A Chance Ion Wilfred Blum.

1t is only the expense entailed by
bringing ones claims and the proofs of
ones descent before the committee of
privileges OF the house of lords that
prevents the dusky-hued Lord Gardner
from taking the necessary steps TO as
sumo his seat in the house of lords as
one of the hereditary Legislators OF the
British Empire. and il is amazing that
neither Wilfred Blunt nor some other
rich and eccentric champion OF the ma
tive races in India should have FUR
nished Lord Gardner with the means of
establishing his right TO his seat In the
house of lords just in the same way
that he furnished all the legal expenses
for the defense OF the rebel Arab Pasha
in the court martial that followed the
insurrection in Egypt. in 1882 Nothing.
one would Imagine. could give Wilfred
Blunt, who is married to the grand
daughter of the poet, Lord Byron
greater pleasure than to see one of the
Eurasian race. which is so despised by
the English throughout India, casting
his vote as an hereditary legislator and
as a peer OF the realm in the house OF
lords.

Married an Emperor's Daughter.

The senior OF these, Col. Stewart Will
liam Gardner, a grandson OF the first
lord, contracted while in India a most
romantic marriage with a native
princess of the house OF Cambay, who
was known in India as the "Hurmoozee
Begun" Col. Stewart Gardner, who was
likewise commissioner Of customs in the
Rajput kingdom of Jeypore, married this
native lady, who was a niece OF the last
Emperor OF Delhi. according to native
rites. and. it is asserted. also secretly
by a Methodist minister. At any rate,
soon after his marriage he became a
convert TO her faith.
During the great Indian mutiny he IN
derwent the most exciting experiences,
and was one moment dashed to a gun
by Amrat Roa and threatened with in
slant death unless he agreed to tight
with his wife's kith and kind against
the English. He refused and escaped by
a miracle, but received no recognition for
his conduct by the British government.
and at the end Of the struggle found
himself a ruined man. He died at an
advanced age. about twenty years ago.
teaNiuB hunOeT OF cnll0Ien, the eldest
OF whom. Alan Hyde Gardner, followed
him to the grave four years ago. leaving
by his native wife Ungan Sheko. a son.
Alan Legge Gardner. who is undoubt-
edly the ifth Lord Gardner. that is 70
say, providing that the marriages OF his
father and grandfather to native women
are regarded as legal. about which there
seems to be no doubt whatsoever.
The present Lord Gardner is as poor
and as dusky as was his father. and
makes his home at the village OF Mo-
mowta Nadrie in the northwest prov
inces OF India. being headman of his viii
lage. and has a number OF brothers and
sisters. one of the brothers having served
in the native Bengal police while an
other is nom commissioned officer in the
Bengal native cavalry, being treated BY
the European officers of the regiment,
not as an Englishman. but as a native.
