A curious phase of the Iate Dilke scandal is the sympathy shown the recreant laver by his fiancé on learning the unpleasant revelations. There are so few exceptions to the ordinary tm- pulses governing human nature in such oases that the public was struck dumb with when It read the intelligence that the lady who was engaged to Sir Charles telegraphed her con- dolence to him in his difficulty, and bade him to tmmediately announce their engagement and coming marriage. It is quite probable that no one was more surprised than Sir Charles himself. This lady who has leaped into notoriety tn this unique manner ts the widow of the Mark Pattison, the distinguished author and scholar and rector of Lincoln Collage, Oxford. She is at present traveling in India, ‘she is lady of culture and even brilliancy, and is the uathor of a meritorious work on Renais- sance of Art in France,” illustrated by herself. She has likewise figured as a leader in the wo- man’s rights agitation in England, having acted as chairwoman at their meetings on several oc- casions, She is a daughter of Col. Strong, of the Madras army, who, after having allowed = large fortune {o elip from him through ill-ad- vised Investments, accepted the presidency of & bank In the town of Oxford. He was a man of literary tastes and fond of art, especially pain! ing. “His faunlly consisted of hie wite cad two daughters, the elder of whom married the Rev. Mr. Tuckriell, of New College, and the second of Whom is the present flancé ofSir Charles Dilke. She was then entering her teens. She is described as belng at that times bright, vivacious girl, with a pretty lace and engaging manners. Rev. Dr. James Thomson, a mau of brusque manners: and 4 noted bon-vivant, was rector of Lincoln college at that period. “He had,” says an ex- change; “been Drought up from his country liv. ing and elected tothe headship by a clique of Fellows who were resolved to prevent Mark Pat- tson’s election, because he was nervous and unclubabie, and cared neither for wine, beer, ecards or tobacco, On one occasion, addressing the rosy Emily Frances Strong, who in due time became Mrs. Pattison, and is to be Lady ilke. he pinched ner cheeks and praised their sities, and as he gul jown another lange tumbler of old port—for he disdained the not sufficiently eapacious, wine-glaas—bade her be- ware her elder sister's pallor; which, said this rectorial D. D.,. ‘Ill wager is caused by reading sermons in be At this time Mark Pattison was a country rector, having found it impossible to subinit to the restrictions imposed on bim by Dr. Thom- son, After tho latter's death Pattison was elected rector of Linculn in his place. Miss Emily Strong was now grown to be a beautiful young woman, “iter candor and vivacity,” says the writer quoted, “gained her the reputa- tion of a flirt, and many an und uate was plucked, because when he shoul e been grinding at the classics his mind languished for Emily Strong. Many a careworn youth who, for ner suke. had been plucked for _ ttlego, would walk out with throbbing breast to litey church, a famous Norman church she was fond of attending, in the hope of repeating bis Te Deum within sight of her and winning from her one of her beaming recognitions and intox- ieating smiles. But Emily, though she loved youth, loved age and station more, and when the nervous, bashful and mature Mark Pattison Proposed for her she cust overboard, perha} with some natural tears soon dried. the yout ful admirers and candidates who had basked in the delusive sunshine of her smiles.” The Marriage was not a bappy one. The latter Fears of Mark Pattison’s Ufe were embittered y domestic intelicities. In his “Memotrs,” which the fair Emily edited after his death, he tells us ‘that his whole life was made’ wretched “by th» combined sense of self-consciousness and _sel-humiliation.” During the last years of their married life Mra. Pattison lived almost entirely abroad. and the Tector’s pretty house at Lincoln would have been desolate but for the weicome presence of a favorite niece, in whom he took much pride. While bis wife found pleasure in travel and society he sought solace in his books and philo- sophical studies. The spring of 1863 found bun, pickaxe in hand, en route to Poitiers in ursuit of Knowledge. "He visited Nantes, New ochelle and tnuny of the little towns of “Old France," which he styled ‘the real France fall of things curious from one end to the other.” This journey was a great stwin on his already worn and enfeebled frane, aud he died shortly alter his return to Oxford, July 30, 1884. His tair relict, after the proper time had elapsed, devoted herself with reuewed zeal to that pur- suit of pleasure she had sought outside the domestic circle. Few persons knew her pres- ent whereabouts till she startled the public the other day by telegraphing her syinpatuy from India to Sir Charles D.lke, and bidding him announce their eugagement as a sort of vindi- cation, us it were, of bis misiapin falling be- tween the two stdols of his pretty French mis- tress and the gay Mrs. C-aw.ord. ee Women A-Straddle. From the London Telegraph. Little surprise need be felt in these days at the announcement that application has just been made by a liege lady to the Belgian Jockey club for permission to ride In uantie- men's races. Madame Stroobantc—ior such is the fair Amazon's name—has entered a horse of her own for the Prix des Dames «t Louvan, and threatens that, in the event of her pet'tion being rejected, she will go to the scales and insist on her right to be weighed as an ord!nary jockey. We muy as-ume that it ls her lotention don boots and breeches, aiter the fashion set by the professionai horsemen of England, and also to ride upon a man’s saddle, for Madame Stroobants can hardly be ignorant—the famous race between Mrs. Thornton ai d Frank Beckle at York, to the contrary twithstanding— that the disposition of a lady's weight upon a sidesaddle gives great advantag: to her more equally balanced antugonist of the other sex. in England che ladies who have hitherto dis- Unguished themselves as race riders ainst time and against male antagonists were always content to confine themselves to the side sad- die. No passage of turf history is better known than that counected with the two races at York, in the first of which Mrs. Thornton, nom- {naliy, though not really, the wife of Col. Thocn- ton, of Thornville Royal, was beaten by Mr. Flint, while in the second she defeated the cele- brated jockey Frank Buckle. The races ion tion took piace over York race course iv 1804 and 1505,and the lastof the two afforded a subject for’ the picture painted by Benjamin Marshall, of which many engravings still ban; upon the walls of Yorkshire country houses an wayside inns, “The lady of Col. Thornton, says Pierce Ezan in bis “Sportin tes, ‘ns equally attached to. the sports of the fleld with her waptts, Sapsear husband, and the singu- lar coatest which took place in 1804 between Mrs. Thoraton aud Mr. Flint stands recorded as one of the most remarkable occurrences which ever happened fn the anuuals of the turf.” In the course of one of their equestrian excur- sions in Thornville park Mrs, Thornton and Mr. Flint had a dispute as to ghe respective merits of their horses. Vingarillo, ridden by the lady Inher habit, contrived to distance Mr. Flint, when they submitted their horses to @ competitive examinution, and the yen- tleman was so chagrined that he challenged bis fair conquerer, who was a very pretty woman, to meet him in public at York, The match jumped with Col, Thornton’s humor,and it was agreed that it should come off on ‘the last day of the York meeting in 1804. It was concluded on the following terms: “A mateh ior 500 guineas, with a bye bet of 1,000 guineas, tour miles, Between Col. Thorn- ‘ingarillo and Mr, Fiint’s Thornville; Mrs. Thornton to ride the former, catch weight, Inst Mr. Flint.” Never, according to a local faye were so many people—at least 100,000 ‘n number—assembied upon Knavesmire ay on August 25, 1904, to witness this unparalleled mateh, The ground was keptand the course cleared by the 6th light dragoons, “which wus Bnquestionably the cause of many lives being saved. ‘Al the commencement of the race the odds were five and six to four on the lady, but ia running the last mile the odds turned round in favor of Mr. Flint, who took the lead and Kept it without ditticully. Mrs. Thornton used every exertion to win, but when she found that vic- tory was out of the questiou she pulled up her horse “in the most sportsmanlike style,” a couple of distances trom home. “Never, surely,” Says the enthusiastic reporter, “did woman ride in better form. It was ‘difficult to say whether her epee ber dress, or her beauty wax most admired, but the tout ensem- bie was unique.” ‘The body of her habit was leopard colored, with blue sleeves, the skirt hetng bai and the cap blue, Br. Flint rode In white. Nu words could express Mra, Thornton's dis- @ppototment at her deieat, and the “1 G conduct of Mr. Flint,” whose only offense Seems to have been thet he vangulshed a pretty woman, was severely reflect upon. It was said that not less than £200,000 were staked upon the match, and the universal admiration for the fair sex with which Yorkshire was ored- ited. and which she has not yet lost, inflicted a heavy loss upon backers of ait ages.” A Warning toGiris Alone im the Streets. From the New York Herald, August 14.

In the summer of 1864, when Sherman was manipulatifig his army in the neighborhood of Aulanta, a negro named Harbert, living on the ‘Turner plantation, in Putnam county, met the writer hereof in the woods and said he wanted to havea talk.

Whether he was moved by a desire to insure the personal safety of his friend, or merely by a desire to impress @ youngstet’s mind with statements that Seemed at the time to be the inventions of the wildest imagination, but which turned out to be literally true, it IS Impossible to say, But Harbert was better informed and more accu- Tate than the newspapers of the day. ulbelt his method of dispensing the news seemed to take the somewhat picturesque shape of prophecy. ‘There can be no doubt that this negrv—and, ofcourse, others in that section—knew that Sherman's army would match through Put- naw and by the Turner plantation. ‘The mystery fs notsuch a mystery after all.

The inside of the house was divided by means of rotten partitions about six feet in height Into three small chambers, he being the living room, second a bed room, and the third a lumber and store room. In the bed room the clothes were imply old rags and facking, barely sufficient to cover poor human- ity, and the floor throughout was formed, so far'as I could see. of the hard earth, Yet this house of the Macdonalds was a lace in com- Parison with some of the huts I visited else where.

This woman made some startling disclosures fo the old man Metz Just before his death, which in substance were as Jollows: At the Uine of the birth of the child she uiso had an infant sou, und, althongh she was very or, she desired that tier son should be raised in ailiuence.

The fumliy never discovered this, und ung Hylebrone grew up co manhood as Joseph Metz.” She said that she hud ulways regretted the act, but wus afrald to tell the truth. The real Metz has ulways been known ag ber son. The scenes at the (ather’s deathbed wen these facie were brought out wers aifectiag in the ex- treme. The father refused at first to believe the woman's statement and to recognize the youn, man us bis son; but flnally, by circumstantial evidence, the ith of the woman's statement dawned apon him, and he received his newly- found son. ‘The revelation was as unexpected to the sen as to the father. A few duys later Mr. Metz died, and, after waiting a short time in the old country, the son came to, this clty to commence proceedings against the possessor of the estate in America. He claims that he can eject the present occu- nt, us the deed was made to Joseph Metz, and ho has the facts In ins poscescion fo prove’ thar he Is the purty Intended.

She says that her only desire ia doing it was to benef her child, and that she did not realize at the time the terrible wrong abe Was committing against the babes. The farm is worth $25,000, as it is in good condition, Metz is married, but has no children. 2 A Still Waltz by the Sea. Clara Belle at Ocean Grove.
