FOREIGN GOSSIP.


 exile from her native land, with the charge of forgery hanging over her head. which will effeScually prevent her from returning to her accustomed haunts and lifelong friends, it may be well to mention the fact that popular sympathy is to great extent with her rather than with her husband whose appearance and behavior in court full ly confirmed his reputation for being an irresponsible crank and entirely unfitted either for society or for mat rimony He is like his brother Cris topher, very tall, with his gray hair closely cropped, and so frightfully ner- vous and deficient in memory, so pe- culiar looking, with his sleepy eye lids and his dropping lower jaw, that he conveyed the impression of being very much akin to an imbecile.
 Indeed, it was evident from his tes- timOny and from his behavior that he was a man impossible to get along with, and under the circumstances Lady Sykes deserves a good deal of indulgence, since she was practically married to lunatic. It is pleasant to note that she was not deserted by her family, her brother, MT. Cavendish Bentinck, who is married to Miss Liv- ingston, of New York, and is broth er-in-law of Mrs. Ogden Mills, having accompanied her into court and re- mained by her side. Her son, too, was with her, and takes her side alto gether against his father. The latter it is hardly necessary to say, is utter ly lacking in that chivalry which re- Quires of a man to defend the woman who bears his name, and unmindful rNE <.f,r, Ii its own nest.
 The medical authorities having fin ally come to the conclusion that there is absolutely no possibility of the re- covery of the new Earl of Sefton, who through an injury to his spine and head, sustained in steeple chase, is both crippled and insane, Lord and Lady Newport have at length given their sanction to the marriage of their third daughter to Osbert Molyneux Lord Sefton's next brotehr and heir. As long as there is any chance of the Earl's recovery they would not hear of the match, since, in that event, Osbert MOlyneuX would have been reduced to the impecunious position of younger son, and been as such a detrimental from matrimonial point of view As future Earl of Sefton, with vast es- tateS and the revenues as ground land lord of the greater part of Liverpool amounting alone to near half million of dollars, his position entirely changes and canverts him into a de sirable parti, and therefore the mar. riage was permitted to take place the other day. It is doubtful whether al any time previously the happiness ol a young couple was made to so entire. ly depend upon the misfortune of 2 near and dear relative.
 The bride is an exceedingly pretty girl while the bridegroom is one o1 the most popular men in London. Dur. ing the last two years he has been il much request as a cotillion leader and not only directed the dance at Mrs Arthur Paget's bal poudre last year but likewise officiated as master O. ceremonies at the Duchess of Devon shire's great fancy dress ball. Lort Newport, by the by, is not a peer o1 his own account. but only lord b! courtesy, being the eldest son of tn, fine old Earl of Bradford, who i alarmingly ill, owing to which fac the wedding was very quiet.
 Lord Bradford has during the reigl of Queen Victoria been one of tn, most conspicuous figures on the turf and in 1893 won the sensational derb, with Sir Hugo, who started in the rac at 40 to l. In 1844 he married tn youngest of the exceedingly beautiful daughters of Lord Forester, who sur vived her golden wedding and die, two years ago. In their youth Lor' and Lady Bradford were probably tn handsomest couple of the English ar istocracy. The Earl is exceedingl wealthy, possessing estates in at leas nine counties; was an intimate frien of the late Lord Beaconsfield. and ha
