Gossip About some Aristocrats

Cor. New York Times.
DUBLIN, TUESDAY, January 30,
1S77.-Since l wrote last we have
had a new viceroy. The duke of
Abercorn has gone away and the
Duke Of Marlborough reigns in his
stead. There is not much to choose
between them. The Duke of Aber-
corn was courtly and dignifed, and
the Duke Of Marlborough is serious
and slow. A good deal of gossip
has been aroused by the Duke Of
Abercorn's departure, and a thous-
and reasons have been assigned for
the step, but the gosSipers admit
that no adequate reason has been
adduced, and SO the mystery re-
mains. The facts of the case are
plain enough. His grace is poor
man; he has eleven sons and daugh-
ters and forty-one grandchildren.
All his daughters are married, save
one, Lady Georgina Hamilton,
whose loneliness is accounted for by
au early disappointment, which has
never been shaken of. phree OF
the sons are in the house Of COM
mons, one of them being under
secretary of State for India. These
sons cost a good deal of money,
and the parental estates are neither
free nor large. The duke himself is
a very young man, although he has
seen sixty-six years, and he carries
his fancies and follies Of youth with
light hand and an easy mind.
The estate in Ireland is pretty
largely incumbered, and the yacht
and the town-house in London and
the festivities of the season run
through the $4,000 a year and
leave nothing for creditors. AS has
been freely remarked here, most Of
the children came into the world
owing money, and are likely to leave
it in the same condition. Well a
man whose family is in this predic-
ament can hardly afford to throw
away e2l,0O0 a year-thc sal
AIRY attaching to the office Of Lord
Lieutenant Of Ireland. Beside hav-
ing this direct income, he escapes
all the extravaganza ofithe London
season /; so that the residence in
Ireland was doably advantageous.
He had been the vice formerly, and
had made himself SO popular that
life in Dublin, with it's semi-regal
state, seemed to be very attractive.
His daughters had made the best
marriages in this generation f; for,
although their poverty was we'll
known, one Of them married a
Marquis, one Of them the heir to a
Dnkedom, and four Of them mai
ried Earls. For girls with nothing
but good looks and pretty graces,
this was not bad. ] am sorry to
tell YOU, but the lady who married
the heir to the dukedsm is decidedly
unhappy. The heir is great scamp
and an absentee husband, ! hardly
know how to convey to you the eK-
act line of conduct he has hitherto
pursued, but ! may signify it. He
effects reconciliation, behaves
himself for week, and then flies
off. In the course Of that yeaR the
lady has a baby, and, after a time,
the same system is repeated. In
this way tbs Marchioness of Bland
| ford has had three Children.

DR.. Henry Finkenstein, of Brook
lyn, was tried before Justice Ferry
of that city on the charge of having
beaten his mother-in.law. He con-
fesSed the beating, but pleaded JUS
tifcation, and the plea was admitted
and he was let off with a fine of
five dollars. 1t is something to get
a decision that a man may be justi-
fed in beating his mother-in-law,
but an anxious world is waiting to
know the justification. In the alb
sence Of information we can only
conclude that Finkenstein was a
truly pious man, and that he pleaded
Justification by faith.

years, and yet had never really dis
paired of returning them TO their own
err. ~
About that time it occurred to me
that trip to Louisiana would be We
ry beneficial to my health and so, in
the year 1868, I found myself once
more in New Orleans. My first step
was to insert a personal in all the
daily papers, addressed to Miss Ce-
cile Tremaine, and requesting her pres
ent address. But 1 received no re.
sponse. Day after day passed by, and
| was rapidly losing hope, when it
chanced one morning that / strolled
into the printing Office of a friend, and
stood watching The nimble fingers of
the dmpositors, among whom were
severa ladies.
At kngth / heard the foreman ad.
dress one of the employees as "Miss
Temaine." With wildly-throbbing
heart cast furtive glance in her d.
recliOn. Great heavens it was she /
was sure of it. asa r. atl
In a few m,ments ! had acquainted
my friend with the facts, and my -be-
lief that this was the young lady of
whom was in inquest. He told me
then of her poverty and that from
one Of the first and wealthiest families
Of New Orleans she was reduced to
earn her bread. He said that. there
was no doubt that | was ON tho right
track, as she had already told him OF
the loss of her pearls. On xhe night
that l had rescued her, she had been
OH her way to dispose of them for her
father lay dying, and she had no means
with which to furnish him food and
medicine. ,,tf..
He was dead now, and she, poor
girl, was all alone in the world.
1 viii pass over my introduction,
and the astonishment with which she
listened to my story. Time had soft
ened her asperity toward the "Yan-
KEGS" and, as months few by, she
seemed to have quite forgotten all past
animosities, so that, when at last l ask
ed her to become my wife, / was pre-.
pared to hear her answer Yes" and
was not disappointed 80
And on the day that she became my
bride, amid the lace Of her snowy veil,
and crowning her heavy waves of raw
en- hair, like drops of ice, were the Jew
els which had cherished, and defend
ed with my life, for all those dreadful
years-my Cecile's Pearls.

are words Of kindness, of persuasion,
He takes men by the hand, and in
that manner which bespeaks the sensis
tive nature, he without saying TOO
much, lets them know be fully under
stands their feelings and condition,
and gradually leads them to sign the
pledge and take the first step which is
to result in others which will place
them iE their proper sphere in society
as men entitled to respect and sympa-
thy. He believes iD awakening the
desire for reformation which does i'm
deed dwell in every breast, or as anoth-
er states it Faith in mans ultimate
integrity, in the Divine spark of i'm
mortality that burns in the soul, no
matter how dimly; hope that the
breath of sympathy may reach and
enliven this sacred FIRE, and brotherly
love TO stretch out the hands and save
the fallen and the perishing. These
ecem to be the elements---the faith, the
hope, the charity that inspire this
movement.
There is also the element Of person
ality, the one man mower, which gives
character and unity of purpose to
popular enthusiasm, and this Mr., Mur.
ply possesses in a remarkable degree.
He has the gift of oratory, the mag
netic presence, the convincing sinceri-
ty of manner, and, what is of not less
importance, the physical capacity for
tremendous hard work that might bo
predicated of him from an acquaint-
ance of his career.
And, furthermore, he seems to pos,
sess a faculty for organization which
perpetuates the impression he makes
by personal appeal, and leaves a COM
petent society, thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of the work, to continue the
mission in every locality which he Yis-
its.
Such, in brief, is the natural philos-
ophy of the Murphy movement. Prac-
tically, it incuIcates the literal accept
ance of the Christian belief in human
brotherhood, and its method is to
reach out the hand of fraternity to the
broken down drunkard and lift him
again to the standing Of upright man
hood.
No matter how degraded, how sunk.
en- in the depths of despair the victim
may be, the apostle of temperance
says Brother, give me your hand.
I'll save you yet" Trusting literally
to the Biblical assertion that the King
dom of Heaven is within, and, conse-
quently, can not be utterly destroyed,
this appeal is urged, and, where suc-
eessfally made, never fails to work ev-
en- seeming miraculous salvation.

The Temperance Cyclone.

-- Ff
The Philadelphia Express, in a com
plimeptary notice of Francis Murphy's
labor, says: es
Mr.. Marphy will probably close his
meetings in this city for the present
about June 1st. II was his first in
tention to carry on the work until
the city was redeemed" as he once ex-
pressed it, but for certain reasons it
has been thought best not to continue
the exercises through the summer.
AS We look over our exchange news
papers, and notice the many Temper
ance Murphy meetings held in differ
ent cities and towns, and read of the
thousands of converts made, we can
not but say, that surely the hand of
God is in this movement"
Saved himself from a drunkard' s
fate, the tale of his own redemption
never fails Of weakening the warmest
sympathies Of mans nature, and en-
couraging others to make the effort
which will finally bring the same hap.

Strengthened circumstances, not even
having food to eat. We can portray
the agony of his soul as he paced his
lonely cell, and thought that ere his
release came, death might take them
from him. His earnest prayers to God
were at last answered. Murphy found
friend in the person Of Capt. Sturte-
want, of Portland, Me-, the same who
now speaks from the platform upon
the subject of temperance. Through
the latteris influence he was released.
AS he clasped his wife to his bosom,
well did she know as he said "God
hel ping me, wife, will never touch
drop of liquor, and never sell anoth-
er DROP" that that vow would be sa-
credly kept. Soon his little home was
made comfortable, and in the fnlness
of his heart at the great good which a
Temperance life had accomplished fer
him, he said "I must tell others. ]
must save my fellow man. Imust tell
him to forever put away from him the

Why Nye Refused the Arabian Horse

The following anecdote of the late
Senator Nye is told by the Virginia
City (Ney,) Enterprise
"He. was telling US incidents of
journey to Europe, from which he had
then just returned. Among the rest
he said the Sultan Of Turkey ordered
in his honor, as a Senator Of the Unit
ed States, a grand review of the army
in Constantinople, and the Grand vi
zier mounted him upon steed which
he described as magnificent. Said Nye,
"he was a pure Arabian. He had a
coat like velvet he felt like myriad
of steel springs beneath man his eye
was between a.lion's and woman's,
with all the courage of the one and all
the human gentleness and beauty of
the other blended ; he knew was an
old man, and was as tender of ms as q
child. When | dismounted l could
not refrain from expressing to the
GraAd Vizier my admiration for the
incompatible creature. He heard me
through an interpreter, and then, bow
ing low, begged me to accept the horse
as a mark of the profound regard
which the Sultan entertained for me.
did you accept him, Senator ? wo
asked. A peculiar look came into the
old mans eyes as he replied: | made
rapid calculation and saw that ha9ii
not enough of money, and could sci a''
to no place for enough money, to pay
the freight on the animal to New
York, so took high ground. I bow
ed low in return to the Grand Vizier,
and bade the interpreter explain to
him that while touched to the heart
by this appreciation and generosity Of
the Sultan, it was, was sorry to say,
against the laws Of my country for
Senator of the United States to accept
present from any foreign Prince, po-
tentate or Power"
