Union and Advert Iter. THE STORY OF A YOUXtt EXUUSH XAS. Thirty, years ago a young Englishman a nobleman was, as was the custom of the time, sent to India as an officer in the English army, then engaged, as now, in assisting the British merchant to plunder India. He yaa a brave, gamy young fellow, as Englfsh noblemen always are, but he distinguished himself quite as much by the ease with which he threw away money in all aorta of extravagances as he did by his services, and he always did his dutv and more than his duty. He was half English and half Irish, as hand some aa a Prince, as liberal as well, as au Irish gentleman, and a more devoted lover of pleasure never lived, or a more thoughtless spendthrift. A few years of India satisfied him, and more than satisfied his father, who got tired of cashing drafts for enormous amounts, knowing that no young fellow could spend such sums of money in any legitimate way. He was brought home and sent to Aus tria, where his uucle was Field Marshal in the Austrian service, and high iu favor with the Emperor. He Was made a Captain in the Austrian service, and the title of Barou was conferred upon him, making him noble in two coun tries. The voun Baron preferred Vienna to India, for two reasons: The uniform was more striking, and the facilities for spending money more extensive. He plunged into all the gaieties of the Capi tal at once; not gradually, bi? with a plunge. He struck out more extensively than ever, and if there wa an extrava- Ence or folly that India had not taught m he found, able instructors in the otficers of the Austrian army stationed in the gayest Capital of Europe. He threw money right and left, before him and behind him. He kept horses. He gave dinners, and made the entire circle of extravagances. In four short years he had accumulated debts to the amount of 30,000 (125,000)! His eminently conservative and re spectable father in England objected to tnis sort of thing "fathers arc always un reasonable and his uncle, the Field Marshal, did everything in his power to restrain him, but all to no purpose. Then the father came to eniee and sent for him. He explained to him that an expenditure at the rate )f 3125,000 in four years would bankrupt any estate on earth" in the cdurse of time, and that that sort of thing must come to a sudden end in?. He further set forth that while the title belonged to him, as the eldest son, the accompanying estates, which were a necessary adjunct, were not entitled, and that he, "the father, could dispose of them by will, as hechoose. -Thnt-he preferred the estate to go with the title, but that if he persisted in his present course he would, as certain as fate, disinherit him, and divide them among the other chil dren. He then presented the wild young sou with a carefully drawn pajer, a ftromise to conduct himself something ike a prudent man, especially pledging himself never to incur another penny of debt, the penalty affixed being loss of the Eroperty, and the old gentleman assured im that this was his last opportunity, that he must decide now what to do, and that this decision must be final. The son signed the promise, vowed all sorts of amendment, the father gave him his blessing and departed for England. The sou returned to Vienna, and in a week run in debt 5,000. He had been compelled to be moderate while he was with his father in Venice, and he wanted to make up for lost time. That determined the father, but there happened to be a mother in the case. She made one eilbrt for her son which resulted in transferring the Captain to a little sta tion iu Hungarv, where the temptations of Vienna did not exist, and where there were no opportunities for debt and ex travagance. Then a marriage was ar ranged for him after the English fashion with the daughter of another good family. and the family had hopes that after sobering down in the little Hungarian village a year or so, under the, control and supervision of a very strict commanding othcer, he would be reduced to the point of marrying a sober English girl, and re tiring from the service aud settling down after the fashion of his ieople. But a fa tali tv eemt-u to pursue him. In this Hungarian village was a Hunga garian notary, who had a daughter beau tiful bcyon compare. She was of the regular Hungarian type of beauty, lithe, slender, creamy, peachy complexion, slender at the waist, with" delicate hands and feet everything, in a word, that is beautiful in womanhood. All the officers at the pot were crazy in love with her. in fact, the fame of her beauty had gone a long vay beyond the village of which she was a native and extended all over Hungary, and she had otters from Vienna and Pefth. Probably because everybody in the service wanted to marry her our young English-Irish Captain determined to, and this in face of the fact that he knew his Barents hada wife-already-selected- for him in England. He laid siege4to.her at once, and the handktme young fellow carried her by storm. Duels by the score were the result, but that was" what the Captain delighted in. For the sake of this girl and the' fun of the thing, be carved a dozen or more Hungarianand Austrain officers in the most approved style, for he was as skillful with weapons as he was in love. With theimpetuosity of his race he immediately married her, drawing on her father for the 24,000 florins necessary to .deposit with the Gov ernment. That settled the matter at home. The irate father refused to ses him, his uncle was, compelled to hint that his resignation would be accepted, and he retired. His father, gave him an allowance of 400 a year, and "he" took "his "wife and settled ia,,amther aad larger village, ;r where Bomtething likei'n'ecent-ilrfe66u!d,be' at tained on so small .aa allowance, and in hi house these lines are being writen. Ha is saw a mature man of forty-eight. fie has daughters as beautiful as their mother was, her beauty living again in then: ha has sons aa gallant ana hand- h some as- their father was; all ih-the Aaa- tnan service ; and he, self-exiled, lives a sgrtoirswl ovar tks .village, Jer-tisi- ft . I f - ' a. ,F SBBBM ebaia, small as i it is, is a-Tery; largs oaa j iu so poor a country, aa .Hungary, Is he happyand satisfied? Ut Jlkny years ago there was an English officer' who came to the house-of an emir nent, surgeon, and demanded to have. his ,leg, amputated. . "I will -not,'" saitl the surgeon. "Tnere vii nothing'Vhe matter with your leei" i "It matters not I want "the rifehtlez .amputated at once." The surgeon refused, whereupon the officer cobfiy drew a murderous pistol and discharged it into his leg, shattering the. bones so as Jo make amputation nec essary. After the operation had been performed the officer explained. He was in lo.ro with a beautiful'' woman who loved him but refused to marry him. She had been; thrown .froni a, carriage inher girlhood, and an injury resulted that made amputation" of her right leg neces sary, and' she' feared that this would cause him to tire of her in time, after the first heat of his Dassiou was over. Jo equalize the matter he determined upon having his right leg cutoff and suc ceeded. Twenty years after the surgeon met the officer and asked him as to the result. "Yes, I married her, more fool I. She admired my devotion I wish she had had-more sense- That cursed stump stood in the way of promotion; it prevented me from enjoying society, it has stood in my way alwavs. 3Iaria has become a fat old dowdy, with one leg, and I have been a growing misanthrope ever since. I would trade her off for my lost leg in a minute and give great odds." Our Baroness is now" a fleshy woman of forty-five, with scarcely any wait at all. She is still handsome, in the face, and is as good as any woman on earth. She is lively as a cricket, as jolly as a grig and she loves herhusbaud, the still handsome Englishman, with an absoluteness that is delightful. But she knows the sacrifices he made for her, and she feels with the feeling that only women can have, that it would have been better for him had he turned his back upon her and gone back to England and married as his family desired. "He fought twenty duels for me!" she said proudly, ''but " The sentence ended with a sigh. "More fool I was!" was his answer in English, which sho could not understand. "What a madman I was." The estates are all in the poasessiou of his younger brother, who is careful to see that the allowance is paid auarterly and that is all. He cannot go Lack toEng land, for what could he do with three beautiful daughters in England on 400 a year? D. R. Locke, in Toledo Blade. A Canary Coutest. A stranger stepping from the slushy streets into James Dawson's saloon, at 823 Callowhiil street, last night, would have been considerably mystified by the sights to be seen in the large room in the rear of the bar. Every seat in the place was occupied by silent men, whose eyes were all directed to the chimney piece. On the chimney piece was-a small wooden cage, and ou the perch in the cage sat a canary. The occasion was the decision of a sing ing sweepstakes of $2.50 each. The con ditions provided that each canary should be allowed ten minutes, and the bird that did the most whistling aud chirping during that period of time was to be ad judged th winner. There were original ly five entries, but when the contest was called on last night, shortly after eight o'clock, only three contestants were on hand. George Barlow brought "Music" in a neat wooden cage, T. GUI produced "Flute" from under his overcoat, with a look of quiet confidence on his face, while a "'mule," that the canary fanciers 5 renounced a green "sparrer," was intru uced by Dawson, as it was understood, on behalf of an "unknown" backer. At 8:30 "Music" was placed ou the chimney piece in the full glare of a naked gas jet. Dawsou drew out his. watch, the taker of the singing time pulled out a "flyback," and "time was called. The fifty spectators leaned back in their chairs and stared at the cage. The ticking of the clock was the only sound to be heard, as "Music" remained as dumb as an oyster. In less than half a minute, however, the bird beginning with a plaintive "tweet, tweet," burst into full song, and might have chirped out the ten miuutes, but an unfor tuuate individual in the cornet sneezed violently, and "Music" pulled up short in the middle of what au enthusiast afterward styled "a boss trill," and cocking his artful little head on one side and napping his tiny wings wrathfully he declined to favor the com pany with another note. When the time was up Dawson announced that "Music" had "piped" 591 second. T. Gill then placed "Flute" and his cage tenderly upon the chimney piece, whisked off the cloth cover, aud took up his stand by the timekeeper, evidently brimful of confidence. "Flute" hopped around the cage for a moment or so, then bettled on his perch, turned his head rap idly from side to side, murmured "tweet, tweet," and became aggravatingly mute. A little later and he began to sing sweet ly, but the outer door closed with a bang when the bird had been whistling twenty four second, and the canary sang no more. The nameless bird entered by the "unknown" was the last to go "on the shelf.'' His appearance was greeted with derision. He was a mournful looking bird, and it was stated by a person with a husky voice and a sealskin cap that "'Ed' scaped outer 'is cage afore Christ mas, an' been a liviu' in a sparrer box in Franklin square ever since, which 'as corrupted im like, yer ee." He con tinued: "An' if he pipes at all, yer can bet it'll be more of a sparrers note nor a canary's." Whether the gentleman was I right or not it is impossible to say, aa the obstinate mule for it was a cross-bred bird, sang never a note, but stuck to his perch and gazed curiously at the gas, until, at the expiration of ten ininutes, Dawson called time and declared Music the winner of the match and stakes. These contests are new in Philadelphia, but they are very common in London and the north of England. Dawson in tends shortly to organize a singing match' on a large scale, which he thinks will prove popular, aa there are so many fine singers in the" city. It was explained at the conclusion of the contest that the reason the canaries would not sing was because the cages were placed too near the gas. The glare of the gas-and the heat of the room, it was thought, had scared them. Pu'laileljiiia Frt-ss. From the earliest period the snec haa been the subject of much learnc. discussion.
