As is well known, Henry of Battenberg. the
German Prince. who has Just been added to the
lixs of British royalties, is viewed with much
disfavor at Berlin and also by some members
Of the Queens own family. The reason of the
dislike. however, is not so well known, and
some light is thrown on this point by our Paris
correspondents letter. Prince Henry's cousins,
uneles and aunts, and some OF his other rela-
tfyes seem to have been more or less disrepu-
table, but after all they have hardly been worse
than the relatives OF the other royal nObOdies
Of Europe and the husband of the Queens
youngest daughter personally is said to be a
rather nice fellow. Moreover. for German
Prince before marriage he had fair income

The little lacrosse ball has lately been set
a-rolling in this neighborhOod in a manner
which is lively and pleasing. but which would
be more pleasing if it more frequently went

yis,t of the st. Paul and the Niagara clubs
have rested mainly on the sticks OF the visit
ors The Niagaras, which were victorious again
yesterday at Staten Island. are not one
of the best clubs of Canada,-tha is,
they do not contest for the Dominion
championship; yet they seem able to keep
thear American rivals in a becoming state OF
humiliation. But the New-York lacrosse play
era need not worry much If they do lose the
most goals. What they are ambitious to do at
present is to make this beautiful sport popular
q home. In this direction they are highly sue
csssfuI. The Williamsburg club deserves espe-
ciai mention for its pluck and perseverance, in
pushing this game.
During the session of the Legislature last
spring THE TRIBUNE pointed out that there
was no demand for another expensive investi-
cation into the affairs of this clty. Nothing has
occurred since to create such q demand ;
and unfortunately the course of
the Senate Committee appointed for that pur-
pose has not inspired confidence in its good
intentions. Its act yesterday in selecting
Charles P. Miller as one Of ITS counsel
will hardly be regarded as made in good faith.

Dynamite Supefsedes the Axe.

A Somerset County, (Me.) firm have
pulp manufactory, consuming spruce
and hemlock timber. Their operations
are large, and instead Of practising the
slow method Of chopping down trees and
saving them up, in order to get the
wood into the pulp mill, they blow them
TO splinters with dynamite. An eye
witness thus describes the process: A
fine largo spruce was selected, and hole
was driven in about ten inches,
the chips wcro removed, and a
dynamite cartridge was inserted. The
dynamite comes il sticks like q candle,
and resembles moist brown sugar. A
fnse was attached, and the men sought
q place Of safety. In few seconds there
was mighty roar, and the great Tree was
up in the air about Ten feet, and then,
with swoop and crash, it caaie 10 the
earth, spliptered halfway to the trunk.
Dynamite is not cheap, but taking into
consideration the time, labor, wear and
tear Of tools saved, is not as expensive as
might be supposed. LaimbHman.

ner in firm of which:.the other members

TO the capital Of the firm $500, 900. The
capital invested by the other partners is
not stated, but from their positions and
the fortunes it is presumed they have
accumulated by their connection with
Mr.. Gould it is estimated that they con-
tributed about $3.50, 600 each, making
the capital Of the firm 81 ,00O,0 900. Thi,

In spite Of the exclusive business
which the firm will do, the junior part
ner, Mr.. George ]. Gould, is a person
in whom the street naturally takes very
considerable interest The street knows
little of him, but believes that it is likely
to know much. In personal appearance
he is prepossessing, hordly more than n
boy in looks, yet more than boy in
business. He is about the average
height, slender, yetmuscular. His com
ple1ion is swarthy, his hair and promis-
ing moustache are black, and his eyes,
like his fathers, are dark and penetrat-
ing. Like his father, he is quiet and
reticent but in the company OF his
friends he is full of life aud boyish
spirits. He has been educated privately
and thoroughly, and, as to business ex-
perience, has travelled extensively with
his father, both through this country and
abroad, and has spent the last two years
in his fathers office.-Neu York

another patriot with whom Phelan
seems to have had a little misunder-

who do not actually read 1t, are un-
doubtedly acquainted with the fact
that the United Irishman is at the

O'Donovan Rosa is native of the
county Cork, Ireland. lie was born
in 1882, aud is growing gray. His
father died In March, lSi7, and the
widow and children were a short
time after, evicted from their home
by an alien landlord. From that
time forward, say his biographers,
ODonovan Rosa was at heart Il rebel
against British rule. His first ex-

into prison, where he remained until

York, aud opened hotel. After
having been Boniface for few years
he began his career as journalist.
Strong views are entertained of
0'Donovan Rosa by both friends
and foes. Those read his ferocious
articles with admiration and entrust
him with subscriptions to be approp-
rated in the destruction of English
sbins. bnildinUs. etc. these regard
him in exactly the opposite way,
going so far as not only to discrcdit
his professions of patriotism, pure
and disinterested, but TO accuse him,
with greater or less distinctness, Of
treacherous conniyance with the
British authorities. The exact truth
as il lies In or between these extreme
views, is not easy to determine.

Translated BY the Queen.

A good story reaches us from Belgium,
the truth OF which Is guaranteed. A
banking house at Verviers received let
ter from bank at Buda-Pesth. The
recipients knew that it related to mat
ter Of the greatest importance; but un.
fortunately, they could not master the
contents Of the missive, as it was written
in the Hungarian language, and there
WAS not q soul at Verviers who understood
TINT tongue. Accordingly one of the
partnGrs took Q journey to Brussels, ex-
pectipg to find everything he wanted at
the capital, but only to be disappointed
nobody at the banks could read Hun
gnr;an. There was, however, still the
Austro. Hungarian Embassy, whether
the banker betook himself, to learn that
there was an attache who spoke Hungar-
ian, but he had gone to Diarritz for
some seA-bathing. Almost in despair,
the hero of the story called upon the
Burgomaster, with whom he was ao.
quaint.,d, and related his troubles. After
some thought his worship, striking his
forehead, exclaimed "After all some-
times oul most foolish ideas prove the
best" With this enigmatical observe
ton he asked for the letter. "This is an
affair involving some millions, and l
shall be happy to pay o handsome
douceu to &e translator who hos en-
ab.ed lua to getat the meaning OF the let
ter in tune TO conclude the affair" "I
take you at your word,' replied the
Burgomast ter. "Give me 10,000f. for
the poor Of Brussels, for the translator
is none other than the Queen. She has
experienced lively satisfaction in employ
ing her knowledge Of the Hungarian
language to oblige her subjects" The
Qneen Of the Belgians is daughter Of
tie Archduke Joseph, whose bsnefcent
rule Of Hungary Is still remembered by
the people, and she was born in the
Capitol city during her fathers palatine.
