APrince Without Nerves.

1t is little less than miraculous
that ii man so far advanced In years
as Prince Charles of Prussia should
find at his command reserves OF VI
talty and recuperative force ena-
bling him 10 yet over SO severe an
accident as befell His Royal High
ness some weeks ago. We are glad,
however, TO learn that the recovery
of this venerable prince, who enter
ed upon his S2nd year toward the
end Of last June, is now pronounced
complete by his surgical attendants,
and that his return from Cassel to
Berlin has been decided upon. 1t
is more than probable that the reso-
luton and selt-control of which
Prince Charles gave SO many proofs
during his early childhood have in
no inconsiderable degree contribute
ed TO pull him through the pain and
tedium of an injury so difficult 10
deal with as IA fractured thigh.
Among the many anecdotes related
OF his sang-froid and steadiness OF
nerve as "a boy is the following: On
the both of October, 1911, the prince
being then 10 years and 4 months
old, he was dining at Wustrau cas-
tie with Count Zieten, the only son
of Frederick the Greats renowned
cavalry general. His host was
very eccentric person-inveterately
addicted to practical joking, and up
on the occasion alluded TO had pre-
pared an unusually startling sur
prise for the juvenile Prince. Count
ZieteE rose during dinner to propose
the health of 'the King" and as
the words left his lips a whole bat
tery of field-guns, which had been
posted Just under the dining-room
windows. was fred off at a volley
Everybody present started, except
the Prince upon whom his hosts
e;;es were steadily fixed. Observ-
ing with grim satisfaction that the
royal lad did not even wink, Zieten
turned toward him with the ques-
ton: Not afraid of cannon, eh,
your royal highness ?" Pointing to
the walls of the apartment, lavishly
adorned with portraits of officers of
the famous Zieten hussars-the
regiment of which his son, Frederick
Charles, always wears the scarlet
uniform-Prince Charles quietly re-
piled; Certainly not in such COM
pany as this !" and went on with
his dessert as though nothing unu-
sual had been done or said.

General Lees Home.

Most visitors to Washington go
over to the National Cemetery at
Arlington, stroll about that beauti-
full city of the nations martyrs and
wander through the stately old man
sion which was once the home OF
Gen. Robert (. Lee, says the Provi-
dence Press. As they stand upon
the broad and lofty portico and look
out across the beautiful Potomac
upon most charming view of the
national capital, it is one of the most
natural of reflections that the conse-
Grafton of this estate to be the last
resting place of SO many thousands
of the patriot dead, while the proud
family that once occupied 1t and
which bore a name so honored In
the history of the country has be-
come scattered, is but just retribu-
ton for their unfsithfulness to their
country in the hour of Its peril. We
presume that the general inference
or supposition of the casual visitor
is that the property was conhscated
on account of its owners disloyalty.
Such was not the case, however. 1t
NAV be remembered that during the
war the government levied a direct
tax upon property in the southern
states, and when it was not paid,
and the federal officials could get
across to it, it was sold for these
taxes. When the direct tax was
levied on the Arlington estate, the
money to pay ii was rendered to the
agent of the United States, but be
refused to accept it on the ground
that the tax could be paid only by
the owner. The property was sold,
therefore, and purchased for the
United States. Now the courts have
decided that hi. sale was Illegal ;
that the tender of the tax ought TO
have been accepted, and that the
governments title to the property is
not a valid one. From TINS decision
the government has taken an appeal,
argument upon which is about 10 be
heard in the Supreme Court OF the
United States at Washington.
There is no doubt that the SUI
preme Court will sustain the ruling
of the lower tribunal, and 1t is evl-
dent that the government counsel
anticipates such action. since 1t is
reported that he is 10 take the posi-
ton that, where the government is
in possession of property, whether
wrongfully taken or not, the owner
cannot assert his title in court OF
law against an agent acting as its
custodian. but must go to Congress
and petition for redress. 1t is only
fair to the owners of this estate to say
that they have never asked to be put
in actual possession of the property.
They would not think of such a
thing as removing the cemetery or
occupying the place. They only
ask to be paid for it, and will prob
ably make the decree of the Su-
preme Court, if it shall be in their
favor, the basis of a demand upon
Congress for the money that's Justly
due them.
