which offences she has been arrested
and jailed, but there are other charges
against her for obtaining larger sums
of money.
The arrest was brought about in 4
peculiar way James Getting, an en-.
CINE filter, of Birmingham, had lent
large sums of money. which was guar
anteed by a forged document from
Lord Coleridge. Being in want Of
cash two years ago, he wrote Lord
Coleridge, who denied all knowledge
of the matter, and threatened if he
wrote again, to have him arrested. He
told the prisoner this, who said she
would look into this matter, and in a
day or two after he received a letter
from Lord Coleridge-of course forged
saying his former letter was a mis-
take, and he would look tothe matter
Recently he wanted money and again
wrote his lordship, who sent the letter
to the Birmingham police and he was
arrested. This led to the arrest of the
adventures.
Miss Furnieux is described as a
single woman, aged 43, said to be &C
complished, and is the daughter of
distinguished physician. For years
she has existed upon the credulity of
her acquaintance, and in February,
1881, she was guilty of great piece
of injustice. She had borrowed from
Benjamin Fowell, an old man, aged 81,
upwards of $4,000, and he being in urg-
ent need of money, which she was ex-
travagantly spending, wrote her a
threatening letter. She had the auda-
city to have him arrested. He was
committed for trial and as the Judge
and jury saw before them a smooth
tongued defenseless woman, who re-
pudiated the debt, and an undefended,
simple workman, who aggravated his
offense by speaking, what is now
known, the truth, he was sentenced to
one years Imprisonment with hard la
Dor, and would have had greater pun
ishment if he had not have been an old
man. In this case she imposed upon
the old mai. by saying she was niece
of Lord Coleridge's, and by producing
forged papers.
Mr., Powell was released last month
from his unjust Imprisonment, and the
prisoner now occupies cell in the
Birming CHAM jail to await her trial
when she will, no doubt, receive the
punishment she merits. H. r. T.

In June, 1870, we stood by an open
grave and saw the remains of an I'M
fortunate friend inferred. That friend
was Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton, the
third son of Henry ", Duke of New
castle and his Inflated duchess, Lady
Susan Catherine Hamilton-Douglas,
daughter and heiress of Alexander x,
Duke of Hamilton. He was then
what is fguratively called "under a
cloud" Althou h captain of the
Queens "Nayee," an ex-member of
parliament and holding other impor-
tant offices, he had become involved IN
the Boulton and Park scandal, and
who was at that time under bond to
answer the charge against him. He
frequently assured the writer that he
was innocent of the offence, and a
friendship of some years led him to
know that his statement was true.
Those who were his friends chung to
him closer, but the charge completely
broke the spirit of one of the bold
est and gayest men in town,
and retiring to small inn in Hamp-
shire, he gradually died of what was
truly broken heart. But the radical
press and their followers protested not
to believe in his death. He was an
aristocrat and must be pursued even
beyond the grave. They inferred that
he was not dead, and that the reported
death was simply means of evading
justice. Many believe so still and
this unfounded belief has enabled
Liverpool adventures of French ex-
traction to defraud residents of radical
Birmingham of large sums Of money.
This woman, Mary Jane Furnieux, ap-
peared in Birmingham about 1874 with
her hair cut short. and being of mas
culine proportion, she had the appear
ance of a man in female clothing.
Gradually she impaired her secret that
she was really a man and no other
than Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton, who
was assuming female attire, and in
need, until the queen could conven-
iently pardon him, and he could ham
die the revenues of his estate. She
described herself in documents as
"Iord Arthur Pelham Clinton, now
Earl of Lawsburg," title he never
held, and which is not in existence,
and produced letters said to be from
the queen, the Prince of Wales, Lord
Coleridge, and other persons of dis
tinction, and between 1874 and 1870
she managed to defraud Edward s
Benyon, engineer, Birmingham, of
$4,000 and James Screen, boiler {
maker of Birmingham, of 81 5000, for |

The Philadelphia Swell.

Philadelphia Times.
Many new and handsome turnouts have ap-
peared upon the drive, and the craze for nov
city which infests almost every other phase of
fashionable life seems to have also extended
to its get.up behind the rafting hoofs. The
stylish young men who drive have adopted
the white cloth coachman's coat. with brass
buttons and dark high hat, SO that there is abb
solutely nothing to distinguish them from the
servants in livery who sit beside them or at
their back. Sometimes the coachman is left
behind and friend goes out, and he, too, puts
on the livery of the stable-even going so far
occasionally, when he has no rig of his own,
to borrow for the occasion the coachman' S
veritable buds. There is fancy that "blood
will always tell" and that the gentleman drlv-
err, although in a coachman's coat discloses
the difference at glance by his style. Ac-
cordingly, the most of the young men who 60
out may be seen leaning forward considerable
in their T cart seats, with both arms extended
at full length as they hold the reins and al
lowing themselves to be swayed to the full ex-
tent Of the movement Of the carriage This is
what is supposed to constitute ''style."

Federal Offices.

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
Washington, D. c., May 7.-One OF the
leading republicans of Texas, Col. Bob lay
lor, is in the city, to look after the disposition
of federal patronage in his state. He is OPP
posed to the democrats holding postofces and
other places there, and he proposes to bring
influence to bear to secure their dismissal.
He states that there are I,4oo postofhces in
the state which are now in the hands of demo-
Gratis, and the collectorship at Galveston is in
the hands of Co. Miller, who is more instru-
! mental in the election of Culberson to Con-
gress every two years than any democrat in
his district The postmaster at Austin, Mr..
Decrease, is a retired army officer with pay,
| and receives in addition $4,000 year as post
MASTER and his removal will be suggested. As
to the Jones movement, COL Bob thinks it a
little premature, as he does not recognize in
Zones the elements necessary to republican
success. He says that Jones voted against
the tariff, and that the leading republicans in
Texas are tariff men. The Colonel says
| further that the President is willing to assist
any movement for the benefit OF Texas that is
not tainted with secession.

Floral Games In France.
Philadelphia 7 ines.

Philadelphia 7 lines.
In France during the Middle Ages May
was celebrated at Toulouse by the reno"eo
floral games, at which the Provencal Poe's con
tested for a golden violet. Afte' ward siVer
eelantine and silver marigold were added as
secondary prizes and Clemerce lsaure, lazy
of rank, who died in 1870 bequeathed the oulK
of her property to the prePetuatlon OF ms Gus,
tom, She provided for number OF gold anu
silver flowers, which were to be annually con-
tested for by rival poets, and in consequence
it has been enormously claimed that she IN
stituted these games, whereas the trst was
held in 1,2s. A small marble figure OF the
noble lady Stands over the door OF the consls-
tory of the Hotel de Vile, at Toulouse, and IN
her hand were flowers, now long since brok-
en- away. A practical spirit, too, she must
have been, in spite of her liking for romanuc
poetry, for she left as an especial legacy TO
her native city those most prosalcally usetui
things, her markets.
The floral games continued under many
changes until comparatively recent date
Louis XIV honored them with his especial ia
vor, and, strangely enough, the celebrated fa-
bre' dEglantine, whose name will forever De
associated with the stormiest pages OF the
Reign of Terror, gained his title from winning
silver eglantne in one of these peaceful and
and courtly contests.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST.

Whatever may be the course thought best
to be pursued by all opponents of bourbonism
in the coming general election, we are at
present indefinite about it, but in regard to
the congressional race it is different. This is
a national matter and national politics control.
In this district it is a necessity that republic
can candidate takes the field. The CONNER
cial and business interests of the district re-
quires that republican be elected. These
interests cannot be entrusted to uncertain
hands or left to the sweet will of party en-
tirely opposed to them. A republican con-
vention must be held.

lin Saturday called forth the following procla-
nation:
To the land league of America-The exc
cradle and cowardly assassination of Lord
Frederick Cavendish, newly appointed chief
secretary for Ireland, and Under Secretary
Burke, has Mortified the world, and is especial
" painful and abhorrent to every true friend of
Ireland. We denounce the awful crime and
exhort our brethren in Ireland to use every
effort to bring its perpetrators to Justice and
to show their detestation OF the tendish act
which only an arch enemy of our race, or some
irresponsible idiot, could have conceived or
executed. JAMES MOONEY,
President of the Irish National Land League
of America.
Several of the most prominent members of
the Irish National Land League of this city
execrate the horrible crime, and hope that the
perpetrators of the 6endish act may be brought
speedily to justice. The assassination is con-
sidered direct blow at the interests and ris-
ing hopes of Ireland, and is particularly to
be deplored at this time.
Augusta, Ga, May I3.-The Land League
passed resolutions denouncing the murderers
of Lord Cavendish and Mr.. Burke. For the
present we content ourselves with saying that
be the explanation of the murder what it may.
all Inshmen will share the horror felt at this
deed of blood, and will sympathize with the
sorrow which has fallen on the bearers of a
name honored and cherished in the annals OF
our country.
