ROYAL WIDOWS.
Their Number Now In Europe Suggestive OF
the Uncertainty of Royal Lie.

Their Number Now In Europe Suggestive OF
the Uncertainty of Royal Lie.
There never were, I think, so many
royal widows in the regal circles OF
Europe in existence at one time as
there are ut present. Beginning with
Queen Victoria, the Empress Eugene,
and the two German Expresses, Au-
gusta and Victoria, there are now
Queen Christina, of Spain, the Ouch
ess Of Albany, and, latest of all, the
Grand Duchess Stephanie, whose aunt,
the mad Empress Carlotta of Mexico,
has never put on widows weeds, as she
is in daily expectation of the arrival at
her present home of the emperor
Macmillan. What brilliant destiny
that unfortunate Prince threw away
when he left the charming shades of
Miramus to run after the will-o'-the-
wisp grandeurs of visionary empire
in the new world. He would have
been now, by the death of his nephew,
Prince Rudolph, the heir to the Aus
TRAN throne, and popular and beloved
rs he was, he would have been raptur-
ously hailed as the future emperor by
the nations under the sway of Austria.
Napoleon III. did his most fatal work
when he lured the intelligent, amiable
Macmillan from his conjugal happi-
ness and the brilliant possibilities of
his future to work out his own sinister
designs, which were not for the ag-
grandizement of the unfortunate arch
duke, nor even for the regularization
of French claims in Mexico, but which
were simply covert acts of hostility
against the United States. Il have
carved you an empire out of block of
silver" was the remark of Napoleon to
Macmillan when the latter came
to take leave of him. It was not an
empire, but sarcophagus that the
crowned Mephistopheles had followed
out for his iuckless guest, and not
from block Of silver, but from one of
granite-not in sunny Mexico, but in
the dim funeral vault of the Haps-
| burgs.-P0riS Letter.

,.;ncen, Gircs Some Sensible Ad-
D'>'''f rice to Parents.
~. hon John n. Vincent, in recent
..rs in Philadelphia, made some
es. O.. tuthful and interesting state
-. ts The boy he described was the
's ~ who failed to recognize the proprie-
1 :as Of life, who always spoke when it
ere better for him to keep quiet, the
;sv generous, Misunderstanding,
VISITING, everyday boy. Not the bad
-. who was always hanged at twenty
.rs Of age, nor the good boy who al
AVS died at the age of ten.
Taking the boy baby at the starting
ont the bishop drew picture of him
a net, admired and caressed more
han at any other portion of his life.
fter babyhood came the second stage,
ho period when, if any trait in his
,oracter was noticeable, it was the fact
hat he was not a girl; when he BIOS
on,ed out in trousers, into the pockets
{ which he thrust his chubby fists, and
rore boots and always wanted to be out
oors. At this period the boy is ex-
,emelv honest. He always tells what
% thinks, and worse than all, what his
Mother and sister think. The boy for
cts nothing, and his memory at this
,age is simply wonderful.
Then there was hiatus of some four
oars and the boy was introduced at the
GO Of twelve years. Life to him was
ne long April Fool day. This boy
ould run farther, eat more and sleep
oneer than anything created. At this
eriod he had fewer friends and sympa-
hizers than at any time of his life. In
bet, the only friend he now had was his
pother, and no boy should ever forget
bis. The bishop contrasted the life of
Girl of twelve years with that Of boy,
nd thought the girl had much the
e.ter of him. She was dressed neatly
nd was the pride of the family, while
ne boy was always dirty and incorrigi-
lie. At this period OF the boys life he
brned far better estimate of his father
han his father did of him.
The last period of a boys life was
hen he was l6. This glimpse of the
10Y is very brief, for he believes him
iii to be a man. Now he washes in
eriumed soap, oils his hair, takes great
ride in his dress, especially his cravats,
hayes and shaves with fixed purpose
to raise beard. At this time he has
pinions, and the questions of theology
Inch have bothered theologians for
enturies are decided by him off-handed.

ells his father the "old man," and
Pakes great pretenses of authority.
lis confidence in himself is unlimited.
|atat this period his love for his mother
shown in its first manly light, and
the most pleasing trait of his char
ter.
In closing the bishop urged three
ngs in that boys behalf. He would
ave the boy attend public service in
}urch on every Sunday; he believed
bat all boys should be sent to public
tlools, and urged that the best
rschers be selected for his tutors; and
lst, the boy should feel the influence
home life. Then the home should
made pleasant, and he severely con-
Fmned the parlor from which the boy
as excluded.

the probably fatal and very myste>
rious assault on one Reese Plowden,
colored. He was seen at late
hour Monday night in company

ing and presumably out on a
gambling lark, as Reese had just
been paid off and was in the habit
of passing his evenings IN that
way.
He was discovered early yestcr-
day morning near MERGERS ware
house. insensible and terribly heat
en- and cut. His money was gone
and his pockets turned, showing
that whoever did the work had an
eye 10 robbery.
He is still in n semi conscious
condition aud either cannot or will
not tell who assaulted him. The
negroes think it is the work of
Jack the Ripper and are badly
frightened.
Mac Henderson and a negro wo-
man by the name of FANNIE Clay
have been arrested and jailed on
suspicion.
