The collation that was served was in full keeping with the elegance that marked every feature of the auspicious occcsion.

The Title to A3OOOOOO. Pall Mall Gazette : What is likely to bo a cause relobre will probably bo tried during the present j'ear by certain persons claiming to bo heirs to the Whaddcn Hall estates. The raanorof Whaddon and Nash is of remote origin , for William Gilfard , earl of Buckingham , was granted the manor of Wadone by William , the conqueror , llft-fonnded about 108-1 the Cluniac Priorv of St. Faith , at Longueville , in Nor- mandy.and bestowed upon it the church of Waddon , the tithes of the demesne lands , and of his woods , pannage and venison , and all other profits from his woodlands and pasturage in Whaddou. The manor and appurtenances descended to Walter , second carl of Buckingham , on whoso death the same escheated to the crown. It was granted by Henry II. , in 1173 , to Unmet , constable of Normandy , and descended - scended to his son , William liuniet , who was deprivo.1 by King , /olm , and the lat ter granted It to William , carl of Arun- del , and it again reverted to the crown. In 1243 Henry 111. granted it to John Fitz-Geofl'ry. The estates can be traced through m , ny hands.down to the year 1701 , when they were in the possession of Thomas James Selby. lie died unmarried in 1772 , having by his will made , in 17(58 ( , devised these estates to his right and law ful heir in fee simple , for the better dis covery of whom advertisements were to bo published. No one , however , has proved to bo the right and lawful heir. All the members of the Shelby family who arc now living , } and to whom the testator was a member , retained the ser vices of a Air. Aldrod , of Camborwell , a gentleman engaged in research , to com pile Mich a pedigree as includes every branch of the testator's family. Air. Aldred has in con'souucncn com piled a huge pedigree , cither tracing each branch down to some living person or showing tlio extinction thereof. In this way counsel have advised that the court must elect from , the numerous claimants such a person us will uc deomcd to be the right and lawful heir ol the testator. Records bavo been found which hitherto have cither bcon sup pressed or unknown , arict among these documents arc some original declarations of persons now deceased , proving tin concealment of and tampering with reg isters and other records. Owing to this startling evidence and the fact that the pedigree is forty-eight square feet in size , and the evidence in support weighs scv oral hundred weight , the case will un doubtedly bo moro notorious than the Tiehborno trial. The estates are valucil at i'3,000,000 , besides a fund in chancon derived from accumulated rents ani : prolits.

Jluc jLietter. PAKIS , April 10. [ Correspondence of the BKE. ] lr , Koch was captain to Prince Alexander of Hattenberg , and now publishes his experience of the Bul garians and a running commentary on the events connected with the reign of the ex-princo. The divinity doctor does , not so much lot cats out of the bag , as to let in light , on the great game of hy pocrisy played , and still playing , in the Balkan peninsula. Prince Alexander can well subscribe to the maxim , "uneasy lies the head that wear.s a crown , " as ho on one occasion wrote to his sister , the Comtcsso d1 Erboeh , his "throne was seated on dynamite.1' And yet his archenemy - enemy the czar , is if anything worse. Alexander retired from business , and at homo with his pa , is a thousand times more comfortable than Alexander 111. , of Russia , who if lie promenades in the streets of Ins capital , is exposed to be blown into fragments , and if lie takes his walk abroad-in rtipiseclusion of Gatscheria park , runs the risk of being shot by his own sentinel ollicers. Alunkacny's "Last Day of a Condemned,11 is a relief beside the agony of the white czar , for we know how his nerves arc unstrung , and the fear ot death i.s most inapprehension. Nor can ho omit from his bed of torture , that if he concedes a constitution , his nobles have also decided means , how to deal with disobedient or flighty czars. At the time the revolution broke out in Roumelia , the three emperors expressed the most perfect surprise. All a farco. The outbreak was planned and the date fixed to opcntho ball in the presence of the ollicial representatives of Russia , who furthermore signed the minutes | of the meeting , anil a copy was sent to St. Petersburg. Only the czar was disap pointed when the resolution failed to sweep away his namesake. Dr. Koch Asscns Bismarck was delighted at the spectacle of A OKIIMAX KL'I.INT. IN IIUUiAKIA , and his whole aim is , "remembering his contempt for mankind , and his readiness to sacrifice tiio whole world for the in terests of Germany , " to use Bulgaria as a bon bon to recompense whatever power would be most useful to him in his little game. Coming from a Teuton , that is rough on the chancellor. Palm Sunday had in its favor most lovely weather , baby spring not moro than a fortnight old by the almanac indulged in her prettiest smiles , and which would have been ex tremely warm , only a disagreeable relative from } ho northeast accompanied the pop'ular favorite. "Hosanna Sun day , " as it is. sometimes called on the continent , is ardently looked foward to by young and old ; the young rejoice they are a year older , and the aged , that they may count on living round to the next winter. Palm being limited in sup ply in Franco , box docs duty as substi tute. In the provinces , where the shrub is almost a tree , branches are cut , and suspended therefrom are apples or cakes , tied with white and blue ribbons , and that are given to those children who are most forward in their preparations for confirmation. A sprigof boxprcsontedby an infant to an aged person , signifies long life. life.A morsel of blessed box is continually placed in the hands of a deceased ; and it is accepted as a preservative against lightning may it also prove ellieaeions against earthquakes. In Hritany and in the neighborhood where Al. Renau was born , the sacred box is regarded as the harbinger of good crops , if the sun shines , pending that it is being blessed ; some leaves are strewn in the cots of newly born babies , such being reputed to keep away disease. In the south of Franco myrtle , laurel and olive are the substi tutes for palm. In Alsace the children have a peculiar ceremony on Palm Sun- dai ; they collect from house to house the ends of candle ? , and , fixing them lighted on a piece of wood , to which a string is attached , allow them to float down a stream. The lights , when burned or washed out , symbolize the death of winter. Paris depends on Ver sailles foi her supply of box , and next , Campiegno and Fountainblcau. The wholesale price is live franc ? per cut ; re tailed in the vicinity of the churchs , a few sprigs cost as many sous , and the poor who sell it to the passers by , have no reason to complain of their two day's sales , thu eve and tlio festival. The increased attendance at the churches for- Till : Sl'KriAI , I.KSTES SKUVIPES conferences might bo equally the ap propriate term , has boon visible to the most causual observer. This is the out come of tliu evolution which has been quietly but rapidly taking place in pul pit e.oquenco. The most fashionable preachers the Pore Alonsabro has been the leader of this reformation have in. froduced "modernism" into their for- inons. And the latter are not orations , but addresses , commonplace , manly , straight-out talks , to the congregations , whcro everyday sins and wrongs , anil vices , are attacked and exposed ; where the vices of men are taken and handled as so many documents , with precision ; and religion , not dogma , prescribed as the safety and sheet.anchor for the tem pest-tossed in the world of doubt , tribula tion and despair. The Lenten preachers have received C a mot d'ordrc. to dr'uw noon the scion. tilic nnd literary movements of the age , for all "the attraction and success , they can lend to religion , and above all. to adopt language and style to hearers , so that among those who may have come to scoff , a few may re- remain to pray. Nothing political is in troduced such sermonizing died with the league. The preachers have rejuve nated their sermons ; have come into touch with the people , and speak a busi nesslike tongue to them on the greatest of all business holy living and holy dying. Tlio clergy , in a word , are throw ing "actuality" into their pulpit dis courses. In Ki77 Hourdalouo preached in the cathedral of Rouen ; artisans left their shops , traders their counters , mer chants their otlices , barristers their study , doctors , when able , their patients to lis ten to tlio divine. " 1 have changed all that. " said Canon Alenago.to Pern d'Har- rouis. who the next year succeeded Hour dalouo. Draw people to' church and then talk to them , so as to catch their at tention. It was on this principle Pore Lacordairo acted. On one occasion he was told the crowd waiting to be admitted to Notre Da nepasscd their time frivolously and peeling oranges. . "They are just the people I want , " he replied , "and if possi ble , give them seats near the pulpit. " Eternal truths will not suffer when clothed in modern dress , or seasoned with the spirit of tlio times , and stimu lated with the activity of the age. It is by keeping tliese facts in view , that the"1'cro Monsabre now fills Notre Dame. He has been described as A MONK OK TllEMlDUU : AC.KS steeped in modernism ; he attacks social evils with tlio strategy of a warrior , and if ho does not express victory in his eves like the great Condo , he feels it innis head , asTurenne. "He makes me turn over 'my conscience , " as a sceptical Parisian once truly described that clergyman. Ho asks his countrymen to bo two things christiar.s and patriots. In 1871 , six months after tlio signing of peace , Pero Alonsabrc prcachi'd the Lenten sermon in Aletz cathedral. Al luding to the defe.1t of his fellow coun trymen , ho said to the Alsatians just torn from the side of Franco : "You are not dead : they may change your name , but not your blood. Everywhere I go , 1 swear to you , I shall call you French till that blessed day. when 1 shall return to this cathedral to preach the sermon of deliverance and to chant with you such aTe To Deum , as these aisles have never before heard. " The men escorted the preacher , with their hats off , to the bishop's palace , ami the women waved their handkerchiefs already with mourning borders and lined1 the route , all shouting , vivo la France ; Next day a German oflicer called to see Pore Alonsabrc , who was by then , in the midst of a siirsum corda sermon , at Paris. Pranzini htill keeps to the front , as the leading actuality ; that ho is an accom plice in the triple murder of the Hue Montaigne , admits of no doubt ; the man who cut the throats , or rather decapi tated his victims , is still at large. The cabby who drove Pranzini for homo hours in Paris the day following the crime , to view oven the house where the dead was perpetrated , has given important information mation , establishing that Pranzini was accompanied part of the day in the ve hicle by a man , answering to the descrip tion of' the wretch that was seen by the house porter , who came with the mur dered flash woman , the night of the murder , and remained in her apart ment. Pranzini declines to give the name of this pal , or even a description of him , though both sent oil' registered packets of the victim's jewelry the same day through the post. The author ities believe they are in presence of a band of reprobates , who lived by mur dering ami HOlllllNC UICH IM'.MIJIONDHNS. Four of the latter have been assassin- atrd anil no clue has yet been found of the murderers. Pranzini is a very handsome man , of engaging manners and scdui'tive con versation , He hung rffund the big hotels and news rooms , whom Americans most dp congregate , offering h.s services to visitors as guide , philosopher and friend to fast life in Paris. Ho had always plenty of pocket money , never worked , and perhaps he is not wholly stranger to many of the mysterious disappearances of respectable persons found drowned and gagged , and tishod up in the Seine. His arrest has cut short one possible trair- edy. He won the alft-ctions of a young American lady last autumn , who was staying at tlio Continental hotel. Shu i.s said to bo from Cincinnati , and the daughter of a merchant. ' 1 hey corre sponded ; since his arrest a letter has been seized by the pollen , addressed to Pranzini , from the young lady , who en closed her photo. The prefect of police , it is said , has been in communication with one of the pitors : of the American churches hero , to acquaint the young lady's family with the situation , and if possible bog thorn to send any photo given by Franzini of himself orQhis friends , but above all , if gifts of jewelry have been made , as tliese might connect with other murders. It i.s supposed Prim- zini shared in the triple as.-assiuation , to secure the means to lit himself out to hail from Alarsoillos to New York ; gain Tin ! cinnati ; elope with the young lady , or utilize his iiilluenco oycr her to commit some new crime. The Champ do .Mass noninonri-s to pry for an occasional visit , the foundations of the several houtious of the exhibition structure commence to .show , and mounds of excavated earth an. numerous. It is now it definite fact that neither Russia , Germany nor Austria , will have anything to do with a festival glorifying the revo lution of 17H'J. ' However , other inon- archial governments are not so squeam ish. The French miiU only wMiroiso their ingenuity to utilUuthnBpacc re orv- I'd for thn rufiibfirs. The I-ronch are not acting wisely in their pofioy to exclude everything foreign , where it can bedoni- , from their economic and trading life.

The Wagnorphobists seem more than over determined , that no opera house subsidized by the state , shall bo given to bring put any of Wagner's compositions ; if a private establishment affords the re quired hospitality , it must take chance tor squalls. The brutal , and to all ap pearance inept , expulsion from Al.wcu of M , Antono , deputy at the reichstag for a district in Alsace , and leader ol the French sympathisers of the amputated province , i-au only intensify the patriotic- set against the Gorman composer , not because ho is 'a 1870-71 German , but for his unseemingly rabid attacks at that epoch , on the Gauls. No sutor ultra ere- puliim. llochcport , who is a passionatu admirer of scientific music , in IIH usual' ' eccentric. Ho censures his countrymen/ . for refusing to take what is good from anV enemy , such as Wagner's Parsifal anil/ / Walkyrie. and which have moulded alf modern French composers , but ho ob-1 jcets to them purchasing German boots , shoes , hats , stuffs , toys , etc. Tno waiters and grocers' assistants in Paris have since months been agitating to put down the registry ollices ; as they are having recourse to violence , they are losing in public sympathy. They want capital to found a central rcgHtrv otllco of their own. There are at Ieast"200,0l ( ) ) of waiters , etc. , in the city ; one franc fro.m each would give moro than double the starting capital they require. Thev held a curious public meeting the other day ; the price of admission was live sous ; when the press members arrived they were refused admission , unless they paid twenty sous ; they offered five sous , like an ordinary unit of the public , but were met by a declined with thanks. It is the lirst tinie a press man was ap praised as being four times more import ant impossible to .suppose more wealthy than a member of the general public , it is not much , but still something. Franco docs not know all her concealed wealth. At Brest , two state barges all ornamented with gold like gingerbread cake , have boon discovered in the arsenal ; one was destined for Napoleon III , and tlio other for his son. It appears a guar dian was tolled oil' to show these relics of the second empire to visitors , and his salary for the last sixteen years has cost the republic 20,000 francs. To expend such a sum for a souvenir of the man of Sedan , the extreme journals consider to bo more than a humiliation , and next tea a crime. Yet the same prudery docs not object to paying thousands of francs an nually to guard more than the relics , of TMi : MAN OF AVATKU1.0O , at the Invalides. Hotting pcopio commence to rub their thumbs ; the itching relates to the Congo lottery of IfiO.OOO.OOO francs to recoup the king of the Belgians his investment in the dark continent. . France will float the tickets ; imagine the partisans of tlio col onial expansion of Franco , winning an estate , whose extent would only bo measured by latitude nnd longitude. If the tickets bo put up at a franc , the dis tressed Irish might try their luck on that land question. Minister Lockroy has just stated that i\ trench consul was lately asked , to fur nish trade information about the country to which ho was accredited. Ho replied : " 1 only look after politics ; for the other matters must refer you to the English consulate. " Probate Notice.
