yer very well knows that Wing Governors neper did
as general rule appoint as Directors in Banks and

the Fayetteville Observer. Again, that paper saws:
| "Whlg Governors, we imagine, usually appoint as

The Prince dc JoinvIlIe and the NnvIeS France
aud England.

Some correspondence has recently passed between
Captain Townshend, R. NJ, and the Prince de Join
vile, respecting passage in phamplet issued by
his royal highness, in 1882 stating that rgale which
formed part of the British fleet, under Admiral Sir
Robert Stopford, in 1899, left Besika Bay for
the purpose of observing the French movements
Capt. Townshend, commander of the frigate in
question (the Tyne) contradcts this statement, as
serting that the for being ordered remain
Beska Bay was because dispatches were expected
from Consaniinope He further expresses his regret
that his royal highness, whose family had ever re-
ceved kindness and courtesy from this country should
in his pamphlet have evinced jealousy and anmosiiy
towards, and spoken vauntngy of the superiority of
the French navy.
The letter concludes by stating the gallant captains
belief that if collision should take place between the
two countries the result would justify the confidence
England entertained that " ever man would do his
duty."-The prince, in his reply, which appears in
French, withdrew the assertion in the obnoxius pas
sage, stating that it furnished TO him by his COM
rades, at Constantinople He disclams any feeling
of anmosity towards England and expresses his ad-
mraton of the institutions which permit him to find
refuge in the country At the time, he asserts
that if more should be expected than that he should
pay for the inequalities he receives he would leave
the country His royal highness's letter concludes
with expression of confidence in the naval force OF
France, which it had been his duty to endeavor to
render effective possible

Younger than himself. Dr.. Conneau, who is said 10

heart, and am now ready to become your wife. Too
much surprised at this declaration to believe his pupil
in earnest the doctor turned it off pleasantly

formal and distinct refusal of the hand she had of
fered him. The young lady, however, as it seems
we'll considered the subject and her purpose was no
