PRENTICE-ANA. The Doylestown Democrat,
speaking OF a LOcOfuco office-ho in Pennsyl-
yania, says that if he is defaulter the amount is
very trihing. The excuse is certainly as good as
that of the servant girl, who being reproved by
her mistress for having baby without having had
Il husband, deprecatingly exclaimed" La, mis-
tress, but it is such little one "
A Wing editor in Ohio, thinks that the man of
the Enquirer is more knave than fool Very likely,
and yet he's the greatest fool in Christendom.
The editor of the Hartford Times, the principal
LOcotOco organ in Connecticut, tells the Free Soil
ers that his party is bound to be ultimately united
with them, and that, If they will only offer fair
terms, its whole effects shall be made over to them
at once. This is much in the spirit of the old
miser, who, on his death bed said to his heir "Jim
shall not live very long, and, when ! die shall
leave you my whole fortune. You will then have
fifty thousand dollars-Only think of it All, / am
getting worse do not think shall live two hours
am going jim, just giUe me tOo per cent. and you
shall haze ihe money HOU.''

Vice Consul at that place, ordering him to obtain
every information possible of the existence oil any
organization of men or magazine of arms, destined
for the threatened invasion of Cuba, as mentioned
in the Presidents proclamation. The Vice Consul
in his reply stated that there did, last winter exist
a large force of men and arms in that city, compo-
sed almost entirely of Irishmen, and regularly
drilled by experienced officers, who were destined
for an attack on Canada, so to create diversion
in favor of Ireland, in case the Irish rebellion
should come to a head but that since the failure
of the rebellion the troops had been disbanded and
the object discontinued. Since then no military
organization whatever has existed here for foreign
purposes

SHALL New ORLEANS HAVE REGATTA -
We see that there is to be Regatta at Biloxi next
Thursday, and that three prizes are on that occa-
sion to be run for The Biloxi Regatta Club nave,
however, thought fit to exclude from the race ali
boats which have taken more than two first prizes
during the season. This rule excludes, of course,
all the best boats on the Lake. 1t is therefore,
proposed that Dan Hickok, Of the Washington
House, give Regatta on the same day that the
Biloxi race takes place. By this means the people
of the city may get up better Regatta than the
Biloxi one. The Undil,e, the Hicra, the Forsyth
and the Picay1Re, shut out as they are from the
Biloxi race, may come over and take part in The
Hiokok Regatta, The Biloxi Club are, we think
acting iBiudiciously, The object Of such Clul

A GREAT PRI2E,--A Canada paper gives as

shattered fortunes by accepting a. wife 10 uiirss
his old age, the well known wealthy old maid,
called Miss Coutts q Daughter Of George The
Thirds banker,
Miss Angela Burdett Couus Is the grand.daugh.
ter Of the banker, and daughter of the celebrated
baronet Sir Francis Burdett. She is PROBABLY the
wealthiest woman in England, and hes lately had
a triaing addition to her fortune of 10000 ster-
ling per annum, by the death of the Duke of ST.
Adams. Old Coutts married for his second wife
the actress Miss Mellon, to whom on his deceass he
bequeathed his enormous fortune. She afterwards
married the Duke Of St. Adams, then very young
and very poor, settling upon him this $1,000 per
annum for life. The Duke was a descendant from
Charles II. of England, by the celebrated Nell
Gwynne. The whole of Coutts enormous fortune
is now reunited in his grand daughter who has
taken the name of Coutts, and is unwilling to
change it for any other. Rumor has made her
Duchess of Wellington, but this last reduces her to
Lady McNab! By-the-by, speaking of Sir Allan
reminds us Of good story of him we have not
seen IN print. He is of Scotch family, where the
head Of the clan assumes to himself the dignity of
the whole house. The chief of the McNabs, Wis.
ting Canada, sent his card to his relative Sir AL
Ian, with the simple subscription "The McNab'
Sir Allan had lived long enough on this side of the
water to have an independent notion of his own,
and accordingly returned card with the ingcrip.
ton The other McNab" We do not vouch that
this is true, but it is good enough to deserve to
be true

Mr.. KENDALL's LAST LETTER.-The letter of
Mr.. kendall published in yesterdays Picayune, is
an attempt to answer the criticisms which have
been made on his opinions of European affairs.
To use an expression Of Sheridan's, on Gibbons's
Decline and Fall, the Defence il not luminous, is
al least vuuminous. Mr.. Kendall wishes to clear
himself from the charge of the Crescent, that he
picked up all his information about Italian affairs,
from the loungers about Meurices', or from Galig-
mani, or from the drawing rooms of the Chauss6e
dAniin. He says he hardly ever goes to any of
these places. Now, we did not mean to say that
Mr. Kendall was an admired guest and aclnow.
legged lion ofthe Chauss6e dAntin. The opinions of
the residents Of Chauss6e Antin, can be picked up
without their doors being open to the news-monger,
or without the latter important parsonage being in.
vlted TO sit at table with them. As to the charge
about Galignani, Mr.. Kendall has entirely mis-.
taken us. We did not mean to say that he GOT his
opinions at Galignanl's reading-room. We fully ac-
quit him of having any desire TO read even the lead
ing English newspapers in order to know their opiu-
ions about Europeans matters. We meant 10 say
that Mr.. Kendall cleaned his facts and sentiments
from Gagnani's Messenger, in which very original,
brilliant, and profound Journal, the Paris English
have served up to them daily re-hash OF scraps,
cut from the most bigored and Toryish Of the Bri-
fish newspapers

TIE PROSPECT IN France" Cosmopolite,"
the acute and well-inormed Paris correspondent Of
the New York Courier and Enquirer, after quoting
from Louis Napoeon's Tours speech the disayowal
Of any intention to attempt another 18Th Brumaire,
thus speaks of the prospects of parties and prnci.
pies in France:
Before the appearance of the Tours speech all
the ministerial papers, which till then had been
alarmingly silent the subject of the coup d'etat
came out in full cry against it, and were really as
tonished that any should have been simple
enough to suppose that one had been intended. La
PresSe ITSELF remarking upon the address, and upon
an editorial which in the Moniteur ACCOMPANIED
the address, says:
This precise answer and this formal article which all
France will read possess the importance of veHtRbe pul
cal event For part, do not hesitate declare
that they suffice to inspire with the absolute conf
dsnce, with the most complete security
"The advanced republican journals do not fully
partake of the confidence of La PreSSe, but they
have ceased to criticise the speech, and no more
predict a coup detGt for the 18th August.
For my own part, while loyalty report to you,
as in duty bound, all that is of nature to inspire
confidence in the stability of the present order of
things in France, / am by no means sangune, nor
very trustful. The words, the acts, the engage
ments, the oaths of to-day, give me 40 assurance
for tomorrow. 1t does seem TO me that no possible
engagement is strict enough or strong enough to
interdict public men of France from the prompt re-
sort, whenever it is deemed expedient, to the con.
venient nciple-circuHpStaace alter cases"

TIE AMERICAN CHARGE AT VIENNA-The
New Nork Tribune contains an article questioning
the authenticity of the letter attributed to Mr.
Stiles, the American Charge at Vienna, in relation
to the German revolutoniss. 1t AYERS that the
letter is misdated and mistranslated; that it had
reference to the events of last year, and was pub
lished nearly year ago; and that the German
agents TO when it refers were men of doubtful
character and not authorized to speak for the Ger
mans of New York. The writer, who declares
himself political adversary of Mr.. Stiles, gives
version Of the affair, from his own knowledge, OBJ
tanned at Vienna, to the benefit of which Mr.
Stiles is entitled especially as he has been publicly
censured for his course in this matter. The &C.
count, derived from Mr.. Stiles long ago, says that
not long after the breaking of the Vienna revo
luton in the spring of 1913, two persons appeared
in that city, assuming to be American citizens and
delegates from the United States They made
speeches in the Aula, which were received bV the
students with great enthusiasm declaring that this
country was reused into general excitement in their
special behalf, and that the delegates had broupbt
$1,000 as a contribution from the CITY of New York
alone to the revolutionary treasury of the students
These delegates became, of course, great men At
once. Finally the Wiener Zeitttag noticed them
in terms which Mr.. Stiles justly thought offensive
to the national honor, and in reply he wrote the
letter. He did not speak until he felt constrained
by public duty, and with no other purpose than to
expose what he considered lmposture. He afirms
that he believed the men to be arrant rogues making
use of the American name and of the revolution
airy excitement at Vienna in manner calculated
to injure the reputation Of his country with all par
ties. The exposure put check on their career.
They did not pay over the thousand dollars. but
there was a current report at Vienna that thew
bought on credit from $4,000 to $40 900 worth of
goods, which, Mr.. Stiles says, at the last advices
had not been paid for. The date of the letter in
the New York Herald is July II, lS49 The wri.
ter in the Tribune that he read it in print at
Vienna at least eight months before. TIE object
of this explanatory statement, and its effect il
substantated, is to relieve Mr.. Stiles from the od
UNI of having volunteered a caution against the
German liberals, and thrown the weight of his
Government, oficiously, in opposition to the late
republican movements in Europe.
