Seeing a Duke.
New Oleums Times-Democrat.
It is not often that a real live Eng-
lish gilt-edge duke, with tho signa-
ture on the label, arrives in this c ity,
but whon such an event does happen
it invariably creates a wild flutter ol
excitement among society people
and the public generally.
Whon it became known that the
young duke of Newcastle was in the
city every one-wished to seo him,
for the reason that the nearest ap-
proach to a duke or a king, or any
thing skirmishing around the coun-
try in that rank, is a railroad pres-
ident, and ho is a very poor sort of
imitation*
The de ift to see the duke, to talk
to the duke, to breathe tho same at-
mosphoro with a duke, become so
great that the newspapers were
strickcn with tho fever, and tho con-
sequence was a T.D. reporter wus
detailed .to visit him at tho St.
Charles notol.
Tho reporter had never seon a
genuine, Simon pure, English duke,
and he wondered how Newcastle
would look, and while his imagina-
tion was in full play, tho handsome
picturo of tho duke of Durham, that
} ou aeo on tobacco sacks, floated
through his mind.
Tho reporter was delighted with
tho idea of having tho opportunity
to tninglo with, or rather to tarry
for a while with the scion of an old
801 Anno Domini race of noblemen.
When the reporter reached the
hotel the duke's party wore pointed
out to him by the clerk, and ho went
up and bowed down before the
duke's valet and broke off two sus-
pender buttons before ho realized
his mistake.
The next time, however, tho re-
porter fastened on the right man,
and when his eyes lairly rested on
the duke his beautiful vision got
right up and left town. Standing
hoforo him, m an Esthetic pose, was
a very smalled-U-gged young man,
with an umbrella under his arm, and
one lonely eye-glats as large a buzz
saw fastened over his left oye. How
the duko managed to prop up his
oyebrow with such a vast amount ol
glass caused the scribe for a moment
to remain spoechless with yonder,
but finally rec. vering himself ho
said: "Y nr Grace," the ciiy editor
had told him to branch off that way,
'•I lmvo done myself the honor to
call on you and gi t a few points con-
cerning your trip through tho
south."
"Aw ! but you must excuso me
you knaw, I make it quite a'rulo
tu'vah to answer tho questions of a
newspapah man you knaw, and I
cawn't do it. I suppofte you know
all about mj' family history, 1 dare
say."
"No, sir," replied the reporter,
I never heard of them until you
came here."
Tho duko was stupefied with as-
tonishment and tho big eye glass
dropped from his eyes as limp as an
old cabbago leaf and swung across
his waistcoat like a pendulum, as be
lecledand grasped a post for sup-
port. The reporter felt embarrassed
lie did not intend to sitdown all over
the duke in such a cruel way, and
wliilo Nowcastlo was bracing up ho
boat a hasty "etreat.
