â-  f PRINOB AI.BKRT VICTOR. An American Bride Socgeiited fur Himâ€" An Alllaure Which Would be Vopulitr In IfiigUiud. A Loadon cablegram bsvs : Tbe Qiieea's visit to the Prince and i'riaceas o£ WaleB at BaadrinKham ended yesterday mornin:;, and the Queen returned to Windsor Castle yesterday afternoon. Much has been printed aboat this visit ; little is really known except what happened in pablic. There is a theory that a family coancil has been held and that various family >)aeatioua have been disenabled. Supposin^t that to be true, no decibiou that oould have been taken wonld be valid without the approval of Her Majesty's Miniatera. Two subjeota are said to ocuapy the Queen's mindâ€" a financial settlement for tbe eldest aoa of the Prince of Wales, Hrince Albert Victor, commonly called Prince Eddie, and bis marriage. This Prince ia now '2'> yeara old and baa no separate establishment, no in- come of his own, no wifu.and no immediate prospect of marry iog. No Minister has yet ventured to aak Parliiiment for an allow- ance. There would be opposition, and rather than face the diacaaaion which is Bare to bo raised, the Prince of Wales him- self ia opposed to an application till his !i9n marries. As he muat marry a Protestant, his choice among the European daughters ot royalty ia strictly limited. None otihem â- eems a favorite. In these circumstances Sir Edward Sul- livan has conceived the notion that the Prince should marry an American. Why should he not? asks Sir Edward', and ho prooeedH to argue the ()aestioa at length. Such an alliauce, he thinks, would bring about a closer intimacy between the two nations. Americans, in his opinion, would like to see one of Columbia's daughters sharing the throne oi England â€" ha had better nave said tba prospect of the throne â€" and thirty four millioDs in Znglaud would welcome with delight a Queen of their own blood, breed and speech. Sir Edward, like most Kutihsbmen, admires the American girl, and the American peo- ple generally. He believea the two great English apeaking peoples destined to rule the world, itnd advo^atea auob a marriage Oa international and poli:ioalgrounds. This BUKi^estiun has been heard betore, but per baps nubudy baa aeriously urged it except Sir Edward Sullivan. So atrong ia the feeling in England aiiainat more Anglo- German marria^tH th»t an Auglo-Ameri- can allian>:e might well enough be popular (or that, as for many other reasons. LatfHt from Ireland.

Kiel himself would have had nothing to do with him, and far less tbe Metis population. On his arrival at Batocbe he would have met with a well-organized guard, and been lodged in a secure lockup, there to repent his past actions in durance vile, for the biatury of Joseph Uoyal has never been msd'j public, and well knowing himeelf that there was nothing good for him lu Batocbe. he turned back from Qu'Appelie with a lengthy report, turned out to please his leaders and thereby gaining some notoriety. The feeling ot the Metis at thia time waa to meet Roger Goulet. The ap- pearance ot this man at Batocbe would have stopped the Northwest troubles, and if the Government had acted wisely, and sent out one Uuulet to every one hundred Middleton'a, history to-day wonld not con- tain on ita pagtH what it doea unfortunately contain.

George Wright, who arrivod in San Franciajo on tbe steamer Auatralia a day or two ago from the Caroline i elands, tells the story ot tiie sadden risa of a sailor to distinctio" in ,^nl> r f the largest ialanda of an archipuiugo, seventy five miles west of Haweis, whore Mr. Wright has a trading store. " The sailor," said Mr. Wright, " ia Carl Benjamin, and he has no lese than twenty odd wivi s and fifty copper colored chil- dren. Ho was wrecked in the schooner Bombazine off the Ladrona Islands nine )eara ago, and floated at sea on a raft; a couple of weets before he Htruck land. " If yon will look at a map you will find lying midway between the Tropic of Cancer and the equator thirteen dels Ou some maps they appear marked ' Thirteen inlands, well inhabited.' Well, it is on the biggest one of these, called Benjamin Island, in honor ot himself, that he ban taken up his homo. It saema odd that an island aa big as this has not been got down finer by the geographerH, but it remains practically a terra incognita, although it is ten by twenty odd miles in extent. " ' Well inhabited ' means that there is quite a aprmkling of dark-skinned native residenta there, as well as many men who move to and fro in their light native boata. They eat bread fruit, bananaa, cocoannts and fish, and that's the end of it. They don't work at all. " Benjamin hau got to bo a king in hia far away home. There the white-capped Waves beat against tbe coral nliuree, and Benjamin haa got nothing at all to do but to go swimming in the surf, talk tlie native gibberish, which ho has learned, or loll under a palm tree. Borne times be haw hia wives fan him while he smokes the kaziba leaf, which grows so plentifully there, and which, after you get to using it, you like better than tobacco. Maybe you think be haan't a aoft thing uf it. " However, Benjamin ie doing some good work there, despite tho hot climate. He carried throe or four bcoka with him ou his raft â€" the last thing yon would ex- pectâ€"and ho haa continui.u to instruct tho uativLB in the English language. Benjamin is au American of German or Jewish de scent, and is a lover ot books. The first thing he did waa to aeleol au intelligent native and reach him the alphabet. He learned rapidly, and suon began to teaoh it to others, and a number of ihem can now speak English, wnile the rising generation immediately around are gradually picking up a primitive knowledge of the language. Benjamin la looked upon as a sage. All the cbi.fs corao to him for pointp, and of their own accord they havo made him their reigning potentate. The chiefs, of whom there are three, are his Cabinet. " Benjamin haa picked out the hand- aoinest women for wivei".

A Good Way to Cheek Them With Uttle DauK«r. When yon see a runaway coming do not try to check him by a rash from the opposite direction or thu side, for you will be immediately knocked fiat by the col- lision, but instead prepare yourself for a short ran with the horse. Measure with your eye the distance and start for tho run while he is yet Hume way off, perhaps ten feet iu the case uf fair tu medium runaways. You may depend upon bis keeping a straight line, fur a really frigbtoHed horse is half blind and would not veer for a steam engine. He will go straight ahead until he smashea into something. Bo do you gel oluse to tbe line on which be ia rushing, and, as he passes you, grasp tbe reins near tho saddle. Gather the reius firmly, and then, leaning backward as you run, give them a powerful yank. You may be able to brace yourself somewhat aa you give this yink, halt sliding on your feet. The strong jerk ou the bits tells the horse that he again has a master, and prepares him for the final Mtragglo. A atep ur two forward after the first yank, do it again. Thia ia the finishing stroke. It never fails when given by a determined man. The horse is on ita haunchea. Keep a firm pull on tho rein till you grasp thu horse by tbe nostrils, and hold bim so until be la pacified. â€" Soutliern Cultivator. <2ueur Italian BlMtrliuuny.

Three Milwaukee Girin Have a Wild Dace on HorM^Uack. Mien Katie Peck, the luvdy and daabmg daughter of Editor I'eek, i f tbe Milwaukee .S'un,and Misses Margaret and Jessie Sander- son, daughters ot Ed. Kandereon, tbe large mill owner, seonred saddle horeea at • riding school and started out for a ride. They took a briak canter to tbe Boldiere' Home and there met Mr. Sanderson iu hia buggy by appointment. The girls started to return and, touching up their horaes a little, galloped away at a lively gait. The three horaea were running tutibther, head and head, and the young ladies did act notice that their steeus were gradually increasing their pace. Suddenly it dawned apon them. They pulled on their reins in vain, the only result being ibat tbe horses took longer, surer and faster strides. The blood of their Kentucky racing eires waa up in eaoh of tbe three " saddle horaea." Down Long Arde avenue, wbiuh is Milwaukee's boulevard, they tore directly toward the heart ot the city. Fiist one was ahead and then the other. It was a grand race. With hair dying in tbe wind, for their bate had been blown away, tbe three girls, who were as thoroughbred aa their steeda and as game, hung on to tbe reins and swunK backward and forward with each atrido. People on the streets aaw them for an luatant, and before they could hardly cry out they wonld dash by. They were riding; at a racing gait. Suddenly, aboat two miles from Grand avenue bridge, Mar- garet Sanderson's boree began to fall baok. .Va thu other pair drew away he slackened his speed and tho young lady jumped off. She waa uninjured. For uearly a mile further it was a neck-and neck race be- tween tho other pair. In front of the Bohandein residence Mibb Jessie Sandeif son's horse nwerved into the other, aud the next instant she was burled frooi the sad- dle. When pioked up she was found to be only slightly bruiBed. The horse that Miss Peck rode waa bred to run the old atyle, four milea and repeat. He kept right on. l>.7wn into the busy 1 art of Grand avenue he dashed, and, as luck would havo it. he was on the right side of the street and happened tu get a o'.ear track. Men saw hini ooming, and baif a dozen would-be rescuers made dar- ing dashes, but failed to stop him. Just three blocks from the Grand avenue bridge, where a terrible accident would have been unavoidable, a mau jumped out into the atreet aud held bia ground. The hurae swerved sharply, the saddle girths burat and tbe placky, but exnansted girl was nnhoraed, saddle ar.d all, to the pavement. Nearly a hundred men rushed to her assistance, and ahe was carried into a etura and a physician summuned. Under hiB treatment she speedily regaiiie<i consuioue- ness and waa found to have aastained nothing more than a bad scalp wound. She waa then taken to her home in a carnage. Mr. Sanderson toll wed the runaways ui hia buggy, with bia horse at a gallop, aud picked up hia two daughtera on the way. Omul Man. Wife â€" Are you going to buy me a new apriug bonnet, John, dear ?
