lished memoirs, but we do not know that
the following anecdote has ever been
pablished, though IL Is well authenticated
IL occurred some few years before his
death, at his late residence, which over
looks Hyde Park, London. Like nearly
all public man in England, the duke was
liable to be inlruded upon at any time OF
the day or evening, and It was found alb
solutely necessary to place sentries at his
door, as well as to keep number of do
nestle servants always on duty. But
even these precautions were sometimes
insufficient TO prevent the old soldier be-
ing intruded npon.
One day as he sat writing at his library
table, quite alone, bis door was suddenly
opened without knock or announce
ment of any kind, and in stalked rough
ill-omened figure, who stood before the
commander-inch with his hat on, and
a savage expression of countenance. The
duke was, of course, little annoyed al
such an unceremonions interruption, and
look ng up, asked in brusque way:

The visitor looked hard during a mo

Call again, continued the duke, o

The duke went on with his correspon
