| Death of the English Aristocracy.

nian } No class of mrn seem more favorably si- | tuated for longevity than the British aris- | tocracy, but time is constantly extinguish- | ing their families. Of the Barons who met | in the first Parliament over six hundred | years ago, the descendants of two only now | sitin the House of Peers. More than a/| hundred of the original great families of | England have thus became extinct. There | are now but four surviving peerages which | were creations of the fourteenth century, but seven surviving peerages of the fif- teenth, twelve of the sixteenth, thirty-five of the seventeenth, and of the eighteenth century ninety-five. All the remainder are creations of the present century

The Prince of Wales.

The Prince of Wales is a man both of tact and of taste. Paris society was much exercised in its mind as to the etiquette which would decide the choice of his part- ner in the cotillion at Lady Lyons’s ball— whether the lady of the highest rank (of course it could be no other) would be selected from Hnglish or French claimants to that dignity. His Royal Highness, how- ever, settled the question by leading out an American young lady, Miss Natica Rznaga, the sister of Lady Mandeville. Such are the advantages of a good education early in life. The Prince of Wales learned to dance with American young ladies when he was a mere lad of nineteen at the great New York bail in the Academy of Music, and he has never lost a chance of keeping himself in practice since. — U.S. puper.

Our Washington Letter.

Wasnineron, D. C., June 18, 1873.

The Senate has agreed to the ‘‘handeutf” section of the Army Appropriation Bill, so if mobs and strikes and riots do rise, and rage, it can't be helped—troops may not speak till they are spoken to, or, in other words, they may not be sent till they are sent for, A leading New York says, in regard to the matter, ‘* The Con- gress of the United States has finally given in its adhesion to the view of the Constitu- tion enunciated nearly 20 years ago, by President Buchanan.’ Citizens of the Umi- ted States have no right to resist the en- forcement of the laws ; but, then, if they do what they have no right to do, the Govern- ment of the United States has no power to coerce them, What Buchanan declared in .1860, Congress endorses and acts upon in 1878,”

Washington's mortuary list of last week contains an unusual number of notable names. The Peruvian Minister's death was a great surprise to every one, as it was scarcely known he was sick. He had been confined to his bed but a week. Col. Fregre’s family is a large one, and its mem- bers are very much attached to each other. it is fered her father’s death will result fa- tally to the eldest daughter, who is quite ill. His funeral services took place in St. Matthew’s Catholic Church. The catafalyue was draped with the Peruvian flag, covered with flowers and surrounded with burning tapers. The Ministers from the Argentine Confederation, Paraguay and Brazil acted as pall-bearers. Another death in which the country is interested is that of Chief Clerk of the United States Senate, Major McDonald. He has held that oftice for forty-one years, having succeeded his father in it. The bereavement in his family is a double one, as his’ wife was so shocked when told that her husband was on his death bed and could not rally that she died within an hour, and was three days dead before her husband. Gen. Pelanze’s funeral was conducted without pomp or show, but was attended by large representations from the ariny and navy.

One of the grandest sort of entertain- ments took place at the Navy Yard last week. The United States Steamship Nip- sic was launched. She has been on the stocks, in process of construction, for nearly five years, and was the first vessel of the kind that has been launched from this yard for 25 years. From 20,000 to 50,000 per. sons were present—steamers, tugs and sailboats in the river being thronged with spectators, among whom were the Presi- dent’s family, several Cabinet members, Congressmen and other officials. The launch was a magnificent one, successful in every particular ; and at the moment de- scribed in the couplet—

“* She starts, she moves, she seems to feel The thrill of life along her keel ”

tev. John Miller, of Princeton, N. J., recently found guilty of heresy, has with- drawn from the Presbyterian Church.

Dr. Kenealy, in a recent speech in the House of Commons, declared that ‘‘the penny press was the devil's right hand.”

A Cincinnati submarine diver, for a $10,- 000) wager, proposes to walk 500 miles on the bottom of the Ohio River in twenty-five days.

The Spanish Government, on a question of confidence, was sustained by a vote of 210 to 73. The Government has loaned Cuba $2,500,000.

The English strike is thought to be vir- tually at an end and the masters have con- sented to open their mills and give their workmen a chance to resime work if they ciesire.

lt is announced that Oxford University will confer the honorary degree of Doctor of Common Law upon Mr. Edward Pierr- pont, the late Minister of the United States to Great Britain.

News from Capetown indicates that the natives are giving way before the British forces, and a portion of the troops will be transferred to Natal, to prevent any trouble with the Zulus.

Two of Bismarck’s nieces, with whom he had quarrelled for some reason reported as futile, were lately applicants at a London agency for situations as governesses. . They required the families to be titled.

In the House of Lords last night, the Duke of Richmond said the Anglo-Russian agreement published in the Globe was sur- reptitiously obtained, and, as an exposition of the Government’s policy, was incom- plete, and therefore inaccurate.

A Berlin despatch says: The report re- ceived from Vienna of a mediated attack on the hfe of the Crown Prince Frederick Wil- liam caused some sensation. Over 130 Socialists were arrested at Tivoli-Biengarten, near Vienna.

A society in honor of the poet Goethe has been founded at Vienna, Its object is to establish a Goethe library and issne edi- tions of his chief works at a price reason- able enough to bring them within the reach of all classes.

A Paris special states that before the de- parture from Paris, on Friday, for Holland, General Grant took leave of President Me- Mahon. The Marshal was very cordial, saying that ‘‘France was honored by the presence of so illustrious a General.”

Here is an item for the superstitious. A large and costly steel portrait of the poet Bryant hung in an office in Pittsfield, Mass. On the afternoon when he met with his ac- cident the cord which held the portrait broke and it fell to the floor, shattering the frame and breaking the glass, but only slightly injuring the picture.

We have learned on good authority that a single firm, which will shortly return to Canada from England, wiil bring back, for cattle exported to the latter country, a million anda half pounds sterling. The

the enthusiasm was of the intensest sort. The great ship slid into the element which was to be her home with a joyous bound, | ploughing deep into the water and speeding straight across the river, never heeding the light anchor dropped at once to stop her, and coming to terms only when she hit a mud bank, into which she furrowed half her length, and defied all tug power to tow her off, but waited for the tide to lift her. The Nipsie will be barque-rigged, and of 1,375 tons displacement.

A very strange rumor is abroad concern- ing certain statements made by Gen. Grant’s brother relative to the ex-Presi- dent’s absence from this country and his prospects for re-election to the Presidency in 1880. He says that the proposition to place the General on the retired list instead of being done to honor and compliment the hero is a trick of politicians to “‘shelve” him so that he cannot again become a Presidential candidate. The loquacious brother further states that Gen. Grant left Washington a poor man, and that foreseeing |

results of other like operations in cattle, horses, sheep and pigs, will add materially to thissum. This news, with the promise of an abundant crop, is very encouraging. Canada is evidently determined to be satisfied: with nothing but a front rank in whatever she undertakes. .

Lord Castlereagh’s plain black coat at the Congress of Vienna,amid the blaze of orders and ribbons worn by his co-delegates, is matter of history, and it may be observed that England’s representatives at the Con- gress of Berlin have not a single star or rib- bon between them. A less decorated Gov- ernment than that of England to-day pro- bably was never known in Europe. With the exception of the Duke of Richmond, who is a K. G., and Sir Stafford Northcote, who is a Companion of the Bath, not one member of the Cabinet has a decoration of any,sort whatevcr. It is probable that after the Congress Her Majesty will avail her- self, as Sovereign of the Order of the Garter, to create Lords Beaconsfield and Salisbury extra Knigts,
