NEXT WEEKST. JAMES' PRESBYTERAIN CHURCH

— The " News Letter " gives the following details of the Anglesey story, which was hinted at in the August mail news. '' A very pretty story is the latest Anglo-Parisian one. Sixty years, all but one, had Lord Anglesey lived and loved, when he persuaded a pretty American, Mrs. Wetmore by name, to try and get a divorce from her spouse, in which event the venerable peer said he would make her his second Marchioness. The lady got the divorce, but, on claiming his lordship's hand, found he had engaged himself to another ' pretty American. ' Lord A. offered Mrs. W. £600 a year as compensation for her outraged feelings. Infuriated, she said she would commit suicide first, and retired to the house of Lady Albert Pelham- Clinton for the purpose. But instead of taking poison, she preferred brandy, with the result that she died of congestion of the brain. The Marquis was married shortly after to the other one. It is strange that that the Pagets are mixed up so many painful episodes of modern society. The present scandal has fluttered the Anglo - American dovecotes in Paris, and the wretched tale is a curiously significant specimen of the rampant immorality of the upper classes of the present day." Lord Mountmorris, who has been shot in Ireland, was the fourth Viscount of that name. He was in his 52nd year, and had a family of five children, the eldest of whom, William Geoffrey Bonchaid de Montmorrency, a boy of eight years old, succeeds him. The Montmorris family seat is Ebor Hall, Blonbur, County Galway.
