as the women went out, how the faces
which had regarded them with dlsap-
prevail, derision, or doubt when they
went in, now smiled affably, while sew
eral men hoped the ladies would come
again, asked how they liked it, and as
sured them that there had not been so
orderly meeting for years. One of
the pleasant sights to my eyes was
flock of schoolboys watching with great
interest their mothers, aunts, and Sis
tiers who were showing them how to
vote when their own emancipation day
came. Another was the spectacle of
women sitting beside their husbands,
who greatly enjoyed the affair, though
many of them differed in opinion and
had their doubts about the suffrage
question. Among the new voters were
the descendants Of Maj. Buttrick, of
Concord fight renown, two of Hancock
and Quincy, and others whose grand
fathers or great-grandfathers had been
among the first settlers of the town. A

lies, of the historic town were conspicu-

A ROYAL Quarrel.

There has been another quarrel be-
tween the CZlrowiiZ and his imperial
father. Tue crown prince and Gen.
Loris Melikoh happened to be IN one
of the galleries of the Winter palace,
when, by secret door in the walnscot-
ing. the Princess d. came out of Alex
auder's apartment, and was SLATED like
old boots" by the grand duke, who.
folding his arms, told the czarina's first
lady OF honor that you, you alone, are
the cause Of all the mischief you have
tired out eur patience" The princess
screamed and took refuge IN the en-
peror's room, whence the car came
out, a moment afterward, in a towering
rage, and, walking up to his son, told
him that she was entitled to his respect
if not to his affection, and that he adj
vised him 10 be careful or he would
prove it." Lofis Meikoff endeavored
to pacify the emperor, but was silenced
with gesture from Alexander. who,
taking the princess by the hand, led her
to the door. and returned to his apart
ment. Russian gossip, which has been
very profGse in commentaries upon the
great favor enjoyed by the princess for
some time. enlarges upon the conse-
quences Of this incident, generally
looked upon, however, as the symptom
of a definite rupture between the pres
ent and future sovereigns of all the
Russians, where all hope is lost that the
couusels Of the moderate party will be

MAXIMILIAN'S LAWYER.
Interesting Career OF Man Killed Re-
Gently by the Cars.

fnilauelpnla Ilmes
The body of the man who was run
over and killed by an engine of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
railroad, in the depot yard, about seven
five feet east of Sixteenth street, on
Friday, was yesterday identified as that
of Prof Louis Binel. a cultivated, esti-
mable Frenchman, residing in German
town. He was extensively known as
teacher of various languages and as
lecturer on French literature. The in
quest was held by Deputy Coroner
Beam. Testimony was given that the
professor was seen to go down Sixteenth
street to the railroad. He had pupils
in Wilmington, and it is supposed he
had entered the depot yard to take a
train and slipped and fell. The wheels
passed over his breast and arms. he
was about IS years of age, and was
native of Normandy, where his broth
ers yet reside. He was educated for
the bar and had the advantages of trav-
ell and comprehensive literary attain
ments. DuIiug the campaign by the
allied forces OF France and England
in the Crimea, Mr.. Binel acted as cor
respondent OF the Journal des Debdts of

lection as one of the commissioners
which accompanied the illfated EN-
peror Macmillan to Mexico at the time
of the French invasion, and he acted IS
the direct legal adviser of that monarch
concerning the provisions of the Code
Napoleon, in which he was deeply IN
terested.
After the ephemerai empire had met
its bloody extinguishment on the Cerro
des Campano near Queretaro, on June
Is, 1867, in the death of Macmillan,
Miramo, and Mejia. Prof. Binel came
to the United States. He sacrificed
large estate for his devotion to the lost
imperial cause and was almost penni-
less when he reached this country. In
Philadelphia he soon found acquaint-
ances, who assisted him in forming
classes in Languages and French liter
ature. His abilities were such that he
soon had pupils in Germantown, where
he located in the central part of the
city, and even in Wilmington. All his
available time was epgrosed IN bis la
bors, his classes being drawn from the
best circles. He became the owner OF
valuable property in Germantown. He
never married.

An April Fool.

One of our respected citizens is the
happy father of SIX girls, all bright and
sensible, and full of fun. To an init.
mate lady friend of these sisters one Of
our rising young bachelors was intro
duced at an evening party early last
week, and circumstances gave him
the pleasure of escorting her home.
The new acquaintance ripened quick ~
in the dark and showery spring night,
and when the swain had left his charge,
as he thought, at the paternal gate, he
had her promise to go riding with him
on Thursday. Il seems, however, that
the mischeivous young lady had not
only secured an introduction To young
Verdant under the assumed name Of
the six artless sisters, but had bid him
good night at their very gate. On
Thursday afternoon. therefore, the
happy youth secured a rich turnout
and called for his promised companion.
"Mis-is at home, | supposed" was the
inquiry. (Which one?" asked the lady at
the door. This was poser. Tn caller
learned that there were six Of she,
and in the parlor one by one the sisters
were paraded before him. In none of
them could he recognise the lady who
had promised to ride with him, and the
unsuspectipg maidens thought the
young man crazy, while he drove back
to the stable to pay for his 1st Of April
experience.

followed Peels lead in abandoning pro-
tective ideas. he was compelled 10 re-

secretary for some months thereafter

Girls Brought Up to Do Nothing.

Before the French revolution, the
members of the royal family and the
grand lords and ladies never thought OF
doing anything for themselves that
others could do for them. Taine, in
his Ancient Regime" gives curious
illustration of the effect of this enforced
helples sness. In the course OF con-
versation with Nine. Louise, the daugh-
ter of Louis XIV, who was a Carmelite
nun, Nine. de Genlis said, 81 should
like to know what troubled you most in
getting accustomed to your new profes-
SION" "You could never imagine"
she replied. at was the descen of a
small flight of steps alone by myself.
At first it seemed to me dreadful preci-
pice, and | was obliged TO sit Gown on
the steps and slide down IN that atti-
tude." The princess had never descend
ed any staircase save the grand one at
Versailles, and, only that while leaning
on the arm of noble cavalier. The
steep and winding steps of the convent,
therefore, seemed appalling when she
had to descend them alone. A story is
told of the Duchess of Edinburg, the
daughter of the Gar of Russia, which
exhibits similar training. Shortly
after her marriage with Victoria's SOD,
the duchess was entertained at noble
mans house. A party was made up to
visit the extensive greenhouses, u e
duchess leading, as was her right, the
way. In passing up the narrow aisle OF
one of the houses, the royal lady came
to closed door. The passage was too
narrow for any of her suite to pass her
and open the door, and she stood as mo-
tionless as statue. "Oblige me-" said
the duke in whisper, by sending
some one around to open the door from
the other side, for she'll not open it if
she stands there for month" 1t may
excite smile to read such illustrations
as these of the physical helplessness
involved in the etiquette of royal house
holds, and we fear that training SINH
lar 10 kind, if not in degree, MARKS
many American families. In recent
sermon the Rev. Washington GLADDEN.,
of Springfield, Mass, spoke of some
American girls who are brought up to
learn nothing and do nothing. He re.
ferred to one wo nan who was proud
that her daughter never did any sweep
ing, and to another who never let her
daughter do any kitchen-work. Such
training must foster selfishness and in
dolence, and loss both of respect and
of true regard for others.
