rb'Ctioii to the throne by the Norwe
' 'liarlcs ( f Deiiinark. the second son oi
tin.' present ruler of Denmark. !(
was educated for the navy ami was
know as one of the most popular and
d- liiocrnt'c members c.r the royal fam
ilies of Kurop... In IS'u; he was mar
ried !o Piinciss Maude, third daiigh
!er of Kitg lidwar.l VI I of Croat Brit
.-i.i. There was considerable oniiosi-
lion to the marriage, as Maud was the
li-u:i.t"- of rhe rut II re King cif Kng
laud and Charles was only a Danish
piince. At that time no one dreamed
of ih" hi Pliant future in store for
Prince Ch.ubs. After the mania.-:"
Pi irro Charles was well received i.j
ICngland. His faiher in law becam
proud o fhm and often emploved bi n
in delicate and important mission--.
When Norway severed her connection
with Sweden and decided to have a
king of her own the name of Prince
Cliarb-s was the only urn- seriously
considered in connection with the
throne. In pn.:, pnnee Charles and
Princess Maud were crowned ;
Trondhjem under the titles of Ki:
liaakfii H. and tmeen Maud. The
ic-y a I couple have on,, child, litt
Prince oiat. now in his sixth vear.
Some 10 journalises in Jiomlon have planned to
found a newspaper Hint shall tell the whole truth, am
publish every day with full particulars the great and
siimll scandals of the courts, of parliament, of the
markets, of famous families. Naturally, this journal
of snvairess cannot 1 print ml with the sanction of Un
laws, which on rare occasions permit the publication
of the truth, hut which nlwuys and explicitly prohibit
the publication ofvthe whofio truth; therefore it is to
lie printed at some place it is not known where
on the coast of iSelgiuiii or France, whence it will be
dispatched under cover by the first mail to London
, , every morning.
As it is printed in English, the unknown men who are projecting ii
nre already aunt ing themselves as publishing it for moral purposes, he
cii'ise. e.jHe;::!iv ill Knglaml, the banner of morals is the only one under
whiih an immoral tr.-iHic can he concealed.

peril oi a ;nir ami printing me wnoie mini niotu any ana all tilings,
there is no l etter way than lo imagine what the streets, the houses, tin

-111r eood reputation, that is to sav.-the possibility of deceising you-iiciglil-or
about your own shortcomings.
For a m.-in ho does not scant to wear clothe or who desires to pro
i l.iiid aloud nil that he believes to be the truth, there is no wax- except tA
go lo live on a desert i.-lainl : and even there it i certain that this original
I i m would do much better not to tell himself those total truths which oth

Truth is a medicine: a medicine so dangerous that the honest news
paper tire those which administer it to (he public in small does and at
-v hour-: and the expert public knows this so well that every reader in or-d--r
io swallow this tiny dose every morning and every evening has it prc-pat-'-d
for him by "his newspaper," and not by any other, in the wnv that
s mo-! -'iiicd lo his habits, to bis health anH his opinions. The sntue

an .iiioii nii-iis letter. The honest public is forewarned and will leave
the truth to beasts, to savages and to madmen, while it continues to live
