wife. That was Princess Louise of
Hcssc. 1t was through his wifes con-
nections that Christian reached the
throne, and it is due largely to her wis
dom and tact that his reign has been
prosperous, for it cannot be denied that
Christian possesses few kingly attri-
butes. His most obsequious courtiers
can scarcely call him bright, and his
consciousness of his dullness has made
him suspicious and stubborn. He re-
CARDS his ministers, who by their wise
administration have gained the popu-
larity which he has failed to acquire,
with dislike.
Christians accession to the throne
came about in a somewhat peculiar
way. In recognition of military serv-
ices somewhat vague, in truth,
Princess Louise's father was made COM
mander in chief of the Danish army,
and subsequently allied himself with
the royal house by marrying the sister
of King Christian VIII. AS the royal
line of Oldenburg threatened to become
extinct, the London protocol of 1852
settled the succession on Princess
Louise, Duke Christians wife. In 1864
she was called to the throne, and the
reign of Christian TX. began. His title
to the crown was made moro perfect
by the Danish people electing him on
the condition that he guarantee them
the integrity of their political constitu-
ton. Further than that, the grand
powers guaranteed the legality of the
monarchy. But both pledges were
broken into fragments.
Before Christian had ruled year the
armies of Prussia and Austria invaded
the dimnutive territory and carved away
two-fifths of Denmark. The duchies of
Holstein and Schleswig were the prin-
cipalities wrested away after a cam
paign which was most disastrous for
the Danish army. The territory was
never regained. The other guaranty,
made to the people by the king, was
nullified ten years afterward when
Christian attempted to fly in the face of
the constitution by governing the king
dom by provisory laws. He has never
succeeded in persuading the represent
atives of the people to legalizc such
action.

JUSTICE BRADLEY.

to Hayes in 1877. He was Of finc judicial

1t has been stated by high authority
that, if he had been entirely free from

his own convictions of the law and con-

RULER OF THE DANES.
King Christian TX. and His Illus
trious Connections.
In His Youth lilo Was Drawing Master
and Now He Is What Would By
Some Iso Called u Very
"Small Potato"

Christian IN, king of Denmark,
while ruler of the smallest kingdom in
the world. has more royal connections
probably than any crowned or I'M
crowned head in existence. Over fifty
years ago he was sutton for the hand
of Queen Victoria, and though rejected
for worthicr prince has lived to be-
como the fathcr-in-law of III. r. IL. the
prince of Wales. After marrying his
daughter Alexandra to that parsonage,
King Christian disposed of another child,
Maria, to the eldest son of Alexander
II. of Russia. Now she is an empress.
Christians son George is now monarch
of Greece, and increased the number of
his family's royal relations by marry
ing the grand duchess of Russia year
after he assembled the throne.
Compared with his present splendid
circumstances, Christians early days
look mean indeed. He was born in 1918,
the son of q prince of Gluclssburg, who,
Notwithstanding noble connections,
like many count of to-day was poor
and proud. His ancestors were gentle
men of fortune, who looked to the
crown and their wits for their liveli-
hood. Christian, however, though en-
titled to the title of duke, condescendcd
to exc out his scanty income by giving
drawing lessons. Twenty years later
he was called to the throne of Den
mark.
Christian lost no flesh after Queen
Victoria declined his proposal, and it is
no disparagement to her to say that he
secured as good woman as she for a

Virginia, was adjudged insane some
months since and sent the asylum. He
Improved rapidly under treatment, and
was released few weeks ago and re-

showed signs of insanity, but on ac-

his father threatened to return him to

mother, who had arisen and with child
was sitting by the fire, noticed the son
casting his eye toward the bed in which
the father was asleep. but before she
was aware of real danger, he seized an
axe and buried the blade deep into his
fathers brain and then fed. The young
man had not been captured yesterday.

ROANOKE GETS IN HER WORK.

1t is no great surprise that the Roam
oke committees, who went to Richmond,
presented some very strong arguments
against the passage of the Kent bill.
Tho very existence of Roanoke is
sumner, when compared with the rea-
soning of the apostles of Mr.. Kent.
The prosperity of Roanoke and this
entire section are stubborn facts in evil
dence against the pet scheme of the
Farmers Alliance. The Roanokers
who went to Richmond know facts when
they see them, and they know, too, how
to present them in the strongest light.
stho present indications are borne
out by future developments and the
Kent bill defeated, Roanoke will be
justly entitled to a share of the glory of
tho victory.

following, 1856, he served as president
of the democratic state convention,
and in 1856 President Franklin
Pierce appointed him United States
district attorney for the state of
Indiana, from which Office he was re-
moved in 1858 by President james Bu-

homestead, well known as "Snake

-Seufert Bros. are reaping fine harvest
this year, and they deserve it all.
Strawberries have now been in market
for over a week, but as they can be

ries have been in market for nearly q
