A UhIan Officer and His Betrothed.

A HUNGARIAN journal, the Lloyd, of
Pesth, relates whatit justly calls a strange
incident" which has just happened to
Count Eulenburg, chef-d' escadron in the
Uhlans of the Prussian Guard, and cousin
of the Minister of the Interior who is be-
trothed to Mdlle. de Bismarck. tThis
young and brilliant officer (says the Pesth
married to the daughter of NJ. Schnffer
(the proprietor Of the journal the Bazaar,
a young lady as beautiful as she is dis
tinguished, and who is received in the
best society in Berlin He made the usual
request to the military authorities to be
permitted to marry, all the conditions re-
quired by the law being fulfilled. But
some days after he received visit from
two officers of his regiment, who ex-
planned to him the traditions of the
Guard did not permit an officer of that
corps to marry woman who was not of
noble family. The Count replied by chal
lenge to fight, but he was obliged by the
rules to ask permission from his Colonel,
Baron de Alvensleben. The latter spoke
to the Count, pointed out to him that
the two officers were in the right that
they were merely representatives of the
corps, who could not tolerate that one
OF. their number should marry the daugh-
ter of former bookbinder Such in fact
had been the first occupation of NJ
SchGtter, who had since acquired by the
III
had two sons officers in the Prussian
army, one of whom was killed at Sadowa
and the other at Sedan. Count Eulenburg
regarded the declaration that Mile. Schef-
fer was unworthy to marry an officer of
the Guard as an insult to his betrothed;
and he sent challenge to Baron de AL
vensleben, who refused to fight, and who
has just had the Count tried by court
martial and sentenced to year and
halls imprisonment in fortress for hav
ing wished to make private affair of the
incident. "-EiUegpo0l Mercury
To KEEP the hair from falling out,
wash the head every week in salt water
and rub the skin of the head with dry
coarse towel. Then apply dressing CON-
posed OF bay rum and sweet oil, with
which few drops of tincture of canthar-
ides have been mingled. This will
stimulate the skin and keep the hair from
falling out and turning gray. The dress
ing for the hair may be scented with
cinnamon oil or some such warming
essence.-N. 7. Tribune.
THREE men in Portland, Me-, tried a
little experiment in the William Tell line,
the other day, which didn't work very
we'll. The affair occurred in a cellar, and
the order of exercises was for one to hold
a cat by the tail, another to hold light,
and the third one to shoot the cat with a
revolver. The revolver was discharged,
but the cat escaped unframed, while the
young man who held her was shot in the
hand, and the one who held the light was
hit in the arm by the same bullet.
