GRANDDAUGHTER OF QUEEN VICTORIA
TO MARRY THE EARL OF FIFE.

A bove is portrait, made from the
latest photograph of her, of the Prin-
cess Louise, eldest daughter and third
| child of Albert Edward, Prince OF
Wales, and his wife, the Princess
Alexandra, who will be married soon
The princess is in her twenty-third
year, having been born February 20
1867. There is nothing in particular
to be said about her. She is an &C.
complished and amiable girl, trained
by her excellent mother to love use.
full employment, and accustomed to a
simplicity of attire which would
startle many favored daughters OF
democratic America. She is not eX-
aotly beauty, but is good-lOoking.
and strongly resembles her father.
Her counter tnce is decidedly of the
Hanoverian mould, like that Of the
prince and his royal mother. She is
to be the wife of the Earl of Fife,
making the second instance within
recent generations of members of the
English royal family marrying below
the rank of royalty. The other eX-
ception is that of her aunt and name
sake, the Princess Louise, who is the
wife of the Marquis of Lorne. Her
betrothal to the Earl of Fife is love
match, and is generally approved by
the people of the United Kingdom.
She will marry nobleman worth
probably more than half million
dollars a year, and who is said to be
a model of pure and noble manhood
1t is rumored that Queen Victoria
will create him Duke of Inverness, on
the occasion of his marriage, title
borne by her majesty's uncle, the
Duke of Sussex, and having for this
reason semi-royal dignity. Whether
this shall be so or not, the rank of the
princess will become that of her hus-
band and no higher. She is to re-
ceive vast number of magnificent
wedding presents. The Rothchilds
will give her a diamond and ruby
necklace worth twenty thousand dol
lars, and the Shah of Persia will pre-
sent her with a gift even more val
liable. Her father, the Prince of
Wales, will give her away. The
wedding day will be July p.

various times claimed to have seen a

Others who saw the alleged monster,
said it was a whale. In one or two
instances affidavits to the truth of
claims were made. 1t is now found
there was some ground for the story
told. Saturday afternoon while two
boys were spearing frogs near the
lake, they saw the monster in a shall
low spot. Assistance was summoned,
and a sea lion seven feet long was
captured. 1t escaped from a circus
here, four years ago, and the fact had
been forgotten.
