TIMELY TOPICS.

Among the laws passed last winter by
the New York Legislature was one per-
hitting historical societies to acquire
and hold the site of any battle or fort,
that is notable in the history of the cOun-
try, for the purpose of erecting nonu-
ments or inciosing inter esting remains.
The limit of occupation is six acres. The
property is to be free rom taxation and
free to visitors. The land cannot be
used for any business purposes, except,
perhaps, peddling peanuts and lemonade

Counting in the Azores, if one can
credit the correspondence of the Phila-

Passing house the correspondent saw a
young man standing in the middle of the
road talking to a Young lady who was
leaning over the railing of the balcony.
When he saw he was noticed he walked
away, but presently returned and re-
sumed his conversation. On inquiry the
correspondent learned that they always
begin that way, and that the young man
is never admitted to the house until
about to be engaged to the young lady,
and then he sees her only in the presence
of other members of the family.

and he fell into doze while reclining

A Blunder and Its Reward.

Forpey's Progress, Translation.
During the first visit TO Paris, NJ. Lasalle'
a distinguished German, presented himself at
the house of a well-known lady, to whom he
had sent letters of introduction in advance.
When the servant opened the door aud re-
ceived his card she conducted him to the
boudoir and told him TO be seated, saying
"Madame will come Immediately"
Presently the lady entered. She was in
| deshabille and her feet were bare, covered
only with loose slippers. She bowed to him
carelessly and said: "Ah, there you are
good morning."
She threw herself On a sofa, let fall a slip
per, and reached out to Lasalle her very
pretty foot.
Lasalle was naturally completely astound
ed, but he remembered that at his home il
Germany it was the custom sometimes t.
kiss a iady's hand and he supposed it was tn
Paris mode to kiss her foot, Thereupon h
did not hesitate to imprint a kiss upon tn
fascinating foot so near him, but he coul
not avoid saying, &C. thank, you, Madame
for this new method of making a lady's &C
quaintance. 1t is much better and certainl
more generous than kissing the hand
The lady jumped up, highly Indignant
" Who are you, sir, and what do you mean ?
He gave his name.
"You are not, then, a corn doctor?P
81 am charmed to say, madame, that l al
not"
But you sent me the corn doctors card
1t was true. Lasalle in going out TIL
morning had picked up the card of a COZ
! doctor from his bureau and put it in h
pocket. This without g~lancing at he ha
given TO the servant, who had taken it to h
mistress. There was nothing to do but laus
1 over the joke.

THE FUTURE KING OF ENGLAND.
His Habits, Tastes and Early Tratnin

The Prince can unbend; and, indeed, if
one cared to describe characters in the Prince
of Ligne style, e" he is fiddle, he is diddle,"
etc. through half a dozen pages one could
analyze his royal highness into a number OF
curiously contradictory elements. The fact
is he is as atfable as he is proud; and many
are the instances related of his good nature.
1t may be remembered that a few years ago
he was ridden over in Rotten Row by a gen-
| tleman, who called on the following day at
Marlborough House to make the humblest
apologies. The Prince was very good ma
tured about it, and insisted on mis- visitor re-
naming to luncheon. In a club or at a mess
dinner the Prince is simply a gentleman
amongst gentlemen.
The Prince is a tory in politics, and a sort
of Broad High churchman in religion. Some
time ago he presented a couple of beautiful
altar candlesticks to the church at Sandring'
ham. But the friend of Dean Stanley would
not be likely to go too far in that direction
His torylsm, too, is Of that kind which Is
open Con certain questlons) to conviction
Thus the only vote he ever gave in the
House of Lords was i'll favor of the bill TO
!egalizing marriages with a deceased wife,
sister. His brother of Edinburgh voted will
him, the Duke Of Cambridge being in thu
majority which threw out the bill. Gener
ally speaking, however, the Prince is goo'
humoredly conservative on political ques
tions. The Prince, it should he mentioned
is an excellent father, and very DESTROYS tina
his SONS should receive Il substantial edIca

the Prince has always known what he was

which the Prince comes out we'll, and anoth-

begged for time to pay his royal %highness.
Of course the Prince consented and to do

trifing one, and the Prince being rather sud

the proprietor is expected to dish up accept
