A little romance for some time past
has been developing in fashionable cir
cles, which would furnish neat theme
for any social novelist in want of plot
The parties are well known pianist of
this city and the daughter of wealth y
gentleman who is something of musi-
cal amateur. The pianist was invited to
the house, gave lessons to the daughter,
and was allowed the freedom of the fam
lily. He was there mornings, bending
over his pupil in the intricacies Of
Chopin; was often asked TO dine, spent
evenings with the ladies, and his COM
panionship was allowed without thought
of the consequences. The pianist, as
was remarked at his concerts, is rather
handsome, the lady was winning, and
what else was to be expected but that
the two should become interested in each
other2 When this was discovered there
was indignation on the part of the fam
lily, the intimacy was broken off aud
every means was tried to end the infatua-
ton. The young lady was twice sent to
Europe, that she might forget the lover.
Of course it did no good. On her sec
ond return the young lady met her tSance.
Both renewed the assurance that their
interest was not to be quenched, and
they were privately married. The young
lady, of course, left her fathers house
previous to the marriage. One of the
leaders of society, lady of generous
and enthusiastic heart, took an interest
in the fortunate lovers, and planned a
large party at which the parents were to
meet their daughter and her husband for
the first time. The reception created no
little interest among fashionable people
a few weeks ago, and the lady's skillful
mediation has been successful, from all
counts.-NeU York Citizen.

Advices from Hanover state that the
King of Prussia was received in that city
with great eoldness. All the high fsmi-
lies had left on the preceding evening,
and as the King passed the windows of
the houses were closed. In many streets
the words king George fer ever |" were
traced in large characters on the walls.
The troops alone took part in the recep-
ton of King William, who appeared to be
entering conquered city. Count de
Bismarck did not appear to be much sur.
prised at the aspect of the population, and
said to the burgomaster, M. Bosch, to
whom the King had already addressed
few words: I'VE know that we are not
loved here, but we care very little for
that. We are the stronger, and that is
enough for us."
