than to tell you what he thinks Of you.
You can make suggestions to him, too,
Tell him to stop the horses. Holler it

The Archduchess Macia Theresa, Of
Bavaria. and her eldest son, Prince
Rupprecht, but for the fact that their
ancestorsrefused 70 adopt the Protes-
tant faith, would to-day occupy the
positions Of Queen OF England
and Prince 'of Wales respectively.
Public interest, says the Jacob
tte Miscellany, has been stirred up In
this princess BY the publication Of the
undoubted fact that MS she is descend
ed from Charles |, while Queen Victoria
is merely descended from James zone
step further back in the pedigroe), she
is rightfully Mary IL, monarch 81 Great
Britain and Ireland. The prior right
of her ancestors to the throne were,
however, rendered Of no avail, because
they refused TO give up the Catholic
faith. The Houseof Brunswick, which
had no particular religion Of its own,
but was willing to adopt any which
would give it power, stepped in and
received the crown to which il had no
constitutional right.
Even If the English Jacobites, with
the Earl Of Ashburnham, the Marquis
de Ruvigny and the rest Of their fol-
lowing, do not succeed in placing
Princess Marin Theresa ON the English
throne, that lady win soon become
Queen Of Bavaria. Her husband,
Prince Ludwig, is the present heir to,
and regent of, that kingdom. She was
born July 5, lS40. Her son and hsir.
Prince Rupprecht, was born May Is,
1860. The princes second name Is
Charles, and the Jacobites call him
"charles Rupert, Prince Of Wales. J"
He is said to resemble his ancestor, the
Merry Monarch.

KNIGHTS TENPLAR.
A MAGNIFICENT PAGEANT IN
DENVER.
MORE THAN 10000 HANDSOMELY
UNIFORMED KNIGHTS IN THE
PARADE YESTERDAY.

DENVER, CAL, Aug. 10. The
knights Templar have possession of
the city as much as IL it were one Of
the old Eastern cities they captured
during the Crusades. Everything is
theirs except the possessions of a very
few retail dealers, who are determined
to make all they can out of them. The
Knights filed the streets, buildings,
and the clubs all day yesterday. The
conclave has been opened, and every
body was glad; but there was much
regret when the parade broke, for it
was such a pageant that spectators
meyer seemed to tire of watching. The
air was filed with dancing plumes and
flaming swords.
The parade was in every sense a
magnificent pageant. The details
We're 50 perfect that not the slightest
hitch occurred anywhere. There were
nearly 100000 people scattered along
the line Of march when the parade
started. In the downtown districts
spectators stood five and ten feet deep;
uptown the crowd was not so large.
but every accessible point of vantage
was crowded. It is estimated that 3d.
900 knights were in line.

CHOLERA AND SMALLPOX.

The Maryland State board Of health
has issued q pamphlet for distribution
throughout the State calling attention
to the wide diffusion Of smallpox in
Europe and America and to the rapid
advance Of Asiatic cholera into Eu-

for alarm it the United States, but the
board thinks it prudent to take pre-
caution against possible danger in the
future. The pamphlet also contains
suggestions for the prevention and re-
striction of smallpox and cholera.

a SUPPOSED DEsERrER.

On the 9th inst, an unknown man
was killed near Weverton by train
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
and his body was taken to Brunswick
and placed in a warehouse where 1t
remained until it was absolutely neces-
sary to remove it. A citizen of Bruins
wick had the body removed from the
warehouse and buried beside the rail
road track, without any ceremony. No
inquest was held. There was no mark
or bruise on the man and it was evil
dent that his neck had been broken.
He was well-dressed, fine looking
young fellow, apparently about %
years of age, nearly 6 feet in height,
weighing about $50 pounds. In little
note book found on the body was the
address of Rosa Smith, San Francisco
also the name Of Miss Rosenshell,
Georgetown, D. c. The latter was
telegraphcd, but could not be found.
His clothing was neat and clean, and
had the number 3 on them. Just as
the body was being put into the coffin
for burial some one examined the
mans handkerchief and found number
3 on it alsos as well as the name Of
John ]. Kelley. The note book also
stated that the owner had enlisted last
December, and was stationed in the
West. The man had been looking for
work in Brunswick the day before he
was killed. He Is supposed to have
been deserter or just discharged from
the army.

Editor WORLD:
For some time past my attention has
been called to the indecent and de-
grading actions of some of our sup
posed civilized people, and persons
who make great profession. If the
veil Of nights darkness could only be
raised on the scenes constantly going
on around the city, in the suburbs and
out-of the-way places, what horrible
picture would be presented. How
many wives, children, aud husbands,
would cover their heads with shame
for the remorseless conduct Of loved
oaes. | refer only to the bush-wack-
ing going on in such places as the
lime-kiln, and towards the old fair
ground, on South Water street. have
been ma eyewitness to many scenes
that would forever disgrace some of
the would-be high-tcned men and
women of this city. Respect for their
families, and pity for their helples
children, only forbids the giving of
names; but say take warning from
this article. If this work is repeated,
they will be published.
All classes of people, whites and
negroes, mingle together, and many
would doubtless leave the community
il their names were given to the pub
lic. These places are not the only
ones, but the entire outskirts of the
city are alive with these characters
after nights darkness once settles
down. Some Instances would be hard
to prove, but who in the name of com
mon decency would draw any good in
ference from sucha matter, when they
know decent person has no business
whatever in such. out-of-the-way

Yet these same persons hold them

is, they reign when the humblest form
of decency is in a respectable place,
and when none care to bother them.
What connection would be caused
