THE CASINO AT MONTE CARLO.


borne by one man, a wealthy None
gasQue. a philosopher, although he can
neither read nor write.
Monte Carlo is par excellence a place
in which to w property, as there are
no taxes Of any kind; everything is
paid by the Casino. Almost every
spot is now built upon, and consider
ing the demand there is during the sea
son rents are astonishingly low. There
had for the same price that one would
pay for a fourth story hall bed room
in New York, $40 per month. But pro-
visions are very high, owing to the
necessary duties. AS an example, SUI
gar sells for twelve cents a pound, po-
tatoes four cents, and ham and bacon
forty cents a pound. Fruit is high,
and milk and cream are about the same
as in America. Chickens are the
only things not sold by weight, and
they range in price from forty cents
upward. A woman in Monte Carlo is
glad to do housework for six cents an
hour, without board; but no IL suf-
fers from poverty there, al they have
learned the true art of economy.
Monte Carlo is governed by the
prince of Monaco, and is under the
protection of France. The latter
friendly relations can be instanced in
the matter of postage, as a letter can
be sent to any part of France from
Monte Carlo for the same rate that is
necessary to carry it in France, while
to any other country a five cent stamp
instead of a three must be used. The
Credit Lyonnaise, which stands on the
border of France, can be seen from the
shoulders and reply that Monte Carlo
often walk into France for the purpose
of posting their letters. When remind
ed that 1t is simpler to drop them in
the box at the Casino, they shrug their
shoulders and repl ythat Monte Carlo
has a world wide reputation for wick
edness and 1t is best for anxious friends
at home to see the postmark of France.
When in Monte Carlo, Prince Albert
and his family live in the palace, which
is still, although modernized, a fine
specimen of the Renaissance He has
one son by his first wife, who is in the
army. The princess also has two chill
dren by her first husband, the Duke of
Richelieu. The prince, however, is
fond of science and spends most of his
time on board the yacht Alice, named
after his wife, pursuing his studies in
ocean-ography. They are never. in
Monte Carlo until the LIST of January,
when the true season for gaiety begins.
The English people do not leave their
homes until after Christmas. and the
French remain for New Years.
The place is admirably governed, and
its inhabitants soon learn that there
are certain things they must not do.
The registration Ia very strict, No
stranger is allowed to stop there even
as a guest longer than two weeks with
out permission of the p~rincipality.
Good behavior is also essential, and if
a complaint is ever lodged against M
he is promptly requested to leave the
place, and may never return. He can
pass through on the trains, but must
not stop over. For these reasons many
women whom circumstances have
placed so that they must live alone
make their homes in Monte Carlo. And
perhaps nowhere else can. they enjoy

A Yankee Romance.

Hawthorne found romance on the
shores of old New England, and there
is a good deal of it unmined in the
modern life of the Yankees. The fol-
lowing story of love and marriage,
strange as it may seem, is known to
the writer to be true:
Years ago a summer boarder, at a
cottage on a point of land which form
ed the protecting arm of the harbor of
a fishing town in Massachusetts, was
shown a girl baby only a few months
old. He looked at the babe and ad-
mired; then said to the mother:
will you give me that babe for my
wife,"
The mother had known the young
man for several summers; she liked
him, and therefore answered promptly,
Yes
will you promise never to tell her
that you have selected me as her hus-
band?"
Yes
The conditions of the singular be-
trothal were observed. The girl baby
grew up; and summer after summer
the young man courted her. When she
was IS he married her, and not till
then did she know hat she had, been
betrothed to her husband while in her
cradle. Can old nan be more ro-
mantle than this story of a New Eng
and fishing town?

The battle won by a king after his
death was the victory achieved by the
people of the Cid in Spain. Three days
after the Cid's death his capital was
by the Moors in great force.
His people washed and dressed the
body, clad it in q suit of the finest mail
and tied 1T upon a horse, and surround
ing 1T by a brilliant cavalcade of Off
GERS and attendants, went forth to bat
tie. The Moors were panic-stricken at
sight of the Cid, of whose death they
had been informed and, after a brief
struggle, broke ranks and fed in wild
confusion. Tradition says that over
10000 Moors were drowned in their
efforts to get to their ships, and that
of thirty-six chiefs, twenty-five wero
slain on the field.

MR.. WERsTER's CLEVER STORY
Apt Little C6mparison Handed Down
from Early Days.

APe Little comparison Handed Down
from Early Days.
Recently / had occasion to recall
some of the incidents in the life of
Daniel Webster, whose 116th birthday
occurred a short time ago, and whom I
heard in the United States senate for
of whose speeches and orations from
my student days I had been a diligent
reader and enthusiastic admirer, says
a writer in the Boston Transcript. 1T
was during the campaign which result
ed in the election of Gen. Taylor that
the incidents which | am about to ie-
late occurred. A great mass meeting
happened to be, and Mr.. Webster had
been prevailed upon to make a speech
In behalf Of the whig candidate, Mar
tin Van Buren,, who had been success
sor to Gen. Jackson In the presidency
and a democrat all his days, had been
nominated by the free-soil party. Those
who had known him as an arch-poli-
tician made no little sport when it was
announced that Van Buren, had joined
the abolitiOnists. His friends alleged
that a great change had come over him
and that he had been suddenly con-
verified to the anti-slavery ideas. When
Mr.. Webster came to pay his respects
to the free-soil candidate he said: 81
met a few days ago a gentleman who
said: Mr.. Webster. you have no idea
of the change which has come over Mr..
Van Buren, and went on extolling the
new convert. Now said Mr.. Web
ster, Il am reminded of an incident
which occurred when DR.. Kirkland was
president of Harvard college. A min
lister from one of the rural districts
called upon the president of Harvard
and said: L have called upon you,
Brother Kirkland, to get your advice
about a matter which is giving some
of us a great deal of anxiety. The
fact is, some of our church members
are getting loose notions concerning
one of the important articles of faith:
that Is, the doctrine of the p~ersever-
ance of the saints, and | called to get
your advice as to the best method OF ar
resting the heresy.' All, my brother
said DR.. Kirkland, in this region We
have far more serious heresy to deal
with, and that is, the perseverance OF
the Sinners And now,' said Mr..
Webster, that is just my trouble with
Mr.. Van Buren,. l have known him
for many years and touching this
question of slavery I fear he will perse-
we're unto the end the same incorrigible
sinner" At this keen stroke of wit
the hall rang with roars of laughter.
General Taylor was elected the twelfth
president of the United States, and
Martin Van Buren, was defeated.

1t Made No DiTerence.

A story told by Rev. T. ]. Leak at
the reunion of the Chapman ushers, is
worth retelling. says the Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph. The doctor dwclt
on the union spirit manifested at the
meetings, and said that people could
always work together when they were
in good spirits. 1t made him think OF
a young couple about to get married.
II evening before the wedding, as
they were talking over the affair, Mary
said: John, there's something l think
sha tell you, which I have never
told you."
VERY WELL" said John, "if you want
to. But / don't care. It won't disturb
me. Tell me, if you want to-"
WELL" said Mary, I'm a
bulist.''

I'm a Presbyterian. We can unite
and join the M~ethodists."

started in the Wm. II. Taylor cot

l. O'Clock. Shortly after the Stearns
cottage took fire from the burning
cinders and both structures were
rapidly consumed. The Taylor cot

estimated at between $4,000 and 81,

furnished with about the same
amount of loss. Both houses were

not been occupied for some time.
