ny l.. W. G..
The betrothal and marriage of the
Princess Charlotte of Russia with
Nicholas, who was then n grand duke
Russia, forms one Of the sweetest and
most romantic love episodes in the
world of European courts, which Is
usually SO devoid of love and romance,
and would on that account alone de-
serve being remembered, quite regard
less of the historical interest which
will heneforth adhere to all the mem
bers OF the family OF the conquerer OF
France. Princess Charlotte was born
In the year l79S, and was the eldest
daughter of King Frederick William
the Third of Prussia and his beautiful
and accomplished wife, Queen Louisa.
Her early childhood was spent amid
scenes of terror and humiliation for
the royal family of Prussia, and
nobody would at that time have
/ ventured to predict for her
kept In store for this child, born and
brought up under such fatal auspices
| We might. indeed. make an exception
in fnyor of her mother. who with tint
prophetic intuition which seems 10
have been the distinpulshinp feature
of that hlgh-minded woman. wrote
one day to her father, the duke of
Mecklenburg, the following lines about
his DAUGHTER. "Charlotte ia given tn

The Ballot BOX.

A recent editorial in Harpey's Weekly treats
with power and truth the subject of the pol
