MOST INTERESTING DISCUSSION Is now
going on among young ladies In fashionable
circles, which has doubtless been prompted
by the announcement that Prince Arthur
would visit this city in tho course ofthe Fall
or Winter. The point In dispute Is, the right
or wrong Of forbidding his Royal Highness
to marry out Of the royal line. 1t 10 related
that once upon the occasion Of q visit Of q
party Of distinguished gentry and common.
ers to Windsor Castle, the beautiful daughter
of London merchant who was In the train,
attracted the attention OF the present Duke
Of Edinburgh, Prince Alfred. He omitted all
attentions to the balance Of the company,
and devoted himself exclusively to her.
Just prior TO the party leaving the Castle,
the queen mother, who has vigilant eye,
even though she be such an easy-going mon
arch, detected her beloved offspring In the
act Of encircling one Of tho fngers Of the fair
oommoner with q ring which he had worn as
charm upon his watch chain. ltiswell,"
said her Majesty to bystander, "slnce no
can 70 no further" Too conndlng Queen
II reports speak truly he has gone much fur
Their and Jared much worse. But what a
weight Of tyranny Is conveyed In that little
she can 90 no further" and what wonder
that our own beautiful aspirants for the
honors Of q princely alliance should resent
the cruel custom which practically nullines
tho influence Of their charms and destroys oil
their bright anticipatlons.

TREArMEsT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS ny THE
CUBAN VoLUNTKERs.-A correspondent writ
ing from Mstanzas, Cuba, gives a shocking
account of the acts committed by the yolun-
tcers. From his statement II appears that
all who wish to live without working Join the
so.called defenders OF the Spanish authority
Prollting by their newly acquired position
they levy black mail on all, under threats OF
having them registered as insurgents. Every
atrocity committed by those lawless bands
is allowed to 60 unpublished by the competent
authorities, who rarely If ever allow Justice
to citizens. Many victims Of their Internal
actions arc either killed by them or publicly
shot, and In some instances tho executions
have reached some twenty per day. Many
Guiet, peaceful citizens are obliged to fly from
their homes on account ofthese prosecutions,
and prefer suffering hunger and misery In q
foreign country to submitting to dlshonor at
home.

A REpoRTINo MAcHIsE.-M. Gensoul,
an ingenious Frenchman, has invented a
"stenograpbic press" The reporter sets at
something like the keyboard of a piano forte,
and by applying his fingers to the keys, prints
the words as they drop from tho lips OF the
s,,eaker, syllable by syllable, on o strip Of
pal 7er, which rolls along underneath. When
we uy this We do not, Of course, mean that
the words are printed In letters. The key
board appears TO be divided into three parts
of eight keys each. The left side, worked by
tho four fingers Of the left hand, prints signs
which represent initial consonants; the right,
worked by the fingers Of the right hand,
prints final consonantsj and the middle, act
cd on by the two thumbs, prints the medium
vo wells. We gather that something like pho
nc,.ic system Of signs Is employed. A few
months practice Is said to enable any opera
tor to follow the most fluent speaker with
cascI We ought to say that n. Gensoul's
syst GIN renders 1t unnecessary to transcribe
the copy.

The ENGLISH COURT DREss.-A London
letter to the New York Times gives the fol-
lowing touching the court dress: ..
"To-day the Queen arrived in London
the first time she has favored us with q
visit since last year. She holds court this
afternoon, in which gentlemen may appear
in that wonderful new court dress, consist
ing of velvet, if it so pleases them. Or,
there is an alternative suit, in which
also trousers are permissible-but they
must be trousers with gold stripe down
the side. The velvet suit is a fad of the
Prince Of Wales, and it consists of dress
coat of silk velvet, white vest, velvet panta-
looms. The coat has an embroidered gold
collar. | have not yet seen q man with
velvet pants or, but should think the
general effect after he had sat down in them
a few times would be startling. The coat,
by-the-bye, is to have guilt buttons on it..
Already bold pioneers may be seen about
society in evening dress with gilt buttons
on their coats. l remember seeing two &c
three adventurous New Workers with SINH
lar coats on, ever go long ago. Ent the
fashion has been long time forcing Its
vsy. Even now the innovators are in G
decided minority. I happened to 10 at a
dinner party the other night where there
were about forty men, sad only four OF
them wore the blue coats With gilt buttons.
The Prince Of Wales wanted to Introduce
velvet dress coats for ordinary wear, but
the town did not take kindly to the idea.
Now that they are worn at court, they
must stand a better chance Of coming into
-
