 ENGLISH JUDGE AS A CONJUROR.
 Next 10 the lord chief justice of the real, the master Of .he rolls is the highest judicial gnuary in Great brit ain, as well as the most highly paid one. For the master of the rolls, in addition to being the senior of the lords justices of he supreme cCH.t. i- likawisa the keeper cf ihe lil.ional rec ords which date back fer more than q iIhCuslnd years. In fact the master of the rolls is regarded by laymen With even more awe and respect than the lord chief justice himself. The shock may, therefore, be imagined which was received by English people the other dey when. during the course Of a trial, lpresided over by the mas,er of the rolls, and in which the rival interests Of a couple Of professional ccnjUTCFs were involved, the tact was incidentally brought to light that the august digni- tary on the bench, the Righc Honorable Sir Robert Lindiey, was himse-i a con juror Of no mean skill, and ic was sup sequently discovered by further inyestl gation that he is Tn tha habit Of ooca- eionaliy giving performances as q con juror fc? the benefit O. charity.
 There seems to be something intense ly cOmicai in ;hc notion Of one of these impOsing judicial luIninarics, who has i been invested with so much pOmp and dignity throughout the entire day, not only interpreting, buj likewise malI ing, law. subsequently holding forth in the evening &s a conjur0r. and ex,racI- ing eggs from peoples noses. watches from the mouths, and live rabbits from the hats of friends, who had never | Greanlt Of ',f2elr presence there.
 It has since been learned that one Of the judges of the court oi bankrup- 'tcy is q clever and accomplished ven triloquist, who, like the master Of the rolls, occasionally places his services in L S respect at che disposal Of char itabIe organizations. Af5er this no one ! will be any longer surprised to learn that the lord chief justice is adep5 in dancing negro break-downs. or the lord high chancellor skilled cOntortiOnis-.
 
 T die gladly, as now all my doubts as to what has become of my beloved sos, will be solved" These were the last ! words of the aged Grand Duchess Marie of Tuscany, who has just ex | pired a5 her chateau of Orth. on the shores Ct the eXquisitely beautiful Tr1uHsee, in Upper Austria, and they ! pore IeISTtuCS jC HGf la OEtIG SJH, liic Arch Duke John, who. after laying aside bis rank and prarogatives ss an arch duke Of ,he imperial house C. ->us- tro-Hungary. assumed the name Of John Orth,'' and vanished Hysteri- Ousiy from human ken, some eight years ago, while on d voyage from La Plata to Valparaiso.
 The soou old lady would net believe that he vas really dead, and through out the closing years CE her life read with eagerness all the wild and sensa- tional stories concerning his alleged reappea1ance cn the island Of Juan Fernandez, in the ranks Of <he Japa- nese army during the war witn China, in the KlOndyke, and heaven only knows where else besides.
 She would not allow his rooms, his beats, his books, or his papers to be touched. Even his very clothes were always kept prepared for his return. and throughout all these long and weary nights that have elapsed since his so mysterious disappearance there have always been kep, lights burning in his room, and a fire on the hearth ci his mothers homo, in order to wei come the wanderers return.
 The grand duchess had several other sons for whom, however, she cared much less, and oGe Of them. the Arch Duke Leopold, wto is altogether given up to the science Of botany, and to the study Of fauna, has for more han quarter Of a century past made hls home On the Spanish island of MeiOrca, where, according to some, he lives the life of 6 hermit, while according to Oth- i CTS his existence is rc1e on the lines { Of that Of a Turkish pasha. his vast l. c n- i=l. ii hk,ir1 '. ' dC,ted with gorgeous kioscues, devCted | to the use of the members Cf his hayem. l Indeed it is claimed that his alleged voyages Of exploration On board ais yacht, the Nittis, are prime: :pally devot l cd to the collection of suitable recruits , fer his seragHC.

 Hers indeed wcs a tragic life, thor l ougly ia keeping with the relentless fate that seems to dog the footsteps 0f the imperial house Of Hapsburg, 10 whih she belonged. Daughter of King Francis I Of Sicily, who was sa eXec-a- ted under ;he EicknaD:e Of ''RCmba' for his crueEy, she witnessed as g child the sanguinary revolution at Palermo when blood ran like Water in the gut ters of the streets Of that city.
