He and his wife were deeply attached to each other, and they wore both credited with more liberal sentiments than have been nsually entertained by member#s of the German royai family. Had Frederick been able to carry his ideas into practice, the happiness of the German people would probably hbave benn augmented.

It is a coinciâ€" dence that the mothop of Frederick tho Great of Prussia was also an English Princess, Sophia Dorothea, daughter of King George I. Her husband was also named Frederick William, and of him his son wrote: "He had an industrious spirit in a robust body, with perhaps more capacity for minuto details than any man that ever lived; and if he occupied himself with little things, it was that great results might be the consequence." /7 EMPRESS FKEKEDERICK. PRINCESS CHARLOTTE 1 woum Of TMEMT In the hamlet of Cronberg the Lmâ€" press was as well known to the puor as was Queen Victoria at Balmoral.

The memoirs of the English court scitt tntnractine details of the early The memoirs of the Ln@lis!! CUNI * give interesting details of the early years of the Princess Victoria. Elabâ€" orate precautions were taken by the Queen and Prince Albert, from whom she inherited her mentai gifts, lest the reason of the visit of Prince Frederick William of Pruossia to Balâ€" moral, in the autumn of 1855, should ae suspected by the Princess Royal. She was thon in her sixtcenth year, and her parenis were anxious tshe should Ffemain fancy free until after confirmation. These precautions were usele:s, for the Prince begged hard to be allowed to woo and win his bride before he left the country. The Queen tells the simple story â€"how " Fritz" offered " Vicky" a spray of white beather and asked for her hand in return.

He says that Kruger sent by him this message: ‘"‘Tell the American people they are helping to murder us." Mr. Kruger thinks that the United States ought to declare war against Great Britain, which would Jead to a general war of nations, to assist the Boers in theoir war for indepenâ€" dence. Hundreds of thousands _ of ‘"murders" would occur in such a war, with its battleficlds as wide as the civilized world. Theo exâ€"President has escaped from all the horrors of the war in South Africa. He arandoned his country when the British came too near his places of refuge. He left his sick wife in the hands of British guards and she has since died.
