The Umbrella Proved Expensive.

Romieu, the famous Partisan wit, was
one day caught in shower and forced &c
seek refuge in doorway of the opera
house. It was o'clock already, and he
had an engagement in the Cafe de Paris
for that very hour. The rain fell in tor
rents. There was no carriage to be had.
He had no umbrella. What was to be
done? While he was lamenting his bad
luck a gentleman with a large umbrella
passed by Romieu was seized with sud.
den inspiration. He rushed out and
grasped the stranger by the arm, and
gravely installed himself under the pro
tecting umbrella.

Without giving the stranger time TO ex-
press his surprise Romieu ratified away
with gossip and anecdote until he had LED

INSTEAD OF blowing out his brains

woman, young, charming, wealthy In
love with him, and IS matter OF course,
an American Any other woman would
have been daxed aud hesitsted, but the
rich young American girl always bobs up
to rehabilitate aud succor a disgraced and
dehased scion OF noble but debt-bur-

Florence Josephine Garner, daughter Of
Commodore Garner Of New York, was
engaged to Gordon Cumming before the

released and they we're married in Lon

hoped that she may not have another
sensation as is likely to happen from .
marriage Under such circumstances. Hit
marriage with rich American girl will
not relnstate Cumming at the Marlbor.
ough, ct the Guards and at the Turf
Club; he will still be out Of favor at
court and be dismissed in disgrace from

these young men ware right or wrong

THE attempt Of Sir Edward Clarke
to put indignities upon the Prince Of
Wales because he was in the position OF
a helpless witness was ignoble, lawyer
like and ungenerous. Lawyers, Of a
certain class, often take unmanly advan-
tage Of witnesses who come before them
to testify to the truth, not TO be bad
gered and bulldozed till they are toe
confused to know what, they
are saying. Under this process, as
was the case with the
conspiracy OF Italians who tried to
swear away the life Of the child wife in
New York, the stolid liar makes the best
witness. The lawyers profess to be able
to kAow when witness is telling the
truth, but the judge and jury cannot
distinguish between a truthful and al
untruthful witness. In the case of tbs
Prince OF Wales the attack Of Sir Edward
provoked sympathy FOR the victim. The
populace cheered him to the echo on his
FIRST appearance after the trial. With
all his faults Albert Edward is very
prince Of good fellows, and under theii
system Of government the English
people cannot do otherwise than hold th'
family Of Queen Victoria and the Hell
Apparent to the throne in high esteem.
