an old widower, declaring that the yenera-
BILE swain used TO wait for Betsy's market
hours to be over and occasionally "he gave

LONDON, November 20.-The London
World publishes the following to-day: Its
quite mistake to suppose that most
Americans who marry Englishmen are
rich. A few are well.to.do; some half q
dozen are rich. Lady Harcourt has large
life income; jointure, but her sister, Mrs.
Sheridan, had no inconsiderable fortune.
MIs. Arthur Paget will probably some day
have 10000 year. The son OF Lord
Augustus LOTUS Is married to the daughter
OF very rich Philadelphia lady. Lady
Hesketh will have very large fortune.
Mrs. Edward Baliour probably has slC0,ss :
0C0. Lady Vaudeville and Lady Lister
Kaye assuredly were not married for
money. On the other hand, many French.
and Germans have rich American wives
The daughters Of American Irishmen, long
resident in Paris, have married French
grandees. I
The daughters Of Dir. Fisher, a rich dry
goods man, married Italian mobiles. Some
ladies named Lee, the daughters OF New
York wholesale grocer, have married into

WASHINGTON, November pa number
Of reputable attorneys at law, practicins
their profession in part before The Pension
Office, have endeavored to induce the Sec.
retary Of the Interior to adopt some regu-
lations regarding admission to that prac-
tice. They have become convinced, from,
a careful examination OF the subject, that
It Is within the power Of the Secretary to
correct many Of the evils now existing, and
they suggested that tho principal cause Of
the scandalous condition Of the Bar as It
now exists was the total absence OF all reg
ulations in regard TO the admission OF per-
sons to practice before the Pen
siou Bureau.
The only statutory requirement for
admission 10 practice is the TAX
IND ofthe oath OF allegiance, and the only
statutory bar to admission Is the holding OF
a United States Office. Neither learning
nor responsibility are required, and the
natural result has followed In the admis'
sion Of d guerrilla band ot so-called attorn-
eys, who are 0. disgrace and scandal TO the
profession. II cannot fail TO be O matter ot
surprise that the Administration has 90
long permitted all persons, without dis
criminatior, to practice before the Pension
0Ece. II Is also auggested to Secretary
Teller that an advisory committee, consist
