A Noble Bankrapt.

In January, 1872, there came
before the London Bankruptcy
Court the affairs of Lord Courte-
nav, then thirty six, eldest son Of
the Earl of Devon, who had con-
triyed to make debts to the amount
of 1888, 305. This enormous
Indebtedness was chiefly the result
of racing, although reckless extrav-
agance Of all kinds had a share in
it. His father, a man of exempla-
nv character and distinguished
abilities, who held high Office under
the late Lord Derby, had succeeded
to a very large but heavily encum-
bered estate, which by dint of ex-
traordinaay aud long-continued
svlf-denial, he had in a great meas
ure cleared, merely, as events
proved, for his son to quintuple
the charges on it. Fortune, how
ever, whose fckleness has for all
time been %proyerbial, has lately
taken a freak in favor Of this prod.
igal such as she seldom favors thc
best Of us with. Some time ago {
wealthy Jewess, who had joined
the Church of Rome, conceived
deep interest in the religious o.
rather irreligious condition. of thi
noble bankrupt, and applied her
self to the task of bringing hin
over to the faith which she ha,
herself espoused. But while thi
PROSECUTING process was in progress
} the lady died, and it was the.
found that she had bequeathed t
her intended convert a fortune
+ some $3.50, 900.
