 world at 9 most inCpportune moment that led to the marriage between Sir l Hugh SmithsOn and the heiress Of the l Percys and of the SeymOuTs, and had
 it not been with the object Of legaliZ-
 ing their relations, and thus putting an
 end to a more or less public scandal,
 the parents of the lady wCIld never | have permitted her to contract what
 was from 9 social point Of view so ter 1 rible mesalliance. James Smithscn | was sent in early bOyhcOd across the
 sea to this country in order to cause | people tc forget the indiscretiOn of his 1 parents pricr to their marriage. The
 Smithsons are descended from an apothecary in London, whereas the an cestry of the Percys and of the Sey- nours is probably the most illustriOus in all the peerages Of Great Britain, Smithson the apothecary, does not, however. stand alone as the only mem her of his class whose descendants have

 Eton college has 10 longer any royal pupils As stated in these letters, the young duke of Albany was removed about two weeks before Christmas in of serious illness, and now the duke of COnnaught, after obtain ing the permission of his mother, the queen, has removed his only son Ar | thur from the grand old college, where | the boy has been for Q little less than two years.
 He was to have been taken in han1 ! by a private tutor with a view to en- | Jsring the military academy at Sand i hurst 2 year hence; but ewing to his | father having become, by the de2th Of Prince Alfred Of Coburg, next heir to . the duch:es Of C0buTg and Gotha, it | is probable that young Prince Arthur will be sent to the school of cadets at Pctsdam with 2 view to his receiving 5,a f7roi inc of 0 off f 3 German prince, racher than an Eng fish royal soldier, the idea being to thus fit him for his eventual duties of sovereign duke of Coburg and of Eotha.
