LORD DUDLEY's TURF CAREER.
PlungiDg on What He Thought was a
Certainty, Regardless of Odds.
From london truth.

AEVfhAbft
During ten years the late Lord Dudley
invariably attended Epson and Ascot on
the great days, and once or twice he was
seen at Goodwood. His plan of betting
was to wait for what looked like a Ger
tainty and then to plunge, regardless both
of odds and Of amounts. He had 10000 on
Gladiator when that horse won the AS
cot cup in 1866. Four years later he
yainly offered to lay e25, 900 to 10000 on
Macgregor for the Derby, but, luckily for
him, nobody would take the bet. Two
days afterward he lost $4,000 on the
poisoned Hester, but this money was got
back the next year on Hannah. In 1872
Lord Dudley won { 10, 900 at EPSON on
Cremorne and Refine In 1873 he WAS not
seen on q race course, as he was at Vienna
all the season; hut from there he teIe-
graphed, on the morning of the Oaks day,
to a friend who frequently did commits
sion for him, desiring that $4,000 might be
put on Marie Stuart for him. The tele-
gram, however, did not arrive till after the
race, at least this was the excuse made bv
the commissioners, who was. shortly after,
concerned in some disgraceful transact
t0ns which sent him out OF society for the
remainder Of his days. In 1874 Lord Dudley
won $1,000 over Apologies Oaks, and
year later he was a large winner over
Spinaway at Epson and over DOneaster
at Ascot, but he lost heavily by Apoogy's
defeat at GOOdwOod. The last time he ap-
peared on a race course was at Ascot.
In 1876. where be was said 10 have lost
over 100000. II is unnecessary to rake up
old scandals, but Lord DEdley always
maintained that he had been shamefully
robbed on this occasion. and that at least
one race during the week had been
cooked" for his especial benefit. He
vowed that the bookmakers should never
get another shilling out OF him, and he
took a last farewell OF the turf after
Petrarch's ineXplIcable defeat by Morn

NOTHING NEW.
Paul Boyton's Joke Annotated over 100
Years.
From he Scientific 1merio1n.

From he Scientific American.
Paul B0yton's recent prank in placing
a dummy torpedo against the British war
ship Garnet in New York harbor brings
TO mind Sergt. Lees attempt to blow
up Lord Howe's flagship, the Eagle, in
the same waters in 1916. He used tor
pedo boat invented by David Bushnell,
afterward Captain in the patriot army.
1t had been tried with success experiment
tally, and gave promise of being useful in
serious warfare. The first opportunity
for such use occurred when the British
fleet took possession of New York har-
Dor. The Bushnell boat was more like
barrel then a boat. 1t was of oak, IRON
banded, and only large enough for one
person. When floating upright the
nayigator's head was little above the
level OF the water. BY means of two force
pumps worked by the occupants feet
the vessel could be made to sink or rise
in the water by forcing water out or in,
and so changing its specific gravity. Its
progress horizontally was governed by
two revolving paddles in front, turned by
crank inside. The torpedo was fast
ened TO the back Of the boat by n screw,
the release of which set in motion clock

| ter the predetermined interval of time had
elapsed, the clock would strike and ignite
the powder.
The torpedo carried by Ice against the
Eagle was charged with 100 pounds of
powder (some say 1870 pounds, and the
clock was set to explode the charge in
30 minutes after the torpedo was placed.
Lee was lowed to the neighb0rhood of the
fleet by party In whale boats, and then
proceeded TO attack the fleet alone. He sue

ship, undecided, and spent a long time
IN vain attempt TO fasten the torpedo to
her bottom with hooks and screws, band

Gle. As daylight approached he was
compelled to leave the fleet and return to
the city. OFF Governors Island be was
intercepted by British barge, when, to
avoid capture, he exploded bis torpedo,
escaping from his pursuers during the
panic which the explosion excited. If the
torpedo had been provided with strong
magnet the strip of iron which thwarted
him would have insured the success Of
his undertaking, and the use of torPedoes
in naval warfare might have been hast

FRENCH DIVORCES.
Who Ties and Unties the Matrimonial
Knots.
From q Paris Letter.

From u Paris Letter.
One of the peculiaritles of the new d.
vorce law is that the bonds of wedlock are
not completely severed even when the
court has granted the divorce. To be en-
tirely rid of his or her chains the party in
whose favor the divorce is pronounced is
required, within the period Of two months,
to cite the other one before the same off
cial who performed the civil marriage be-
tween them. Attendance, Of course, is
not compulsory, but in most cases the
citation is obeyed, and monsieur and
madame appear once more before NJ
lie Marie in the same Sale des Marriages
where they were once pronounced al nom
de In t0j, man and wife. 1t is not unusual
nowadays to witness at the large Partisan
mairies wedding and divorce parties at
the same time, each waiting their turn,
and sometimes there are two or three Oi
each. The former are always In full
dress, the brides in white and with orange
blossoms in their hair, and everybody is
evidently bent on hayinga good time-the
word nOce in French is synonymous for a
wedding and spree. The 'divorcesv also
make it point to put on their best
clothes on such an occasion, but black is
de rJgclT for the lady and the eX-husband
eschews white gloves. Each comes ac-
compauied by two teUOtBS and their
friends and relations. But It is not good
form TO laugh or cut jokes. And they di-
vide into TWO groups, which take places
as far apart as possible at opposite ends
of the room. After few minutes Of wait
ing, during which the divorces" remain
lugubriously silent, NJ. lie Marie makes
his appearance. He wears tri-
cOlOred scarf with gold tassels around his
waist, and the usher shouts out, ''Stand
upp an order which all obey. The Mayor
takes up his stand behind "A long green
table and begins with the marriages
These do not take long, and then comes
the turn Of the divorces" The party
draw up in line in front Of the table, the
four witnesses in the middle, the wife to
the right and the husband to the left Of the
line. The clerk reads the decree Of the
court as rapidly as he possibly can and
then takes up collection, just RS he had
previously done in the marriages. "fOr the
poor Of the ward" This done. the Mayor
says: ain the name Of the law we de-
clare your marriage dissolved by reason
Of the divorce pronounced between vou."
This ends the comedy, and after exchang.
ing ceremouious bows each 20 their own
way, accompanied by their friends.

FAIRFAX COURT House, VA, June L.
The court house structure here was built
at the beginning of the century, while the
Jail was finished only last summer. A
few weeks ago l was told by the Sheriff
that but one person had been locked up in
its comfortable cells since the Jail was
completed, and he had remained only for
few hours. This speaks well for the
present state of morals in Fairfax county.
some people attribute it TO the fact that
no liquor is sold IN the township wherein
the court house is situated. The ancient
records OF court proceedings in the county,
which have taken great interest in over
hauling, show that innocence and tenn
perance did not always prevail here, and
they contain many curious entries, writ
ten out in splendid round hand, with
ink that IS as black after $50 years as if
spread on the page last week or yesterday.
Among other matters coming under the
jurisdiction of the gentlemen Justices
who presided over the County Court was
the schedule of charges to be made by
innkeepers. Here are some Of the rates
that were established on March 20, 1865:

1t would be well if the condition in the
last item of the schedule could be en-
forced nowadays in the country taverns.
On Nov. 81, 1854, the grand jury pre-
scented John COckrell, of Truro Parish,
"for not attending his parish church
within two months last past, to the
knowledge of two of u.s." James Robert
son, of Truro, was presented "for marry
ing the reported granddaughter OF his
former wife to the knowledge of two OF
u.s." Then this remarkable entry is
found:
we present the Surveyor of the road from
Accotlnk to Dogue Run on the back road for
not being IN order agreeablY to the Act of
Assembly in that case made and provided by
Information of John Reardon and William
Linton.
The presentment is copied literally, and
you can draw your own inference as to
whether the Surveyor or the road was out
of order agreeablY to Act of Assembly.
Worse than all, these records show in
disputably that George Washington of
Mount Vernon" was also presented by
the grand jury of Fairfax county for not
keeping bis roads in order. This part of
the record of the immortal Washington
has been overlooked by historians, and it
is with extreme reluctance that | publish
it to the world. The discovery was made
little while before the dedication of the
tall monument, but it has been withheld
until now for reasons that will occur to
every patriot. Whether the charge was
true or false, it seemsto have been hushed
IN, for have found no record of further
proceedings against George Washington
of Mount Vernon. Nevertheless, whether
he was punished or escaped, tue fact re-
mains that the Father of his Country was
actually presented by the grand jury for
an OffeDse against the well being and
order of the community in which he lived.

TO THE RESCUE.
English sparrows Attack and Whip a
Yellow Dog.

From the CAica0o Neus.
The audacious pugnacity OF the Eng
lish sparrow has been written Of time
and again. but no better exomplifcatlon
OF their courage has ever possibly oc-
CURED than was witnessed on Fourth
street last evening. A part Of the old
colony that had for so many years made
their headquarters in the ivy covered front
OF st. PauPs Church emigrated to the
Melodeon building Immediately after the
destruction Of their old home, where they
have been busily engaged ever since in
attending to family duties.
Last evening a half-feathered specimen
fell from its domicile over Wilierts drug
store and dropped into the gutter. A fat
dog OF the genus "yaller," who happened
10 be passing, made grab for the uniOr-
tuuate 'chippie" and Immediately pro-
ceeded down the street nc a $40 lick with
his prize. About this time the fun CON-
menerd. With angry cries and tyitters
the whole solid colony Of "chppies"
gwOOped down upon the enemy. For the
time being the air reallygained sparrows,
aud the way they got their work in on
that dog was caution. They covered
him all over, there was a fash, a dart,
and for each one yelp. They covered
the dog like bees and vigorously worked
their claws and bills. The prize was
dropped aud the dog flew for h0me-if he
had any-hut, alasl the battle was for
naught, the little one was dead.
