only cases that 1 can recall are those
 of the sister of the late czar, who is the consort of the reigning duke of Co.,
 burg; the Grand Duchess Arastasia,
 widUw of the late ruler of Mecklen- berg-Sckwerin, who committed suicide i at Cannes a couple of years ago; the
 Grand Duchess Vera of Wurtemberg,
 whose husband, Duke Eugene, was i killed by a betrayed husband, and the queen of Greece, while in times gone i by we have had only a queen of Hol- land, queen of Wurtemberg, and a
 queen of Prussia, who have been prin- cesses of the house of Romanoff
 It may be of interest to mention that Prince Louis of Ita1y's brother, the count of Turin, who spent some time in this country last year, being exten- si7ely entertained is now visiting China and Japan his stay in the Unit ed States having proved insufi either to put an end to the entangle-
 ment, or to the scandal resulting there from, which had led his uncle, King
 Humbert, to order him to travel
 abroad.
 It is hardly necessary for me to add
 that in the event of Prince Louis mar

 The Eatons are renowned for their | smartnesS and elegance in dress, and being Coventry people, may be said to atone in the elaborateness of their at tire for the shortcomings in that re- spect of Lady Godiva of that city, the decolette ancestress of the present or CdntefDury.
 Let me add that the present Lord i CheylesmOre, who is unmarried, and who will be succeeded in the paeraga i by Col. Herbert Eaten, possesses the i finest private collection in the kingdom i of Landseer's paintings, the gem of his | gallery being the celebrated "The Mon | arch of the Glen" These paintings. a5 well as his unrivaled collection of Eng l fish mezzOtint portraits, are preserved 1 at his country seat, the manor of Chey- | lesmore, near Coventry, a place once owned and occupied by Edward the |, Black Prince.
 Although there is a disposition in | some of the English papers to criticise ! the promotion of Queen Victoria's cou- ! sin, the duke of Cumberland and of Brunswick, to the rank of general in i the British army on the ground that it is a purely complimentary one yet 1 it is only fair to point out that in the , 1rst place the duke draws no pay from he English army, and that, unlike many other generals of the latter, ! princely and otherwise, he has been
