An Astor and 8 Vanderbilt Have Prac.
ticaily Quit This Country.
BY a strange coincidence two repre-
sentatives Of the wealthiest Of Ameri-
can families-families that used to be
antagonistic, but now are friendly
sailed for Europe from New York re-
Gently, with the purpose practically
Of expatriating themselves. William
Waldorf Astor had been in New York
city just a week.
Something that Mr.. Astor said or
did caused the report to be spread
about the clubs and in business cir
cles that when he departed from
America he departed for good, and
very likely would never return, ex-
ccpting under stress of business
engagement. Exactly what the chief
influence which led to this determine
ton of repatriation was nobody
seems to know. At one time it was
thought to be anger at his political
failure. But that is impossible, since
his failure to be elected member of
congress occurred some time before
he was nominated minister to Italy
by President Arthur. The reasons
probably are partly social and partly
family ones Mr.. Astor is said to be
very much pleased with his experience
as a newspaper magazine publisher,
and stories were told of his intention
very greatly to enlarge his editorial
investments.
William K. Vanderbilt, who sailed
on the same day will, it is believed,
spend hereafter very much of his
time in Europe. He does not propose
to expatriate himself so completely as
Mr.. Astor does, but he has given over
his New York and Newport houses to
the use OF his wife, has settled a large
sum upon her and it is now clear that
there is to be voluntary if not legal
separation. He reserves for himself
luxurious and yet after all compare
lively modest apartments in the
Metropolitan club, keeping them year
in and year out for his use whenever
he happens to visit New York. But
his friends think his coming viii! 10
as infrequcnt and his stays as brief,
perhaps, as are those of James Cor
don Bennett.

The Laughing Jackass.

A remarkable bird of the kingisher
species is the Laughing jackass," Of
Australia, by which name it is known
because of it's strange look and pecu-
liar utterances. A very good idea of
this feathered wonder is given by an
Old bushman, the late Henry Wheel
wright.
about an hour before SUNRISE" says
Mr.. Wheelright, "the bushman is
awakened by the most discordant
sounds, as if a troop of fiends were
shouting, w%hooping, and laughing
around him in one wild chorus; this is
the morning song of the laughing jack
ass, warning his feathered mates that
daybreak is at hand. At noon the SANE
wild laugh is heard, and as the sun
sinks into the west it again rings
through the forest. I shall neve for
get the first night I slept in the open
bush in Australia. It was in the Black
forest. I awoke about daybreak, after
q confused sleep, and for some minutes
I could not remember where I was,
such were the extraordinary sounds
that greeted my ears; the fiendish
laugh Of the jackass, the clear, flute
like notes of the mag-pie, the hoarse
cackle of the waffle birds, the jargon
of focks of leatherheads, and the
screaming Of thousands of parrots as
they dashed through the forest, all
Joining in the chorus, formed one of
the most extraordinary concerts I have
ever heard, and seemed at the moment
to have got up for the purpose of well
coming the stranger to this land of
wonders on that eventful morning. I
have heard it hundreds of times since,
but never with the same feeling that I
listened to it then.
s'The laughing jackass is the BUSH
mans clock, and being by no means
shy, of a companionable nature, a con-
slant attendant about the bush tent
and a destroyer Of snakes, is regarded,
like the robin at home, as a sacred
bird in the Australian forests"

Over HIS FAIR CLIENT.

Own Life.

Lawyers are ordinarily supposed 70
be cold-blooded and cautious, but Eu-
gene Carre. the Paris advocate who
saot himself in consequence of q do
mestic scene Of exceptional vivacity,
must have been otherwise constituted.
While pleading in the divorce court the
cause OF a lady who wa struggling to
get out Of the matrimonial cage he fell
III love with her.
She was so moved to admiration by
the e%loquence of her advocate that she
had hardly hreathed the air of free
dom again before she married him. She
had q good fortune and he had a first
rate practice. They were both we'll cal
culated to shine in society by the
sprightliness and Partisan tone Of
their conversations and they became ia
miliar and notable figures in literary
and political salons.
Nine. Cares appearance was re-
markable. She was still young, but her
hair had turned white. She looked like
a youthful marquise poudree of the last
century. She received her friends twice
a week, and IN the afternoon cf the
tragedy her salon was as full as usual.
At length she took leave of her last
visitors. Among these was a lady who
had called to see her privately. She vas
greatly agitated. She was the wife OF a
gentleman between whom and Maitre
Care a duel had been secretly ar
ranged, and she had resolved to tell
this to Nine. Carre, with the hope that
she might stop the hostile meeting.
But what is it all about?" asked the
lawyers wife.
about me-" replied the visitor.
"Oh!!" Presently Nine. Care walked
into the room where she knew her hus-
band was, and the conversation soon
became extremely animated. M. Care
was heard to say: Nothing then re-
mains but to die??"
Nothing" replied the lady as she
rushed off to her own room with the
intention of poisoning herself. This de-
sign, however, was frustrated, and the
report of a pistol brought her back to
the room where she had left her hus-
band. A friend entered at the same
time.
M. Care was still standing, al
though. the blood was pouring from a
bullet wound in the temple. AS he fell
upon the ground his wife screamed, Il
forgive you! l love you!" Then before
her intention was realized she seized
the revolver and fired a bullet into her
own head. She fell l~ifeless, whereas her
husband fingered an hour or two.
One thought is in every mind with
respect to this terrible drama of do
nestle life. 1t is expressed by the words
"HoW Parisian!!"
