MARQUIS WHO WANTS A SON.
Not long ago Galt0,sGnts Messenger, the Oldest
English newspaper IN Continental Europe con-
tanned an advertisement which will quote from
memory. Igiye it In the words as nearly as re.

The foregoing was in reality nothing more nor less
than marriage advertisement, means whereby
1t intended to ensnare an heress or rich widow
possessed Of English s0vereigns or American eagles,
who could be dazzled by the prospects of marrying
ttle As an Offset for the marriage portion of the
bride the Marquis would probably bring with him
respectable budget of unpaid bills. Invariably that
is all they possess. I say invariably. There are
few. but, alas only few honorable exceptions to
the rule. 1l ono foaa H.55,i ~. la,a
THE AMERICAN COLONY IN SWITZERLAND. ss,
It is amongst the prerogatves of HERALD cor
respondents holding q rowing commission to wit

travels. Switzerland thrives during the Summer
months on American travel. The number of

pilgrims known as "CoOks tourlsts.n The
latter are plentiful, but then they connne them
selves to certain routes and localities. Here and
there asprinkling of Germans can be seen, and
now and then we meet with o stray French or
Italian party But, as a rule, American travellers
are filing the large hotels and American money
defrays the display of gas In the shop windows aud
the fireworks on the lakes. Americans, as the
phrase goes, sont c0nSuS dor. AS general
practice American families travel over the
Continent OF Europe under the guidance OF
experienced cOurters. 1t saves world OF trouble
and annoyance. Undoubtedly that Is the easiest
and most comfortable mode OF travel, provided you
have been fortunate in the choice of your man. II

AN ITALIAN PRINCE LOOKING FOR YANKEE PRN-
ff CESS. ff8.ie t.tU lr
l remember an Italian Prince, who was ever
anxious to make the acquaintance OF Americans
and who most humanely and in the most disinter
ested manner pro1ered his services whenever he
met an American lady her children suffering per-
chance from dyspepsia or any other ailment
brought on by the injudcious use Of iced water.
The Prince, descendant of noble
Bolognese family, laid claim to 1Escula-
plan powers; he was pronounced the most
disinterested fascinating young man. He never
accepted fee; the very mention of money would
darken his looks, but he manfully withstood q COM
plete shower Of diamond rings and even OF heavy
chronOmeter, sent to him by fair hands In COM
pensation for pronered advice and "sOOthing
syrups." 1t is one OF the most pleasing things to
be waited on by these men, the only trouble
being that 1t IS generally too late when you find
out who your Prince is. But then they are
agreeable. They know every capital of Europe;
they can introduce the young men to q club they
furnish you with letters to their friends, matter
in what direction lies your travels. They coax,
fawn and atter you that 1t is difficult to get along
without them. Your ladies don't want any other
box at the opera than that occupied by q certain
Ambassador; the Prince pr0cures 1t for you and the
whole family is delighted. Il,
A POLISH COUNT LOOKING FOR YANKEE COUNTESS.
At another day you will meet with Polish
Count, who takes up similar position. He is
more of q linguist, and can make himself more
useful In general way. You may take 1t for
granted that he once held commission In the
Prussian or Austrian army, but that he has left
the service by reason of having become
the victim OF misplaced confidence In con.
nectiOn with the management OF some
imaginary property. Deprecated currency
has reduced his income, he mourns over
the misfortunes which befell his country, and who
would not sympathize with Poland and her misfor-
tuness Our Count brings you to the best tailor.
He himself dresses elegantly; beard and mus
tache are matchless in tint. He is known to and
by everybody ana therefore eagerly sought after
by young Americans, to whom he Is most agree
able companion and who, by way of compensation,
Introduce him at once to their sisters and cousins
at home.
MARRIAGE ADVENTURES AT THE rUILERrEs.
Twill give another picture. How ashamed did
feel Of my equals, when at OF the Tuilerles balls,
under the late Empire, two French adventurers
stood right IN front OF me- nqulring OF each other
as to certain lady in blue who was sitting close
by 'Why," said the one to whom the
question was put, 'don't you know That's the
American" "Oahi" drawled out the other; II
will not say anything more" "what pity
ir is," rejoined his friend, "that she is not
eligible Ilearn that the father is not so rich as
we had imagined but then So-and-so tells me that
her cousin from Chicago, the little red-haired
damsel who usually accompanies our beauty,
has oceans Of money in her own
right" "Wel," was the reply, '1et us
try Chicago. Red hair is fashionable
article just now, and I need NJ: feel
ashamed to show myself in the BoIs riding in hef
fathers carriage" I shadowed these WORTHLESS
