ants Of tho old family OF Bourorotr,
Who was very poor. unmarried, aod
70 Years OF age, was induced. by an annuity Of
els 600 paid to him by her, to meet her in church
Tor the purpose Of marrying her. giving her his
name. and immediately departing wherever he
"lahed. on the condition OF mover coming near
~ hls vito again. The ceremony MAS held, the con-
.taess signed and the new-1edged Princess loft
the church proud Of her uame.
Not being able to make the true blue blood open

tocfocy. tno Princess left Russia for t1ayels
through Europe, which consisted chiefly of visits
Her ext1aVagance was astonishing. At Monaco,
during the winter Of 16G3~ go, she broke the banr
severni times. and still she WAS Obliged n saji
her villa at Nice in order to be able to satisfy her
ante-room OF the gambling establishment. at
haf-past o'clock il the aftcrnoon,-kuowing
that her little son was lying seriously i'll in
room OF the very villa which sbe sold. With the
money which she received she went to play, aud,
being lucky, she won IN short time SOC. 900
francs : aud bought back her charming place on
the IS Promenade des Anglais, at S o'clock OF tha
same day, by paying bonus OF $4,000
It happened many times that she lost 81; tho
money which she had in her capacious pockets,
generally constituting fortune in itself, and
she calmly went across the garden Of tho kur-
saal to an obliging jeweler, who furnished her
money on her deposlting her diamonds, which
were OF enormous value. Some dxys she pawned

always playing with the advanced money. vim
ming, redce1ning, losing, and pawning again.
One day, when she had lost all, pawned all,
and no friend WAS near to lend her money, aha
was not too proud to accept the offer of an ad-
mirlng waiter Of the Hotel de- Paris, which she
entered to take tea, and who laid his
savings, 10000 francs, at hez feet. She
accepted tho money with smile Of thanks, went
back to plaT, broke tho bank, and repaid tho
waiter so abuudantly that lie was enabled to buy
one Of the best hotels in the place, which he
possessea now.
But the catastrophe which overtakes all habit
nal gamblers did not fail to reach her, aud the
day came when there was nothing more left ia
pawn or cell. and no friends to help her. One OF
the PRINCIPAL reasons OF her distress was per-
emptory order of tue Russian Emperor not Ia
scua any more OF the revenues to the eccentric
Princess. though he did not wish to interfere in
her management Of her fortune, any further
! than to prevent its being spent in senselesa
manner out Of her country. The bank Of Monaco
showed itself sufficiently gallant not to leave ono
OF it's best clients in distress. and presented tho
Princess with draft OF 25, 900 francs to enable
her to journey homeward, wiser it not better
woman.
The closing Of all those gambling establish
meuts, except Monaco, by order Of the respect
i've Governments, now compes the Princess to
do without her favorite pastime, AZ least during
the sumnet-season. RETLAw.

TOWN ECONOMY.

The reports from the town elections in
the State indicate that town affairs are
generally managed to the satisfaction OF
the taxpayers. The cases are very few in
which there are complaints of nefficiency
or unfaithfulness on the part of town OIL
GERS. The direct responsibility OF ofhciais
to the voters, and annual accountability
for the trust reposed in them, are excel
lent aids to honesty and economy in the
conduct of town matters. When these
are well understood and carefully enforced
there is no chance for inefficiency to be
continued, or for dishonesty to rob the
treasury of any considerable sum or for
any length of time.
If a town has Il weak board OF select
men the voters have the power to change
them at the close of their term. Iftreas-
urers' accounts are properly settled every
year they would never become defaulters.
In this system there is safety. To it we
owe the healthy financial condition of our
municipalities, as they appear when the
town meetings are held.
In the management of town matters the
coming municipal year there will be occa-
sion for close economy. While the schools
and roads should be amply provided for,
all extravaganza should be avoided, no
debt should be incurred that may leopard
or embarrass the towns. We would not
follow that niggardly, blind course, which
sometimes prevails, by which the young
are pinched in the means of education at
forded, and roads are neglected TO the
public damage, and yet we would beware
of taking the road that leads to the other
extreme. Another year we shall be able
to see what effect the taxation of railroads
and insurance companies will produce !;
this year the State tax is not reduced. If
the amount which these new sources of
taxation affords is equal to the estimates,
it will enable us to cut down direct taxa
ton much to the relief Of many towns and
classes. We have no means of knowing
how much the aggregate Of town debts
has been reduced the past year, but we
Judge the reduction has been considerable.
The feeling in favor of wiping out the
debts as early as possible without taxing
too heavily prevails strongly and general
ly. Surely and steadily we are overcom-
ing the financial burdens that the war i'm
posed upon us. A few years more will
see the State rid of its war debt, and the
towns encountered only with bills for Or
binary expenses, providing the prudent
mana cement which controls in State and
municipal affairs shall not be Interrupted.

W4SHINGTON MATTERS.


The departments in Washington will be
draped in mourning until after the funeral OF
Mr.. Fillmore, which takes place to-day at
Buffalo.
The Secretary of the Treasury has written
letter to the Senate Finance Committee in
reply to the petitions to New York merchants
about his using the ga, 900. 900 reserve. He
takes the ground that, under the law, he has
a right to use this fund.
Gen. Butler has in preparation speech
upon the moiety question, in which he will
undertake 10 defend at length the action OF
the Treasury and Custom officers in connec-
ton " it'll the suits and seizures which have
recently received so much public mention.
Gen. Butler claims to be able to show that
the officers had full warrant for all of their
actions, and will insist that the Customs ofti-
GERS shall be protected in the performance of
their duties.
Senator Upton, who has returned from a
visit to Nebraska, says that the people of thai
State are displeased that reports should have
been generally circulated that there is danger
in any part of that State from hostile Indians.
The Indian trouble in the West, he says, has
been greatly exaggerated, and there is really
no more danger in any of the settled portions
of Nebraska than in the States this side of the
Mississippi river. 1t has been suspected by
many in Washington that there was more
smoke than fire in the present cry about In
dian wars.
The Secretary of the Interior has recently
overruled a decision of the Commissioner of
Pensions, which, if sustained, is likely to
greatly extend the jurisdiction of the Pension
Bureau and to relieve Congress of very
considerable amount of the special claims for
pensions. The facts were these: In GER
tain case surgeons certificate of discharge
stated that the soldier was under disability at
the time Of enlistment. The surgeo who
mustered the soldier in, and the family ply
stefan, testified upon oath that no such disa-
bility existed at the time of enlistment, but
that he was perfectly sound man. In this
testimony five Of his neghbors, himself and
lis family, concurred. The appeal was taken
to determine whether this outside evidence
could be permitted to overcome the record
certificate of the discharged soldier. The
Secretary of the Interior has ruled that it may
be admitted. very large per centage of the
pension bills introduced in Congress, possibly
one-half, are based upon similar facts, and il
the Secretary of the Interior maintains his
ruling, the docket of Congress will be greatly
relieved.
