of living
without him, she follows him to the
grave. .-HoIldnd House, By FrfDcsss

Baxa,ns since his sentence.

From a Letter to Nav York Herald.l
Since his sentence Bazaine has ceased
to be a Field Marshal. he is plain
Francois Achille Bazaine, wears civilian
clothes without decoration and has an
officer constantly beside him. The agi-
tation he betrayed on first hearing his
sentence cooled down in the course ct a
few hours and be began to talk of his
wife and children, who will be ruined by
the heavy costs of the trial, which the
prisoner has been condemned to bear.
1t is a heavy calamity which has over
taken this family, for even if Bazalne 5
life be spared he can never hope that the
sentence Of the court-martial viii be
quashed. He VsR not tried in the
moment Of political ferment when
party animosities were raging
against him, but calmly and quietly,
after a long delay, and the YER
dict is therefore Gnal. His son and
daughter must be marked to all time as
the children of a felon and g traitor, q"
for such are the terms which are used in
the indictment, and they will not have
the consolation which attends the chill
dreh OF lesser criLlinals-namely, that
Of trusting that their fathers name may
be forgotten. Bazaine's name Gan new
er pass out of the Fienchmen's minds.
Justly or unjustly. it viii be stamped on
the pages Of history as that of a man
who preferred his own welfare to his
country's honor, and children now un-
born will be taught to pronounce it with
loathing. These are ohenses which carry
with them terrible expatiation.s

Apostles OF CaIneIs.

Here is the style in which Mark Twain
can discourse on the appetites of cam
els: In Syria once, at the head waters
of the Jordan, camel took charge of
my overcoat while the tents we're being
pitched, and examined it with critical
eye, all over, with as much interest as
if he had an idea of getting one made
like it; and then, after he was done fig
uring on it as an article of apparel, he
began to contemplate it as an article of
diet. He put his foot on it, and lifted
one of the sleeves out with his teeth,
and chewed on it, gradually taking it
in, and all the while opening and closing
his eyes in kind of religious ecstacy,
as if he had never tasted anything as
good as an oyercoat before in his life.
Then he smacked his lips once or twice,
and reached after the other sleeve. Next
he tried the velvet collar, and smiled
smile Of such contentment that it was
plain to see that he regarded that as the
daintiest thing about an overcoat The
tails went next, along with some
percussion caps and cough candy, and
some fig paste from Constantinople.
And then my newspaper correspondence
dropped out, and he took chance in
that-manuscript letters written for
home papers. But he was treading on
dangerous ground now. He began to
come across solid wisdom in those docu-
ments that was rather weighty on his
stomach; and occasionally he would
take joke that would shake him
up till it Ioosened his teeth. 1t was
getting to be perilous times with
him. but he held his grip with good
courage and hopefully, till at last he
began to stumble on statements that not
even a camel could swallow with i'm
punity. He began to gag and gasp, and
his eyes to stand out, and his fore legs
to spread, and in about quarter of
minute he fell over as stiff as a carpen-
ter's workbench, and died death of in
describable agony. went and pulled
the manuscript out of his mouth, and
found that the sensitive creature had
choked to death on one Of the mildest
and gentlest statements of fact that
had ever laid before a trusting public"

exoroitant taxes levied Hereunder to be the
source Of all the political and financial troubles In
the State. lie said that the record OF the republ-
can party had been one OF oppression and corrup-
tion. and that its leaders In this State had been
spared Just punishment through the unexampled
iorDearance OF the people. He presented a bid
from European capitalists to fund the debt OF the
State aI thirty per cent, and recommended It's
adoption. He also recommended further appro-
pratOn OF 900 to pay the expenses OF the
Br0oks-BaXler war and the employment OF at
torneys AT Washington TO prosecute claims OF the
State against the general government on account
