Actresses and the Peerage.

Lady Savbkxakh has not been unmindful of family ties and sisto'rJy duties. She has mado it her first thought to marry hor sister wall, Miss Jenny Tester is at least as pretty as her sistor, is several yews younger, and has just married the heir to Lord Ly veden. Socioty has not mado much fuss over this event, and it is no wonder, for it has gono through so much of lato that nothing scorns to etartlo tho upper crust. We need not go very far into tho peerage to solect a few beautiful and ontcrprising womon who have a fair opportunity of wearing coronets on their dyed locks. First there is Kitty Cook, now Lady Eiwton, who will bo Duchess of Grafton; and next there is Kate Vaughan, who has two lives botween hor and tho Cowloy Countess-ship. It is not n little curious of prospective poors to ally themselves in the way they aro doing with tho "lower orders.'' Nor is this all. Look at the alliances pf the bygone times. Tho first of tho Beauclerks was the son of Noll Owyono, an ex-orange-girl and actress, who formed ono of tho well-stockod harom of that "most religious King," Charles 11. Nell was a charming frank person, who represented Protestantism at tho Court under difii culties. Everybody liked hor for her beauty and candour, and v certain abiding root of goodnoas in hor nature which elevated her many degrees above such unrodeomediy vicious characters as those 01 Barbara Palmer and Louiso do Quorouuillo. Archbishop Tonbon preached her funeral service to the edification of the general JNeliV older son, when a more infant, was made Earl of Burford, and aliibirtcen years of use ho was raised to tho dflKodom of St. Mbans. and made Registrar of the Court of Chancery and Hereditary Grand Falconer. Later he i»as appointed Lord of tho Bedchamber and Captain of the Band of Gentlemen Pensioners. Was there ever since, the Great Flood such an office as this heard ot. Conceive of a review of this gallant band in Hyde Park, with tho captain at the head oi tho column ! All London would flock to see a spoctaole fo imposing, so patriotic, livery soul would be satisfied that we arc getting full valuo for our money.

We believe that if every ono would use Hop Bitters freely there would bo much less f»=f' '<-»» and misery in tho world, and people aro fast finding this out, whole familios keeping welll ai a trifling cost by its use. We adviso all to try it. Head.
