Royalty in the Composing Room.

1t was my destiny once to engage the
deceased Prince Leopold, Duke of AL
hany. in long conversation, writes
London correspondent. In the fall of
1879 Prince Leopold, accompanied by
his former tutor, Canon Duckworth,
visited the Office of one of the largest
of the London morning newspapers, on
the staff of which was at that time
employed. was deputed by the pro-
prietors to show the Prince over the
building, a task which occupied about
three hours; for the Prince not only de-
sired to see everything that was to be
seen there. but to have 1t explained to
him in detail. The poor old canon be-
came quite wearied of the inspection,
and once or twice limited at the pro-
priety of quitting, until the Prince
told him plainly that he was not dis
posed to harry. When passing through
the composing room, the Prince dumb
founded one of the compositors by
asking him for the loan of his compos-
ng-stick. OF course the Princes re-
quest was at once complied with, when
his Royal Highness proceeded to still
further astonish the typos by setting two
or three lines from a page of manu-
script which lay on the case. 1t was
evident that the Prince was perfectly
acquainted with the arrangement of the
cases and could compose type with
ease.
Court etiquette requiring that no one
who has not been officially introduced
shall put any question to any royal
parsonage. was precluded asking for
the explanation l 50 ardently desired to
have. Noticing, suppose. my puzzled
expression, the Prince proceeded to en-
tighten me- He had learned practical
printing. he said, when young boy, at
his uncle's In Germany. and had spent
five weeks at the task.
There il no historic custom in the
royal family of England. as there is in
that of Germany, requiring every
prince to 60 through the farce of pre-.
tending to learn trade, hence Prince
Leopold's knowledge of printing must
have been voluntarily acquired. That
the late Duke of Albany was an &C
complished linguist and musician was
generally known, but think it has
been reserved for me to publish, for the
first time, that to his other acquire
ments must be added the art Of the
compositor. LONDON Letter.

An AriStOcratic Dog.

The dog which so gloriously distin-
guished himself by giving warning OF
the fire at the Holman has again been
heard from: but this time in a matter
not so heroic as the first attempt. Ev-
identity the praises won by his intelli-
gent act mentioned have SO turned his
head that the habits of the canine mob
and common herd are distasteful to
him As Columbus Avenue car was
turning into fremont Street in its up
town trip the other day, it made the
usual halt, and a medium-sized dog
stepped aboard. Escaping the notice
of the conductor, he jumped upon the
cushion and gravely seated himself with
the other passengers. After the car
started the conductor noticed his fare,
and stepping to the gentleman who sat
next to the dog, informed him that the
animal could not ride. The reply was
given that the dog was stranger to
him, and the conductor proceeded to
eject his four-footed passenger. The
dog put on the amiable look that fol-
lows the command to .'move up on the
left there" so naturally, and resisted
the attempt to disiodge him so dog
gedly, that lady who recognized the
animal as he came into the car recited
his history to some of the passengers,
and at their earnest request he was
allowed his seat, while further devel-
opments were watched. His dogship
rode i'm stately dignity, only needing a
pair of glasses and journal to enable
him TO fraternize with his fellow-pas-
sengers, until the car stopped at Berke.
ley Street, when all eyes were turned
upon him; but no signs OF alighting.
The lady commenced to think it was a
case of mistaken identity, but as the
car started the dog coolly stepped to
the floor, and. waiting until tine plat
form was opposite the main entrance
of the Hoffman. which is perhaps two
hundred feet from where the Cal
stopped, wagged his tail to the con.
ductor, with a .'tra la, old man, don't
stop on my account" sprang off and
ran up the steps. Inquiry Of the Gle
vator boy at the Hoffman reveals the
fact that for some time the dog has re
fused to walk up stairs, but has waited
for the elevator or has signaled for it by
whining or crying. Theories are left te
logicians and metaphysicians. The
facts can be substantiated by number
of witnesses. -BostO1 Journal.

About Mr.. Gould.

A Chicago paper says that Mr.. Jay
Gould lost S2,O00,OO0 in the furry.
A Cleveland paper says his losses are
fully S2,5OO,0O0.
A Buffalo paper says he cried when
he figured up and found himself 3d.
100000 short.
A Toledo paper says he "merely
smiled when informed that he had lost
So, 100000.
A Cincinnati paper says he sat upon
The edge of his chair and bit his finger
nails when informed that his shrinkage
would figure up S4,000,O0O.
A Detroit paper says that he glanced
at the tigures-s4,5 800, 0OO-and OBJ
served that the boys seemed to be
having fun at his expense.
A Milwaukee paper says Mr.. Gould
can drop another S5,OO0.O00 and not
feel too poor to buy street-car tickets.
An Omaha paper says that Mr.. Gould
lost Sl5.00o,O00 inside of thirty-six
hours. and that it took two physicians
to save his life
There are several back counties to
near from yet, and. if Mr.. Gould has
anything left after the reports are all
in. he will probably invest it in Western
Union.-W Wall Street NeUs.
