.sUnser Fritz" Among the Southern Ger.
mans.

French diplomacy had reckoned upon
alliances with Italy, with Austria, with
Russia perhaps, but more than all upon
the neutrality of The two German king
doms-Bavaria and Wurtemberg. NoEe
of these hopes were fulfilled. The Ger
man people stood together with an en-.
thusiasm almost unprecented. One
supreme command only, that of the
Prussian King, directing the eager
masses Of CONTESTANTS, and his son was
selected to lead the corps from South
Germany, together with due propos-
portion of Prussians. From the first he
was their favorite. With what affec-
tionate disposition distinguishes the
South Germans they called him sour
Fritz" "our Grown Prince" and enter
ed into conversation with him whenever
an occasion offered. One soft summers
evening, after the battles of Weisenburg
and Worth had been fought, and the
Army of the South was climbing
up the Vosges Mountains, or descending
from them, the Crown Prince was
sauntering leisurely about. q short pipe

village where halt hal been ordered.
Passing a closed barn. he fancied he
heard something like stump oratory in

matter of course all present rose, Bava-
rians and others. "Oh, no." said Frede-
rick William; "sit down; there will be
room for me to do the same, I dare say.

Pray, who was the speaker" All eyes
turned toward Q sergeant, whose very in.
telligent countenance, however, looked
sorely puzzled when the commander-in-
chief farther asked, And what were you
talking about?" Quickly recovering his
presence of mind, the sergeant confessed,
"Well, of course we were talking about
our victories, aud I was just explaining
to these young men how, four years ago,
II we had had you to lead us, We should
have made short work Of those conf
Prussians." The prince roared with
laughter, and continued chatting with
the party till far into the night.-Har-

WellingtOn's Heir.

The marriage OF COl. WelleSley 10 Aato
Vaughan, an actress of the Gaiety thea
ter, attracts wide attention both in Len
don and Paris. The case is one of the
most interesting that has been published
for long time. WellesleA at one period
of his life, might have been regarded as
the spoiled child of fortune. In appear
ance lie was q specimen of that splendid
and almost faultless beauty which is
sometimes to be seen in the men of the
English upper class-tall, thin, but mus
cular, fair-haired, and with features at
once delicate and distinguished. While
but comparative youth he had reached,
through the influence of his relatives, to
. position of colonel in the guards. Then
be was appointed attache at st. Peters
burg, at which place he became an &C.
quaintance and friend of poor j. A. Mac
Gahan, the celebrated American COR
respondent. After this Wellesley be-
came first military secretary at Vienna,
and then public opinion began to cry
out against the extraordinary favors that
were thus being heaped in such rapid
succession on the head of the young
soldier. He had, meantime, m arried
Lord Cowley's daughter, q marriage ap-
psrently suitable in age, rank and tastes.
Things went we'll till Wellesley paid q
long visit to London, and there he had
the misfortune to 60 to the Gaiety Thea
ter. This popular place OF amusement
is certainly, though not very large. per-
haps the most significant institution of
the kind in London. It is there that

pated youth--or, as they are now called,
our ''jeunesse stage dorey"-wait; and
ladies of the ballot, with a salary Of
about IS or $40 Q week, drive up in
coaches and four.
Kate Vaughan had long been the belle
of the theater. She had no histrionic
ability. She had scarcely any voice, but
she had Q grace in motion that certainly
may be described as wonderful. Before
she met Wellesley she had already won
many hearts, and indeed, when he made
her acquaintance for the first time, was
on friendly terms with another member
of the aristocracy. From the latter she
agreed, after some persuasion, to fly
with Wellesley. The sequel to the
whole business came few days after
ward, when Col. Wellesley was brought
before the divorce court by his wife,
made no defence. and, Of course, was inn
medistely non.suited. After travelling

The Herman Crown Princes First Visit
70 England.

The visit to England to take part in
the opening Of the first international
Exhibition Of 1851, to which reference
has been made once before, waa not the
only journey undertaken during the stu
dent life OF 1862. Yet it renamed the
most important. He had occasion there
TO hear his own stern father expatiate,
and msrrily, too, upon the evident posi-.
bility Of assembling hundreds and thou
ands Of people without any military pre-
cautions, with scarcely policeman Wis
ible, and yet without disorder OF any
kind, the sole condition being that they
should feel thoroughly contentsd. II
my memory serves me right, the morn
ine after that "Peace Festival" (as Queen
viotoris sptly ealls it) vas the hrst
known In London when no single case

occupied the police courts. No accident
had occurred among zoe, 900 persons as
sembled outside the exhibition building.
The young prince was struck with the
loyalty of free people. He observed
with growing admiration the rest
less and unselfsh industry OF
the prince consort. He felt at
tracted by the air OF perfect domestic
happiness pervading the heart and core
and focus of the greatest empire the
world has yet seen. It was then too that,
standing before q picture of Titan. he
observed to his companion: lis thefel
not q strong likeness between that saint
to the left and the Princess Royal?" Per-
haps this question was intended to con-
vey the impression that he too, like 80
many others, had given first and will
ing thought to the fitness OF an alliance
with the daughter of such q house. More
probably it meant no more than the
words implied; nor did, for several years
to come, any utterances from either coun-
try break the silence. The very first
woodland not even a word but u sug-
gestion only-upon that wish of many
hearts was shaped, and in a manner
which reminds one of last century
esprit, by the Prussian envoy, my
father, in 1852, during a visit to London
of the princes mother, now empress of
Germany. This journey had been under
taken to see her aged aunt, Adelaide.
Dowager queen of England. On the last
morning of her stay the table in her
anteroom, in which the minister was
awaiting her leisure, had been filled to
overlooking with splendid engravings
sent by various London print sellers Just
before the Princess af Prussia appeared
he had been looeing at the famous pic
ture of Waterloo with the farm house Of
La Belle Alliance in the middle, from
which farm. house, as is well-known, the
Prussians have affectionately named the
historic battle. He observed various
portraits of the Princess Royal and of
Prince Frederic William lying about the
room. Placing then with some precip-
itation, one of each, over!the large en-
craving of the battle, he quilted the
table to bow to the august parsonage on
her entrance. His movement had, how
ever, been observed. The Princess, ad.
vanced to the table, perceived the two
bonny youthful countenances smiling at
her from out of the engravings, and
underneath three momentous words, La
Belle Alliance. A rapid glance was ex-
changed, but nothing said. This little
scene remains, think, typical to the
present day. For the purpose which
these two true-hearted and experienced
persons had striven perseveringly for,
viz, solid understanding among cog
nate races-peace and goodwill between
England and Germany, and that good
will sealed and cemented by every token
of brotherhood capable Of enhancing
sentiment and of preparing q better fu-
ture-that purpose must continue to
hold high place in the feelings and,
would venture to say. the duties OF
statesmen of either nation as long ~

Diphtheria in Milk.

The dangers to which jewellers in
towns and cities are sometimes ex-
posed, in consequence of the gross
carlessnes or ignorence of their
country providers, is strikingly
shown by a recent outbreak of gen.
uine diphtheria in Henson, Eng
land. Fifteen residents were VIC
lent|y attacked the same day. On
investigation it appeared that all of
them had milk of the same dealer,
and that there were no other cases
of the disease in the town, except
ing those supplied from this dairy.
On pushing the inquiry further it
was found, pot only that there was
diphtheria in the family of the
milkman, but that the cans were
rinsed with water from foul and
dirty stream that ran by the house
and yard; and a microscopic exami.
nation of the water revealed tie
presence Of living organisms sup.
posed to be the cause of diphtheria
in general. This is said to be the
first time, at least in England, that
this disease has been directly and
Enthusiastically traced to infection
by milk, although there has before
been good reason to suspect it.

the procession was at least ten
miles long and was very fine. In
Minneapolis nine companies Of the
Second and six companies of the
First regiments constituted the mil.

a splendid display was made Of the
manufacturing industries, the pro-
cession being at least Is miles in

in both cities numbered fully 200,

How Watch Cases are Mqdb.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast DIFF
ference in Inequality Of them. InaSo11D
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
safy thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-6tting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James BOSE Gold Watch Case - ~ ,,..,.
which saves the WASTE Of need Is q

reduces the cost ONE HALF.
