BERNAL OSBORNE.
Some Stories an English Writer Tells OF
the Genial Highlander.

Among the houses which he visited
vas that of Lord Panmure, an old Car
5husian, says a writer in Temple Bar.
A story told by him in after life gives a
curious glimpse of the highland habits
fifty years ago. On coming out of the
dining-room after dinner at Lord Pan
mure's, Bernal noticed two stalwart
highlanders in full costume. On in
curing what they were stationed there
for he was told that they were always
posted near to carry the guests up to
bed. Lady C--tells o story about
this time of Bernal's readiness. The
colonel and officers of the list regiment
were lunching at Lord C--'s beau
tiful place neal Dundee. Bernal's task
was to carve a pigeon pie. It happened
that the eolonels name was Pigeon,
against whom Bernal had an old grudge.
Accordingly he at once turned to Mrs.
Pigeon, and offering to help her, re-
marked sudaciously: do you like
Pigeon? Idon't."
Bernal Osborne had no respect for
rank per Sc, and he would have chaffed
. duke with the same pleasure rs o cos
termonger. Here is a terrific encoun-
ter which no had with a sneezing arch
bishop at Dublin castle during the
reign of Lord Carlisle. A lady whose
rendering of some of Moore's melodies
gave great satisfaction to the viceroy
was singing one of his particular favor
ites-"One Dear Smile"-while his ex-
cellency sat listening at the piano be-
side her. Suddenly there was heard q
terrible fit of ~sneezing. Every one
looked up, and the culpr1t was discov-
cred to be no less a parsonage than
Archbishop Whately. The famous pre-
late had alws US been notorious for his
unceremonious manners, and on the
present occasion he gave a further illus
tration of them. Again and again was
the sneezing repeated, and as the arch
bishop was IN close proximity to the
piano, and assisted his sneezing efforts
with a large red silk handkerchief, the
situation became first painful and then
ridiculous. Finally the fair songstress
was obliged to cease singing, and "One
Dear Smile" was transformed into q
very broad and i~rrepressible laugh.
Bernal Osborne's musical sensitiyeness
was outraged to such an extent that he
remarked in his most caustic manner:
i trust your grace's next sermon will
not be cut short by a sternutatory
obligato of the same description, or you
will certainly blow the whole of your
congregation out of church. The arch
bishop was rather uncouth. Once good
Dr.. Murray, when seated by him at the
education board, felt something NOV
ing in his coat-pocket, which turned
put to be DIR. Whatelyls foot!
