FLLENBoRoUGH's PLATE.
The famous silyer-gilt dinner.seryice,
which was presented to the late Lord FL
lenborough when he resigned the oiiiceof
Governor General of India, has been
purchased by the Maharajah Of Johore,
and it is to be dispatched to India in
few days. The service consists ofthir-
teen decorative pieces, all profusely
ornamented and admirably executed.
There are also two candelabra, flower
vases. dessert. stands, and number OF
plates.
WHY RADICALS ARE UNHAPPY.
As almost every member Of the
Cabinet is either peer or peers rels-
tive. it may be well to keep in mind
what our peers and their relatives have
received from the State between 1889
and 1854 Dukes, c9.7G0, 900; mar
quises, Gs,305 $50; earls. eis,lSl,-
202. These are large sums, and AS
suredly no ten thousand families Of
those who are not peers have received
one-hundreth part of this amount. II
may be an excellent plan that the exec.
utiye should be in the hands OF the
aristocracy, but cheap it is not. These
Brahmins know how 10 take care of
themselves and their relations.
NOT THAT DoLGoRoUKI.
notice that Princess Lilli Dolgo-
rouki is announced to play the violin at
the Westminster Aquarium next month,
and that some imaginative individual
has jumped at the conclusion that the
lady is a daughter Of the morganatic
widow Of the Car Alexander iii. She
is nothing Of the sort. The players
real name is Lola Cazmas, and she is .
Spaniard. While fulfilling public en-
gagement in Germany she attracted the
notice of q Prince Dolgorouki, who
married her. They are now. believe,
separated, and the yiolinist has very
wisely resumed the exercise Of her pro-
fession.
WALES'S WINNINGS.
hear from a member Of the National
Casino at Buda Pesth that the winnings
of the Prince Of Wales there during
his recent stay in the hungarian capital
amounted to sum approaching half Q
million forms. When the Prince paid
his former visit to Hungary he good
naturally expressed hope, after win
ming 100 900 forms, that he would soon
be able to give the losers their revenge.
This hope he has now reiterated, and,
no doubt, ere long we shall hear Of his
taking another flying visit to the capital
of the Magyars, Of which he is becom-
ing very fond.
THE FATE OF HOLLAND HOUSE.
In the ordinary course Of nature the
reign, of Lady Holland at Holland
House must some day come TO an end,
and, as her Ladyship has no "chick
nor child " to succeed her, the question
has arisen /" What neyt?" or, rather,
"Who next?" This knotty point,
however, | arm told, has been settled
by family arrangement, as to the pro-
priety of which all the world will agree.
Lord Leicester has bought the reyersion
OF the property, and | believe that
he has no intention whatever Of pulling
down the historic mansion, which so
long formed the headquarters Of the
old Wing party, and which MacaalAy
and Sam. Rogers rendered so famous,
though possibly he may consent to sell
some of the outlying parts Of the park
or gardens for building purposes. II
is not, perhaps, generally known that
the first Lord Holland and the first Lord
Leicester were brothers.
SOME ANCIENT SILVER.
People with mania for Queen Anne
plate will have the opportunity Of OBJ
tanning some very fine specimens of the
silversmith's art of that period at the
sale Of the late Lord Huntingdon's
family.plate, which takes place in Dub
lin this week. There are also some
apostle and rat-tail spoons, which will
make the connoisseur's mouth water.
1t was hoped that the present
sale might have been svertsd, but this
was found impossible. IL is sad pity
that an old family collection, tho pro-
perty Of one Of the oldest earldoms in
the kingdom-one Of the three "cat-
skin" earls-should be thus dispersed.
Cynics laugh at the idea Of broken
heart, but poor Lord Huntington, best
and kindest of men, died Of nothing
else. His appearance before the official
receiver last spring was his death blow,
and on his return TO Sharavogue he shut
himself up in his own rooms, and three
weeks later was dead man.
THE BRUNSWICK SUCCESSION.
81 hear from an authoritative source
that the Brunswick-succession question
is likely to be soon settled in . SONIC
what unexpected manner. The friends
ofthe Duke Of Cumberland, seeing that
all his chances are gone unless he will
consent to make concessions, have adj
vissd him to adopt the following course :
From remote times it has been the
custom Of the House Of. Guelph to di.
vide the family possessions among the
sons in equal portions. For the. eldest
to take the greatest share IL
comparatively recent family AZ
rangement. The plan now suggested ID
that the Duke should abdicate the
Duchy Of Brunswick Cor himself and
his eldest son, Prince George William,
and his descendants, in favor Of bis
second son, Prince Frederick William
but he will still retain all his rights q
to Hanover and otherwise. Under this
arrangement, if carried out, the Duks
is to leave the trustesship of bis second
son to the Emperor Of Germany; but
understand that though the arrange
msnt is receiving his consideration h
