of the Queens intention, is not known

time of tie Queens return from Cleur
aud the consideration of the pan of
marriage would confirm that SUPPOSE
ton. Lord Hamilton, the future Duke
OF Abercorn, started for Ireland, and his
engagement to Miss Curzen. who was
staying ut lis fathers residence, was
announced. Lord Harrington, the DuEe
Of Devonshirc, that is to be, and the
coming Duke of Kent, also left London.
THE MARQUIS OF LoRNE
alone remained, and he was summoned
to the royal presence. AS the coming
Duke Argyll, the highest Scottish no.
bility, he was far better for rank than
any halt-penny prince of two-penny
principality. Then the marriage might
be turned to account i'll cesnerting the
loyalty of the Scotch to the fortunes of
the crown. So, as a sequel after pro-
per time, the Duke of Argyll became
royalty's father-in-law. The announce
ment was received in various ways; by
the people with astonishment, by the
Scotch with joy, and by the royal fami-
ly with feeling and expressions that were
any thing but cordial approval. The
Princess Beatrice, who at once saw that
she was the future walking companion
to the Queen, the lone woman OF the
family. was furious, remarklug con-
temptuously, when she heard it, that
there was "no one left tor her but Fred
Grant or young man from Lewis &
Allenby's" Ia large London dry goods
store). But the matter was settled,
and the obstinate Princess became the
Marchioness of Lorne in due time The
tutor, now Canon Duckwortb, having
acted in such straightforward. manly
way, won, naturally, no el.d Of royal
favor. While the love and position of
the Princess might have saved him any
penalties for running away with Louise
which she was reported quite eager
to do-still his promotion in State
governed Church would have been ire
trievably checked, probably for lite !;
and chances for happiness in the face of
royal displeasure are terribly few in Eng
land. The Cannon, and no doubt future
Archbishop, did just what was manly,
Christian and best. Various fayors
were shown him at once, and, OH the
death of Cannon Kingsley, that great
nlan's valued position in Westminster
Abbey was given to Duckworth. His
appointment to the suit of the Prince
OF Wales is the latest exhibition of this
favor in memory of his action.
LoRNE's LIFE SINCE HIS MARRIAGE
with royalty can hardly be said to have
been happy one for him It's cause
torce-might point the same way for
his wife, although his just-publislled
book, which is illustrated by his artist
spouse, gives slight indication of har-
mony of situation. Yet, whenever he
attends court, he enters the palace at
the entrance reserved for noblenen. He
sits below the salt at the royal table :;
he is known only as the Marquis oil
Lorne, and it is to be presumed that the
Princess Louise does not care, as she
has force Of will sufficient TO have HIM
treated as the husband of a royal Prin-
cess, or else go herself as the Marchion-
ess of Lorne the to be Duchess of Argyll.
And perhaps another straw that would
point TO his marital life as one OF wreteh-
edness, is found that the past to him is
q thorn Whenever he thinks on his
condition he cannot help remembering
the beautiful American girl to whom
he was devoted with all the devotion
of true lover. His attentions were
thoroughly constant to bis ideal, ass

for the first time at the court Of Berlin.
Miss B, and her sister, both of whom
are very beautiful, and both now mar
ried, were favorises with the Crown
Princess of Prussia, the eldest daughter
of Queen Victoria. Consequently these
two Amerlcan girls were constantly at
court, and were rauch anired. Lorne
being in the Royal Capital at the time,
visited court, where he met and was
captiyated by the tall pale beauty, Mar
