ALMOST A PRINCESS.

Startling Eccentricity of Wealthy En-
SIsh Widow Living in Paris.
Here is an illustration of this state
of affairs matrimonial. Any one who
goes often to drive in the Bots de
Boulogne may have noted among the
habitues of the place tall. raw-boned
Englishwoman, with a hard, red. I'M
progressing face, who is known as
Lady p. She was an English demi-
mondaine, who was married by her
lover, a wealthy manufa cturer, on his
death-bed. so that she might inherit his
title, together with the large fortune
that he had bequeathed to her by will.
She has lived in Paris for years, and is
noted for coming to the Bois from time
to time in a state of uprOarious intoxica-
ton, when she will shrek and screech
and shake her fist out of her carriage
window an any body and every body
whose looks or equipage may chance to
displease her.
She was at one time forbidden all ac-
cess to the Bots for some months, be-
cause during one of these attacks she
INDUCED in threatening bowls and gest-
ures toward the Prince of Wales, she
having gone to call on the Princess and
having been refused admission. In
spite of her character and her pecul.
iarities, this improper and eccentric
dame was sought in marriage by the
chief of one of the great princely
houses of Europe, noble whose proud
pedigree and lofty title figure among
the principal ornaments of the Alma
mach de Gotha outside the records of
royalty The lady accepted, the pre-
liminaries of the marriage were dis
cussed and arranged, and the date of
the wedding definitely settled. But
at an evil hour Lady \" decided
upon giving grand dinner party
to celebrate her betrothal to Prince
L 1t was very superb affair, and
the Prince was intailed in the post of
honor as host Toward the close of the
dinner the fine wines that had been
freely supplied during the banquet quite
got the better of the hostess discretion.
She suddenly hurled tumbler at the
head of Prince Z. and shouted in
stentorian tones to her valet to put
that man out of the house; he had come
there to steal the spoons! That little
scene was more than even q pennies
Prince could stand. and SO Lady Il
lost all chance of becoming the Princess
Z. Yet she might have managed IL
/ think, in spite of that little scene, had
she only doubled the income she agreed
to settle on her aristUcratdp suiton-

The LonTfelIow Family.

The most interesting spot in Cam
bridge is the old Longfellow house.
where Miss Longfellow. the eldest
daughter, and Rev. Samuel Longfeilow,
the brother of the poet, now live. The
house looks exactly as it did in the old
days when the great poet received his
friends with sweet and gentle courtesy.
His spirit seems to haunt the rooms and
halls. and will be ever present to those
who had the privilege of his friendship.
The two younger daughters. Mrs Rich
ard Fl. Dane and Mrs Joseph G. Thorpe,
Jr., have built houses adjoining the old
estate, so that the Longfeilow sisters
live side by side. in the order of primo
geniture. Across Brattle street is the
little park named in honor of the dead

Tho Valley City boys cane home from Hope
last Saturday after leaving $50 which had
been collected from various citizens, as herebe-
ior5 mentioned and set forth. The score at
the end Of the game stood to in favor OF
Hope. Our boys say they were shabbily treat
ed by the Hope boys throughout, as they did
not even ask them to dinner. Charlie Berry
says tho people in and around that village
don't know anything but baseball and II our
boys could have had a square meal before eat
ing, Hope would have even been short on that.

The above shows how truthful are tho VAL
ley City baseball boys who dropped their Nifty
dollars into the treasury Of the Hope nine. III
the first place they misrepresent the score,
which was 13 10 in favor Of Hope. Our boys
treated them like gentlemen, but probably
they dill not recognize 1t as such, because they
were not use TO gentlemanly treatment. The
r,ason they did not take our money was be-
cause they could not play ball. OR boys say
