SHOOTING IN KING GEORGIA let
ter from King George county says :
A young man from this county, who
rents one of the large Rappahannock
marshes for hunting and trapping pur-
poses, shot and painfully wounded an
other man a few nights ago. The Gus
todian Of the marsh was seated in his
"blind" preparatory to "opening fire."
on the advancing hosts of wild water
fowls, when suddenly a small boat,
bearing a huptsmau, who had no rights
on the marsh, made its unwelcome ap:
pearance. The proprietor demanded
the name and purpose of the nocturnal
intruder, and the latter making no re-
ply, but meanwhile advancing on the
forbidden waters, the former "opened
fire" upon the unlawful hunter and in
ficted wounds which called forth q
warrant and judicial proceedings.

THE BOY KING OF sERvIA.

The royal tamily of Servia are look :
ing around for some rich American girl
who will marry the boy King, says the
New York Journal, and the only requi-
site she must have is wealth galore to
maintain the regal elegance that is ex-
pected of a royal family.
The King is now 10 years of age and
remarkably strong, his figure is tall and
we'll, but heavily made. His head is
ss round as it can be. His forehead is
low, his jaw firm, aud his short, black
hair straight over the top of his head.
He has a small black mustache and has
snub nose.
The rapid development Of his mus
cular powers during his teens was a
source of surprise to his attendants, and
by no means Of joy. He never hesi-
tates to infict corporal punishmentwhen
he is displeased. Ooce he is related 10
have knocked the heads Of two court
iers violently together. At another
time he threw one of them into the sea.
The King has great personal power,
is commauder-n-chi of the Servian
army and supervises the acts of the ma
tional Legislature. His Queen would
share to great extent in many Of bis
powers.
She would be mistress Of large pal
ace in the capital. Belgrade; of the cas-
tie of Topschider, and splendid pax
near the capital, and of many Other
residences. She would have gre,t
suite of ladies of the bedchamber, cour
tiers and chamberlains at her disposal
for, although Servia is poor, there is no
lack of officials with high-sounding
titles.
She would receive at her court the
homage of noblemen who held their
feudal estates before William the Con-
querer invaded England; even before
the Eastern Empire had gone to ruin,
and the philosophers of Greece had
ceased to teach.
Servia is one of the kingdoms that
sprung up out Of the ruins of the Roman
Empire The people are Slavonic, with
some slight traces of the Roman intlu-
ence. For centuries it was strong and
independent, and then the great power
of the Turkish Empire forcing its way
into Eastern Europe overwhelmed it.
From the fourteenth century it was
Turkish province, and only at the end
of the last century did it begin to assert
its independence.

WHAT IT PAYs.-The consulship at
Havana, just filed by the appointment
of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, is a most lucra-
tive position. The salary, which is
$4,000, is even larger than that of the
consul-general at London, which is
$1,000. But in addition there are
fees that will make the Havana
office worth at least S12,500 if not
$4,000. The same position at London
pays 5000. Mr.. Williams, the retir-
ing consul-general, has accumulated q
competency and therefore retires.
