The Royalty of Europe.

It is the same all over Europe Every now
and then the direct line fails; then the pow
ers in church and state have to trace away
back up the genealogy to where some daugh-
ter of a king married some commoner or for
eign prince of a sturdy stock, and trace down
that line to find tho right heir, the all I'M
portant ''next of kim" At the top there is
rapid and perpetual decay; from the com
monalty fresh blood is constantly infused into
the lower nobility, and thence in time it goes
to recruit the higher and the royal line An
aspiring knight ''marries well, and his son
becomes a baron; that baron's son an earl
and that earis son a duke; duke marries a
princess, and by the failure Of the male line
his son or grandson becomes king.
Most often, however, the foreign line comes
f., and so it has resulted that every country
in Europe, except Turkey, has a foreign OF
half foreign monarch. Thus the reignine
British house of Brunswick is German. Be
fore it the house Of Orange was Dutch, and
before that the house of Stuart was Scotch:
the house of Tudor was originally Welsh, and
while the preceding monarchs of Yorlcist and
Lancastrian lines were English, their com.
mon ancestors, the Plantagenets, would bet,
ter be classed as French. The royal family
of Denmark is not Danish, though that OF
Greece is. The king Of Sweden is French
The car is not strictly a Russian. The Ger.
man emperor is Russo British German; the
king of Bulgaria is a recent importation from
Germany, and the king of Italy is from the
same original stock as Queen Victoria.-J. H
Beadle.

Radical French Women.

A Paris correspondent, writing to The
Woman's Cycle asserts that French women
are becoming clainorous for a seat in the
chamber of deputies, and describes a meet
ing Of the "Women's Protective League and
Socialist Republican Federation ~ which was
held to appoint the female candidates to be
brought forward at the elections. Although
800 women were present, a man, NJ Jules
Roques, of The Courier Francaise, was called
upon to preside. Mime. D. st. Hilaire opened
fire hg speech in the lengthy preamble TO
which she deplored having wasted so many
years in the writing of verses before she
came forward to vindicats the rights of
women, and was about to proceed when
rustic Of silk was heard and a slim, elegantly
dressed lady, with a dagger in her yellow
hair, stepped upon the platform, and Mime.
St. Hilaire was Obliged to retire, much to her
vexation.
This lady vested with so much authority
was Nine de Valsayre famous in France for
her opposition to NJ. Pasteur, her fondness
for dueling, and her petitions to parliament
for the privilege Of dressing in male attire,
which privilege, although granted to Rosa
Bonheur, George Sand Nine. Dieulafoy, the
celebrated Persian explorer, Nine. Foucault,
the bearded woman, and two female stone
cutters, for the annual sum Of $40, has been
denied TO her.
She Is a forcible speaker, with a strong,
masculine voice. and she insisted that men
had no right to consider whether it would be
wise TO enfranchise women or not, for by the
very act of paying taxes woman has enfran-
chised herself and made herself equal with
man. She also claimed that people would
quickly get used to seeing woman solicit
votes as a candidate for election TO the cham
bers as they had to many other things, toma.
toes for example, and that when the electors,
convinced Of the eligibility Of woman for
office, should put her name upon the tickets
success follows.
Mime. Normand and Mile. Boulanger-no
relation TO the general-and other apostles of
equal rights addressed the meeting, all agree
ing that the only way Of improving the un-
state Of affairs in France was to
send several women to parliament

If a man has been a captain in the war
never call him captain; call him colonel. he
Is entitled to this promotion twenty-four
years after the war closed. The only men
proud to be called captain are the command

major Is comparatively rare, Rpd therefore
IS really more of a distinction than colonel.
Only prominent people who have seen actual
service wear the title; for instance, Mai.

A New American Conservatory OF Music.
NJ Theophile Manowry, the well known
baritone of the Grand opera in Paris, who re
Gently arrived in New York, will shortly be-
gin his duties as director Of the vocal depart
ment Of the new National Conservatory OF
Music in New York city, of which Mrs. Jean.
nette NJ Thurber is president. Mrs. Thurber,
who is now abroad hearing that NJ Manowry
had graduated with first honors at the Paris
conservatory, and having him recommended
to her in the highest terms by such well
known musicians as Gounod, Saint-Saens,
Massenet and Ambrose Thomas, persuaded
him to give up his brilliant professional ca
reer abroad to accept the vocal directorship
of this new National conservatory, in which
she is somuch interested. Mrs. Thurber,s late
efforts to establish national opera in the
United States viii naturally make this new
movement Of hers of great interest. Her idea
is that America, which has done so much for
education in other lines, should establish and
endow a musical university, open to rich and
poor alike, where art is not subordinated to
money, and where Americans with talent can
obtain musical instruction under. the direction

CHOICE STOCK OF CAREFULLY GROWN
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1889-04-27
CENTENNIAL INVOCATION.

O, Washington! We invoke thy spirit
of lofty patriotism, Thou hast loved
thy country unselhshly, in true devo-
ton. Ever ready to obey the call of the
people to service; ever mindful of the
duties a patriot owes to his country;
ever conscientious III performing them.
But thy grandest trait was, after all, thy
self-denial in recognizing the interests
Of the country as paramount to all else
the readiness to surrender power at
the earliest moment compatible with the
service the cause of the people imposed
on thee.
May the reflections on the greatness
of thy character put to shame the pig
mics Of our day, and cause to awaken
them to the consciousness of how utter.
ly unworthy they are, and absolutely
unfit to do justice to thy memory.
They are aping the steps thou didst take
in coming to New York in 1889, as if
that qualified them to be thy successors.
They are incapable of understanding
the motives that actuated thy deeds, for
they know no other cause than self.
They proclaim it audaciously in their
practice of "tO the victors belong the
spoils." They know not the cause of
the people for which thou didst conse.
crate thy life. The nation is betrayed
by them. May the people awaken in
reverent memory Of thee; may the true
patriotism to which the history of thy
life so grandly appeals, be rekindled, and
which the condition of the country so
urgently calls for This is our invoca-
ton in these memoria! days of 1889.
