OSCAR WILDE.

What time the pillows of the fierce Atlantic
Are highest piled,
Descends upon us, beautiful and frantic,
King of the realms of bric-a-brac the antic
Young Oscar Wilde.
Unshorn his wispy locks, his visage hollow,
But skim-mik mild
The beauty of the Belvidere Apollo,
The artlessness of Jacob Abbot's Rollo
Hath Oscar Wilde.
He sleeps upon clay bed, strewn with molly
Unique unriled
He scorns the rations of the herd unholy,
On honey dew and musk and roly poly
Feeds Oscar Wilde.
He holdeth sweet discourse in English pristine
And undefled,
of Satsuma and Seyres and he Sstine
The forests love him, but the Snug Phillistine
Hates Oscar Wilde.
Bereft of Burne Jones, from his native arbors
Remote, exiled,
Him now our too barbaric Gotham harbors,
The loved of ladies, but the loathed of BARRIERS,
Bold Oscar Wilde.
High is his art land price) he wears his collar
Like Byrons Childe;
In love and letters he's clever scholar,
Yet I'm afrid can't afford dollar
For Oscar Wilde.

The Fortune cf The Earrings.

The Earrings have been among the
most famous of English bankers. They
are of German stock. There is o kind Of
eccleeiastical flavor about them. Their
English founder was Bremen pastor,
who settled in this country. His grand
son married the niece of an English
archbishop. One of his descendants
became bishop Of Durham. The money
was originally made in the rich, profita-
BILE clothing business in the west of Eng
land. Ashburton gave title in the
peerage to the chief Of the house of Bar
ing. 1t has been q rule in the house that
when any one of them has got title he
goes out of the business. Sir Francis
Barring, the great banker, who, dying in
1910, left fortune of two millions, had
three sons--Thomas, Alexander
and Henry. Thomas succeeding to
the Baronetcy, gave up the business.
Henry had Q rather romantic reputation
as lucky gambler, who was frequently
able to break the bank of gambling
table. He was the amazement Of be-
holders when he would sit down at Q
gambling table at the Palais Royal
before such tables were happily abol-
ished) with piles of gold and notes 10
fore him. The reputation of success
full gambler was hardly suited to the
intense respectability Of the firm, and
Mr.. Henry was induced to retire from
the business. Alexander Barring. often

ter of the richest citizen of the
United States. One of his gigantic
transactions possesses an historical i'm
portance. After the conclusion of the
great European war he paid down sum
of Ell, 100000, by which France was
freed from the occupation of Russian,
Austrian, and German armies. sThere
are six great powers in Europe" said the
Due de Richelieu, England, France,
Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Barring
Bros" In 1885 he was made Lord
Ashburton. Two of his sons held
the title, and each successfully retired
from the business. The head of the firm,
Thomas Barring, became Chancellor of
the Exchequer in Lord Melbournes
Ministry, and another member, Lord
Northbrook, has been Governor General
of India.

His First Case.

Before Police Justice White recently
a bridal party was arraigned-or, rather,
arranged-and spectators would have
thought that the magistrate, from the
blush on his face, was the groom. He
looked at the groom, took timid
look at the bride, and then
stared at the certificate in his
hand. Finally he struggled through the
ceremony, and ended with the trite:
"Do you, Gustave Leasing, take this
complainant-I mean this woman-to be
your wife?"
81 do"
"And do you, Emma Blynn, take this
pris--no, this man-to be your hus-
band?"
The bride bent her head in sign of ac-
quiescence.
"Then kiss each other and get out as
quick as you can"
There was a resounding smack, and
the magistrate turned his eyes away
while court officer at the door coughed
loudly. Then the couple left the build
ing. accompanied by their friends.
''It was my first case" explained Jus
tice White to Justice Otternourg, as he
