'L'ho Urfortunato Marrlge a oroalil1itsj

Lhla dofp)Ttn.s,
} o bit of society news ever ctatcd
greater surprise than the announce
mnout of the engagement of Miss Nell io j
Vrenshall Grant, iatgghet' of the
'residient of the Utited $Catos, to 1 1
gernon Charles Frederick Sartoris, a
British subject. The prospective
groom was a son of Edward SartoriF,
of Ilampshire, England. Ili9, mother
was Adelaide Kemble, daughter of
Charles ald sister of 1alnny K omb!o
the actress. The young man had been
- ductctd in England and Gcrluany and
about 1870 came to the United States
to seek his fortune. In I$7 :, on the
steamship R)cssia, while Miss Nellie
was returning from a trip to Europe,
the couple met and formed one of
those unaccountable attachments called
by women ''love afiairs,'' which tertni
nated in courtship and marriage. At
that time Nellic had turned seventeen.
She had enjoyed a life of exceptional
social opl)ortunities and had everv
thing to utake a maiden in her teens
happy. lfcr father had heei the chicf
tain )f tho powerful armies of Ilie
United States and was the conquerer
of the rebellion, lie then had reached
the pinnacle of' pswcr and granduor,
the seat of the Chief Magistrate of his
country. As a child of six or ten
years with her Iother Nellie often
visited her father's hea<binartcrs itn the
field. I)u'iig the noveinc)lts and
strife of :l'mics she otten heard the
thnlders of art iIlery, t he rain of' m11
ketrv and the clash of arms. At. the
capital she was tie pet of the suci:il
world. Ste hadl reei vei ( istinguishe'I
atten Iions fr'ot oli .and young. 11ci
debut was one of the events of the
social history of the Excenlive Man
sion. The sons and daughters of i ii
ittost clinent, statesmen and ollicials
were her cotpanions. In her home
she was the idol of her father.
In Washill ton society Mr. Sartor is
was only a tigure as the ft'iend of Misi
Grant. lie possessed none of the
liner social qualities of young men.
lIe was given to sporting and much
of his time was passed at the marine
barracks. Ills conduct there was a
matter of common talk. Ills ill-cot
Sidered andl unusually irresponsible
comments among the oflicers about
Miss Grant, the lady to whom he was
known to be engaged, in disparage
ment of her intelligence and education,
often almost led to clastisenent. It
was only his relations at ti c Executivte
Mansion which con plclled the a to sup
press (heir indignation and tolerate his
i'eRCUCe.
Whenl it became known to Mrs.
(G rant and the 'revident that the at
tentions of Mr. Sartoris m)eanit. nt:tr
riage there was a deep sentse of tli<aj
p)oittten,t to refer to the matter tilti -
ly. The P'resident, in speak itig on the
subject to a frienl, in a mtiost fee!itg
mnn 11e' expressed his re''ret tat the
object of his laughler''s aleetioni was
not an Anerienn citizon. '''lhe h;umn

President sail at. the timie. ''l:tlher
than have anI talic cint;il, tt I

The marriage was the talk of societ t"
fo' weeks5 and the event itsch wis the
most br'illianit ever witntessedl within

atasion that she was pernitted to
eturn, even on such a sad erranid of
huty to a patent. But her children,
Lt whom she was so (lcvoted as to
endure everything, were not :tllowed
to coinC with her, in fact, were hleld, it
might be said, as hostages for her re
turn. It is doubttul had they beet)
with her w hether she would ever
again have left her native laund and the
shelter of her mother's roof. The
"rat uity allowed her by hor mother
ias long been aCel)table. There is
only too much truth in the sad stories

Light ('oln to be Stanpcd.
The following notice was pasted on the
bulletin boa-d of the Sub-''reasurv yester
(1av:
'On and after August 1, lttt), all gold
eliin below llgai weight will, ii nder instrue
lions received from Ilie Sccretary of the
'Treasurv, he stamnlped 'light,' as the same
is presentcd at the Sub-Treasury.'
Thlie necessity for this new rule, as cx
plhiined at the S,th-Treasuiry, is this: 'There
is a law which fixes the coin 'limit of toler
ance"-the point to which coins may be
wor or abr1..aded, an1 d still lbe worth. their
fa(ce vah lie-at one'-hialf of 1 per cent. : this
ien s thlat when a gold doillarI in thie course
of its use loses one-half cent of its value in
wectit it e-ises to be worthi $1 as a legal
nder, and is wor-th only its weight as gold
nerc (liamdise. Entil about four ~'ear's ago
it waisariule oif thie oflicers at thc Ncow-York
-nui-Treuasiury to stamp all coins outside of
he4 limit of tolei-ance with a letter "L,
~ignifying that they were of light weight.
Bitt de'positor's r-aised onu outcry against
lie muitilat ion of national coins, and an
>rdler came from Washington directing thme
'ubl-T'reasuriy here to quit its stamping
b)usiness. 'The result was that though
light weight coins were once rejected at the
Sub-Tireasiiry, they still kept coming in a
regularistrecam. rThe same abraded coin
wouldi be offered over andI over again four
or live times during one week. Tnemr was
nothiing to distinguish thiejr light weight,
and often they wore detected only because
tin clerks of the Sub-Treasury, wvithi their
delienite touch, the result of years of prac
tice, could dletect the lightness of weight,
when to ani ordinary busmness man the coin1
would have nothing in its appearance out
of the oirdinary. Often it happened that
in one bog of gol cons tho abraslon of
thie pieces wvill nmake as total of $15i or muore
uinder the full-wveighft valuo, thiou~h the
loss to each coin is scarecly pecrcep)tible.

A Lion 'Taner's Eacapeo.
The fascinated Englishman who i:s said
to have followed about for 10 years liidel,
the celebrated lion tamer, and to have
watched his every performance in time ex
pectation of witnessing the inevitale acci
dent, has at length met with a part of his
reward. A few nights ago Ilidel was at
tacked and diaarmed by his performling
lion Hultan, who 14 years ago signalized his
arrival in Paris by killing a man. T'he
brute stood over his master and proce('ded
to get to work with his claws, when lidel
raised himself, and getting well unader Sul
tan, by an effort of almost superhumana
strength, hurled him off through the open
door of a cage, which was promptly closed.
It was found that the tamer had 17 wounds
on his neck anl shoulders; but, not with
standing, ho presented himself befit the
spectators, streaming with hhod :s he was,
and proposed to continue the xhlibition,
and show that lie and not Sultan was'rally
master. 'T'his was, of course, not l,er
mitted; bit the performances have' r,", ,nm

released from the spell, will probably stll
