Dispatches from abroad are again
weighted with the \yoos of American
woman wedded to titles. The latest
victim of titled avarice is the daughter
of Mrs. John \V. Mackay , who has ap
plied for soimratum from her husband ,
friiico Colonna of Italy. The story of
her marital miseries does not differ inn-
torlally from scores of American women
who sacrificed happiness , honor , oven
life , for fetid aristocracy with bankrupt
titles. Prince Colouna was a sport , and
money was necessary to gratify his pas
sion. An income of $175,000 a year pro
vided by the print/ess was insufficient.
Then followed taunts , cuffs and kicks ,
eliding In doburliou and divorce.
The record of international matrimonial
menial alliances show that misery is the
rule , hnpninctis the exception. There is
a preponderance of evil over good. The
decayed aristocracy of Europe , bankrupt
in manhood and money , are not blumu-
bio for taking advantage of the Ameri
can cru/.o for titles. In * expressive
phrase of the btroot , they are out for
Htuff. and generally got it. The respoh-
slblllty rests on the moneyed aristocracy
and the vanity which does not hesilato
to saorllluo young women and fortunes
for the prestige of foreign connection.
Happily the number of ready victims is
diminishing.
Notalilo Instiiicu : ,
Headers of newspapers recull the
marital miseries of the daughter of
General Grant. But lot them pass. lie
is dead. Collls P. Hnntington paid out
about $2,000,000 in settling tlio debts of
Prince Hat/.foldt , n'nort , rounder and
rquo , before his inarriago to Clura Pren
tice , lluntlngton'tf adopted daughter.
Of the happiness of this alliance tlio less
said the better.
The fate of Margaret Puller , tlio
countcsH d'Ossoll , who was drowned with
her babe and her husband in tlio bark
Mexico off tlio Long Island coast , has
never been cited as an instance of tlio

The petition to the court of common

where ho dealt in railway and steamship
tickets. The countess , who was eom-
polled to support herself , consulted u
lawyer and a complaint was served on
the count asking for a divorce. The
count did not stop to interpose an
answer , because , it is said , ho was in
financial trouble which rendered his
absence from the city imperative , and
the countess got her divorce by do-
fault. The last heard of the count ho
was u waiter in a restaurant.

The departure of two Brazilian war cruis
ers , the Niethcroy and America , from Now
York for the beleaguered city ol Hio ilo
Janeiro , is an event of great interest , partic
ularly in naval circles. Both vessels were
purchased and outfitted in Now York. They
are unarmoreil , but what they lack in this
respect is made up in speed and the most de
structive armament.
The backbone of the Brazilian revolution
Is the navy commanded by Admiral Mollo.
With possibly three exceptions , Brazilian
men-of-war nro maimed by supporters of
Admiral Mcllo. The loyal ships are use
less at the present mdmont.ono being block
aded by a portion of Mollo's IIcot in ports
south of Hio , and two In Kurope. So far
accounts agree that Mcllo has boon unable
to effect a iandhnr at or near Hio. and has
settled down to a spasmodic bombardment/
of the city. The land forces remain loyal to
President Polxoto. Tlio suiecss of the revo
lutionists depends on effecting a lundlngiwlth
Bullieiont force to capture the city , for in
that event it Is i-Uimcd Mollo would obtain
u formidable following and overturn the
government. President Pclxoto , on the
other hand , controls the ports and land
forces , but hitherto has been unable to cope
with the navy. This ho hopes to do with
the Hoot collected abroad , and no moans
have been spared to secure the best arma
ment as well as the bravest and most experi
enced ofllcers null seamen.

The coming battle Is expected to dcclilo
