and soon attracted u UNIVERSAL attention.
His escapades were the talk of the town,
and he would have been sent down
sooner than he was if it had not been
for his high family connections. He ell
tertaiued largely and spent large part
of his time in London, going to and
from there by special train. He had alb
sOlutely no idea of the value of money,
a propensity which he inherited from
both his parents. | have seen Lady

a very large amount. His family paid
his debts and bought him commission
in the guards. He was soon known as
the fastest of all the fast men about
town. He was in the Prince of Wales's
set, and "went the pace" as it is called,
faster than any, and he thus had the
honor of figuring in the Satirical book
published rather more than twenty
years ago. and afterwards suppressed,
called ':The Coming K" an allusion
to the prince. The book is now very
scarce, and is written in the style of
Tennyson's 'Idvils of the King" and
the Prince Of Wales. the late Marquis
of Hastings, the turf celebrity, Sir
Frederick tombstone, Lord Sufield,
Lord AyleSford and others of that set

pages. The inevitable fate befelr him,
and he soon quilted the regiment, again
heavily in debt, and retired to the con-
tlnent out of the way of his angry cred
itorS.
There he soon made himself conspic-
uOus by his high play at the tables at
Baden-Baden and Hamburg, and among
other actions he got married. This was
a great blow to his family. and espe-
cially to the Duke of Cleveland, his
great uncle. The lady he married was
some years older than himself, small
and fair, with a complexion of the pink
and white order like wax doll. How
ever, after the lapse of few years his
family thought they had better make
the best Of it, and she came over to
England with him, bringing her son and
daughter, who were the children of
supposed husband of hers, who was
dead, and who had continued in a won
derful manner to keep himself unknown
during his life.
She went to Yorkshire with him, and
was introduced to his fathers tenantry
at the annual tenants ball. and made
herself very merry and agreeable with
her pleasant laugh and broken English.
Whatever influence she possessed over
him was eXerted for his good. But his
gallantrieS did not cease, unfortunately,
with his marriage. On the contrary,
they became worse as time went on,
and continued so until his fatal illness
obliged him to live quietly. Most of his
duelS arose from his relations with
women, with whom he was always a
great favorite. His manners were re-
fined and courtly, he was a perfect
linguist. and his appearance and old
time courtesy caused much to be for
given him.
