King and Queen of Servia.

. o The restoration of peace in, the Obrtuo vitch family continues to occupy tho atten tion of liurops. Everybody is anxoua t know what tho reconciliation of tlio Kiu, atd Queen of Servia portends. For on ihiug, it seems that they will return t Belgrade, fur, at the request of Milan, th fServian Legislature ia to rescind the law c expulsion passed a;.r>:iust the Queen. Whsi will happen when their Majesties return t Belgrade ? W ill it h<;ip the young inouarc or otherwise ? Endless stories are afloat a to what has happened and what may. I seems clear enough that King Milan mad tho iirst overtures for reconciliation He hw got Through all tho money which he carriei nwiiy from Belgrade, arid had so himsfclf in Paris that every door was shu upon him. Tho Queen's private fortun whs, no doubt, in bi-< c-ye, for ouo must liv toniehovv. As to th'; Queen, her conduct i less explicable. Bte o-;u have little love fo a worthless xeprobato like Milan. Cho ie however, ardently attached to her son, am she may want to ne-ir him. There are howevor, reports to the effect that Russi; has been intervening— ibat tha Czar havinj at last become convinced of thehopelessnes of the Moutuncgriu princo us an " ally," ha thought it prudent to conciliate Set via.. J; iniy work of this N.»t the pre.-tnea of Queei 3>iitalie at Belgrade would be of prime iin portunco—she is thoroughly Bussi-in ii sympathy. If those reports have anythirj in them we should aoou have evidence o what is in the air. And it is certainl; notable that tho Greek Crutch, asrepre sented by the metropolitan at Servia, ha shown itself veiy complaisant towards thi reconciled couple The Queen has neve: recognised tho decree of divorce obtainec agairjßt her by her husband. She cons& queutly declices to permit any forma reciesion of the same. So it comes aboi/ that tho Servian metropolitan finda it easj to say that as tho marriage has never bcc-i legally dissolved there is no need for th< church to take nctiou. Pretty, is it not ?— London correspondent.
