What will Become of Them I

From the Pail Mall Gazette. July 81.
There is one class of persons, or
rather personages, who will suffer much
if the smaller German States are all
merged in their larger neighbors. Where
are the kings, the queens, the princes,
and the princesses of the rest of Europe
to find sufficiency of eligible candidates
for their hands as wives and husbands 2
Already the supply is barely equal to the
demand, and with the new-fangled no.
tions about our common flesh and
blood, as applied both to princesses
and workingmen, it is hard to imagine
what will be the consequences of large
diminuitien in the number of German
royalties. AT the present time there are
hardly any sOvereignties in Europe in
which a German prince or princess is
not either king or queen, or father-in-law
or mother-in-law, or married to the heir
apparant or heir-presumptive to the
crown 1t has hitherto, indeed, been
the mission of Germany to supply Eu-
rope with theology, classical dictionaries
and royal wives and what is to happen
when dozen more thrones are abolished
it is difficult to see When the various
Coburgs, who judiciously keep up a
couple Of religions in the various
branches of their family, so as to be
available both for Catholic and Protes-
tant emergencies, have ceased to be
themselves royal, the embarrassment will
be really serious.

New YORK, August THE Prussian
Government has made demand upon
the English Government for the treasure
packed up and carried off by the King of
Hanover and his suite in their fight, and
deposited by them with the Bank of Eng
land, asserting that she will seize and
retain the Hanoverian domain if not
given up The amount of coin was one
million two hundred and fifty thousand
thalers.
The Pdtrie announces that Mexican
army, $4,000 strong recruited among
Mexicans and officered by Europeans,
will take the place of the French army,
and will maintain Macmillan on the
throne
The Municipal Council of Vienna has
presented petition to the Emperor re-
affirming their loyalty, but seriously
urging upon him certain reforms IN his
military and civil affairs.
They say also at momentous period
the representatives Of Vienna will not
dwell upon all the courses which have
brought about the present deeply serious
position of the Empire To one course,
however, they must allude 1t is that
this position has been not so much oc-
casioned by the recent reverses in the
field as by the unfortunate policy which
the advisers Of the Crown have pursued,
both at home and abroad, for long
series of years. 1000 H

work the Hungarian war, is rather
clumsy and fails to convince. Certain
it is that the world charged him with be-
traying his country and his eountrymen,
and the very lenient treatment he re-
ceived at the hands of Austria, in the
sight of the gallows at Arad, gave strong
evidence of the justice Of the charge. If
now he should be called forth from his
retreat at Klagenfurt, it would be again
to save the monarchy, which already
once by his military genius lie brought
to The brink Of ruin and then saved by
voluntary surrender. But whether the
Hungarians, with the memory of Villages
in their hearts, would cheerfully follow
him into battle again, may well be ques-
toned The very fact that Gorgey is
spoken of as possible military leader,
is enough TO show the necessitous condis
ton OF the Government We would
have TO suffer many defeats before our
people would think of General r. E. Lee
as leader of our armies. -Neto York

Arthur Gorgey.

The Vienna FriendeRbiatt, Of the
18th Of July, contains the strange an
nouncement that the command of the
Hungarian volunteers, then organizing
for the Austrian army, was to be given
to Gorgey. 1t is well known that Arthur
Gorgey is one of the few men living
whose mental capacity is not only be-
yond mediocrity, but reaches fully up to
the hight Of real genius. An eminent
professor of chemistry, respectable au-
thor, an admired composer of operas, he
is at the same time great general, per

Married the Wrong Lady.

Love is very uncertain thing, and 1t
is not very safe to be too certain of the
symptoms until they are unmistakable
Vienna has been stirred up lately by the
comical result of a strange love story.
1t seems that in the house of one Herr
Kuhne, teacher of languages, DR.. Kant,
young physician, happened to make
the acquaintance of young lady, bur
dened with some property, and thirty
years of age The lady, being unmarried,
evnced some interest in the young, but
rather abashed doctor She made love
to him, in fact, very strongly, and per
suaded him TO visit her at her houst
But alas he loved another lady One
evening, white couversing with him, she
said a-ht-i'
With your favorable idea of matri-
mony, may | ask if you ever thought of
marrying yourself?'
DIR. Kant sighed and his eyes resting
on the ground, hesitatingly nuttered in
reply: G.
" | have already thought of marrying,
and my choice, but fE
" But ? the lady hastily lnterposed
" But, he continued, the lady is rich,
very rich, and / am poor. / am afraid
that could hardly aspire to her hand !;
and rather than allow myself to be taxed
with sordid designs, / will bury my pas
sion in my breast, and leave it unavswed
forever.
At an early hour the following day,
however, she betook herself to solicit
tor, and in legal form declared her wish
to present and hand over as his property
the sum of 1900 guilders (el5, ,000) to
Dr. Kant When the document had
been signed, countersigned, and duly
completed, she sat down in the Office,
and inclosing it in an elegant envelope,
added the following note: aa..r
DEAR SIR: | have much pleasure in
inclosing paper which | hope will re-
move the obstacle in the way OF your
marriage Believe me, etc,

sALIeE MARTINI

DR., Kant-for he, and no other, was
the individual addressed-was the hap
piest man in the world on receiving this
generous epistle. Repairing at 9nce to
the parents of the Frautein Fischel, the
lady of his love, he proposed for and re-
ceived the hand of the girl who had been
flatered by his delicate, though unmoved,
His reply to Alice Martini,
besides conveying his sincerest thanks,
contained tw0 cartes de visite, linked
together by the significant rose-colored
ribbon. Miss Martini forthwith sued the
happy bridegroom for restitution but
as no promise of marriage had been
made, the case was, by two successive
courts, decided against her. ""

New York Dry Goods Market.

New YORK, October 16.
The firmncss in the dry goods trade
continues, Notwithstanding the absence
of business. The advance in cotton in
Liverpool IL Lid, and the light stocks
of goods Of leading characters in this
market, adds to the firmncss and gives
holders increased confidence. 1t is also
felt that the interior market is not yet
supplied, and that there must be lib
eral demand for goods before the winter
sets in. With this feeling manufacture
ers can afford to keep up prices until
stocks begin to accumulate. The demand
is very light and irregular, yet sufficient
to take up all leading goods as fast as
they arrive. In some less desirable
grades the stocks are increasing and
there is less tirmness but no decline.

Death of Rarcy. the Horse Tanner.

The New York Herald says that John
S. Rarey, the celebrated horse tanner,
died suddenly at Cleveland on the 4th
instant Last December he had a stroke
of paralysis, since which tune he had
been treated by several prominent phys
icians. On Thursday ut = p. NJ, he left
the Waddell House for Il walk, but soon
returned, complaining of pain in the
head. Afterb being seated few minutes
he exclaimed, 81 am dying" and in
about an hour he expired.
Mr.. Rarey was a native of Franklin
county, Ohio, where he was born in 1923
He first publicly developed his system
for tanning, or rather training horses in
1855, but from early childhood he had
been a student of what is now known
rs "Rarey's system" In 1856 he visited
Texas, and studied for year or two the
habits of the animals of that State,
meeting with great success in tanning
the wild horses of that region. On his
return from Texas, he gave his first pub
lie exhibition at Columbus, Ohio. since
which time he has almost constantly
been before the public. In the course of
his career he was consulted by the chief
cavalry officers of England and this
country, and Major General Hallcck en-
plOyed him in 1863 TO inspect and report
upon the condition of the horses of the
Army of the Potomac. which he did with
considerable discretion.
