r ONDON. Aug. l7-when Brit
ish peer mawes an American
woman Il is assumed as a mat
ter OF course that he viii have
money enough TO crafty his most eN-
ravagant tastes for the rest Of his
days. But In the case OF the Earl OF
Essex, at least, that expectation has
not been fulfilled 1t was II years ago
that he married as his second wife the
beautiful Miss Adeln Grant, daughter
Of Beach Grant OF New York. What
was her fortune is not known, but
whatever it was 1t Is a lamantable fact
that his lordshlp Is now hard up.
TO such straits has the earl been re-
duced 10 procure ready cash that he
has just sold one OF the three church
livings TO which he has the right Of APP
pointing an incumbent He inherited no
less than three Of these common appen-
dages of the English nubillty-one at
Watford, his residential estate. anoth-
err IN Essex and a third in Warwick
shire. 1t Is the former with which he
has parted. 1t Is an extremely valua-
Bile one the income amounting TO no
less than $4,000 a year and as Is usual
~ the case where a rector gets big pay
in the Church Of England he is re-
CURED to do very little for the money.
The occupant Of the Watford ylcarage
is an old man and unless he violates
some ecclesiastical law he cannot be
deprived Of his snug billet while he
lives. 1t is the right of appointing his
successor that the Earl of Essex
has transferred for cash con-
sideration. That so many members
of the nobility who, as rule, are by
no means conspicuous for their piety,
should possess such rights, and be priv
ileged TO barter them for gold const-
tutes one Of the greatest scandals OF
the English church. But when a peer
gets hard up he does not let such con-
siderations worry him, And traffic In
church llylngs Is recognized as per-
fectly legitimate and lawful form OF
business.
SOLD TOLL" RIGHT.
The Earl Of Essex has also sold an
other Of his ancient rights at Watford-
that Of eXacting toll" of all who enter
the town to sell agricultural produce.
This additional evidence that he is in
financial difficulties has evoked many
expressions Of sympathy from the peo-
pie OF Watford with whom because OF
his sporting tastes, he Is exceedingly
popular But 1t Is matter of COM
mon gossip In society that the countess.
perceivng well what such indulgence
is leading to, does not approve OF II,
and In consequence things are not run
Ming With perfect smoothness between
them. The fact Is the earl, who is
now only Al, got his early training in
a very bad school--the guards. In that
famed regiment scions Of the nobility
seldom take soldering seriously, but
they do learn how to go the pace"
so well and thoroughly, that they find
II hard to draw rein when retrenchment
becomes necessary.
Serious financial difficulties, as far as
the earl Is concerned, are out Of the
question because his brother-in-law,
Lord Brassey would never allow any
one OF the family to fan on evil times.
II is supposed that the sale of the Wat
ford rights win be the end of the
earls commercial transactions as far
as his estates are concerned.
PICTURESQUE AND HISTORIC.
Glenveigh Castle, Mrs. Adairs home
in picturesque Donegal witnessed at
one time and another some Of the most
violent and some Of the most pathetic
scenes in tho history Of the land war
In ireland. IL was protected by police
from the violence Of AN Infatuated
peasantry, who came 20 protest against
eviction II looked down on famshed
women and children obliged to sleep by
the roadside But now all this is chang
ed, and The O'Grady who owns the
place lives securely In London. The
presence OF Mrs. Adair is much more
agreeable to the peasantry than was
that Of their landlord. She spends
money there which the landlord never
did. During the fishing season, money
Is not only freely distributed
but food too, 10 the poorer people.
When Mrs. Adair took the place a year
or go ago 1t was suffering from a state
Of neglect. Employment was provided,
however, for number Of people in
the neghborhood and during August
and part NJ september distinguished
folk from an parts OF the world come

surplus catches instead Of being sent
