MARRIAGE OF SIR H.

TICHBOENK,

(from our, special correspondent.)

Loft.DOK, September 16,

Tiik social event of the week has been th° marriage of the young Sir Henry Tichborne to Lady Gwendoline Petre. Since the un fortunate Duk« of Norfolk's wedding there lias been no similar ceremony of equal im portance in Catholic circles, and the raus. ter of influential Romanists at Whitley Abbey was very large. Prominent amongst the public spectators at the church was a young soldier, a private in a foot regiment He attracted but little attention till the whisper went round that the young fellow was none other than " Sir Roger's heir." It is not, however, altogether true I believe that he went up to Sir Henry subsequently and said, " Surely, cousin, this is not right. You wouldn't rob Peter to pay Paul, would you? Then why rob poor Roger to pay Petre V"

The Mltcliolstown Massacre,

The debate in the Commons on the Mitchclntown massacre was one ot the motfb interesting , I have ever listened to. Ido not, as a rule, approve of the Irish mem bers' methods and manners, but on this oc casion fcheir conduct certainly was irre proachable. Mr Dillon brought home the facts of the Mitchelstosvn affair to the House with sledge hammer force. The Ministerialists tried not to believo him, wished not to believe him, bub they couldn't help it. Every accent boro the impress of strict truth. Mr Parnell was also most powerful. With passionate earnestness he solemnly warned the Government of the terrible consequences of such tragedies as the one under discussion. It would not be in his power to avert them. Ireland's blood was up, and all the good that Mr Gladstone's pacific measures had achieved was undone.

The Exotor Holooauat,

The funerals of tho victims of the Exeter holocaust seem to have been associated with some revolting scandals. The poorer classes made the occasion of the principal burials a regular holiday, the women turn ing up at'the cemetery with perambulators and picnic baskets, and tho men with bottles of liquor. Those who weren't vul garly curious were either noisy or maudlin, and general disorder prevailed. These horrors culminated with the appearance of a miserable clergjman, apparently much the worse for liquor. I!e had to read service over the body of a young girl, who happened t.D have died of consumption about that time, and was being buried in a grave adjacent to those of the lire's victims. At tirsfc tho crowd thtughfc the rev. gentle man must be ill, but when he mixed up tho marriage with the burial service, and finally broke oft" suddenly and stumbled about, the truth became only too pain fully apparent. An indignant rush was made to lynch him, and with very great difficulty some friends and other clergymen, who fortunately came up, got the,old man away. Subsequently he was charged at the Police Court with being diuink, and denied the offence. As there hail been no disorderliness in Mr Intrlo's conduct, and as ho would certainly be severely dealt with by the Bishop, the magistrates thought it better to dismiss tho case.

The inquiry into the causes of the Exeter iiro has revealed tho awkward fact that when tho theatre was licensed the local inspectors (who were, how ever, without official status) advised the addition of another door to the fatal gallery, and that their recommendation v/as ignored. Mr Phipps, F.S.A., the architect of this and some 40 other theatres, has come in for some severe, and on the whole, I think, de served criticism. IV Was certainly he ob jected to the extra door.

An Extraordinary Fraud.

When Benson, the hero of the great Do Goncourfc frauds, was released from durance vile about 18 months aga, after undergoing a prolonged period of penal servitude,, it may be remembered that some of the news papers ventured to deplore the turning loose of such an ingejiious scoundrel on society. Mr Benson was much hurt by their insinuations, and gob a clergyman friend to say so. Whilst in prison heliad he declared seen the error of his ways and reformed. His health was completely broken down, and all he asked was to be allowed to live out the of his wrecked life in peace and quiet, on a small annuity which a relative had thoughtfully left him. For soma months the man's conduct was blameless. The police, however, persisted in keeping their eye upon him. Wherever he went he was " supervised," and so irksome did the reformed '"eharp" iind this system of " shadowing" that no one was very much surprised when one nicrht he dis appeared. Tho papers and the police said he had gone to Australia,, and bhe latter even knew the name of the Orient boat by which he travelled. There can, however, how be no doubt that Benson put the authorities on a false scent. He took a berth on the Orient steamer himself, but another person (similar in appearance) really occupied it. This double left Benson free to recommence life on the' Continent in the character of Mr Clinchwocd, an Ameri can of means and position. Hβ took up his residence at Geneva, and there made the acquaintance of Dr. Kees, a retired officer of the Indian army, and hie daughter. The latter, sl very charming girl, fell in love with the handsome, and fascinating adventurer, and the jpair presently gofc engaged to be married. Mr Clinch - wood madd hie fiancit a present of some splendid diamonds valued (he said) at £4,000, and also placed in his fatnue father in-law's hands bonds of various sorts worth £7,000. These were deposited with much formality in Kees's strong box ab a Geneva' bank. Mr Clinchwood then explained that he should have to tun over to the States to settle up hie aflairs before fche wedding, and casually offered, as Dr. Kees had expressed a wish to invest £7.000 in American stock, to see to the transaction for him. The doctor innocently thanked his prospective son-in-. law and handed over the cash. Up to this point, Benson had succeeded admirably; now, however, he blundered. The rascal should have proceeded direct to America, but the temptation to look up his old friends and confederates, the Kerrs at Bremen, proved irresistible. Unfortu nately, the Kerrs had been more thaH once "in trouble" abroad since their release from Portland, and were well watched by German detectives. Benson's identity soon became obvious, and private inquiries were instituted into the recent doings of "Mr Clinch wood."; Dr. Kees, enlightened as to the character of his prospective son-in-law, proceeded hurriedly to the Bank. His strong box was called for, and the contents exam?ned. Need I say the diamonds #ero paste, and the securities. waste paper 7 Benson and the Kerrs had everything pre pared for flight when the police arrested them. I fear the former gentleman will not have another opportunity of exercliing his fascinations on the fair sex for some years to conle. Whilst ab Dartmoor he attempted to commit suicide, you may reihember.

THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS Showtho Utilityof LAMB'S PATENT PORRIDGE MEAL. Auckland, June 14,1887; John Lamb, Esq. , r 1 ~ I Dear Sir,—lt has been on •my mind for some time now to dropTOU a line about your Patent: Porridge Meal.' I believe you are aware I have, suiter ed considerably from injury tothe stomach' from: tea-tasting; and having consulted ray medical adviser, he sti-ongly recommended Porridge lot breakfast, which I have taken ■ until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I mayhere say the Oatmeal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimplea andspots, with Irritation, on the surface of the body. From this 1 was glad to get away.and at orico took to your I'atcnt Porridge Meal.' ' With it I iihd none of tho irregularities com plained of above; but a most palatable Porridge, andthe whole -system' free : fronv unpleasantness" or irritation. 1 ctin strongly recommend it, and ■ certainly think you should do a large trade _ia such an excellent artielfe.—Yours very truly; ' (Sigiied) FREDK. WHITEHEAD. \ Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland, June % 1887. Mr John Lamb. Sii-j—We have now been -using your Patent Porridge : Meal at tliis BCliool for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that wo all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that Ihvouldflnd it a difficult matter to get them to return to using oatmeaK It is without a d bubfc a splendid article of diet. 1 may add on my representing to the Education Department Iα Wellington tliat I was using your Patent Por-. ridge Meal instead- of Oatmeal; I received authority from Rev. Mr Habens, Secretary for Education, to continue its uao-JD. the school, —Yotirs faithfully, . X_i (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, , Ponson Auckland, '' ■, ''- ; : 1887. Mi , John Lamb ] Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to 4et you tfnow - results of your Patent Porridge Mai on oui youngest boy. He was weakly, and refused every food preparation that cou'd be got, but upon getting sonic of'yours he took to it at once, and after wards[-nothing would satisfy nim but this porridge. Five or six tinies a day is not too much foi' nim,' and' seeing it being propared cried until he got it. Ho is now strong and healthy, aiid can- eat anything. Wishing you Buocess,—! remain, yours, &c, (Signed) W. CARDER. : ' . Orphan Home, ParnelL '■ ; . May 25,1887. Mr John Lamb-. Dear Sir,—We are greatly pleased with your .
