How the Old Duke Died

The Grand Duke Frederick Francis, OF
Mecklenburg- Schwerin, who recently passed
from the world, kept full consciousness to the
last, and took an affectionate farewell of his
mother (sister of the Emperor William, and
now SO years of age), her wife, his personal
attendants, ministers and others present. Pro-
lessons Thlerlelder, of Rostock; Winternitz,
of Schwerin had stated on Saturday evening
that there was no hope of recovery, and early
on Sunday morning the Grand Duke asked
his physicians to tell him plainly the truth,
adding that he as an old soldier was not
afraid of death, which he had faced often
enough in battle. Having received their re-
ply he took the Holy Communion together
with his wife and mother, and expired at 10: 90
a. m, amidst the sounds of Bach's beautiful
choral, "If depart from life depart Thou
not from me" sung by the choir Of the cathe-
dral at the express desire Of the dying Grand
Duke.

hear Mr.. Herbert Spencer on the point, if

As A place of winter resort New Orleans
has many attractions. The climatic charm
invests that city with seductive enchan tment
that is peculiarly its own, and is unmatched
by any other city. Yet it is impossible to
designate any wide difference between New
Orleans and other Southern cities in respect
to climate. There is no one who has ever
resided in New Orleans but feels that there
is difference. Go where else you will and
the spell dissolves, the Je ne c'est quot is
absent, and the attractions incident to ordi-
nary city life fail to make up for the loss Of
that Undesirable something which can not
be borrowed, nor inflated. The gulf breeze,
the lake breeze and the river breeze are all
delicious and balmy airs, but are yet found
elsewhere, or other ailluent breezss that fill
the bill to wasteful luxury in airs. There are
social delights which find edge and character
in the earnest and untiring hospitality that
distinguishes her citizens. It's home city
for traffic, her commerce and trade are in the
keeping of business men who infuse the right
spirit and keep trade healthy. What then it
is that makes New Orleans par excellen ce
the city of the South is less obvious than wha
it is not Opera houses and the draml, W it'll
balls and all the varieties Of winter festiva
abound, but these are exclusive privileges no
where. We are perhaps half FESTIVE for
dash OF New Orleans life.

HURRYING ON.

We wonder if il occurs to no one else as il
often does to us, that there may be question
able wit in the design, now in full blast, Of
filing up this country from the Canada line
to the Mexican border with dense popula-
ton, like that of Europe by means of immi-
grafton superadded to births. We would not
deny single immigrant home, nor close the
door against any who desire to come and in
log cabins and by roadsides take pot luck in
a venture for better fortune. But we doubt if
there is the thrift supposed in hurrying on the
work Of population when another century
may find US without spare home for our
selves. The slow and gradual advance to
that condition would be safer. The purs uit
of happiness is the proper business Of life,
and nothing denotes that it is promoted by
the means we recite. Doubtless the arts and
sciences, improvement and discovery,
wealth and splendor, advance with
population, but that the happi-
ness Of the people is promoted
by it is not shown. In the old days Of stage
coaches and IS cent letter postage, when
slow was the word and leisure the settled rule,
there was larger aggregate OF happiness
and an immense surplus of contented miad
It is less than probable that homes have now
more enjoyments or social life more charms,
while extraordinary resources for happy life
are signaly rare. The fact is living fast is
not necessarily living to any good purpose
nor even always living well, while habit wants
the opportunity for quiet, and WEAKNESS for
rest.

Coroner Sperry is industriously investi-

NORWAY, Oct 26.
The safe of the Norway Grand Trunk
depot was blown open by burglars Thursday
night They broke in the freight house at
South Paris and got an iron bar which they
brought to and left At Norway. They forced
the knob and thus made room for powder.
They got about so. the agent. Mr.. Waters,
having fortunately taken out 800 in the
evening and taken it to his house. Books,
papers and tickets were scattered over the
floor Of the Office. One check was left on
the floor. A number Of suspicious charac-
tiers have been seen around the station for
the past few days. The station was entered
in much the same manner last spring. The
robbers forced the window with jimmy.
The room ia = small one with bay window
The desk is against the window The burg
lars pulled the safe out from the wall. tipped
it over on some blocks that they evidently
brought with them and by means Of pinch
bar used on railroads tor pulling spikes from
the rails pulled the knob out and in the hole
thus made poured the powder. The safe
door was blown open and the inner door
pried open. The explosion was severe and
completely shattered the safe front. Those
who have seen the Office think the windows
must have been open or the glass would have
been blown out. The safe was rified and
tickets were strewn over the floor. The
exact money taken was four ten dollar gold
pieces, one FIVE dollar gold piece and the rest
to the amount of s67 in small bills and silver.
The thieves also took a small Morocco case
filled with cards with the name of the station
agent Z. ID. Watkins. Owing to the rush of
business during the day Mr. Watkins had not
made his usual daily remittance. The
amount was $3.50 up to Thursday noon.
Thursday noon Mr.. Watkins made up his
accounts and balanced the books. He left
the money in the safe but went back and
took it out in the evening.

AN IMPORTANT LEGAL POINT.
Are Individuals Liable for Town Debts
Has the BOndholder Any Rem.
edy Against Individuals.
SKowHEGAN, Oct. &c.


A novel question as to the inability of res
idents in towns for the debts of those corpor-
ations has arisen in the town of Embden by
the seizure Of the personal property of Geo
Fans, a wealthy resident of that town, upon
an execution in favor of Mrs Savage and
running against the town. The seizure was
made by Deputy Sheriff Clapp of North An
son, and it is expected that a suit will be
brought by Mr. Fans to test the question of
the legality of such seizures. The same
question has been discussed in relation to
the Wiscasset railroad bonds.
