Beatrice'S Husband.

Prince Henry has been described as zone Of
the handsomest men in Europe but so far as
looks are concerned, he is distinctly behind his
elder brother, Prince Louis. He is, however,
very stalwart and soldier-like, though he looks
as if he had a temper. He is all over a Prussian
officer. bat happily does not require to wear the
pinceneZ with which three German officers out
of five are disfgured. The Prince had done his
best for himself by wearing a very becoming
white uniform with high jack boots. On reach

of Winchester and the Dean of Windsor wore
the ribbon and insignia of the Garter round their

at the altar a royal bridegroom shall knael for
some minutes in PRAYER. but the matter had not
been made clear to Prince Henry, who stood like
a statue, looking at the ommun;on table and its
gold plate, with his back to the congregation.
There was really nothing moro admirable
throughout the proceedings than the self posses

was kept waiting a cruel time. 1t was no slight

against the altar rails, with the clergy gazing on

MR.. JONES', EX-REBEL.
The Regular Story of 'FraternizatioD,' with
Some Variations.

New York Special.
That picture of General Grant looks like him
when / used to know him" remarked a tall
countryman this morning as he stood before a
portrait of the General, which represented HIM
in his army uniform and was displayed in the
show window of a Bowery shop.
when did you know General Grant, asked a
bystander, who was dressed as a farmer.
IL knew hum in the war; l fought with Grant;
| never shall forget one night before Vicksburg,"
continued the tall man. Il was on
picket duty; our lines were near the
rebels, and we picket men used to chat
together, and swap tobacco, and tell stories
all night. but when the day came we would
blaze away at each other, just as if we were
strangers. The night 1 speak of it had been
Lining all day and it was chilly. We mad our
little fires at the posts and were managing to
pass away the time pleasantly, when | heard
the guard coming. / shouldered my musket
and began marching up and down.. We didn't
want the officers to know that we did anything
to the rebs except shoot at them. AS the guard
came up l saw that one of the soldiers was Gen.
Grant himself. l presented arms. Private,
said the old man, as he stopped in front of me.
Il heard you talking with some one, and | think
you were talking to the enemy. | thought L
was going to be shot for treason, but / made up
my mind not to lie about it, so l said: Yes,
sir; | was cold and. hungry, and wanetd a
little coffee, and my friend over there
wanted some tobacco, SO we traded DO you
mean to say that you bargained with tie
enemyY Yes sir [ said, and | pointed to a pot
that was boiling on the fire. Is it good coffeeY
he asked, as he walked over to the fire. Yes,
SIR l answered. We'll, we'll see about this
said the General. Give me a cup / gave him
one. and the old man sat down and drank it.
When he got through he said: Now, private,
you have told the truth; that coffee is good, but
in the future you had better get your supplies
from our own quartermaster.' You bet l was
relieved when he walked on"
Were you the soldier who borrowed that
coffee?" asked the farmer with intense interest.
Eyes" replied the countryman; why do you
ask"
Because 1 was the tall rebel. Shake; let's 60
somewhere and talk it over. My name is Jones"
Arm in arm the two ex- enemies moved through
the crowd down the street to fight their old
battles over again.
About 5 o'clock a tall man, who gave the name
of James w. Brown and residence Ulster county.
called at the Oak-street police station and asked
for the arrest of an ex-rebel named Jones, who
had sold him a small bar of lead wrapped in gold
foil for $500, his silver watch and return ticket.
The identity of Mr.. Jones is suspected by the
police.

PRESTON s. BROOKS'S SON.
He Speaks of "the Little Affair." of His
Father with Summer.

Fathcr WITH sumner.
Sewanee Glenn Letter to Nashville American.
THAT, said Mr.. H., as we passed along Main
street. lis the residence of Preston S. Brooks,
.jr," and. being in the lead, he wheeled to the
left, landing us at the front door. Mr.. Brooks is
a large, well-regulated gentleman, about twenty
eight or thirty, who seems In no wise to have
inherited the belligerent nature of his father.
Graduating here, from South Carolina, several
years ago, this mobile son of an illustrious SIRE
found his fate in a pretty Tennesseean, whom he
welded, the twain settling amid these classic
shades, the husband establishing a dry goods
store at the station. The portrait of the deceased
Hon. p. S. Brooks hangs on the parlor wall. re-
vealing a typical long haired Southerner, dark
complexioned, fierce, and swarthy of expression.
Il could never see" remarked Mr.. Brooks,
why that little affair of fathers created such a
wide interest. There was nothing about the
business very extraordinary. However, of
course, it all happened before my day, and 1
cannot enter into the spirit of the interest it
aroused. L am for the old flag and an appropria-
tion,' and can say to the Union este %perpetua,
and to the North and South alike that l love my
whole country"
He showed US a gold cup presented to his
father by the citizens of Abbeville in 1856. not
long before his death. A very heavy, handsome
sword, in a heavy walnut case, and beautifully
ornamented scabbard. This was presented by
Company D., Palmetto Regiment, during the
Mexican war in recognition Of Captain Brooks's
kindness and gallantry. The son mas two of the
Hue Solu Hcdutu canes presented the rather
soop after the assault on Sumner; one from
the citizens of Alexandria. Va. This has a
history. The family lost this sword during the
war, and had no knowledge of it's fate for over
twenty years. Last year, Mr.. Brooks was sur
prised to receive the long lost relic from Major
General Sheldon Guthrie. General Guthrie
wrote that hearing of the sons whereabouts, he
determined to return the sword to it's legal
owner. This is the first time the circumstance
has been published. because General Guthrie
enjoined silence. Il do not" he wrote, wish to
pose as a 'magnanimous restorer." He failed to
explain how he came in possession of it, adding
only that it was picked up during the war"
Another one was presented by citizens of
Columbus, Ga. This is very finely carved.
Inside the inscription is the etching of a pal
metto tree, underneath a snake in coil, the
motto: 'sRevilers Beware"

The Queens Sausage-Maker.

London letter 20 Philadelphia Telegraph.
While upon the subject of royalty, may men,
ton an amusing anecdote concerning Prince
Albert Victor. The Prince was in Sheffield the
other day, and in the course of his travels passed
the establishment of a well-known pork butcher,
over which were displayed the royal arms and
the legend, by special appointment to Her
Majesty the Queen AS everyone in England
knows, this signifies nothing, except that, per-
haps, twenty years ago a royal foot,nan or scul-
lion may have made a trifing purchase at the
store in question. The Prince would have passed
on. unheeding the important fact, had it not
been for a young Sheffield blade, jealous for the
repute of his town, who yelled out in the forcible
vernacular of that part of Yorkshire: Hi, thai
Yon's tina shop weer tina granny buys sassages. "
A shout of applause drowned the laughter of the
Prince and his suit.
