 did not turn out altogether happily
 and after her death there were some
 very painful incidents in connection with ghOulish attempts to destroy rht

 Oughly be understood that the chc:ce
 of Archduke Francis Ferdinand in looking for wife is restricted exclu- siVely to royal and imperial princesses

 I observe that young Count Karmel son of the marquis of that ilk, who
 was formerly an officer Of the papll
 ZOuaves, has just become engaged to
 be married to the only daughter of a
 very wealthy French engineer Of the
 name Of Villar, who has a handsome
 residence in Paris on the Boulevard
 Malesherbes and a country seat in the
 vicinity of the capital. This young
 nobleman, whose mother was a Miss Kearney of New Jersey, spent some
 time in this country, and was the hero of all sorts of sensational episodes a
 few years age, which comprised his
 being locked up both in prison and in sanitariums, while on one occasion, when he endeavored to make his way to Europe as a stowaway On the same liner as that on which his maternal grandfather was travelling, he was dis covered before the Sandy Heck pilot let the vessel and put aboard the pilot boat. In fact, there is no end to the sensational episodes with which the name of this exceedingly turbulent young man was connected on this side of the water. It is to be hoped that ne will be steadied by marriage. The projected union will provide for his material welfare, as his bride is an hoiress.
 One of the features of English life among the upper classes is the cele- bratiOn of the coming of age-the tWenty-frst birthday-of the heir to landed property There have been quite number Of young peers who have come of age during the present year, and the enthusiastic part taken in the festivities by the tenants, the working classes and the people of the district indicate a very happy and pleasant condition Of affairs between I1lS SI cat lduu ONu0IS duu JuGlE I9H- ants, and employees, a condition Of af- fairs all the mere remarkable in view of the animosity that prevails in so many other cases between the employ CTS and the employed. The coming of age celebration is something more than a mere jolEf1cation. It is the occasion when the tenants, the working classes, 1 the tradeSpeOple. etc, Of the district l are for the first time brought into con tact and into direct relations with the | young man who is destined in course | of time to become their landlord their i master, and their patron; in fact, the | man upon whose behavicr and char | acter much of the happiness and pros | 1erity of the locality will depend. On | he other hand the youth himself is brought face to face with the sense of | he great moral and material respon- abilities that the possession of land md, in particular, of ancestral estates, ,arries with it in the old world It must thoroughly be understood that a and owner in Europe is morally re- ;ponsible for the material welfare of every man, woman and child not merely on his estates, but even in the ,ntire district
 It has always been a matter Of as to me that rich men in this whc are sufficiently rich to nable their sons to live a life of leis- Ire, do not invest more of their super luous money in landed property, not | o much as a pecuniary investment as or the sake of providing some of those obligations and responsibilities for heir sons which would help the latter o keep straight A young man who nows that he is heir to a large landed state, all the people resident upon which will look up to him as the prin- ipal person of their district, as the i ord bountiful of the countryside, and $ the species of hub around which the ntire locality revolves, is much more : likely to keep straight than the youth of superabundant means, Tho has no obligations or responsibili- ies of any kind toward his fellow reatures, and who feels that if he yes a life of drunkenness and dissi- ation there is no one to suffer but imself and whom his mode Of life lone concerns.
 There are such large number of : lembers Of the great Scottish clan of lindsay in the United States that it nay interest a number of readers to ,arn that a fortnight hence great of the clan will be held at dZeI castle, the old home of the cn the braes Of Angus, in le land of the Lindsays
