The game between Lincoln and Omaha ,
the opening game for Urn championship sea-
eon ot the Wrstuin league , was witnessed by
about MX ) people nttha association ground *
yesterday afternoon. 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.
The homo team scored one In each of the
pecond , fourth , lifth and seventh inmlngs.

Monny From All Sources.
CHICAGO , April ! . [ .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.

WASIII.VOTO.V , April 21. fCorrespondence
of thoHnn.1 "Here , elvo tno my umbrella , "
exclaimed General Uolknnp , after writing a
card at the Kbbltt house the other ovoniiiK ,
and addressing a friend standing bosldo him.
"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

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.

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.
