If. at llio coming celebration. King Christian is unable to say to his sub jects what the king of Holland said to Ins people on a like occasion mat he had always protected the rights and liberties "of all his subjects be can claim that he has been an exemplary husband and fathor. Born in 1818, Prince Christian of Glucksburg married in 1842 the Princess Louise, daughter of Landgrave of Hosse-Cassel. At the time of his marriage Prince Christian was living at Frankfort, and befor be became presumptive heir to the crown gave drawing lessons to eke out his modest income, it was in the free German city, I believe, that nearly all his children were born, and it was there that the young princesses who were later on to have such high positions were taught how to cook and make their own dresses.

Prince Christian served in the Danish army during the Scbleswig war in 1848. After be was conhrmed as heir to the throne by the vote of the Danish Par liament in 1853. ho was made L'outon- ant-General-commander of the cavalry and member of the privy council. The King is several months younger than the Queen, but looks older and more worn out. He has the education and manners of a perfect gentleman, but his court is not very gay, he and the Queen being rigid Lutherans.

The Pr nee of Wales is said to reluctantly accompany his wife on the annual visit the Princess makes to Copenhagen, for the arausemont offered there to his Royal Highness is of the most meagre description. However, tue other themselves at theso family reunions, where they are able to throw off all restraint and give themselves up to the dolce far mente. At Copenhagen the King and Queen, with the Prince Royal and Prince Valdemar and their families, inhabit the Auialienburg palace, and, in summei they live at the chateau of Berustorff; but when there ore large family gatherings they are obliged to go to the Fredericksbarg palace, which is large enouzh to accommodate, on a pinch, all the royal children and grandchildren. Situated on Lake Esrom and surronnded with hills and woods, this princely -'chateau of peace" is in a most attractive spot. The building, which consists of a central pavil on and two wings, is very plainly furnished, but has some masterpieces in its gal lery.

In tbe King's reception room there Is a magnificent white bearskin, giveu bim by the Czar, nnd in hie study the most prominent object is a large photograph of the Empress of Russia, who is her father's preferred child. The Princess of Wales is her mother's favorito, and both being fine musicians pass hours together at tbe piano. The civil list of the Danish King Is not large, and when the Princess Alexandra complains each year about the same old instrument upon which she used to drum in her girlhood davs. Queen Louise smilingh tells her that with such a large family she has been obliged to be very economical in tbe way of luxuries. George Buendel in 'Ocu LONG WINDED ORATOR.

A British Columbia Speaks Tweuty-silz Honn Wltboui Stopping. A Philadelphia lawyer will frequent ly extend his remarks through three oi four days. In tbe Georgia legislature, when tbi question of expelling the negn members was up, Aaron Alpeorii Bradley spoke four days. The Tichborne trial brought Dr. Ken ale to the front with a speed runnintr through liu nays.

But these speakers did not talK con' tinually. Adjournments for dinner anc over night and for Sunday made th work easy. the longest speech on record is pro bably tbe one made by Mr. De Cosmos, a member of the legislature of Britist Columbia, some time ago, says tb Atlanta Constitution. A bill was pend ing which, if passed, would depriv many settlers of their lands, and the temper of tbo majority made it certa that it would pass.

Tbe legislature was within a day and a half of the hour of its final adjournment and the vote was about to be taken. At that juncture De Cosmos rose to address the body. It was 10 o'clock in tbe morning, ana tbe memoen thought that he would finish in an hour or two. Tbe clock struck 11, 12 and 1, but the speaker kept rielit on. How long would he speakP The members In a spirit of fun, omitted tc adjourn for dinner, but De Cosmos spoke on without a break.

At six clock he was still on the floor. He was forced by tbe speaker to stick tc tbe question and not pause except to take a drink of water. Tbe majority decided to continue the session through tbe night; slipping out in small parties to eat and sleep. Still, without faltering, the orator poured forth his torrent of words. This was the situation at midnight; and also when the morning sun flooded the hall with tbe lieht of day.

As the hour hand of the clook pointed lo 13, the limit prescribed by law for the session had arrived, and the legislature stood adjourned sine die. At the last stroke of 13 the brave De Cosmos in the middle of I sentence and fell fainting in his seat He had spoken, standing on his feet, twentv-six hours. His eyes were bleared and red, and bis parched lips were oraoked and running blood. He was nearly dead, but he had prevented tbe bill from becoming a law, and bad saved tbe settlers their homes. De Cosmos may never be heard again as an orator, but this single speech is enough to make bim famous.

There is on Fourteenlh street place which gots its patronage from the very swellest and most exclusive circles of societv. The place has no sign, nothing to give it away as a pawnbroker's shop, but such it is, not- witnstanding its handsome entrance and liveried door-tender, who ushers tbe visitors or patrons into an elegantly furnished drawing-room, decorated witu rare onc-a-brao and choice paintings. The woman who keeps it, for the proprietor is a woman, is dressed in the latest style, and receives bei customer as if a guest It is not until after the usual exchange of morning salutions that she asks: "What can I do for madame Ihit morning?" Then madame displays a set of jewelry, diamonds, perhaps, or bric-a-brac, on which she wishes a loan. Sometimes a note Is given at the rate of tifteen or twenty per cent. These notes, however, seldom go to protest, for tbe givers do not care to have these transactions known to their husbands; but; apart from that; they care but little, as it is generally understood that a rich woman frequently exceeds her allowance and makes It up on the next, while the obliging broker makes a good profit from the necessities oi fashionable women.

The "duplicate-gift" woman who calls at tbe handsome "brown front" house just after a fashionable wedding, is known to the neighbors, who sees her ascend from a carriage or a barouche, only as a caller, but she makes quite living In buying up the dublicate gifts.

Of course they were disposed at a sacrifice and the young bride worried for weeks for fear the ran act on would leak out, but what could she lo?

At the first halt the Duo d'EiiRhien's abductors made, their prisoner requested thorn to send back to Etleuliuiiu for bis "dog and his clothes." He did well to ask for bis dog, for at tstrasburg Napoleon bad ordered that bis friends and servants were to leave him. His dog, however, since it lacked "the divno power to speak was not included in the order. In the brief days of life which remained to him. this speechless friend was his only companion, went with him a prisoner to Paris, and entered Viucennes at bis heels. On bis arrival there be was depressed, and his dog lded up to him, and Lamartine says: "The spaniel which be had kept at bis side the whole route rested his head-on his master's knee." The dog begu led bim out of dark thoughts of his doleful prospects, bis spirits rose, and he left the window, out of which be had been disconsolately staring, and called his dog to share his supper with him.

The faithful creature was on guard beside him when one midnight he was aroused from his sleep to appear before his judge. The Duke, sure of his innocence, went to the mockory of a trial with san guine hopes of a speedy release. He did not know that during bis trial his grave was being dug. Aft' er leaving the judgment hall thepviso oe still unsupicious of the haste to tulnll the sentence from which he ex pected a pardon, was talking to Lieut Noiret, a soldier who had known bis grandfather, the Prince of Conde. A historian savs "be plaved with his dog" while chatting gayly to the soldier.

The poor benst bad been ill at ease, for some subtle instinct warned it that there wus danger afoot Its dullest spirits were raised by its master's assurnno is; but it was shortlived contentminr, for the Duke and bis dumb friend were soon parted by deatb. The prisoner was ordered to follow the commander down a dart some s'airwav, w.iicli led into the moat. The Duke hesitated, but the dog followed wituout question at his master's heels. The Duke, when he reached the trench, realized the truth. He cut a lock of bis hair, gave it and a ring to JNoiret to send to nis e-trotlied.

Kings com-' oiemorate their coming to power, princes celebrate their silver weddings, And a whole crop of royal offspring is made happy by the betrothals arranged by shrewd and august parents. The echo of the festivities at Athens will have scarcely died away before King George's father and mother will begin to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of King Christian IX.

's accession to tbe throne of Denmark. It is not impossible that on this joyous occasion other engagements of the grandchildren of the Danish princely family may be announced. Some of the English royal grandchildren have reached a marriageable ago, the parents of the Grand Duke Nicholas, heir to the Russian throne, are looking over the list of suitable princesses, and rumor says that Prince George, of Greeoe. has been captivated by the bright eyes of the Princess Marguerite, daughter uf the Duke of Charters. No reigning house in Europe has niado so many "good matches" for its children as has the Danish royal family.

The king's eldest son. Christian, is married to the Princess Louise, of Sweden; Alexandra is Princess of Wales and future Queen of England; George is King of Greeoe; Dagmar is Empress of Russia; Thyra is Duchess of Cumberland and wife of the pretender to the Hanoverian crown; Valdemar, married to the Prineess Marie of Chnrlres, is a pdbsiblo future Klnir of ilulgatia. These alliances undoubtedly serve to soften King Christian's regret for the German spoliation of 1861 and to compensate him for tbe interior difficulties of bis reign difficulties, lot me add, that are entirely of his own mak ing. Although be owes bis orown as much to popular choice as to any right of monarchical success on.
