FOND OF TIER MOT81EI1A
The Princess Margaret of Prussia, the
daughter of the Prinoess Royal of Great
Brinier/ and the sister of the German Em-
peror, who is to marry Prince Charles of
Hesse next Jenuary, has refused several
brilliant offers of mervage, tionong them
tea of the Tzerevitch, the Crown Prince of
Italy, and Prince Christialeof Denmark, for
no other reason than that she dreads being
seperated from her mother, and in accepting
the heed of Prince Charles she knows ehe
will be near home. She had indeed never
left the Eraprens Frederick% side. She was
the favorite daughter of her father. Like
her mother Oro is an acnomplished artiste
aud she posseseet suffieient literary ability
to hn.ve niken in hand the arranging of the
very voluminous petters forming the diary
of him who will so justly be handed down
to posterity p,s Frederick ahe Noble.
The wedding day of the Princes Mar-
garet of Pruanie, has now been definitely
fixed for January 20th, is day chosen 'with
specie], view to its being the 34th ennivere
eery of that on which the Empress
Frederick married the Crown Prince of
Prussia, in later years the Erriperor
Frederick.
SHE LOVED THE COTLLLON.
The Archduke Ferdinand d'Eete, who is
the heir to the Auatriteu Ernpire, is the son
of the Emperor's brother, the Archduke
Charles, and the step -sou ole. lady who at
oue time Waii the most remarkable person in
Vienna. She was a Princess of Braganza,
and the third wife of the Archduke. She
was only 18 when she was married in 1878,
andas she was not only exceedingly beauti-
ful, but was atm exceedingly lively in dee
position, her youth, beauty and gay dispo-
sition at once took the stiff society of Vienna
by storm. She was eepecially fond of
denctirig, and she led the cotillon with a
verve and excitement which are rarely seen.
Her favorite figure was one in which the
lady drives is number of gentlemen who are
linked together by is harness of ribbons and
bells.
HUNTING THE MISSING A-ROHDURE.
The Archduke himself is about to set
forth on is journey *wound the world, aced
the rumor is that the reat object of hie tour
is to discover the whereashouts or ascii/tom
the fate of his missing kinsman, Archduke
John. The direction of the Archduke s
journey, veld, indeed, all his plane therefor,
indiettte that he is abeub to ileoxeh for the
wanderer, aud another notable fact is that,
from the Emperor down, the Hipsburg
family has never oilseed to manifest the
strongest possible intermst in the anxiety
regarding the fate of the voluntary exile.
Every dein:mach concealing him has been
read and re -read, aud not infrequently
travellerfrom South Ameriee have been
invited to the palace and plied with eager
questions.
TOLIN FALLS FOITL OF THE EMPEROR.
That tho Emperor bee forgiven Archduke
John is noe, however, likely. The latter's
offence was far too deep for that. Wheu he
entered the army he eet out to reform
abuse, and published s. pamphlet in whieh
he scathingly critioized the naisrnanegemertt
from whiuh the Auetriem army suffered so
long.
For this he was banished to Cracow on
garrison duty, but wits soon recalled and
iteut to Bosnia in command of an army
corps, when,de he carne herne crowned with
honors. Then he geve a lecture at the
Ceeitio, in Vienum on "Education or
Drill ?" in which he again criticized bhe
military syatein of the Empire.
Tho most notoble reply to the lecture was
made by no less a persenege than the Crowe
Prince Rudolf himself, in the form of am
article in one of the military organs. The
Archduke replied in like manner, and the
controversy grew acrimonious.
At the end the advantage clearly rested
with the Archduke, ead this the Crown
Prince never forgave. It was this, indeed,
that finally lost the Archduke the personal
favor of the Emperor.
WHERE 28 1812 now?
In September, 1887 a fatal blow bit; the
Archduke was deprived of all hi officee.

Now the readers be impatient to
know whet the Greet Western Railway has
to do ,with the "Fast Atlantic Service."
In the firet place it has been an enterprising
and Mat successful compaug, bud th,ere is
no reason to believe that they will discon-
tinue to be so. Having alreedy been inter -
meted in .e. echeme to divert the trans-

thereof, from Liverpool .to Milford, perhaps
they will revive the idea and allovr it uo

any feasible project. The route from
America to Milford has been tested with
satisfactory results. Vessels of the deepest
draft can enter the harbor of Milford at any
state of the tide. Not so at Liverpool, as
the bar of the Remy can only be crossed at
hign water, and even when crossed at some
stetes of the tide lerge steamers of
the , type . of the Majestia and
City of Paris 'cannot enter the docks and
in consequence have to discharge mut ship
their eargnes in mid -stream by the aid' of
barges. ' To cap this, the rates on obliging
at Liverpool are exist:solve compared. with
other English ports, and the Dock Board,
which , also controls the river and its
approaches, are coneervative in respect to
remedial reform. itt contrast, a vessel
arriving at Milford cam rim alongside . the
wharf, where the train is ready to receive
the passengers and tneils immediately after
disembarking, and eix hours lister will find
them safely landed in the Great Metropolis.
At present there et no adequite means of
cepingemth large quentitiee of freight, but
extensive docka are in mune of construc-

To the Editor of the Glebe
but —1m eine you will agree with hie
when 1 Say that minethieg ought to be done
to stop the barefaced swindling (no milder
atone will do) which is going on M certain
directions in our midsnand I have noreason
to doubt that my experience ha this oityis the
experienoe of ()there in many pante of
Ceneda. I have read so melt of the great
emcees of Dr. Willia418) Peek Pille.for Pale
People thee I determined to give them a
trial for nervous trembles. I etecordingly
went to a drug etre.° to procure a supply.
Oa asking the druggist for the pills he took
down a glass jar and proceeded to take out
the quentity. " But," raid I, Dr. Wil -
hams Pink Pith, o.rieriob mid in bulk, and
that cannot be them." " Oh, yes Ib
said the dealer ; "we always get them in
bulk and sell them that way." I had read
the (elution of the proprietors to the effect
that these pills were never sold in bulk,
and thinkiug they eltould now bet, I de
-
alined taking theta and left the etore. My
next experience was no more fortunate.
Again pills pink in color to imitate the gen-
uine were offered me. When I remonstrated
this dealer admitted the pills were not sup-
plied him by the Er. Williams' Co., but de-
clered that they were .iust the same. And
yet, for the sake of a little more profit he
would have iteposed them en me for the
genuine Pink Pills had I been less caution.
As I lefb the store, I thought the
repeated warning against imitations
gtven by the WilliamsCo. muat be the
result of bitter experience on their part.
Bat I did not expect I would meet with
three dishoneet dealers (do you think the
term is too strong 1) in succession. My next
experience proved the third dealer little
better than the other two. • When I aeked
or D r. Williams' Pink Pills he said be had
them, and then produced a package whioh I
saw o.t a glance bore another name, and
'which he insisted were Net as good. I de-
clined taking them, and turned to leave the
store, when the druggist offered to give 'me
the genuine pills, But I did not feel that I
ought to patronize a man who would have
imposed something elee on me had I been
less guarded, and declined buying. I almost
despaired getting the genuine Pink Pills
unless I sent to headquarters; but on my
visit to the fourth drug store I was more
mucceesful, and was at once handed the
genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pins. No
doubt, Mr. Editor, my experience is that
of many inhere, and no doubt hundreds
less cautious are constantly being deceived.
I think the newspapere ought to do
something towards protecting their
readers from frauds of this kind. We

detectiv,e work, etc., visiting churches in
the garb of the lowly, and then writing up
their reception. Here is a new field for
them. Let some clever reporter travel the
length and breadth of this city in humble
guise, and see howmany dealers are honest)
enough to' give him what he asks for with-
out trying to impose a substitute upon him.
I trust, Mr. Editor, you will give tide a
place in your columns, as it may serve to
prevent some one else from being cheated.

Chinese Babies.
When it Chinese baby is it month old,it is
given a name. Its head. is also shaved for
the first time, it ceremony which is called
" munefut" and is made the °emotion of
great rejoicing in rich families. All mem-
bers of tixe family are preterit in their holi-
day attire, and the baby to be shaved is
clad in a light red garment. The hair that
is removed is wrapped in paper and care -
fatly preserved. Atter the leather has per-
formed his task an aged man—who is hired
for this purpose and receives a small com-
pensation—lays his hands on the head of
the little one and exclaims : " Long may
you live 1" Those present thereupon sit
down to a great feast, of which
even the little hero of the day
receivers his share in the shape of a
tiny piece of the rice -flour cake, which
was donated by his grandmother. All who
have tnade presents (of clothing, bracelets,
etc.,) to the ohild Mace ite birth are invited
to this repast. On this day the infant is also
presented with a red bed, is low chair of the
same color and a cap upon which either
golden, Over or copper ornaments, repre-
senting Buddha or eight cherubs, or written
characters (that sigmfy old age and riches)
are plaited. Before the child is put into the
new bed, however, tbe father consults is cal-
endar and selects is lucky day. The almanac
also informs him which things should be re-
moved from the presence of the child. In
one instance it must not touch or see objects
made of bamboo during a certain time; in
another instance &Aides of eopper and non
ere proscribed. Objects which are denoted
as harmful by the calendar are either con-
cealed or taken away.

The Trish Vote.

'hold myself as much a man as any in, the

I know leave a heart to feel, a brain to under

And so I ask you gentlemen, as Irishmen oft
note.
What means the phrase the papers raise,
What is the Irish vote!
The name implies some mass compact, by outer:
force controlled,
That can be shifted right and left, perhaps be -
bought and sold.
Is that what freedom. means to us—a lesson,
learned by rote?
Our only thought, "so dearlybought,"
Is that the -Irish vote?
Or, are we all so very wise none can deceive our
sighte
Or, an so very foolish grown we never vote
aright?
Are we but cargo stowed aboard some politeoia-

aveyed, all charges paid
Is that the Irish vote!
Our grandsires in green Erin's Isle wore reck-
oned p oper men,
And yet, I've heard in 'ninety-eight they die-
fered now and, then.
They called a man a slave who bowed 'neatit
any foot hls throat;
WW1,' will we say of him to -day,
What call the Irish vote?
When war clouds from the Southern sky came
rolling far and wide,
Were all the Irish exiles then massed on a
single side?
Some brave 'marts beat beneath the blue, some
wore the South's gray coat,
Frei! heart? Free hand! Free speechtt
Free land5—
'Tis thus the Itish vote.
When some great man his party leads to
triumph, who will dare '
To say, "8.lid Yenkee, German, Gaul, them
were no Irish there;
The other side has bought them in?" Not as
the wise man wrcee;
Each for himself, and God for all!
So let the Irish vote.
