MISS CAROLINE GUELPH.

An Act of Parliament Prevents Her
from Reigning Over England.
LONDON, May 1.-THE marriage of the
mother of Miss Caroline Guelph, who is
now dying in the work-house, to George
", has been shown to have taken place,
as the records of the church at Kensing-
ton bear mention of it, but it was never
legally recognized, owing to the law that
was passed at the direction of George III.
that none but immediate children of that
monarch be allowed to marry subject of
Great Britain.
1t will be remembered that this law ex-
plred with the death of William w.. the
last son of George III. Had it not been
for the existence of this Act of Parlia-
ment, the marriage would have been duly
recognized, and Miss Caroline, who il
now dying in poverty, would have occu-
pied the throne filled by Queen Victoria
This unhappy condition and circum-
stance has made the situation very diff
cult for Miss Caroline to bear. Until
taken to the workhouse she had lived at
al Parkhurst Row, Rice lane, Peckham.

BUENoS AYREs, May 1.-THE Senate's
refusal to assent to the committee to
inquire into the position of State banks

PERSONNEL OF THE VISITORS
hTisf Points About New York's Executive
and Those with Him.

and Those with Him.
Governor Hill appears TO be about forty.
five years of age. He il a handsome man
and there Is something particularjy
striking about him. He seems every inch
man; lie has magnificent figure and a
splendid carriage, which greatly add 10 bis
d's1,gm appearance. Nearly every one who
saw hiin remarked upon his resemblance
TO Mr., Ben. August, clerk of|the Clty
Council: but II must be admitted that he
Is ben: August on much larger scale. for
ne Will outweigh our popular little citizen
by forty pounds at least. The Chief Execu-
tive OF the Empire State is quite bald.
although that portion of his hair which
remains rs IS by no means gray. but nearly
oIacA' ms premature loss does not
canso him to look old. but, ON the
contrary, there is something striking
~ vigorous and energetic about him.
every movement of the great politician
Is dlgnlhed and he appears perfectly at
ease under all circumstances. When he
stands up TO receive introductions to the
pubhc he holds himself erect and places
MS hands behind him until some one ap-
proaches. when he extends them with the
utmost cordiality and with a pleasant
smile.
OF MILITARY BEARING.
General Slocum appears to be quite nd
taehe are gray, but he still holds himself
erect and shows his military training IN
every movement. In dress he is exceed
ingly neat.
senator voorhees, is quite large man,
and bis beard aud moustache are tinpej
with gray. He did not ride around with
the party yesterday. as he was feeling
somewhat unwell, and deemed it best TO
take = rest until the meeting at the Acade-
my of Music.
hr. Alexander Dovle. the New York
sculptor. who has already attained such
celebrity, appears to be about forty-f five
years OF age. He does not look bit like
an artist, and laughed quite heartily when
some one said they expected to find him
with long hair and those eccentricities of
dress which frequently characterize such
men of genius.
NORTHERN AMONG FRIENDS.
Colonel Charles S. Northen, chairman
OF the committee of Georglans who went
10 Albany TO escort Governor Hill to At
lanta, Is a nephew of Governor Northen
and member of that officials stan. He
Is quite young and the soul of jollity and
merrlment. Colonel Northen has many
friends III Richmond and appears to be a
gentleman who makes himself popular
everyW here he goes. Hels chairman OF the
Young Mems Democratic League of Allan
ia.
Another pleasant fellow on this commit
zee Is Mr. j. Il. Holiday, the representative
Of the Atlanta Constitution, who was private
secretary 10 Henry Grady during the life
OF the lamented editor. The other MEN,
bers of the party from Atlanta are all
young men of high standing, and great
majority of them are professional men.
They are all members OF the Young Mems
Democratic League.

novel aud new to South Boston, but is
none the less happy in its effects and inhu-
ences.
The sum of 81, 700 has been collected and
presented to Mr.. Fife. and yet the people
are not satisfied and say this sum does not
begin to pay the evangelist for his great
work.
