JAMES OORDEN BENNETT IN XO VE WITH
Af DANISH PRINCESS.
Kew York, April 11, 1873. It is
a great wonder that '- the newspapers
have not already taken up the present
Bubjett of street gossip in the metrop-
. Oils. '. r '
The subject of this flatter is young
Bennett, whose father established the
Herald. He has been flying around
Europe and Northern Africa for the'
- months past, ingratiating r himself
into the goocl graces of all the
leading crowned heads of the Old
World, ,:i
Bennett has cherished a fondness for
,one of the daughters of Christian IX,
uf Denmark, and for the purpose of
properly paving his way to the haugh
ty old King, he has shrewdly managed
tho E,ur.pean department gf the IIer
.aid in order te impress the great influ
enco of his newspaper more firmly up"
en the old man's mind.
And to still further stamp the great,
t ness and power of his New York estab-'
j lishraent, he determined to plain a mys.
tery that had been a problem which
for years the whole world had failed to
solve The story of the lost 'Living
stone and his discovery is yet fresh in
the minds.or the community. -Bennett's
fame was then flourished to the
world, and not only King Christian
but the crowned head .of Continental
Europe looked upon young Bennett as
a potentate far more powerful than any
f their. kind. The discovery of Liv-
; ingstcpo was his master-piece, and
brake down the last barrier between
. himself and every court of Continent
si Europe.
JJennett's infatuation for the young
princess is laid to be intense,, he hay
ing first met her in Berlin four years
-ago. Sinv.e then he has been spending
much of his time in Europe, always
of Denmark. Vtrhy Bennett has hx
acting so circumspectly is this ; King
Christian is a haughty old sovereign,
and ever since the days when the Prin
cess Dowager, of Schleswig-IIolstein-Noes,
the daughter of a Boston mer-"
chant named Hay, failed to obtain re:
cognition as a Princess of the royal
Danish family at" the hands of the
King, together with the recent excite
ment in the Danish Court upon hear
lrlg the news of the marriage of the
Marquis of Lome in England, young
Iknnett, acting under the advice of
the most prominent men of the Old
World, with-held his proposition. But
& few weeks, however, before Bennett's
mother died, he was introduced to
King Christian, and now it is stated
upon the' best authority that the mar
ritge has been agreed upon.
This Danish family is destined soon
to be one of the most powerful in the
world; The present King of Greece is
the second son of King Christian, and
Ms two elder daughters are married to
tk
e heirs apparent of Russia and Great
Britain. The female members of the
family are said to be the most beau,
tiful women in Europe, and as
joung BerWtt's taste .ran in that
groove, he Us succeeded" admirable
Well. , i

Of lat? there has been a report of, a
mad scheme set afloat to the effect that
Bennett jras jabout making Urge pur-!
chases in Spain, for the purpose of
some day becoming Governor or Presi
dent .of the southwestern Peninsula.
Indeed, Sickles and Bennett bad been
charged upon various occasions as be
ing directly concerned in the abdica
tion ef Amadeus, they5 having offered
sufficient inducements; for his retiring
from the throne. It is also said that
Bennett induced the Princess Dowager
of Schleswig-fIolstein.(she having mar
ried the cousin of the King), to leave
the Danish Kingdom in order to pacify the. little torch-light procession march
the court, for his own entree. This, it ed into the cafe. Other boys at the
is said! Bennett did after the stern old same time went in a short distance and
King had refused to acknowledge the returned. T$e five were no"t missed
American' woman as a princess of his by their parents until late in the even
court. , t ing, when they were informed by the
Count Ran tzow, who is one of the
greatest favorites of Christian in the
kingdom, is said to have lent tbemost
efficient aid. to bring about youag Ben
nett's most -cherished wishes. This

Count Is the same personage who was,
and is to-day, so deeply in love with a
Miss Laboiteux, ' a charming young
American girl, who is a companion of

.
tne princess Dowager above alluded to.
The young lady jilted the Count some
time ago; and as she is said to be a re
lative of Mr. Cohnery, the present man.
aging editor of, the Herald, Bennett
held sufficient influence to satisfactori
ly arrange matters between the lady
and Count Eantzow, and .thus secure
the Jatter's valuable services in his
(Bennett's) own behalf. .
In .spite of all difficulties Mr. Ben
nett is reported as being determined to
bring about an early celebration of the
marriage, Jennings, of the Times is
said to be conversant With the facts'
and while Bejinett is for the time being
withdrawri from public affairs; the
former will visit Etrope to push on the
Reading Eagle.

ZMXa of Hiiiitl.
A man who had for years carried an
old and cherished watch about him.one
day .called onlts maker, and told Mm
it was no longer useful, for it would no
longer keep time correctly':
" Let me examine it," said the ma
ker, and, taking a powerful glass, he
looked carefully and steadily Into the
works till he spied just one little grain
of sand. -
" I have it," he said. "I can get
over your difficulty."
' About this moment, by some pow
erful but unseen power, the little grain,
suspecting, what was coming, cried
out : '
" Let me alone ! TanPbut a small
thing, and take up so little ro;ourj can
not possibly injure the watch- twenty
or thirty of us might do harm, but I
cannot ; so let me alone.' ' : .
The watchmaker replied :
" You must come out,' for you spoil
my work, and all the more so that you
are so smalU and but a few people can
see you." . "
Thus it is with us, whether children
cr elders one lie, one feeling of pride,
vanity or disobedience, may be such a
little one that none but purse 'yes know
of it yet God, who sees alj things,
knows it, and! that one sin, however lit
tle it may appear, will spoil all bur
best efforts in! His service.

One j frosty morning I .was

and meek till one of tbe cows, in a
tempting to j turn round, happened to
hit her next neighbor, whereupon the
neighbor kicked another,'- In five, m-n
utt-s the whole herd were kicking' each-

laoghed and aad . See yrhat comes

I have seen one crres w?rd set a whole

DEVOTED TO POLITICS, LITEEA TURE, SCIENCE AND ART. .'!'
FIVE CHILDREN UXDER GROITNT) FOR
FIFTEEN HOURS WITHOUT FOOD OR
WATER.
In quarrying' in South Hannibal,
Mo., a cave was? recently discovered by
the workmen, 'An exploring expedi
tion was organized by five boys, whose
ages ranged from nine . to 'thirteen
years. Providing themselves ' with
pieces of candle an inch or two in
length, which were all lighted at once,
lads who entered with them that they
naa gone intoitnecave at lUo clock in
the morning, knee which time they had
1 . I . . .
not seen them. - j
The alarm jhat five boys were lost in
the cave drewj a vast crowd around its
mouth, among whom were the fathers,
mothers, brothers, and sisters of the
lost ones. Several uarties immed iate-
ly entered the cave in search of them
but all returned Vv ithout a trace of the
lost children,
night a party
About 11 ' o'clock at
pf five was organized, who
entered the cave with ths determina
tion to do pr die. In order to not lose
their way, they unwound a ball of
twice as they proceeded.1 In this way
they hAd used, up six balls of t-ine,
when they disooyered tracks near a rift,
or fissure in the rocks, barely large
enough jto admit the body cf the small
est of the party. He squeezed himself
through it, and going some distance he
called out, receiving no answer ;j he
penetrated still further and called
again, when hk thought : he heard a
faint response He thrust forward the
bull's eye lantern which he carried.and I
proceeiing in Ja like manner some dis
tance further, he heard a voice ; ex
claim :
"Oh, I see a light," ,j
And he knew the lost were found.
Their situation was pitable, indeed.
"When found tjiey were in a crevice in
the reck, seeking a large place where
they could all lie down and sleep to
gether. The joy consequent upon their de
liverance almost overcome them. The
searching party emerged from the cave
about 1 o'clock at night, the lost boys
having been immured some fifteen
hours witout food or water. Tbe mid:
night air was made glad by the shouts
of joy which greeted their appearance
to the outer w arid, while parents clasp
ed their darlir gs to their hearts, their
eyes stream In; with tears and their
lips uttering prayer of thanks -giving
to tjod for their safe deliverance.
The boys stated that their candles
went out, and they groped around in
the darkness 1 3 find the way back.dur
ing which time the youngest of the lit
tle party was taken sick with a severe
chill and layed down. They rubbed
him vigorously and succeeded in re
storing him, after which they proceed
ed on their search for the entrance. j
After wanderir g for hours and their j
efforts proving vain, they sat down and
cried. Drying their tears they en-
cou:ag;d each
pther with the hope that
the bpys whd
entered the cave part
would tell their par
way with them
ents, upon which a search would be in
stituted.
Prayer AaidL Deliyemnce-
A home bound vessel was overtaken
by a terrible storm. She was ao severe
ly irjured that little hope of safety was
left. All hanc s were employed at the
pump?, but th s water gained on them
s.owly and sure'y. The captain bid
them prepare lor the wcrst, which
must soon! com ; upon.them. The mate
was a wild, can-less yuog man, but
now be was tff actually sobered. He
was walking tie dtck with an anxious
brow, every few momettg taking out
his watch to see the time ot day. j
"We are lost,'' sai.l the capta.n to
him; "the vessel cau t uye much locg
er in such a gale.
LOUISBURG, NV C, MAY 2,
But still the young man paid little
beed to him, examining his watch of
teoer and more anxiousy. At last be
gave a glad shout as he cried : "We
are sale 1 We cannot be lost!" ,
On being asked the reason for his un
accountable behavior, he replied with
enthusiasm, It is father's hour of
prayer. He is praying to God now
for me. The vessel can never sink
while my father's prayers are going up
to Heaven,' I
The despairing crew caught fresh
courage from his wordit and redoubled
their efforts, and so were able to keep
afloat until the storm ceased when
they made sail and came into port.M.
