And in order to establish his identity TO
his own satisfaction at least, he had himself
interviewed by the World on English poll
tics finance, law, justice, and everything
else that he could think OF, excepting the
subject he was most expert in. An assidu-
| Gus friend artfully circulated through the
press paragraphs informing the public what
a fnancier and statesman his much
maligned Grace of Marlborough was.
But the press still persisted in entertain
| ing its original base views of his grace
aud in ventilating them with the usual
| low republican freedom Of speech and die
| ton.
But the duke is good fighter. He got
| even with US by carrying Larry jerome off
with him on a fishing trip that killed him,
and by capturing one of the richest catches
in the matrimonial market an getting
married to her at the mayors office. To
make his revenge complete, he allowed
Mayor Hewitt to kiss the bride, and act
of trucking to the British aristocracy for
which the New York papers have 70 this
day scarcely fms ed Safeguarding the
sturdy old chief magistrate of the Empire
City.
Then he sailed away for dear old London,
don't you know. only to find him elf in hot
water again. The stricter portion of Brit
sh society set its grim face against him aud
his bride. When he went down to bis
historical estate Of Bleaheln, superla
lively righteous minister refused to allow
the church bells to be rung in honor of bis
homecoming, bscau e he had been n di-
vorced man. This immovable censor did
not approve of the MARI ages OF divorced
people, Perhaps it was because his grace

needed consolation. AT any rate, the
rumor went forth one day that Lady
Colin Campbell had been invited to drop
in and make a pleasant social call at Blen-
helm.
"Horrorsln cried society on the feminine
side.
Just like Marlborough's cheek, said the
clubs, grinning.
at Is incrediblem gasped the dukes
mamma 'Wire him at ouca about 1t.
His grace was wired with due speed:
Contradict report that Lady Colin Camp
bell is to come down to Blenhelm."
In reply, the duke telegraphed laconi
cally:
Cant She's here"
There was only one thing left to be done,
and this his graceS mamma, who is lady
Of great decision of character, without any
false sentiment or weak maternal decisions
in regard to her son, did. She promptly
sent his sister and brother-in-law TO watch
him, and his bride went into fever and
sent for the doctors.
Tut, tutn said his grace, when they ar
rived, you're making a great ado about
nothing"
Mamma wished it." said they.
"Well," replied his grace, II suppose it
must go If mamma wishes it. So suppose
you take care of my wife"
But Lady Colin Campbell" they
limited.
"Ah," answered the duke. "rll take care
of her."
Ard he did until she left Blenheim, after
which the duchess promptly recovered and
lad it out with him. And simply because
Lord Colin Campbell sued his lady for
divorce, the name of the Duke of Marlbor

the matter. But so were a good many

may be remembered, did not get his divorce

With these three examples to augur from,
it is scarcely likely that the unsutored
America mind will incline to accept the
vail tina goes up from the stronghold OF
Burkes Pee-age that the rights of the Brit
Ssh aristocracy are being trenched upon by
this radical and irreveren5 age. The arts
tocracy seems to be in full possession of all
its privileges yet. TIE only difficulty is that

press, finds ont too much about them.
