Another Theory.

The Hungarian poet. Mauricj Jokai, who was an intimate friend and companion of the late Prince Rudolph, says the London Globe, has just made a contribution to the solution of what is still the mysterious tragedy of Meyorllng. The poet’s theory is that the Crown Prince, seeing public opinion going against what ho conceived to be his mission, deliberately sacrificed himself to the peuce of the world. In support of this idea he cites iwo scraps of conversation, in one of which Prince Rudolph, referring to the floating rumors about.his relation, said: "I love my family beyond everything, and tell those who say the opposite that they do not say the truth.” The other was: Ah' How I would like to die oa a fldld of battle. Wan ts inevitable, and therefore, would that it would come quickly! The longer it is delayed the worse it will be. Either we will conquer or we will fall with glory.” This settles the question jrt the mind of the | poet, but we fear the unpoetic world L wijjl require more definite evidence.-
