Another NeMnori Scandal.

New York, Dee. 3.-The recent sale
of handsome Newport and New York
residences belonging to former
prominent member of New York
society, which were the scene during
recent summer and winter-with
perhaps the single exception of Mrs.
w. Is. Nanderbil's fancy BALLOT the
handsomest and most costly private
entertainments ever given in the me
tropolis of the summer capital, did not
surprise many persons who have been
cognizant Of certain unfortunate OF
currences which have lately divided
her family. Among the numerous ru-
mors which have been in circulation
the most reliable and well founded
seems 10 be that the lady in question
has left home and family and with
drawn her property ontierly from her
husbands hands. The rumor further
discloses that this lady is at present in
Switzerland, and that while no formal
separation between her husband and
herself has taken place i. is not proba-
BILE that she will ever again assume
her position at the head of his house
hold. The husband and her family,
deprived of their former income of up
wards of Sl50,0OO per year, now oc-
cupy n small and modest home, and
have the sympathy of their friends
and acquaintance. Another rumor
is to the effect that, inspired by a
platonic attachment for Il foreign no
bleman, who was almost penniless in
consequence of reckless gambling, she
has enlisted herself and her estate in
the endeavor to reclaim him, to pay
his debts, and place him in his proper
position before the world.
