4 LONDON, Sept. 3.-There are new honos
In store for that extremely fortunate soldier.
Lord Wolseley. The Queen intends shortly
to create ~
A COUPLE OF NEW FIELD MARsHALs
and Sir Garnet Il 70 be one Of them. This
win Be the nrst time for many years that the
position has been held BY soldier who IL
still Of an age to command an army in the
feld-the post has usually been given either
TO veterans who are long pact active service,
or to members Of the Royal Family. 1t is
somewhat curious to note that upon reach
ing certain age, every Royal Prince is sup
posed to become specially endowed with
qualities which ft him to have dominion
ever his less fortunate countrymen. Hence
we have the Duke Of Cambridge and the
Prince Of Wales IS Field Marshals; the Duke
Of Connaueht Colonel of the Guards; and
the Duke Of Edinburgh as an Admiral In the
English navy. The complimentary appoint
ments are scarcely more than q step In ad.
vance Of the Russian practice Of appointing
an infant prince to the command of q regi-
ment as soon IS he is born; and the hardy
soldiers Of the North have to cheer Justify at
the spectacle of the youthful commander re-
clining on velvet cushion. 1t is scarcely
an exaggeration to say that all these lucky
individuals are so hoDorsd for the simple
reason that they are the sons of their own
mother. .... -
MARRYING FORTUNES.
Some young Englisbmen, with aristoeratic
connections and imposing titles, seem to have
happy way Of coming over to the States and
running off with the beauties and heiresses
Of the West Sir Charles Wolseley has just
been married to Miss Murphy, of California,
who is reported over here to be worth some
sc, 000, 900 in Lsr own right. Lord Beau
mont has captured Miss Jennie Flood, who
also counts her fortune by the million; and
| . nephew of the Earl Of Evesham has made
| matrimonial arrangements with one of the
most beautiful ana wealthy girls of the South
Miss Louise Lee.
English noblemen with high sounding
titles will soon be as numerous as the sands
on the sea shore,if titulsr honors continue to
be bestowed as literally as they have been
during the last few years. Last week, for in
stance, Mr.. Devereux, q halter, Mayor of
Windsor, and an intimate friend of the late
John Brown, was favored with the honor of
knighthood at the Queens hands; and no.
body knows whether the title has been con- !
ferred upon him on account of his hats, his
politics, or his intimacy with the departed !
faithful ghillie."
PIoUs FRAUD
has just been attempted on the English peo-
pie, but has fortunately been detected In
time. A certain Mr.. Shapiro, . guileless
dealer In antiquities, with business premises
In Jerusalem, appeared in London short
time ago with several rolls of parchment all
torn and ancient looking. They were in
scribed with hieroglyphics which filed the
spectator with awe and wonder-feelings
which were intensified by the statement that
they represented the original of our Scriptu-
raj book of Deuteronomy. The sacred relics
were deposited in the British Museum, and
Hebrew experts have been puzzing their gi-
gantic intellects in endeavoring to translate
the manuscript into readable English. A
skantical Frsncbman pamad rIarr,o,t IL,
neau has just come to their rescue and de-
clares that the precious fragments are for
gerry. In addition TO this, he has recognized
Mr.. Shapiro As q Hebrew gentleman who
''sold" the German government over a little
transaction in some spurious articles of Mo-
abite pottery about ten years ago. The
owner Of these fine old twenty five century
crusted manuscripts valued his treasures at
something like million pounds, but Is now
willing to make small reduction In order
to "close out" ......:
THE ENGLISH TRAVELLING PUBLIC
is developing taste for long distance trips,
and Is casting longing glances at the attrac-
tions offered by q tour through the North
west-their interest having been aroused by
lengthy reports Of the Presidents visit to the
Yellowstone region, which have appeared in
most Of the society papers. The London
Graphic has already presented its readers
with . series of sketches taken from the
handbook issued by the Northern Pacific
Railroad. The american Exchange, too, has
been publishing . monthly journal of
"travel," In which the Intending visitor Is
IS to the concentration of natu-
raj wonders to be found In the National
Park. The large party Of distinguished
Englishmen now out West will doubtless
have plenty to say about the beauties of the ,
scenery beyond the Main Divide, and there
will be every prospect of large influx of ,
visitors "from over the sea" IS soon as the
next tourist season comes round. .oE"t
MARY ANDERSON. 'a'@@ |,
The night before last the Lyceum was re.
opened by Mr.. Abbey, and was crowded with
, fashionable audience anxious to witness
The first appearance in this country of Miss
Mary Anderson, the apt and clever pupil of ,
Charlotte Cushmsn. The fame of this cele-
brated actress had already preceded her, and
svery seat in the huge building was booked ,
days ago. 1t Is pleasure to chronicle Miss
Anderson's complete success. The critics J.,
Are unanimous In her praise, and there Is ,
reason to anticipate brilliant career for this !,
'alented young lady during her stay In En-.
gland. Miss Anderson Is tall, has graceful !
carriage, finely modulated voice, and her
features, delicately cut, are set off by mass =,
If fair hair. The reception given her by the !
Lyceum audience was as cordial in every
way As that accorded to their own Ellen
Terry, and her success is all the more to be /
from being obtained in such an
lncisnt and Questionable play As "Ingo- !
mar" That the American actress moved, =
Interested and delighted her audience in
play which has been discarded Is old.time +
