ASUDDEN RISE IN LIFE.

N. Y. World Letter.

LONDON, May 24.-Our law courts here
have recently brought to night romar.
tic story, somewhat like that of the An
resley peerage case-which Charles
Reade seized upon IN his story Of the
Wandering Heir though in the case
the heir is an heiress. Some years ago
Mr.. Gardner, u well-to-do farmer at
Melrose IN Scotland, married young
lady of the eighborhood, and in very
tew weeks after the marriage his wife
presented him with daughter. Mr..
Gsrdner was an elder of his Pres5ytery,
and being well aware that fierce light
beats up-n that office, and beng anxious
to save his reputation and his wl!es lie
hired discreet nurse to take charge OF
the child. The scandal was thus avert
ed, and wears went 10y without the girl
herself or Al yone discovering the secre..
Meanwhile the daughter, Margaret
G ,rdner, had become mil hand In
factory and at the age of twenty one dis
covered by some means the story OF her
birth and patror sge. She at once
sought out her parents and demAnd
recoynition, but Mr.. Gardner disputed
her legitimacy, declaring that her father
was shepherd named Laldlaw, aud that
he (Gsrdner) had married her mother,
whom he loved to save her reputation.
The girl however. like immortal Harry
VIII, thought this ''too thin and bare
to hide otfenses," and declining an offer
of n thousand pounds to hold her tongue,
brought an action in the Scotch courts
To compel her recognition as legitimate
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner. The
case WAS decided against her by the
Judge Ordinary, whereupon she ap'
pealed to the full Court of Session, who
gave iudgen ent in her favor. Against
this her parents appesled, and the case
found its way to the House of Lords.
THIS court of ultimate appeal decided
ss the lower court had done-in her
favor holding that when child Is born
after IN 4rriage the presumption OF the
laysl maxim. "Pater est Qncn, nu0tiG dc
,noHstraHt" is prima tacie so strong that
the onus OF dIsproot rests with those VINO
deny 1t. The romantic generosity
claimed by the father in marrying MS
wife to save her reputation did not quite
iump with the offer OF 81 900 after the
wltes reputation had been lrreparaoiy
damaged, and looked, SO their lordshlpS
tbought. more like desire TO screen
himself. At auy rate the fact remained
that the Court acknowledge d the legiti-
macy o, the girl, and she becomes the
natural heIress of her fathers wealth.

WASHINGTON, June l0.-One of the
buildings at the late international exhl
btion 1T Philadelphia, erected by the
United States government, having been
torn down on Friday last, without
authority from the government, will
probably lead to difficulty with the
Finance Board of the exhibition, as 1t is
charged that the building was destroyed
bv the order of that board. The matter
has been placed IN the hands OF the At
torney- General with the request that he
will proceed against the board to recover
damages and also TO have the offenders
punished.
The completion of the new building
for the State, War and Navy Depart
ments will result in the annual saving TO
the government of nearly 100000 now
paid for the rent Of the building occupied
bv the various buresus OF the War
Department.
