The marriage Of the Hon. Mrs. Nor
ton, which was announced by cable
the other day, though not unexpected,
Is one of the most extraordinary social
events of the day. Tho fair bride must
have nearly, if not quite, reached the
age Of three score years and ten, and
the cable dispatch informs ds that she
is aft cted with chronic rheumatism,
which confines her to her chair. The
bridegroom, Sir William Stirling Max
well-yho is better known to the
world By his fathers mama of Stirling,
having assumed the name of Maxwell,
with the baronetcy, since The
Cloister Life of Charles V" made his
literary reputatioD-is himself no
chicken; but he is ten years
younger than his bride, who was a
noted woman of society while he was
at school, and that is long while ago.
The SheridaRs have beer o brilliant
family through many generations, and
Richard Brinsley himself was scarcely
more famous than were his son Thomas
Sherldan's three beautiful daughters,
celebrated in the albums of the day as
.iTho Three Graces." One of them be-
came the Duchess of Somerset, the
second Lady Dufferin. the author of
''The Irish Emigrant's Lament" and
the mother of the present Governor
General of Canada, and the third, Caro-
lima Elizabeth Sarah, who published
poems at the age OF twelve, was mar
ried at nineteen TO the Hon. George
Chapple Norton, Recorder of Guilford,
the younger brother of Lord Grantley.
They were separated after eight or nine
years, and tho scandal about them
lasted Tor long time, though what
ever of it rightly attached to Mr.. Nor
ton appears to have been long since
lived down. Norton died a couple of
years ago, and it is to be hoped that
his widows second matrimonial expert
ment, though long deferred, may prove
happier one. It is a little difficult
for those OF US who have heard our
grandmothers sing ''Bingen on the
Rhine" long years ago, to think of the
author of that ancient song putting on
orange blossoms at this late day.
