How a Prince Popped the question.

Paris has been enthusing over the case of
the prince of Aosta. The prince is engaged to
be married. and to none other than to his own
niece, Princess LRtitia Bonaparte, daughter of
his sister, Princess Clotilda, and OF Prince .Je-
rome Napoleon, better known as Plon- Plon
The marriage, most important one is TO come
off In september, and 1t has flavor of romance
about IL dear to ladies with long, thin waists
who sit in salons and say INA chere." They be-
came engaged at a railroad station in five min
utes. Prince Aosta admired his niece more and
more as he saw her grow up, but said nothing
about how he felt until one fine day, not long
since whom she was coming over TO England to
visit the Empress Eugene. Then it suddenly
struck him how many big young men with vel
low mouStaches she would meet ready and anx-

caused him 10 sink almost unconscious on the
platform. He did not, though. but put his head
in the princess carriage window and said, while
the guard yelled en- UOltltre:

for year passionately II let you 20 the EN-
press will marry you TO Milford. and shall be
undone. Promise TO marry me, and make your
uncle happy"
Princess Loettia, who had been expecting
something OF the sort, said yes" and they had
barely time toexchange an engaged look before
toward Charing Cross. This story, which shows
that royal folks go about love matters just as
we do, was told by the princess to a girl friend

Anxious Real Estate Agents.

Mrs. Cleveland Is overwhelmed with
letters inquiring where she is going to spend
the summer, and the President has received
a good many offers of finely furnished
houses located at different summer resorts.
The real estate agents are anxious to use the
President and Mrs Cleveland as advertise
ments of the resorts which they are boom
ing, and it is probable that the President
is determined that he will not be used in
that way, and that Mrs. Cleveland shall
not.
Last summer Mrs. Cleveland spent few
weeks near Marion, on the New England
coast, and when her whereabouts was dis
covered, the place was overrun with people
who were curious to see her, and anxious to
spend a portion of the summer in the
vicinity of the locality she had selected for
brief season of rest and recreation.
Marion received quite boom, and property
there advanced with wonderful rapidity,
because it was given out that Mrs Cleve-
land would spend her summers there in the
future. The real estate spectators reaped
little harvest and other real estate specu-
lators would like to do the same thing this
year. The probabilities are they will be
disappointed. Mrs. Cleveland secs enough
of crowds during the winter season. When
she goes away from Washington for few
weeks in the summer she wants to avoid
crowds She wants quiet and rest, and the
probability is therefore that she will seek
some out of the way place, where she will
not be disturbed by the curious or intruded
upon by those to whom she cannot very
well deny admittance to her presence.
Mrs. Cleveland is woman of rare tact
and amiability. She is willing to do most
anything to please the public, and she is
careful not to give offense. 1t will be diff
cult, therefore, unless she goes far away
from the lines of travel and to some place
that is seldom visited. to have the seclusion
and freedom it is understood she desires.
| Her pictures have made her face known in
about every part of the country, and she
will be fortunate if she finds any place
where she can remain long without being
recognized.
As for the President, it is probable that
he will be so much occupied with public
affairs and with the campaign that he will
not get far away from Washington for any
length of time. The present summer will
be busy one for him, and one that will not
be wholly free from anxiety.

Wise Words to Financial Institutions.
Some things said by Judge Barrett of
New York on Tuesday, in sentencing Dunn,
who had been convicted of conspiring with
Scott, the teller of the Manhattan bank of
that city, to rob that bank of 100000,
ought to be needed by mOneyed institutions
all over the country. Dunn was SCOTS
brother-in-law. Scott lost $4,000 of the
banks money in speculations, and, fearful
that his crime would be discovered, he asked
Dunn, who was lawyer, to tell him
the best course to pursue. Dunn advised
him to steal all he could and escape to Can
ada. Scott followed this advice and took
$3.50, 900, making the total sum Of which he
robbed the bank $3.50, 900. He left $4,000
of the money with Dunn for safe keeping.
After being in Canada a year he went to
England and while there he agreed to COM
promise with the bank for half the amount
stolen. He called on Dunn for the money,
who declared that he had lost the whole of
it in speculation
OF course Scott was mad and so was the
bank. The bank concluded as it couldn't
get any of its money it would punish some
body. Dunn was the greater scoundrel of
the two, and so the bank decided to prose
cute him. Scott, being assured that he
would not be prosecuted, was glad OF
chance to testify against Dunn, and he did
so. Dunn was convicted and, according to
our dispatches yesterday, was sent to the
penitentiary for little more than nine
years.
In sentencing Dunn, Judge Barrett said:
Zone of the most unfortunate things in
modern life is the settlement of defalcations
and embezzlements by officers of moneyed
corporations. Such settlements are really
incentives to those who are morally weak
and who are contemplating the preparation
of defalcations"
The Manhattan bank would not have
prosecuted Dunn if the compromise agreed
upon with Scott had been executed. If
Dunn had acted fairly with Scott the
latter would have had enough to live upon
comfortably the remainder of his life, and
would have been in no fear of punishment.
The moneyed institutions. in self-protec-
ton, should have an understanding among
themselves that they would, under no cir
cumstances, compromise with defaulters
and embezzlers, but that they would prose-
cute them to the full extent of their ability.
AS rule the first thing they do however,
when they have been robbed by their en-
ployes is to hush the matter up, and, if pos
sible, open negotiations with the thieves for
the return of a portion of the stolen goods
1t is evident, as Judge Barrett says, that
this course tends to make thieves, and the
moneyed institutions are the losers by it in
the long run.

The Philadelphia Press has just learned
that senator Hampton, of South Carolina,
is about to grapple with the question,
What Negro Supremacy Means" The
Press doesn't keep very well posted, or it
would know that Senator Hamptons article
on that subject appeared in the Forum
some weeks ago "If the senator treats
the subject candidly," continues the Press,
che will probably conclude that negro SUI
premacy means the disintegration of the
bourbon democracy, the better enforcement
of the laws, the securing of honest elections
and heavy decline in the demand for shot
guns and revolvers in the old slave states 4"
If the Press had taken tho trouble TO read
Senator Hamptons very able and interest
ing article, it would have discovered that
the above views are very different from
those publicly expressed by Mr.. Lincoln.

ferred to the fact that millions of bandanas
have been ordered lately from Rhode Island
mills, and asked: What's little Rhody
going to do for MIR. Thurman in returnF
Answering this question, the Baltimore
american says; Little Rhody will supply
some of the bandanas for the democrats,
on strictly business principles, but her vote
will be for the republican nominees" Yes,
we suppose so. The republicans are calling
already for Doodle, and with the big

In Love.
From Tid-Btts.


Her ways are different lately,
Her manner altered quite,
Her voice has softened greatly,
Her footstep b more light.
She bears herself sedately,
And dreams from noon to night.
She's wilful, wild, capricious,
Hard, yielding. gay, distraite.
She rails with accents vicious
Against the married state,
And then, with great suspicious,
Pities the celibate.
Her cheeks are tinged with bushes
When no ones there to see;
At times away she brushes
A teardrop hastily.
Then softly sings; and thrushes
Sing not more tenderly.
She frowns upon fiirtations,
On gossip puts her ban;
Accepts few Invitations,
These only from one man.
Her toilet preparations
Are modelled on his plan,
Reports of his devotion
She'll earnestly disclaim.
And hints of soft emotion
Will set her eyes ahame;
But still have a notion
She soon will change her name.

Thurston's Speech.

The speech of Judge Thurston, the
temporary chairman of the Chicago con-
vention, was in some respects a rather re-
markable one, and called out from the New
York newspapers comments which indi-
Gated that there was in that city quite
difference of opinion with regard to its
merits. The Tribune said that it was
worthy of the best traditions of the
party and that cit will long be remem-
bered in republican annals as a masterpiece
of political oratory." This is very high
praise, but is it deserved9 The Times saws
that it isn't. 1t says that the speech is not
to be compared to Mr.. Collins at st. Louis,
which was sober, thoughtful, firmly and
clearly expressed, and courageous in its
dealing with actual issues" 1t says that
Judge Thurston's speech was rhetorical,
vague to the point of emptiness, and gave
no indication that the speaker had any
definite ideas as to the policy to be pursued
by his party, or supposed that his hearers
had, or wished to have.
The Times is right Nobody can get a
clear idea of what Judge Thurston was
driving at from his speech. Admitting re-
publicans may insist that the speech was
wise and eloquent, but the impartial critic
will say probably that it was simply
meaningless stuff and was wholly unworthy
of the occasion. What nonsense it was to
eulogize Blaine to the point of fulsomeness,
speaking of him as the "uncrowned king
welding the baton of acknowledged leader
ship. supreme in the allegiance of his de-
z L 4
all honest and loyal men, the great
est living American. the worthy object
of your undying love" and then to declare
that the convention dare not commit the
political crime" of nominating him. Judge
Thurston may be a great orator, but judged
by his Chicago effort he is great bag of
wind and a gusher from the unfenced
cyclone swept prairies of Nebraska.
