IN QUEST OF A WIFE.

The Sad Experience of Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria and RoumeIia.
London Truth.
Prince Alexander of Bulgaria has been for
some time past in quest of royal wife, and he
has encountered some Notifying adventures in
his search. The imperial family of Russia will
have nothing to say to him in this capacity
thinking. apparently, that the claims on their
consideration of the eldest of the favorite
brother of the late Empress has been Tor ought
to have been satisfied Uy his election
to the throne of Bulgaria Ia coup which
was notified to the Prince when
he was INDUCING with some comrades in a
carouSe of lager beer and iischwein in a restau-
rant) When there was family congress at
Darmstadt last year for the marriage of Prince
Louis of Battenberg (which suddenly and
unanimously broken up by the Kalomine esclan-
dre), the Prince endeavored to make himself ac-
ceptable to the Princess Victoria of Hohenzo-
Tern, second daughter of the Crown Prince of
Germany, but his pretensions were promptly
and scornfully snuffed out, and he was given to
understand that he must not presume to seek a
bride at Berlin. The Queen is believed to have
strongly supported his suit, and she was exceed
ingly angry at his summary dismissal. 1t is ut
tery impossible to suppose that the Prince and
Princess of Wales would sanction such marriage
for their eldest daughter but | shall not be
surprised to hes that the Prince faded by the
Queen) has managed to bring about sort of
half-and- half connection with our royalties by an
engagement with his cousin. the Princess Irene,
of Hesse, the eldest unmarried daughter of the
Grand Duke Prince Alexanders position is not
pleasant and secure as his friends could WISH
and he cannot have saved a fortune during his
six years's reign, although he is generally cred
tied with prudent di, position to remit as much
money as be scrape together to Frankfort in
order that, if the worst comes, he may at least
be able to scamper back to Darmstadt with suffi-
cient means to enable him to live in comfort and
independence with his relatives in the Bergs-
straSSe.

The Time o. Year.

When springtide blossoms slipped the bud
And long pent rivers were ahood.
Hope filed my heart; held it DEAR
The time O year.
Then royal summer bloomed and blushed;
The memories of spring were hushed,
Until | cried: The best is here,
This time O year!
And now, while leaves catch deeper stains,
And autumn, mellow monarch, reigns,

This time O. year.
A pleasant thing it is and meet,
To find each season passing sweet;
To welcome with heart of cheer

Some Faces.

There are some faces which their youth must wear
Down to the confines of that later day
When Time has tinged the glory of their hair
And touched their sinews with his swift decay.
Forever young! The light of Heaven shines
With greater brilliance the day declines.
Perhaps It's seal of that immortal truth
That we shall! wear again fairest youth
Wear it when risen from the crumbliDg clay
That told too well of our sh rt-lived day.

Our County Affairs Have Not been
Mismanaged

In spite of all that our Republican cotem-
porary or its correspondents may allcge we
reassert that the affairs of Hartford county
have not been mismanaged by the Demo-
cratic county commissioners in this or in any
preceding year since 1867, when the Demo-

control ofcounty affairs We do not pretend
to say that the Judgment of the Commits
sioncrs may not have been at fault sometimes,
but their administration of affairs has been,
in the main, sound and prudent and three.

payer may see for himself. if he will take the
trouble to examine them. No one dare bring
the charge that any Democratic County Com
missioner has been recreant to his trust, or
has applied to his own use or the use of his
friends funds belonging to the public. Every
cent has been accounted for; there are
vouchers for all expenditures, and we repeat,
that the cutlery by the Republican organ is
merely n bid for Democratic votes, for the
purpose of defeating the Democratic party
because it is Democratic.

More Bad Guessing.

1t is in entire keeping with Democratic usage in
this State. for the officials to keep back the pub
lcation of the list of defauting officials, in order
that implicated persons who are again candidates
may have time to FIX things" so as to avoid ex-
posure. The law says this publication shall he
made one month before the day of election. 1t
should, therefore, have been made last Friday,
and in disregarding this requirement of the law
the managers simply furnish an additional reason
why the people who respect law and official prob-
ty should vote against the Democratic nominees in
whose interest both are violated.-BaAir Times.
We would not notice the above, except on
account the misrepresentation it contains,
and by way of explanation. AS matter of
fact the list referred to was received at The
Asgas office by mail. on the Sd of October,
too late for insertion that week, THE 1Egis
having been printed on the LIST of October.
The list was published in the very next
paper, of the date of October 9th.
The Times calls it u "lst of defuulters."
The persons named therein are not defaullers.
Their accounts were not settled, for the rea-
son that if they paid the State in full, they
might have TO appeal to the Legislature for
reimbursement for interest paid in excess and
for taxes they were unable to collect
from insolvents. The list contains the
name of Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis, and they will scarcely relish being call
ed "defaulters," when they are not

No Democrat Should Cut His Ticket.

The chief desire of the Republicans, in this
campaign, and the point to which all their
efforts are directed, is the County Commits
soners' office. They are now using argu-
ments to induce Democrats to cut from their
own ticket one Of the candidates for County
Commissioner and vote for Republican in
his place Voters are told that they can vote
for both candidates from the same district, us
the law does not require the Commissioners
to come from different districts. This is the
bait that is held out to Democrats to induce
them to vote for Republican candidates. 1t
is true that all of the County Commissioners
might be selected from the same election dis
trict, but the people of Hartford county have
for very many years chosen their County
Commissioners from each district, in order
that every part of the county may be repre-
sented in the board. In the so-caled reform
proposed to be instituted by the Republicans,
if successful, We suppose all this will be
changed, and the five County Commissioners
will be chosen from one district, say Bel Air,
or even from the town of Bel Air itself. Would
the other districts admire anything of this
kindp

therefore, that his nomination has not been
acceptable to the reform element" OF the

reformer, an honest citizen and an able man,
but now his old-time reform friends have not

Death of Mrs. StandifOrd-ChiIdre
Day Services.

The funeral of Mrs. Benjamin standiford, an
estimaDle lady, whose illness has been noted,
took place on Sunday morning last, and was one
of the largest we have ever seen in this commune
ty. The interment was at the Mountain Christian
Church, where the funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. w. G. Wade. Floral tributes
were abundant. A handsome pillow inscribed
with the word Mother" was touchingly sugges-
tive of the source of the Offering The pail bear
ers were Messrs. John and VIM. Sawyer. John
Lytle, j. Wetherell, Henry Reckord and Daniel
Smith.
The Childrens Day services announced for
Union Chapel last Sunday afternoon drew to-
gether large and appreciative audience. Rev.
Z. HI. Day, Junior pastor of the circuit, conducted
the services, and interesting addresses were made
by Mr. Morgan and wife, who are temporarily so
journing in the community. The singing was an
interesting and enjoyable feature of the occasion,
under the leadership of Mr.. Pyle, Miss Cornelia
HardesLy presiding at the organ. The church
was prettily decorated, and the financial result
which was appropriated to the cause of foreign
missions, was satisfactory. Miss NJ. f. Norris is
superintendent of the Sabbath School at this
place.
OF course the approaching fair ia the one alb
sorbing topic, but as we listen to the wailing
winds and sobbing rain drops the prospect is sug-
gestive of disappointment, and probably many
are echoing the sad refrain, "Wait till the clouds
roll by, Jennie" OBSERVER
