London Letter New York Herald.

The Duke of Edinburgh made the acquI.int-
ancc of the Grand Duchess Marie some years
ago, when he was still lieutenant, and she
of fourteen. Sailors are famed for romantic
and deep-roOtcl attachments. and Prince
Alfrcds wOoing formet! no exception to the
general rule. Whenever he could slip away
either to Russia or to any watering place
abont Europe, where the Princess happened
to he, off he went, and it may he supposed
that the Emperor of l:r>>ia early decided
upon sanctiOnn- the matrh, for the mutual
affection Of the Young lovers was known in
court circles long before it was officially an
nounccd. The Grand Duchess speaks Eng
lish tlucntly, ana is saii to bc fond of Eng
lish novels, especially Dickens and Miss
Braddon's. She will bring lcr husband
dowry of ZOO, 900 roublcs down and E2O,-
600 year, which will make the Duke one of
the richest uncrowncd princes in Europe.
AS is we'll known the Duke of Edinburgh is
heir to his uncle, the Duke of SAKE Coburg
Gotha, and will one day rule over that small
but snug principality, should it not be swal-
lowed up by Prince Bismarck. He is sure to
make good prince and popular one if his
after life corresponds to the first part of his
career. He has never made an enemy with
the exception of the Fenah O'DOnncl, who
shot at him in Sydney five years ago, pre-
tcXting some slight he had received from one
of the Dukes cquerries. 1t may be supposed
however, though they hanged him for this
offence, O'Donnel was a lunatic, else he
would have known that a princes courticrs
are not people to whose whims men of sense
should pay any attention.

saloons to pray and sing. The first one they
called at shut the door and declined to allow
them to enter, so they held service on the
sidewalk, attracting an immense crowd, who
followed them to the next saloon, where the
proprietor bade them welcome and gave q
respectful hearing to their services, while the
bar-kccper was kept busy furnishing beer to
the thirsty crowd which had assembled. The
proprietor offered to quit the business if they
would buy him out, which it is understood
they agreed to do. At tho next saloon they
were also courtcously received, and the pro-
prictor offered to quit if they would purchase
his stock, but this they were not ready to do.
They began their services, however, but the
number Of spectators was hy this time so
large that the crusaders were driven to the
sidewalk. They finally moved back to the
church, where they arranged to renew the
on Monday. The movement has
created great excitement among all classes of
citizens, and the effect on the liquor traffic in
this city is yet TO lie told.

Sex in Edncation.

At the recent Educational Congress in
Detroit, DIR. Clarke, author of the IA
nous book on this subject, delivered an
address, in which he reiterated his we'll
known views. His argument was that
from their constitutional peculiarities
girls cannot safely be pushed at school
as rapidly as can boys, and that any
system of education which does not rec
ognize this truth is false and vicious
DIR. Clarke is inclined to oppose the CO.
education of the sexes, ut least in the
lower schools.
DIR. Clarke was followed by Professor
Orton, of Nassar College, who held that
young ladies were capable of acquiring
a very high education, but he did not
believe in cO-education, not from any
fear of improprieties, but because girls
are naturally so ambitious that they are
always in danger of overworking them
selves, and the competition with young
men is by far too keen an incentive to
them. So far from needing any incen-
tive, Professor Orton thought that most
young ladies required TO be held back in
their studies.
In the third address, delivered by Pro-
fessor Hosmer, of the University of Mis-
souri,, was set forth strong argument
IN faNOr OF c0-educatlOn, yet without
undue expectations of advantage. The
Professor took the ground that to deny
higher education to women is gross in
justice, and that, looking at the question
financially, practically, in this day and
generation, such education could only
be secured by co-education. He said
at is my belief that TO deny women
university culture is unjust-is indeed
disastrous; that for economical reasons
the highest education makes necessary
co-education. The co-education of the
sexes in universities is possible, even tc
some extent desirable on account OF q
certain good influence the sexes may
exert upon each other. That co-educa.
/ tion is a matter of no difficulty we are
not to believe, much less that it is TO bC
accepted as the power which is to pro.
duce straightway a millennium of pur.
| ity and good order. What the circum
stances of American life seem to thrust
upon us is not well to reject utterly; il
Is possible, on the other hand, to EN-,
brace the stranger with n hospitality
and good nature quite too cordial."-
