When he be- came too sure of the Bad truth there was a disagreeable soene, and the result was an action by I'hilip af^ainet Marie Louise for abauiate divorce, witli Johannes as oo- respondent. himr years ago Lawyer Fuehrer obtained a decree of divorce in the Bapreme Court in favor of Philip, against his wife. Thereupon Grunwald did nut desert the erring Marie Louise. The pair immtHfiately jonrneved to iloboken, where they were niarriert. They returned to this •ity and took up their abode in (irunwald's dwelling. There they appeared to li 3 faappily enough for a tune, but at laat Marie Louise's coiiscienie began to up- braid her for her faithleHSneiie toward Philip.

Both gentlemen are dreadful lady-killers, and it seems that both have lately Uen paying court to the same beauty. Sunday evmiiig, as the Duke aud M. Uainibault were Bitting at the green table at their club, with a knot of friends, M. Kainibault began to lell spicy stories of hid rival's coi'i'ie^ta. At tirai he drew the line at banter, but presently the banter became jierilouKly pointed. The Duke grew fidgety, but M. Jtaiuibault did not notice it. The ajipreciation of his friends seemed to Htimiilate his far.cy. At larit he went be- yond bounds altogettier. Nothiuji 'hap- pened, however, till he: chiiflingly accused the Duke of having used his name to ingratiate himself cheaply in the good graces of a lady. " The other night," said M. Haimbault, " 1 called on a lady who shall b<] nameless. Hhe refused to see me. I sent my card in a second time, with the same result. A third iiiesBage proved equally truitless, but this time the lady gave me a cine to bor cold- ness." Uere he paused, and. pointing mock- ingly at the Duke across the table, said : " Look here, Doke, whe% yon go there again, don't use my name and get the door shut agaiost me." There was a lauiih, fol- lowed instantly by a dead silence as the Uuke, turning pale and red with wrath, suddenly rose, leaned across the table and slapped the joker in the face. After this, of coarse, a meeting was anavoidablo. Th>) duel came off very ijuietly at the favorite duelling ground ou the racecourse at Le Vosinet. Weapons chosen, swords : the hour, 1 p.m. General de BautTreinunt and the Mar>|uiH de Lagrande were the Duke's seconds. M. G. KspcK'ta and Alfonsa de Alilama acted for M. Uaimbaalt. At the thinl engagement M. Haimbault pricked bis adverH«ry in the groin and the combat oeaBed. Thu wound is about an inch in depth, but not dangeroux. After the dnel the Duke was taken hoiiii' to his wife, where he is now sleeping '|uietly. It is ru- mored in the clubs that he will withdraw from the Cercle de la Rue Hovale. THK I.iyCIOK UtIBBTIUN. Iniportaut l>eliveraii('e by the Toronto Pr«*»hy tery. A Toronto despatcli says : Aij important discubbion engaged the attention of the Toronto Presbytery yesterday on the ques- tion of the real relation of the Church to the Klate iu the matter of legislative enact- ments, aud the relation of Church Courts to the individual liberty of members as to the use of intoxicating beverages. I'he questions arose from ihe report of the I'resbytery's Committee on Temperance, dealing with questions sent down by a uomoiittee ul the General Auseuibly. 1 ncse questions were considered by many members of ttio Presbytery as interfering with the iiulividtial liberty uf memberH, as they made ii.i|Uiries as to voting for tbe Scott Act, lenijwjrance measures, for municipal ott'icials and other public olhuerB. At last meeting of tbe Presbytery Hev. Dr. Kellogg submitted resoluiioris emOodyiug a principle which would iiinit the action of Church Courli) ill the matter of specitiu legislative meaxu'es. The»c resolutions came op for dis- cusbiun yesteroay in an extended form, and after a luug debate, in which part was taken by all thu prouiiuent members, three reso- lutiuns Were cai.ied, the last and most important of which reads as follows : "That wuile this Presbytery therefore holds it to be the duty of the Church to exhort her members conscieutiously to bear their part as citiiiena in seeking to free the community from the curse of drunkenness, they yet regard it as beyond the authority given by Christ to HIb Church for any Church Court to pass any otiicial judgment as to the specific method in which the civil power may best deal with the evils of the liquor trathc, seeing that in no such deliverance could she justly claim to be speaking from the Word of God aud with tbe authority of Him whom alone she is appointed to re- present, provided always that nothing in this resolution shall be construed to deny the right of petition when required by the civil magistrate as specified in tbe Confes- sion of Kaith, chap. xxxi. 5."

A Gloucester, Mass., despatch says : A letter has been received from the cook of the schooner 11. B.

COBtnines Worn at a Britiah Royal Draw- luK-rount ill CoiuiikentoratluD ttf KaiBer tVilllam. â-  .\ drawing room at which every one mast wear court mourning is not a very bright function, says a London letter tothe Fhila delphia TeUtjrajih. On Briday the court went into half-mourning, which admits of extremely curious combinations uf black with Oliver colors, the wording of the rale being : " White dresses or black dresses, with colored H iwers or ribbons." The effect is often more strange than pretty. For instance, one lady wore a black dress aud train, the latter being lined with sea-green satin, and thnre were also several other very unbecoming gowns of black and yellow, black and blue. and black and red. Grey was much worn, and there was a great number of beam if ul dresses and trains of brocade, interwoven with silver. A particularly iitriking one was of black and silver brocade, the corsage being trimmed with silver lace, while the train, which was of black striped satin lined with some silvery material, was ornamented with silver cords and tassels. Many ladies most have been glad when they found so few royalties were present, for it is very trying to have to make ten or tv^-elve very low court courtesies, without a moment's rest. The Princess of Wales wore a dress of black gros de Sicile, handsomely trimmed with jet. Her train was of black aud gold brucaide, bordered with gold and jetted galoons. Among other ornaments Her Koyal High- ness wore the magnilicent tiara presented to her on her silver wedding day by a num- ber of ladies, and the large diamond butter- tly given by the Grand Lodge of Kree- masoDB. Princess Christian's dress was of black lace, with a bodice and train of striped velvet. The Crown Princess of Denmark looked very well ia her gown of black broche velvet and gauze over black velvet. Her train was of black velvet (rim- med wi(h feathers and jet. Her Royal Uighcess' diamonds were remarkably fine. Princess Victoria, who is tall and nioa looking (though none of (he Princesses will ever be as handsome as their mother), wore a whi(e satin bodice and train over a jape of white tulle. This dress formed a pleasant relief to the black ones worn by the other Princesses. Lady Bective presented her daughter. Lady Olivia Tayloar. She looked sweetly pretty in a dress of white silk and moire, made in the fashion of the empire. The skirt was quite plain with a bordering of ostrich feather tips. A moire sash was tied loosely around (he waist and knotted at one side while the train was of white corded silk. Lady Olivia carried a posy of lilies of the valley, tied with moire ribbon. The two brides who attracted the most at- tention were, of course. Lady Cairns and Lady Crossley. The former was all in white and the latter wore white and silver brocade, ornamented with white ostrich feathers and silver cords and tassels. Lady Dudley's gown was of white ga(in (rimmed with Hahle, aud her pearls were the envy uf all beholders. Lady Delaware wore white aa(in and gray brocade. Tbe Duchess of Hoxbnrghe and (he Duchess of Buccleugh were bo?h in black; the (rain of Her Grace of Buccleugh being an exception to the general rule, for i( was a'usolu(ely wi(hon( trimming of any kind. Oueof tbe prettiest gowns at (he drawing-room was of gray- Btri[>(d satin, the skirt being of silver gray crepe, caught up with bunches of thistles and powdert>d with silver thistledowc. The train was trimmed with gray crepe dechine and silver ganxe, in which lay bunches of (he thiatles, and (he effect was really qaite bewitching. A UKKAIt TKAMKUY.

As tbe Governor- General and his companions took their seats and the audience subsided, my a((en- tion was directed to the odd costume worn by the handsome men, aides of the Gov- ernor-Cieneral, who flanked the Vioe-Regal party.
