THL DAILY KVlsmNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1871. LOVES OF LOUISE AND LOHNE. THB DOTAL M AKRIAOIS STORY OF THE E1R8T 1X)VK AND REJECTION OF THE MARQUH OF LORN HOW HB WA8 JILTED BT THi1 DAUGHTER Or A COMMONER HE rLOOS HIS RIVAL, AND BET8 HIM TJP AS A TAVERN KlErER. An Edinburgh correspondent of the N. Y. W orld writes: Men end women whom fortune has placed in such a situation that in worldly matters tbey are far above the ordinary run of mankind, whose joys and sorrow, loves and bates, find their be-all and end-all in the circumstances of very-day life, can not escape from their human nature, and therefore are often obliged to suffer more than other folks, simply because they cannot do what they want to do, even when their desires are for the most natural and commonplace of things. Mary Queen of Boots could not even live, since Elizabeth hated, without having cauue to fear, her. Arabella Stuart could not live quietly with her husband, Mr. Seymour, because she was royally connected Amy llobsart was in the Earl of Leicester's way to advancement, and therefore she had to die at Cnmnor II all. History is full of the sorrows of royal houses sorrows which have at tracted the sympathy of commoners, because they, too, could feel similar ones, and around which a haze of romance has ever lingered, because they are so far removed from the troubles of ordinary beings. It seems that, in this particular, history is now repeating itself in the approaching mar riage of the reluctant Princess Louise to the Marquis of Lome. The house from which she is sprung is not particularly noted for fiery passions, or ven for any peculiar tendency towards romance, and it may be that the amiable Princess will forget the sorrows of her youth as time goes on and she becomes the mother of a large and charming family; but the apathy of age is no recompense for the heart-sufferings of early life, which men, indeed, forget, but which often embitter a woman's whole existence, although as a wife she may endeavor to forget them, and as a mother a new life may open to her, and new interests distract her thoughts from memories of the dead, irrevocable past. As to the Princess herself, she is an amia ble woman who, being twenty-two years of age, has already passed the period when a great passion can be formed, especially when, as seems to be the case, a true and tender attachment has to be forgotten, and one has to bb on ita ftn ld love. Hints of the existence CS such BQ attachment have latterly been thrown on ! th6 English newspapers, covert? it is true, but CBiiJ understood when the following extraot from a ieiCCI writte.& y an English lady to a friend in thin city read; . And the poor princess. Ah i how my heart bleeds for her and for another. But such la al ways the fate of greatness. Sometimes when I think of the princess, I think of Arabella Stuart, In Mr. James' novel they cannot wed those whom they love. Do yoa remember when we were at Biarritz, and that poor Baron P e, who used to wander about with such a sad face and such wild, wild eyes, and his hands ever hidden in his bosom (and 1 found out afterwards It grasped the handle ol a pistol just lite Werther that Auntie used to cry about), as If to repress the wild beating of his heart? You know lie never bathed, but used to go down to the beach and look, ahl so sadly, at the moaning of the waves and cool his brow In the dashing spray of the Villa Eugenie. After vou had gone to Dijon, I became ac quainted with the Baron, and iu a most romantic way. 1 was -sluing in the parlor of our hotel think ing of thee, ma chert, and running my fingers list lessly over the keys of the piano. At last 1 began to play 'The Last Hope." It was about dark, and I suppose the Baron must have opened the door softly, for I never heard him. But suddenly I heard a sigh, and looking up, the Baron stood beside me, aud the tears were flowing from his eyes. I hail pitied him so long and my heart was so fulL that I began to weep too. Be did sot speak for a little while, and when be did, his voice was so ohoked with tears that I caught only the words, "Ach Oottl Ach Oott! Und auch melne Stotrnoing 1st gesch wlodet, gesta gen, verloren!" which you know, dear, is the Ger man "Ah, God! ah. God! And my hope, too, Is vanished, gone, lost!' It was dreadfully Improper, 1 know, but I could not help It, and so I spoke to him, and we talked lor a long time, not noticing the people who came in and out, en til at last Anile came down stairs and I Introduced the Baron. But he didn't stay long after that, and when he had 5 one I went to ray room and read. "Le Roman d'un eune Homme Pauvre" till late in the night, and then I went to bed and sobbed myself to eU.ep, for I knew that there was some terrible tragedy la tie Barons Ufa " n ell, after that I used to meet the Baron almost every day, and, If I hadn't been so full of pity for his hidden sorrow, 1 think I should have grown ennuyet it lui. Auntie never objected to it, for everybody liked him except the men, many of whom, for all their politeness, are at heait coarse and un sympathetic. Barry Lorimer even called him "a spoon," and added, la bis funny way, that I can't kelp laughing at, though it vexes me, that I was sipping warm negus with him. One day he told.me the story of his hie. He is of ancient family, out one which Is not now so wealthy as once it was, although it is by no means poor. Ills famtly Is one of the oldest and proudest In Saxony, and mauy of its members have occupied the highest otllces. So you see It wouldn't have been at all beneath the dignity of Prince Albert's daughter to marry him, and the Queen would never have Interfered with the a 11 air at all but for her abominable per verseness, as J think it, and if Intermeddling people had not come between the two they would nave been married four years ago, and she would have been happy, too, for the Baron la one of the tenderest of men, and It's a shame that hla hopes Bhould have been blighted as they have been. Tne Baron studied at Tubingen and Is an inddelof a certain sort. Be explained the matter to me, but I didn't understand a word of It, and it shocked me, but one finds so many unbelievers here that oue gets over one's prejudices against them. I know it is not right, but I know too that It is wrong for a mother to blight her daughter's early years by refus ing her sanction to a marriage between two loving hearts on any such grounds, and from what the Baron told me I judge that his infidelity was at bottom the reason why the Qaeen would not let her daughter marry him. Auntie says the Queen was right, and I think that she would have been so, had the Btrou been anybody else. However, he Cist met the Prin cess at a ball given in her honor at the residence of Prince von A e about live years ago, when she was a pretty, meek-faced girl In her teens. He loved her at first sight ;lshe looked, as he says, "to hold und tckcen. Her eye, which really are her beauty, bone like stars into his soul, which," besays, "bad hitherto been dark and gloomy." They danced to gether, and conversed about ever so many things, and afterwards were thrown much together until tbey learned to love. Nobody had expected that it would be so, and when finally the Princess returned to England, she told her mother of the whole affair, and sue at first was not unwilling to have the Baroa as a son-in-law, being au affectionate mother who wished to set her child happy. When the Princess went to Balmoral the Baron followed her, but received rebutr after rebuff, for the Queen had changed her mind already, and the Barou was not Invited todlneatthe catle, and alto gether was treated In a way to wound anybody's feelings, lie bad no lnterv lews with the Princess, and was obliged to return to Germany a disap pointed man. He says that the Pilncess was ren dered actually insane tor a time by the heartless conduct of her mother, and be believes that her heart is yet his own. Thus far the letter takes us in the history of this affair, and, if the sentimental covering be removed, the fact appears that TUmn P a and the Princess Louise were at one time desperately in love with eaoh other, and that the name is burning ret. for on what other grounds can the settled melanoholy of M "W ? 1 a a .a a me x-nncesH, wmcn naa frequently been re marked, be accounted for? a melancholy which has of late grown more and more ap parent, rendering necessary the almost ooa etant attendance upon her of Dr. Layoook, who, it is minor ed, baa advised the indefinite postponement of the marriage, which, if post poned, would probably never be consum mated, a state of affairs which, perhaps, would be far from displeasing to the Marquis cf Lorne. The story in regard to the JIarquLj of Lome, and -evident .proofs of its accuracy are not wanting, is the story of a tiff or lovers' quar rel, foolish, and in this instance, one would say, not a whit more justifiable than anoh affairs generally are. The Marquis inherits much of the stormy temper as well as philo sophio ability of his father, the Duke of Argyll, and perhaps his philosophy has got the better of him in this marriage. He was alwaySj headstrong, dashing, and physically courageous, although his moral oourage appears not to be great enough to allow of bis correcting a mistake which will be very likely to cause a vast deal of trouble to him self, bin wife, and a good many other people who are entirely innocent. (' Of course, no body but a man's own self has a right to say whether or not he will keep his marriage vows, and a suit for breach of promise, should be suddenly withdraw from his con tract to marry the Princess and return to his former love, would not be so natural a con sequence as it would be in this country. Is a town not far from the castle in which the Marquis lives there is a tavern, in which he and kindred spirits were aoonstomed to meet at night, some years ago, and discuss politics, philosophy, morals, dogs, whisky, and other entertaining questions of the day. One of the habitues of this hoitolry was a laird with a bumpy forehead, a decided ten dency towards philosophy, and no dislike whatever to Scotch whisky. LTe was old enough to remember Dr. Maginn, Kit North, and other worthies of the old time, who used to meet at Ambrose's, in Edin burgh, where they made up the greater part of the "Noctes Amorosianre," a book by which the old gentlemen was aoonstomed to swear. He had the notions of the old time in regard to Toryism and respectability in all questions, and the Marquis had many an amicable encounter with him, and at that period of his life, being addicted to low com- E anions and whisky, made philosophically ot, he beoame quite intimate with the old gentleman, who, of course, was well pleased to be taken home by him one night, stopping at various places to wrench off turnpike gates and throw them into the river, for the laird, even in bis old age, retained many of the frivolities of youtb,and, like an old reprobate as he was, gloried in them. This laird had a daughter, apparently a combination of Burns' "Mary in Heaven," Helen Mar, Jeanie Deans, aud the Highland fling. She was more beautiful than Lochna gar and Ben Lomond when the rising sun gilds them with transcendent glory, but she was not so tall. The Marquis was taking the laird home one evening, or rather very early next morning. It had been the evening of the anniversary of the birth of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burus. The morning was calm and beautiful. Far off was heard the shrill crowing of the cock, answered from a thou sand barn yards, and the two enjoyed the scene, .in a fit condition to do so. This may be consiue a ridiculous condi tion for a man when firBt he meets fci? sweet heart, but at that time the Marquis was wild in the extreme. He was partially alienated from his father on account of his liberal views in religion. His father, who was then preparing for the press his "lieign of Law," had wished his son to aid him in its composi tion; but, inasmuch as the Marquis1 views were radically opposod to those of the Duke, any amalgamation of the two was rendered impossible. Lorne had just returned from the university, and was full of the liberalism of the day a worshipper of Mill, and almost an ultra-materialist. The disagreement in ways of thinking had brought about some family trouble a by no means unusual oc currence and the Marquis was utterly care less and a trifle dissolute. On the morning above referred to, the Marquis found himself unable to return home, or even eet back to the tavern, and was forced to stay all night at the laird's house. In the morning be met the laird's daughter Laird's Bloom of Youth personified. Sad as he neces sarily was after his night's debauch, he pos sessed enough of the resiliency of youth to admire the young lady's beauty. An intimacy between tne two sprang up, and for a long time they two were in nearly constant compa nionship. The Marquis relinquished his dis sipated habits and became a model of virtue. His father was overjoyed at this rehabilita tion, but was at a loss to account for it until at last it became the talk of the neighborhood that the young Marquis was deeply in love with tne laird a daughter. Being extremely pkilosophio, the old gentleman saw nothing wrong in the love of his son for one so far beneath him in station, and also thought that inasmuch as il was a corrective of the follies of youth, it was worthy of all appro bation. And so for a time the young man en ioved love's vounor dream, for he fondlv believed that his passion was reciprocated. The course of true love has a proverbial ten dency to be a rough one. Nothing can be more foolish than for a man to believe that a woman who does not understand him can continue to love him. The laird's daughter was a simple-hearted girl, who, preposterous as it may seem, cared more for love than for exalted station, and at any moment was ready to relinquish all hopes of the latter, provided her expecta tions in regard to the former ware not ful filled. As is too often the case, the man loves the woman for years and the woman returns his passion for a few months. The Marquis was blindly worshipping a goddess of his own creation, and in his case, at least, Thackeray's saying that "men serve women kneeling, when they get on their feet they go away," was not shown to be true, for his love continued, and that of the laird's daughter was turned in another direction. Scarcely a year had passed before the passion whioh once had burned for him went out, an 1 left the poor fellow ia gloom such as Heinrich Heine would have been delighted to sing. Employed by the girl's father was one Donald Macpherson, a man about as fit to be compared with the Marquis as Beadle Bum ble with Mr. Disraeli. He was brawny and ill-favored; a shock of red hair bristled on his head; his hands were grimy and hardened by labor; he could sot spell his own name, much less write it; he could neither sing nor dance, and yet he became the successful lival of the gorgeous Marquis of Lorne. The Mar quis was infuriated at the girl'a coldness, and used to hang about her father's house in the most crestfallen way. The laird favored his suit; but Beither prayers, nor tears, nor threats could move her from her purpose of marrying the boor, who grinned and smirked at the Marquis in so aggravating a manner that even hut high Bense of dignity oould not keep him from committing an assault upon him, for which he would have suffered by due process of law had not a compromise been made by which Donald Maopherudh received a aum of money sufficient to enable him to marry his inamorata and set up ad a tavern keeper, as he did soon afterwards. But in auch a nature as that of the Marquis of Lorne, love onee formed does not reali'y decay. He brooded over his sorrow; and his only consolation V for a long time was the study of natural soienoe and getting drunk with his old companions at the tavern. His father looked upon both of these thing as unmitigated evils, and did all in his power to withdraw the son from his perverse tenden cies; but all in vain, until at last he proposed a teur on the Continent, thinking that change of scene would work Its usual results and his son forget his passion. For two years the Marquis led the wildest of Uvea in the wildest capitals of Europe, endeavor ing to drown bin sorrows in the whirl of dissipation. He went to Heidelberg and Monaoo, and in both plaoes was the rage. His story was partially known, and women fell in love with him, while men, although really despising a marquis who had loved a hind's daughter, flattered him both for the sake of hla position ard the recklessness with which he squandered his money. Finally, having run through a princely fortune, he re turned home, where he remained for a short time, for bitter memories were connected with it. nis old love was established in the tavern, and the eight of her whom he oould not avoid was unbearable to him. His heart was broken, and he returned to the Conti nent, where he remained until the marriage with the Princess Louise had been deter mined on for reasons of state. He was re called, and, broken in spirit, agreed to be come a party to the transaction and settle down in life with a princess as his wife, sinoe it was impossible for him to marry his old love, the keeper of the tavern. The above is the sum and substance of what is known and variously hinted at in Scottish newspapers of the period. There are two young people about to be joined together for life, one of whom yet loves and is loved by one whom she can never wed, and the other a man who, Mate in pleasure and disappointed in life, throws himself away at the bidding of his father and for reasons of State. Truly, "It is better to be lowly born Than to be pe-ked up in a glistening grief And wear a golden sorrow." THE IRISH ROYAL MARRIAGE. Scotland having carried off tha maiden all for-Lorne, it has been supposed that Ireland must be similarly honored by royal patronage. It has been supposed by the average British statesmen for some generations back that the Celtic mind is peculiarly sensitive to royal favors, and that a panacea for all misgovern ment and wrong dealing is to be found in a royal visit, or in rumors of a proposed pur chase of a palace in some of those Irish para dises whose beauty makes Balmoral or Os borne seem howling wildernesses. It has therefore occurred to Mr. Gladstone that the suggestion of an Irish royal marriage will drive the people fairly wild with loyalty and delight. The young gentleman selected for the "national" honor is of respectable rank and tolerably respectable family. As the cable ann'ounced, he is the present Marquis of Ely. "Our right trusty and entirely beloved cousin, the most noble and puissant prince," Sir John Henry Wellington Graham Lof tus, Marquis and Earl of Ely, in the County Wick low, Viscount Loftus, of Ely, and Boron Loftus of Loftus Hall, County Wexford, in the Peerage of Ireland, and Baron Loftus, of Long Loftus, in the County of Cork, in the peerage of the United Kiagdom, a baronet and half a dozen other things, great and small, is now in his twenty-second year, and suc ceeded to his family titles as Fourth Marquis some fourteen years ago. He has not yet distinguished himself very particularly; the last occasion on which the publio became acquainted with the fact that the peerage con tained such a title was during Prince Arthur's visit to Ireland, when his Royal Highness was entertained at Ely Castle, County Fermanagh. Artemus Ward has shown that "bad spell ing" is a convincing proof of family or lite rary antiquity, and on this aooount the gene alogy makers spell the family name of tbe Marquess somewhat peculiarly. According to those distinguished though not very con scientious scholars, the members of the Col lege of Heralds, there must have been a dis tinguished LoKhus in the days of Alfred, and some time later there was one Lofthouse. The .only distinguished men of the family were called Adam Lofthouse, both of whom were Chancellors of Ireland. The last of these was at one time chaplain to Lord Sussex when that peer went to Ireland as Viceroy. Vice-regal patronage soon advanced him to the primatial see of Armagh, whence the same merit translated him to the wealthier and more influential See of Dublin, in lf67. This was the stepping-stone to still higher dignity, and he was made Lord Keeper of the Seal, and afterwards Lord High Chan cellor of Ireland. The good, pious, and im mortal Queen of England having founded Trinity College, this most reverend lord and father was made its first provost. Arch bishop Loftus was a patriarch in green Erin, and was the father of twenty Anglo-Irish descendants, from whom irregularly, and through the female line, the Loftuses, of Loftus Hall, and the ancestors of the pre sent Marquess, were desoended. They num bered distinguished men. There were amongst them a Knight of St. Patrick, a Bishop of Clogher, a barrister, and a civil servant or two. A cadet of the house was an ambassador to some of the Ger man courts. There were also some Loftuses pretty respectable militia officers. The dates of the creation of the titles of the famtly are: Baron, 1785; Viscount, December, 1780; Earl, 1794; Marquess, December 20, 1H00; Baron of the United Kingdom, January 19, 1K01. The dates of these last creations suffi ciently indicate to every Irishman the nature of the services by which they were purchased. If England were to seek in Ireland a mate for her royal daughter who would honor quite as much as he would be honored, it is need less to say that he should have been the young Earl of Offaley, who one day will be the pre mier duke, marquis, and earl of Ireland.
