and rake, NO lady would ever dare to be
seen speaking TO him, much less re-
oeive any attention from him whatever.
The protector Of the pretty Gaiety &C.
tress, Connie Gilchrist, since she was
thirteen! His female friends consist of
women whose names arc unknown in
even respectable, letalone high society,
and his four-in-hand coach at races is
always covered by "lsdies" Of question:
able character only. In short, it would
stamp woman directly to have the
Duke civil to her in any way. This is q
shocking state Of things for y man Of
sixty, whose dukedom dates from 1852,
and whose mobility" on bVr0nial Gre.
alton goes back to 1908.
The Marquis Of Harrington, the Sec
retary Of war in Gladston's Cabinet, il
one Of the most outrageously immoral
men in London. II would indeed he
hard to say how many VILLAS" in st.
Johns Wood he does not keep up, or
for how many slips Of the feet of titled
danes and demoiselles lie has not been
directly answerable. The Marquis of
Huntly has been up in police court for
obtaining money under false pretenses,
and for absconding abroad in order to
defraud his creditors. Two nice char
ges against q nobleman, truly Then, the
Earle OF Aylesford is debauchee and
bare-faced cuckold, his wlfe having for
years under his nose been the mistress
OF the Marquis of Blandford; while
viscount Vaudeville is as confirmed q
drunkard as any to be found frequent
ing the lowest gin palaces. The two
latter noblemen have adopted, it ap-
pears, the United States as their future
residence. I don't think the United
states is to be congratulated upon the
acqmsion. The Earl of Gosford was
short time ago summoned by cab-dri-
yer, and made to pay not only the pal
try fare of five shillings, which he had
refused, but the costs of the proceed
ings, and Viscount Cole acted the part
OF poltroon with Lady Mordaunt, and
had to perjure himself to get clear of
responsibility. These are all can re-
member just now, but they will suffice.
So much for the men, for have re-
versed the rule of the places aux DANES,
and will now mention few of the fair
members of the nobility who are decid-
edly frail also. OF course do not sneak
OF ladies who have become titled only
10y their marriage with noblemen, but
who have been born so, else 1 should
have to include the Countess of Aylcs-
ford, notorious Woman, and the Coun-
tess of Egmont, whose reputation as
Miss Lucy King an carl's coronet has
hardly yet been able to make people
forget.
The daughters of the Earl of Fife--tlle
Ladies Duff arc the sort / refer
to. The carldom of Fife comes
direct from the Macduff immortalizetl
by Shakespeare; yet what are tho CA
reers Of these daughters Of theh ouse {?
All of them great beauties, they are as
unchaste as they are beautiful. The;
earl's eldest daughter. Lady Ann Duff
married Marquis Townshend, and was!
soon afterward seduced by Lord Ernest
Bruce, the marquis giving the af-;
fair publicity. and taking his sat.
isfaction by waylaying Lord
Ernest with two friends ut night, and
giving him a beating! Lady Ida Duff
married Adrian Hope, Esq, and in due
time was seduced by several men of til;
tie, only one of whom Lord William
Somerset-was made correspondent in
the divorce suit which followed. A third
sister, Lady Agnes Duff, IL woman, if;
possible, more beautiful than the others );
married Viscount Dupplin. the man who,
wanted to marry Miss Vanderbilt of
Now York, and, true to her family in-:
stincts. was shortly after seluced by.
Mr.. Flower, with whom she eloped from;
EPSON Downs, during the Derby day.,
The regulation divorce followed, and;
she married Flower.
Then, there is Lady Mary Craven,
daughter of tho Earl of Hardwicke, O,
mistress of the Prince Of Wales while
he was but IL boy. She resembles Mrs;
Mundy in her power of charming men,
much younger than herself. Long since
from her husband, the Prince
of Wales's great friend and associate,
she has been the clere amic of more
youthful heirs to titles than L could
name. She is forty seven. an age at.
which most women have Quietel down,
and LOST their attractiveness to men but.
she still retains her peculiar powers of
fascination to al lndimini,alcd degree
The Earl of Dudley, though one Of the;
ugliest men in England, is u sensualist,
Of the most depravel sort, as people we'll
know. His wife, Lady Dudley, tho
great beauty, was hissed by the crowd
when she made her first appearance in,
public with him, after the honeymoon,
the contrast was so marked between the
two. They are called Beauty and thci
Beast" There are one or two instances,
more on tho part of men, which slipped:
my memory when l closed their side of;
the account, and which let us add to the
list. Tho Earl OF Cardigan. the leader
of the famous charge of tho Light Brig
ade, distinguished himself in early life
by seducing tho wife of Mr., johnson,
whom, after divorce, he married: and
the Earl Of Clare (a title now extinct)
his countess before marriage,
and while she was the wife of Mr..
Moore, the offspring l,eing daughter,
who is now the wife of the present Earl
Of Kimberly, the secretary for the Col
onies. The earl's eldest son and heir,
Lord Wodehouse. it may bc here OBJ
served, is low minded s,endthrift, his
eagerness to obtain money to supply his
insane squanderings having led him into
thc commission of forgery on several oc
pasions-little derelictions which his
fathers influence has been able to hush
up. Though married man, he lives in
his allowance from his father
being paid to him in weekly sums of
twenty pounds, it not being considered
proper to trust him with larger sum
1t one time.
Tho employees at the Dry Dock Saw
mill at Mobile were badly frightened
The other day by blaze of fire suddenly
log that was being ripped
in two. When the machinery was
stopped it was found that the teeth were
all knocked off the saw. On cutting
into the log II six inch iron shell was
found near the center. The tree from
Which the log was taken grew in tho
