Hidden nv.uy in tiie exquisitely pic turesque : iiul mii iuliceut castle of Eis- grub , in Moravia , an old world ruler celebrated in .solitude the fortieth an niversary of his accession to ti ; > throne. lie is not insane. On the con trary , lie is one of the nest Intellect ually brilliant 'i.sveil as the most kindhearted - hearted of European sovereigns. Yet during these forty years lie has been practically invisible : u the \vorld. No one save his only brother and his confi dential secretaries and servants know even what ho looks like , and iiiy sub jects , iike the rest of the people on the continent , can only form conjectures as TO the nature of his rppt-air.nce. This hermit ruler is ihu reigning Prince of Liechtenstein , an independ ent sovereign , who , theoreil-jally. is still in a state o ! ' war against Prussia. For , when , in ISGfj. the various sovcr- j eign slates of ( Jeniviuy were called upon to array themselves cither on the ide of Austria or of Prussia , the Prince of Liechtenstein cast in his lot with Austria , boldly declared war against Prussia , and put on a v.ar foot ing his army of about 300 men. After the conclusion of the campaign Prussia concluded peace with the va rious States that had taken part iu the conflict. But somehow or other the principality of Liechtenstein was over looked or forgotten by Bismarck , and as if his attention had been drawn to the matter it would have resulted iu a doniand for indemnities , the Prince naturally foreboro to call the attention of Prussia to the neglect. No peace h.mng been concluded , therefore , bo- tweui the two countries , tb-y are theo retically still in a state of war. Few people are aware of the icasou for this mysterious seclusion of the Prince of Liechtenstein , who. hi spite of the smalliiess of his dominions , is one of the very wealthiest rulers of the world. The fact of the matter is that he is nlllieted with an intoslinal ail ment of such a character as debars him from the society of IKS fellow creatures , and to render his Isolation necessary. He entertains large parties of guests at his various castles during the shoot ing season , and likewise his palnco at Vienna during the c .rnival week. Bui while his guests are never permitted to want for anything , and are simply overwhelmed with delicate alienions ! , they never set eyes on their host throughout the entire time they are underneath his roof , and if they have anything to communicate to him they must do so by letter. It is a very sad life , and yet that it has not rendered the Prince a mis anthrope is shown by his boundless charity and philanthropy and by the number of his scientific studies and works which have won for him the honorary membership of the Imperial Academy of Science of Austria , lie is close upon GO years of age now. His next heir is his brother , Francis now Austrian ambassador at St. Pe tersburg , and who will succeed not only to his vast estates , but likewise to his sovereignty of Liechtenstein and to his dukedom of Troppau. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Typioiil ! This tinifly note is to be fount' ! in the Century : It is tvuc that the prepared ness for Avar on the parL of the Span iards was greater in proportion to the strength of the two nations than the preparedness of the United Stales. In eases where we actually had a slrongei armament , the great disproportion of loss , and the comparative inelJfceUve- ness of tiie Spanish arms , of course re dound to the credit of this country. The strength of America being , how ever , so preponderant , and on some oc casions our armament being so much more powerful , it is fortunate that there were occasions for many heroic acts on the part of Americans that were in the nature of "forlorn hopes. " | Among these the most conspicuous is ilie case of the crew of the Merriuiac. J Though Uie immediate object of the j sinking of the collier was not n ceo in- { plished , no event of the war afforded greater proof of the high morale of the entire navy , oflicers and men alike. The desire of officers and seamen to partici | pate in what must have looked like am inevitable sacrilice of limb or life is , not the least interesting and , indeed j pathetic part of Lieut , llobson's thrill ing narrative. The fact that so 111:1113 : stood ready to engage in the perilous duty , while it does not take a single leaf from the laurels of those who act- , nally took part in the maneuver , make * the heroism of the officer and crew of the Merrimac significantly typical. [ In 3IuIi-iil During the Wai * . An amusing account is given in the Century of the experiences of "An American in Madrid During the War. " The writer , Mr. Kdmond Kelly , was called from Paris to the Spanish cap ital at the outbreak of the war on bus iness of urgent importance. Fortu nately , as he thought , he spoke French iluently and had a Paris address ; and his principal disguise was "a foulard cravat , which Frenchmen tie in a loose bow like that in which our grandmoth ers tied their bonnet-strings fifty years ago. " The Spanish charge d'affaires at Paris gave him no encouragement. There was risk of being arrested rs a spy , and treated accordingly. Mr. Kelly found his invasion of hostile territory so cas'y , however , as to be positively humiliating. He spent seven weeks in j Madrid , suffering little or no annoy ance. A Very Clever Younj ?
