MARRIED THE CoAcHnrAN.

Not much else being stirring in New York
about the elopement of Miss Victoria Moro
sini, with her fathers coachman, hulSing
young German. AS much of row is made
over the matter as if some princess Of the blood
royal had entered into mesalliance with 81
base commoner." Every paper has from one
to two columns of twaddle about the where
abouts of the young couple, all the police are
supposed to be on the lookout for them, and
Morosini, the father, stalks around like a coun-
try tragedian wailing about the disgrace to
my family, which in my own country would be
instantly wiped out in blood, ," and makes os-
tentatious display Of revolver which he
fears unless he is restrained, he will make use
of to slay his daughter her lover or both. In
the meanwhile the young people are said, by
their friends, to be having a very pleasant
honeymoon, the only cloud upon their felicity
being the fuss that others will persist in MAX
ing over them.
The whole affair is not worth one-hundredth
the bobbery that has been kicked up over it.
Instead of Morosini being some -blooded
Italian prince If, indeed, that were of any
real consequence is a Roman jew who
began in this country as some sort of clerk
or underling for Jay Gould, and by his smart
ness +" so commended himself to that magnate
that he was promoted from time to time until
he became Gould's confidential broker, and in
that capacity made nice little fortune for
himself Having got some money his next
ambition is to pash himself in society, pro-
ject which is sadly interfered with by his eld-
est daughters marriage to coachman who is
the step-son of keeper of a beer-saloon. The
foaming at the mouth is mainly caused by an
ger that one of his selfish schemes has been
defeated.
The girl who ran away had reached the age
of %. Several years ago, when sine Was in the
first-fush of youth, and had the advantages of
freshness and health, she had been considered
handsome, but now, say her sisters and init
mate lady friends, though dear Victoria still
had iue hair and teeth, she had gone off greatly
in the last few years"
This tells the whole story The girl had a
girls natural desire to be married She saw
her companions find suitable mates, while she
was left minated. Her parents social ambi-
tion prevented her forming a union with those
who were really her social equals, while the
ones they would have liked her to marry looked
down upon them and her
In the absence of more suitable object, she
fixed her affections upon the coaehInan, who
seems to be a healthy, decent sort of fellow,
with no bad habits and fairly Industrious
His chief olense in the eyes of the lady's
family is that he is a very common fellow"
But as the Morosini conception of "common-
ness pivots upon the non-p possession of money,
this objection may pass away He may be
taken into partnership in the saloon by his
step-father, and as saloon keeping is in the
long run a more reliably profitable business
Than Wall-street broking, it is not at all i'm
probable that few years hence viii see the
bankrupt and broken-down Morosini seeking a
home with his son-in-law, who has in the
meanwhile grown rich, fat and asthmatic from
the sale of beer.
