American PrIncessos.

The Hartfordi Courdm says American prin-
cesses are not so rare as is generally supposed.
Quite a number OF the fair daughters OF Uncle
Sam wear that "sweet aspect" which Shake.
speare tells us is princelY characteristic. The
eldest son of the great Murat married on the
30th OF July, 1926, while residing in this coun-
try, the beautiful Caroline Dudley, grand
niece of George Washington. Her husband died
in l847, but the Princess Murat Is still living.
The wife OF the living Prince Lucien Murat-the
head of his hoHse-was Caroline Georgana
Frazer, an American lady, who was born on the
18Th of April, 1910, and married t1e Prince
on the 18th of August, 1881, during his re-
sidence in this country. The sons and
daughters OF the Prince and Princess M1rat,
with one exception, were all born in this
country. The Murats pay great attention
to such OF their American relatives and
acquaintances as visit them IN Paris. Tnen
there is the Princess de Noer, who four
wears ago was plain Miss Mary Esther Lee,
daughter of David Lee, wealthy citizen of New
York. On the Sd of November. 1864, she mar
ried Prince Frederic, of SchlesH Holstein- Sender
rg-Augustenburg, who, three days after the
wedding, was created Prince de Noer by the
Emperor of Austria. Less than year after
wards on the I'd of July, 1865 the Prince de
Noer died while on a voyage OF pleasure, at
we believe, in Vienna. By her marriage she
became the aunt OF that Prince Christian of
Schles wig Hostein, who recently married the
Princess Helena, Queen Victoria's third daughter.
| Another late instance OF an American lady be-
| coming princess is that OF the Princess Salm-
| Salm. Her husband, Prince Felix Salm Salm, was
| a rather wild and adventurous member of the
| great Austrian house of Salm-Salm, who came to
| this country at the outbreak of the Rebellion,
| offered his Services to the Federal Government,
| and rose to the rank OF Brigadcr-Genersl. He
| married Agnes LIE Clerq, the daughter of Col.
| lie Clerd OF our volunteer service. 1t is this
| Princess Salm. Salm who lately made such sire
| nuous efforts to,save the life of Macmillan, the
| Prince, afte- the close OF our civil war, having
| Joined the Mexican Imperial army Her acts in
| fbis connection will entile her to the gratitude
| of Francis Joseph, and both she and her husband
| will doubtless take high positlon upon their
/ arrival in Vienna, among the titled members OF
| the Austrian court circles. we say nothing
| ahout the venerable Madame Bonaparte, of Bal
Enoore who AZ she had her rights would be
s,nIed Princess. And as for duchesses and
| ecynntesses and barOnesses, there are any num-
| her of American women who have attained
| tbIongh marriage these minor noble titles.
Co1oREp ScHooLs IN NEW 0RLEANs.-W
ootica that the Common Council of New
Orleans have appropriated $50, 600 towards the
maintenance Of colored schools. This is an
| act of Justice for which the Common Council
of New Orleans deserve high commendation.
The oolored population of that city who own
rood amount of taxable property are
assessed in common with others for the sup
mort of education, and yet the law has allowed
them nothing for the support of their schools.
| The present appropriation, therefore, is an
| acknowledgement of their rights, in the most
vital matter that concerns them. Such evil
dences Of reconstruction are gratifying. IN Y.
