The Duchess's Cinderella


A Paris journalist has discovered real "Cin-
derella" in the person of the wife of an Eng
lish millionaire, whose name he withholds,
from deicacy or other causes. About fifteen
wears ago the painter Hebert was executing
his fine portrait of the Duchess of Noailies. lie
was working at the same time upon an exquls-
tie qey,re picture, in whose progress the Ouch
ess took a great interest Itrepresented young
italian girl of extraordinary loneliness. One
day the Duchess said to the artist: 1t is I'M
possible that such a face should be mere
naipter's ideal The original must sometimes
come to your studio. should like to see her.
The lady was so charmed with the girl that she
said to the painter "If the rich give so much
money to hang mp copy npon ghe vans Wna'
an ornament the original would be Tor any So
lonf' The thought which she had thus struck
ont seemed to have fascinated her, and when
the picture of the beautiful Italian girl bad
found its way into Rothscbild's COLLECTION 81
Ferrieres the Duchess took the glrl berseit,
adopted her, and gave her the very pes. eaac cs
aud gladly yielded up their daughter TO the
splendid future which the amiable Duchess en-
gagged to provide for her.
Hebert's picture persisted in the flames DUR
ing the fire at the Chateau of Ferrieres in 1877,
hnt the original had developed into women
of wonderful beauty. Her guardian kept q
Jealous eve upon her numerous admirers, de-
fermining that if her Cinderella did not become
a princess. she should marry into family OF
high social distinction, Meanwhile an Eng
lishman OF very great wealth, who was WISHING
the House of Noailes, not only fell deeply ID
love with the beautiful ward, but gained her
heart. Although he was not noble, ne was

ABOUT six years ago Mr.. Hallet Kilbourne
was called upon to testify before one of the
Congressional investigating committees
which were in such active operation at that
time. For some reason or other he did not
see fit to appear, and this contumacy led to
his being placed under arrest by Sergeant-at-
Arms Thompson. He was detained in con-
finement for about six weeks, during which
time he was RECALLED in the most lavish man
ner at the public expense, and held a series
of receptions, to which his sympathizers
crowded. Some time ago Mr.. Kilbourne
brought suit against the Sergeant-at-Arms
for false imprisonment. He is the fellow
who received verdict for 100000 the 9TH
er day.

GENERAL LURR, whose vicissitudes as
conspirator, revolutionist, diplomat and gen
eral intermediary in the greater part OF the
mischief that has torn European tranquility
during the last ten years is to take up the
work left undone by that other mischief
maker, Nero, 1900 years ago. Nero alter
mating the sock and buskin with architec-
ture and fiddling, lent himself with great
enthusiasm to the cutting of a canal between
the broad gulf of Corinth and the lonely wa
tiers of the Egean Sea. With his other and
more exciting pleasures and his death at
twenty-five, Nero was diverted from this use
full scheme, which has remained two thous-
and years uncompleted, and General Lurr,
q son of the barbarian Dacians of Nero's
day, goes down with subscription of many
millions of francs to finish the cutting and
shorten the route from Brindisi and the
Mediterranean ports by twenty-four hours
for the fleets of merchantmen plying be-
tween Europe and the Black Sea.

"They see the health of their children Jeop-

SO far as the true objects OF education are
concerned, mean nothing. By and by they
will perceive that live and untramelled men
and women are what is needed in our school
rooms, rather than an iron-bound machinery
of which both teacher and pupil are the
slaves"

South Carolina Election Frauds.

0O0Dh Sd1 Ol1lCb IIlOSblOl l. AcsAtSA1'
Those men whose carriage is so erect that
they lean backwards, and who are SO anxious
to be impartial that they reject the testimo-
ny of their friends and give ear to the
words of their enemies, may be edited by
the story of the South Carolina election
frauds as developed under the administra-
ton of Attorney General Brewster. That
officer, determined to see justice done and
to satisfy the candid public that the charges
of fraud were well-founded. selected two
Democratic lawyers of Philadelphia, Messrs,
Saunders and Ker, as special United States
attorneys to assist in the investigation of the
matter. and the prosecution of offenders
against the election laws. These men went
to work and part of the result of their labor
has been made public. Last week the grand
jury at Charleston returned true bill
against the election commissioners OF Sum-
ter county, charging them with throwing
out certain polls and refusing to count them.
Afterwards these Democratic "reformers,"
without waiting for a jury of their peers to
sit on their case, pleaded guilty of the often
ces with which they were charged, and the
Judge declaring that the government only
wished to vindicate the law, let them go
without sentence.
The investigation and trial brought out
some things which puzzled the Democratic
Philadelphia lawyers. 1t puzzled Mr.. Ker
to ascertain how the Northern Democracy
can ever get into the majority until the
Southern Democracy mends its ways, and he
gives up the riddle in despair. He was puz-
zled, too, to learn why he, Democrat,
should be stoned in the streets of Charleston
because he wished to preserve the purity. OF
elections aud to punish those who perpetrat-
ed frauds on the ballot box. Mr.. Saunders
is equally puzzled at the South Carolina ar
tcle of Democracy, and declares he should
onlp know the thing by its label. 1t doesn't
at all meet his idea of free ballot and
fair count.
Perhaps the Democratic testimony and
the confession of the criminals may have
some effect upon the obtuse minds of those
who have hitherto declared that the stories
Of election frauds in the South were cam
paign ISLANDERS invented by Republicans with
q view to political profit.
