DEATHS
On Sunday night, the 30th ult., at the English Embassy, Paris, Charles Kinnaird Sheridan, Esq., youngest son of the late Thomas Sheridan, Esq., aged 30.
Late Lord Hertford's maxim:
"What would you do if you saw a man cheating at cards? "
"Bet upon him, to be sure." ... During the burst of scandalous comment which followed the exposure, one of the "bitter fools" of society, who had never been admitted to his intimacy, drawled out at Crockford's:
"I would leave my card at his house, but I fear he would mark it." The retort was ready:
"That would depend on whether he considered it high honor.'" This repartee, popularly assigned to Lord Alvanley — on ne prete qii'aiix riches — was made by Charles Kinnaird Sheridan (the brother of the three gifted sisters of the race), whose untimely and deeply regretted death, in the bloom of his brilliant youth, was a memeiito inori which not the gayest or most thoughtless of his gay contemporaries could speedily shake off.
