Because if we young ones want Il.

An English EIopemeut.

The London Truth tells this story about
the young Earl of Shrewsbury, who eloped
with Mrs. Mundy recently. Tho fair but
frail lady retired to the custody of her
brother. The latter had openly expressed
himself in somewhat forciblc language con-
corning the titled Lothario. Lothario sent
message through his kinsman, Lord
H, that he would be glad to meet the
ladys brother at an appointed time and
place, with view of arranging hostile
meeting in satisfaction of the strong Ian
guage referred to The brother fell into
the trap, and attended the rendezvous. evil
IDENTIFY hoping for an opportunity of admin
istering condign punishment on the spot
There he found the kinsman, Lord -,
but no 1.othario. He expressed to the rep
rescntative kinsman his view of the propo-
sal for hostile meeting, viz: That he
treated it with contempt, and should not
think of going out under the circumstances;
but that ut the same time he should have
much pleasure in introducing his own shoe
maker to the nobleman's tailor at the ear
lest opportunity, through the medium of
contact with the wares purveyed rcspec-
lively by those cntcrprisng tradesmen. The
meeting then terminated. A day or two
after the brother received another commu-
nication from the kinsman of the youth,
saying that he had ceased to act on behalf
of the latter, having found out that he had
been playing him false. And so in truth
he had. The idea of q meeting to arrange
duel was merely a ruse on the part Of
Lothario to get both his kinsmen out of the
way for tho day. SO soon as he had dis
patched each of them ON this interview,
and had thus got the brother off guard of
the lady, Lothario posted down to the alb
sent brothers abode, and there spent the
day In sweet communion with the fair part
ner of his cscapadc.

A Fine New Steamship.

The new steamship Elbe has arrived at
the port of New York. She is a magnificent
iron screw steamship of nearly 5000 tons
gross register, ana has been built for the
North German Lloyd Company of Bremen.
The steamer is intended for the Bremen
and New York line, andlis of the following
dimensions: Length, 40 feet breadth, As
feet; depth, SO feet q inches. She is classed
in the highest grade Of the Bureau Veritas,
with several extras over their requirements,
such as lower and orlop decks and ad-
ditional water-tight bulkheads. All the
decks and deck work are constructed either
of teak or iron. With u view to protect the
vesse! from:thc heavy Atlantic seas, strongly
constructed iron turtle backs are placed
over both ends of the ship. Situated in the
centre of the upper deck are houses for the
officers, fremen and others, together with
galleys, smOling-room and entrances TIC
first and sccOnd-class saloons, while over
head there is u promenade deck about so
feet long and the whole width of the ship,
solely appropriated to the use of first-class
passengers. In addition to the accommo-
dation for the officers and crew-170 in
number-the vessel is designed to carry 100
first-class, 100 second-class and 1000 steer
age. passengers. The Elbe has just made her
maiden trip across the Atlantic, in which
the necessary caution in working the en-
gines for the first time and adjusting the
parts, compelled her engineers to run her ut
lower rate of speed than she will attain in
later voyages.

1t is a popular idea, says an English pa
per, in England that Frenchmen, to what
ever crimes and vices they may be addicted
seldom or never get drunk, This is scarcely
reconcilable with the Paris police returns OF
the drunkards arrested between January, l
and April 80 of this year. On an average
the police must have laid hold of one hun,
bred and fifty topers day during that
period Now the cases of drunkenness
which come before the London magistrates
daily are pretty numerous but they dc
not approach the Partisan total. The Eng
lander" after ALL is not so expert in his
drinking" as "Iago" insinuates. At any
rate, it must be admitted that wholly dis
proportionate noiseis made about it when
we consider that one of the invariable re-
marks of visitors to Paris is that thoy have
hardly ever seen drunken man.
