Romantic Story of an Earl’s Daughter.

A New York correspondent of the Chicago Times tells a romantic story of a young lady now residing in the former city, who may he seen daily passing through the streets or riding in the streetcars from her home to the suburbs with a roll of manuscript in lier hand, on her way to the offices of the magazines or the weekly papers, trying to dispose of the productions upon which she is dependent for her daily bread. She is the daughter of tlie Earl of Gainsborough, whose London Residence is on Cavendish Square, is the ownOr of the superb estates aud palaces of Exton Park, Oakham and Cottesmore, in Rutlandshire, besides Campden House, in Gloucestershire; but his brilliant daughter, Lady Blanche, whose baptismal name, as will be seen by reference to any recent edition of “Burke’s Peerage,” was Blanche Elizabeth Mary Anunciata, is lost to his sight, if not to his memory. Her mother, the deceased wife of the Earl Of Gainsborough, was Lady Augusta, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Erroll. Her two brothers are Viscount Campden and Lord Edward, and her two younger sisters are Lady Georgiana and Lady Frances. While in her twenty-first year she fell in love with a young organist named Murphy, and, contrary to the wish ot her family, she marrie'dhim. The mesalliance of the daughter of so great a house was a surprise and horror to the Earl, who in his wrath disowned her, forbade her returning to the ancestral halls, and cut her off from all the heritage of the family. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy soon experienced the trials of penury and adversity in London, and four years ago, or within the first year after their marriage, they arrived in New York, where they again felt the pressure of straitened circumstances. But Lady Blanche was persevering, and some of her sparkling manuscripts soon found acceptance and brought her a,little income. Among other things she contributed to the Galaxy a series of brilliant essays on English high life and the English aristocracy which attracted much notice. The American citizen is around, and the fast-mail trains have done the arousing. The American citizen wants to know why passenger trains cannot run as , fast as mail trains. He is perfectly willing to risk it. —Detroit Free Press. The latest discovery at Pompeii is that of the figure of a woman lighting a fire in the cook-stove while her husband is asleep in bed.
