How a Poor YOungster Came Into Posses.
sion of n Baronetcy and Fortune.


A few days ago there sailed for England
young man whose career would furnish
materials enough to construct a romance
out of. His father was a younger son OF
good family, and related collatarally to a
Baronet of old descent, living on a val.
uable estate IN one of the Midland coun-
ties. He was somewhat wild in his youth,
and clever amateur actor. A Junior
clerkship was procured for him in the
Treasury, and he used to spend as many of
his evenings as he could in one or other of
the theaters, where he fell in love and mar
ried pretty ballet-girl, whose father was
the stage doorkeeper, and whose mother
was the wardrobe woman in the
theater from which her husband took
her. The union gave great offense to his
friends, who found very little difficulty in
prevailing on him to quit England and go
out to Australia, accompanied by his wife
and furnished with the sum of FIVE hun
dred pounds over and above their passage
money. During the voyage a son was
born them, and a serious disaster befell the
child's father. He accidentally fell down
the hold and injured his spine so severely
that he was bedridden from that time
forth. He fingered for a twelve month
after his landing and then died. His pro-
Tacted Illness had exhausted his resources,
and his young widow found herself worse
than penniless-somewhat in debt af-
ter paying the funeral expenses. But she
was brave little woman, and soon OBJ
tanned On engagement at the Theater
Royal, under her maiden name, aud was
able TO maintain and give a tolerable ed
ucation to her boy. She died of cancer
before he was seventeen, and his life since
then-which was about five years ago
has been one OF vicissitudss. Lattsrly he
had been acting as waiter at one OF our
restaurants, where a certain inherited ele-
gance of manner and refinement of accent
on his part have often caused me TO specu-
late as to his history. By chance I had
the opportunity of rendering him a trifing
service, which encouraged his confidence,
ana ne told me his personal history. A
Few months ago, glancing down the adj
vertislhg columns of the Times, noticed
one inquiring for q missing heir,
and the particulars given seemed to
tally with those of his own nnrra-
tive. called his attention to it, and the
result was the opening up Of a correspond
ence with FIRM Of solicitors in Lincoln's
nn-felds, followed i'm due time by a re-
mittance from them and the information
that he had succeeded to a baronetcy and
$4,000 year. No less than three YES had
stood between him and it when the old
possessor Of the title died, but these had
all been removed by accident In the short
space OF eighteen months. One had been
drowned while bathing near Mt Agnall, in
Jersey; second had slipped into q Gre

Several days ago two Oakland sports
were hunting quail in San Pablo Canyon.
Becoming tired and hungry they sat down
by the creek and proceeded to take lunch.
While quietly refreshing the inner man
they were suddenly startled by a crash in
the bushes just above their heads, and in
another instant O large buck bounded
into the creek almost at their side, sprang.
across and disappeared in the bushes ON
the opposite side. AT the heels of the deer
appeared California lion. Upon seeing
the men, he halted. One of the hunters be-
gan to shin up the nearest tree Mt a lively
rate, the other blazed away with hfs shot
gun and promptly took to the words. The
hon was now as thoroughly frightened as
the deer had been, and 1t hastily departed.
1t was general scare all around, and it
was difficult to say which was the most as
.onished at the sudden meeting on the
banks Of the creek-the deer, the hunters
or the lion.

Mr.. Pickle is a man of high and If
reproachable character AS lawyer
he stands in front rank OF the PROBES
sion.
His attainments in scholarship are
considerable. He is in the prime OF
life, thoroughly in love with his pro-
fession, and will not fail to prove him
self worthy OF the honor which the
Supreme Court has bestowed upon
him.
He is native of Knox county, and
belongs to one of its old substantial
families. At very early age he en-
listed in the Confederate army, and
was faithful and brave Soldier.
Captured in action, he was sent to
Johnson's Island, and endured term
OF imprisonment, from which he
emerged with seriously impaired
health,
At the close of the war he went
temporarily to Indiana, where he stud
led law under the Hon. Daniel w
Voorhees,. Returning to Tennessee he
completed his studies in Knoxville
and entered upon the practice.
He is now resident of Jefferson
county. His practice has been prin
cipally in that county and in Sewer
Cooke, Granger and Hamblen. H,
has been exceptionally successful
He is an unusually close student anC
a man Of utiring energy. His minC
is clear and discriminative.
Tenacity of purpose, pesitiveenes
and aggression are prominent traits 0
his character.

nit his qualifications for the place, an,

ton OF the court in electing him t.
