Brussels, Of a foreign Prince who, since his
settlement within the domlnions Of King Leo
poId H., has been known under the assumed
name Of Baron de Reichenfels. The deceased.
about whose identity there is no mystery, was
the hero OF romantic attachment. Prince
Henry NN. OF Reuss became enamored, about
four or Eve years since, Of Clotilde Loisset, a
circus rider. According to the rigid laws Of
strict etiquette prevailing at the courts of
Germany, a marriage with this lady would be
an objectionable HgesdElidRce, involving on the
part OF the Prince the loss or REIMBURSEMENT
OF most of the privileges of his rank and posi-
ton Prince Henry, however. had made up
his mind to spouse the damsel. The NOR
ranatie union was concluded, and from that
moment the bridegroom renowned his title
as Prince and all the advantages OF his rank.
and until his death, a few days since. lived In
retirement as simple Baron de Reichenfels IN
one Of the suburbs Of the Belgian capital.
