NELLIE Is NOBODY IN ENGLAND. =
The following is taken from a Lon
don letter to the New York Graphic:
| hope that no exDectations were en-
tertained in the United States con-
corning honors to be paid to the
Presidents daughter on her arrival
here as Mrs. Sartoris. The papers
recorded the fact Of her marriage in
paragraph of five or six lines, but
no mention has been made of her ar
rival with her husband in England.
In fact the opinion seems to be that
the young lady made a mesalliance
and has placed herself at great dis
advantage. As Miss Grant, the
daughter of the American President,
she was welcomed here by the swells
and received by the Queen; but as
Mrs. Sartoris, the wife of an English
civil engineer, she is nobody. |
scarcely know whether she can be
presented at court. 1t is to be hoped
that she will not be made unhappy
by the change which her marriage
has wrought in her position.
THERE was one disappointed man
in Milwaukee last week, one man
who was utterly crushed. 1t was
Hoard, editor of a cheese factory at
Fort Atkinson. Hoard has attained
the distinction of having the longest,
crOOkedest, italicest nose Of any man
IN the state. Hoard has been proud
of his nose, and he went to Milwau-
kee feeling as Jolly as usual, and to
see him shake hands with his friends
at arms length, to keep his nose
off the hinges, no person would mis-
trust that he was destined to expert
ence trouble. Hoard was happy un-
til Wednesday morning, when a par
ty of editors were sitting around him,
to one of his stories. Others
crowded around and Hoard was in
his happiest mood, when suddenly
his cheek blanched and he seemed
faint. lie soon recovered and point
ed his finger at man standing near,
and gasped, 'That nose holds over
me-" All eyes were turned towards
the stranger. 1t was sight to make
the stoutest heart quail, on toast
The man had a nose, too, or to speak
more properly the nose had man
with it. The nose proper began at
the eyebrow, but by forced marches
arrived at the left vest
pocket where it went into camp and
threw out tlankers around the ada
cent country. And yet, the man
seemed happy, what there was Of
him. He proved to be a delegate to
the Episcopal convention, and man
who lives neighbor to him in Beloit
says he is one !of the best men that
ever lived. But you ought to have
seen Hoard when the shadow Of that
nose first fell upon him.-Lo X Sun.
