Extract from the New York “Herald” of May 29th, 1879:

Among the passengers on the outgoing Cunard steamer Gallia, which left New York on Wednesday, was the Honorable William Beauvoir, only son of Sir Oliver Beauvoir, Bart., of England.  Mr. Beauvoir has been passing his honeymoon in this city, and, with his charming bride, a famous California belle, has been the recipient of many cordial courtesies from members of our best society.  Mr. William Beauvoir is a young man of great promise and brilliant attainments, and is a highly desirable addition to the large and constantly increasing number of aristocratic Britons who seek for wives among the lovely daughters of Columbia.  We understand that the bridal pair will take up their residence with the groom’s father, at his stately country-seat, Chelsworth Manor, Suffolk.

GRUYERE’S.

In the spring of the year 1870 the premium on gold had fallen so low that it began to be thought by sanguine people that specie payments would be resumed at once.  Silver in considerable quantities actually came into circulation.  Restaurants, cigar-stands, and establishments dealing in the lighter articles of merchandise paid it out in change, by way of an extra inducement to customers.

On one of these days Henry Barwood, a treasury clerk, and Megilp, the rather well-known picture restorer, met by accident at the door of Gruyere’s restaurant.  Gruyere’s place, although in the business quarter, is not supported to any great extent by the hurrying throng of bankers’, brokers’, merchants’, and lawyers’ clerks who overrun the vicinity every day at lunch-time.  It is a rather leisurely resort, frequented by well-to-do importers, musicians, and artists, people who have travelled, and whose affairs admit of considerable deliberation and repose.  Barwood in former times had been in the habit of going there occasionally to air his amateur French, burn a spoonful of brandy in his coffee, and enjoy an economical foretaste of Paris.  Returned to New York after a considerable absence, to spend his vacation at home, he was inclined to renew this with other old associations.
