The Princess Caroline, of Denmark,
who recently died in her eighty-eighth
wear. was a second cousin to Queen Vic
toria. The deceased PRINCESS was the
daughter of King Frederick VI, of Den
mark, and the wife of Prince Ferdinand,
of the same house. She had been
widow since 1863. Her fathers
mother was the Princess Caroline Ma
tilda, of England, and sister Of George
III She was born IN l7jl, and married
when only fifteen to Christian VII,
King Of Denmark. In l76S she became

protested, not guilty OF lntidellty 10

ager and another beldame OF
the roval house. They were abso-
mtists in theory. while the young Queen
favored "a representative government and
raised Struensee, the Court Physician,
10 the position Of Prime Minister. She
showed him many favors and was doubt
less far from discreet Finally the dow
ayers and their tools induced the weak
minded King TO believe that his wife had
BETRAYED hr4n. She was obviously more
fond of thc-brilliant young Minister than
of her besotted spouse, but, as she
claimed they We're only friends. Never

II happened shortly afterward that Mr.
MINIS cook had occasion to bake some

she might turn it to good account. and
accordingly, partly as fuel and partly rs

LIFE has its sorrows as well as ifs lows.
Woman IS the highest representatiye of
the emotions. Her temperament is
characterized by intensity, mans by
strength. Whatever she does She does
intensely. She wants to be good man
wants to be great. Love is the supreme
emotion of her nature. If it be rec;nro-
Gated by the object of her love She IS
happy. If the wife loves her husband
and knows that her love is reciprocated,
her life is a prolonged Joy. and her sac,
ritices for his happiness will amount tc
self-abnegation.

Champion Beer Drinkers.

Most people have always regarded the
Germans as the champion beer drinkers,
but now comes the Journal Of applied
Science to prove that this superstition
is false. While the annual consump-
ton of beer in Germany is twenty-five
gallons for every person, it is thirty
three gallons IN Belgium and thirty-four
in Great Britain. One by one our fond

The Recent siorn,.

1t eeems that the recent rain storm in
the upper Ohio Valley region was caused
by The meeting Of heavy clouds from the
west surcharged with vapor, and the cold
frosty wave from Canada and the upper
lakes on the 9Th. This cold wave had
produced frost in Northern New York,
and when it met the clouds Of vapor
moving eastwardly It caused an immense

ton was heaviest over the Allegheny and
its tributaries, and as 1t Is a very long
river, rising up in New York, It was soon
filled from bank to bank, and, together
with the rise In the Monongaheis, made
the recent tremendous food in the Ohio.
No estimate is yet possible Of the dam

Valley Of the Ohio, but 1t is known to be
very great in the way Of lumber carried

Of lumber is estimated at $3.50, 600, and

though they are manifestly rising. The
best evidence OF the rise 10 the facility
with, which striking operatives secure an
advance Of wages. And II may be added
that advancing wages imply and neceesi-
tate higher prices Of commodities. This
upward movement and the large transac.
tons In stocks do not necessarily imply
the neafness Of another breakdown In
general business. They may signify the
revival and growth Of q gambling spirit
which will eventually penetrate into
the channels OF legitimate trade and
produce 90 great imitation 10 the

recklesness Of running in debt for them,

We are informed that the agents Of one
or more irresponsible assessment insur.
ance organizations have been at work here
effecting risks on old persons, some Of
them In poor circumstances, and then
selling the risks az o speculation to who.
ever will buy. We should suppose that
no intelligent person would buy these
risks, al the courts have decided that only
the amount actually paid by spectators is
recoverable by them, the balance going to
the relatives OF the assured. This is sup.
posing that any amount whatever Is likely
to be recovered from the organizations re-
ferred to-7something that cannot be
counted on. Responsible organizations do
not take risks at alt on persons oil advanced

ious circumstance to see any one offering
to insure such persons. The associations
they represent are known in Pennsylvania
