salaries. This is a large and needless
ly extravagant sum, and the more re-
markable as III. II. II. Is exceedingly
economical in money matters now.
His-lords. in waiting only receive el00
a year, but this muniilcent sum the
Duke Of Abercorn is content to thank
fully pocket. In consequence of his
economy the Prince has succeeded In
greatly reducing his liabilities of late
years, but they still amount TO the re-
spectacle sum of ell0,000. He has
lately been cutting down the expenses
of his stables, among other things, and
has reduced them by several thousands
per annum. At this rate there is a
chance that his Royal Highness, when
he succeeds TO the crown, may not be
obliged TO call on his subjects to pay
his debts.-London EUening Star.

hand. Stenio bowed respectfully,
without taking 1t, and in a grave voice
said:
"Monsieur le Marquis, before allow
ing You TO welcome me 10 your house
/ must ask the favor Of brief inter
view. When you have heard me 1
shall know whether l am to become
your guest or TO depart"
Lord Mellivan, astonished, looked at
Marackzy attentively and then re-
marked that he was not in the garb OF
traveller, and that the carriage that
had brought him had no baggage, as If
he had not expected TO remain. The
Marquis, a good deal disturbed, invit-
ed him TO enter. Without word they
went into the parlor. The interview
lasted a quarter OF an hour, at the end
OF which the door opened. Marackzy
came out, conducted by Lord Melli-
van. On the threshold Stenio made
duplicating gesture. TO which the
great Lord responded only with a dis
dainful smile. The artist heard half
stiAed exclamation, and as the Mar
quis, without concerning himself as to
his presence further, had gone into the
house, he drew a keen glance around
him. At the same instant the curtain
Of one of the windows of the first floor
was raised. A blonde head appeared;
Marackzy addressed it a despairing
adieu, and, with face expressive Of
grief, threw himself into his carriage.

A CLEVER TRAIN ROBBERY.
Bandits Overpower Mexican Central
Men and Secure $4,000.

A shrewdly planned and neatly executed
train robbery was committed on the Mexican
Central Railroad. The northbouud passen>
ger train had reached point twelve miles
from San Jose, when three masked
men crawled over the tender OF the engine,
aud with drawn revolvers, compelled the en-
gineer to stop the train. The robbers then
uncoupled the two passenger cars and ran
on with the rest of the train about six miles
further when another stop was made
Here the thieves broke in the end door of tn /,
express car, but, while they were doing so,
the messenger jumped out Of the side door
and escaped in the darkness, carrying away
with him the key TO his safe. The robbers
were therefore unable to open the safe, and
secured only two packages OF silver coin
amounting to $1,000, which were lying on
the car floor They next uncoupled the en-
gne and came on with that alone, running to
within three miles of Paso del Norte, where
they abandoned it. Before leaving the loco
motive they started it back down the road
with a wide open throttle, and it run about
four miles, stopping for want of steam. Tho
robbers are supposed to have gone across the
river, but there is no clue 10 their identity
except that they are Americans. They cut
tho telegraph wires in several places, and the
first news of the robbery was not received un~
I'll four hours nftar H. occurred
