THE PRINCESS LOUISE.
Her Approaching Marriage with the Marquis

correspondent Of the New York EUening
Post writes from London as follows
The probability of marriage between the
MARQUIS of Lorne and the Princess Louise has
for some time been talked about in England. A
feeling has widely prevailed that as eligible
Protestant princes are hard to find, and every
year has made the failure o. the male line of the
royal family less likely an alliance with the
representative of one of the great historic
families of the peerege would be very fit and
proper. The royal marriage act prohibiting
such alliances, except with the consent of the
sovereign was passed in the reign OF George the
Third, and had its origin in the very undesirable
connection formed by that monarchs brothers,
and the chickering's and jealousies which resulted
from them.
TIE Princess Louise in selecting a husband
among her mothers subjects, could scarcely
have made q choice less likely to cause jealousy
than in fixing upon Lord Lorne. He belongs to
a famous historic house; he is personally de-
serving and perfectly unassuming; his maternal
grandmother the late Duchess of Sutherland,
was the Queens dearest friend, and her COM
panion and consoler in the darkest hour of her
deep bereavement; and his mother has also en-
joyed large share OF her sovereign's affection.
Although in point of rank and reputation
second to none in the British peerage, the house
of Argyll is in respect of wealth by no means in
so advantageous n position, and the Princess s
choice proves how slight an importance she and
her mother attach to money as means of hap
piness. John, Duke of Argyll, created also
Duke of Greenwich in England who plays so
prominent and picturesque part in the Heart
of Midlothian" had no son, and at his death a
large slice of his fortune was divided among his
daughters. The eldest married the heir of the
then Duke of Buccleuch, carrying considerable
wealth into that family. This circumstance,
together with the reckless extravaganza of sub
sequent holders of the title, has tended consi-
derably to reduce the once princely revenues of
the Dukes of Argyll However, the present
peer is so prudent and sensible a man, and real
estate in Scotland increases so steadily in value,
that probably another twenty years will see his
vast property in a great degreefree from incum-
braDces and adequate to support the dignity OF
the new alliance.
The dowry of the Princess Royal vas $500, 900,
and an annuity of 100000; that of Princess
Louise of Hesse $l50,000, ndS$30, 900 annTity
Probably that of the Princess Louise will be
fixed at a sum not exceeding that of the usual
settlement made on the wife of a wealthy Eng
lish nobleman, $25, 600 year.
Lord Lornes only married sister is the wife
of Earl Percy, eldest son of the Duke Of North
cumberland.

AMERICAN GIRAFFES.
A New Arrival on this Contioent-Interestins
NaturuIlsIs.


A gentleman who came down from Fort
Buford, says the Sioux City Daily Times, gives
us the following information regarding a spe-
cies of animal hitherto unknown on this con-
tinent:-
''Sir John E. Packenham, an officer in the
English army, who had been spending the last
wear in her Majestys northern provinces, ar
rived at Fort Buford with an animal of rare
beauty, and never before caught on this conti
nent, nor has it been known till late years that
this species existed in this country. 1t is of the
same family as the giraffe, or cameleopard, of
Africa, and is known to naturalists as the
Tygomelia. They are known to inhabt the
high table lands of Cashmere and Hindoo
Rosh, but are more frequently seen on the
high peaks of lthe Himalaya Mountains.
The animal was taken when quite
young, and is thoroughly domesticated, and
follows its keeper like dog. 1t is only four
months old, and ordinarily stands about five
feet high but is capable of raising its head two
feet, which makes the animal seven feet when
standing erect. 1t is of q dark brown or mouse
color, large projecting eyes, with slight indica-
tions of horns growing out. This wonderful
animal was caught north of Lake Athabasca,
on the waters of MackenZie's river. 1t has
a craw similar to the pelican, by which
means it can carry subsistence for seve-
raj days, 1t was very fleet, being able
to outfoot the fastest horse in the country.
The black dapper spots on the rich brown
color make it one of the most beautiful animals
in existence, more beautiful than the leopard of
the Chinese jungle. Sir John did not consider
it safe to transport his pet by water down the
Mississippi River, fearing the uncertain naviga-
tion and the great change of climate from the
Mauitabo to The sunny South lie has, there
fore, wisely concluded TO go by way OF St Paul,
Minn. The commander at Fort Buford furnishes
him an escort for the trip. He will then proceed
through Canada to Montreal, where he will ship
his charge to England"

A BRUISERS WIFE.


Mrs. CobnrD Shot by Her fuEiitstic HusDanns
About O'clock this morning, as Officer
Quinn, of the Fifteenth precinct, was patrolling
his post on Broadway, near Eighth street, he
was appro ached by a woman in a half.nude
state, who asked to be taken to the Eighth Ward
Station House. She said her name was Mrs.
Coburn, and that her husband, Joe Coburn, the
prize-fghter had just shot her through the
Tioht Shoulder at their rooms in the New
York Hotel. Quinn took the woman to
the Fifteenth Precinct Station House,
wounds officer Quinn, with two other
policemen, went to the New York Hotel, corner
of Eighth street and Broadway, aud arrested
CobuTn, who was asleep in bed. He was subse-
quently arTaigned at Jefferson Market, but his
wife failed to make any charge. Judge Fowler
discharged the prisoner. Coburn's account OF
the affair is that he came home drunk, and
while trying to take off his clothes, preparatory
to going to bed his pistol accidentally went Off
the ball striking his wife in the right shoulder,
as above stated. Mrs Coburn, when taken to
the station house, said that her husband had
fired at her three times. This is probably the
truth, as Coburn was in beastly state of intox-
ication, and had not recovered from the effects

THE ELECTION.
The Result In New YOrk-GenerRl Gains and


Losses.
Governor Hoffman goes out of this city with
a majority OF ~, ,037, u vote of 100, 1885, with a
registration of 142 666. Two years ago his ma
iority was 6S, $50. Mayor Halls majority over
Ledwith falls over $4,000 short of Governor
Hoffmans, amounting to only %, 81. The De-
mocratic majority in the State cannot yet be
given with accuracy, but it is certainly not less
than 10000, and may turn out considerably
more.
According to the best information yet attain
able, the Assembly stands 66 Republicans to 62
Democrats; but as several districts are some
what in doubt, the actual returns may vary the
result, and possibly even change the majority.
We have lost three members of Congress in
New York, in the Fifteenth, Eighteenth, and
Thrtieth districts; we have probably lost three
members in Illinois, in the Third, Fifth, and
Eighth districts; one in Wisconsin, one in
Michigan, several in Missouri, and per-
hals one in Alabama; and. have gained
one in New Jersey, one in Minnesota,
one or two in Kentucky, and three possibly
four Louisiana. The Republicans will have
from so to 60 majority in the new House of
Representatives. We deplore losses but shall
affect no regret that, coupled with the evil thus
wrought, comes the corresponding benefit of a
majority not so large as to breed discussions or
stimulate reckless action.-N I. Tribune ed.

THE CABLE.

Full particulars on this subject will be
found in our Colonial Notes nnder the
head of Jamaica. We further add the
following extract Of a letter from Sir
Charles Bright at st. Jago de Cuba re-
ceived by the British Consul at this port:
C" have completed the line between
"HaVana and this place, and leave, laying
"the Gable, for Jamaica, in a day or two,
CATER getting the Station here fully estab-
"Iished. The shore end of the Jamaica
cline is already laid. I can hard
"ly fix a time when the "Titian'' will be
"~discharged. [ have two ships to dis
"charge at Kingston, and the Panama
"cable to lay before starting for St. Tho
mas"
BY this it will be seen that we have to
wait yet a while before we get the Gable,
as it has to he laid from Jamaica to the
Isthmus before it comes in this direction.

COLONIAL NOTES.

"All the world and" that venerable
old lady sits Mother" seem to be greatly
excited on account of the great European
War. In glancing over our Colonial Ex-
changes We find the same feeling, more or
less intensified, in all the Colonies in this
quarter of the globe.
Now 1t is natural that the acme of the
excitement should be reached in the
French Islands, for they belong TO one of
the cOmbatants and may be said to be
actually at war but it would appear that
the English Colonies are indeed rather
remotely concerned, and yet they display
an ~unaccountable amount of excitement
on the occasion.
Commencing with the French Islands,
and thereby giving them the place of
honor as is their due, we find that great
enthusiasm was produced by the receipt
of the Captain Generals Telegram of Nth
ultimO, which announced the great French
victory, and the 40, 900 Germans horS de
combat, to which a correspondent of the
Antilles, said to be in zone of the largest
houses in ST. Thomas" adds 10000 pri-
soners. In parentheses here we would
remark that these correspondents in st.
Thomas, especially those to the Herald,
give at times some reports that wear an
absurdly ludicrous air when they reach us
as they appear reproduced in the columns
of that paper. But, to return to our NUT
tons, or, rather, to our Notes, we continue
to remark that the Captain Generals Te-
legram created intense excitement at
MARTINIQUE
Where the people were thrown in to
transports of joy, from the Governor of
the colony who embraced the Commander
of the TaHSman who was the bearer of
the good news, and generously promised
to inform the Emperor of. the patriotic
feelings of the people of Fort de France
from His ExcelIency down to the lowest
of those good people. But a change

THE WAR !!

slant, the summing up of which may
shortly be stated thus that the Crown
Prince had changed his course, and instead
Of marching direct on Paris had gone in a
North westerly direction and had encounter
ed and defeated Mcmahon at Sedan, near
the Belgian frontier, and he was reported
to have surrendered with 80, 900 men; fur
Their that Bazaine on hearing this had also
surrendered with 10000 men, but another
Telegram stated that BaZaine's surrender
was not confirmed. 1t was also stalled
that the Emperor and the Prince Tmperi-
al had both been captured, and the Re-
public proclaimed at Paris, with Trochu
as Dictator, also that the city was prepar-
ing for a siege. 1t is TO be observed that
all the kilograms that contain this news
are from either German or English
sources, and during the course of this
war the conviction has been forced upon
us that the word Telegram is fast becom-
ing synonymous with what SchoOlboys
call q "Cram." Although they may in
the main indicate the course of events,
yet they cannot be relied upon for details,
especially in the matter of figures, their
chief characteristic being inflated exag-
geratiOn.
BY the arrival last night of the PajarO
del OceanO we have further kilograms
which we reproduce herewith.
We just notice in an extract from the
Djario of st. Jago de Cuba that a respect
able Commercial house in that city had
received a Telegram from Havana dated
5th instant which says 1.-THE capture
of Napoleon is confirmed in Berlin. The
French General de Failly was shot by
MacMahon near Nancy () on suspicion of
t~reachery. 1t is not confirmed that Mac
Mshon has fallen with 80, 700 men,
Here We have both confirmation and
possible contradiction.
The latest kilograms which we have
are dated 9th infant as follows:-
"London.-The excitement in Paris is
intense.-A government has been formed
under the Presidency of Gambeta.-The
employees have been appointed without
opposition. The people appear satisfied.
Much violence employed against all that
appertains to the Empire.-Trochu has
been appointed Minister of War in place
of Palikao.-It is believed that the En-
press is in safety.-Spain is tranquil.
Paris-Peace negotiations are in pro-
gress, bat the Prussians continue 10 march
on Paris.
Madrid.-The Cortes will meet on
15th.-Regent in Madrid.-Frenoh rentes
S .96.-No violence in Paris"
Such as they are we submit the Tele-
grams to our readers, referring them to
those in our Mondays Extra, and leave
them to JUDGE for themselves.
