edgment of the bequest to honor his
memory with handsome monument,
was generally understood during the
greater part of his life to have riveled
the later Princes of the line of Caesar in
| the variety and pertnacity of his Of
/ lenses against the statutes of all civil
lied realms, as well as against the eter.
nal and universal principles Of decency
and morality. The grandfather of the
reigning Grand Duke of Baden enjoyed
no better reputation, and the Elector of
Hesse, who was expelled from his do
minions in 1866 by the Prussians, soon
earned in the Austrian palace ia which
he took refuge as foul name as he left
behind him in his own ancestral domin-
ions.
But the case OF the young Grand
Duke Nicholas differs from all of these
His position is worse even than that Of
the Cardinal Prince De Rohan, who
played so doleiully shameful part in
the famous drama Of the crown diamonds
of France. Even if he should take the
desperate step which the English poet
tells US is the only remedy left to lovely
woman after she has stopped to folly,
his suicide would be fresh feather in
the cap of the Circe who has enslaved
him. On the whole, it is as hopeless a
case as has been heard of in our time,
and brings sharply to mind the story told
of the stern old Marshal Won Wrangel,
the veteran of the veterans Of Prussia.
The Marshal's only son having got him
self into a miserable position in very
much the same way, the iron old soldier
sent for him. threw loaded pistol on
the table, said to him: when Prus-
sian officer has disgraced himself there
is but one thing for him to do, and left
the room. The son blew out his brains;
and from that day forth his name was
heard no more from his fathers lips.

Retreats of the sisters OF Charity.
From the Baltimore San.
One of the most important meetings
OF Sisters of Charity that has ever trans
pired at st. Joseph's (Emmitsburgl is
the mother.h house. Of the Sisters of Char
ity in North America, and it has been
the custom for many years TO hold regu-
lar retreats for members of the commun-
ity within its precincts. The present
retreat will be attended by the Superior
esses of all the religious institutions
academies, asylums, hospitals, etc. =
governed by Sisters of Charity in this
country. The retreat will probably con-
tinue for seven days.
On the 25th day of May there will be
assembled, at Anglers, Department of
Main-et- Loire, France, body of relig-
ious ladies, drawn from nearly every
civilized nation, and from many Of the
semi civilized countries of the earth, to
elect chief officer for their Order.
The Order is that of the Roman Catho-
lie Sisterhood of our Lady of Charity of
the Good Shepherd, and there will be
represented in the electoral council
about lao monasteries, located in Europe,
Asia, Africa, America and Oceaniea.
The Order, as is generally known, has
for its object the reclamation and refor-
nation of fallen women and girls, who
either voluntarily present themselves
for admission or are committed to its
custody by competent authority. Prior
to 1885, this work was carried on only
under the direction of isolated monas-
teries, under various titles, but in that
year the order became known as an or
ganized body, having a supreme source
of authority, and the exemplary lady,
Marie De St. Euphrazie Polletier, who
then became its leader and held the Of
fee, through successive elections, for
thirty three years, or up to the time of
her decease, in April, 1868. According
to the best obtainable information, the
Order now includes about l25 monster
les and nearly 10000 nuns.

BAD PRINCES.
The Russian Scandal and what 4
Suggests.

The Russian Scandal and What fl
suggests.
1t is impossible not to feel something
like compassion for the Russian Grand
Duke, who, as the German newspapers
assure us, has just been arrested in st.
Petersburg for purloining his mother s
diamonds to give them to pretty French
actress. He is a youth of twenty-four,
the oldest son of the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, and, in the face of the story, in
all probability as much of a simpleton as
of scamp OF what particular use is
he likely hereafter to be, either to him
self, or to the Imperial family, or to Rus
sia2 If he had been the son of private
gentleman, the family linen which he
has so dismally smirched would proba-
bly, have been washed at home; and in
any event it would have been possible for
him to change his name, emigrate, and
take another start in life. But Russian
Grand Duke cannot disappear thus un-
tremendously from the public eye; and
the pretty French actress who was the
cause of his felonious folly will be won
derfully unlike her class in general if
she fails to keep alive the scandal sne
ments of their sex is made, like the fame
of the Sioux brave, by the scalps they
wear at their girdles To ruin the son
of French banker or disgrace a British
peer has suficed for the renown of many
a celebrity of the demi-monde, but what
are such achievements in comparison
with the public degradation of Prince
of the imperial house of ROmanotf2
Felonious princes are nothing new, it
is true, in the history OF the world, and
even of the comparatively modern
world. A prince OF the blood royal of
France, the Count of Charolais, in the
early part of the last century, after a
variety of outrages upon law and order,
was finally arrested for the wanton MUIR
der of poor tiler. His royal high
ness, who was very good shot, used to
amuse himself by sitting in the windows
of the Pslais Royal and taking pot
shots at casual persons on the house
tops within range He killed his man in
the case of the poor tiler aforesaid, was
arrested, tried and found guilty Of mur-
der. OF course it was impossible to put
prince OF blood to death for such an
ofense; but the King his cousin, handed
the Count his pardon duly made out,
signed and sealed, blandly adding that
be felt it bis duty to inform his royal
highness that the pardon Of the man
who should shoot him was also prepared
and would be signed on the first oppor-
tunity. Still nearer our own times was
the dark accusation brought against his
royal highness the Duke of Cumber-
land, in England, and never formally
dealt with, that he had murdered one Of
his servants in fit Of rage Another
British Prince, the Duke Of Gloucester,
figured less than hsndred years ago as
defendant in very notorious and scan
dalous case Of Grim, con. The Duke

other day in Geneva, leaving his colossal
fortune to the virtuous people Of the city

| The Australian overland telegraph ex-
tends for 1900 miles across the great
wastes of Australia, from Adelaide on
the south to Port Darwin on the north.
The stations are few and far apart, and
the line is consequently greatly exposed
to attacks from the natives, who pull
the wire down, and cut away great quan.
titles of it for the purpose of arming
the points of their spears. They also
smash the porcelain insulators and use
the sharp edged pieces to scrape their
spear blades into shape. Each station
is small fort in ITSELF at which six men
reside.
Barrow creek is 1900 miles from Ade-
laide and 700 miles from Port Darwin,
while it is in the midst of district
thickly peopled with blacks. On the
evening of Sunday, February %, all the
men of this station were lying out of
doors smoking when they were sudden
ly attacked from the eastern corner of
the building by large party of natives,
who speared Mr. Stapleton, the master.
As the Englishmen had left their arms
inside they made rush for the entrance
but they we're driven back by shower
of spears, which wounded two of them.
Finding their retreat cut off, they ran
around the building in the hope that the
natives would follow them, and so be
drawn away from the doorway. Hsppi-
ly for them the natives gave chase; and
thus, when the poor fellows came round
again to the front of the house, they
found the door unguarded. One, how
ever was fatally wounded as he ran.
They at once seized their rifles, and
soon drove the natives off. They then
telegraphed to Adelaide news of what
had happened, and DR.. Gosse, one of
the Adelaide surgeons, did all that a
surgeon can do by prescription and ad
vice for patients who are 1900 miles
away. Poor Mr.. Stapleton was beyond
cure, but he and his wife, who was living
at Adelaide, l,2O0 miles away, were able
to exchange few parting words. Dr.
Gosse had to insist that the wounded
men should be kept awake all night, for
fear that their flesh might have been
poisoned by the spears. Three days la
ter Mr.. Flint, the wounded operator,
sent the following message: AT p IN.
natives attempted to surround station.
Three shots fred killing one native
Fires all round station. Expect anoth-
er attack. Strict guard kept. Please
hurry relief" Happily relief was
near at hand, for FIVE teamsters and
their superintendent were within few
hours Of Barrow's Creek. Moreover,
Mr.. Tucker, the station master at another
creek, "who had been travelling south
ward along the line, yesterday attached
his pocket instrument to the wire at
Dixon's Creek, and spoke Mr.. Todd, the
superintendent at Adelaide" Mr.. Tue
ker and the FIVE men who were with him
were ordered to proceed with all despatch
to Barrows Creek where they relieved
the little garrison.

THE RAINBOW.
Publisher and Proprietor.

One beautiful morn in the month of May,
When the flowers were all covered with spray,
l stood near my window, fronting the well,
And calmly watched for dear gazelle.
The lilies were blooming sweetly that day,
The children were out in the forest at play;
I drew up the shade, and soft was the breeze,
That gently waved mid flowers and trees.
Away in the east l saw dark cloud,
Which spread over earth like mantling
shroud;
Hoarse thunders were muttering sullen that
way,
And lightning flashes were vivid at play.
The herd on the lawn looked wildly around,
Aud raindrops we're falling fast to the ground,
When the sun came forth mid shower Of
tears,
And quickly brilliant rainbow appears.
It spread far out with radiant glow,
Encompassing earth in circling bow;
From north to south it enveloped the skies,
With rapturous beauty dazzling the eyes.
As 1 gazed on the tranquil scene that day,
Far in the distance it faded away,
And left in the heavens, floating above,
A soft fleecy cloud. sweet emblem of love.

A LudIcrous Incident i'm Church.

A ludierous incident occurred on a late
Sunday in one Of the San Francisco
churches The opening hymn had been
sung, the voluntary finished, and the
minister fairly launched on the sermon.
The organist rose with the proud con-
seriousness of having performed bis drtv
we'll, and, taking a seat, revereltly
bowed his head upon the choirro
From sermon to slumber is but q t,op
and before he was aware of it the dro
god had closed his eyes, and he was %
the land Of dreams. Gently as sleeps
the babe on the mothers breast slum-
bered the organist, while from the pulpit
volleyed and Numbered the inveotives
against sin and sinners. The thirdly
was finished, and the lastly reached, and
still the organist slept. The closing
hymn was given out aud read, but no
sound came from the organ, except
the gentle signing of the bellows.
The good pastor looked appealingly
toward the organ.loft, and the eyes Of a
majority Of the congregation were turn
ed in that direction. The sexton rushed
up the stairs, and, seizing the pedal
master by the shoulder, shook him win
dictively. The somnolent, partially
awakened by humping his head against

to sleep again. The situation was be-
coming unpleasant, when the minister,
looking prematurely solemn, pitched
the tune, and the congregation fell in
one by one. AS each one sang in the
time he deemed fttest, the clergyman
got through first, and finally the others,
one by one, finished, except a cracked
falsetto that had got lost, and was vainly
looking for good place to stop. Disre-
garding the latter as being beneath no.
tice, the minister pronounced the ben
ediction, and the congregation walked
out in silence. A meeting Of the trustees
has been called to decide whether
the organist shall be shot or burned

To show how Washington society con-
ducts itself at a grand wedding, we
quote from letter to an exchange: 1T
seems that towards the end of the eve
ming, at the wedding of Miss Stewart, in
the supper room, there was such riot
ing, drinking champagne, and breaking
of goblets and dishes, that Mrs. Stewart
was compelled to order the supper room
closed. Such conduct as this has been
noted at several parties in Washington
this winter" 1t is evident that the CAPT.
tai is good field of labor for crusaders.
