THE PRINCESS TROUBETSKOl.
Her III Health Alone Retards Her
Spiendid GeiliuS.

CHARLOTTBSVTLLE VA, July s.
Snecial-For months there has been a
grea. dead published in Northern journals
in reference to Ameiie Rives, now Princess
Troubetzkoi, the famous Virginia author
eSs. Many OF the reports about her health
have been greatly exaggerated, and some
things which have been written in reference
"A her condition have had no foundation
whatever.
II is true that the Princess has been
quite sick for some time al the home Of her
father, Col. Alfred i. Rives, al Caste
Hell" AIhcmarie county, Va. Her trouble,
according to the opinion of her medical ad-
wiser. is nervous prostration brought on
from overworll" Nearly month ago
tha Princess was taken suddenly worse,
and her husband was summoned to her
bedside: hut recently her condition is said
10 be much improved, though she is Very
weak. Her mind is not affected, and there
Is no truth in the statement that she re-
f1,sse TO see her husband and other mem
bers Of the family. She seems to be de-
voted TO her husband, who is daily by her
bedside and is very sympathetic, render
Ing such aid as he can 10 her comfort and
RESTORATION Until her extreme Illness,
about month ago, the Princess had been
engaged daily on new book, which she
had anticipated giving TO the publisher
early this fall, but owing 10 sickness she
mas been able TO write but little, at IN
tervals for some time.
The hope of her physician and her I'M
mediate friends is that she may soon pc
restored Ia her former health and Vigor,
and that the public may, at an carly day,
have the pleasure Of hearing from her
gifted pen again

condemn the ill-concealed Republican
alliance with England which must mean
discrimination against ether friendly ma
tons and which has already stiiied the
nations voice. while liberty is being
strangled in Africa.
Believing in the principles of self
government and rejecting as did our fore
fathers the claim of monarchy, we view
with Indignation the purpose of England
TO overwhelm with force the South
African Republics Speaking as 40

STRICT ECONOMY.
I'VE denounce the lavish appropriations
OF recent Republican Congresses which
have kept taxes high and which
strengthen and pcrpetuate the oppressive
war leVies. We oppose the accummua-
ton Of surplus TO be squandered in
such bare-face1 frauds upon the tax pay
ers as the shipping subsidy bill, which
under the false pretenCe of prospecting
American ship building would put I'M
earned millions into the pockets of fav-
orite contributors to the Republican cam
paisn fund. We favor the reduction and
speedy repeal of the war taxes and re-
turn to the time-honored Democratic policy
of strict economy in governmental eX-
pendtures.
believing that our most cherished in
situations are in great peril that the very
existence of our constitutional Republic
is al stake and that the decision now &c
be rendered will determine whether or
not our children are to enjoy those blessed
privileges Of free government which have
made the United States great and pros
porous, we earnestly ask for the foregoing
declaration of principles and hearty sup
port of the liberty-loving American peo-
pie, regardless of previous party af-
