Well, another trail woman’s char- | acter 1s gone, shattered past recovery It will all be forgottenin a day or two, but this morning the details ot the Stanhope diverce case are lying | printed on every breakfast table, cir- culating trom hand to hand in every chophouse, whirling over the country Poor Ca- absurd in every railway train. mille Dubois! Poor, weak, little woman. who drew a_ prize life’s lottery, where somany blanks | abound, and then was shallow, shift- less enough to throw it away! This soft, gentle-eyed creature was on the stage in burlesque, and I believe has twanged the banjo and shuffiled the play- house Eng- land. Here, however, it that the Hon. Wyndham Edward Camp- bell Stanhope, son of the Earl of Harrington. saw this lovely, creature and, seeing her lovely, loved her. He loved heras nobly as a_ noble man can and oftered her marriage, which she accepted. To be sure, there was a tradition of a_ theatrical marriage in the family, a former Earl of Harrington having married the great Miss Foote, the peerless Juliet of twe or three generations back. All the same,a_ peerless Ju- liet and an obscure actress of bur- Jesque are two different persons, and this being the case there was some- thing particularly noble and touch- ing in the attitude ot Mr, Stanhope’s mother, the Countess of Harrington, who took her son’s love to heart and called her daughter. The marriage took place in 1877. and Mrs. Stan- hope declares that until within tour months back she has been a true and faithful wife to her liege. Butin a httle matter of this kind four months are as good (or as bad) as four years Like Mercutio’s wound, which had limitations in respect to width and depth, ’twill serve. The tempter came in the shape ot a dashing Irish Lieutenant—another Charles O’Malley or Harry Lorre. quer, no doubt-~a fascinat.ng fellow but unscrupu'ous as Aaron Burr. Last August Mrs. Stanhope was yatching with her husband off Cowes when under pretext of her father’s illness in town, she came to London and met her seducer, Lieutenant Walter Adye. Detectives on the track, a hotel register, servants who identify the parties, the fatal chain ot evidence complete! Poor moth! poo, weak-winged, lght- headed moth! Usually the male cul- prit in these cases escapes with scant censure from society, but under the present circumstances it must surely be that decent people will refuse to remember who Lieut. Adye is when he bows. In fact, I have heard that the Queen will have no further tor his scrvices in the Royal Irish Rifles. But §I help pitying the poor, foolish little actress. It is enough to make the great Miss Foote the peerless Juliet, turn in her grave that another actress should have en- tered the noble house of Stanhope— by virtue otfher own example, as_ it were—and then should have not known how to bear, with dignity and virtue, its blushing honors thick up- on her! The heroime of this wretched dra- ma is appearing nightly upon the stage ot one of the theatres, but on- ly those versed in the history of Lon don footlights recugmze her as the toolish and guilty creature who wronged a man whe paid her the highest compliment a man can pay a woman, that of making her his wife. Peer or peasant, a mancan give no more than his paternal name to the woman he is fond of and se proye to her his behef, with Tennyson, that hoedown on the various stages of America, as well as was is use can’t true hearts are more than coronets and simple faith than Norman blood.

I had lately the pleasure to enjoy | an interview with the great singer at her lovely residence, No 1 Morton Gardens, Brompton road, Kensington. It 1s a great big house with a generous coartyard and a cov- ered pathway leading through it from the street. I rang the bell and presently the door was opened by a flunkey in all the glory of pink silk stockings and lavishly powdered | wig. He leads the way into an anti- room atthe rear end ot the hall. in which I am asked to wait. Aiter an interva! of five minutes the iean and long flunkey returns with a request to step into the drawing-room. Turning to the right I am_ ushered into a large apartment, probably thirty feet square, furnished in the prevailing tints ofred. I have scarce- ly time to note the surroundings when a door opens and a well-dress- ed, bald-headed little man, with a snip of whiskers under each ear and a well trained moustache under his hook nose, came in. This 1s Otto Goldschmidt, composer and conduc- tor, ‘*Madame will be down ina mo- ment; please take an easy seat by the window, you are uncomfortable there, and without waiting for a_re- plv, begs to know if I have noticed a portrait in oil hanging over the man- telpiece. I should like to tell you about Jenny Lind and what she looks like, but yeu will have to he satisfied with a few general statements. From the crown of her wigged head to the sole of her No 5 shoe there is not one line of grace orbeauty. Her form is angular, her face hard and her eyes dull and passionless, teatures irregu- lar and out of harmony, and it seem- edto me thatone ear was a little higherthanthe other. Her hands are large and vulture-shaped, her breast flat and painfully monotonous and the stiffness otf her knees was amply indicated beneath her mea- gre skirts. She had just been driy- ing and had thrown off her hatin the hall, and if she would look pretty at any time one would have been un- der such circumstances. The air outside was fresh and crisp; the sky cloudless, and a warm spring sun in full splendor. However, atmosphere seemed to have no beneficial effect upon ‘‘madam,’’ who, if possible, looked ggrayer, harsher and more colorless by contrast with the beauty of nature outside. Now, I will not try to present Jennie Lind in any exaggerated form to my readers. It was a wild unrestrained imagination which induced some recent writer to speak of her as beautitul. She must have sung to him as the sirens did te the sailors of the east,until their senses were charmed away, the one ot hear- ing alone remaining to fill the offices blindly for all the rest. When he made the statement that she was beautiful I can readily imagine he was still under the influence of her devine voice. Found in a Pine Log. New Orleans Picayune. A tew days ago, as the employes of the Jacksonville saw mill, at the head of Poland street, were running saw-logs through the mill. cutting telegraph poles, the circular saw came in contact with some substance considerably harder than the wood, causing a greatnoise. The saw ran through, and when the plank droped otf a black object was seen imbed- ded in the wood. One of the men took an axand struck it a hlew un- der the impression that it was an iron spike, but the ax glanced off, and on examination it was found to be an:ron shell. The shell was pri- ed out and found to be an eight-inch spherical with the percussion cap still in the anvil. The relic was placed i in the office of the saw-mill, where quite a number of persons have ex- amined it.

The son of a nch widow near Par- is, while watching tor burglars who had stolen many of his mother’s jewels, was surprised at midnignt to see his mother stealthily approach- ing the Jewel-box. She wasa som- nambulist, and had been transferring her own jewels to an unused cabinet where all the missing ones were found. Sallie Craig, of Sioux City, being unable to determine which of hertwo lovers would make the better hus- band, suggested a fist-fight between them, the winner to take her as his bride. About sixty people were on the battle ground, among them being the girl. The seconds stood with cocked revolvers in hand, and warn- ed everybody not to interfere. The men, John Points and William Moss. used fists, heels and teeth. The fight lasted fifty five minutes. Points strength entirely gave out, and then Moss stamped upon his prostrate foe crushed his breast and fractured his skull. She spectators then over- powered the seconds and dragged the men apart. Poimts was dying when picked up, and soon expired. Gov.
