An entire volume might be written On
the eccentricities of French actresses.
Mile. Lea D'Asco, lady we'll known to
French playgoers, bought fine specimen
OF Turkestan bear for 800 francs, and,
having placed him in a cage, devoted her
self to the task of educating him. At the
| end of month the bear had become 80
civilized that she placed an entire garden
at his disposal. This no doubt might have
answered very we'll if nobody but the act
ress had ventured to disturb Bruins medi-
tations, but everything does not happen..as
we wish it in this world. An old woman, a
servant of Mile. d'Asco, happening to 60
out in the garden few days ago, the bear
gave her hug more generous than affec-
tionate, from which she died.
A heavy blow and great Encouragement
has fallen upon R. G. Tichborne Castro,
the unhappy baronet of Dartmoor. His
steadfast and liberal friend, Mr.. Guilford
Onslow, is dead. That gentleman's fanat-
zeal belief in the fiat imposture cost him
from first to last e15, 900, not to mention
an enormous expenditure of time and
trouble in the endeavor to work up infu-
entail sympathy for the captive. There is
nothing for the claimant now but to suffer
his durance as best he can. He will be
out in spite of them all on Sept. 1, 1884,
which is only two years off, and there is
reason to believe that after emancipation
he will start public house-a good idea,
for man with such career in the char
fortune in few years.
The king of Holland, Notwithstanding
| his eecentricity, may fairly claim that his
conduct is a protest against the luxury and
effeminacy of some persons who lay claim
to aristocracy. One of the great Roman
heroes, after leading his country to vic.
tory, rejected the material rewards
which q grateful people offered him, and
retired to his humble cottage to live as a
common husbandman. The king Of Hol.
land cannot boast of having achieved sny
military triunphs, but he exhibits the same
Indifference to pomp and grandeur as the
iilustrious Roman. We are told that in.
stead of dining sumptuously every day he
personally superintends the frying of his
own potatoes, which, together with few
glasses of beer, constitute his homely re.
past.
| The announcement that peerage is
about to be conferred on Sir Garrett VOL
seley recalls the fact that a number OF
other distinguished Irishmen, including
the duke of Wellington, Lord Beresford,
Gen. Hutchinson (afterward Lord Don.
loughmore), Lord Keane, and Lord Cough
have been rewarded for military service in
a similar manner in the present century
The career of Gen. Hutchinson presents
perhaps the most striking parallel to that
of Sir Garrett Wolseley. He entered the
army in 1774 as comet of Dragons, and
in nine years rose to the rank of slieuten-
ant colonel. In 1898 he raised a regiment
himself which he commanded as Colonel
in Flanders in the war against the French.
In 1896 he was made amajor-igeneral, and
was subsequently engaged in the Neither
lands. In the expedition to Egyptin 1901
he was second in command to Sir Ralph
Abercrombie, and when that distinguished
officer fell at the battle of Alexandria, the
chief command devolved on Major-Gen
Hutchinson, who advanced, like. Wolseley,
es far ::as Cairo, when a capitulaiion took
place. and the war was ended. For his
services he was raised to the peerage as
Baron Hutchinson of Alexandria and
Knocklofty in the county of Tipperary.
He succeeded his brother as Earl of DON
oughmore.
