and of that drab or pale-ale vissage peculiar
to those who think "the best of all ways to

mother, with lynx eye, looks at, on and ovcr
the pair, while Lord Lonsdale is on the
Northumbria, off the coast of Algeria,
where rumor says he has made some we'll
known efforts not to lengthen his days or
nights either. When Yorkshire baronet
of % years and worldly ways becomes skel-
eton in the cupboard of any mansion, you
may be sure the furniture, pictures, bric-a-
brac, and even the personal gems of lustrous
brilliancy become very soon under the sway
of the auctioneer's hammer. And thus it
has come to pass, in a period of little more
than eight months of honeymoon" that

LADY LoNDsDALE's LOVER.

A BIZ OF Scandal ia London High Life.
correspondence Baltimore SUM- i ~
The o'clock tea parties are very much
agitated over the sale of Lord Lonsdale's
great collection. The earl and peer of the
realm, the head of the house of Lowther, set
high society into spasms last year by creating
the matrimonial talk of the season. He then
married that tall, nearly six-foot high, and
dark, Jewess type beauty, Lady Gladys Her
bert. In her Immediate circle she is known
by the pet name of "la Gitana,1 or gypsy.
She is the daughter of the we'll known and
esteemed Sydney Herbert, of Crimean fame
and sister of the earl of Pembroke. Some
years ago Lady Herbert, the mother
of fla Gitana," and another daugh-
ter, Joined the Catholic church. The
tall and handsome Gitana did not fol-
low their example, but dashed into the gay
world of dance, song and craftsmanship, and
met Lord Lonsdale, who is her senior by
eight years-she being % years of age.
Both loved the world too well. and not wise
ly, before and after marriage. The fash
ionable bali rooms of London, Paris and
Vienna, the race courses of Europe, the
yachting and hunting excursions of the
night and day, the season and sunshine of
leaders at least the chief features. The art
world was ransackeo for Lady Lonsdale, and
an income of $500, 900 per snnum brought
to her mansion many a costly gem of the
painter and jeweler. Her diamond bill in
seven months was q ,O00, 900, and her up
holstery and hric-a-brsc invoices were double
that sum. To this menu the noble earl
added sundry and divers items, such as
twenty-five blooded race horses, various I'M
proYements on the three country estates, and
10 the devourer of all fortunes large
steam yacht, the Northumbria.
There are some people so very peculiarly
either mentally or morally, that
neither an immense financial revenue, a
quarter of dozen Of country estates, a mag
nifcent town mansion, and the luxuries of
art, science and pleasure combined, nor in
deed, that ominus and varied circle called
the fashionable world can make ~ the
sum of happiness. The beautiful Lady
Lonsdale and the dashing, handsome earl,
the head of the house of Lowther, were not
happy. There was a skeleton in the costly
mansions cupboard, and only allude to
this case as q type of many Others, and as
truly portraying the life Of the
most modern British aristocrscy.

had knocked every body down two or

out of the barn. On the contrary, his
hat was slanted. he had a fresh five cent
cigar in his teeth, aud he mildly said to
one of the barn-boys:
