The LOVE LIFE OF VICTORIA AND ALBERT.
queen Victoria of England has recent.
ly published a book giving full description
OF the courtshiT between herself and Prince
Albert. 1t appears that the Queen, thinking
both too young, had the marriage postponed
Tor year or two, which delay she subse-
quenuy repented. This is the manner which
she adopted to inform her uncle. the King of
the Pelglans, of the final engagement:
Windsor Castle, October Is, 1899.

agreed upon the match the bride is examined
by number of women to see if she has any
bodily defect. On her wedding dav she is
crowned with a garland of wormwood, to
denote the bitterness of the mar
RED state. She is exhorted to be obedient to
her husband, and it is a custom in some dis
trlets for the newl y married wife to present
the bridegroom with whip, in token of sub
MISSION. and with this lie seldom fails to
show his authority. In that cold and cruel
country, husbands are sometimes known to
torture their wives to death, without any
punishment for the murder If a woman
proves barren, the husband generally pre-
walls on her to retire into convent and
leave him at liberty. If he fails in persua-
sion, he is permitted to whip her into ODE
dence.
Such is the slavery in which Muscovtes
are kept by their parents and guardians
that they are not allowed to dispute any
union agreed upon by their elders, however
odious or Incompatible it may be- This ex
tends so far that officers in the army are not
permitted to marry without the consent OF
the sovereign, and wives whom they do not
want are even sometimes forced upon them.
Whether it be the result of this system OF
oppression, or of their savage climate, or OF
the unnatural hot air of the stove heated de
partments, it is certain that a more unlovely
race of women than the Russian. would be
difficult to find. They want" says an
English traveller, q" the genuine flavor which
only nature can give. That charming firm
ness and elasticity of flesh so Indispensable
requisite to constitute beauty, and so de
licious to the touch exist not among the
Russian females. or in very few of them"
We are told of the Aleutan Islanders,
who form part of our new Russian Ameri-
can acquisition, that they marry one, two or
three wives. as they have the means Of sup
porting them The bridegroom takes the
bride upon trial, and may return her to her
parents, should he not be satisfied, but can
not demand his presents back. No man is
allowed to sell his wife without her consent
but he may land often doesl assign her over
to another This custom, it is said, is avail
ed of by the Russian hunters. who take

ST. PETERsBURG.-St. Petersburg lies at
the iuncture of the Neva with the Lake La
CODA, in latitude 60 but the reader NAV
have better idea of its situation by being
informed that it stands on both sides Of the
river Neva, between that lake and the bot.
tom of the Finland Gulf In the year 1903.
this city consisted of few small fishing
huts, on a spot so WateriSh aud swampv.
that the ground was formed into nine islands.
which, according to Voltaire its principal
quarters are still divided Without enter.
ing into too minute description of this won.
derful city, it is sufficient TO say that it ex.
tends six miles each way, and contains every
structure of magnifcence, the Improvement
of the arts, revenue, navigation, war, com
merce. and the like that are to be found in
the most celebrated cities in Europe. Being
the emporium Of Russia, the number of
ships trading to it in the summer time is sur
prising. In the winter, many thousand
one horse sledges are employed for passen-
gers in the streets. 1t contains five palaces,
some of which are superb, particularly that
which is called the New Palace, near the
Triumphal Port, which is an elegant piece
of architecture All the neghborhood of
this city is covered with country houses and
gardens.

PRINTING AMONG THE EoMANs.-Disraeli
believes, and brings up a mass of evidence to
sustain him, that the art of printing was
known to the Romans, but that they rejected
1t as unsuited to their civilization, and that
the Emperors were bitterly opposed to it, as
in it they recognized powerful enemy to
their tyranny. They did, however, make
use of it on small scale. The Emperor
Justinian had a stamp on which was en-.
graved or carved the letters of his name, and
he made constant use of this for signing
documents. Theodore did the same. The
memorable letters with which the Roman
potters stamped their wares were similar to
those used by book, binders of the present
day for lettering. etc. The Romans were
also perfectly familiar with printing ink, and
their refusal to make use of the printing
press must be attributed either to the oppo.
stion of the Emperors or the popular belief
that it was not suited to such high civiliza-
ton

REMARKABLE FEcUNDITY.-The Lancaster
pa Express says:
We briefly stated on Friday last that q
German. named John Haefier, living in this
city. had on the previous day followed to the
grave his thirty third child, and that he was
the father of thirty-seven children. Since
then we have learned some further particulars
of this remarkable case. H3filer was married
three times. His first marriage took place in
Germany when he was twenty. one years of
age. With this wife be had seventeen chill.
dren. At four successive accouchments
trplets, twice twins, and the last a single
birth. Shortly after the latter event the wife
died. lie was again married, and the issue
Of the second marriage was fifteen children
seven times twins and the eighth single
child. The wife also died shortly after the
last birth. His third and present wife has
thus far presented him with five children, one
at birth. The sex of the children were
nineteen boys and eighteen girls, only four
of whom are now living. But whether the
living ones are all issues of the last wife or
part Of the previous wives. we have not
ascertained. H@fler is uow fifty two yeas
Of age, of medium SIZE, and of hardy, vigor
Gus constitution. He lives on what is known
as the Factory road. within the city limits.
In some sections of Germany premium is
awarded married people who produce
certain number of children. H@fler lived
in that section, and was the recipient Of one
hundred guiders previous to leaving. He
apparently labors under the impression that
similar award awaits him in this country.
If there is any State in the Union providing
for such cases, the authorities had better
send along the greenbacks.

SERvFD HIM RIGHT.-A Milwaukee paper
tells of a merchant of that city who returned
home the other evening earlier than usual,
and found the house in darkness. His wife
explained that she " was watching the street
in the moonlight" The explanation was
satisfactory, and the gentleman seated him
self upon the sofa beside his wife. His foot
came in contact with something under the
sofa which attracted his attention. He
caught hold of what appeared to be mans
boot, and hauled from beneath the sofa one
of his bosom friends and near neigbbor. In
vain his wife and the man protested that the
scheme was devised only to scare him Re
