HE has teen tried and not found
wanting" said an orator, who was
extolling the good qualities of a
candidate for office.
The orator must have referred
10 the condition of the candidate
after he had been in Office for some
time, for very few politicians have
been tried with the peoples money
and found wanting.

ObeYInR Orders.

That ancient gentleman, Lord
William Lennox, has been writing
about the celebrities whom he has
known during his long life, and in
the course Of his "reminiscences tells
this story of the Duke of Yelling
ton; "The late Lord Derby, when
having one Of his country mansions
decorated, was having the central
floor either painted or tesselated. A
young man was at work ON one of
the walls, when the earl ordered a
number of slippers to be thrown on
the door-mat, desiring this young
man to order any one that came in
to put on a pair before crossing the
passage, and adding to the order,
'if one fails to attend it, you must
take him by the shoulder and turn
him out Soon after a party re-
turned from hunting, and the
duke, with his splashed boots
opened the door and rushed along
the hall. The young mar
Immediately jumped off the ladder
on which he was painting, and
seizing his grace by the shoulder
fairly pushed him out of the house
In the course of the afternoon LORD
Derby summoned all the household
and men at work into the study
and seating himself beside the grea
warrior, demanded who had haC
the impertinence to push the duke
out Of doors. The painter, all o
a tremble, came forward and said
1t was /, my lord 'And pray
rejoined the earl, how came YOU t,
do it?' by your orders, my lord
On this his grace turned round
Lord Derby, and, smiling, drew
sovereign out of his purse, whic
he gave to the workman, adding
you were right to obey orders

Among the many anecdotes re-
lated Of Curran, we cannot help
the following, bearing
upon the impertinence and assump-
ton of Judge Robinson, as among
the most telling and characteristic
attacks of unprecedented satire
upon "bloated empire" and "puffed
pretence," that ever even Ourran
afforded to the world. This same
Judge Robinson, according to Lord
Brougham, "was the author of
many stupid, slavish, and scurrilous
political pamphlets; and, by his
demerits, raised to the eminence
which he thus disgraced." Curran,
very soon after being called to the
bar, on some statement made by
Judge Robinson (before whom he
was pleading), observed that "he
had never met the law, as laid
down by his lordship, in any book
in his library" "That may be, sir"
said the judge; "but | suspect that
your library is very small" Curran
replied, Il find it more instructive,
my lord, to study good works than
to compose bad ones. My books
may be few, but the title-pages give
me the writer's names, and my shelf
is not disgraced by any such rank
absurdities that their very authors
are ashamed to own them" "Sir,
said the Judge, "you are forgetting
the respect which you owe to the
dignity Of the judicial character
Dignity" exclaimed Mr.. Curran'
"my lord, upon that point l shall
cite you a case from a book of somt
authority, with which you are per.
haps not unacquamted." HC
then briefly recited the story
of Strap in Frederick Ran
dom," who, having stripped
off his coat to fight, entrusted
it to a bystander. When the battl,
was over, and he was well beaten
he turned to resume it, but th,
man had carried it off. Mr.. Cur
ran thus applied the tale: $50, m
lord, when the person entruster
with the dignity Of the judgment
seat lays it aside for a moment t
enter into disgraceful persona
contest, it is in vain, when he ha
been worsted in the encounter, tina

Of vltrol into his face, and |
then ran to the gate. He heard it I
shut, and in moment more Eu-
genie came running to him to give
him succor. She called for help,
had him carried to he roems, and,
with every symtom of strong affec-
ton, declared that no one but her.
self should nurse him.
NJ. De la Roche was in a piteouS
state. His eyes were both closed,
and he will probably lose his sight
forever. His tongue was SO swol-
len that nothing could pass his
mouth, and for some hours the
doctors despaired Of saving his life.
At first NJ. De la Roche was much
affected by the interest taken in
him by Eugene, and thought that
he was the victim of one Of her
Jealous lovers, but a terrible doubt
crossed his mind when Eugene
began to talk to him about making
q will. In a day or two he got bet
ter, and able to reason. He asked
himself why Eugene had remained
at the gate, and remembered that
she held the gate open for the indi-
vidual to pass out. If she had
shut the gate, his escape would
have been cut off. Was it posi-
bic that she was an accomplice in
SO dreadful a crime? The police
took hold of the case, and began to
work it up with great skill. In a
few days time they had the whole
story.
When Eugenie Delacour was girl
living with her parents in poverty,
as the children of servants do, she
was acquainted with a laboring man
named Gaudry, a young fellow EN-
ployed in a foundry. Intimate re-
lations succeeded their acquaint
ance. When about twenty Eugene
got minor position in one of the
small theaters, and while there met
a man named Gras, who married
her. Gaudry attended the wedding,
and met Madame Gras from time
to time, but when she became q
grand dame in her way she threw
over the foundryman. Gras died
and the widow came out as Eugene
Delacour, and set up in the demi
monde. For number of years sht
had a great success. But age crep
upon her, and Eugene foresaw th,
moment when she could no longe
sell her charms, and locked abou
for some way Of settling herself
The plan she hit upon was to throw
, vitriol into the eyes of some ricl
man to make him blind, t.
/, nurse him and make hin
leave her his property. If sh
had him alone in her own room
this would be an easy task. Sh
? looked about her and hit upon poo
Ernest de la Roche, rich proprie
tor in Tourraine, only twenty-nin
years old. Gaudry, her old lover
was used as an instrument, Engeni
promising to marry him if the vic
q tim died after leayieg her his fol
tune. This diabolical plan wa
a carried out as related above. Eu
genie and Gaudry are both i

High nociety Nonsense.

There has been a great deal of
quiet fun in diplomatic circles in
Washington during the last three
or four days over the absurdities of
that eminent ex-candidate for a
senatorship in Florida, Mr.. Sanford,
who is now bringing his batteries
de cuisine to bear upon the state
department for a foreign appoint
ment. Mr.. Sanford gave an enter
tainment on Saturday night AZ
which, among other people, Mr..
Evarts and many Of the foreign
representatives were present. A
delicate blue ribbon was drawn
across the room to separate the
sheep of the diplomatic flock from
the goats of the general public.
The accomplished wife of the Aus
trian envoy, understanding nothing
of this sort of nonsense, and find
ing herself annoyed by the ribbon,
calmly united and dropped it. two
or three times, only to have it as
often replaced, until she was finally
thrown into convulsions Of sup
pressed laughter by an attache, who
explained that it was intended to
show respect for the eminent ccrps
of which she is so charming q
member. A sarcastic secretary OBJ
served that he should have thought
"red tape" a more appropriate line
of demarcation.
