The True Story Of " Robin Adair. {"

The hero of Robin Adair" was well
known In the London fashionable circles
of the last century by the sobriquet Of
the " Fortunate Irishman;" but bis pa.
rentage and the exact place of his birth
are unknown. He was brought up as a
surgeon, but "his detection In an early
amour drove him precipitately from
Dublin, to push his fortunes In Eng
land. Scarcely had he crossed the Chan.
mel when the chain of lucky events that
ultimately led him to fame and fortune
commenced. Near Holyhead, perceiv-
ing carriage overturned, he ran to rem.
der assistance. The sole occupant of the
vehicle was "lady of fashion, we'll known
10 polite circles" who peceived Adair's
attentions with thanks, and, being light.
ly hurt, and hearing that he was q sur.
geon, requested him to travel with her
In her carriage to London. On their ar.
rival In the metropolis she presented
him with fec Of 100 guineas, and gave
him general invitation to her house.
In after life Adair used to say that 1t
was not 80 much the amount of this fee,
but the time 1t was given, that was the
service to him, as he was then almost
destitute. But the invitation to her
house was still greater service, for there
he met the person who decided his fate
in life. This was Lady Caroline Keppel.
daughter of the second Earl of Albemarle
and of Lady Anne Lennox, daughter
of the first Duke of Richmond. For
getting her high lineage, Lady Caroline,
at the first sight of the Irish surgeon,
fell desperately In love with him, and
her emotions were 10 sudden aud 50 vlo-
lent as to attract the general attention
Of the company. Adair, seeing his adj
vantage, lost no time In pursuing 1t;
while the Albemarle and Richmond fam.
lilies were dismayed at the prospect Of
such terrible mesdlLidnoe. Every
means were tried to induce the young
lady to alter her mind, but without e.
feet. Adair's biographer tells us that
"amusements, long journey, an ad.
vantageous oder, and other common
modes Of shaking of what was consider.
ed by the family as an improper match,
were alreadyt I'D, butin vain. 1hs health

Few people dream of the many vlr
tues of onions, and those few are on,

Colds yield 10 them like magic.
Don't be afraid Of them-especially II
you are married. Taken at night all
offense will be wanting by morning, and
the good effects will amply compensate
for the trihing annoyance. Taken regu.
larly they greatly promote health of the
lungs and digestive organs. An extract
made by boiling down the juice of onions
to q syrup, and taken as a medicine,
answers the purpose very well, but fried,
roasted or boiled onions are better. On.
Ions are q very cheap medicine, within
everybody's reach, and they are not by
any means as "bad TO take" as the cost
y nostrums neglect of their use will
necessitate,-PhiL,R RECORD.

An UnIuckY Cook.

A singular instance Of bad luck has
occurred In connection with the recent
drawing of Credit Foncier bonds. The
grand prize of 10000 francs fell to the
obligation numbered 1854 which, 1t
turned out, had been sold, with two
Others, by q commission agent to q
friends cook. On learning the prosperi-
ty which had befallen the purchaser, he
Immediately proceeded to acqusint her
with It. She naturally enough lost no
time In imparting the news " her mas.
ter, who fellcitated her, but as he wished
to make certain that his servant was In
deed the fortunate possessor OF the win.
ming number, he asked to see the three
bonds she had bought, and found that
she had disposed OF ono of them to his
butler. On examination, this proved to
be that entitled to the 1000 francs,
and the revulsion of feeling caused when
the unlucky woman learned the un.
toward news has produced such mental
depression that her reason Is feared Tor.
