Snubbcd Gently and UnintentionaIIy by
Dukes Gardner.
William Waldorf Astor, the expatrl-
ated American millionaire, who now
resides in London, is the subject of a
lengthy biographical sketch in Tit
Bits, publication issued in the Brit
ish capital. Incidental to the sketch
it is related how the duchess OF Cleve-
land gently set him down on one occa-
sion. When his grand estate Offices
on the Thames embankment were fin
ished he gave a magnificent banquet
to a number of swels. Showing one
of the staircases in the building to the
duchess, Mr.. Aston is alleged to have
asked:
isn't that handsome, your grace?"
Eyes, it certainly is" replied the
duchess.
isn't it more so than any other
staircase you ever saw" Mr.. Astor Is
reported to have persisted.
At this the duchess back very nat
urall. got up.
"Yes," she said, gently, 81 admire 1t
very much. 1t is much finer than our
old staircase at Battle abbey, which
has been spoiled these 200 or 800 years
by the spurs of those stupid old
knights"
Battle abbey is prohrbly the grand
est old place in England, and COM
pared with Cliveden, Mr.. Astor's coun-
try house, is like a battle ship to a
torpedo boat.
Another story with a similar point
is related in the same skech. Mr.. AS
tor. it is averred, was lost in admlra-
ton of the duke of Westminster's lawn
at Cliveden when he first saw 1t, and.
II is said, asked the gardener:
GLOW do you grow turf like that?"
"well, sir" says the gardener, rub
bling his chin and looking very inno-
cent, you jest sows yer seed and then
'as - called every day for a hundred
years or so. sir"

CHAPTER XII.

Philip took the advice of his cap
tain; he had no difficulty in finding
himself received by hospitable mer-
chant, who had house at some dis
lance from the town and in healthy
situation. There he remained two
months, and then re-embarked a few
days previous to the ship being ready
for sea. The return voyage was fortu-
nate and in four months from the date
of their quitting Batavia, they found
themselves abreast of st. Helena: for
vessels, at that period, generally made
what is called the eastern passage,
running down the coast of Africa, in
stead of keeping toward the American
shores. Again they had passed the
Cape without meeting with the Phan-
tom Ship; and Philip was not only in
excellent health but in good spirits.
AS they lay becalmed, with the islands
in sight, they observed a boat pulling
toward them, and in the course of
three hours she arrived on board. The
crew were much exhausted from hav-
ing been two days in the boat, during
which time they had never ceased
pulling to gain this land. They stated
themselves to be the crew of q small
Dutch Indiaman, which had foundered
at sea two days before; she had started
one of her planks, and filled so rap
idly that the men had hardly time to
save themselves. They consisted of
the captain. mates and twenty men be-
longing to the ship, and an old Portu-
guese Catholic priest, who had been
sent home by the Dutch governor for
having opposed the Dutch interests in
the island of Japan. He had lived
with the natives. and been secreted by
them for some time, as the Japanese
government was equally DESTROYS of
capturing him. with the intention of
taking away his life. Eventually he
found himself Obliged to throw him
self into the arms Of the Dutch, as be-
ing the less cruel of his enc
mics.
