The day was a disa greeably cold one , making It unpleasant alike for players nnd spectators. Tim game , however , was nn exceptionally good one , and did much to Incteaso the faith of thu Omaha patrons of the sport lu the homo 'team. Dave Howe's boasted champions woie outplayed nl every stage of the game. The Omalm field , Messltt , Hrlmblccom and Under , played without an error. O'Leary pitched an .excellent game , the hits on him being rfow and principally lost chance rain. Krehmeyor caught splendidly , being especially foilunato In capturing loul tips. Dwyer at lirst , Kourko at third and Walsh t shdi t took care of everything that came in their way. Swift nt .second made suv- eial co.'tly errors , but redeemed him self by a double play with Dwyer. Thn visitors worked hard but to little nvall. When they struck O'Leary 'lorn My the outfield corralled them , and fcroundurs seldom passed the Infield. Ono of their runs was made on Swift's error , and ono was earned. Dotnti caught well. Law rence of-ciipled the pitcher's box , and did but fairly effective work. Kcinagal nt short stop ( tlld excellent service but was lost at the b.it.

[ .Special Teletrram to the DRF. . ] M anagets of local banking In stitutions ropoit an unusually active demand for money from all departments of tiude. Operators on the board of tr.ulo are pressing their claims for Ilnanclal assistance qulto vigorously utid generally succeeded In ob taining a greater portion of their icqucsts. Homo refusals have been made , but exclu sively to parties not regutir customers of In stitutions or whoru bankers were disposed to limit their discount lilies to parties who or dinarily have lirst claim on thorn. It Is un derstood that two of the ! iidltir : ! Institutions have made arrangements to Mipplr the money requited to pay wheat delivered on M.iy con tracts. The supply of loanable funds Is somewhat contiactcd and ! wnks as a rule are not inclined to enlarge their discount lines , merely retracing the funds reclcved on ma tured paper. Considerable money has been forwarded to wheat and llfo stock districts , but largely through commission houses. Lumbermen make quite frequent visits to the banks as the season has about opened and they require consldoiablo money at this tlmo of year , both at the yards and the mills. Packers were seeking temporary loans In view of increased receipts of hogs and the fact that they have considerable property on hand which has hoen sold for May and Juno delivery. Wholesale merchants were not borrowing to any extent , as they are enjoy ing quite active trade for this season of th'i year and reducing their stocks of goods quite iberally. Kates of Intciest are well main tained , In fact , there is little quabbling about Interest rates it nionev can bo secured. Call loans are linn at 0 and C } per cent and time loans command G > nnd 8per cent readily. depending on the amount of money required and thu tinanoial standing of the boriowur. There was rather moio doing in street Joan.s , and rates of Interest are reported .steady at 0 ami 8 per cent. Eastern money markets ruled with considerable. steadiness with ruoro than the usual demand tor bank favors from outside pat ties. Kor- elgn money maikets iiro easily loanable , funds abundant and interest lates lavoiablu to" bm rowei tf. JScw York exchange was in moderate supply and the demand was f.iirlv active , especially by meichnnts desiring to close up their eastern accounts for the month. Hales between banks were made at 25 cents discount to 25 cents premium per $1,000 and thi ) market closed steady nt par. Foreign ex change was offered rather sparingly and thn maiket ruled stronger and lates werehlgher , with sales of shippers' sixty davs document bills on London at S4.8 jf@4.8 % and closed steady at 1.84 } < G4.W % . The Now York stock market exhibited considerable activity during the past week , though thn trading on most days was largely In specialties. Au un settled leullns picvaik'd during the sreater pottlori of the time and fluctu ations In prices were fiequcnt. 1'rices ruled higher early , but were not supported to the close. Tlio earnings of tlio leading railroad lines , while not showing as large an aggregate as ono month ago. are re garded as qnito satisfactory by managers , ns it was expected that the freight movement would decrease when the Inter-state rom- nibrcn law went Into effect. Wall street speculators were disposed to trade quite freely and the niaikot received considerable support from outside parties In thu east. Western operators in the stock woie not doIng - Ing much , as their attention was nttuieted elsewhere. Forehni speculators in stocks traded rather ficely. American securities were somewhat In foreign markets. The sales on the New York exchange for the week asgregeted S-,221.00. : Petroleum was Inclined to quietness , If early In the week , and prices ruled comparative steady. Later tlio market showed more activity , offerings were larger and lower prices wore accepted. Sales on the Now York petroleum exchange reached 5,115,000 barrels. Opening sales wern made at G4c , sold at 6J5 < @ 04e , and closed quiet at GJJ-fc. The leading pro duce markets have exhibited considerable activity during the past week , but It was nl most exclusively In a speculative way. Operators - orators nppear to be as much "at sea" as ever , and very few developments have been made to establish any definite outcome of affairs. In many of thn leading markets the operators have been transferring contracts almad as much as possible , and the im pression is gaining ground that speculative trading will be brisk during the greater portion tion of the coming three months May , June and July. Lake navigation will prob ably tinen within tno next ton days , when largo quantities of jc'raln will inovu eastward , and shippers regard tno outlook as rather favorable for good business during the summer months. Farmers are busy with their spring work nnd with sea sonable weatjior , spring grain will bo about as largo as usual , though varying somewhat in different sections ot the west The re ceipts ot grain were comparatively light , ex cepting of wheat , partially due to small rlo- llveii'-.s nt small stations nnd large shipments from elevators during the past month. Prices of grain and provisions have been a little moro favorable to buyers. The receipts of live , stock have been quite liberal at nil prin cipal western maikots. Packing operations nio progressing qulto favorably and the ag- gicgate for the lirst quarter Is somewhat in excess of last year's returns to date. ' Postnl Chnnire'n. WARIUNGTOX , April 23.

"I haven't cot your umbrella , " replied the friend. "I gave It to you but a second since to hold while I wrote my name. Uome , fork It over , ' , the robust old soldier continued , and then ho begun walking around looking for It. Two or three ffontlemen overheard the conversation and were drawn up In amuso- ine.it. Finally one smiled , and observed : "What have you under yourarui , general ? " ( jcneral Uelknap stopped , pulled from under his arm his mnbiolla , and observed In a Utistratcd manner : "Again I A tow days ago I went with a Kcntlumaii friend Into a cafe for lunch. I paid the bill , botu'ht cigars and when wo began smoking 1 told my friend to give mo my purse. I was positive I had handed it tu him , or laid U down and lie had picked It up , although ho declared ho had not touched It. Looking around the table for the purse I discovered It In my hand. " General IJelknap , who , It will be letnoin- bored , was President Grant's sociotary of war and was Impeached on a charge of of fice broking , lives In Washington now. Ho has been hero more or less for six years. Ho practices law , lives quietly , but comfortably , and is ono of the most popular men at the capital. Ills friends are as'CXtonsive as his acquaintances. Ho dresses faultlessly , is Ian'o and handsome , with a full short beard that was once light ml , hut now half gray , add Is generous to a fault. Uo never speaks 111 of anyone , is genial and generous , and an cntortiilnlng conversationist. Ills friends say ho will some day be completely vindi cated. "Some day not far distant , Alaska will bo one of the choicest uorllons of the United States , " said a government ofllolal , who has Just arrived from that far-off section , and who was telling some of his experiences this mornintr. "Alaska is an enormous tract of country , " ho continued , "and neither Its size nor resources are understood by any con siderable portion of our people. Very fe.w indeed comprehend Its extent or nhysicil characteristics. From Its extieme north to south it is 1,400 miles In air line , or as far as from Malno to Florida ; and from its eastern boundary to the end ot the Aleutian islands a. OO miles on an air line , or as far as from Washington to our western frontier. " "The island of Attti , at the end of the Aleutian chain , is as far west of San Fran- elsco as Malno Is east , so that between the oxtumio eastern and western sections of the United States San Francisco Is the great cen tral city. Or take another basis of compari son. Alaska Is as large as all New Kngland and the middle states , to-getnor with Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , Wisconsin , Michigan , Ken- tuckv and Tmincsjpo combined , or as largo as all the United States east of the Missis sippi river and north of Georgia and the Oiiiollnns. or neiulv ono-slxth ot the entire an-aol the United States. It has a coast line of IS.'JU miles , or ncaily twlcoasuiudh as the Atlantic anil 1'aeilin coist lines of the re maining portions of the United States. The total au'Ant the islands ot Alaska is rl,203 squaui miles which would ninko a state as large as tlio moat state ot Maine. "Alaska Is the teflon nf tho1 highest moun tain peaks In the United States. The coast range of California and the mountain ranae -of Colorado and Montana unite to form the Alaska mountains. This raniie , Instead of continuing northward to the Arctic ocean , as the old at lases represent , turns to the southward at the upper ramparts of the Yukon , extends through and forms the Alaska Peninsula , and then gradually sinks Into thl Panlnc ocean , leaving only the highest peaks visible above the water. These peaks form the Aleu tian chain ot Islands. Tlio Islands d-.crease In size , hoUht and frequency , ns the moun tain range sinks Into tno ocean. ITiilmak , the most eastern of the chain , has that masj- nltleent volcano Shlshaldin , U.OOO feet high : then Unaltiska , 5,931 toet ; next Atka , 4Si'j feet , etc. In the Alaskan range are thehlgu- cst peaks In the United States. U is the great glacial region , too. From Uuto Inlet to Unlmak Pass nearly every deep gulch has Its deep glacier , somO of which are vastly gieater and grander than any glacier of the Alpi. On Lynn canal Is a elacler computed to be 1,200 feet tbick at the 'snout,1 or lower projection. "Al stu Is covered with hot and mineral springs , ana its varying climate makes It a report for certain invalids. Some of the springs are already noted for their curative qualities. Thorn are sulphur springs , bollinc springs , and all kinds of springs , i'he boilIng - Ing sprlns have long been used by the na tives forcookliu purposes. A lake strongly Impregnated with nitre Is found on Beaver Island. v * , "There are more miles of navigable rivers in Alaska than nny other portion 'of the United States. In sections .the pllmato Is salubrious the year round. There are Im mense valleys where crops may be raised ; great undeveloped mines of gold , silver , lead , coal and every class of minerals vtho choicest timber lands In the world. In a word Alaska will , nut many years hence , have railroad connnctlsn with this pnit of the country , and will be developed amazingly. " * # * People In Washington , ' who have been watching the operations of the Inter-stato commerce commission from the spot of ac tion , and who have kept abreast or the foolIng - Ing of thn shippers of the country , with one voice predict the repeal or verv material ttmendment of the Inter-state law at the coming session ot contrress. Thov declare that it is working too many hardships , de stroys the theory and principle of rivalry In competition , and will ruin ex-ports. Many are advocating Its repeal , while othnrs are suggesting amendments. A member of the Fiftieth congress who has just arrived from the southwest , and who has traveled extensively In all parts of the country during the present month , says that there will bo a flood of amendments and substitute laws ottered as soon as congress convenes. Ho predicts that thete wjll be tliree months of debate on propositions af fecting the Intnr-statn commerce law. The observations of this statesman have been duplicated by hundreds of others not members of congress. A senator who had much to do with the framing of this law sa ) s the rulings of the commission cannot bo sat isfactory , and that there will bo continual uratings over thn long and short haul clauses. He thlnUs this should be repealed , and de clares that the only end sought to be attained bv the enactment of the law was prohibition ot discrimination favor of or against ship pers , nnd that It can be secured nulta as well and by a piuch shorter route vfitfiout thelong and short haul clause. Instead of i educing and simplifying the burden of the law all anticipate that It will be further complicated , and that the tactics of the railroad companies will bo to make It still more ridiculous. It Is stated that there will be a strong tight made for a substi tute which will not contain the long nnd short hauls , nnd sev eral other clauses , but which will slmoly prohibit discriminations In favor of large shippers , and which will be short and simple and do away with the commission which Is conceded on all hands to be a cumbersome and useless tribunal. The substitute pro position Is to be so plan and short as to ro- quirt ) no Interpretations , and will put redress - dross In tlio Imnds of the people and In tbo county courts. Of course this character ot solution nf the problem will be fought by not only the com mission , but all lawyers In congress and out of It , wha hope to cet fat fees from the people ple and the common carriers. It U expected that there will bo much more Independent action by men In congress than there was last winter In dealing with this subject. Then they knew nothing of the effect at the the law , as It had not been tested. Now they have been shown by constituents just enough objection to It all to e < ve them ample exciiHu for voting for or against auy pro position , When the subject was before , congress In the lobt two Congratses men who fought shy of It and worked , directly bv Indirectly anlnstlt , were suspected of bum i Influenced by the corporations. The railroads will un doubtedly show to Juglslators enouzh hard ships to constituents to warrant a repeal of the law , If neces ary.,9r the enactment of a substitute. If the , fou.stltuents have not encountered - countered the hardships bv this time some can be made specially for them. The Inter state commerce lawhdestined to a short life In Its present condition , Is the belief In Washington * , and no one hesitates to say no. * # * While the crowd of visitors were congro n- ting In the east parlor at the white homo to attend the last Informal public reception , tlil.s week , an old laay with antiquated spd tacles pulled well down on her nose , climbed the stairway leading to the private ofllces on the second Hoar. When she reached thu landing she Rtonp&l , Junked around , sniffed the air , took oil hcrisimctuclcs , and going up to a messenger , asisert : ' , " ( ' .ui you tell inejslr , vlmt smells so ? " The messenger stammered , hesitated , and finally replied : . "That , madame. Is kale nnd bacon which you smell. It comes up from the kitchen. " "Well , I thought so much , " said the old ladv , "and I told mv friends down stairs s-o. They c intended that the smell from the kitchen of the white luinso would never bo allowed to permeate the whole building In this way , and so 1 said 1 would come in > and Und out. Why , it suiolls awfully down In the white house. " Shortly the old lady wns In the nast parlor with her f i lends and telling them how she hnd just as good anosoas ever , and her voice could bo heard above the murmurlngs of the crowd as It moved toward the president , who was then recelvlnt' . Onn who related this Incident said that the piesldont Is becoming so loud of boiled din ners that Mrs. Cluvel.md Is very glad to go out to Ited Top or Oak View , whore her mother Is , to escape the fumes and get some delicacies. Mrs. Cleveland prefers line pastry and Is very fond of early finits and a few of the vegetables , while the president continues to destroy ham and eggs , cabbage , kale , bacon and corn beef , and take his mugs of ale at dinner. * "Yes , a great mnny # Tellers are written to the president for no other real object than to get his autograph and learn his style of com position , " said a white house clerk. "Hero Is a pile of letters which boar no significance toolliclnl business ; yet each requires an an swer. They came from icmote parts of the country In many instances. Most are from the out-of-the-way precincts. I presume thcrn. are thousands of families in dtilercnt parts of the country who havu letters In tholr pos session from presidents of the United Stales. They wrote ( ho presidents for the solo pur pose of securing a letter In reply. " "Uo you often Hnd poUnge enclosed from these autograph letter Mends ? " "About ono In ten enclose a stamp. But the stamps are not so burdensome as the corre spondence. U is the examination of letters that takes the trouble. Hut few ot them are ever seen by the president , and those who think they are getting his Inspiration In the answeis are badly mistaken. The clerks open the letters , write answer * to those not requiring the president's attention , and ho affixes his signature without having the least idea of the contents of either the letter of In quiry or the answer. True , the president sends out his autograph ; but that is all. " The cabinet ofllcers , well known senators , and sometimes prominent members of the house of representatives , get frequent letters from strangers , not inqntrln ; for an auto graph , but some matter which will lequiro an answer , and the sole object Is to get an autograph letter. It Is very seldom that any of them write the answer. A secretary does It , and only the autograph name goes to the inquisitor and disturber of the public man's tranqullity. There have beenfnWashlngton during the last past 1'ortnighti two or three very astute and Inlluyrttialn Knights of Labor. The assemblies of this nrganizatlon in this city are made up rff fcxtrkordlnary Intelligent men , and most of them'rank ns pretty fair politicians , many of them having occupied potent places in state legislature , federal po- jiltloiis , etc. , and they rank as men having exceptionally fine ivorapicacity In matters political. Nearly two-thirds are democratic In politics. All ot thorn have been discussing for ton days or mot ( J tlio 'politic ' it outlook as It has lofeienco tol.lbor , and labor organiza tions , i ! ' If 1 have any pow'er of concentration In Instances of this kmd.tho general belief Is that the organization ofi. Knights ot Labor will put a presidential candidate in the Held , antagonize bitterly * both'bf ' the old parties , be defeated , and then (51110 ( pieceA. Then , It Is prophesied , tnere wlH'be no more nation ally organized lalrorJiorihany years , and so much fueling will b ungomtorrd in the cam paign that the labor unions , which have done so much for many years to elevate labor , will be L'really tmp.ilred. These labor experts lu Washington and the labor politicians , who cannot have any follish motive in view , because they cannot run for office , say theio has never been a class organization , or society of nny char acter , which have survived an active partici pation In politics , and that the organization of Knights ot Labor is too neatly divided ever to permit the successful candidacy of one of their own number fora nationalonlcu. Tlioy do not discuss which of the old nnrtles will lose heaviest by the race of a Knight of Lnbnr candidate , but they are creatly con- ccrnuitnhont the outlook of the order. Ibis expected that the subject , which Is to come up In the general assembly at Minneapolis thjs fall , will create a gro.it deal of feeling. 1'URIIV S. llUATlt. GRAND ISLAND DOINGS.

THE DUCHESS OF NORFOLK , A Noble Mother Finds Her Gross Too Great For Human Heart to Bear. A BLIND AND IMBECILE DUKE. Itnnk Nor Wealth Nor State Can Heal a Urokcti Ueart Ijiuly Flora Haslues ! Dies of < ! rlef Her imbecile Son Heredi tary Nobility. Xinr YonicApril 20. [ Correspondence of the BIE. : ] The news has iirrlvod of the death of tlio Ducho&s of Norfolk , a ludy not well-known , oven by niimo , In America , but whoso llfo 1ms been as strange and sad hi its vicissitudes and splendid sorrows , us nlmost any In his tory or romance. She was born In 18V. ! , the daughter of ti Mn Clifton , the third son of a plain Knglish pqtilrq , who chanced to please the eyes of the Lady Edith Hawdon-llnstings , eldest daughter of the Marquis of Hastings. The country gentleman married the lady of hlsrlr de gree , and within the year a daughter was born to them called Flora Hetty Uar- bara Clifton. When this child was four or live years old , her father took the sur name of Abney-Hasllngs , in order to in herit a property which some distant rela tive of his wife desired should descend In connection with the creator name. Then the little Flora Clifton became Miss Ab- ney-Ilastings. After a while the marquis of Hastings died for such things will happen , even in nobln families and his sou succeeded ; and when the son too , died , and child less , the marqtiisatc became oxtinct. lint there was in the family another title ono of those unusual dignitaries in the English peerage which , in default of male heirs , descend in the female line , and Lady Kditli Abnoy-Hastings inherited from her brother the enrldom of Loti- dotin. She became countess of Loudoun , in hei own right , as it is called , and a peer of the realm. Hut hfir husband was only Mr. Abney-Hastings still ; the rank of his wife could not ennoble him : their eldest son has since succeeded his mother , though the father remained a commoner. Yet , as the daughters of earls bear the title of "Lruly , " when her mother inherited the earldom , Miss Flora became tlio LAUV FLOttA AHNEY-IIASTINGSJ deriving her name from her father , and her rank from her mother. It was an om'nous ' title , for there had been Lady Flora Hastings hounded to her grave not twenty years before , in the lirst years of Queen Victoria's * reign ; a pure and excellent woman , a lady of the court , belonging to the bedchamber of the young queen's mother , the duchess of Kent ; but her virtue fell under suspicion , and the queen herself was very bitter and unrelenting ; the poor girl lost her place at court , and her good name , and died the victim of calumny , after which her innocence was established. Hut there are many still in English society who remember and resent the persistent cruelty of the prcsant queen , then her self only a girl , like the Lady Flora whom she persecuted. " The second bearer of the name was bred a Protestant in a Protestant family , but after awhile espoused the Catholic faith , from which , indeed , her father's ancestor's had lapsed only within a gen eration or two ; but the most violent op position was ollercd to her rccantion or conversion. The Catholics called the treatment persecution , but the proselyte ' was linn , a'nd after awhile the effort to retain or restrain her ceased , and she was left to enjoy the solace of her now religion. About this time I chanced to meet her at a dinner in London. She was pointed out to mo in advance as the famous Lady Flora Hastings , tiie convert to Catholicism , whom every ono was talking about. 1 was. struck by the name for I had heard the history of her aunt , and knew something ot' her own , and I looked curiously at the wearer of the historic title. She was a charming specimen of high-born beauty of England ; but though distinguished in appearance , and graceful and soft in manner , not without a shade of coldness , or almost stillness in her bearing , like that which marks so many of the caste of Vero do "Vere.even among themselves. Soon after this she was married to the duke of Norfolk , the hereditary marshal and premier duke of England , who ranks next among temporal peers after the princes of the blood ; and people said the story in the fairy-book was truetlio good , faithful Catholic had been rewarded for her persistency , the beautiful girl had found her prince ; and her fidelity in things celestial' had brought her the highest honors in things tcrcstlal that English subjects can attain. For tlio Dukes of Norfolk have borne that title four hundred years ; theirs is the "blood of all the Howard , " that Pope sings of ; they arc the owners of Arundel Castle , and the descendants of Surrey ; one dukedom , three earldoms and live baronies are heaped upon a sin- gla heir. The present Duke succeeded to the tide nearly thirty years ago. His father died when ho was in his four teenth year , and this boy stepped to the head of the English nobility. If there had been a procession of the peerage , at a coronation , ' or some such occasion , with Northcoto. and Argyll , and Boa- consliold and Salisbury , and every other eminent , noble statesman in the lund , in line the boy-duke would have preceded them all. I mot him soon after I entered English society. It was at the house of his uncle , Lord 'Howardof Glossop. his father's brother , and a man old enough to bo the duke's father ; but the nephew was the head of the family and the uncle only a cadet. Lady Howard was ono of the most fascinating of English women ; with a manner more gracious than many English women possess ; who seemed to forgot herself and her rank entirely , and to think only of what she could say or do to make those around her enjoy themselves. SIIK WAS GIVING A DINKKH , and before wo wont to. the table , know- lug that I was a stranger , not long ar rived in England , she said : ' 'Would you like to know the duke of Norforlk1' I iiad forgotten the connection of the fam ily , if indeed I know at that time. 1 looked around for some Imposing anil venerable man.but she turned to a young ster without a shadow of distinction in his appearance , as plain as a farmer in face and manner , and mentioned my name. The duke was so simple and un assuming , in fact , almost embarrassed in behavior , that I should have thought him the least important personage in the room. Ho asked ran something about America , that betrayed no especial in- tolllgencoor ability , and I inquired if ho had ever been in the United States. "No , " lie replied , but I suppose I ought to go to Improve my mind. " 1 thought ho might uo bantering mo , and said : "Ono did not always travel to Improve the mind. I was not so good. I went about to amuse myself. " Then ho looked up. half maliciously , and answered : "Oh ; I suppose your mind is improved. " Upon which I concluded that ho was not with out a ven. of raillery. Hut our conversa tion was Interrupted , for Just then Lady Howard came up for his arm ; and though the room was full of statesmen and ministers and people with ribbons ami grtrtorn and stars , this plain young farmer as ho looked , her nephew besides , took in the hostess to dinner. The duke In devoted to hit religion ; ho is at the head of the Catholic laity , and accepts the duties and responsibilities of his position. Ho Is a great friend of Cardinal Newman , and was his pupil for awhile ; ho could hardly have found a nobler character or liner mind to study under ; I remember that when some great polemical and political dispute came up and stirred all England- question that involved English and Catholic interests both at once the cardinal wrote u pam phlet and Inscribed it to "his grace the duke of Norfolk. " For , despite his rank and his lineage and his possessions , the Catholic duke is made to feel at times that his religion in England is a re proach. The Catholics there have never got over THE snoMA or OUY rAWicus in the popular mind , while the great no bility stilt remember .fumes II. . and that they earned their position and power in the state by resisting and dethroning a Catholic sovereign. Several eminent persons became Catho lics while I lived in Engliind , und the sac- rilico they made to principle was by no means inconsiderable. One was an carl of very ancient title , and his wife told mi ! that he was prosecuted by his tamily till life became almost a bunion ; his position in frocioty and Ills intlueiico on his estate were both Injured because of his con version. Another , the marquis of Hipon , gave up the right to present clergymen to the livings In Ins gift , which indeed , seems only just ; since lie was no longer a member of the church to which these livings belonged. Still , the right of pat ronage is one that the Englisli landlords prize very highly , and Lord Hlpon doubt less felt the deprivation of the preroga tives that pertained to his rank , and had descended to him from hia ancestors. i once visited the church at Arundel , which the predecessors of the Norfolks built centuries ago , and where they were buried from the time of the Fltz-Alana , who married the daughters of kings but the mass Is no longer said in the protestant - ant temple , and , though the Howards arc still laid by their fathers , it is with "maimed rites , " only , that they maybe deposited there. On the outside of the great edilico , whore the Surreys and Arundels worshipped in other days , thov iiave built a chapel whcro the priests per form the .Catholic ceremonies prohibited within , and then the noble dust is car ried to the chancel , whore it must rest under the fonns of the newer faith , , which the Norfolks cpll heretical. And yet the English contrive to mmglo defer- erencc for rank with their religious big otry ; and , though the dukes may not way in the church , according to the original rites in which the church was consecrated crated , the wall is broken down so that the great may bo decorously transferred to their last ducal residence. Hut witli the dukes of Norfolk , the mockery of all human splendors and dig nities begins this side of the grave. The eldest son of the prescntduko , and of her who was once the beautiful Lady Flora , was born BMNIAXU DiFICIiNriXINTKUECT. : Everything that science , or skill , or wealth , or tenderness could suggest has , of course , boon tried to mitigate the lot of the heir of the Howards : but in vain. The child is seven years old , and it is certain ho can never look upon his great domain or know the satisfaction of the possession of his dignities. Yet ho re mains the only possible successor to his father , if ho lives. The title is inalienable and the property is entailed- , brother can come into possession wlulo the older survives ; and Philip , carl of Arundel and Surrey these are his high sounding titles must bo the sixteenth duke of Norfolk , the hereditary marshal of England , and the head of the English nobility , though blind and imbecile. The duchess died , doubtless broken hearted , in the midst of her Hplondor , at the fate of her eldest son , the child of her youth , the heir , it is said , evoii.of her beauty , the dependent of BO many dukesl the unconscious object on .whom so many mocking honors and dignities must be heaped. When he follows his mother to that carnal house 'at .Artfndel , with his coronet on his coilin , as is the custom for peers the principle of hered itary nobility will be vindicated as never before and that other doctrine of the inherent equality of man will bo avenged. t forgot to say tl-at whim the Lady Flora Hastings became dneliess of Nor folk , und gave an heir to thu dukedom , the three earldoms and the live , baronies , it was not thought proper that lier father , tlio progenitor of this future mighty peer , should himself remain a commoner , and Mr. Abnoy-Hastings. ohcef Mr. Clifton , tlio younger son of a country squire , who became lirst the husband of countess of London , then the father of a Duchess of Norfolk , but above all the grandfather of the future premier duke of-England was himself elevated to the nooraire and ho is now known as Lord Donington , a baron of the United King dom. Uis services to England required this recognition , and his descendants in the younger 1'mo will hardly think the sixteenth duke was born in vain. What the common people of England may think of their hereditary legislators crcateil for such cause , would bo another matter. Hut they wore not consulted. ADAM BADIIAU. t Personal Paragraphs.
