Lord Drummond Tarns Up as a Porter in a New York Shipping House. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from New York, May 20th, says:—At the in- stance of a lady belonging to a wealthy and re- spected New York family, an old friend of the Lady Capel—whose name is withheld at her re- quest—the Press correspondent has been en- gaged for some time past In an investigation as to the whereabouts of Lady Capel’s son, Lord | Drummond, heir to the earldom of Perth and | Melfort, and a kinsman of Queen Victoria, who | eloped ‘to America with his governess twelve years ago, thus incurring the resentment of his noble relations. This scion of an ancient house | was found to-day working as a porter in the Broadway clothing house of Earhart, Whitford & Co. A young man, coatless, heated and with col- | lar loosened, came forward and extended a big, | brown, toil-stained hand. ‘You are Lord Drummond, I believe ?” said the reporter. “Tam,” said he, a little surprised, but in no- wise disconcerted. He was fully six feet tall and splendidly built, had a tinely shaped head and full, regular features, with closely cut light hair and mustache. His story, as gathered from himselt and other sources is as follows: George Essex Montifex, Lord Drummond, only son of Malcolm, Viscount | Faith and the Lady Mary Capel. niece of the earl of Essex, was born September 3d, 1856. At twelve years of aze he was an orplian inthe care of his grandmother, the countess of Perth and Melford, who confined his education toa nursery governess, named Harriett Harrison. Possessing the entire confidence ef her master | and mistress, the governess and her ward were much together, without exciting suspicion. When it was learned one morning that they had | mysteriously disappeared, the effect was start- Hing. ters were not Improved much when . | the young couple returned later in the day, and Lord Drummond shyly announced that he was married to Harriett, and prayed his grand- father’s forgiveness and blessing. The ancient earl stormed at what he denounced as a degra- dation of the noble name, and angrily forbade his young heir to ever enter his house again. The bride and groom took steerage for America.and arrived at Castle Garden almost penniless. The young Lord vowed never to de- sert his wife or to return to Scotland until he re- turned as Earl of Perth, and his wife wasre- ceived 28 befitted her new rank. He assumed the pleblan name of George Johnson, and went | to work as a shipping clerk In a wholesale flour | house in South street, where he remained work- ing steadily for ubout two years until his em- | ployers collapsed in the panic of 1873. Except | while on a voyage to the West Indies Ina schooner a yearago Lord Drummond hasbeen in , the employ of Earhart, Whitford & Co. ever since, advancing a little, but still half shipping clerk’ and half porter, and eyinelug much more inclination for physical than mental exercises. | The peerage of which the young shipping clerk is next heir antedates the discovery of America. The first Lord Drummond was a distinguished | statesman and ambassador extraordinary to Eng- land. His great-grandfather, the second Lord | Drummond, who married Mararet, daughter of the Duke of Albany, and grand-daughter of King VJ ‘The fourth Lord Drummond, ambas- | sador from King James II, to the Spanish court. was created Earl of Perth.

Correspondence of Tax Evexrxe Star. U. 8. Fracsuie Lancaster, Jorpa, PaLestine, April 9, 1884. Five of us started for Jerusalem on Friday morning, and, as in all traveling in the east there is an Arab guide, or dragoman, who has general charge of the party, we had one, named Mustapha. He did all the talking and bargain- ing; in fact, we could not have done without him. We had a vehicle, called by courtesy a carriage, but in fact a farm wagon, with poor springs and three seats. Starting at 10 o'clock, four of us sat in the wagon with the guide and driver, and one rode a horse. We all took turns tiding the latter, that being a very agreeable change from the jolting of the wagon, which was drawn by three horses. During the first three hours the road was pretty good. but then It began to get very muddy and rocky. About six o’clock we first began to climb THE MOUNTAINS OF JUDEA, and it was up hill all the remainder of the way, with the exception of a few stretches of level Toad; and such roads you never saw. They were nothing but rocks and ruts, and we were Jolted until each eeparate bone felt as if it would part from all the others. This lasted five long ‘weary hours, and then the horses began giving out, so we walked several miles, and then rode awhile. That mode lasted until the horses could pull us no longer, then we started to climb the steepest and last mountain of all. We! cliinbed the hill and tramped along the road, tired and well nizh worn out, when the still- ness was broken by the barking of a dog, and soon a chorus of them was heard, and we knew we were very near the end. 2 THE HOLY CITY. I cannot say how glad we were. Presently} we passed the first house, and then were in the midst ot the suburbs. Then the walls and domes and minarets of the city became distinct, and we were soon at the Damascus gate. A sleepy soldier opened it, and we shortly reached our ! hotel, and our tiresome, tedious, sixteen-hours | Journey was over. While it was daylight the | way did not seem so long; the hillsides, valleys | and roadside were covered with flowers of all sizes, colors and shapes, and the air was laden | with their fragrance. The colors were so be tifully intermingled that it seemed the way was | through an immense flower garde The moun- | tains were nothing but stones upon stones. In| some places they have been cleared away, and terraces formed, where olive trees are growing. Here aud there on the top of some are the ruins of old castles built by the crusaders and Sara- cens, but now crumbling away. WOMEN’S RIGHTS IN PALESTINE. All the women we passed had their faces cov- ered, and seemingly were doing all the work, | except ploughing the fields. Even little girls carry great bundles of wood, or heavy baskets on thelr heads; the men and boys do little or nothing. Our rooms at the hotel were on the roof, and afforded a beautiful view, the Mount of Olives being just in front, dotted here and there with | houses; the Garden of Gethsemane near its base. | To the right and far away were the Mountains of Moab; while the Mosque of Omar is very near by, and all around are the minarets and flat- topped houses looking just as they have done in oppa and Cairo, and it was very hard tc rea- that this was the city I had heard of since I Was a very little bo The first place visited was the CHURCHLOF THE HOLY SEPULCHERE. In front of the church isa large open court, where there are many booths, at which'are sold | rosaries and small crosses of all kinds. The pil- grims buy them, and they are blessed in the dif- ferent holy places. On entering the chureh a colored marble slab is seen, above which many beautiful eyer-burn- Ing lamps are hut Th ab is said to be the | one or which Jesus was laid before being buried. Turning to the left you enter a beautiful ro- in the center of which isa large marble encl » surrounded by lamps, candles, pic- tures and beautiful decorations of various kinds. E room, and from thence you pass through a hole so small that one must “crawl through on hands and knees, thus entering a still smaller room lighted very brilliantly. On the right is a marble | slab, worn smooth and glossy by the kisses of | the pilgrims, it being supposed to cover THE TOMB OF JESUS. A priest is there, and sprinkles every one with | water, and then they crawl out backwards. There were great crowds of people there, and the small rooms were so packed and crowded that it was almost impossible to breathe. In the church near by is MOUNT VARY, and here is shown the hole where the cross stood, and the rift in the rocks which opened during the crucifixion. Near by is the hole where the cross was found by the Empress He- lena. na. woos out of the church, we find the ruins of the OLD MONASTERY OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. It was larger in area than the Patent Office now is, and the ruins of chapel, cells, refectory, sta- bles, &c., are well marked. Under the whole building ts an immense cellar thirty feet deep, with an arched roof. In the olden times It was | case of siege; and, as you know, there were | plenty of them In those days. The monastery fronts on the Via Dolorosa, or sorrowful way,that being the street along which | Jesus was led on his way to Calvary. Walking | along it and leaving the city by Stephen's gate, | | we come to the place wire St. Stephen was stoned. It isa bald, bare rock, on the side of the hill, which is still well covered with loose rocks and stones. Keeping on down the hill we are in the Valley of Jehosaphat, and crossing the brook Kedron, passing some ‘churches, we are at the GARDEN OF GETISEMANE. It isenclosed by a high wall, and is entered by a gate so small that one must stoop to enter it. Inside are half adozen old olive trees tha are at least a thousand years old. The garden is smaller than one would suppose, but is laid | out very neatly, and many beautiful flowers | grow there. A bare spot is shown, where it is Said Judas stood when he betrayed Jesus to the multitude with a kiss. The garden is at the foot of the MOUNT OF OLIVES, which is very steep and high. As seen from the | hotel, it seemed not to deserve the title of mountain; but the vailey between is v and the donkeys we found to bea very help. There are a few houses on the side ofthe mountain, and the road is nothing but a bridle ath. At the top isa little Arab village, and from the top ofa minaret, there isa view em- bracing a portion of the world whose history is better known, and is of more interest than any other,—a land that I have heard of ever since my earliest recollection. The whole story of the Bible seemed to pass before me. Offto the right is THE DEAD SEA, where the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomor- rah once stood, and beyond the mountains of Moab, where Lot fled to escape destruction with them, and from which Moses saw the promised land flowing with milk. and honey, though he could not enter it. There, tov, is THE JORDAN, which opened its waters that Joshua might pass; where Naaman’s leprosy was healed, and where John baptized Jesus. Off to the south is Bethlehem, the house of Ruth, the place where David was crowned, where Jesus was born, and where the babes were murdered on Herod’s order. Close by was Bethany, where Lazarus was raised from the dead. On the other side Jerusalem, with its sorrowful history, now but a shadow ot Its former self—the Golden gate in front opening on the vast square, where stands the Mosque of Omar, apd where once stood the Temple of Solomon. ®Mounting our donkeys again, we went over the hills to BETHANY, a little village with but few inhabitants, the tomb of Lazarus, and the ruins of a church built by the crusaders. The village is built on the side of a hill facing the east, and has many fig and almond trees around it. We returned to the city along the dry bed of the brook Ked- ron, ing by Jacob's well, where we encoun- Anumber of lepers. The poor creatures were scarred and disfigured in every way. Some had no hands, others no fingers, some no noses, others again no eyes, and with horrible fes- tering sores all over them. But what made me was to see a pretty little baby, in its mother’s arms, -wi ible fate awaiting It. The ly disfigured, and before mother | heart’ so completely. | drifted out of Violet’s world altogether, and for | many the poor little baby will doubtless be in the same condition. ~ Passing on up the valley, we came to THE POOL OF SILOM. This Is in a little valley to the left, and ie a deep basin containing water a/coupl¢ of feet deep, and the remains of several pelumps which once supported’a roof over it. The water is ranning constantly, and the surroundings of the pool is one mass ef green, and is a delicious rest from the bold, stony hills and fhe dr¥, sandy valleys seen eleewhere in the vicinity. THE MOSQUE OF OMAR is an octagonal building with a high dome rising from its center. Both outside and in- side it is beautifully decorated with vari-colored mosaics. Betore entering we had to take off our shoes and proceed in‘ our ‘stocking feet. The pavement is covered with large Turkish rags. In the center is a lat circular enclosure containing an immense rock. This stone, by the Turks, Is belleved to be sujpended in the air, tor, say they, when Mohammed started to heaven on his horse, this rock, upon which he had been standing, began to follow him, but was arrested in mid-air b@ Mohammed's order and has remained there ever since. Below it, on one side, is the stone where Abraham offered up Isaac. a THE SITE OF THE GREAT TEMPLE. Below the court yard is an immense space vaulted over; the pillars and arches have every appearance of great age, and it is supposed they were erected by Sotomon to increase the space on the top of Mount Moriah to give sufficient room for his temple. The effect of these columns and arches extending as far as the eye can see until they are lost in the deep gloom Is weird and unearthly beyond expression. BETRLENEM iy six miles or more south of Jerusalem, and the roads, if possible, are even worse than those from Joppa. Out of 5,500 inhabitants, 5,000 of the people of Bethlehem are christians, and the contrast between it and the villages of the mos- lems is very great. Here the houses are new and well built, the streets are clean, and the people bright and intelligent. The Bethlehem women are not veiled; they are singularly beau- tiful, and have a beautiful costume. The dress 1s blue, with vertical stripes of red or yellow; a yellow or green yest, a dark Jacket with bril- Itantly colored sleeves, a square topped head- dress, over which is thrown a piece of white’! linen which flows backwards. A large church stands on THE SPOT WHERE JESUS WAS BORN, and the manger where he was-aid. It contains rooms for many different kinds of services simi- lar to those in the Holy Sepulchre. Here, as well as in the churches in Jerusalem, there is al- ways a Turkish guard present, who serves as a policeman, and is at times really necessary to keep the peace. The different denominations have frequently had violent quarr vhen sev- eral of them desired to hold services at the same time and place. Sometimes men have been Kilied or seriously wounded in the quarrels, but since a guard is present “each denomination has its own time for services.

From the Chicago Tribune, “Avaunt, villain!” The man thus addressed—a powerfully-bullt young fellow of twenty-five years or go, with strong limbs and bright blue eyes that even in this moment of shame and degradation looked unflinchingly Into those of the girl who stood before him in all the regab’splendor of her peer- less beauty of face ‘and figure—started back with a convulsive shuddering movement, from | the effects of which hie frame seemed to writhe as if in mortal agony; andithen, recovering the self-possession which had momentarily deserted him, placed an arm in such @ position that it prevented the outlines of his face from being plainly seen, and stood there like a lion at bay. a a ns rele er ae? Two years before our story begins a solitary horse mackerel might have been seen swimming leisurely across the Atlantic ocean to open the summer season at Newport. And what asummer it proved to be for Violet Caryll! Coming there in all the freshness ot her youthtul beauty she had seemed, in contrast to the habitues of the place, like a lily growing white and pure and stately in a bed of roses from which the early | splendor of areshness had forever fled. With heart unfettered, a mind of unusual vigor, and @ soul as pure and stainless as the life-record of | agirl who has never learned to play the piano, Violet Caryl had met at Newport the man in whose presence she felt for the first time that indefinable sensation of joy—that thrill of supersensitive emotion—which marks the beginning of an epoch in the life of every girl—an epoch which inthe future shall be looked back upon as a time wien all the world seemed filled with sunshine, when every day that died upon the horizon’s purple rim seemed | crowned with the stars of joy—that testal time when Love, warm-lipped_ and glowing, sits en- throned upon the cloud-tipped summit of a soul whose corridors are lighted for the first time by the glorious sunburst of a changeless affection and whose parching thirst for kisses, and car- eases, and low-spoken words of tenderness Is forever quenched by the 1impid, purling stream of a passion that can never die. It was ata fete champetre that Violet Caryl first saw Rupert J. Hetherington, She was standing near a portiere through which the chicken salad and nickel-size sandwiches were soon to be brought, when suddenly her escort, Bertie Ceci!—a young man who hoped to be promoted to the ribbon counter the following winter—observed what seemed to him like a blush pass quickly over her face, and, looking in the direction indicated by her eyes, it did not | take him long to discover that Violet was gazing | earnestly at Rupert Hetherington. “Would you like to know him?” he asked. Violet moved her head slightly in assent, and ke moment later the introduction had taken place. You are from Cincinnati, I believe,” said Rupert, after they had conversed amoment upon ordinary topics. “Yes,” answered Violet. “Then we shall sorely be friends. I once knew a man who lived in Dayton.” “Ah, indeed!” Rupert excused himself, but as he walked away Violet knew, by that subtle instinct which } enables women to tell that there is a fly in the butter even betore they have entered the dining room, that no other man would ever po! And so when th again she was very cordial. It was the old, ofd hump-backed and gray-headed story of friend- ship that grows into love, and before the New port season was ended Violet Caryll and Rupert Hetherington had pM@ehted their troth. + # © & & «© # & Why they had quarreled nobody seemed to kno It was simply given out that the en- «agement had been broken, and soon after this came the news that Rupert Hetherington’s Im- mense fortune had been engulfed in the mael- strom of a free-for-all pacing race. Then he | nearly two years she had been living at Rose- bud Villa, her father’s country seat. Always | fearless of personal danger, she was accustomed to take long walks about the place in the soft June evenings, and during one of them had dis- covered a man forcing his way into that part of the house where the silver and Jewels were kept. It was this man to'whomshe had spoken the words with which this chapter ‘opens. i a ane oa ai * He stood there for a moment, and then suddenly dropped his arm so that his face ‘be- came visible. “You know me, I suppose,” he said. The girl looked at him intently for an instant, and her face became white as marble. “Great God!” she cried. “It is Rupert Hetherington!” “Yes,” he answered. “Rupert J. Hethering- ton, once your promised groom. It is all true. Jam a common burglar. I must steal or starve.” For an instant the girl did not speak. Then she simply said:' “You say that you are poor; that with wealth once more in your possession you ae be honest. Do you mean this?” “T do.” “Then follow me,” and walking before him the girl led the way to a hot-house which stood near by. Entering it. she soon returned and | Charleston, 8. | tween sixteen and twenty years. placedin the man’s hand a small package. “Take that,” she sald, “You can sell it for enough to again place you beyond the reach ef want,” and waving him away with an imperious gesture she turned and entered the house. Ru- pert hastily opened the box, and as he saw its contents a great wave of joy swept over his soul. ‘God bless her!” he murmured; “she has, indeed, redeemed her ‘promise, and with what I shall receive for the contents of this box T may live all my life in laxury.” She had given him a quart of strawberries.— From “A Newport Aquarelle,” by Murat Halsted. ————+o-_____ A DEFAULTING years oy of the residence in CONFIDENTIAL CLERE.—John Cum- ‘old, confidential clerk in the em- RELIGIOUS NOTES.
