The PRINcEss OF Wales AND HER BRu>
TAI HusBAND.-The Princess Of Wales,
writes London correspondent, has an
other daughter, now about thirty six
hours old, and mother and child are both
doing well. For this poor lady, so badly
treated by her reckless and abandoned
husband, there is but one universal feel
ing of tenderness, compassion and respect.
For her consort, royal though he be, the
universal feeling is one of undistin-
guished contempt. 1t is very bad to see
a young man in his position throw him.

On a fresh summer morning


before breakfast hour, at the
country,house where he was


visiting a young man put out
in a small row,boat on to the


bosom Of New York Bay, just
then ripping and dimpling at
the rosy touch Of dawn.


Oliver Grey was qn artist by
profession; a fne-l6oking per

head, and swarthy skin. AT
this moment lis mood was one
Of fierce discomfort. Being an
artist he was poor-being poor
he could not have what lie
wanted, What he desired most
on earth was the heart and
hand Of Camilla Catherwood,
sister Of his friend George

house he was staying, having
been invited to spend a portion
of the summer at The Poplars,'
to take his ease and sketch the
beautiful scenery of the bay

iliated by it-not so much to
escape his garret as to bask in
the dangerous joy of Comilla's
presence. This morning he
came out to sketch, but he only
dreamed of her, until half-wild
at thoughts Of his own poverty.


Urged by his discontented
mood he fell to rowing vigor-
uosly for relief, soon finding
himself close in to the high
shores of a certain island, and
near a familiar spot to which
George and himself frequently
came.


In the face of the rocky
bluff there was an ocean.cave
A very small cave, which the
and other common
ANONYMOUSLY dubbed a
hole. 1t may have been larger
once; but at this time it was
filled, nearly to the mouth, with
deep sea sand. In high water
it was covered entirely by the
waves. But at low tide a small
boat could push its way in; and
as it afforded q cool shelter
from the summer sun, the two
friends often cast anchor there
for an hour or so, while they
ate their luncheon, OF sketched
the opposite hills.


The tide then, at its extrem.
est ebb, left the farther end of
the sand-cavern quite bare and
dry. 1t was the first time that
the visitor had ever found its so.
He was thinking of runing his
boat aground, and getting out,
there seemed to be
nothing more interesting than
clam-shells strewn about, when,
suddenly, something sparkled
in the level sunrays. His eyes
were Drawn 10 the Sllmmerlng
point. What was it? He
looked again more earnestly
1t was the end of q brass,bound
wooden chest, protruding from
the sand. The glittering of a
brass nail had drawn his at
tention to the object.


The color rushed into Oliver
Grey's moody face. He thought

every atom Of blood in his body
seemed rushing to and fro in
the widest confusion,


After a little hesitation he
reached down with his broad


bladed pallette-knife, and gin,
gerly and daintily, with thrills


Of reluctance running through
his eagerness, fshed up the
burning coal, and blew from it
the ashes, the ashes Of the dead.


The coal was q large ruby
It was without setting, but
had been cut and polished by
a jeweler. 1t was as red as
fire, and as lucid as sunshine.
Oliver rubbed it with his
handkerchief, opened his almost
empty purse, and dropped the
jewel within for safe keeping,
Then he examined the chest
farther. There were more gems
glimmering and quivering like
live things amid that human
dust.


1t was not long until the
young man forgot to be too
particular. The pallette-knife
was no longer swift and certain
enough. With his trembling
fingers he pushed about the
poor bones, finding plenty Of
treasure now; and there, right
under where the heart must
have been, small gold locket.
With something of awe and re-
verence overcoming the greed
which had taken possession of
him, he opened the case.


A woman's likeness, young
and sweet, smiled out upon
him, as brightly as if it had
not lain in that dark prison.
house for fifty years. Tears
came into divers sharp eyes
as he met the laughing glance
of the soft blue eyes shining
beneath the ripples of yellow
hair. But those tears soon
dried in the exultation of his
new posscssions.3


When certain that the chest
had yielded the last of its jew,
els he emptied them into his
handkerchief, and tried to
compute their value. The hor-
ror of his first impressions gave
way to triumph.


The treasure was his own by
right of discovery. There was
no clue to the name of their
long-perished owner. He
would keep the gems; and he
would say nothing, even to
George, Of his adventure.


Thinking thus he again look

time observed n name, formed

PROPOSED REDUCTION OF TAXES BY FIFTY
MILLIoNs-Tie,cs Of the Presideat.-"Zeta" o.
the Baltimore Sun, says in dispatch from this
city last evening: BY consultation, prominent
members of the Administration partially effect
ed, through leading Republicans of the Ways
and Means Committee, an important determi-
nation which was made by the latter at their
meeting to-day, by which il was agreed to re-
duce the taxation fifty millions of dollarsl The
committee concluded that thirty millions of this
sum should be taken from internal taxation,
and twenty millions relieved by the reduction of
duties on impOrtations. This conclusion was
arrived at. after careful deliberation, on two
grounds First-That the business interests OF
the country demanded that the burdens of taxa
ton should be lightened; and, second, from the
belief that the interest on the public debt could
not be reduced for at least a year on the plan
proposed by the funding bill now pending i'm the
Senate. This proposed reduction was carried in
the committee with but one objection, and h,
gave as his reason that he thought the sum was
too large, as in his opinion the actual necessitie
OF the Government demanded a revenue which
would be cut too short by this reduction. On
yesterday the chairman of the Ways and Means
COMMITTEE, accompanied by another member
OF the committee, had an interview with
the President, and the policy of a re-
duced taxation was urged on his attention
He said that while the public debt was so larg,.
ne mad advised against a reduction OF taxation
for the present year, but he was now satsfiet.
that the country demanded and that the Gov
ernment could stand a reduction Of interna
taNation equal 10 at least thirty millions of dol
lars, and lie hoped that Congress wcnld take a
step in that direction. He thought that if this
were done now it would hasten the day of specis
payments, and place the Government on such
fo0lng that next year it could easily fund til.
pubic debt into consolidated bond bearing p
lower rate of interest than was now exacted
the Treasury. 1t was not until the Republican
members of the Ways and Means Committe
that they agreed to recommend to the House th
