HOW A PRINCES FALL MADE A BLACK
SMITH

Among other historical obscurties with which
fafls Is hlled at this moment may be quoted Herr
Baron u, who, enriched and ennobled by the
King of Prussia, rose from the humblest origin to a
position of high consideration in the world While
the present Prince OF Prussia then infant of some
three years OF age, was staying at the Palace of
Babelsburg by some negligence of his nurse he was
lett alone for a few minutes in an apartment on the
third floor. With the marvellous instinct of mis-
chief peculiar to children of that age the little prince
took immediate advantage of the absence of the
nurse to accomplish feat which he had, doubtless
been for long time ambitious, and which consisted
in an agreeable walk outside the window, upon the
narrow ledge of the coping stone, whence he could
conveniently climb up the back of the lion rampant
which supports the entabature of the frontispiece
which adorns the building. A poor blacksmth's
workman, who had been sent for to execute some re-
pairs In the Palace, was just coming up to the
garden, and behed with horror the situation of the
child. With true presence of mind, he FASTENED
gently to the spot beneath the window following
every movement of the urchin with the keenest
anxiety, and extending wide his leather apron as
glddness which should occur to the bold little adj
venturer. As the child drew nearer to the lion.
the ledge no longer afforded such firm footing
and presently, with loud cry, he pitched over
from that terrific height, right nto-the leather
apron OF the blacksmith, which sustained the
shock without failing, and in another moment the
little prince was restored safe and well to his royal
parents, who in token of their gratitude took i'm
mediate charge of the fortune of the brave Young
workman, and bestowed upon him a handsome pen

GREAT FIRE AT NTMERP


A letter dated at Antwerp on the evening of the
Sd of August says:
"a dreadful fire has destroyed the Exchange
with its magnificent bronze cupola, arcades and its
tribunals of commerce. The chambers of the Syn
die, with the city archives, completely destroy
ed The fire broke out in an upper story this
morning at two O'clock All is in ruins. Nothing
savcd'
The Independence Beige, in a letter dated Antwerp,
Monday morning, go, says:
"At the moment | write an immense disaster is
occurring in city. The Bourse of Antwerp, that
place to which many glorious souvenirs are
attached, and which by its late improvements its
fairy-ike covering, had become the admiration of
all foreigners, is nothing than heap of
rubbish and smouldering ashes. The glass roof
feel with a frighttul crash, and the enormous
pieces of the metal framework broke like glass on
falling to the ground. Every part of the building
is destroyed, and it with difficulty that the
neighboring houses could be preserved The civil
and military authorities, the troops, the fremen
every one, indeed did their duty but nothing could
be done to the Bourse which will be burnt to the
last fragment of wood. The fire appears to have
arisen in an upper room, the side of the Courte
Rue DIES Glars 1t was there least that the flames
were first SEEM and in half an hour the place was
enveloped in fire. The BOurse contained the cham
Der of commerce, the tribunal, and the record of
flee, the syndical chambers of the stockholders the
syndcal chambers of the Antwerp brokers, and the
telegraph bureaux. Nothing, absolutely nothing
is saved. All the archives of these various bodies
are LOST

unfortunate for the purpose of the murderer, but
favorable to the ends of justice, that strychnine

such characteristic symptoms in the victim while he
yet lives, which affords more decisive evidence
of its presence after death. minute fraction of A

The QUEEN AND PRNCE ALBERT ON THE Road
The officer who conducted a correspondent of the
New ork EcpreSs through the stables a Windsor

follow incident
at seems Her Majesty as well as Prince Albert,
love fast horses, and she never rides without her
nags are upon the quickest trot. Well, she had
heard Of the speed Of New YOrk horses, and some
how the story of the rapid movements of A pair of
them in London reached the ears of the Prince and
the Queen. They were both anxious to see their
movements and try their speed, which being made
known to their American owner, he forthwith chal-
lenged Prince Albert to test the mette of his ami
mails between London and Windsor The ROYAL
party were to have twenty minutes start and chance
horses on the road, while the American trotters
were to go through the entire distance The affair
was wholly private, and yet what was in the wind
leaked out among the grooms, and all was excite
ment.
"Having reached the halfway house and road
with fresh horses again for start, they all looked
anXlously back to the American horses The Queen
and Prince Albert were as interested as if their
crown was the issue; and remembering the Yacht
race where the America was victorious. bv a
wave of her hand to her Positions Victoria urued
them forward But it did not avail The Ameri
can trotters were soon in sight, and it was but few
minutes before they were meek ank neck with the
royal party; to their utter amazement they soon
passed them as trotting horses are sometimes ac-
customed to do on the Bloomingdale road When
the Queen and Prince reached Windsor the Ameri-
can horses were all nicely grOOmed. and ready if
need be, for another start This exploit led to the
purchase of some trotting animals; but having ieop
ardiZed the lives of the royal party they wisely
were abandoned. This is the POSITIONS story and
