the leading spirits Of the Prince OF
Walcs's set-ay ark3y;, Jolly little fellow,
with, curly brown hair, aud bright,
dancing eye He is the hero of no end
Of scrspes, both at home and abroad,
and has usually been regarded by those
who have known him best as too rash
and scatte r-brail,ed ever to make good
officer. But his friends were rather at
fanlt in their estimate, for :: is GOODNESS
and gallantry under fire have made peo-

comes naturally by his ways. His grand
father w;,s the famous Marquis of Water
ford, whose exploits are historical, ana
his eldest brother, the present marquis,
when Earl Of Tyrone, eloped with the
wife of Captain Vivian, and married her,
after the customary divorce and dam
ages. Another brother, Lord William
Beresford, an officer Of the Ninth Ian
GERS, when few years ago in India, won
the Victoria Cross, England's greatest
decoration for personal valor; while a
third brother, Lord Marcus, or 'Marky,"
as he is called in the clubs, is. perhaps
the best gentleman" Jockey and steeple-
chase rider i'll the kingdom. He was
formerly in the Seventh Hnssars, but
got too deeply ''illto it, on the turf, and
was obliged to sell ont to save his COM
mission from the clutches Of the money
lender. Two or three .-'ears ago he was
up before London police magistrate,
and fined five hundred pounds with the
option of six months imprisonment in
the house of correction, for unmerci-
fully beating a solicitor who had lent
him some money and had come
to ask for it. LORD Charles do

suffice. During the American war Of
the rebellion he was q midsbipman on
board the flagship Sutlej of the Pacific
squadron, and one night, when the ship
lay in Honolulu harbor at the Sand dwich

he couldn't better display them than by
climbing up in the dark, and saving
down the shield, which decorated the
door Of tile United States consulate
The act was traced 10 him wi itilout much
trouble, and the admiral compelled him
to make reparation by climbingup again
in broad daylight, in the presence of the
assembled populace and officers of the
fleet, and fasten the shield back in it's
place. He has saved the lives of no end
of people. from drowning, and might
shave the Humane society's medal a
dozen times over, did not one bestowal
of the decoration sufficiently show the
society's APPRECIATION Of his services.
Altogether he, like all the other Of his
race and line, combines the qualities
of good and bad in an odd
sort Of heterogeneous fashion.

achievements, and one which has gained
