A Royal Filtration.

The follt wing from the Inter Oc-
can 10 good enough to print
A little bit of royal romance is heralded
across the sea. From all the interesting par
ticalars narrated it would seen 10 partake
less Of the character Of court courtship than
of an honest everyday s'fye O'Clock in the
morning" affair of the heart. The queen OF
England has son Alfred-by the grace Of
God Duke of Edinburg and the autocrat OF
all the Russians hasa daughter, the Grand
Duchess Marie, Sand thereby hangs a tale. =
Italy, the land Of song, the ''garden of the
world" has been the scene of this pretty
little romance, and the hearts Of the maidens
OF England and the beax of the frozen ca pital
are in iutter of excitement over the coming
event. Alfred was staying at the Tasso Ho-
tel, and his particular weakness at the Impe.
rial Villa. What more natural than that thew
should meet, what more beautiful than that
they should sigh, what more practic al than
that the fair Marie should whisper in ac-
cents as sweet as Charlotte Russe-that be-
ing the most appropriate sweet thing which
occurs TO US just at the present--to ask papa.
The parent has been asked, and Alfred is as
happy as an honest, open-hearted sailor can
be. The miserable dowry of the bride will
be 100000 year, besides ST. 100000 to fall
BACK npon. Il is very little TO begin on, but
then they are young, and Alfred may get pro-
motion some day. There are two classes OF
young ladies in high life as well as in low
the amiable and the pretty. This fair fancee
belongs TO the former classification. Alfred
is the fayorite among the royal family in
England. He is said TO be a fine, manly fell
low, and frst-rate officer and we are sure
will be greater credit TO the country than
his easy-osY brother, the Prince of Wales.

Is There q Liberal Party organiza-
ton?

The expressions of the press, both
Democratic aud Republican, are That
in many Of the States the Liberal
party has passed in its checks, and
in others it is preparing for burial.
The Milwi ukee Netos, the official or
gan Of the Wisconsin Democracy,
"Liberal Republican" and Demo
cratic Republican" parties, insists
with the New York World that the
old Democratic party is not dead,
and that it is "easier to elect an able
"irm, honest, patriotic Democrat to
"the first Office in the s. ate or nation,
ethan it Is to elect a Republican
'come-outer' or 'reformer.' This
is hard on the prospects OF the libere
ais. The Albany Evening Journal
says of their condition in New York:
$50 far as the Characterization of the Lib
eraI Committee signifies that men who made
mistake last year are disposed to renounce
It and act with the Republican party, we well
come it, There are other indications of the
same kind. Representatives in the Legisla-
ture and elsewhere who joined the Liberal
movement have since co-Operated with the
Republicans. In fact, there is no longer any
Liberal organization or any Liberal party be-
hind it. 1t has mostly dissolved into the Re-
publican ranks"
What is true in New York is also
true in Wisconsin. The Liberal:
have generally found their way back
into the old fold, aud will not prob,
ably be recognized any longer by
the Democrats.

risk veto on special bill and tack
cd the salary cluase on the general
