Porter Sues the Empress.

The Gorman Empress recently lost her Insignia of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, a valuable jewel surrounded with brilliants. A porter found the bauble and claimed the reward as provided by the laws of Prussia, which give the finder of an article one-tenth of tbe value of the property restored to its owner. Tbe Empress offered him 100 marks, but he refused, and as the Empress would not pay a tenth of what the Insignia was worth the porter has begun a legal action against the Empress’ cabinet.
