Mrs. Lan.try so,a Out at Auction.

Mrs Langtry's downfall is due to ex-
trayaganee. With an income of about 100, she
embarked in social current where the Hghtest
draft craft need at least 5000. Society kindly
magnifed her husbands resources five fold,
and they were soon in the swim with the
richest. To people in such circle getting credit
in London is as easy as breathing. No fancy is
too extravagant, no price too large. The dealers
struggled for the privilege of becoming Mrs. Lang
try's creditors. But if the jersey Lily" con-
tracted expensive tastes, so did the husband, and
between them they rode the gift horse to early
grave. Seriously and skillfully managed, the
Langtry's credit ought to have lasted them to q
good old age, and they might have died in peace
with debts of not less than $4,000; but it was too
much to try to crowd the $4,000 into three four
years, and when Mrs. Langtry's husband went
to America he was simply getting from under the
inevitable crash. Mrs. Langtry's snug little nest
was soon afterward thrown open to more mixed,
but more candid gathering than it had ever
known during her regime; and, though the pub
lie who attended the auction sale were highly dis
appointed in the amount and character of the con-
tents of her house, they probably not half as
disappointed as were the creditors 1t is reported
that Mrs. Langtry viii surely appear on the stage
within year, and it is altogether likely that she
will nominally assume the profession of an actress
She will live in the same extravaganza as before,
and if any one wonders how she is able to pay her
bills out ofa mediocre actress earning there will
be vague story of an inexhaustible gold mine
discovered by the husband, who, very fortunately,
is in Ameriea.-LoRdoR Correspondence BufalO

A Prudent Bishop.

The picture of the Blessed Virgin, said
to be by st. Luke, in the Annunziata Church, in
Florence is a relic much venerated, and kept in a
little chapel in that church. which, being an in
closure of bars and bronze, looks like avary or
other large cage. 1t is enriched, says tourist,
with all that looks glittering and precious. A
golden lamp, the present of Charles ". of Spain,
hangs from the ceiling. The picture was exposed
twice during our stay-once on occasion of
prayers for rain and once during the illness of
the archduchess-both times with good success;
for the archduchess recovered, and the rain came

"Not SO; whoever else has stolen, his skirts are
clear. He has neither stolen nor lied" And the
lady passed to question within herself the pos
sbility of counteractng the lies of the press about
one whom all intelligent people know has no flaw
in his integrity.
Perhaps the best counteraeting influence to the
falsehoods which our liberty of the press allows is
after ALL to be found in the very excess of the lib

Conkling now and not through revolt at its

The organs of monopoly are striving
hard to cast faint upon Gorham's record as a
Republican. He is charged with deserting the
party in California in the heat of political cam
paign. The facts of the case are that he de-
manded pledge of the men nominated as rail-
road commissioners. They refused to take the
pledge. Gorham announced in the convention
that he would make a speech for no man who
would not take the anti railroad pledge squarely
and unequivocally. Whenthe tickets were placed
in the field Gorham found but one railroad COM
missioner who would put himself on record
against the Central. Pacific monopoly, and that was
General Stoneman. Gorham supported him and
he was elected. When the test came Stoneman
stood squarely to his promise and with the people;
the other two sold themselves to the monopoly.
