The Prince Of Wales.

The virtues of that model queen, Victoria,
aud the inofensiye mediocrity of her amiable
consort have by no mes rs descended to their
eldest bornsa The Prince of Wales, indeed,
might be taken as the model of the bad young
man of. the period. Doubtless he is no worse
tlan others but scandal, likeldeath, loves a
shining mark, and certainly Wales shines
in scandal more brilliantly than in anything
clse While the Prince is disporting himself
with so much magnifcence in the Orient,
there are certain grave whisperings among
the gossips of Warwickshire county at home
which threaten to become unpleasaptly out
spoken They involve the domestic peace of
a country gentleman, Sir Charles Mordaunt,
the honor of his wife and the legitimacy of
newly born infant Sir Charles considers
that the child has no claim TO his name, and
swears that if there is law in England he has
the evidence which will convict the heir to
the throne of an offence known to criminal
law If Wales is innocent, he Is certainly
very unfortunate Whether he stays at home
or goes abroad, scandal fastens upon him, and
gossip claims him as her own. His contI-
mental trip of last year furnished innumera-
BILE tales of waywardness, and now he has no
sooner escaped into the wilds of Egypt than
one of his titled subjects presents very bad
case against him in England. 1t is pity to
think how much good bringing up" has
been thrown away On that young man.

Attempt to Kill a Mayor,
The Norfolk Nrgtnian Of the Goth S

The Norfolk Nrgtntan of the Goth says:
Yesterday morning man wcs arraigned
before Mayor De Cordy on warrant for
assaultand battery. disappearance indicated
great excitement and nervous disorder. which
was now found to have been caused by excess
sive indulgence in ardent spirits, the man at
the time being on the verge of mania potu.-
The case was decided by his being required
to give security in the sum of 500 to keep
the peace. This he declined doing, and vas
told to take his seat. After sitting in silence
few minutes he suddenly jumped up, and
demanded to know why he was detained
The Mayor told him it was because he had
not given the required security. The maniac
for such he was temporarily, beyond doubt
-ezclaimed, "I'll aot give it; [ will go to
Jail first" repeating this three times, and
trembling with excitement and rage.
The Mayor turned to one of his officers and
told him to take the man over to the Jail,
thinking that in his condition confinement
would be the best thing for him. No sooner
had he given the order than the prisoner
approached the enclosed place occupied by the
Mayor, and, leaning over the rail, said: ''D-n
you, I'll kill you before L do go" suiting the
action to the word by drawing small single
barreled pistol, and placing it within eighteen
inches OF the Mayors head, pulled the trigger.
Providentially the pistol missed fire, or the
shot would undoubtedly haze proved instantly
fatal Constable Gully, who was standing near,
Immediately grapplcd with the man, and re,
ceived heavy blow, which did not, however,
cause him to release his hold, and through his
means the maniac was disarmed.
The Mayor took the affair very coo!ly, and
when the pistol was handed to him he stepped
out into the hall and tried it to see whether
it would fire. At the first fort it discharged,
and proved to have been loaded nearly to the
muzzIe with large size shot. Uuder the cir
cumstanccs, it may indeed be looked upon as
i miraculous escape.

A Paris correspondent of Boston paper
speaks enthusiastically of the great care taken
OF, and consideration shown for, children in
France lie declares it to be one of the
fashions of Paris to make special parties for
children, and the forms and ceremonies are
gone through that mark party for adults
A very marked illustration of this was seen
at the Chinese Embassy lately. The AM
bassador gave series of entertainments to the
nobility of France and the foreign Ambassa-
doris The series wound up with an entertain
ment in the same grand style which marked
the others, given by little Gertrude Burlin-
game to her associates, at which the American
children in Paris were invited. The rooms
were lighted in regal style. Servants were
in full costume, music was provided, and
handsomer dressed and happier room of
children were never seen in Paris. Romps
and games, American and Partisan, filed up
the hours.

: This story comes frorn Washington.

is very characteristic, and there are many who
are willing to vouch for its truth = -
A story which is told about town will show
how little the President really knows whom
he appoints or removes. 1t is said that Hon.
J. B. Iawley, Radical member from the
Fourth District of Connecticut, waited on the
President, some time ago, with the announce
ment that he chad come to talk a little about
the appointments in his district" The Pres
idcnt said he was very Wiling to accede to
the wishes of his friends, "but," said he,
.'Mr Uawley there is one request you must
not make do not want to remove JACK
Grinlshax, Collector Of your District. lie is
a good Republican and an honest man, and 1
will not have him disturbed" Then says
Mr.. Hawey, ''Wcll, Mr.. President, ! will
not asl, you to disturb Mr.. Grimshaw, for the
very good reason that you removed him from
office ten days since, and appointed his sue
cessor, who has been confirmed by the Sen
ate"

A Juvenile Romance.

Two children who work in one of the Chs
copee factories, Eli Goodro, fifteen years old,
and Louisa Stebbins, fourteen, fell downright
into love, and they determined, witian utter
contempt of consequences, to go and get mar.
ried, as grown folks do. Chicopee clerks and
clergy very sternly and sensibly refused to
grant marriage certificate or ceremony, where
upon the decided youth came to this city and
obtained both The Palmer Journalsays the
civil sanction was obtained from the City
Clerk, and the religious from the Rev. DIR.
Ide. At all events, they were successful in
their visit, and started for Thorndikc, there
to spend the honeymoon until Louisa's pa
rents should forgive them. They got as far
as Palmer on Wednesday evening, and spent
the night in tho depot-certainly a very ele-
cant bridal chamber But on Thursday morn-
ing the parental Stebbinses bore down upon
them ere the Thorndikc craft hove in sight,
and captured the outward bouna adventures.
They wanted to separate the bold babies, but
thoug gh Louisa, disheartened by the meagre
outset Of the voyage, was willing to haul off,
Eli remarked defantly that they had been
and gone and done it, and what did they
mean 10 do about it Z? Impressed by his view
Of the case, and by tho advice of Palmer
Justice to make the best Of it, the parents re-
Tented, aud conveyed the precious pair home,
triumphantly happy. But we shouldn't like

President Grant and Mrs. Lincoln.

When the fact was published that Presi-
dent Lincoln's wife had received expensive
dresses, valuable diamonds, and other costly
presents, every man and woman, realizing
that the gifts had been made as bribes, felt that
the Government was humiliated and shamed.
The gift bearers however, did not, so far as
the public know, directly approach M Linz
coin, and perhaps, if they had done SO, they
would have beea repelled and rcbuked. But
President Grant, although he has wife, lets
himself be directly approached, and has re-
cciced gifts of twenty times the value Of all
that Mrs. Lincoln ever got. We don't
know that the donors in Mrs. Lincolns case
were ever rewarded at the expense Of the peo
pie, but We do know that those in Grants
case have been, If, then, Mrs. Liucolu's cou-
duet humiliutcd and shamcd the Government,
what shall we say of Grants? Should not
the lady and the gentlemen be forever as
sociated in mems minds, bound together as
by golden clasps OF thought? The widow
Lincoln, with all the trouble she took, did not
succeed in selling her largesses, but wouldn't
there be brisk bidding if Grants were 10 pass

A Washington correspondent says that
the report Of triple alliance of European
powers to provide against American aggres-
sions is regarded by the Cabinet as stock
jobbing report. 1t is stated that General
Grant himself is rather pleased with the idea,
and it is very evident that he is in favor Of
war. Some of the members Of the Cabinet
are anxious to know what part the Southern
leaders would take in case Of rupture. We
suggest that they ask General LongstEeet.-,
Many "ex-rebep soldiers, we doubt not, in
case of war would be willing to follow him
into the custom-house. ~

ATTEMPT TO MURDEn.-On Thursday of
last week i German, formerly in the employ
of Mr. John Oehrl, went to the picture gallery
of Mr. James Mckericher, on Main street,
and had his picture taken. lie returned seve-
raj times, and finding Mr.. KcKericher alone
presented pistol at him, threatening to kill
him. Mr. Mex. sprang upon him and wrench
ing the weapon from his hands ordered him
to leave the gallery Immediately. The fellow
upon leaving, had the impudence to attempt
to have McKericher arrested, but was foiled.
Mr.. McKericher, however, had the German
arrested, and the officers having been ordered
to lodge him in Jail, he was bailed by Mr..
Henry Kinzel, upon conditions that he would
Immediately leave town. The German had
been imbibing freely Winchester NcwS.

SAD.-In Shaw, Illinois, few days since,
a farmer named Stanton went into the field to
plow, and was followed by his two little chill
dyen, boy and girl, who stopped to play in
the high prairie grass. Not being aware Of
this fact, Mr.. Stanton set fire to the grass,
and the children were soon envcloped in the
flames, the noise of the fire drowning their
shrieks The father went home to dinner,
and the children not returning, search was
made, when the body of the little girl was
found burned to a crisp The boy had man
aged to escape to the plowed ground, but was
dangerously burned. st

the lumber industriously, and particularly
emphatic was the last whack that she gave
