The rule forbidding prince to cons
tract marriage with woman of in
ferior rank is vigorously observed in
Germany. Prince Alexander, of Witt
genstein. however, has refused to allow
it to stand In his way, He fell in love
with the governess of his children. As
prince, he could at best confer upon
her only the doubtful position Of a NOR
ganatic spouse. He has therefore re-
nounced his hereditary title:
A writer in the Troy Press says of
Bret Harte's father, whom he met year 8
ago when Harte was private tutor oftwo
of his playmates: II remember him
well-a very pleasant gentleman. He
married q girl out of the mill. She was
one of the Most beautiful girls l ever
saw, as handsome as a doll, but had no
education. Her husband educated her,
and she became one of the finest ladies
in Hudson"
When Texas was fighting for her indie
pendence against Santa Anna, Jonathan

| rangers. Green is now 70 years of age.

blackleg, but reformed forty years ago,
| made restitution of moneys he had won,
| and published a book exposing tricks
with cards. He became preacher and
was looked upon as u good man in Phil
adelphia, where he has lived for several
years past with a young wife and eight
man was arrested for swindling a confid-
jail awaiting trial. Truly. the upward
| path is creased to the feet of sinners.

for girls at Troy, N. Y, was long famous,
and who died recently, the Troy Times
says: "Her presence and personal in:
an example and education to them.
She taught them that intellectual grasp
and force may coexist with all womanly
grace and attractiveness. The quiet in
| f1uence thus exerted has helped to re-
fine scores Of homes, and during her de-
| Ginning years she had many acknowledge
ments Of gratitude for this almost I'M
conscious instruction which flowed from
her pure and gentle love-" ...
