An Eccets-tiuc Pekr. — The London correspondent of tho Cardiff Times gives this bit of mysterious gossip : — " All the word is talking of a peer of the realm, a bridegroom of only a few weeks, who since his marriage has broken out in the wildest and most eccentric way, and is behaving himself so strangely that if his conduct continues an aßylum must be sought for him. As captain of a corps, he took his men to church, left them at the door and retired to a hotel, there got drunk, became forthwith so generous with liis gold that the waiter netted several weeks' earnings by one Sunday morning's work, and finally gave instructions which had to be countermanded by his colonel. Next clay lie was distributing £5 notes to his hostlers. He makes nothing of ordering a special train if he wants to go a short distance. A pleasant state of things this for a bride. Ifc is to be hoped that she can solace herself with the coronet which was so remorsely forced upon her." 3 l
