How Raronets are NFale.

Queen Victoria's mother married
her father four years after the death
OF her first husband, the Prince of
Leiningen. The duke, prior to the
marriage, had been living in Brussels,
in a house rented for 1900 a year
from an English admiral, and maze
frequent excursions into Gerpanv.
They were married at Coburg, on NAV
80, 1918, according to the Lutheran
rites, and the marriage " las solemnized
at Kew, according to those of the
Church OF England. They remained
but a short time in England, and then
went to Amorbach, where the duchess
had been residing as guardian to her
son and regent of his principality.
When the duchess became enciente,
Alderman Wood grandfather Of Sir
Evelyn, the Zululand hero), who was
twice lord mayor of London, and an
eminent liberal, was, from patriotic
fe elings, DESTROYS that a child probably
destined to be sovereign should be
born On British soil, and therefore
tried to induce the trustees of the
dukes estate, then ~insolvent, to ad-
vance enough money to enable him to
return. They declined, and he HIM
self advanced it. 1t was not reps',d
for years. The queen, it is said on
account of this generosity, C'feated
him a baronet.

KILLED IN his TRACKS.
Rackshotted in the Back OF the
Head.

Shortly before daylight, on Monday
last, Dave Ball, colored, was shot and
killed by Mr.. McNorton, at Captain
Shanday's place. some two miles south
Of Senatobia, Miss. The villain had
made several efforts to enter the room
of two young ladies who lived at the
house. In the early part of the
night he succeeded in getting
into the room Of a colored
girl, but she screamed and frightened
him away, not before he was recog-
nized by the girl, however. Ball had
on five different occasions endeavored
to effect an entrance to the sleeping
apartments Of the ladies referred to,
and he had been in the habit Of the
same yillainy with others for several
years past. His prosecutions
were such that they could
not longer be allowed to
continue. After being driven away
from the colored girls room, suspect
ing he would return, Mr.. McNorton,
with a friend, armed with loaded shot
guns, lay for him. At the time named
he opened the gate and approached
the window of the young ladies' room.
He was called to halt, but broke off in
a run, when he was fred upon, the
charge lodging in the back of his
head and causing death in a few min
utes.
AT the inquest held on Monday
it was proven by the woman with
whom he lived that he seldom slept at
home. Other facts regarding his
m%arauding habits were developed, and
a verdict was rendered that the kill
ing was justifable. No arrests were
made.

Marshal MacMahon's Affairs.

Herald Cable telegram
Not only has ex President MacMa-
hon never contemplated anything so
Shakesperean as suicide, but he is in
the best Of health and spirits. His f.
%nancial position is as satisfactory as
possible,as he has, to the best Of his be-
lief, no debts. The hotel in the Rue
de Bellechasse, which was sold lately,
was never inhabited by the marshal
or by any member Of his family, and
must not be COMPOUNDED with two
other mansions which he owned in the
same street or with the famous hotel
de Castries, the residence of the Due
de Castries, Nine. MacMahon's
brother. There was a sale in the Rue
de Bellechasse, but the house sold
was the joint property of the Duchess
de Magenta, her sister, and the Due
de Castries, whorented it to strangers.
The marshal's expenses, during the
presidency, were very heavy, but they
did not exceed the limits of the lib
eral allowance which was made him
by the state. When he left the
Elysee, as a matter of course, his ex-
penditure was reduced to suit his al
tered position, but the sensational sto-
ries woven out of this simple ct,and,
| may say, very generally believed
here, are purely imaginative.

The killing OrWest.

The Isl of Allen Jenkens, charged
with having assassinated Mr.. West,
on Saturday night last, about six
miles north of the city, occupied the
attention Of Esq. Quigley in the Grim
lnal court room all of this forenoon.
Mrs. West, the wife of the murdered
man, charged as an accessory,
was released from custody, no
evidence appearing to implicate
her. West was shot while disrobing
to retire for the night, a few minutes
before s o'clock, some person hidden
in a cornfeld a short distance from
the doorway firing the fatal shot, and
then making good his escape. In the
examination this forenoon the testi-
mony Of creditable witnesses indicated
that jenkins put up his team about G
o'clock in the evening Of Satur-
day, went to supper, sat down
and smoked his pipe, and spent the
time until half past ten at Bucks
grocery, corner Of Third and Concord
streets. The indications, therefore.

Jenkins and West, the wife of the

kins. One Wilmer testified, that
jenkins, some weeks ago, told him he
(Jenkins) would kill West if he evel
darkened his door. The impression
prevails among the neighbors in the
vicinity Of where West was killed
that he was assassinated on &C.

wife Of another man. All Of the ties.

Happy Lot Orthe English Bache.
IOr.

AOA
Taking one consideration with an
other as Mr.. Gilbert puts it, the
conclusion that the bachelors lot is
to a great extent a happy one must be
inevitably arrived at. The bachelor
IS almost a social free lance. He takes
his pleasure where he finds it, or rath-
er where other people prepare it for
him. AS business" has been defined
as other peoples money" so has
bachelorh0od come to mean the en-
joyment Of other peoples dinners, gar.
den parties and entertainments gener-
ally. As the married man represents
the actual paying prose, so does the
bachelor represent the pOetical poten-
TALLY Of life. He is an object of in
terest 20 daughters, to mothers, and it
may be added to fathers whose duivers
are well feathered with those birds of
rare plume whose pinions fly away
with PARENTAL balances. IF young or
moderately middle-aged, fairly good
looking and well bred, he is the spoiled
child of the luxurious section of the
community. And of all bachelors the
dancing young ran is the most
spoiled. He is invited everywhere.
and no human being asks that he
should give aught but his sweet soci-
ETY. in return. He is an exceptional
being, and not to be subjected to the
ordinary laws Of social obligation,

SMITH, THE

The colored people gave a ball a

which terminated badly, perhaps ia.

about half past twelve o'clock three
pistol shots were heard at the station.
house, and on h%urrying to the spot
whence came the sound, Capt. O'Havel
found everything excitement. Lying
near the ticket office a maj lay on the
ground, bleeding copiously from q
wound in the right lung. He was ia
ken to the station-house where he
gave his name as Turner Bolen, and
from there to Lou Turner's house, on
Charleston avenue, where he is being
cared for by his friends. From infor-
nation at first received. CAPT.
O'Haver suspected a man named
Mat. Riley of committing
the deed, but on questioning him, was
satisfied hat Joe Smith, cOlored, was
the man. Accompanied by Officer
Lee, he went to Smiths house, and,
hailing him, asked him if he knew
where Matt Riley lived. Smith an
swered in the affirmative, but refused
to come out and show the officers.
sIDLING UP.
"I'll give you a dollar to go and
show u.s." said Lee to Smith, who was
leaning out of the window while he
conversed with the officers.
"0h, it's too late!' was the reply.
"Well. I'll give you two dollars"
was the next offer, as Cap
tain O'Haver edged a couple
Of steps nearer.
II don't want to CO. answered the
unsuspecting Smith.
Won't you t.ko three dollars
then ?" said Captain O'Haver, step
ping up within a yard Of Smith, as i!
to hear his answer.
No use in talking, l can't co.
was hardly out of his mouth before
Smith was in the clutches of the law.
He struggled manfully, but was
soon subdued and landed in a cell at
the stationhouse. A pistol was found
in his room with three chambers
empty, corresponding with the num-
her of shots fired. Smith at first
denied all knowledge of the affair, but
threw up the sponge this morning and
owned that he did the shooting, but
said he did not hit the mar he aimed
at.
John Walker was at the station
house this morning and corroborated
Smiths story. He says that Smith
came out of the door of the building
in company with what is known as the
Central Point gang, all drunk and
cursing everything in their way. Smith
struck him with his fist on the back
oe the neck, telling him to %"clear the
way, you d. s. of a b-h," when a
scufle ensued and Smith fred the
shots at him, one of which struck b.
len.
Smiths case is continued to the 18th
inst, when the wounded mans condi-
ton can be defined.
