George l.. King of the HellencS.

Seldom has young king had SO APP
parently difficult task before him as
Young Prince William of Denmark
when ia 1868 lie accepted the offer OF
the Grown of Greece. One foreign
sovereign, Ohio of Bavaria, had already
been tried, and being found lamentably
wanting, had been deposed by revo-
luton, of which the embers were
still smoldering, when two European
princes, Prince Alfred of England and
the Duke of Schleswig- Holstein, had
successfully declined the honor of
succeeding him and undertaking the
weighty task of restoring order to the
kingdom disorganized by the misrule
of courtlers and favorites, and by tinan-
cial ENHANCEMENT, an inevitable couse-
quence of bad government. Moreover,
from the earliest period of their history,
the Greeks have never been an easy
people to govern, and when outside
Influences, such as the continual bick-
erings and quarrels with the Turkish
Government, were taken in considera-
ton, the task was somewhat formidable
for a lad of seventeen. This task has
been well fulfilled, and we doubt
whether any sovereign in Europe is
more popular with his subjects than
George, King of the Hellenes. The
King is now thirty-four years of age,
having been born on December 81 1915.
He is the second son of the King and
Queen of Denmark, but on his accept
ance OF the Crown of Greece, June 6,
1868, he renowned any rights that he
might have to the Danish throne in
favor of his younger brother. On the
9th of the same month the Greek AS
sembly declared him to be of full age
to reign. and on October 80, 1868, King
George arrived in Athens. From that
day His Majesty has devoted himself
heart and soul to the benefit of his
adopted country.
In 1865 he gave up third of his
Civil List in order to relieve the Treas
ury, and next year Greece became in
volved in the Cretan insurrection, witE
which his subjects openly sympathized,
atfording material assistance to the in
surgents, until in 1868 diplomatic
relations were broken off with Turkey,
only to be. resumed through the inter
vention of the Paris Congress in the
following year.
During the Russo Turkish war, King
George had no little trouble in keeping
his subjects quiet, so anxious were they
to join in the fray, pay off old scores,
and regain further portion of their
former territory now under the domin
ion of the hated Mussulman. The war
over, the negotiations with the Porte
| for the extension of the frontier caused
intense popular excitement, which at
one time could only be Gained by the
Kings personal Intervention.
King George, in 1867, was married to
| the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia,
the daughter of the Cars brother, the
Crank Duke Constantine, and has five
children. The Oldest boy, heir to the
throne, is entitled the Duke of Sparta.
In June last he visited England, and
designed paying his respects to the
Gar in St. Petersburg, but the condi
ton of affairs at home produced by
results of the late Berlin Conference
necessitated the curtailment of his com-
bined business and pleasure trip.

Lady's Maids and "ChaWIes.'

There has been much correspondence
OF late OF the grievance sort concerning
men servants and maid-servants. It is
trite. indeed, to remark that there are
faults on both sides, 1. e., on that of the
masters and mistresses, as we'll as on
that of their dependents; but how great
and glaring they sometimes are is
scarcely creditable. Nevertheless, the
following examples can be vouched
for:

turquoises, concerning which she re-
quested her opinion. 81 think it is

her claret velvet dress which becomes
her admirably, and with tho necklace
l think she will be-what she always
should be-the best dressed lady's maid
in the ROOM"
Mrs. b was too wise a woman to
suggest that velvet dresses and tur-
quoise necklaces were not, perhaps, the
most judicious gifts that could be be-
slowed upon lady's maid; but, upon
q subsequent occasion, happening to
meet Julia, she expressed a hope that
she had enjoyed her evening at the
dukes.
Yes, ma'am, it was beautiful, and
everybody was SO polite. Indeed, I've
always fould that the Ugh born SER

That use of the term thigh born
in transferable sense is surely very
pretty!

W. D, whose name has long been
associated with London society, wen.

announced his intention of returning to

"GJod heavens!" said his host ;
"why, you promised me to stay a

"No," stammered the old buck, it's
not exactly that; it's something that has
happened here. only I'd rather nos tell

"Pray tell me-" said the earl; "it

The general impression in the East
is that the interior, nce of the European
Powers in TURKISH aft airs will amount
to nothing more than naval demon
stration. The Sultan laughs at the
idea OF force being used, and the AL
bapians are prepared to enter on a
campaign of bloodshed aud pillage as
soon as any provocation is given. This
state of affairs is anything but fatter-
ing to the self-esteem of the powers.
aud it is evident that Beaconstield's

prestige of England and her associates,

PROSPERITY DANdEROUs.--Alm any
man can staud adversely, but is takes
strong mind to grapple with sudden
prosperity. An instance of that comes
from Washington. Augustin j. Am
bier pisssd Friday night in Jail, sleep
ing off the effects of big spree. He
was man of rare ability, and invented
many useful things. One device for
smelling ore had fortune in it. But
Amber had no money, and he took in
company couple OF st. Louis men,
aud they in turn took him in. They
patented the invention in their own
n.mes and let Amber amble out in the
cold. He sued them and for years the
suit went on. Resclutely for years the
determined man fought the wealthy
swindlers from one court to another.
Suddenly, last June, to his own aston,
ishment, he won the case, being awarded
1875 shares in the Company and S60,-
43i in cash The success turned his
head, and he has been drunk ever since.
He was sent to jill for twenty days
Ecchange.

This is bad year for big feet, and
many are the devices in French heels
and blind soles for making skies broad
look like threes narrow. Numerous,
too, are the coquetries by means of
which shapely feet are displayed with
propriety. 1t is a sentimental custom
for young men to write their names,
and something soft, on the soles of the
girls shoes. You come across couples
in the angles of Railways, in the cor.
ners of verandas, and on the beach, fill
ing out these novel autograph albums.
The girl grasps neutrality-suspicious.
the young mans shoulder-to steady
herself, and coyly holds her foot bot
tom upward, while he squats and tickles
her sole with the point of his pencil.
This is not only pleasing to the pair,
but makes great sport for the specta.
tors. The writing wears off in an even
inR's daLcing,. and the shoe is then
ready for the next fellows The custom
is encouraged by the girls with little
feet. One who was not 80 fortu nate
stood in a Rowland house corridor,
gracefully posed against the wall, with
spacious bottom of her shoe spread
out before an enamored swain who had
his pencil thoughtfully suspended. Her
hardened brother came along. "Put
on the Declaration of Independence, :"
he said; "there's room for it, with all
the signatures" The girl took her foot
away Immediately, because she wanted
