A Wise Princess,

The Vienna papers say that the prin-
cess DolgOrouka, the morganatic wife of
the late Gear, arrived in Vienna from st.
Petersburg on Wednesday morning, the
10th ultilnu, and went on the same day
with her three children To Italy. The eN-
press train takes titty-mine hours and
three-quarters to traverse the interval be
tween Vienna and s.. Petersburg and it
was therefore calculated that the Princess
must have left st, Petersburg two hours
after her husband 5 death, She no doubt
awaited herself Of the general confusion to
quit the Winter Palace unnoticed, and
traversed Russia under u false name
Her fear was lest she would he put into II
convent and separated from her children.
Her future i. very sufficiently assured

lodged to her credit in II Berlin bank

TWIN BURGL1RS-
A Young Theological Student and
HIS Brother Attempt burglary
One Of Them Killed.

oue OF Ihem Killed.
LAWRENCE, Mass, April l3.-Early this
morning Abiel Wilson,, residing on the
Salem turnpike, was awakened by foot
steps in his house. Soon after his cham
Der door was burst open by two persons.
Wilson discharged a rifle, shooting one of
the intruders. Both fled, but the dead
body of the one shot by Wilson was found
a short distance from the house and
proved TO be that Of Arthur Foster, a stu
dent at the Phillips Academy. His ac-
complete was his twin brother, Luther
also student.
The latter after the shooting appeared
and made full confession. They were
residents of North Andover, Mass, and
the sons OF most respectable parents.
About three weeks previously they had
attempted to enter the same place.
Further investigation OF the crime and its
tragic result shows that Arthur Foster
was theological student studying for
the ministry and that, ON completing his
studies at the Phillips Academy, he in
tended to enter the Andever Theological
Seminary. By the confession of the sur
riving brother, it appears that the pair
entered and robbed Wilson's place six
months ago, securing LOCO i'll money
and gold watches. ...#-
Mr.. Wilson had in his room some
$685. worth of stocks, bonds and other
securities, the property being under no
other protection than the owners rifle.
The object Of the men was to secure, if
possible, all his booty, intending to re-
sort to violence ii necessary to aceomp
lish their end. Both had previously
been in Wilson's employ and had no diff

premises. The dead burglar was only u
years old. 1t is now thought that other
robberes hereabouts Were committed by
the Fosters.

. Greece in. Doubt.

LONDON, April 16.---The following is the
text of the Greek note in reply to the
proposals of the Powers
sfIn view. of the invitation of the
Powers to accept the new line of frontier,
and in view of the present difficulties and
future dangers, Greece. has asked herself
whether her acceptance will lead to
speedy and peaceful solution OF the ques-
ton. As the past leads US to doubt this
the Government needs to know whether
the new decisions will be executed imme-
diately or at least within brief interval
to be determined upon beforehand, and
to be enlightened AS to the guarantees
the Powers will give il on that point.
tGreece is DESTROYS for pence, and CRATE
full towards Europe for hereilorts to bring
about peaceful solution. She will,
moreover, lose no time in entering into
the possession OF the added territory, but
DESTROYS as she is to proceed i'll the path
of peace, she cannot abandon in their
present condition her children left out
side the new frontier, and she appeals un
the subject to the sense of justice OF the
Powers.
HOW THE rOwERs INTERPRET IA.
Semi official advices from Vienna con-
firm the statement that the Powers, after
inomentary hesitation ON account of the
unsatisfactory form of the Greek reply,
have decided to accept it as conveying
the readiness of Greece to abide by the
proposed line which, although not pre-
cisely that conceded by the Porte, has
beel accepted by the latter also.

to make it the aim of his life to have ven
geance upon every one of the guilty men.
He followed them from that day forth.
One of them was Hewitt, and him he had

Oh! clear and bright comes the Easter prime
Red is the East with the hast ming day,
Sweet is the air of the Easter uiorn,
And sweet the scent of the daisies pied
In dew-wet fields and woodlands gray,
Where the golden king-cups sleep unborn,-
Where violets meath the pansiea hide
And the field lark calls unto his bride.
Oh ! soft and sweet is the Easter chime
Solemn the swell OF the matin hymn,
Full are the hearts of the kneeling throDg,
And full the voice OF the surpliced priest,
As bowed in the chancefs archway dim,
He chants In measured tones the song,
Telling the tale of the Sacred East,
And breaks the bread Of the paschal feast
Sunday Morning star.

Military matters are now becalmed, ex-
cept so far as the Postles Rifles are con-
cemed. This company has been actively
engaged during the past week in prepar-
ing its room In the Masonic Temple, and
has completed its lockers. Bets are now
even that it will have its room thoroughly
furnished and completed ahead of the Du-
Pont Guards.
The Rifles are anxiously awaiting the
commissions for their officers. The COM
pany has not vet commenced regular
drill, but expects to make use of the large
drilling room in the fourth story, on
Wednesday evenings very soon.

Since the assassination of the Car, ex-
traordinary precautionary measures have
been taken to secure the safety of Queen
Victoria while travelling by railway. Dur
ing recent journey to London, a train of
empty carriages was run about quarter
of an hour in advance of the Queens spe-
cial train, which it piloted throughout
the trip from Windsor to Paddington,
while the entire distance between the
Windsor terminus and the metropolis was
guarded by platelayers stationed at regu-
lar intervals along the route, and well

The longest dream lasts less than three

He awakened ere the echo of the twelfth
stroke had died away, having in the
interval dreamed that he committed a
crime, was detected after five years, tried
and condemned. The shock of finding
the halter about his neck aroused him to
consciousness, when he discovered that
all these events had happened in an
iniiniteSmal fragment OF time. Mo-
hamcd, wishing to illustrate the wonders
of sleep, told how certain man, being a
Sheik, found himself, for his pride, made
a poor fisherman; that he lived as one for
sixty years, bringing up Il family and

The city of Dorango, in Mexico, has u

iron. 1t is two miles long,one mile wide,
and 100 feet high. On its surface,

estimate, zoe, Joe, 900 of tons of iron ready
to he placed in the smelling ovens that it
is proposed to put up at the foot of the
hill, A large part of the ore yields from
~ to ~ per cent. pure metal, and is easily
worked and converted into steel. Wood
for fuel in unlimited abundance is to be
had near by, and good water is likewise
accessible. Altogether, there seems to be
no reason why Durango should not be a

future, or even cast those cities OF iron
