A PEER AND HIS SON.

The New York correspondent, of - the London Daily Chronicle, cabling from New York, rays that the Earl of Tanker - ville has arrived there with his I eldest) j son, Lord Ossulston, whom he is catering in a collegiate preparatory school at- Boston. - After a course at this school it is the? intention, of Lord Tankerville to enter his son at one of the American universities, Lord Ossulston has been removed from Eton College, where he has been for time, because his father desires him. to have an American education. In an interview on ■ the subject Lor«( Tankerville said: "I am desirous that mjj $j boy should be self-reliant and a worker ; like the men in this country. For thii reason I have removed him from the British atmosphere of Conservatism, and brought him to the freer air of America, where I expect him to learn 'to' do ; for himself. I believe in 'the, Bible Wing, * If ye do not work neither .shall .ye 'W^^ffi|| The fact that Lord Ossulston's mother , is an American, the daughter of the late Mr. Van Marte'r, of New York, probably has something to do with the earl's desire. J to give his boy an American education. \ It is a curious coincidence, however,; that the rich Mrs. Bateman Leeds, of, New,' York, has just brought her son to Eng-t - land for his education, because she considers England so much more desirable j than America for the bringing .up of an; .; heir to a fortune. She also; considers that ; boys are made more refined in England ; than in America. Mfi ,_V. . r..,':iifffc
