The Duke Of Edinburgh.

! The London correspondent of the
New York World. in reference to the
approaching marriage of the Duke of
Edinburgh and the daughter of the Gar,
says: 1.-THE Duke of Edinburgh is,
of all the royal princes, the one least
esteemed and the Que most disliked.
You will hear, in clubs and in society,
most disgraceful and ludiorous stories
about him. Many of these turn upon
the economical passion of this young
gentleman from bis boyhood up. He
turned many an honest penny by SELL
ing photographs of his royal mother,
upon which he had persuaded her to
write her name, to his shipmates and
others, at ten. shillings and sixpence
each. The money thus received, with
other sums supplied to him by his low
ing parent, he often loaned out at
nsurlous interest to his young COM
panions, taking precious good care to
exact principal and interest at the ma
turity of the debt. The thrift habits
thus acquired have not been laid aside
in later years, and to-day this
prince of of the blood and future
sOn-in-law of the car, is actually in
partnership with well-known money
lender of London. You can imagine
what disgust such facts as these, which
are widely known, inspire in the breasts
of the people who are now Represented
as thanking heaven on their Bonded
nees, with g rateful hearts, for the
happiness of our noble sailor prince.
Nor is this the worst Of it. The prince
has been debauche. although his
I0isoas are said not to have been of q
more expensive kind, and it has been
with the utmost difficulty that the
aversion of the Empress of Russia and
her daughter to this match has been
overcome. One of his latest amours
has been with a notorious actress of
opera bouffe, woman whose ill-fame
is world wide, and who long since lost
whatever personal charms she NAV
once have possessed. The story of this
affair is too disgusting to repeat.
Grants habits in respect to drink and
theft are bad enough, but Great Britain
is far more dishonored in her royal
family."

Danbury Wittic,sms.

TIE work of improvement goes
briskly forward. Another post has
been set in the park fence.
A MAN who came to Danbury eight
years ago, worth nothing, Is now the
owner of three dogs.
AT one time, Saturday, there were
five baldheaded men in one of our dry
goods stores, looking vacantly about,
and each one thoughtfully rubbing his
head with finger that had thread
tied about it.
WHAT shall I give my boy to
make him honored and respected 81
writes an affectionate father. Educa-
ton and moral precepts. were once re-
quired to accomplish this purpose,
but diamond pin now covers the
ground.
A LADY went to one of our dry goods
stores, on Monday, and bought five
cents worth of thread. Then she
picked up q palm leaf, and comment
ing on the weather, and getting her
thread, walked off with both. The
merchant closed his store as early as
possible that evening, and taking his
aching head in his hands, sat down to
analyze the true value OF that transac-
ton.
A SLAwsON woman unOstentatiously
points to the fact that the funeral Of
her late husband cost but $82, which is
SIS less than the neighbors thought
she could do, and yet there is not one
of them who can say that anything
was spared to make the occasion sue
cess, and one long to be remembered
by all who participated.
AN aged couple of Wooster street are
very fond of checkers, and play quite
frequently. When be beats at the
game, she loses. her temper, and de-
clares that she will not play again. It
vexes him to have her act so, but he
controls the irritation, and talks to her
about it. He tells her how wrong it is
for people at their age in life to he dis.
turbed by such trifes, and shows her
so clearly the folly of such a course
that she becomes ashamed of her weak
ness, and returns to tho game and
plays it so well that she beats him.
Then he throws the checkers in one
direction and kicks the board in an
other, and says he will never play with
anybody who cheats so alfiredly, and
stalks modify to bed, aud leaves her
to pick up the things.
THERE is a man on Franklin street,
who has been engaged in the past two
months in q mighty effort to kill cat.
In that time that unfortunate animal
has explored the bottom Ct every sheet
and stream of water within six miles of
Danbury, has had an unintentional
taste of the several new varieties of
powder, and has got 80 it can tell in
the dark, without looking around, the
difference between half brick and a
whole one. The man himself hasn't
got q whole piece OF clothing in his
wardrobe, and has almost entirely lost
the use of one leg from rheumatism,
contracted while drowning the cat, aud
has more scratches on him than the
of four wives. His aged
father says he will take chair out in
the yard on pleasant afternoon, and
will sit there for two hours at time,
and look at that cat and swear. !:

up in the wagon to ascertain the cause,
and 10 coffin lay at the side of the
road. The moonlight shone on the sill

ENGLAND'S BLACK DIAMONDS.

There is serious apprehensions of a
coal famine in England. This cry was
raised several years ago, but a learned
commission Investigated the subject, and
decided that the coal supply was abund-
ant for nearly thousand years. The
rapid increase in the price of coal du-
ring the last year has renewed the fears
of famine. There may be coal enough
but every year it costs more and more
to produce it. AS the shafts 60 down
toward the earth's center the cost of
mining rapidly increases. The question
now is not so much in regard to the sup
ply under the soil, as 1t is in regard to
the cost of bringing it to the surface
England not only needs coal, but it needs
cheap coal. It's manufacturers are pro-
jected on such SCALE. constantly in
creasing that it cannot afford to greatly
increase the cost of production. Its
consumption of coal is enormous, and its
demand in the future must exceed the
supply. The consumption of coal in
England is now estimated at about 49,
OOO,0OO tons year, and the present
price is double what it was a year and
half ago. The natural expansion of
English manufactures and commerce
would demand twice as much coal in ten
years as is now used. But the increas-
ed price will check this expansion, and
coal at two prices will be coal famine
in England. If we were now in con-
dition to take advantage of our immense
coal fields within easy reach of tide va
ter, we could recover from England what
she has made at our expense during and
since the war. But our hands are tied,
and we cannot stretch them forth to
grasp the fortune that would be within
our reach if we were Free Cheap coal
and iron are the foundations of wealth.

ilization. We have both, but high tax

AN INCIDENT BY MOONLIGHT.

Several nights ago, a young gentleman
of San Francisco, CAL, invited lady to
accompany him on moonlight ride. At
the appointed time the wagon was at the
door, and together they started for the
Cliff House. During the ride the con-
versation turned on things supernatural,
and the Donovan ghost was discussed
at length. The gentleman professed to
be free altogether from that dread of the
mysterious unknown which defers some
people from entering graveyards after
nightfall. or sitting alone with the dead.
He declared that he would even be will
ling to have tete-d-tete interview with
any ghostly visitant who might choose
to make him a call in the still hours of
night After couple of hours spent
pleasantly at the Cliff, the horses heads
were turned homeward The road was
deserted, the pleasure seekers had all
returned, and as they bowled rapidly
over the smooth road. still they convers-

A HAPPY HOME.

The first year of married life is a most
important era in the history of man and
wife. Generally, as it is spent, SO is al
most all subsequent existence. The wife
and husband then assimilate their views
and desires, or else conjuring up their
dislikes. they add fuel to the prejudice
and animosities forever afterward. 81
have somewhere read" says Rev. Mr.
Wise, in his Bridal Greeting, ''of BRIDE
groom who gloried in his eccentricities
He requested the bride to accompany
him into the garden a day or two after
their wedding. He then threw a line
over the roof of the cottage. Giving his
wife one end of it be retreated to the
other side, and exclaimed:
"Pull the line
She pulled it, at his request, as far as
she could. He cried:
Pull it over"
Call L, she repIIeu.
"But pull with all your might" he
shouted.
But vain were all the efforts of the
bride to pull over the line, so long as
her husband held on to the opposite end.
But when he came round and they both
pulled at one end, it came over with
great ease.
There" said he, as the line fell from
the roof, '.you see how hard and inef-
fectual was our labor when we both pull
ed in opposition to each other; but how
easy and pleasant it was when we both
pulled together. 1t will be SO with us,
my dear, through life If we oppose
each other, it will be hard work if we
act together it will be pleasant to live.
Let us always pull together" :"
In this illustration, homely as it may
be, there is sound philosophy. Husband
and wife must mutually bear and con-
cede if they wish to make home retreat
of bliss. One alone cannot make home
happy. There must be unison of action,
sweetness of spirit, and great forbearance
and love in both husband and wife, to
secure the great end Of happiness in the
domestic circle.

into morning mist that turned to days
long tears, only because of this. A fa-
ther and a son were set foot with the
fiery breath of anger that would never
cool again between them, only because
of this; and husband and his young
wife, each straining at the hated leash,

en- bondage of God blessed love, sat
