WALES SON-IN-LAW,
Some Inside Scenes in the Life OF the
Duke of Fife.

Some Inside Scenes IN the Life Of the
Duke of Fife.
Mdrquise de Fontenoy in New York Recorder.
The best hated man in GreAt Britain,
since the last few days, is the Prince Of
Wales son-in~law, the Duke Of Fife. The
sudden manifestation of the popular ami
mostly against him is due not so much to
any recent act Of his own as to the fact that
by the death of the Duke OF Clarence, and
the delicate health of Prince George of
Wales, who is only just recovering from that
most insidous Of all maladies, typhoid fever
his wife, the Princess Louise, is now brought
within measurable distance of the throne
And the prospect of seeing the Duchess of
Fife succeed to the crown as Queen of Eng
land and Empress of India is one which is
most distasteful not only to the classes but
also to the masses.
1t Is doubtful whether the people would
permit such an event to come to pass. and
it is probable that 1t would lead TO q revolu-
tionary movement, similar to that which
was on the eve of breaking out in favor Of
the Duke of Cumberland at the time of
Queen Nlctoria's accession to the throne
Indeed, there has already been talk of a
project to place the queens second son, the
Duke Of Edinburgh, next in the line of sue
cession after Prince George of Wales, and
before the Duchess of Fife. Possibly the
Duke Of Edin eurgh has soma such PRESENT.
ment rs It's in his mind, for he has
recently announced his intention OF sur
rendering his rights of succession to the
sovereignty of the duchy Of Sake Coburg -
GOtha 10 his son.
Seeing that his wife, the czar's sister. Is
most anxious for sovereign rank in order to
give her what she considers suitable prece-
dence at court. it is scarcely likely that the
Duke of Edinburgh would have abdicated
his Saxe-Coburg-G rights in favor of
his son did he not have better prospect in
view nearer home.
FLIES BLEMISHED ANCESTRY.
The Duchess Of Fife is by no means a
woman Of strong character and is entirely
under the influence of her husband. Were
she, therefore, in course Of time to ascend
the throne the British empire, would to ali
intents aud purposes, be ruled by the Duke
Of Fife himself.
Now, both the ancestry, the family and
the personal situation of the duke are such
as TO render this intolerable to the British
people In the first place, che dukes grand
mother was one Of the Legitimate daugh>

A WAR SCARE AT sYLvANIA.

The Captain of the scriven Troop
Plays a Joke on His Company.
SYLvANIA, GA, Jan. 21.-The Scriven
Troop met and paraded here Tuesday. Capt.
j. J. Brewer in command. The Troop has
recently purchased new gauntlets and leg
gins, and yesterday, when rugged out in all
OF their warlike apparel, the boys looked
right soldierly. A good deal of fun was had
at the expense of some OF the younger men,
bers. The captain read what purported to
be @ communication from the Secretary Of
War replying to letter from himself in
which the services of the Screven Troop
were offered in case Of hostilities with
Chile. The secretary expressed his
qualification at the patriotism displayed by
the young men of Scriven in volunteer
ing their services to go to the forefront OF
war, and in accepting the same stated that
they might hold themselves in readiness as
they would probably receive orders TO sail
the coming week. AS the captain read the
letter in an earnest and stentorian voice a
deep hush fell upon the young troopers
Faces that were wreathed with smiles q
moment before, grew sad and thoughtful;
and as visions of deep seas and fierce
Chileans began to loom before them
many prepared for instant flight
