TO know what kind Of a marriage a
morgandtic one is. A "morganatic'
(sometimes termed cleft handed") mar
riage is one IN which a person marres
another person Of inferior birth, with
the stipulation that neither the latter
party, or his or her children shall en-
Joy tho rank or succeed to the possrs-
sions OF the first party. 1t was formerly
quite a common practice among Ger
man princes, and some instances Of it,

being thrown IRON his horse. Had he
