The Duke of Edinburgh.

The London correspondent of the
New York World says, in reference to
the approaching marriage of the Duke
Edinburgh to the daughter of the Gar
"The Duke of Edinburgh is, of all the
royal princes, the one least esteemed
and the one most disliked. You will
hear, in clubs and society, most disa-
greeable and ludicrous stories about
him. Many of these turn upon the
economical passion of this young gen.
tleman, from his boyhood up. He turned
many an honest penny by selling photo
graphs of his royal mother, upon which
he had persuaded her to write her name,
to his shipmates and others, at ten shil-
lings and sixpence each. The money
thus received, with other sums supplied
to him by his loving parent, he often
loaned out at usurious interest to his
young companions, taking precious good
care to exact the principal and interest
at the maturity of the debt The thrifty
habits thus acquired have not been laid
aside in later years, and to-day this
prince of the blood and future son-in-
law of the Gar is actually in partner
ship wife well-known money-lender of
gust such facts as these, which are
widelyiknown, inspire in the breasts of
the people, who are now represented as
thanking heaven on their Bonded
knees, with grateful hearts, for the hap
piness of our noble sailor prince" Nor
is this the worst of it, The Prince has
been a debauchee, although his Liaisons
are said not to be of more expensive
kind, and it has been with the utmost
kifficulty that the aversion of the EN-
press of Russia and her daughter to
this match has been overcome. One of
his latest amours has been with noto-
rious actress of opera bouffe, a woman
whose ill-fame is world wide, and who
long since lost whatever personal
charms she may once have possessed.
The story of this affair is too disgust
ing to repeat"

A "LADY. Long ago, in England,
when the atfiuent lived all the year round
at their mansions in the country, the
lady of the manor distributed to her
poor neighbors, with her own hands,
once week, or oftener, certain guam
tity of bread, and she was called by them
"Leff-day," that is, in the Saxon, the
bread-giver. These two words were in
time corrupted, and the meaning is now
as little known as the practice which
gave rise to it; yet it is from that hos
pitable custom that, to this day, the la
dies of that kingdom alone serve the
meat at their own tables.

The Democracy of Ohio in convention at
Columbus last week, nominated full ticket

For Govcrnor-wm Allen, of Ross.

Schenck, of Mercer.
Ben Butler has written an elaborate and
aggressive defense of the salary bill. He
insists that the law was unjust, not because
the salaries we're raised but because they we're
not raised high enough, and that President
Grant ought to receive s275,OOO year to
place him on an equality with Washington.

"Merccr's Bottom" is the Garden of I'D

Among our largest and most extensive
farmers and stock raisers, are Messrs. j

Be0le, Geo. Moore, Ed i Neale, W. ?
L. Nealo and Calvin NJ. Moore These
men have all just harvested immense wheat
crops, which are among the best eVeI
raised on this great Bottom. Mr.. Ei. l.
Neale had $50 acres of wheat, which wher
thrnshed, yielded, I am told, an average o.
80 bushels to the acre,
The corn never looked more promising
than just at this time.
The finest house in Tie county is that Of
George Moore, Esq, which is of brick
and situated on hill which stands about
fifty feet above the river road On the
top Of the house is an observatory, which
gives one commanding view for miles
up and down the river. At this time
Mr.. Moore is absent at one Of the Virgin

be the desire of everyone to select their
