The Prince Of Wales is getting into bad con-
pany ifthe following story, told by London letter
writer, Is true: A+A' '--- % 9 s'a5s- -
A matter which greatly disturbs the
good and loyal subjects of England Is the
intimacy between the Duke ofSt. Adams
and the Prince of Wales. The Duke of
81, Albans is a young man, about the age
OF the prince and he has succeeded, in
the course of his short but eventfuf life.
IN getting up one of the most notorious
regulations IN Europe. His character Is
so bad that, with veryi biohs rapR and
great wealth, he il. not tolerated n the
respectable aristocratic society of Lon
don. He began his career by getting IN
to all sorts Of serapes at Oxford, in which
city ne used to appear with greater reg
ularity in the police court than at the col,
lege chapel, and from which university be,
was finally expelled In ydisgrace. Since
then he has been the hero Of innumerable
adventures on the continent, scandalous
and otherwise, is well known in every
gambling house, and brothel, and police
court of Paris, and is as accomplished q
william, for . young man, as you can find
in many q day. At Oxford, one day.
while yet he was in his teens, three DIFF
ferent young women appeared in court
against him, with charges Of seduction.
Since then he has matured in everv spec-
les of dissipation, and Is as well known to
the London police as any long fingered
Jack from Billingsgate. And this Il the
most intimate friend, companion, and con-
fident heir to the British throne. They
are constantly seen together-often 90
arm-in-arm together alone o nights fand
where they 60 to is hardly 4 mystery}.9
St.Albans stays by the week at Maribo-
rough House, and Wales az regularly re-
tciprocates by visiting the duke at his
house-and they are in every way, shsnd
and glove" Not only this. the Duke of
st. Albans is the intimate friend of the.
Princess, as well as the Prince of Wales,
and is oftenseen riding with her alone in
the parks. 1t is, naturally, matter Of
uneasiness' to the English, that 90 grace
less reprobate should be SO familiar with,
the future queen, who Is quite too giddY
now to suit their staid tastes, and whezis
vastly imprudent in her association with
this noble duke. Thus we see the Prince
of Wales and bis fair wife going into the
same path that George the Fourth, Of
disgraceful memory, trod, and we may
look forward to 9 not very promising
reign, when another tory and ,disolute
king ascends the British throne.

A MorHsR's IsrLuEScx.-Hon Thos n. Ber-
ton, in a speech in New York, turned to the la
dies, and, referring to his mother, said '7@'il !
MY mother asked me never to use to-
bacco, and ] have never touched it from
that time to the present day. She ask
ed me not to game, and have never gam
ed and cannot tell to-day who is los
ing and who is winning in games that
are played. She admonished me, too,
against hard drink; and whatever useful
ness may attain in life I attribute to
having complied with her pious and ear
nest wishes. When seven years of age,
she asked me not to drink, made then
a resolution of total abstinence. form
ed an abstinence society at time when
/ was the sole constituent member OF my
own body: and that have adhered to
it through all past time, | owe to my
mother. -

Women in the LIQUOR Business

A number of women of Cambridge, in
this State undertook to put a stop to
the liquor tarffic of that place, and ta-
king the law into their. own hands have,
with those of them who have husbands,
been brought into court. These women
are all from the most respectable circles;
and when they arrived at Hillsboro, the
County Seat, for trial, were waited upon
at the station by the good people of Hills
boro and escorted to their quarters which
were rendered them by different families.
The trial is now going on, and from the
correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette
we gain the following facts:
The alleged offence was committed in
July 1865, and the Grand Jury refused
to find bill against the defendants and
thus the liquor sellers were left to seek
a civil remedy. The facts brought out
on trial were as follows: A number of
ladies served notices on liquor dealers
to dispose of their liquors within two
hours. At the end Of that time they
marched in procession to a saloon broke
open the doors, rolled out the barrels,
and stove them. Then they went to a
drug store and empted $500 worth of
liquor into the street, then to another sa-
loon and cleaned out that, and thence to
shop kept by one of their own sex
where they found out one barrel of whis-
ky. and that doing duty as center
table in the parlor, with a cloth over it.
The ladies CLAIMED to the Court that as
the selling was against the law, they
Owere merely abating nuisance, but the
Court held that they had no right to
correct nuisance. One young lady insist.
ed upon pleading guilty and taking the
punishment. AS it is the trial excites very
great interest t-7 -ft..t. .s-

: The Hand that Saved Us.

Two painters were employed to fresco
the walls of magnificent cathedral
Both stood on rude scafolding, con-
structed sor the purpose, some forty feet
from the floor.
One of them was so intent upon his
work that he became wholly absorbed,
and in admiration stood off from the pic
ture gazing at. it with intence delight.
Forgetting where he was, he moved
back Slowly, surveying critically the
work Of his pencil, until he had neared
the edge Of the plank on which he stood.
At this critical moment his companion
turned suddenly, and almost paralyzed
| with horror, beheld his imminent peril
another instant and the enthusiast would
be precipicated upon the pavement be-
neath! If he spoke to him it was Ger.
tain death; if he held his peace, death
was equally sure! Suddenly he regained
his presence of mind, and siezirg a wet
brush, flung it against the wall, spatter
ing the picture with. unsightly blotches OF
lco1oring! -
The painter flew forward and turned
upon his friend with. fierce upbraidings
but. started at his ghastlv face, he listen
ed to his recital Of danger, looked shud.
dering over the dread sprae below, and
/ with tears of gratitude, blessed the hand
that saved him.
just so we sometimes get absorbed
upon the pictures of the world, and IN
contemplating them, step backward, un,
conscious of our peril; when the Almigh
ty in mercy dashes out the beautiful i'm
age. and draws us at the time we are com
pIaining of his dealings, into his out
! e. ro,+ cbod arms of commission and love.

VINE CULTURE IN SOUTHERN CALIFoR-
NIA.-The method Of training in these
vineyards is totally unlike that adapted
by the spanish maiden Of Santa Barbra,
and as different from our customes in the
Atlantic States. The cuttings-some-
times started first in nurseries, sometimes
not. are set about six feet apart each way,
in rows at right angles, like rows of corn.
Instead of being trained upward they are
headed down; and instead of being
trained outward they are headed in to the
last degree. Every successive winter they
undergo the severest pruning, and
not more than fingers length at the
most of the last years growth of any
branch is left, BY this process the vines
become literally trees self supported, and
and there is neither trellis nor stake re-
quired or used. These grape trees of q
hundred years, grand and old as they are,
yet small, one may, indeed, stand under
their branches, but their highest clusters
are within his reach. The older the vines
the better the yield. This holds true of
all the vines Of from years old, to when
they grow to be as venerable in age as
tnose VI AOnAAys. - eflL
The FATAL SEVEN Under this head
the Pittsburgh Commercial notices the
fact that almost every decade in our his
tory, ending with the, figure seven has
marked the history ofa financial crash OF
depression. Thus, with 1927 came the
crash that wiped out the continental cur
rency.d In 1907 our toubles with France
expected troubles with England, confns-
ed the business of the country. In 1917 a
tremendous financial convulsion occurred,
the legacy of the war of 1872 and Id.
In 1921 the infiction was less severe
but, ten years later, in 1887, the whole
banking system and business of the coun
try went down, to be Frustrated to q
greater or less extent for the ensuing five
years In la47 there were no particular
hard times on this side of the Atlantic,
but on the other side, the English railroad
spectators produced great evils, and
gaunt famine stalked over Ireland and
other parts of Europe. In 1887 imitation
and over trading with US, ended in seri-
Gus commercial losses. f2uldss n u g5fz.
