the children were annoyed. She copied
all his novels after he had finished
them. The family have been hard uL
financially almost all the time, but
they never got into trouble on thai
score because they never went into
debt. Their home was always overrur
with guests, and their hospitality has
kept them poor. They are both strong

fact that they could not afford either

The English have certainly secured

Upon investigation, it is discovered
that more English capital has been in.

two English stock companies have
been organized to conduct mining ope.

of the heavy excise laws there is nc

The Alberti affair still continues to
be the chief topic Of conversation, both
in Copenhagen and all over the country
for that matter. The "Politiken" char
acterizes the whole affair as a national
calamity and a national shame, which
can never be obliterated. The "Danne-

and which. in consequence. has lost
hundreds of its regular subscribers. be-
means the whole affair, but says that
Albert is strong enough to shoulder it
all. Their comment is in sympathy with
ALBERT, but it can hardly be possible
that it can gain many friends for the
paper. A dispatch states that the other
day, a prominent lady declared at a
dinner. which she gave to a number of
her friends, that the Albert scandal
should not be discussed at the table.
But soon the conversation began to lag
and finally became painfully silent.
Then the lady admitted that she was
playing losing game, and told tie
guests that she would let loose Albert
upon them. All at once everybody had
something interesting to say about the
fallen idol.
