been wooed and won by the distin-

peculiar title enjoyed the prerogative
of calling kings cousins" The Rich
ards had been travelling abroad extern
sively and it was during their stay in
Vienna that the engagement was made
known to friends.
A few weeks afterward everyone was
startled to hear that the Philadelphia
family had arrived in Europe and had
brought the margrave along with them.
They went to the Richards cottage at
Ventnor where many folks OF prom

UNRULY TRIBES OF ALBANIA.
Mixture of Religions, WiIdness of

country, Savagery of People.
Albania, from which we hear reports
OF the usual and almost endemic reyo-
iutionary movements, is about the mos,
unruly and barbarous country in
Europe. The authority of the porte.
save in few of the towns, is practi-
cally nil. The tribal system still sur
wives in full force, and the different
chiefs are constantly at war with each
other The vendetta is the only recog-
nized form of justice, and murders are
OF daily occurrence even at the gates
OF Scutari. No tribute is paid by the
mountain tribes to the porte, as no
revenue officer would dare to demand
1t, even if ecorted by soldiers. The ma

Balkan peninsula, and their language

has little affinity with those of the
Delghboring races. By religion LEY
are divided into Mahommedans. Ortho-
dox Christians and Catholics, the Ma
hommedans being the most numerous.
The country is extremely wild, iino-
cent OF roads and very unsafe for all
strangers. To travel in the interior 1t
is necessary to have a native guide.
preferably woman as the Albanians
nave certain respect for the softer
sex, and one should be well proy,ued
with modern rifles, not only for de-
tense, but to give away as presents.
The traveller is handed ON from one
tribe to another on the word of honor
OF the different chiefs. The most dan.
gerous method of travelling is to go
under an escort of Turkish gendarmes.
Tor the moment their red fezzes are
seen all the natives who are about
shoot without asking questions There
are many districts of Albania where no
European has ventured for eighty or
a hundred years"
The Albanian question will probably
give European diplomatists a good
deal of trouble at no very distant date.
Two powers are credited with having
designs upon the country Italy has a
certain interest in it, partly on ac-
count OF the Number of Albanian colon
les settled in various parts of Sicily
and the southern provinces and partly
because OF its geographical position.
Italians are now trying to develop their
transatlantic trade; they have estab-
llshed commercial agency at Janina,
and Italian schools at Scutari, while
Italian is spoken all along the coast
The other power interested in Albania
is Austria. Her agents, as in old
Servia and Macedonia, are principally
the Jesuits and the Franciscans. but
she has also established consulates in
many OF the towns, and the Austrian
Lloyd fosters trade between the AL
bantam ports and Triest But it is not
likely that either power has serious
aims OF conquest. Albania is too poor
to be worth the trouble of subduing its
warlike and we'll armed inhabitants,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. Austrias
ambitions lie more in the direction of
Salonica, and those of Italy toward
Tripoli Local autonomy under Euro
pean administrators would be the most
satisfactory solution for all parties
concerned.
But it will be a hard task to bring
civilization and order into the country.
