The Quaker and the Earl of Derby.
In the days when Preston was consider-
ed "fashionable," ere the requirements of
trade had swallowed up nearly c.very vest -
age of green parks eand spacious gardens
forrnerly connected .with many town resi-
deneee_ebere were in Stonygate several
neat sUrrounded by shady trees and
luxurious orchards. One of these was oc-
cupied by a rather eccentric Quaker named
John Doweon The hotiese which John oc-
cupied was owned by the Earl ot Derby, of
sporting notriety. In their early days the
school fellows at 'the Preston Grammar
School, which was then in Ston 0 -ate Th
embryo Earl and the Quaker boy heel been

Quaker bad been for some time past veryi
tardy paying his rent, and Baines„ 1
- the Earl's agent, had on sundry ocea.sione f
'threatened him with a deseent of the C.
istines," in the shape of bailiffi. One morn-
ingw
he started on foot to Knosley, and
gaining admission to the pas -k, Waiked up to
the hall door and rang. On the fpotrnan
answering the bell, John put the simple 1
question, "Is Edward in ?" " Edward !"
exclaimed the astonished lackey, "what Ed-
ward do you mean. r " Edwad rSamely.
He lives here &sent he? Is he in? want
tq see him," replied the Quaker. " Go
away, you impertinent fellow !" was the in-
dignant rejoinder, and the footman slammed
the door in the Quaker's face. But John
was not discouraged by thie ungracious re-
ception ; he had come to see the Earl, and f
did see him, The lackey eventually took t
m is name, and John was immediately e
ushered into the presence of the noble Earl,
whom he saluted with, "Well,- Edward,
how ;lit thou -getting on?" "Vray well, e
thank you, John," replied his lordship, ex -
rending his band, and warmly shaking that a

and me went to Preston Grammar School
together," added the blunt Quaker. "ft is,
indeed, John, a Tvery long tune," replied his
lordship. "1 am very glad to see you.

THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
- Fashionable Lady Thieves.
BY-LAW NO.
_" Kleptomania" was a handy word, he -
vented at a time when femenine pilfe
had gtown •to such an extentthat the
raudin.gs of fashionable _ladies could
longer be 'over -looked. It was: at on
cloak for the misdeeds of the wealthy,
a puzzld to the poor. If a starving won
stole a loaf of bread, or snatched a bit
meat from a butcher's shop, to fill the h
gry mouths at home, she was a thief, pu
simple, and was delivered over to the strong
kalii of the law without mercy. If a fash-
ionable lady, out shopping, took a fancy to
a pair of gloves or a piece of coetly lace,
and, having •fancied, appropriated it she
was Rot a thief --the unhappy •lady was
simply suffering from kleptomania, and
was a srbject for the doctors, not the law-
yers. That there is one law for the rich
and another for the poor has been the uni-
versal cry since laws were made ; but a
spnle is a spade, and any one who steals is
a thief, no matter how high their standing.
We are supposed to grow wiser as the woild
goee round, and we have got farther than
kleptomania, now ; a. "lady" goes about ut-
tering forged cheques to various trademen,
!getting goods and money from there, giving
,all sorts of feigned names and false addres-
ses) and her lawyers request bail for her, On
the ground of insanity! That she is an of-
ficer's wife, and therefore of standing and
position, with friends to whom disgrace
would be a terrible thing, makes the case
very pitiable ; but who wouldaisk for b
for the wife of a mechanic who forg
cheques for as many shillings as she h
pounds? If she is insane, then we ne
suspect every one we meet of being ment
ly afflicted. She knew perfectly well how
clideee the dresses anti jackets out of whi
she swindled the unsuspecting shopkeeper
ibe ,.new perfectly well how to forge the
&dimwits, and, having done so, to pass
them. -"Though this be madness, yet
there's method in it," as old PoloniUs said ;
and we are glad to see -that the sitting ma-
gistrate looked at the case without the wise
discrimination toe common of late in our
Police Courts, amid would not listen to the
proposal of bail. Fancy a woman having
three times presented £25 forged cheques,
and attempted others, going at large on bail,
simply becaese sha happens to belong to the
.
upper classes ! A few decided and prompt
nstances of Severe dealing on the part of
some SMISiele Magistrates would prove effi•
eacioue in lessening the number of "klepto-
nanica" We fancy the same straightfor-
yard dealing would have an excellent effect
n relieving the -painful form of insanity
