PRINCE BAUDoUIN. who died the other day,
does not deserve to rank with Prince Rudolph
in the Imagination of the European correspond
ents. Ever since Rudolph's death princes have
been more or less under cloud of amatorious
\ disposition. The glamour and romance is thick
enough in its way, but it is hardly fair to COM
pare prince OF the stamp of Baudouin to the
diss1pated and emaciated debauche of Austria.
Rudolph had nothing to live for in the world
| but record of misdeeds and excuses which
were wound up IN the crash of pistols and a
! brutal intrigue. The rumors Of the affection OF
Baudouin for beautiful German governess in
the family have been lying about Europe for
SIX months, but it is as unfair TO her as it is to
the dead prince to place his regards for her in
| the same category as that made up of the In
| trigues of Prince Rudolph of Austria.

HERE is peculiar legend of the Indians, as

| Agency. says the Omaha Bee The legend,
which was related to the Indian children at the
agency, was of their forefathers' belief to the
| cause OF the disappearance of the moon. He
said the belief was that every time new moon
appeared it was a signal for all the mice
| in the country to gather themselves together
| IN one spot. When they assembled
| they separated in four great armies
One army went to the north, another

/ until they came to the moon, which by this

scamper back down the heavens to the earth
and wait for her to show herself again, when
