THE TWO TICHBORNES.

A slim, shy, falr-halrad lad with watery eyes and an unwholesome complexion. Snch Is Sl* H. A. J. Ticnborne the “rightful heir,” on whose belts’f the claims of Castro alias Orton alias Sir Roger, were so triumphantly resisted just fourteen years ago (said a London co. respondent on May 21st .) I saw the yonog baronet at Cardinal Manning’s reception the ether evening, and he naturally attracted a good deal of attention. His Eminence Introduced him to Lord Bipon, Lord Denbigh, Sir Charles Clifford, and other notable Catboll s, and did his Vest to set him at ease, but the young fellow seems hopelessly nervous and shy. He Is just of age, and wiU have to go about a bit doting the next few weeks: The estates bsva been carefully “nursed” during his minority, so that despite the heavy costs of the famous case Sir Harr/ is a fairly rich man. On the same evening that the “ rightful heir ” made hla debut In London society, the luckless “Claimant lectured in Oanarvon upon bis troubles. The room (a friend who happened to be there tells mo) was only half fall, and no one seemed ti fake much interest in the old man’s ramblin' 'statement. Young “ Roger,” the claimant’s son, ha? enlisted, and his sister plays small parts in melodrama at the Ba-.1-end theatres; It ie psther an odd thing that this young Roger bears a far stronger resemblance to the tead|Hnnal Tiohbornes than Sir Harry. At least so people say.
