Troubles aro growing up for LonSE, and as
they grow the Marquis grows more forlorn.
His Light was very brilliant Of the outset, but
Sights, and snubs, and gentle reminders are
gradually extinguishing it. Els ancient
lineage, his Captaincy of the London-scottish
volun teers, his authorship Of single, soli-
tary, and somewhat sorrowful book, his ora
tory, his services in Parliament and the India
Office, and the learned lnbors OF his father,
the Duke, alike seem to have been powerless
in saving the Marquis from constant rebuke
for his temerity in oyerStepping the bounds
Of his social circle; nor does the succession Of
these rebukes from equerriez and goldsticks
seem to teach him his position. Although
located, beyond all hope of change, in the
second rank, he is continually making des-
perate leaps to the first, and is left langing
aud dangling for the fun Of gods and men.
His first slight was at party On the grounds
of Buckingham Palnce, where he attemptcdto
enter the tent of royalty, and was met at the
door by pompous eque1T with the per-
cmptory message forbidding him to enter
There was no first tent for the Marquis Of
Lorne. The equerrys message was an in
timation to him ha must always be in the
second tonse. This wns settler for the
Marquis at home. Perhaps, however,
brighter stars might shine upon him aBroad.
One fine morning, the Marquis took his wife
md carpet-bag and ran over to Berlin to call
upon sister V1c1onA at the testy Kaiser's
Court, where there are three circles, tho first Of
which surrounds blood royal, the second, the
nobility, and the third, literary men,
students, butchers, beer-seners, old women,
ministers, show-men, and other small mis-
cellaroous truck The Marquis, with hope
full heart, sought to enter the blue-blooded
circle, where his wife and sister-in-law sat,
but was met by the official Nemesis with tho
announcement thathemust step down md out
into the Zlceik S41a!, Mrs. LonSE protested
and the sister-iu-law begged and interceded,
bu: all in vain, and once more the Marquis Of
LoRSE's Light went ont and he buried his sor-
rows in tankerd Of beer. Again-ana this
time upon his native heath, in the home OF
his ancestors-the iron entered his soul. The
Princess herself desired that when she went
to the pcternal freside of all the LoRsE's, she
should be recognized rs the Marchioness, but
when they drove up the grounds, behold the
venerable patcrfamilias smiling at tho door
and calling out to the assembled tenantry to
give three cheers "for my daughter, the
Princess" and the Marquis brother making
familiar illusions 70 the Queen o. ''Loas1s
mother-in-law."

has made itself felt in nearly every country
Of Europe.
In England, the University Of London
holds its doors ajar for women to enter, cnd
will doubtless soon open them wide. Over
800 young women attended the University last
year, The admission Of Girton College, ct Cam
bridge, at which women only are taught, into
full membership in the University, is only q
question OF time. Oxford and Cambridge both
hold examinations for women every year, on
the plan which Harvard has tried to intro
duce into this country A medical college
for women YVES opened this fill in London,
where, few years since, Mrs. GARRETT
ANDERSON WIS obliged to hire, at q great cost,
the entire staff Of a medical school to give
her, in private, the lectures which they deliv-
cred publicly snd cheaply to men. The English
Government telegraphs employ great num-
Ecr OF women. Women are working in
every branch Of art. The most admired
picture at this years Exhibition was painted
by woman, Miss THOMPSON. Yet it is only
two years since women who sent pictures to
the Exhibition attached mems names to them
in order to insure their being accepted end
sold.
This state Of things in England finds
parallel, more or less exact, in Germany, in
France, in Austria, in Holland, and in Sweden
and Russia. In Germany, the emancipation
of woman has the powerful MD Of the
Empress that is and the Empress TINT is to
be. The civil-service of Austria is full of
women, al Of whom have had to pass rig
orous examination in order to be appointed.
The telegraph-setvice Of the Continent is
largely in feminine hands. In Germany,
the feminine telegraphers have been ad-
vised, in IN official circular, not to
spend so much money for dress!
Women can attend most of the continental
universities, except in their medical courses
Leipsic and Zurich IRE almost the only seats
Of learning which instruct women and men
together in medicine. Tho result Of the e1-
pertinent has not been dattering. There is
only one feminine student at Leipsic. She
has very hard time of it. At Zurich, there
has been gross immornGty. This is almost
the sole shadow on the bright picture of
progress Frenchwomen are largely en-
ployed in warehouses, and counting rooms,
and shops. Austria and Holland maintain q
number OF commercial schools, in which girls
arc fitted for business life. Italy gives wom-
en- artistic work in abundance, and has made
room for them in her railway Offices. Russian
railways employ few women.
The scattered facts which we have here
grouped together are but hints at the magni~
tude of the change in women's wants and
work abroad If LEcKY is right in Raying
that woman's position is the surest index Of
civilization, then European civilization has
made wondrous gain within the last decade.

great Fair, Or other enormous gathering OF

next, and San Francisco next. Of course San
Francisco is too far of to one side ever
to collect more people at one time
than its handsome md spacious houses

ever, and Philadelphia most Of Ill. Phlla-
delphia is essentially 1lome-city. 1t pro-
rides excellent accommodations for its own
pcople,-one house for every five persons,
an unusually generous nllowance,-but 1t IS
utterly careless of the travelling public. The
habits of the Philadelphia people aro such
that they can scarcely comprehend the
gathering of IN immense concot1rse OF people
from all pnrts Of the world. Philadelphia
has bat ono large hotel,-tho Continental,-
and but two or three European hotels; tho
number Of boarding houses and lodging
houses is small. Now, if the people expect
to make the Centennial Exposition success,
they must provide some adequate and decent
accommodations for the visitors. If they
fail to do so, the visitors will fail to make
their appearance in any such number
Us to assure the financial success OF
their project. Mr.. HART suggests that
there. are 100000 accessible houses in
Philadelphia, each of which could spnre
one room for strangers. Perhaps it will be
necessary to resort to some such plan but
the utmost generosity Of the Philadelphia
people will fail to make it practicable unless
there is some organization and system about
it. The Philadelphia newspapers should tako
this matter in hand Immediately, and keep
the discussion conspicuously before the people
until some good working system may be
agreed upon by which the private residences
can be made to serve the necessities Of the
Centennial rush. Otherwise failure and dis

The Pazz4faN Budget is responsible for
the statement that BISMARCK has declared
that NAroLEoS was led by Jesuitica1 influence
into making war upon Germany, and that he
would have made IN honorable peace at the
last hour, had not intrigues planned at Rome
prevented it The Budget asserts, moreover,
thnt BISMARCK has in his possession proof
that the false report Of the insult of BESE-
DErn by the Emperor Wu11AA-the report

graphed from Berlin by Papal hirelings.

The Pope of Hindostan has died Until
he died, very few people outside Of India
knew that he bad lived. The obituary nrti-
cles Of tho English press havo consequently
been long and interesting We Gull the
A1aharana Of Oodcyporo Pope, because that
title more nearly than any other describes his
position to American readers. He would hare
felt insulted, however, had he heard the name
applied TO him. The Maharauas Of Oodeyporo
sat on their thrones for 1,200 years before
Sr. PETER mndo TINT dubious visit to Rome.
nate in CnR1sr, Vishnu, so the Hindoos say
and believe, was incarnate in Rama, the
monarch Of Oodeypore. Rama's family still
rules Ramcs realm. Their i" divine right 3"
to do SO is unquestioned By Hindoos. The
Oodeypore Maharana, OF, moro simply, Rama,
is the first Hindoo. His jurisdiction
is temporal and spiritual. He can
quash a Brahminical accommodation.
No Hindoo sovereign can be consecrated
save by him. He is the embodiment Of the
old faith, and is regarded with intense, super
stitious awe by every devotee of Hindooism.
He is remote relation Of Vishnu, by virtue
of his descent from Rama. Harm to him is
hurt to the great god. His death is really
the greatest grief his Immediate subjects can
know. When the last Rana died, the
''most ancient community in the
world"-so the Spectator styles it-gnve
itself up to an abandon Of sor1ow. Men
shrieked and beat their breasts in the streets.
Woman were in frenzy. Only English in
reference kept troops of them from the
Rana's funeral-pyre. Most wonderful Of all,
the whole people, who guard their boards
from insult with prompt and bloody violence,
shaved their faces clean. This was the ut
most proof of sorrov, for the beard is to
this race what the pig-tal IS to the China
man, and more too.
The Ranas of Cooley pore are "Children Of
the Sun" The sun is their symbol. This
deity, who has preserved his chosen family
intact for 5000 years, has unfortunately now
endowed the race with an em5a7vas du rich
csses He has provided two children Of the
Sun Both claim tie vacant throne. Each
is backed by small army. The dispute has
now, however, been referred to the Viceroy
of India. He will play the part of an Ecu
menica1 Council. There is no appeal from
his decision, and SO Hindostan need not fear
a strife between Pope and anti-Pope.

"Riches Take Wings >

From the Boston Sunday Times.
It is nOtonly individuals who
have increased in prosperity
and as suddenly gone down into
nothingness; there are cities of
which the same can be sa;d.-
lSuch one is Pithole City, Pa.
Within one month from nc
completion of the first house his
city had a telegraph Office and
Il hotel, costing the owners $780,
1000. In one month more there
was daily paper established,
and in the next a theatre, and
then an academy of music. In
six months there were seventy
fourhoteIs and boarding-houses;
in the seventhmonth the city had
reached its highest prosperity.
1t then had about 15, 900 inhab-
itants, elaborate water works, a
city hall and an expensive city
government. Then occurred
the completion of a labor-saving
enterprise, the so-calIed Miller
Farm Pipe line, by which the
petroleum was sent off indepen-
dent OF the laboring population.
At once 1000 persons were
thrown out of employment,
while 1900 houses became use
le s; this was the death blow to
Pithole City. AT once the ho-
tells, the theatres and the tele-
graph Office were closed,and the
daily paper gave up the ghost,
while almost every one packed
his trunk and moved out. On
ly nine families remain out of =
population Of 1000 souls, while
the railroad from Pithole and
CleopOlis runs only one train a
day. consisting OF a locomotive
and single car, which usually is
empty; but the company is OBJ
iiSed to keep running, other
wise the charter for the road
would be lost. They still hope
against hope for better times
for that unfortunate city, which
in only seven months was born,
full grown, got sick and died.
Undoubtedly this is a case un-
paralleled in history, modern or
ancient; neither Egypt nor
Greece can give examples Of
such rapid changes.
