Perfti and Melfoif, engaged" the nf
fcCtioUHef hercliaige, theeai V grand
gon ami heir of his ancient house.
The boy, Lord Druimnoiid, was but
four years younger than herself and
was leit alnuwt entirely in the eare
and company of his governess, in
whom every confidence was reposed.
Xhe household was suddenly startled
one morning by the discovery that
the young governess had mil away
with the heir. The young couple a
few days afterward returned to Drurn
moml c:ist !e from London and begged
the earl's forgTvefles&fiUl the' proud
noble, in a storm indignation at
what he deemed a a nadalion of Ills
bomu-ed name, ordered his heir frtm
hie presence ami-forbade his ever en
tering the ancestral halls again. With
romantic ardor the young lord vow
ed never to desert his bride or to re
turn to Scotland until he returned as
Earl of Perth, unless his wife was
receivetlas Lady Drumtuoiid, and
took at once Kleeruge passage for
America at (j'.ascow. At the instance
of a lady belonging to an old and re
spected New York family, whose
name is withTiehi at her earnest re
quest, your correspondent has been
entraircd in an investigation as to the
whereabouts of Lord Druuthiond.
Tlris lady has been absent many
years in South and Central" America
with her late husband and made the
acquaintance of Lord Drumniond's
mother, the widowed Lady Capei,
during her sojourn at Lima, where
she died in 1868.
Traveling
about
mean-
the world a good" deal in the
time, tliiri lady heard, while in Mexi
co last summer, of the romantic mar
riage of the son of her old friend and
the abandonment of his family and
friends. Recently her husband died,
leaving to her a rich gold miii'-f in
Yucatan, now being worked with
much profit. The marriage of her
only (laughter allowed this lady to
return to New York and put into
execution a long-cherished design, to
find and befriend the voimc noble.

house, "Gang Warily," had loved not

resulted in the discovery of this scion
of an ancient house and the kinsman
of Queen VietoriaTat work as a por
ter in a wholesale clothing house in
Broadway. The noise of a constant
ly ascending and desceuing freight
levator and the calls of half a score
ol clerks and j; i ters nailing up boxes
truudling theui hither and thither
made the shijpin--room of Carhart,
Wlritford & Co., a- busy scene when
the reporter descended into the base
ment in search of the long-lost her to
a British earldom.
"Is George Drummond here?" was
asked of a perspiring youth, who was
wheeling a load to the elevator in
frenzied haste.
"Drummond ?" he repeated with
out stopping!, or turniug his head.

ceremony repeated.
Then, iu order to fully conceal his
identity, the future earl assumed tlie
plebiau name of George Johnson and
went to work as a shipping clerk in
a w-holesaio flour house in South
street. There he remained working
steadily fur about two years, until his
employers collapsed in the panic of
1873. The youthful couple would
have lured hard during the following
months but for timelv remittances
from the wife's family, which kept
them above actual want. Giving up
the city in disgust they finally took
up their quarters in a hut on Yap
hank meadows, near Brookhaven,
Long Island. Here for about five
years they lived a miserable, seclud
ed life, 4iGeorgc," as the tall, awk
ward youth was generally called by
his neighbors, supporting his wife
and himself bv scanty earnings in
fishing and shooting. The birth of a
son and heir in March, 1878, caused
a ripple in his lethargic life, and in
the following summer the young fa
ther meeting Mr. Carhart and some
friends, who were spending a vaca
tion in the vicinity, made himself
known and enlisted Mr. Carhart's in
terest in his desire to obtain work in
the city. Mr. Carhart verified the
young boatman's story on his return
to town and soon afterward gave him
a place in the brushing department
promising to advance him as the bar
nacles which bad overgrown his early
character and cultivation were rubbed
oflT. Except wbileTon a voyage to the
West Indies in a schooner a year ago,
Lord Drummond has been iu the em
ploy of Carhart, Whitford & Co.,
ever since, advancing a little, but
still half shipping clerk and half
porter, and evincing much more
inclination for physical than for men
tal exertion.
A garbled account of his discovery
on Long Island six years ago, which
apppeared in several of the papers
at the time, caused his family to take
a renewed iuterest in the lost heir.
At the solicitation of his father, the
Duke of Argyle, and of his brother,
the Marquis of Lome, Lord Walter
Campbell, then engaged in business
here, repeatedly visited Lord Drum

Paris, July 3. At the Cabinet
Council to day, Prime Minister Foray
stated that the Chinese Foreign Board
did not disavow the action of the
Chinese regular troops at Langsau.
The Board admitted that the Chinese
army had obeyed its orders to retain
I possession of that city, though this
was contrary to the secoud article of
the recent Franco-Chinese treaty,
which provided for the immediate
withdrawal of the Chinese garrison.
Chinese, however, contended that the
evacuation of'frontier towns was con-
ditiopal upon the signature of a defi-
nite treaty between France and China,
China also refused to recognize the
stipulations agreed upon betweeu Li

The Red Thread of Honor.
It is related of Sir Charles Napier's
campaign of the Upper Sciude, that a
sergeant with eleven men became sep
arated from the rest of his command.
An officer signaled an order to return,
but thev mistook the signal for a
command to charge. There were
seventy of the foe belli ud a breast
work at the summit of the mountain.
They fell there, these brave eleven,
after slaying twice their number.
There is, it is said, a custom among
the robber tribe which these brave
meu fought, that wheu one of their
great warriors is killed iu battle,
ihey bind the wrist with a thread
either of red or green the red for the
highest rank.
When the British found the stark
bodies of their eleven brave comrades
around both wrists of each they saw
the red thread. These robbers and

these self-sauctified followers of Re

we imagine that things would take a

be so mean as to attempt to
swear every negro editor agaiust Re

single negro paper in the State, for
if Democratic patronage should be
withheld the last one of them would
lie compelled to suspend, which would
be just what these latter day masters
desire. They fear every negro paper

Te arc somevhat curious to know
i
at what particular time in Dr. York's
existence he ceased to a Liberal Demo-
crat and became a Republican. He
was elected as a Liberal Democrat.
Hundreds of men voted for him under
the impression that he was a better
Democrat than those who oppose him
and now they are informed by him
self that he is not a Liberal Demo
crat but a Republican, that he eudor
ses the Republican platform and

his con.-titucnts would like to know
