electing rulers than is contained in the follow
ing humiliating revelation concerning Grand
Duke Charles, husband Of the Grand Dutchess
Stephsnie, of Baden, which is made by M
Edoart simon, in the Revue Contemporaire:
"At the Palace of Carlsruhe," SAYS the
article, "a whole series of apartments was found
which the late Grand Duke had successfully
locked up,and which nobody had entered since
1t had long been an old mania of his to lay by
everything he received, no matter what, and
no matter from whom. No one was allowed to
touch these things; the Grand Duke himself
abstained from doing 80, without ever taking
the slightest notice of any application for resti.

PRIDE MORTIFIED AT a ball given in Pry-

me to dance with a commoner."

preceptor out OF countenance, for on the con-
tinent TO be so deserted on the eve of dance,

were going forward for another waltz the
young count requested the reflector of his tutor
