IMPEACHMENT
highlands Rishtful King.
fBoston Pilot.l


1t IL o curious fact, and one that Is not
generally known, that King Victor Emanuel
was, by the strict law OF succession, the
rightful King Of England. He was descended
I'M a direct line from Charles |. The youngest
daughter OF that unhappy monarch, the
Princess Henrietta Maria, married Castor
d1Orleans, the brother Of Louis XIV. She
died, leaving two daughters. The eldest be-
came Queen OF Spain, and died childless The
younger married the heir to the House Of
Savoy, and was the ancestress of the late
King Of Italy. After the Revolution of 1858.
when the right to succession to the British
throne was settled by act of Parliament,
the House Of Savoy was excluded on
account OF the Catholic religion protested by
Its members. The House of Hanover, of
which Queen Victoria is the. representative,
was several removes farther from the direct
succession, deriving, as it did, it's claims from
James I, through Queen Elizabeth Of Bohe-
mia, and her daughter, the Electress Sophia
A striking commentary on the consequences
OF human actions is afforded by this story Of
a royal inheritance. When Charles 1 espoused
"a Catholic princess he could scarcely have
imagined that by this act he was excluding
his direct descendants from the throne Of
their fathers; and still less could his Queen
have foreseen that any descendant of her IA
vorite child, so carefully trained by her in the
tenets OF her own religion, should ever over
throw the temporal power of the Pope, and
be himself installed upon the throne.

A Murderer.s Farewell speech.

The following is an extract from the state
ment of Brown Coble the negro preacher,
hanged Thursday in Winchester, Tenn: The
time that must die guilty or innocent, is al
most at hand, and feel that there is no con-
domination upon me, because am in Christ,
and walk not after the flesh, but after the
spirit; for to be carnally minded is death, but
to be spiritually minded is life and peace; for
4 reckon the suffering OF the, present time is
not worthy to be compared with the glory
which shall be revealed to us.
s Ny loving wife lies near my heart.
My babe upon my breast:
But hope to see them again in heaven,
s Where for all Is place of rest.
For am persuaded that neither life, nor
death, nor angels, powers, or things present,
nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor
any other creature Is able to separate me
from the love Of God which is Christ Jusus
our Lord. I soon will be before the court
where God will be both Judge and witness,
and He will give me a just and impartial trial
before His bar. 1 hope to meet all the world
In heaven. Those men who swore my life
from me, I hope to meet there; but when
get there let me see my Jesus before any one
else. Now will bid this world farewell.

THE WHEAT CROP.
| The Heaviest Yield Ever known Expect
| ed this Year-Flatrerln Reports
from the Ohio Valley.

CINCINNATI, March 22-The Enquirer will con-
tain to- morrow full and complete reports re-
gardng the condition, acreage and prospects,
Of the growing wheat crop In the states of
Ohio. Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia.
The reports show a most fattering prospect
for next harvest. The increase In acreage over
last year In the four States will exceed
25 per cent, while the improvement in the con.
dition at this season over previous years 1s
fully as great throughout the entire territory
reported. The weather, has been remarkably
favorable, and the grow.h is as great as in the
month OF May In previous years. Many fields
In consequence are now being grazed by farm
ers to retard the growth. But few sections Ie-
port injury from tue ravagee of the fly last fall.
and those 80 reporting say the damage was but
slight.
In two counties in Kentucky the reports
show damage blythe Hessian fly, but it is too
early to arrive at the extent The fields visited
last fall by the insect we're those early sown
and generally In light sandy soil. Owing to the
advanced state OF the crop these fields have not
been revisited this spring by the evil. as Is u.s.
ually the case. But few localities report any
winter killed.
In the northern part Of Indiana and Ohio
some few cases are noted, and the damage result
ing therefrom amounts TO but little. The only
danger feared Is late frosts. and in clayey land
dronth later in the season. Should these dan
gers be averted, the heaviest yield ever har-
vested In the Ohio valley will be gathered this
season.
