Mile. Grevy, daughter of the French minis
ter, who has just been married, seems con-
tentented enough in a quiet way, although
were she really happy she is one OF thos
nervous, impulsive, excitabe young woven
who would not hesitate to show it. cir
cannot be expected to "enthuse" over man
she has known from childhood, and never,
until recently, ever looked upon in the light OF
/ future husband. AS matter of fact, Mile.
Grevy has had her romance; sown her senti-
mental wild oats, as M. Daniel Wilson has his
passionate ones, and now both are content to
wed and be comfortable in decorous, bour-
geois sort of fashion. The hero of Mile.
Alice's girlish dreams was that excessively
vulgar person Capoul, the tenor, who appear
ed to her painted by fancy, in heroic proper
lions and glowing colors. Matters went on so
far that she stamped her foot-which is
neither small nor pretty, by the way,-and in
sisted that Victor, who always reminds men
of barber, should be accepted as her fiance +.
M. Grevy made it condition of the marriage,
however, that the tenor should relinquish
the stage, on hearing which ultimatum Capoul
coolly proposed that certain sum, equivalent
to what he would gain from his public appear
ances, should be settled upon him as an annu-
ity. This mercenary proposition cost him the
heart and hand of Mile. Grevy, for it con-
WINGED that sensible girl he could scarcely
make it and Glove her for herself alone" She
told her papa that she would no longer insist
on the mesalliance. She sent Victor back the
lock cut from his bang, and, after decent
period of mourning, she has now definitely
accepted the brother of the lady whom her
! paper holds in such affectionate esteem.
NASHVILLE girls are whispering to one an

which local Juliet and Louisville Romeo
bear the leading parts. The young persons
| concerned met last August at the Blue Lick
resort, and while drinking the bitter waters
| they slipped the sweets wherewith Cupid con-
ceals small heartburnings and little agonies
innumerable The upshot of the counting at
the springs was that the girls father refused
to countenance the lovers suit. The old gen.
| tleman's natural deafness was intensified a
hundred-fold in the young mans case. Father
and daughter returned to Nashville, and, Oc-
tober having passed without further trouble
in the matter, the former began to look upon
the case as an incident of midsummer mad
ness-easily on and lightly off. Therefore
when, on Tuesday of last week, he was asked
by his daughter to drop in on his way down
town and deliver note to clergyman he
compiled without suspicion of what would
| follow. The note contained a request that the
clergyman should call upon the young woman
that morning. He went to the house and in
the parlor found party Of young folks, GEN.
trail among whom were the Louisville lover

travelling. The preacher was surprised that
he should be called upon to marry them on
such short notice, but as the bride was under
her fathers roof in broad daylight and as the
father himself had delivered the summons
he performed the ceremony without unneces-
sary ado. The girls mother was rocking con-
tentedly in her sitting room overhead, oblivious
of the proceedings few yards away. The few
guests and witnesses dispersed quietly and the
bridal party walked to the depot, whence in

THE giant evils which the people of Ireland
are striving to uproot are the growth and de-
velopment of centuries. The existing land
laws extended from and are the offspring OF
the feudal system, established by William the
Conquerer and his successors in the eleventh
and twelfth centuries. Since those days a
continued struggle has gone on, the people,
assisted by the lawyers seeking to modify
them, or to find out means OF evading them,
the great mobiles and sovereigns who were in
terested in them seeking TO maintain or re-
establish their stringencies. Sometimes one
party gained ground in the struggle, and
sometimes another, but as time went on the
growing interests of the nation and the in
creasing power Of the middle classes effected
many notifications. Then broke out, the
great French revolution of 1889. 1t found the
feudal system existing in much greater strin-
gency abroad than in Great Britain and Ireland,
and causing infinitely more misery among the
middle and lower classes in foreign countries
than the modified laws were doing in Great
Britain and Ireland. 1t swept away the feu-
dial laws first in France, Belgium and Holland,
then in Germany and the neighboring part of
Italy; but it did not affect the modified feudal
land laws which still existed in Great Britain
and Ireland. The great estates broke up on
| one side of the British channel, but on account
of the notifications which had been submitted
| to upon the other side they not only continued
to exist, but they also continued greatly to
increase IN size and greatly to diminish in
numbers. There are three classes Of these
| laws: FfrSt-The laws which allow a land
owner by his deed or by his will, to prevent
his land being sold or seized or lessened in size
