A Princess Defeated in Court.

In the little principality of Lippe-
Detmold, the same as in the VIII lom
electorate of Hesse, there existed until
recently so-called Princess tax; q. e.,
the people of these countries were
taxed certain sum every time one of
the Princesses of the reigning family,
or even of branch line, got married.
Repeated suits on account of the re-
fusal to pay the said tax have been the
order of the day during the last twenty
five years. One of these, of nearly
thirty years. standing, that of the
Countess Won Hasslingen against the
Government for tax unpaid to them,
was recently decided against the
Princely plaintiff, which puts an end
to the superannuated custom, and will
doubtless be the means of saving the
country round sum of three hundred
thousand marks per annum.-N. z.

THE GRANT TROPHIES.

WASHINGTON, October 24.-Readers of
the Times who were interested when, last
winter Mrs. Julia Dent Grant and VIM.
FL. Vanderbilt executed deed of trust,
and thereby presented to the United
States as the joint resolutions accepting
the gift introduced in the Senate by John
Sherman set forth, "certain swords, med
ais, bronzes, paintings, portraits, commits
sions and addresses and objects of value
and art presented by various governments
in the world to General Ulysses S. Grant as
tokens of their high appreciation of his
illustrious character as soldier and
statesman " will be amazed, doubtless, to
learn that this collection is tnot yet the
property of the United States. 1T has
been generally supposed that all the for
malties required by law had been COM
piled with and that the collection was
already, or soon would be, suitably placed
in Washington, where it could be seen
by all who desired to do so. Even a
United States Senator lately told me he
presumed of course, such was the case,
and when the writer, who also took this
for granted, went to the Var Department!
and asked where the relics could be
viewed. the officials there said they also
supposed the collection to be actually the
property of the government, but on look
ing into the matter found that the joint
resol utiors accepting the gift which pass
ed the Senate on February, 7 had never
passed the House, so were null and void.
The boxes containing the articles are
unopened, and will remain in the custody
ct the War Department until the joint
resolutions last winter again pass the
Senate and 60 through the House. The
whole business must be done over again
in both houses, just as if nothing had
ever been said about it in the last Con-
gress. These resolutions, after passing
the Senate on February Z, were not
brought up in the House until few
hours before Congress adjourned, when
Mr.. Mexican, of New Jersey, asked leave
for them to be at once considered, but
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois. objectlDg to
considering them then, there was no time
to pass them before the adjournment -

Perhaps a few lines from our little VII
lage may not be ont of order.
The season with MS for the past lew
weeks has been all that could be desired.
The crops with MS as they arc being
threshed out are yielding much better than
was expected. guess Mr.. Sam1 Artz Is
the boss farmer of our section, having
threshed something over 400 bushels of
wheat, rye, oats and barley.
Politics are beginning to boom with rs.
On or about the 9TH of this mouth, after
boss Z. d. and p. +. and a few Others
quietly came to our little village, our
Democratic friends succeeded in stretch
ing Lee, Massey, Ayres and Rice flag
across our street from one house top to the
other. If the political existence OF those
gentlemen is to be measured with this
flag their time certainly is short, for IN
less than a week the All-wise Providence
in one of His storms accompanied with
rain (Which lie was sending us to revive
vegetstion) seen fit to utterly demolish
this flag aud to cast the names Of Lee,
Massey, Ayres and Rice to the four winds,
Just where they should be. This certain
~ was one of the most quiet political
meetings have ever known or read OF,
being only a short distance from the vii
lage myself was unable to find ont any
thing about the meeting as was Others.
| have never heard anything from the
meeting, but guess Judging from the
manner in which it was gotten up the
bosses wanted to instruct or catechise
| their captains and chiefs Of ten (for have
understood some of them were on hand
as to how they should proceed during the
campaign. Gentlemen, if such has been
the import of your meeting | do not won
der that your flag and men could not with
stand the storm. Secret orders may do
well enough in their places, but if you
intend blindfolding and bulldozing the
people of this section in this way You will
fail every time, just as you did in the cree
ton of your flag.
Before closing permit me to say to the
