MARQUIS OF QUEENS BERRY'S SISTER MARRYING A BAKER

Within the last few .lays (-tvs fl>— London eorre-pondent at the ,1/ nu-l. .p, ,',V-o 7 -oi) several mysterious paragraphs hj ive appeared in diff-t-nt le wsp ip--r- stating that the sister of a w.-ii-known Mar.juis had lately marth-d a min not only much younger than h-r- -If, hut nl-o gr.m*lv below lier in ihe -oeiai -eile. Tie- f -e-t- ~| theea-e are-imply these. The. Rv Lard Archibald Dongli-. a brother of the M u.juis of i,laeen-biay anil of Lady Florence Dixie, joined the (Jh ir.-h ■.! Rome some yens ago, ami after the usual course of .-tmly ami probation, was ordaineil a priest by Cirdiual Manning. Since then he his il v..'.-.] hi- life an-1 money toward- tie- re 1 .;n ati-m of boy-, '• waifs and-trays," from the streets, to whom he gives a home, ten lies them u-e----fill trades, ami then -tart- them in life. At the institution whim he ins fonnie.i and maintains, and where lie always reside-, situated in ' tooCti.-Mt'-rra--. Hairow-ro id. Paddington, there are some 70 or 80 of these lads, all of whom are being trained to be indn-trion- welting men. But tbe housekeeping, tin- eating and drinking of so many individuals is naturally a source of anxiety to Lord Archibald, and, although greatly assisted by tbe subscriptions of his co-religionists and others, he fiude that the good old rule of “ waste not, want, util," is not observed by those who have charge of providing for tbe wants of so large an establishment. In order to put matters upon a more satisfactory footi-.gr, be invited bis sister, Lady (ier. rude Douglas, who is also a convert to the Catholic. Church, to live with him, and since then matters have been on a much more satisfactory footing. Some three months ago Lord Archibald went to Canada, taking with him forty boys of the Home, for the purpose of establishing them as fanners in the far West. During his absence he received a letter from hisister stating that she was about to marry a young man who had been brought up by her brother, and who was now acting aliead baker of the establishment. His lord-hip was greatly taken aback bv the news, and telegraphed and wrote from Canada urging' his sister at any rate to delay her intended marring- until his return. Hut it was of no avail. The happy couple were rainicd off-hand in the Roman Catholic Church at Hammersmith, and have game to reside in that neighborhood. Lady (.'ert.rndc has some little means of her own. It is needless to say that, the Ko'intn Cith-die community in London has beta not a lit la agitated by this marriage. The lady is related to some of the most aristoeratin families in the kingdom, her own dating'back several hundred years. Her husband is barely 21 Years of age.
