From the Reading Eisle
New YORK, April IL, ls73.-l, is great
wonder that the newspapers have not already
taken up the present subject OF street gossip
in the metropolis.
The subject of the 1ut,er is that young
Bennett, whose father established the
Herald. He has been flying around Europe
and Northern Africa for many months past,
ingraiisiing himself into the good graces
of all the leading crowned heads Of the Old
World.
Bennett has cherished a fondness for one
o! the daughters of Christian IN, Of Den
marx, and for the purpose OF properly paw
ing his way to the naughty old King. he has
shrewdly managed the European department,
Of the Heraid in order TO impress the great
influence OF his newspaper more firmly upon
the old maL's mind.
And to still further stamp the greatness
and power of his New York establishment,
he determined to make plain mystery that
had been = problem which for years the
whole world had failed to sOlse. The story
Of the Lost Livingstone and his discovery Is
yet fresh in the minds OF the community.
Benefits fame was then furnished to the
world, and not only King Christian but the
crowned heads of Continental Europe looked
upon young Bennett as potentate far more
powerful than any of their kind. The dis
cosery Of Livingstone was his master piece,
and broke down the last barrier between
himself and every court of Continental Eu-
rope.

milton as u Princess Of the royal Danish
family at the hands of the King, together
with the recent excitement of the marrisg.
of Ihe Marquis of LorDe in England, young
Bennett aching under the advice Of the prom
inent men of the Old World, withheld his
proposition. But few weeks, however. be-
lore Bennett's mother died he was introduced
10 King Christian and now it il 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 10 the second con 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 ere said to be the most beautiful
women in Europe, and o. Young Bennett

admirably we'll.
OF late their has been report Of a mad
scheme SIT shoat to the effect that Bennett

for the purpose OF some day becoming Gov
ernor or President o. the Southwestern
Peninsula- Indeed, Sickles and Bennett have
