Tho Brothers Whom Cardinal Richelicu

From tho London Society.
The Barings have been among the most
famous of English bankers. They are OF
German stock. There is kind Of ecclesi-
astical favor about them. Their English
founder was a Bremen pastor, who settled
in this country. His grandson married the
niece OF an English archbishop. One OF
mis- descendants became bishop OF Durham.
The money was originally made in the rich,
urofitable clothing business in the west OF
England, Ashburton gave title in the
peeraQe to the chief Of the house OF Barring.
II has been o rule in the house that when
any oae of them has got title be goes out

gambler was hardly suited tc the intense
respectahility Of the firm. and Mr.. Henry

Alexander Barring, often known as Alex
ander the Great, sustained and extended
the fortune of the house. He went to
America, and there, the richest banker IN
England, married the daughter of the rich
eat citizen Of the United States.
One of his magnificent TRANSACT

who has lived in Chicago during the past

Their married life was happy, but at that
time Plum was offered situation at Litch-
field, MINI, and went there, leaving Mrs
Plum in this city. The girl he lett behind
him did not long pine for his society, for
she began to receive the attentions of one
John G, Rhode, who was led to think she
she was single woman. He was so assid-
nous in his devotion that he won her
heart, and led her to the altar AUG. B.
Not long ago Plum returned to
the city in haste, being alarmed because he
had not heard from his wife. He learned the
state of affairs and sou hit his wife, who few
to his arms. Rhode, the second husband re.
solved to have revenge, and to-day appeared
before Justice Woodman fora warrant for
bigamy. He unf0lded his tale OF woe, and the
court was about toiissue the warrant when
Plum rushed in and told him the bird had
flown. Sc had started for Europe, having
been provided with railroad and steamship
tioEets by Plum. Rhode was.induced to aban-
don the prosecution, Plum agreeing to pay
the expenses of procuring divorce. They
