The daughters of the Earl of Fife-the
Ladies Duff-are the sort refer to. The
earldom OF Fife comes directly from the
Macduf immorl allied by Shakespeare;
yet what are the careers of these daught
ers Of the house? All of them great beau
ties, they are as unchaste as they are
beautiful. The Earl's eldest daughter,
Lady Ann Duff, married Marquis Towns
hend, and soon afterward eloped with
Lord Ernest Bruce, the Marquis giving
| the affair publicity and taking his satis-
two friends at night. and giving him a
beating. Lady Ida Duff married Adrian
Hope, Esq, and Lord Somerset was made
correspondent in the divorce suit which
followed. A third sister, Lady Agnes
Duff, a woman, if possible, more beauti-
ful than the Others, married Viscount
Dupplin, the man who wanted TO marry
Miss Vanderbilt, of New York, and true
to her family instincts, shortly after ran
away with Mr.. Flower, with whom she
eloped from Epsom Downs during the
Derby day. The regulation divorce fol,
lowed, and she married Flower.
Then there is lady Mary Craven,
daughter Of the Earl of Harkwicke,
mistress of the Prince of Wales while he
was but boy. She resembles Mrs. Nun

Kissed by the crowd when she made her
first appearance in public with the Earl,
after the honeymoon, the contrast was
so marked between the two. They are
called Beauty and the Beast"
The Earl'a oldest son and heir, Lord
Wodehouse, il may here be observed, is
low-minded spendthrift, his eagerness
to obtain money to supply his insane
squanderings having led him into the
commission of forgery on several occa-
sions-lttte dereictions which bis faith

to appear and do, and be like man, she
usually succeeds in being like four or five
men. And somehow or other she selects
for her models the very type Of men that
all other men de5pise. She exaggeratcs
every attribute of man that she attempts
to copy. If she carries cane, she usual

And she wouldn't chew it, she would
''chawr" it. When she walks down the
street with your brother she takes long
er strides than her mortified escort. She
talks loud as some men, but no gentle
men do. She doesn't try to be gentle
man; she tries to be "man." She over
does everything, like boy learning to
swear, who drags in his blanks and dashes
without regard to grammar or fitness,
time, occasion or place.
And nobody likes her very much. Oh,
she sometimes, when she is naturally a
very bright woman, makes the circle
about her lively and animated. Men
cluster about her if she is handsome, and
laugh with her to her face and at her be-
hind her back. Her name is mentioned
lightly and jeeringly at clubs, my daugh-

with profound respect. All speak Of her

of her sex, and has savage way of say.

A Costly Piece of Furniture.

Calcutta letter 10 Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle: The finest and most cost
ly piece of furniture ever conceived was
the famous peacock throne" of Delhi.
Tavernier, a skilliul French jeweler, saw
it, and made computation of its in
trinsic value. He calmly estimated that
its nominal worth. aside from its claims
in an artistic way, was s30,000,00o. 1t
was but feet high and feet broad, but
il was composed of solid gold inlaid with
rare Oriental gems 1t received its name
from the jeweled images of peacocks
which adorned its canepy. This canopy
was also of gold, supported on twelve
gold pillars, and hung all around with a
fringe of pearls. On each side of the
tlrone stood two chuti abs, or umbrellas
,vmbolical of royalty. They were made
of crimson velvet, embroidered with
gold thread and pearls, and were equip
ped with solid gold handles and diamonds
This throne was constructed by Austin
de Bordeaux, at the order of the Emper-
or Shah Jehan, the same enterprising
monarch who had constructed the Tai,
the pearl mosque of Agra and the other
most remarkable monument of archi-
lecture in these parts. The peacock
throne was carried away by the Persian
Nadir Shah, willie the jeweled ceiling
was melted down by the Mahrattas at
the time of their invasion in 1853. This
ceiling was valued at about SS50000.

who has been a foreman of hands at

circumstances at SO Jackson street. An
Avalanche reporter yesterday had curl
osity TO see the man who had drawn the
$4,000, 20 he repaired to the corner OF
Nam and Jackson streets and inquired of
some children where Dorsey lived.
"You mean the man that drew the
lottery prizei" asked one OF them.
Yes" replied the reporter.
"He's moved away. He used to live
in that little house over there. but he's
goin' TO five in fine house in Fort Pick
ering now"
The reporter greatly msrveled and
went to the house pointed out TO him,
and asked man there if Dorsey still
lived there.
"No," was the reply. "You see he
drew part of the big rize in the Louisi-
ana State Lottery, and he wants more
stylish quarters. He's got the money
and guess he's happy. wish ! was in
his place, that's all.
Mr.. Dorsey is said to be a man in ev-

the formidable fortress of iron and ma
sonry on Forty-second street, who're last
year the richest nabob in the world lock-
ed up his $200,0O0,0O0 in stock, bonds,
and other securities. 1t is one of the
most redoubtable works of defense on
the American continent, though you may
not be entirely certain of that by survey
the building from the outside. Its found
ations are blasted out of the rock; the
front wall is Ave feet in thickness, and
the side and rear walls are three feet,
the material ~ 4 being pressed brick
with brown At Lc trimmings. The beams
girders, and main pillars are iron, incas-
ed in fire proof material. The doors,
window frames, and minor partitions are
iron, marble, and glass.
No wood is to be found in the struc-
ture. The great vault is 36x42 feet, of
wrought iron, steel, and Franklinite iron
and is situated on the ground floor. It's
four outer doors weigh $500 pounds each
and have every effective and known i'm
prevement in defensive devices. A mas
sive wall OF masonry surrounds the iron
work. The vault which is burglar, hre
and water proof constitutes a distinct
building in itself. The armed watch
men who guard the building day and
night are under the strictest discipline,
their hourly movements being recorded
by an electric clock connecting with var
rious points on each floor ofthe structure
and there are also wires running to po-
lice headquarters and the Offices Of the
district telegraph. In one corner of this
great vault, behind heavy iron bars, are
the heavier iron doors OF the works con-
tanning the Vanderbilt securities, which
can be opened only by skeleton keys
held by the owner alone.

he has added over $12,O00,OO0 to his for

a poor year Thus rapidly does the stu

enlarge. Nothing like such growth of
any mans wealth was ever before known
in the world. Every year, in the nature
of things, the growth increases, 20 that
the estimates of the best informed men
is that by the year 1890 he wal be able
to Iile up $306,000,000 in his great iron

A "HOSS" ON HIN.
How u Country Editor was Entertained
by n Daily Man.

Mr. Harvey Glidden, editor of the
Fennel,ville Watchman, visited the city
the other day, and upon assurance of a
half-rate advertisement, which for some
time had been running in his paper at
top of column, next the reading matter,
he registered at the leading hotel. The
next mornings paper contained . very
hattering notice of Mr.. Glidden, and as
he had not called ON the editor Of the
daily paper, having been busy among the
merchants in an effort to convince them
that few squares of advertisements in
his paper would turn the great trade of
Fennellville into their establishments, he
felt highly elated over the unsolicited
encomium
"Ah," he unused, "that fellow has
taken notice of my writings, and that is
why he says possess one of the bright
est journalistic minds in the state. l

"Come in," said the daily paper editor,
browsing among pile of newspapers in
a search for his shears. "Sit down."

movement of impressive grace. "Pd
