THE LAST OF THE STDARTs.-Tt is un-
derstood that the nearest of kin to the Stu
arts, now living, IS the present King of Sar-
DINA, and that the last descendant IN the
direct line was Cardinal York, who died
some years since in Rome. and was inter-
red in the Vatican, where a tomb is erect
ed to his memory, inscribed, "Henry TX,
King of England" 1t is SAID that George
w., treated the Cardinal very generously,
and paid him an annual pension ;..and that
the tomb which claims for the last of the
Stuarts the title of King. of England was
paid for by George ". This fac: is con-
elusive that the Romish Church has never
acknowledged the reigning family, as it can
not be supposed that George w. conceded
that Cardinal York was King of England

Fanny Wright

During the past few weeks several dis
tingushcd characters have passed from
earth, celebrated more for their eccentrlci-
ties, than for their virtues or greatness
To the list we have to add the name of the
notorious Fanny Wright, Madame Darius
mont, who died in Cincinnati, on Tuesday
last. Fanny Wright was born in Dundee,
Scotland, September 6, 1896, and was con-
nected with one of the great Highland fam
lilies, whose names and deeds have become
parts of the history of her native land
She come TO this country in 1918, and was
welcomed to the homes of many of our dis
tinguished artists and leading men. She
returned to England in 1920, and publish
ed volume entitled "Views of Society and
Manners in America" highly compliment
tary. In the Spring of 1881, she visited
Paris, and from her literary reputation, con-
tracted an intimate friendship with Lafay-
ette. In 1924 she returned to America in
company with the guest OF the nation, Gener-
al Lafayette. In 1882 she again returned
to Paris, where she was married to M. d..
Arusmont, by whom she had an only daugh-
ter, who survives her. Her union proving
an unfortunate one, she & her husband sep
arated, she returning to this country, he
remaining in Paris. -, 49,. ..
Her career has been one, which no true
woman can contemplate with feelings of
pleasure. She wandered outside the sphere
in which alone she could accomplish good
for her race. Her quixotic attempt to es-
tablish colony Of free negroes at Mem
phls, Tenn; her association with the inf
del association at New Harmony, Indiana;
her writings and her public lectures, may
be titles TO future notoriety; but they can
never gild her immoral opinions or anti
christian propagandism, with more than
momentary and meretricious splendor,-

NORWEGIAN LEpRosY.-A letter written
by James C. Richmond, for the Evangel-
cal Catholic. dated Bergen, Norway, Sept.
20, says that the Oriental leprosy, as de-
scribed by Moses, exists at this moment in
Norway. In addition to a leprosy house
established some centuries ago, the Govern
ment has recently built hospital, the first
that the world ever knew for the cure of
leprosy. The disease is confined almost
exclusively to the western coast of Mr.
way and the number of lepers is nearly one
in fifty. The writer adds, that it is from
the western coast that the emigration to a.
merca takes place.. and that the opinion of
the attending physician at the hospital in
Norway is. that the disease will show itself
among these emigrants in this country, and
probably become pestilent disease in the
Western Saes.

EUROPEAN ARMAMENTs.-AP Paris letter
of the I'd instant in the N. Y. Commercial
says
The military array of Belgium continues
to be greatly disproportioned, in magnitude
and expense, to her population and ex-
chequer. Naples maintains an army of up
wards of hundred thousand, with ten or
twelve thousand cavalry. Sir Archibald
Alison assigns six hundred thousand to
Russia, and adds
"Fifteen hundred thousand are marshall
ed on the Continent ready for mutual
slaughter, awaiting only signal from their
respective Cabinets to direct their united
hostility against any country which may
have provoked their resentment.
Nevertheless, we shall not see war, nor
slaughter, nor any such league. According
to the same authority. the triumph Of the
Emperor Nicholas on the plains Of Hunga-
ry rendered him the undisputed master Of
the East of Europe, and forced Austria into
secret alliance, offensive and defensive,
WHICH at the convenient season will open
to the Russians the road to Constantinople.
"Sixty-six millions Of men, doubling ev-
cry half century, now obey the mandates
of the Gar, whose will is law, and who
leads people whose passion is conquest
Europe may well tremble at the growth of
power possessed of such resources, actu-
ated by such desires, led by such ability;
but Europe alone does not comprise the
whole family of mankind. The great de-
signs of Providence are working out their
accomplishment by the passions of the free
agents to which their, execution has been
entrusted. Turkey will yield; Persia be
overrun by the Muscovite battalions; the
original birthplace of our religion will be
rescued by their devotion; and as certainly
as the Transatlantic hemisphere, and the
islands of the Indian Sea will be peopled
by the self-acting passions Of Western de-
mocracy, will the plains of Asia be won to
the cross by the resistless arms of Eastern
dcspotlsm."

~ A Frankfort Germany newspaper
gives the following extraordinary anecdotes:
"Mr. Leissing, the best actor of Germany
has Just died. He left all his fortune, which
was considerable, to the Charitable in-
stitutions of Frankfort In his will he states
that he has been tormented all his life with
the idea of being buried alive: and, in Or
der to avoid any risk of such contingent
cy, he ordered that as soon as his death
should be declared by the competent medi-
cal authority, his skin should be hayed
from his body from head to foot, and that
the skin so taken off should. be given to the
Museum of Natural; History of Frankfort
In his will M. Leissing named the surgeon
who should perform the operation, and left
large sum as his compensation. The Mu-
scum was applied know whether 1t would
accept SO strange bequest it replied af-
frmatively, on condition that the skin
should first undergo the treatment necessa-
ry for its preservation. The Tribunal of
Premiere Instance then sanctioned the
will"

A TALE -BEARER.-The Bible, in the fol-

RESPECT DUE TO WIvEs.-Do not jest
with your wife upon subject in n ',:sa when
there is danger of wounding her feelings.
Remember that she treasures every word you
utter. Do not speak of some virtue IN an
other mans wife to remind your own wv, Oh d
fault Do not reproach your wlie WIN per-
soual defects, for if she has sensolllty, you
inaict a wound difficult to heal. Do not treat
YOUR wife with inattention in company: il
I touches, her pride, and she will not respect
YOU more or love you better for it. Do no
vnbraid your wife in the presence ofathird
party: the sense of your disregard of heI
feelings will prevent her from acknowledge
her faults. Do not entertain your wife BY
praising the beauty and accomplishments o o
other women. Ifyou would have pleasan
home and cheerful wife, pass your even ven
ings under your own roof. Do no. pe s.ei, u,
and silent in your own house, and remark
able for sociability elsewhere.

BALTIMORE, August is, 1853.
There has been decided change in Tia atmps-
phere for the better to-day, the sun having been
enveloped in cloud during the morning, much to
the qualification OF all concerned. From New
York we also have tdings Of more moderate wea-
Their, with the accompaniment Of a storm Of ain.
There have been one hundred and fifty-seven
deaths in Baltimore during tho past week, being
an unusual large number, even for the summer
solstice. Cholera infantum, consumption, and
the strokes of the sun are doing their work
with us. Ea az 1900
A Jealous husbend, named Duncan, yesterday
followed man named Campbell who was walk
ing with his wife. He finally, on reaching the
lower part of Baltimore street, picked up brick,
which he hurled at them; but it missed its mark,
and struck a small negro child on the head, caus-
ing its death in few moments. The offender
was arrested and committed to Jail.
The use of poisoned sausages and meat in kill
ing dogs, as adopted by our corporation, has re-
suited seriously in several instances to children;
and on Sunday professional rag-picker picked
up one of these poisoned morsels, and eat it,
causing almost instant death. IA
