DOMESTIC DIFFICULT Is IN HIGH MPE-It wonld

in the Philadelkhia Bulletin, that Smith and Jones
and Thompson, are not the only persons who
cant get along with their wives. The writer
says Queen Victoria's visit to Potsdam was to
smooth the course Of true love between her
daughter and her new husband, and adds:
Nor, says rumor, are these coDjugal tiffs merely
light breezes that create \ momentary ripple on
The fsce OF the waters, but perfect hurricanes,
scattering destruction and ruin. The young Prince
wh" had, as 1t was formerly reported, been a. re-
ally and botrgeoisemeat In love With the English
Princess for two years before he married, as
though he bad right to make match, now
carries his antipathy to ss great an extreme-the
quarres they have together are 30 fierce, that the
Princess IL said to have complained to her mother

mento gave a party last week, to which
a goodly number of ladies and gentle
men Of San Francisco were invited. But
the mere act Of invitation did not limit
the hospitality Of the host, who charter
ed the steamer Young America for the
guests. Landed in Sacramento they
found carriages in waiting which con-
veyed them to the mansion. After a
season of enjoyment they reembarked
andreached the Bay city none the worse
for the trip. The Alta thinks this will
do for a starter.
