The Debts Of the Prince of Wales.

The Prince of Wales owes debts to the amount
OF $300,000 Some of these debt have been
running for long time, and the creditors are
somewhat impatient for their money. How
did it happen that the Prince got so deeply
into debtH Who can tell? From his birth
up to his majority the revenues of the Duchy
of Cornewall were saved up for him. Inst
year his income from this source was E62, $40.
1t was not so much before his shrewd father
stopped many leaks in its administration, but
but the sum saved must have been large.
Then there Is his annual allowance from Par
Lament, and the annual allowance to his Wife
aud while he pays no rent for his town resi-.
dence, Marlborough House, he probably gets
a small income from his tenats at his country
estate, Sandringham. Besides all this his
late lamented father is known to have left a
very large amount of money, although it is
probable that his mother keeps very close
guard over this No one can tell anything
about it, for if the Prince C9nsort left a will
his widow has never sent it to be recorded. But,
on the whole, one would be inclined to say that
a gentleman with an income of at least $3.50 600
year ought to keep out of debt, even if he
had large family of small children and enter
tanned much company.
The Prince of Wales has not kept out of
debt. He owes, as [ have said, 100000, and
the government is about to ask Parliament to
pay nls deptS. ne proposition Will cause
row, and if the Republicans had any real in.
Auence, they could make some capital out OF
the affair. The plea 10 favor of the PROPOSE
tiOn will be that the debts have been incurred
in the performance of State duties which have
been imposed upon him by the Queen. The
truth is, L believe, that the Prince, who is
very shrewd fellow in his money matters, ha
! always borrowed the funds which have beet
expended on these occasions. refusing to us
his own money for such purposes, and saying
thai in the end either Parliament or his mothe
, must pay the debts thus contracted. u
raisGn. The simple justice of the case woult
seem to demand that the Queen should pa

A SURRENDER. The Rev. Morgan Dix,
d. d., ritualstic, rector of Trinity Church,
New York City, and son of Governor Dix of
that State, was married last Friday morning to
Miss Emily w. SOutter, and the wedding has
occasioned a world of amusing gossip. The
reverend gentleman is about forty six years Of
age, and his bride has about half that number
of years ON her head. That however, is not
the point of surprise. The point is that DR..
Dix has hitherto been violently opposed to the
idea of welded priesthood in the Church.
Like the Roman Catholics, he has maintained
that "the Church" alone should be the bride
of the spreacher of the gospel, and he has pub.
lished work in advocacy of the ceibacy of
the Protestant clergy. Moreover, he had
assisted in organizing body Of church sisters,
in his section of the Episcopal Church, resem-
bling the Catholic Sisters of Charity, and he
had by precept and example studied to indoc
trinate them with his notions OF celibady. And
10 he has suddenly turned his back upon his
own principles and taken unto himself wife
"a young wife The Sisters are all "at sea"
in consequence. lie has suddenly abandoned
celibacy. So would they, probably, had they
an eligible chance. OF course he is in raptures
