A MELBOURNE SCANDAL.
One of the scandals of the day (says the Melbourne Correspondent of,a contemporary) which so far has given much comfort to those who attend five o’clock teas, has been the elopement of Mr Berry’s daughter. It would appear that the laiy, who is of matured charms, fell in love - with the painter and upholsterer who was doing up her father's neat villa, and' as there was little hope or the parent.: consenting, they fled ! to-' gether. Mr Berry, although he likes the “ ’orny Ended ’’ as "applauders af a meeting, and voters at the ballot-box, draws the line of intimacy at their becoming sons-in-law, so pursued !the couple in a buggy. To make ’ matters worse, the swain bad the appellation of Doherty, which .1 need, not say is thoroughly Italian, and a nation whose vote-threw Mr Berry out in the cold,. Whether Mr Berry has caught ; the fugitives is not yet known, but as'there has been no announcement of the wedding, I am inclined to think he has been abll to avert that evil for a time.
