caused the passage of the royal marriage
act, behind which he sheltered himself
! and behind which his son George, with
like cowardice, sheltered himself when
his turn came to play the sooundrel

The most terrible de~nunciation of all,
however, was that which Lady Anne
brought home to the Duke of Cumber-
land, fifth son of George III, who af-
forwards became king of Hanover
when Victoria assumed the crown-and

dethroned by the Franco German war.
She indicted him before the world for
the murder of Sells, his Swiss valet, i'll
consequence of q discovered intrigue
with Sells wife. The circumstances
were so clearly against him, and the
evidence so strong, that all England be-
lleved it, and for all the wrongs heaped
upon her royal friend Lady Anne had
that sweet measure of revenge, growing
out Of the belief that whatever she had
stated she had in a large degree proved.
The inner life of Caroline and the few

with that trial which was so memorable

protege of Caroline, and whom her me-
mics under the promptings of George
did not hesitateto allege was her illegit-
innate child, is fully given, as well as

Many times women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another witt

doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for

Stunning them to be such, when, in reality,
they are all symptoms caused by some uterine
disorder; and while they are thus only able
perhaps to palliate for a time, they are ignor-
ant OF the cause. and encourage their practice
until large bills are made, when the suffering
patients are NO better in the end, but probably
worse for the delay, treatment, and other com

instead Of prolonged misery.

named Efie. With her the count
quickly became acquainted, and the
