A Romantic Story,

pOndent, that the newspapers nave not already taken up the present subject of street gossip in the metropolis.
 The subject of this flutter is young Bennett, whose father established the Herald. He has been flying around Europe and Northern Africa for the months past, ingratiating himself into the good graces of all the leading crowned heads of the Old World.
 Bennett has cherished a fondness for one of the daughters of Christian TX. of Denmark, and for the purpose of properly paving his way to the naughty old King, he has shrewdly managed the European department of the Herald in order to impress the great influence of his newspaper more firmly upon the old mans mind.
 And to still further stamp the great ness and powe of his New York estab- lishment, he determined to make plain mystery that had been a problem which for years the whole world had failed to solve. The story of the lost Livingstone and his discovery is yet fresh in the minds of the community. Bennett's fame was then fourished to the world, and not only King Christian but the crowned heads of Continetal Europe looked upon young Bennett as potentate far more powerful than any of their kind. The discovery of Liv ingstone was his masterpiece, and broke down the last barrier between himself and every court of Continental Europe. Bennett's infatuation for the young princess is said to be intense, he having first met her in Berlin four years ago. Since then he has been spending much of his time in Europe, always within hearing distance of the throne of Den mark. Why Bennett has been acting so circumspectlyi this: King Christian is @ naughty old sovereign, and ever since the days when the Princess Dow ager of Schleswig- g-Holstein-Noes, the daughter of Boston merchant named Ray, failed to obtain recognition as a Princess of the royal Danish family at the hands of the King, together with the recent excitement in the Danish Court upon hearing the news of the marriage of the Marquis of Lorne in England, young Bennett, acting under the advice of the most prominent men of the Old World, withheld his proposi- tion. But 0 few weeks, however, be- fore Bennett's mother died, he was in troduced to King Christian, and now it is stated upon the best authority that the marriage has been agreed upon.
 This Danish family is destined soon to be one of the most powerful in the world. The present King of Greece is the second son of King Christian, and his two elder daughters are married to the heirs apparent of Russia and Great Britain. The female members of the family are said to be the most beautiful women in Europe, and as young Ben nett's taste ran in that groove, he has succeeded admirably well.
 Of late there has been report of @ mad scheme set afoat to the effect that Bennett was about making large pur- chases in Spain, for the purpose of some day becoming Governor or President of the Southwestern Peninsula. Indeed, Sickles and Bennett have been charged upon various occasions as being direct ly concerned in the abdication of Amadeus, they having offered sufficient inducements for his retiring from the throne.
 It is stated that Bennett induced the Princess Dowager of Schleswig-H stein (she having married the cousin of tho King) to leave the Danish Kingdom in order to pacify the court, and thus make the situation sufficiently calm for his own cntree. This, it is said, Ben nett did after the stern old King had refused to acknowledge the American woman as princess of his court
 Count Rantzow, who is one of the greatest favorites of Christian in the kingdom, is said to have lent the most efficient aid to bring about young Ben nett's most cherished wishes. This Count is the same parsonage who was, and is to-day, so deeply in love with a Miss Laboiteux, @ charming young American girl, who is companion of the princess dowager above alluded to. The young lady tilted the Count some time ago, and as she is said to be q relative of MT. Connery, the present managing editor of the Herald, Ben nett held sufficient influence to satis, factorily arrange matters between the lady and Count Rantzow, and thus se- cure the latter's valuable services in his (Bennett's) own behalf.
 In spite of all difficulties MT. Bennett is reported as being determined tc bring about an early celebration of the marriage. Jennings of the Times is said to be conversant with the facts and while Bennett is for the time being withdrawn from public affairs, the former will visit Europe to push on the | o,ro
