TALK OF THE TITLED.

TIE Duke of Cambridge is said to be the only member of the royal family who con- poses his own public speeches.
 LADY LINDSAY, the songwriter, is forty five, tall, statuesque, and fond of wearing classical costumes. Shc paints in water colors charmingly, and writes much for the magazines.
 THE Emperor of Germany is an early riser. When he takes his usual drive through the Thiergarten at 80 he has not only breakfasted, but done moro than an hours hard work.
 THE Emperor of Japan is allowed $2,500, GOO a year for his household department, and his private fortune is large and increas- ing. He thoroughly understands business matters and keeps himself well informed as to his investments.
 KING LEOPOLD, of Belgium, has shown himself possessed of almost as great craze for building as Mime. de Pompadour, and many new buildings at Ostend and elsewhere are tasteful monuments to his love for improvement .
 THE new heir of the Austrian Emperor, be sides being a descendant of the Caesars, will be King of nine countries, wear eighteen titles as Duke, one as ArchdulSe, two as Grandduke, four as margrave, and so on to the total number of fifty-four.
 THE young Emperor of China rises at two o'clock every morning, taking light break fast half an hour later. At three o'clock he begins the work of the day. He has his sec ond breakfast at eleven and dimes later in the day, retiring to bed early in the evening.
 LADY MAGHERAMoRNE has had rather more than usual number of changes of name At first she was Miss Douglas then Miss Douglas-Pennant; then Mrs. Rogg; then Hon. Mrs. Hogg; then Hon. Lady Hogg; then Hon. Lady McGarel Hogg; and latest Lady Magheramorne.
 THE present German Empress or Queen is the fifth English Princess who has held that rank The others were Edgyth, daughter of Edward the Llder and wife of Otto I. {; Gunhild, daughter of Knut and wife of Henry III. of Germany; Matilda, the link be- tween the Norman and Plantagenet dynas- ties and wife of Henry V. of Germany, and Isabella, daughterspf King John and wife of Frederick II. The last named was direct ancestor of the present Empress on her fathers side.
 QUEEN VICTORIA has great fondness for china and buys new selection every year. Some of these are purchased for presenta. tion. but the majority goes to her Majesty's table. She is said to show excellent taste and generally buys broad cups in ivory and gold or ivory and blue. So keen is the desire ln London nowadays, however, to have something different from other people that customers are not influenced in the least by the Information that the Queen has bought such and such a pattern. Indeed it acts as deterrent against their buying the same thing

DUDLEY's NEW OCCUPATION.

Colonel Dudley has been heard from And the news has a sort of natural tlavor-something after the blocks of five odor.
 The gallant colonel is encamped just outside the breastworks that hedge in the administration. He has been placed in charge of the permanent headquarters of the republican national committee, with which he has always remained in full fellowship in spite of the bad break he made in his 'tioater' letter to Chair man Huston of Indiana. It is said that it was for the committee he made his re- cent smelling visit to Tennessee. All Matt Quay's southern work, such as fool ing the negroes and pushing up the white men with hope of breaking into the southern democracy, has been en- trusted to Dudley. President Harrison keeps entirely shy of Dudley, so far as any public relations are concerned. and has as little to do with him rersonally as is possible for man who profted so much by Dudley's peculiar political methods The colonel doesn't go to the white house-it would be sort of awkward, you know-and is said to have given up all hope of getting an office for himself under this admins tration, but he is helping other men to get there, and to that end hsuunts the de partment daily where he is received as becometh his.invaluable services in talk ing care of the 'fioatersr Even the Sunday school S4OO, ,OOO beauty, who didn't want to know what use was made of his poodle, receives him like q dear old friend, as many democratic post master has had reason to know for him. self. It is quite natural. therefore, that the hc'.boys" who are disappointed at the white house should go to the headou ar ters to see Colonel Bill As he himself says: .l do not want any office for my self. 1 would not have one under any circumstances. My hands are full. l am doing all I can to help my friends. Any man who can show me that he has worked for the party can be sure that one man, at least, will support his claims"
 There isn't anything small about Bill. No pent up Utica contracts his par tisanship. He is good deal like a cer- tain Connecticut politician who boasted that he was accustomed to Ego the whole hog or none," and whose whole record has been credit to the hog. It will be interesting to see how Bill disports him. self in his new occupation. It may not be quite so congenial job as taking care of ''doaters in blocks" of five," but turning the democratic rascals out will prove no less fascinating to man of Dudley's peculiar temperament.
 So lay on, Bill; the democrats hope you will be as successful in your new oc- cupation as in the "blocks of five'' busi- ness. The day of reckoning may then be hastened.

within themselves. And it gives some point, indeed, to the charges that the lobby was not entirely without infiu- ence in shaping the course of the house in favor of Swift. Be this as it may, it seems reasonably certain that the legis- lature is open to influences, in matters of this kind, that could not be brought to bear on body which would be more judicial and better fitted by nature and training to cope with questions of life and death. Such body it is held the board of pardons would be, and it is being urgently advised by some of the state papers that the powers of this board be enlarged to give it iuris- dlctlon of committing or confirming capital sentences. There is certainly reason to believe, from the character and abilities of the gentlemen who now con- stitute the board of pardons. that if Swift's case had come within their jurisdiction there would have been none of the shifting, uncertain action that
 has attended its disposition by the mem- bers of the house. There would have been no lobbying, no sentimental yield ing to the force of woman's tears, no emotional changes of mind under the persuasive eloquence of intert sted ad- vocates, mo shirking or lodging of plain duty, no mental transformations on ac- count of personal opinions of the advisa- bility of capital punishment-in a word there would have been none of the cir cumstances that have attached them selves to the Swift case had the board of pardons been authorized, by it's powers, to pass upon the case. That board, com posed as it is of the governor of the state and six of the leading and most honored citizens of our commonwealth, would have approached the matter in a judicial spirit and would have disposed of it as it should have been done, and there would be none of the doubts and misgivings that now cling to the de cision of the legislature
 Under existing conditions we are
 is'blS at c'cly SeSSloIl ol SonHeCllCut legislature to' see the same scenes re- enacted that have centered the attention of the country on our state for the past few weeks. Indeed, if the reports that come from Murderer Scheele's friends be true, it is not impossible that we may see them during the sitting of the pres ent general assembly. It is matter, there fore, for serious consideration whether the present assembly ought not before adjourning so extend and enlarge the power of the board of pardons that ques- tions of communication of life sentence shall come within its jurisdiction. The lawmaking by unnecessary and inadvis able attention to murderers Is not the least important item to recommend the proposed enlargement of power, and we from the disposal of murderers' cases b, the board of pardons would amply SUD- plement any arguments to recommend the change.
 The dangers of abuse or misapplication that attend the present system of leg. islative clemency areto great for further continuance. A system that will give greater satisfaction to all concerned and will more nearly insure the dispensation of equal and exact justice is necessary and advisable. Connecticut needs a different channel of mercy.

CHANNEL OF MERCY.

The case of Murderer Swift, in its pc, culiar windings through the legislature, has called public attention to the need of some change that will take commuta tion out of the hands of the general as- sembly altogether. It is held, with much force and seeming justice, that the legislature is entirely unftted, in it's composition, its temperament and the conditions that surround it, to exercise justly and judiciously the divine prerog- ative of mercy. The position of those who hold to this opinion derives much weight from its course in regard to Swift.
 The very fact that the house reversed it's first action on the case is proof that the members were not acting wholly
