AN AWKWARD ACCIDENT.
1t Occurred to the Dowsger Duchess OF
Marlborough.


New York Recorder
Lord and Lady Randolph Churchill have
given up housekeeping and abandoned the
mansion which they have occupied for so
many years in ConnaHght place. Hence
forth they will reside at 80 Grosvenor square,
with Lord Randolph's mother, the Dowager
Duchess of Marlborough.
The latter is one of the most stately
grandes danes of the British aristocraey,
and only once have | seen her imperturba-
bility shaken. 1t was during the period
when the late duke was Vieeroy of Ireland
and when the Empress of Austria was hunt
ing in that country.
One day, when out driving, the duchess
perceived coming toward her the eQulpage
of the empress. She accordingly ordered
her coachman to pull up by the side of the
road and to wait until the imperial cortege
had passed. AS the empress drew nigh the
duchess arose in her carriage, which was a
barouche, and was In the act Of making a
sweeping courtesy to the Austrian majesty.
when suddenly her horses gave start for
ward, which tumbled the duchess head fore
most into the bottom of the carriage.
1t was an extremely ludicreus spectacle,
and both tile empress and those who were
with her, experienced the greatest difficulty
in concealing their mirth until they were
out of sight.
