MARRYING FOR MONEY.

A late author very truthfully says "Gold
cannot buy happiness, and the parents who
compel their daughters to marry for station
or money commit a grievous sin against
humanity and GOD And a woman who
marries churl for his wealth will find that
she has made a terrible bargain-that all
the gatherings of a heartiess grandeur are
phosphorescent gatherings of heart-wretch-
edness; that her life will be one gilded
misery and her old age will be like erag
on the black side of desert mountain,
where cold moonbeams sometimes glitter,
but no birds sing, but wild storms howl
and hoarse thunders roar, and through the
sweeping storms shall be heard the stern
voice of the great God, saying, Your
riches are corrupted, your garments are
moth-eaten, your gold and silver are can
keYed, and the rust of them shall be a wit
ness against you, and eat your flesh as if it
were fire."

APROMIsrNG Young PRINCE.

The American people are above any
weak hankering after royalty, yet, when a
princely scion of ruling family of the
old world deigns to visit our shores, the
condescension is appreciated at its full
value, and special interest is ever after
felt in the destiny and doings of the late
guest. The Grand Duke Alexis, with
his white bull pup, has called on Uncle
Samuel twice. The first time his recep-
ton by the royal family at Washington
was not very gracious, owing to some
misunderstanding between the wife of the
then Minister of State with the wife of
the then Russian ambassador as to the
best method of having court dress cut
in the neck. This imbroglio by the way,
led to the recall of the Russian Embassa-
dor and Embassadress, Mr.. and Mrs.
Catacazy, and dissipation Of the cloud
of war. On Alexis second visit, when
both he and his white bull pup had re-
Bpectively reached the age of manhood
and doghood, he was received with re-
newed cordlality and endeared himself to
hotel keepers and photographers by the
readiness with which he accepted the
tender of sittings from them.
He was evidently an amiable youth,
but the white bull-pup was the only in
dication of war-like spirit this scion of
the Romanof5 carried around with him.
During the Russian-Turkish war he was
entirely lost sight of by his American ad-
mirers Even the enterprising war cor
respondents of the London papers didn't
fish him to the surface. 1t now appears
that on his return from the United States
he was assigned to the command of the
entire naval forces on the Danube. All
of the Russian fotilla in that river was
under his command, and the duty de-

To everybody connected with our express
and rapid transportation companies the
berry season is a season of the greatest
activity. 1t begins quite lively with the
coming il of Strawberries in May, relaxes
somewhat after the departure OF blackber-
ries, grows brisk again at the approach Of
autumn and does not completely die out
until the last frost-bithan grapes from the
regions of the lakes haze been delivered.
Just now the express offices and depots are
scenes OF the widest hustle and excitement,
which always attend the shipment of straw
berries when the season is properly on. As
train time on the different roads approaches,
berry boxes take wings and fly, and woe be
unto the unfortunate individual who gets
in the way of an eXpressman at such mo-
ment. Fruit dealers are i'll their glory, and
telegraph boys are kept constantly on the
go carrying berry messages A gentleman
connected with one of the express com
panies informs a STAB reporter that during
the past week their berry runs have aver
aged fully two thousand bushels per day,
and this proportion will no doubt be kept
up for ten days longer when, instead of ex-
porting them in such quantities, they will
begin to import them at about the same
rate. One popularity of the berry trade is
that while we may ship them North, as we
are now doing, with great vigor for several
weeks, we soon begin to ship them from the
North lust as energetically. The facilities
offered by rapid transportation hass'pro-
longed the strawberry season with lis nearly
a month, as we have the benefit of Southern
berries some two weeks before our own
ripen and of Northern berries for about the
same period after ours are gone.

A NEW DISCOVERY.

Another buried town has been found in
Italy, near Manfredonia, at the foot of
Mount Gargano. A temple of Diana was
first brought to light, and then portico
about twenty metres in length, with columns
without capitals and, finally a metropolis,
covering fifteen thousand square metres
(about three and three-fourth acres). A
large number of inscriptions have been col
lected, and some of them have been sent to
tile museum at Naples. The town dis
covered is the ancient Sipontum of which
Strabo, Polybeus and Livy speak, and
which was buried by an earthquake. The
houses are twenty feet below the surface of
the soil The Italian Government has
taken measures to continue the excavations
on large scale. Every day some fresh
object of interest turns up. The latest is a
mo ument erected in honor of Pompey
after his victory over the pirates, and a
large quantity of coins in gold and copper.
