SALISBURY & CO., Proprietors-
Fifty members of a colored Baptist
church at Lexington, Kyi, have been
excommunicated because they would
go to the circus.
Awful Gardner, the converted
prize-fighter and barkeeper, has re
turned to his wallowing, and sells
liquor in New Jersey.
H. V. Redfield, the Cincinnati
CommitofeGit correspondent, has been
elected'Alderman in his native vil
lage of Chattanooga.
When they speak of a regiment of
infantry in Mexico they mean a body
of men numbering from seven to fifty
officers and from one to six private
soldieiK
Senator Blaine is able to sit up,
his appetite has returned, and heisln
such excellent spirits that his friends
say he will be able to resume his ac
tive duties in a short time.
Ju£ia ^Cavanagh, the authoress,
has just died at Nice, at thej age of
fifty-three. In early life her parents
took her to Paris, where she acquired
that insight into French home life
that is observable in her novels.
Commissioner Dodge, of the Agri
cultural Bureau at Washington,
writes on the 17th, that cotton ac
counts since the 1st are less favorable,
and would justify lower rather than
the increased estimates given in his
report on the 1st.
Carl Scmmz’s old paper, the St.
Louis WestHche Pott, expresses its
mind on the end of the postoffice fight
in that city thus freely: “Postmaster
Fillers reappointment is one of those
errors which are worse than a crime.
President Hayes has, with this, stam
ped his civil service reform clear be
yond the frontiers of Missouri to be a
laughable farce and a silly humbug.’'
A newspaper controversy led to the
'shooting of Charles Matthews, city
editor of the Hot Springs Telegraph,
by Mayor Linde, last Wednesday.
Matthews was unarmed, and received
four wounds, one shot breaking his
arm and another his shoulder. Al
derman Davis and another man were
accidentally wounded by balls from
the pistol of the murderous Mayor.
Linde gave bond in $2,000 for his ap
pearance. *
Memphis Avalanche : Eight miles
south of Ashland, North Mississippi,
a few days ago, Homer N. Hunt was
challenged by C. Mason Lane for
saying of a young lady friend of the
latteif: “How I loathe any girl who
is equal,” He accepted, and as both
were excellent shots, the distance
was extended from fifteen to thirty-
five yards. Hunt was killed and
Lane mortally wounded at the first
fire.
The Cincinnati Enquirer proposes
to wager $500 or $1,000 that there is a
man on the 'E* yuirer who can set
more type in a given time than any
other compositor in the country, and
tiie same amount that there are two
compositors on that paper who can
sot more type than any other two;
three than any other three; fouf, five*
six, and so on up to ten. Here’s a
a chance for the type-stickers to test
their mettle.
The Young Men’s Christian Asso-
I ciation is an institution that is far-
reaching as well as beneficial in its
influence, and we hear of a branch at
W ^Qjmedln, New Zealand, that num
bers 566 members,' It is of great as
sistance to immigrants, giving them
valuable acquaintances and oppor-
( tunities, and putting them on the
right track in many respects. In all
the South Sea British colonies there
are similar associations.
The people of northern Pennsyl
vania are greatly excited in conse
quence of the depredations of the
hordes of tramps now infesting that
locality. • Vigilance committees have
been formed by the citizens, for self-
protection, and several encounters
have already occurred, in which the
vagrants were worsted. .The tramp
brigade is constantly increasing in
this locality, and eveiy day grown
whitejrnen,able bodied, go from house
to house begging. Many of them
may be sufferers, but quite a number
are on the lookout for plunder.
A Republican Senatorial candi
date in New York, Judge Robertson,
of the Westchester district, has lost
his seat because the canvassers re
fused to go behind the returns. The
radopted the rulings of the Ele
ctoral Commission, and what makes
it especially galling is that Robertson
went to Florida last fall on the re
quest of Grant as a “distinguished
visitor,” to see that the Returning
Board there counted Tilden out and
Hayes in. As the New* York Senate
is Republican, Robertson will of
course get his seat on a contest, but
he don’t relish his own medicine.
A writer in the New York Sun,
sketching August Belmont, says:
“Through the medium of Lionel and
Nathaniel Rothschild, of London,and
of James Rothschild, of Paris, Mr. Bel
mont was in a position to learn in
stantly of the least change in the at
titude of the English and French
Governments toward the South, and
it was to his frequent reports that Mr.
Seward owed a very large proportion
of his best information on this sub
ject’ So the ex-Chairman of the
Democratic National Executive Com
mittee was really the Mephistopheles
of the Northern Faust. The South
owes a debt of “gratitude” to August
Belmont
At the swell wedding in New
Y ork W ednesday night, when Miss
Florence Adele Vanderbilt was mar-
ried'to Mr. H. McK. Twombly, of
Boston,- the bride’s dress was of bro-
ended white satin, the design being
specially woven in Lyons from draw
ings nude by Mrs. Connelly, who
furnished [Nellie Grant’s trousseau.
It consists of a grouping of primroses,
buds and leaves, and cannot be dupli
cated. Miss Vanderbilt wore long,
white kid gauntlets, and low white
satin shoes, displaying white silk
stockings, with rich medallions of
Vidgnciennes lace introduced over
the instep. These latter cost $120 the
pair-. Her only jewelry was a pair of
superb solitaire diamond ear-rings.
The bridal presents were not dis
played, but were of unusual value and
beauiy r as^tifsht be expected—among
them being, it was reported, checks
andBeeurifSesfromthetether of the
bride representing an aggregate of
$1,000,000.
Do not become scared. The word
means nothing terrible. It comes
from two Greek words—podos, foot,
and logos, discourse—and means a
talk about feet; and what subject has
produced more poetic fancies from
Milton, through the lesser stars that
have charmed mankind? They are
articles which humanity finds the
utmost conveniences, though experi
ence has demonstrated they need not
be necessities. The small and the
large alike find their uses to excite
admiration or span a ditch.
John Randolph, of Roanoke, was
cnee asked what he thought of a cer
tain member of the House. “Sir,”
replied^the cynic, “I think he wears
the smallest boot of any man in Con-
8.” What more equivocal could
have been spoken, or indication of
contempt given ? It may have signi
fied the dancing master made him.
We find some giving their whole
mind to their substmm, and culti
vating hour after hour the excruciar
ting agony of corns and bunions for
the purpose of crowding their extrem
ities into so much leather.
Let it be at once remarked that
small hands and feet are not tokens
of gentle blood. They may be, but it
is. not the £ule. The most notorious
gambler, pick-pocket and thief may
sometimes have these characteristics;
but the English nobility,the proudest
of earth because possessing the most
of ancestry and wealth to be proud of,
as a rule have both large hands and
feet. An Arab shiek pretended to
discover the nobility of his poet-guest,
Lord Byron, because of his shapely-
delicate hands, but if he had examin
ed the commonest of his tribe his
boasted prescience would have at once
proved a falsehood.
The modern idea is to crowd the
foot info as small compass of leather
as possible. If in society should the
dainty limb be sprained so as to force
the. surgeon to cut open the kid’s
hide, he would find nothing of grace
and beauty in the knots and abrasions
the envious covering hid. The an
cients understood matters better.
They sought the proportions of beau
ty, not the contractions of art, the
curves of ease and grace, not the mal
formations of tight banded toes.
Napoleon once in his top boots
was ridiculed by a young lady. These
boots subsequently left their foot
prints on the sands of time, and their
wearer became immortal. The young
lady who ridiculed and subsequently
received a copy of “Puss in Boots”
from the after hero of Lodi, Arcolh,
Marengo and Austerlitz, is remem
bered only as one whose brain Napo
leon thought fit to appreciate “Puss
in Boots” in literature and nothing
higher.
The calf can be terribly developed
in thin soled shoes. Men now take
something better than paper. They
consult utility more than the old
styles of taste, and after all charming
utility is the basis of grace and at
tractiveness. More attention to the
foot and hand than the brain forms
an attribute of the fop of the age.
There is something in marks. Pal
mistry is an occult sense with a modi
cum of reason. The writer, if he be
careless, wears his character in the
black and blue stains of the hand.
The pawn-broker shows a fat palm
broader than it is long; the artistic
hand is slight with long fingers; the
sportsman and outdoor laborers have
hard palms. Thjey can be told at a
glancef but the feet are failures as
tests. No geologist can come in alter
years, and discover in the rock hard
ened track the impress of some
evanished creature and from that ac
cidental and scant hint describe the
race whence it sprung. That is not
an unerring test for the noblest de
scended race—the English—is noted
for its large pedal extremities.
When beautiful woman winds in
any grace along the pave, male hu
manity glances upon the ground at
the tiny feet—and a little foot, propor
tioned rightly, mind ye—is an essen
tial of a lovely woman, a thing of
beauty that is a joy forever. The cause
of the male procedure is the maxim—
all’s well that ends well. If the ex
tremity be pretty, all else is safe.
Why, the poets rave about it. Sir
John Suckling made this pretty
song:
“Her feet beneath her petticoat,
Like little mice stole in and out.
As if they feared the light,
But O, she dances such a way
No' sun upon a Easter-day
Is half so fine a sight,"
Even Herrick, centuries ago, talks
.about “herpretty feet, like snails, did
creepa little on, and then, as if they
played at bopeep, did draw in
again.”

A step more light, a foot more true
Ne’er from the heath flower dashed the'de w—
E’en the slight harebell raised its head
Elastic from her airy tread.”
And Tennyson, still “prettyfying”
the idea, says in his Talking Oak :
“Bat light as any wind that blows
So fleetly did she stir.
The flower, she touched on, dipt and rose,
Andtnrned to look at her.”
When Venus appeared to the he
roes, shipwrecked on the Punic coast,
the poet declares “she walked a god

and a burning instep.
What is the total? It is that those
who bind themselves in misery do
not exhibit the traces of pure blood,
but the reverse. To be graceful means
to be natural, and that can never be
effected with tight shoes. None ever
under such conditions proposed or
were accepted. The world does not
judge men nor women by their shoes
except to see they are decently shod.
Slippers are the rewards of labors
done — the wisest work of loving
hands, provided they are large
enough. Walk the streets tightly
clad as possible, but lift the narrow
boundries when home is enjoyed, and
make the feet happy—.^o soft and
easy. Then it is the lover seeks liis
heaven, the husband his surcease of
sorrow, the wife her elysian of love.
It is all in slippers after tight shoes.
Podology offers the ecstatic delight to
spectators and misery to the looked
at; and then afterwards slippers and
happiness, and oh! such thrills of de
light, such as makes one believe
there’s not a joy this world can give
like the pain it takes away.
The example of Troup and other
counties in publicly expressing their
choice in the coming Senatorial elec
tion, by way of resolutious, &e.,
adopted at public meetings, should be
followed by other counties through
out the State. The Senatorial field,
though quiet, is full of aspirants who
will make themselves known as their
strength increases. We call upon the
friends of our noble Gordon every
where to take this matter in hand.
Where primary elections and nomi
nating conventions have already
been held, take advantage of the first
large assembling of citizens to call
a meeting and express the county’s
preference. It will have its influence
on county representatives, and give

can Senate. A Gordon Man.

State, is totally unfounded in point
of fact. There are 2,210 miles of rail

The chancellor granted the injunc

the act of 1874, granting the defend
ant’s charter, in so far as it author
ized the taking of private property

ple should not be joined together,

forever after hold their peace.”
AVhereupon the defendant arose and
objected to the marriage proceeding
further upon the ground that the
groom was a “gay and fond deceived,”
and had plighted his faith and prom
ised to marry her. This produced
great commotion and wild excite
ment in the church, particularly
amongst the female portion w r ho
clamored to have the marriage go on,
some of whom rudely seized her. The

“Bishop Gilmour, I believe?”
“Yes, sir; a seat, sir.”
“I have called to ask if you can

the Roman Catholic Church in the
event of the Pope’s death.”
“That, sir, is not an easy matter to

expressed winch go for what they are

“But, sir, it would be expected that
from your connection with the
Church you would be so well in

would be. Of interest to the general

“I think the generality of the Ro

we believe that the Papacy is eternal,

Do you think the Italian Govern

I do. In my belief, no sooner will

General Toombs on the Homestead.
In his late speech at Cartersville,
in w'hich he spoke eloquently in sup
port of the new Constitution, devot
ing but little time and saying noth
ing new on the capital question, Gen
eral Toombs said:
I considered the homestead of 1868
a fraud and a sham. It was notmade
to protect women and children. It
was an effort to array together the
same men that Cataline took—the
gamblers, thieves and outcasts—when
he wanted to overturn the liberties of
Rome. Bullock gave three thousand
dollars in gold—nearly five or six
thousand dollars with the premium
on gold added at that time, and twice
as much as the average of the people
of Georgia had, or ever will have.
They thought to make a patty of the
dangerous classes. They wanted them
to stand by them and perpetuate them
in power. They failed.
Congress put much of their infa
mous scheme under foot, although it
left the homestead. Now the matter
is open to you again. So far as I am
concerned I give you my own views.
Uhave been in favor of a homestead
aiid a liberal one. I do not look to
the interests of either the creditor or
the debtor. I look to the good of the
public. I think it better to withdraw
the homes of the women and chil
dren in this country from the reach
of traffic than to have all the prosper
ity that could come from the gold of
Ophir. [Applause.” AVhat is to be
come of them if the wickedness, folly
and vices of the husband can strip
them of home and shelter? There is
the public road! They are wander-
era and outcasts! Every sun brings
them no change for the better—only
new miseries. They are on the road to
the poor house—from there to the chain
gang or the haunt of vice! I would
give them a home where they can
live virtuously and happily, and not
have to steal their bread. I would
raise the daughters where they would
be ornaments to society, and the sons
useful to the world—and I would do
it if I had to break down the last
vestige of credit. [Applause.] But it
is not necessary to resort to that.
This new homestead is protected; it
is under the law of dower; it is not a
cheat in valuation; it is given to the
woman for life and to her children,
and when she dies and is gathered to
her God, she leaves it to her children.
It is not large—not a principality—
but a place where they can make an
honest living, dwell in virtue
and happiness and raise sons and
daughters unto the commonwealth,
that future generations will rise up
and call them blessed. So I say,
again, I am for a homestead for the
poor, for the defenseless, for the wid-
dows and orphans of the glorious old
mother State. [Long continued ap
plause.]

man in the College of Cardinals who
is not in all ways faithful to the
Church; not one but what considers
he owes allegiance to the Church
rather than to his country. There is
greater strength and unity in the
Church now than there ever was.
There has never been a council held,
until the last one, that was not fol
lowed by some trouble in the Church
caused by the definitions of that
Council. But following this last
Council (the Ecumenical Council)
there has not been a single defection.
The utmost harmony has prevailed
since then.”
“But was not there some trouble
in the Church concerning the action
of the Council on the subject' of the
Pope’s infallibility?”
“Not at all, sir. There was some
slight irritation regarding the matter,
but nothing that affected the Church.
The infallibility of the Pope is an ar
ticle of faith in the Church. The
Council does not manufacture articles
of faith; that is impossible. It simply
defines them. An article of faith may
be an open question with members of
the Church until the Council takes it
under considetation and shows that it
is a part of the Church’s articles of
faith, and when that is done all ad
herents of the Church are bound to
accept it. A good many of the Bish
ops did not believe that the Pope was
infallible, and were opposed at this
late, late day to defining his infalli
bility as an ‘ article of faith in the
Church. But these were only details,
and you can not make these details a
foundation for the Church to build its
faith upon. It is just the same as in
Congress, where men may argue over
a measure, but all finally vote for it,
believing that it is the measure which
the party, as a party, will indorse.
But although these men may have
been opposed to bringing the subject
of infallibility up at this late day, it is
nevertheless a fact that the Church
has taught infallibility from the first.
As early as the fourth century it was
enunciated: XJbi Petrus, ibi Eeclesia
—‘where the Pope is, there the
Church is.’ AVhat the Church held
in the beginning she holds to-day.”
“Have you any idea who will be
the Pope’s successor?”
“That would be impossible to an
swer. I do not think any one can
state that fact with any certainty.
It is much like a convention where
it is almost impossible to tell who
will receive the nomination.”
“Have not the Cardinals planned
this matter before this?”
“I think this. The Cardinals have
laid their plans for the future to this
extent. They will, immediately
upon the death of the Holy Father,
meet in conclave and select a success
or. Heretofore it has been customary
to allow a few days (probably twenty)
to elapse, before electing a Pope, but
I think in this case, to elude the
machinations of the Italian Govern
ment, they will use all possible
haste.”
“AVill the masses in the Church
revere a new Pope as they have Pius
IX?”
“They will revere him as much,
but they will hardly show the same
affection that they hold toward the
present Pope. Pius has, by personal
magnetism and worth, and by the
constant struggle to which he has
been subjected, won the hearts and
love of the masses, which a new man
will not get at first. Otherwise the
respect for the new Pope will be the
same.”
“Are not the freethinking doctrines
and skeptical ideas which are prevail
ing to such an extent at present affect
ing the Church ?”|
“No, sir. The Church is bound in
stronger and closer bonds than ever,
and none of these loose ideas have
crept in. All statesmen acknowledge
that the Church has gained in inter
nal strength which she has lost in po
litical power.”
“Do"you think the Papacy w'ill ever
regain the temporal possession which
it has lost?”
“Yes, I think the powers of Eu
rope will in time consider it best
to make the Pope an independ
ent potentate, and his Italian posses
sions w'ill be returned. The reason
for this is very plain. It is primarily
essential that the Pope, as the head of
the Church, should be independent,
bound by nothing, and this he cannot
be so long as hisjtemporal possessions
are held by others.”
Speaking of the general acceptance
of the term infallibilty, Bishop Gil
mour said:
“Protestants evidently do not un
derstand the term. They confound
infallibility with impeccability ; that
if a person is infallible he certainly
can not sin. This is wrong. This
word infallibility refers only to spir
itual affairs. It means that the Pope
can not utter an article of faith or
morals that was not spoken by Christ ;
that he can not make a mistake in
the articles of faith enunciated. A
man may utter the troth and still be a
sinner. Thus Balaam prophesies
from God, although at heart he was
an idolater. When the high priest
said, ‘It is better for the world that
this man die,’ bespoke as an inspired
priest of God, although his heart was
filled with a hatred of Christ. Thus
it is with the Pope, who may still sin
and still be infallible.”
“Do you think the death of the
Pope will make any difference in af
fairs in Europe ?”
“Not at alL”

TWO IMPORTANT TELEGRAMS.
Evidence that Hay be Brought For
ward In the Louisiana Contest.
[ Washington Special to the Chicago Times,
Nov. 21.]
Two very important telegrams are
in the hands of Spofford’s friends,
and, if Kellogg is seated, the tele
grams will be used. The first tele
gram is from the Attorney General
to the Chairman of the Louisiana
Commission, directing him to recog
nize the very Legislature that elected
Spofford. The second telegram is
from the same, stating that the Presi
dent and Cabinet approve of the Leg
islature as it was reorganized. In
discussing the facts in these tele
grams, very plain talk has been heard
in Conkling circles. It is claimed
that Mr. Conkling is bitter enough in
his fight against the President to
move his impeachment, if he thought
lie could make anything by it, and
these two telegrams, his friends say,
would help him very much in mak
ing out a case against the President,
who has subverted the offices of a
Governor and Legislature, whose
titles were as good as his own. Of
course this is the cream of the angry
talk, and shows merely to what ex
tent some of the anti-Administration
men will go, even in thought. These
telegrams could not be produced at
present without a breach of confi
dence, but as the President asked for
six thousand dollars for the expenses
of his Louisiana Commission, it is
proper to investigate the matter to
see whether the money can be legally
appropriated. Such an investigation
would be able to produce these tele
grams. Indeed, if an investigation
is made it will be for the special ob
ject of finding what share the Presi
dent actually took in the Louisiana
settlement.

REPUBLICAN PAPERS AND THE NEW

Paris, November 24.—The Repub

of the new ministry in contemptuous
terms.
The Union (Legitimist) says the
Cabinet derives its significance from
the appointment of M. AVelelie,whose
politics are of the Fourton stamp in
tensified.
The Moniteur says the ministry
will avoid all political discussion and
devote itself solely to the public busi
ness. It ivill ask the Senate and
Chamber to adopt a similar course
and thus establish a truce of the dis
cussions which are disturbing trade,
It w'ill explain to the Deputies the
imperative necessity of immediately
considering the budget, so as to reas
sure the country'. The ministry will
appear in the Chamber to-day.
The Times' Paris correspondent
says nobody doubts the debate in the
Cabinet’s programme to-morrow will
result in a vote of want of confidence,
and it is probable the Cabinet will re
sign.

LEE AND SCOTT.
Hr. Lincoln’s Oiler of the Command
or tbe United States Army
to Gen. Lee,
Philadelphia Times.]
As confirmatory of the incident giv
en by Hon. Allan B. Magruder in the
Weekly Times of to-day, allow me to
say that the letter which he gives
from Gen. Lee to Hon. Reverdy
Johnson was found by me not long
after Gen. Lee’s death in his private
letter-book, copied in his own well
known hand writing. By the kind
ness of the family I was allow'ed to
copy the letter and publish it, in 1874,
in my “Personal Reminiscences, An
ecdotes and Letters of Gen. R. E.
Lee” (pp. 141-142), where I also gave
the testimony of Mr. Montgomery
Blair and other proofs that the su
preme command of the United States
Army was offered Col. Lee before he
left AVashington.
I once heard Mrs. Lee speak freely
of this event in the life of her hus
band, and a gentleman of high-stand
ing in New York has told me that in
an interview which he had with Gen
Scott, in April, 1861, he spoke in the
very highest terms of Lee’s ability as
a soldier and character as a man; told
him the supreme command of the
United States Army was offered him
and said that he (Scott) would have
cheerfully given place to “the ablest
soldier in America” if he could have
induced him to accept.
The proofs are conclusive that when
Robert E. Lee cast his lot with his
mother State, he turned his back on
the highest position that an Ameri
can soldier could covet, and deliber
ately chose the path of sacrifice, peril
and loss of this world’s goods, because
in liis judgment it was the path of
duty and of honor.
In June, 1868. he said to his trusted
lieutenant, the gallant and accom
plished Gen. Wade Hampton: “I
did only what my duty demanded;
I could have taken no other course
W'ithout dishonor. And if all were
to be done over again, I should act
in precisely the same manner.”
Men will differ as to the course
which Gen. Lee thought proper to
pursue in siding with A T irginia and
the South in the great struggle, but
no fairminded man can examine the
proofs and doubt for a moment that
he acted from the purest motives—
from the highest sense of duty and
honor. J. AVm. Jones.

The Sliding of the Wheels or
Locomotives.— All railway engin
eers are acquainted with this phe
nomenon, which has hitherto been
considered as only produced when
what is called the\adherence falls be
low the limit calculated for the weight
which tbe engine IhasTto draw. M.
Rebeuf has lately had occasion to ob
serve certain facts which lead him to
the conclusion that sliding is an oc
curence much .more general and more
complex than has been hitherto sup
posed. Not long since he was charged
with the trial, on the Northern Rail
way, of a new engine of great speed.
The locomotive had coupled wheels,
2m 10c in diameter, and the inherent
weight of the machine was about
twenty-seven tons. In the experi
ments,the engine, without any weight
to draw, descended a very slight
gradient at the speed of 120 kilometres
(five-eighths of a mile each) an hour.
That rate would correspond, mechan
ically, to 303 revolutions of the wheels
per minute, but they in reality made
360. Consequently, they slipped on
the rails, ana if they had not done so
the engine would nave obtained a
speed of 143 kilometres per hour.
Much astonished at the fact, he re
peated his observations on a certain
number of locomotives of different
types, comparing their actual speed
with the rapidity of the rotation of
wheels, and he always found that the
sliding was almost null when ascend
ing a gradient, but that in the de
scending the loss from slipping was,
on an average, twenty per cent. The
inference he draws is that, if the cause
of this singular circumstance can be
London correspondence of the San Francisco
Chronicle.
So the Duke of Norfolk—that so de
voted son of the Roman Catholic faith
that it was so long predicted by some
he would end as a priest and _ make
over everything he possessed in the
world that he could make over to
Holy Mother Church—has at last en
gaged himself to take for better or
worse the Lady Flora Hastings. The
fair damsel is grandniece as well as
namesake of that most infelicitous
and hardly-used Lady Flora Hast
ings about whom, in the early days
of the Queen’s married life, there was
so very much talk. The Lady Flora
of that time was beautiful, the Lady
Flora was fascinating,perhaps also the
Lady Flora was not above indulgence
in the delightful excitement of flirt
ing just a tiny little bit with some
body else’s husband, above all when
that somebody else’s husband was
handsome and of royal blood,
although, indeed, the royal blood
was only that of a moneyless Teu
tonic princeling and Grand-ducal
second son, who, according to a popu
lar song of the period, came over from
his native land with nothing more
valuable than his father’s blessing
and a German sausage and sixpenny
piece in his pocket to “marry the
Queen of England.” At any rate so
runs the story of many years ago.
“Albert the good,” forall that he was
something of a prig, apparently could
not resist the temptation which
prompts us less perfect mortals,
“when far away from the lips that
we love,” to solace ourselves with
making “love to the lips that are
near.” Lady Flora’s eyes were pret
ty; prettier, maybe, than those of the
less-fair royal Guelph, and, if Lady
Flora’s cherry mouth said nay to the
good-looking Prince, it was, perad-
venture, the nay that is liker unto
yea. And, thus, one day, it befell
that the princely and aristocratic lips
came closer together than, consider
ing all circumstances, was quite,quite
proper. AVhile Lady Flora and Al
bert the exemplary were “whisper
ing tbe soft nothings,” and quite
wrapped up in their spooning, her
Majesty! herself pounced on them.
Tableau! Confusion of the good
young man, terror of the single lady,
wrath of the royal wife! Lady Flora,
so says rumor, came in for boxed ears,
and never, never, never was she suf
fered to set foot again within the pre
cincts of the court. Doubtless the
Prince was treated to an improving
course of curtain lectures, but on this
point we can only hazard surmise, as
into the myseries of the royal bed
chamber it is not given to outsiders
to penetrate. It is quite possible, see
ing that the Queen had an explosive
temper, that his royal hair became
thinner on his royafhead awhile after
that day. Anyhow he grew a sadder
and a wiser man, bade a long fare
well to flirtations with Maids of Hon
or any other of the fair sex, betook
himself to study, invented a military
that so supremely hideous that Punch
and everybody else made everlasting
fun of it, composed songs in honor
of “Victoria’s Smile” and other
subjects, pious or sentimental, became
(early) prodigiously stout, balled and
unromantic-looking, took to patron
izing the arts and manufactures,
Germanized the nation as much as he
could and as it would stand the pro
cess, and eventually turned out quite
a fine character. But poor Lady Flora
took her expulsion from the royal
palace very deeply to heart, and
many people, thinking she had been
harshly treated, sympathized with
her. AVhen she died, which was not
until she had written a voimie of
poems and founded an educational
establishment in Scotland, matter-of-
fact folks pronounced the cause of
death to have.been disease of the liver,
while sentimental ones declared it to
have been the effect of a broken heart.
Apropos of the fl irtations with roy
al princes, it is said that the stories so
often whispered against the Prince of
AVales’ morals are quite half of them
fabricated by the many fair ones who
would only too gladly fall in love with
his Royal Highness, if only his Roy
al Highness would fall in love with
them. Poor fellow! how terribly bored
he must be—if he has any sense—with
a bevy of houris all making eyes at
him and desperately languishing—of
course for the Prince and not for the
man. AVhy cannot they leave him
in peace, now that his figure is grow
ing aldermanic? His hair is thinning
fast at the top—has the“Rose of Den
mark,’ assisted nature, in that re
spect, I wonder?—and his years are
verging toward that period‘in man’s
existence when illusions are outlived,
and when one sees the paint and
tinsel that adorn each goddess, and
has come to think a good dinner and
plenty of it far preferable to any
number of sonnets to a mistress’ eye
brow, no matter how splendidly pen
cilled and perfectly got up—provided
inspection be not too close—that eye
brow may be. The latest thing in
nice little scandalous stories about the
court is that some fair lady, blessed in
the usual fashion of my sex, with a
tongue more remarkable for length
and activity than discretion, took it
into her silly head to boast that the
Prince of AVales was in love with her,
the truth being that he had spoken
a few civil words to her about half a
dozen times. The story reaching his
ears, he wrote to her a very angry
letter, demaning to known what she
meant. This was a snub, but one
well deserved. It might perhaps
have been a more dignified proceed
ing on his part to have taken no
notice of her idiotic talk, but princes
cannot surely be expected always to
command their tempers any more
than other folks.
One of the prttiest photographs,
carte de visite size,of the royal family,
which lias lately come out, represents
the Queen sitting on a chair and look
ing uncommonly stout and well, with
Prince Beatrice kneeling in affec
tionate attitude before her and the
Duke of Connaught, Victoria’s third
and best looking son, standing up be
side them. It is rather suggestive,
and would be quite so if but the
Prince were also on his knees, of the
concluding scene in old-fashioned
melodramas, where the hero and he
roine, after having made a runaway
match, come and cast themselves at
the feet of the “heavy father”—in
this case mother—to implore pardon
and to weep, while he, in lachrymose
accents, exclaims, “Bless you, my
children, be happy. Here are <£50,000
for you!” In the photograph the
Prince looks gentlemanly and band-
some, and I am bound to confess that
our 20-year-old youngest Princess,
save and except that unlike her
brother, she cannot boast a mous-
tasche, looks handsome and gentle
manly likewise; for she has on the
severely simple” style of costume
which, happily, seems at last to be
coming into vogue, the gentlemanly
felt hat with scarcely any trimming
on it, and no flower or feather visible,
the plain waistbands and collars/iuite
innocent of lace or frill, and the dress
of soft, dark material almost nunlike
in the absence of flounce or furbelow.
