The present Grand Duke is the cousin of throe two lively young bucks of 69 and 66 ;veers apieoe—to wit, Prince ' Edward end Prinoe Hermann of Saxe -Weimar. The Grand, Duke is the son of a Ruesittn Princess and he is married to is Princess of Holland. Hie antiquity in years and descent make him a very interesting figere, and he is one of the leading non -Royal members of the German Empire. 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.

The old system of dressing the Severn Wei conciliated by ferry-bet:et), as in the case of the St. Clair. This, the oldest trunk line of England covers with its tracks and eteism- boats the important centres hereafter enumerated, viz : Milford, London, Liver. - pool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Plymouth, Weymouth, Southampton, Wat- erford, Cork, Channel 'Wends, etc.,. and ite connectione are timed to meet for all pints of Great Britain„.Ireland and the continent. 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- Atlantic passenger trade, or is portion thereof, from Liverpool .to Milford, perhaps they will revive the idea and allovr it uo rise phoenix -like from De males, and there. is 'tittle &art thee the pigeon -holed papers at Paddington'London, cite be drawn to meet 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- tion and could be completed in time to nieet is service in the sitting of 1893.

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.

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.

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. A LADY READER. Tomato, Oot. 27th. Chinese Babies.
