WThe foregoing â€" paragrap‘t in toâ€" day‘s official journal, which was inâ€" serted by order of the King and Crown Privce, has turned into truth what for several days past has been regarded as an incredivlie tale. The Crown Princess, surrounded by her ladiesâ€"Inâ€"waiting and numerous atâ€" tendants and servants of the Royal household!, has vanished so utterly that the police of every kingdom of Europe hbave for ten days been unâ€" able to trace her. The official anâ€" nouncement was made in order to obtain the aid of the general public in linding the Princess, and because the court liction that she preferred to remain in retirement at Salzburg rather than to return to her husâ€" band and children at Dresden, canâ€" wot longer be maintained.

Paris despatch: Sarah Bernhardt, playing at her own theatre toâ€"night, added a fresh branch to her many laurele by the creation of the title role in "‘Theroigne de Mericourt," a new play, by BPaul Hervieu, which deals with the meteoric career of a now forgotten woman who, beginning as a courtesan, became a prominent personage during the reign of terror and ended in a lunatic‘s cell. _ Mme. Bernhardt‘s impersonation of the heroine was warmly applauded by a typical audience of Parisian firstâ€" nighters. A ship, a ship, don‘t you see the ship?" was shouted from bow to stern, and all, eager to get a glimpse of this welcome visitor of the deep, rushed to the lee side, where in the far distance could be seen only just wich the naked eye a speck against the horizon, which, by degrees, grew larger and largâ€" er, until funnels and masts _ were plainly visible without the alsd of field glasses. Ohb, what joy, to at last be able to rest the eye upon something or some object from the outer workl.

A A LONG VONVAGE, BERNHARDT‘S LAURELS. end ‘The spiritual part of these few hundred souls received no lack of attention either. It reminded one more of revival meetings than otherâ€" wise. Three Methodist and two Presbytcrian ministers were on board. They contrived to have a prayerâ€"meeting every morning at 7.15 to 8 o‘clock, Sundays and week days, the usual Sunday service at 11 a,m., Sunday School for the children at 3 p.m., conducted by a prominent sister of the Methodist Church in Melbourne, who also gave _ a fow very interesting lectures on her work among the poor in the slums of that great city, sometimes service for the sailors was held on the forward deck, from 6 to 7 p. m. which was entered into heartily by some of the ‘crew, especially when well known bhymns were sung, folâ€" lowed by the evening service from 7 to 8 p.m. â€" Wednesday evenicg prayer meeting was never omitted either. _ These meetings were very fairly attended as a rule. Of course it is needless to say that the Sunday morning services _ were always conducted after the Church of England form, which is the rule on board ali His Majesty‘s ships, wherever floats the British fHag on the high seas, the captain himâ€" gelf or the chilef steward taking this service, if there happened no minister aboard to do :o.

The poor souls, it is a shame to say misforâ€" tune too, for they were the very essence of good nature and tried so hard to make the very least of themâ€" selves, knowing so well that their room was much more acceptable than their company, and then again the appearance of the table stewards made you feel that the food as to its condition was very questionable, especially the soup! Many comâ€" plained of it being too hot to eat, which was true enough. But what about those who had the preparing and serving for so many in this great heat?

The iarm, which was reuted by Ramuel and James Watson, is in rather a lonely part of the township, some distance oif the main road. The Watâ€" son brothers, who are bachelors, had their mother as â€" bousekeeper for them, while the other brother, Wes ley Watson, was supposed to be in Detroit, where be . was . employad. Some days ago the mother left to pay a visit io some friends in anâ€" other part of the township, leaving the bachelor brothers to keop house. Returned Unannounced. After dark last night the younger brother returned nuannounced â€" and unexpectediy from Detroit, and went to the farm bouse after the elder brothers had retired for the night. Bome time after retiring they heard somebody about the premises, «and subsequently an enurance was made to the rooms downstairs. | The two brothers, who are of rather a timid nature, immediately supposed they were the victins of a burglary, and, gathering a few articles of clothing, they made their escape out of a bedâ€" room window and fled to the house of a neighboring farmer, NMr. Dougherty, where they â€" reporited â€" that â€" their house had been entered by burglars, and berged to be allowed to remain for the night. _ Accommodation wuas provided for them, and they remained untii _ afterâ€" dlaylight this morniog. Bhortly before 9 o‘clock they repaired to their own home, armed with a shotgun, and upon entering the preâ€" mises downstairs saw that someone had enterod the house and had bepp making himsecl{! at bome.

As they reached the door, the sleeper raised â€" himselHl â€" slightly upon his clbow, and one of the thorâ€" oghly frightened men, imagining in the duek of the darkened â€" bedroom that this was the burglar f the night before, immediately took aim and fired. The charge, which wae of emall ghot, took efleet in the man‘e head, almost blowing the side of hie face off and killing him instantly.
