An English Scandal.

London Echo.
There has been scandal within the last ten
days which, though not yet taken up by the
the press, has created whisper sensation and
slightly stirred tea circles Colonel Fitz George,
a son of the Duke of Cambridge by his NOR
ganatic marriage, has allowed Judgment to go
against him by default as correspondent in a suit
for divorce by a brother officer There are three
of these young men in the British army, and
they are generally rega1 ded-two Of them were
for some time in .Canada--as rather good and
gallant fellows. Their mother Miss Fairbrother
was very beautiful girl, specially remarkable
for the magnifcence Of her locomotives. when
she attracted the admiration OF the then Prince
George, and has, since the alliance, been remark
able for the loyalty of her love and quiet fem
mime virtues, qualities which have won for her
the respect and regard in private of her royal
relatives. When the late Duke, she often told,
heard of the alliance, he drove to her house in
Bolton street to see her, and when she, with some
hesitation, entered the ROOM asked her brusouely:
do you know who ami" ''Yes, Your Royal
Hghness." Do you love my sonY" Eyes, in
deed" Does he love your II hope So" 'Well,
l am aot SURPRISED. Come and sit near me and
kiss me- Always kiss me when / come, and if
George behaves badly come and tell me-" He
was a most singular old fellow, and used to give
intense amusement to the attendants at ST
Jamess Chapel, in Jermyn street, where he was
to be found in his pew as regularly as at his box
in the opera, where he always accompanied the
singers in an audible hum. When the Clergyman
at st. James, said, ''Let as pray" he always
broke in with. "Certanly-by all MEANS" and
