He wan a Born Vainbirr with all Ihr Haper â- til Ion or that Cru Itâ€" Food ofUreM auii a â- Telly UooU Fellow. It took a century before the days of tbe modem journalism to produce a authentiu" histories ol that Napoleon IU has taken but twenty-four hours to produce twice that number of "only authentic" histories of that Napolean of finance, Barney Bamato, writes a 1-ondon correspondent. Barnalo was a gambler, pure and simple. It was his uatuire, his tempera- ment, the very breath of his nostrils. Once get that fact fiimiy fixed in your mind, aud you huvb tbe key tu the whole of this remaru.a.ole man's remark- able career. Fromh.3 earliest years he never feared "to put it to the touch and win' or lusei it all." And while the de- tails are still confused, and all facts wanting upon which to form a hypothe- sis, time will prove thut he bad formu- lated in his own mind a wager of fate, and that his own lif6 was the slake. If that is correct, he lost and paid the waget ' with existence as promptly and unhesitatingly as he would have drawn a cheque upon bis baiik (or a wager on a horse raie. BARNEY IN BOH'EMLA. Baruato was already a considerable personage and a coming man when i first met him. He fivquented tbe places in London which were the resort (or the lietter class of Bohemuiua, if there Iw any eiasses in Bohemia. At that time be was a^ j^jfusperous diamond broker in Hutton (jMifi^n. a rich man, but witn no desire or opportunity, bad be the social aspiration, to be anything more thun a man about town. ' Koiuano's, in the Strand, a restaurant and bar kept by an Italian, familiarly known aa "the Roman," was then the cliuseu and accepted resort of the Lou- don Bohemian-s â€" and a motley crew ihey , were. Of Ihijs set Barnato was an acknow-I ledged leader. He was able 1.0 throw | off aJl care when in convival society. I anil bo frequently entertained the com- 1 pany with stories of his adMntuxes travelling as a sleight-of-haua per- former. Until he went to South Africa, a«xordilng to his own storj", ho had never known w'hai iit was to have any considerable sum of money. H'«» origin he. never siioke of. but be ' told with great churui of manner and' !>kill as a raconteur, scores of stones of his experience as a juggler and pre- stiJioogitateutr. He used to go out into tbe Eii,{lish provioi'es and show in the smaller to\vns, and ii, after a few weeks of thaa provin-ial touring or "ba-rastorming, ' he cauia back 10 Lon- don wLtJb i;5U, be never went at it again until thut munificent sum was exhausted. This life was ibe kind that then suited hin , aud the storie:} he told were suggestive always of "Signor Hrunom", in "Cranford," for it wiis to suth audiences that he catered. FOiSDi OF FLNlii LIVING. While at this time he had not yet filled tbe world's eye as the modern -Monte Ci'isto, be was already a marked man in Lomlon. Like Lord Beacons- field, he was a lover of the raiment wiviih is gorgeous antl the lu.\ui'y w-hiib is prodigal. The fauious white silk' half hose, of which much lias been written, were, at thut time, one of his "fads. ' Unused laughingly to re- mark that they always were a com- fort to hiiu, liecause the txjys who wore black silk stockings leiiiimled liiiii so forcibly of the Kaffirs in South .-Africaâ€" you never i^ould tell when they were clean.

'fhe result was tbe same. He remarked one day when some one was commenting on the craze for brewery shares, which was then at its height : "My dear Ixjy, there are fashions in spectilation as much as there are in (wats and Ixmnets, and the man who tries to aell the [wublic apples when they want eggs, or vice versa, is an ass." Prince and Princess of Wales at Home The f'lTBt lease granted to the Ouch- ess of Marllxirough of the site now oc- cupied by the London residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales stipulat- ed that the garden of the ancient "Fri- ary " should not be deset^rated with buildings. "Therefore it is that the passer-by on the Pall ilnll can ijjje the tops of lofty elms, of evergreen oaks and chestuuie in the beoirt of London, and if foi'tunate enough to get beyond the heavy entrance gates may find bis way to a smooth and shady lawn lyine on one side of the plain, red-brick struc- ture known as " Alarlborough House." Until the betginning of the present cen- tury the descendants of John Church- ill, the first Duke of Marlborough, liv- ed in the mansion. But upon the mar- riage of Prince Leopold, afterwards King of Belgium, to the young Prinress Charlotte it became tbe scene of their brief but happy union. Later the Dow- ager Queen Adelaide found a home there. At her death it afforded room for the art collection which developed into the South Kensington Museum,and in the year 1863 it passed to its pre- sent owners. In the current nimiber of The Coe- mopolitan there is a pleasantly writ- ten article descriptive of the outward appearance and the internal economy of the royal mansion. Architecturally it is unpretentious enough. A narrow carriage-way leads up to a spacious quadrangle formed by the main build< ing and its wings, and here is the main entrance to the boulse guarded by a row of fine bay trees set in woo<len boxes. Sentries are constantly on duty at the gates and a number of police officers are also on hand day and night. One of them in plain clothing is detailed to follow the PrincwsB of Wales, alwa.vs at a respectful distance, should she walk . abroad alone, which she usually does in going to York House. On one side of the quadrangle is the block of build- ings devoted to the domestic depart- ment of Marll>or<mgh House. Here is situated the kiti hen, 35 by 25 feet in extent and fitte<l with every modern convenience. There is only one kit- chen, but it is conveniently placed and not like that in Buckingham Palace, a quarter of a mile distant from the royal dining apartment. The sLables are stocked with between 40 and ."iO horsea, none too many for the large household. Under a gla»,s encloaure the royal car- riages are placed to he cleaned, and among them is the " Russian," uphols- tered in dark blue Monxxio, and the lYince's broughuni, a masterpiece of comfort and convenience anil lined in the same color. Opposite the domestic department are the offices where .'^ir Leighton IVobyn, the Comptroller ot the Household, transacts affairs, and Sir Francis Knollys, the Prince's Pri- vate Sjeiretary. There are no «mserv- atoriee on the place, but a species of substitute exists in tbe glass-covernd portico upon which the drawing room opens into the garden. Its floor is tiled in blue and yellow, and it is fur- nished with a view purely txi ixim- fort. Hern guetsts smoke and lounge on tiie 'I url£ey-red i-^mcheji, while a small, white uiarble fount-iin.lii.xuriaiit with ferns and water plants, tinkles night and day. Tbe drawing room of Marlborough House is of spacious proportions. It is enlarged from wluit was formerly a suite of three apartments, -md pillar-s mark the original divisions. Amongst the objects of vijtu to be seen there are two I^ouis XVI. cabinets iiiounto^l in ormolu, inlaid wilh exiiuisiie wiiods and ivory plaques. Its western door leads to the famous Indian room, a favorite with the Princess of Wales, and where dinner iiarties of medium size are given.
