**TREASURE OF THE GUELPHS."
Reported Overtures by King George.
Berlin: Extraordinary interest is being displayed both in Gorman and foreign art doalor ciroles in a valuable historical collection, known horo as the Troasure of the Guolphs," somewhat after tho fashion of the." Trossuro of tho Nibolunga." The owner, who in
olling, is the presont Duke of Cumberland, tho fathor of the ox reigning Duke of Brunswick, who is husband of the or-Kalsor's daughtor, Princoss Victoria Louise.
It will remembered that some time ago there wore long negotia. tions with tho Austrian Govern- mont concerning collections in the Austrian castle at Gmundou, whoro the aged Duke now lives. Thoao Austria refused to lot pass; out of the country. This time not the Austrian, but the Prus- nion, Governmont, is in question, In the museum at Hanover is a very fine collection of picturos, [including a magnificant Holboin. It is the portrait of the ancestor of the House of Cumberland, and is reported to bo worth many thousands, boing judged one of Holbein's bust.
It is obstinately bollovod, and constantly stated horo that be- hind the woalthy art dolor negotiating for this picture is the House of Windsor, ropresented by King Goorge in porBoil Memoir-readora will recall bow the father of the present Duke of [Cumberland, when in London in the forties, grumbled at Queon Victoria for wearing jowels which he called "My tiara," proving the uneottled ownership of many of the treasures when one branch of the Hanoverians left Germany for England.
Bosidos objects which have a | very real historio valuo for mom- bors of the British Royal Family, thero aro some Duror paintinge in this Hanoverian, and the foar that those may leave the country, too, is causing an agitation in nationally-minded circlues. It
is urged that Prussia should fol low Austria's good example, and close the frontiers to the would- bo oxporters of works of art that can never be replaced,
OTTER-SLIDES, Travellers' taloa toll of tho otter-slides of North America,) and how the otters delight in to- bogganing down snow-slopes, so that one will shoot down a slide twonty timos in Bucoession with
tho gusto of
a boy on a toboggan, Same- thing like a slide has been obsery- od sometimos by our English rivers, in the mud of steep banks, jaad in snow, and now and then, an anglor has soon an otter, surprised on the banktop, diving| and alipping silently down the bank to the wator. Even country folk may live all their lives by a river without seeing the ottora therein; whence the remark of ai country wench on viewing one! her brother had shot in thoir Kardon "Lor' to think of such wild beasts about hore. Now I Eshall be a-foarod to walk out!
