Queen Draga's Disappointment.

At one time It seemed possible that tie disappointment of Queen Drags might) entail sedons. consequences which woaid ab least ruffle the surface of .European peace. The Obrenovlteh Dynasty haa been singularly unfortunate In its naatri* monial adventures, .The marriage of tht boy king with a lady In waiting, touch hit senior, created amazement, which ?at only partially allayed by the assurance that the marriage was fleceeeary to Icgitimafiee the expected offspring* Last) month:however, when the stork of the popular mythology of Teutonic land* should have appeared bearing the little stranger, consternation reigned in the palace. Some fifty silver cradles had been sent in as gifts in expectation of the appearance of at least one infant, who would have boon from Ma birth sub ject to considerable embarrassment In the choice of his sleeping place; bub instead of the baby came a doctor's bulletin to the effect that there was ho prospect) of an heir to the throne, and (here was only a remote possibility that Queen Draga might as some future time present the.Kirg with a child. It) ii eat^y to imagine the consternation that reigned at T?elgrade, and not at Belgrade a'oiie. The young King, although dis* traotod at firsb, appears to have put the bsa'face upon his disappointment, while Queen Draga is in despair It is very bsd f r her no doubt, and the K^rageorgevltch party caii be relied opdn to make the worst <f what ihey would call this marriage obtained by false pretences.
