Royal Beauty.

London Letter in PHILADELPHIA Times.
Speaking of royal beauty, | am told
that the Princess Victoria, of Tcck, cid
est daughter of the Princess Mary, of
Cambridge, Duchess of Teck, is the
pretticst royal maiden of q marriageablc
age to be found in Europe. Probably
her fair face will make her matrimonial
fortune, as was the case with the OBJ
scufe Bavarian Princess who became EN-
press of Austria by reason of her eX-
treeme loveiineSs. 1t is Il curious fact
that the generation of royal ladies that
is now assuming the aspect of the past
as regards their youth and beauty. were
far more CONSPICUOUS for their possession
of personal charms than their success
sors will be. The Expresses Eugene
and Elizabeth of Austria, the Paince IS
of Walls and Queen Margaret, OF Italy,
were all famous beauties, and The two
latter are still charming enough 20 merit
the admiration of the world. But the
fair Alcxandria is beginning to look like
the mother of a gown-up family. and it
| is whispered that her prnfused trcssa.5
are not the growth Of her own shapeIy
head None of her daughters, except,
| perhaps. the youngest, tho Princess

A Town i'm Georgia Excited over the
Release of an Insane Firebug,

An Atlanta (Ga.) special says (: The
town of COnyers, on the Georgia rail
road, is ina state Of excitement because
Tom Marston, an incendiary, has been
tnrned loose by the officers of the State
Lunatic Asylum. Tom Marston was
regular attendant at Sunday school and
a fayorite with the people at large. One
Sunday in September last, while the Me-
thodist church was crowded with wor-
shippers. the alarm Of fire was given. As
the congregation scattered it became evil
dent that instead Of one there were as
many as a dozen fires raging in differ
ent parts of the city. The whole pop
ulation. without regard to age or sex,
turned out to subdue the flames, and
none worked better than MarSton, who
expressed himself ready to join in
lynching the incendiary. While the
congregation was again gathered
for night service the alarm bells again
called the worshppers to the defence
of their homes. While in the midst Of

holding a flaming brand and declaring
that the end of the werld had come.
Fifty men at once set out in pursuit of
the incendiary and many shots were
fired, none of which struck him.
At last the fugitive, exhausted,
turned and faced his pursuers, who
were dumbfounded to find it was Mar
ston, who laughed Ike maniac and
declared that he had a mission from on
high to burn the world. Strong efforts
were made to save the wretch by inhu-
entail friends, and he was slipped away
and put in an insane asylum. 1t
was only by a promise given by
the authorities of the asylum that
he should not be released without
due notice being given that the matter
was allowed to rest. 1t has just leaked
out that the incendiary was released by
DR.. Powell over a week ago, and the
fact that he is lowering around the town
makes every one fearful that the town
may be burned down.

more popular with the Germans than

Ex-Congressman Jameson, of Lima,
Ohio, is an old and intimate friend of
Cal Brice. the millionaire, who mas
grown up in night, like Jacks hea-
ycn-reaching bean-stalk. Said he to-
night: About five years ago Brice
wasn't worth dollar now he has made
two or three fortunes, lost enough to
build the new national library, and has
$j,000,000 left. He is under forty, Of
medium height, wiry, and, like Jerusa-
lem, compactly built together. He has
bright eyes, red whiskers, and common
sense Democratic air. He began life as
young lawyer Of Lima, and his first
railroad speculation was with the strip
Of road which ran from Fremont to
Lima. He thought he saw money
in it, mortgaged his property, went
to Europe, interested some parties
in it there, and coming back,
with the aid of Charles Foster,
made nice little speculation out of it.
He netted, think, about 500, 900. His
next enterprise was the Ohio Central,
running down into the coal-felds. In
this he lost his 100000, and when he
had finished it he owed Foster $4,000
Foster had confidence in him, however,
and the two got their heads together
and ran branch Of the road into the
Sunday. Creek Valley coal-felds. This
branch paid so well that it redeemed the
other, and the result was that Brice paid
off Foster and had about sl35, 900 left.
He originated the Nickel Plate, pushed
it through, and in connection with sew
eral others made from il sl3,000,000.
Since then he has been specializing in
railroads, and has lost some money, but
made more. He was largely interested
in road through East Tennessee and
Georgia when the crash Of about year
and halfago occurred. lie was absent
IN Europe at the time, and he found
matters ina bad way Oh MS return. He
has since been Strengthening them out
and putting the road into better shape.
Nj, Brice now lives in New York. He
has a residence on Murray Hill, for
which he paid s250,0e0. 1t is filled
with furniture, bric-a-brac, and pic
lures which have cost a fortune. He
has very fine library, is fond of lite
nature, and is a man of considerable cul-
ture. He has a strong mind, great
speculative ability, and never loses his
head.
