THE pucAL THRONE OF BRUNSWICK.
Prince Henry of Reuss Declines the Honor
Effort in Favor of the Duke of Cum
ber,and-New Developments i'm the
Irish Question.

VIENNA, Aug. 2l.-rhc candidature of
Prince Henry of Reuss for the ducal
throne of Brunswick has come to nothing.
The reason given is that the prince is not
possessed of fortune sufficiently large to
enable him to support the new dignity.
Now the name of the hereditary Prince
William of Nassau comes to the front as II
candidate. The hereditary prince is col
onel in the Austrian Regiment of Hus-
sars named after the Grand Duke Nicholas
of Russia. He has been summoned to
Berlin. There will, however, it is thought,
he another strong effort made to secure
the vacant throne for the Duke of Cum
berlaud. 1t has been announced that
both the Prince of Wales and the Car of
Russia intend to visit the duke at his resi-
deuce ut Gmuudcn, OH Lake Traun, dur
ing the autumn, when efforts Will prob
ably he made to induce him to accept the
inevitable as regards the kingdom of Han
over, and thus clear the way for fresh ne
gotiations about the ducal throne of
Brunswick.

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-The national school
master at Hyde, near Birmingham, who,
it has been reported, is the father of Max
well, the murderer of Freller, being inter
viewed on the subject to-day said he had a
son named Hugh Mottram Brooks, who
was Il solicitor. He resided in the United
States and had formerly been articled to
"A firm in Stockport. Hugh Brooks is
doubtless identical with Maxwell. He
was formerly clerk in the Office of
Browne q Ainsworth at Stockport. In
January last he left Hyde, taking with
him tricycle. and photograph apparatus
belonging to DR.. SidebOtham of Hyde,
having evidently sold his own effects to
pay reditors The description given of
Maxwclls manners and walk exactly tai

Maxwell sold the tricycle. i'm Boston and

Hugh and preller became acquainted in
England and sailed for America together
and it Is equally certain that Hugh was

GENERAL GRANTS BOOK.
The Immense Work of Printing and Bind
ing.

The fiji st edition of the "persOnal Mem
oirs of L. :. Grant, is $50, 600 copies The
publishers say they may add 1000 copies
to it. This edition is now in the hands of
the print erS, J. j. Little d Co., $ Astor
Place, New York, who are printing the
book as rapidly rs is consistent with good
work. a second edition is already made
necessary by the large number of sub
ScriptiOns received, and the presses will be
set to work upon it as soon as they have
struck off the last page of the second vol
ume of the first edition. This will be in
about three weeks The second edition
will in any event be as large as the first
Although the printing is being done by II
single firm, the work of binding 100000
volumes would tax the resources of any
establishment for nearly half Il year. The
publishers therefore asked for bids for
binding from several of the best binders in
the city, The bids of three New York
houses were accepted, and those houses
Will begin their work as soon as Little x
Co, can supply the sheets. Each house
will bind about a third of the edition. That
amount will furnish ample work for 300
people for about two months.
The first volume of the first edition will
not be delivered until December, though
II VIII probably be ready about the middle
or November. December was set as the
month OF publication, and the date will
not be changed. The second volume will
not be ready for delivery until March next.
Ihe orders for the book have been com
ing in very steadily, the daily average be
ing III the ncighborhoOd of 5000 The
death OF General Grant did not make II
perceptlble Increase in the number of or
ders. Inc South is doing its share of or
derlng, the agents for Virginia and West
Virginia reporting that they had received
subscriptions for 700 sets in those two
States within three weeks. The book will
be translated into French, German, span
ish and Italian, The TRANSACTIONS viii be
made abroad.
The publishers have taken every pre-
caution to prevent the book being sold by
the book trade. Each volume has a priv
ate mark upon it, by which it can be trac-
ed to the general agent through whom the
canvassers were supplied. Each canvasser
is under contract not to furnish the book
to the trade, and is liable for damages for
breaking it, Several books have appeared
with titles nearly approaching the title OF
the genuine book. Mrs. Grant is to re
ceive - per cent of the profit on the book
in America, and 50 per cent Of that abroad
