Some years ago, there came from Germany 10
the Garden City of the West" young and
handsome fellow Of good education, the Baron
Won Daren, who, as his name shows, was Of
NOZZLE family. His season Of wild oats"
sowing was so diligently improved that he
began to reap the bitter harvest at an early
age and at wenty-four, having spent three for
tunes, he found himself so heavily in-debt
that he was obliged to leave der vaterlsnd, and
seek fame and lucre elsewhere. So to America,
that paradise Of prodigals, his thoughts nat
urally turned. He came, he saw-but In
stead of couqucring, he well-nigh starved.
He could not speak English. though educated
in several other languages. Having been
brought up in the LAP of luxury"-which has
disagrecable habit of now and then dropping
its pets on the foor-he did not know how to
dig, and to beg he was ashamed; so it WIS
only when the fox of hunger gnawed despcr-
atoly under his German surtout. that he
thankfully accepted the position of

MR.. LORD ON THE LORD CASE.

Men whom the courts will adjudge to be OF
unsound mind are, nevertheless, capable OF hir-
ing good lawyers and being pronounced sane
by distinguished physicians, and the Lord case
cannot, therefore, be at once decided I'D
favor of the head of that family, because
with such professional assistance he has sue
ceeded in producing a legal sensation. But
his statement, given elsewhere in full, is an
extraordinary story, and lets tho public into
some of the secrets of this curious affair.
The colored guardian of Mrs. Hlcks-Lords
front door, who has been expecting
the married pair back to town every
day for month, will be astonlshed to
learn that they have been in the house
all that time. The gossiping world on D0th
sides of the Atlantic will be surprised to hear
Mr.. Lord say that he became engaged to
marry Mrs Hicks several years ago; indeed,
if rlmOr ever tells the truth, ut least one
member of the British aristOcracy will open
his eyes at this. Dutiful sons may learn how
to secure happiness to the declining years OF
their parents Mr.. Charles Lord, one OF the sons,
proposed in letters which he admits to be his, to
brighten his "dear, good, kind old" fathers
existence by killing, first, Mrs. Hicks, then his
own children" Mr. Lords only grandchildren"
as he adds IN n pathetic parcnthesis-and
then himself This was before the wedding;
after that festive and furtivc occasion he In
forms his new stepmother that she is " the
"most astounding thief the world ever pro-
"duced," and piously thanks God that her " IN
"famous career is ended at last" Altogether,
it seems to have been an odd sort OF honey
moon. with letters of this description wclcOm-
ing the bride into the family, and lunacy
proceedings taken against the bridegroom. IL
is not wonderful that both preferred to stay
indoors.
However the question is not whether there
are other lunatics in the Lord family than the
oldest member, but as to his mental sound
ness alone. On this point, much IL SAID on
both sides Mr. Lord declares that he has lived
in this city for sixty years and has always man
opcd hi, estates, without ever being charged
before with being an imbecilc. TO show his pres
ent condition, he submits papers by DIS. Austin
Flint and Fordyce Barker arguing strongly
for his sanity, and states a circumstance,
which some will consider significant-that his
children, on his wedding-day, tried to induce
him to sign a will which was not satisfactory
To him. and therefore was not signed. On the
other hand, member of the family already
have something to say, and will, no doubt,
have more. It's strange quarrel, and one

Mr.. Baird thinks we ought now to act in

America Is such great country that it ought
to have not only currency OF ITS own,

it dishonest to repudiate debt; but II the

rILE 1prnRIIONMENT.

In a recent article on the rcapportionmcnt
of the Legislative districts. we showed that an
equitable adjustment of the rights OF the few
counties whose interests are to be affected,
would give TO Ncw-Yori, one and Kings two
additional members OF Assembly. The
Constitution makes the State census the basis
Of representation, but it has been claimed that
thc last census was defective as to the alien
population of New-Yoik and Brooklyn, thus in
clcasing far beyond the proper limit the APP
parent representative population OF these two
cities.
The statistics of the popular election of
1876 seem to afford confirmation, both of the
fairness Of the appOrlonmcnt above indicated
aad the inc0rrcctnc5s of the census.
II will he remembered that the vote at
the election Of 1876 was the largest ever cast
in the State, and beyond question 1t affords
an excellent guide as to the comparative
populaiiom Of the several counties. The entire
vote of the State for Governor was l,00J,2O0.
If we divide this number by lbs, the whole
number of Assembly districts, it gives 1850
a, the average number OF voters for each dis
t,ict This average applied to the vote Of
Ncw-York, l1O,200, would give 2l members (;
and to Kiugs for her 9G,l00 voters II mem
bcrs. BY this test 1t appears that New York
already has her full representation, and that
King, is nominally entitled to three additional
members.
When we come to apply the same test to
the counties from which the increased repre-
sentation from the cities must come, ii will be
seen that the case is still stronger. AS an
illustration, taking the nine rural counties
having the least population for their present
rcpr, sentation, we find the total vote for
Covnrr,ur i'm 1876 Was:
