Badly Rusted Coronets.

Disgraced and blackguard peers are
now quite strong body in England,
says the Chicago Herald. One Of the
Irish earls, who was corporal in the
Life Guards before he succeeded to his
title, did six months Of hard labor for
some breach of military discipline.
Another peer, an English one, and the
son of a lord high chancellor, can never
show his face in the house of lords
again. He committed a disgusting
crime. He has dropped his title and
lis now clerk to firm of auctioneers in
Australia. The marquis of Aylesbury
still affects his costermonger suit on
odd occasions, and likes to make bet
that he will sell a barrow of green's as
quickly as any hawker in Whitechapel.
By the way, it is interesting to note
in the peerage for 1891 that the march
