A nociul lfimuuco, with dotuil of tho most liis cinulinf' inU'rt'Ht, litift jii como to a cliimix liprc. Tho tongue of Drvsilcn, null thi'j' mo many mid hlillic, have tli title triiminL'ly. When you learn tint the hero in Alexis, third anil of th L r.ar, you will not bo aurpnaed tint the ncalandrr is detailed in many keA. ill tho winter ofl870 or 1871 it was niiulc known in the official gnuottea I luit tho Ciiiirhad frrnciounly coiwentod toderiro liilnnell ol hi yonniffnt and Iwal heloretl win, in onlcr that the young gentlemen might eompleto hia educulioii by foreign travel. - l'renently tlieivattor it was known of men that tho l'rineo was omlmrkctl on one of the imperial frigate bound tor America. It turns out that tlcsiro for knowledgo concerning the nations of tho earth was not tho moving cause of Alexis' online iiroiind the world, which brought him in coiirso of timo to America. litiHHian Princes aro rarely known to rick themselves on long voyage at sea, particularly in tho style in which Alexis journeyed. Counties cnttae were as signed hy tho diplomatic world, hut until lately the real cau so was but cautiously hinted. At the ago of nineteen tho young prince met the daughter, of one of his neighbors, A wealthy baron, llo was chnrmcd with her manuora and penton, and forgetting tho law of tho empire denying the marriage of prince of the blood with subjoctH, ho liermitled hi in stil to fall in lovo with her. lie wooed and won tho girl, much in the samo way we all do, I suppose. No notico wa taken of the matter by tho Ciar or family, as it wa merely regarded as a flirtation, in which nothing mora serious oould happen than the destruc tion of mademoiselle. That, howover, Is the common fortune of tho mortitl favored by princely lovo, and so no impcmlimunt were put in tho young man's way. Presently, howover, tho court was brought to it feot with shock. Tho lad confided to a friend the fact that ho loved the girl ; that the girl loved him, anil that to possess such a secret and withhold it from tho C'r.ur constitute treason in tlioonlii'lit- cned cmuiro of till the Russians. Of course, tho friend made a clean breast to tho int)H!rial parent. Alexis wa summoned by the Ciar and sternly ordered to dismi the girl from his mind. sir.AiitAsr i.ov. llo protested his overwhelming lovo. J The Czar only frowned. Ho mightl love hia heart to ashen, but he should not marry. If tho girl loved him sho would consent to share hia heart mor ganntically, but as to his name and heritage, tho law of the empire forbade it. A proper ninto for his slate wa even now being bunted up in a neigh boring kingdom. Tun. was all that the lather had to say to the unhappy lover. If be could prevail on his be loved to accept him out ot wedlock, tho imperial court hadn't tho slightest objoction, but a a wile, never. This wa made known to the girl hy a per sonage of the imperial household, aud indignantly rejoctod. Alexia, howover, it in said, nover broached such a thing to tho lady, realising from bar noble char acter that she would never consent to dugrade herself, oven for her best beloved. Then came s season of pin ing. Alexia moped and fell away in flesh, and did nil manner of things dis cointiirtiug to tho imperial old folk tho Czar and ('carina. To divert hi mind from bia disappointment tho cruiao around tho world wits linully determined upon, and tha do tuil of tho voyage uoro planned with lavish magnificence, Kvon at the last moment the parent's heart repented tbo measure, and Alexis was inlormcd that hy pledging himself to the prin ces selected iiir him, he could remain nt home. Timo, however, had made no change in the lad, and the ao-csllod boyish passiou burned a Mcadiby as ever. , On arriving in New York ho w a well-in health, and did not look liko a person likely to suffer keenly under the cankering of cruel thought, lie wa sometime pensive, but that wa gcnoritlly ascribed to longing for homo and friends, natural to a i'ad of his year. However impassive in outward show, the prince wo i'aithfhl to hi love, llo wrote her regularly dnring bis journey, not withstanding the pnr- enttti interdict and tho watchfulness of bis- governor. At least once a week, missive under cover to a friend in 1'aria wore sent by the prince until his arrival in Cuba, when by some unlucky change bi intrigue was discovered, and tho correspondence for a time, tit least, chocked. Like Lord liovel, he wa gone from ber father's gate a year and a day, when hi vuaael dropped anchor at Cninatant. llo wnswntched closely on arriving home, hut for all thai nee in to havo found an opor ttinity to see hi sweet brat rt, A mar riage contract wa ready for him to sign when bo arrived, but lie pleaded delay, and anocecded in gaining six months' respite. During these six month 1h mnrae of true love ran In grooves, and the two young folk be came still more tenderly nnd devotedly attached. The nlaU wedding, howover, came up again a near probability. The prince net out for I'nria to stave off the event, nfl finally, ttnmng there waa nothing to be hoped from delay, ho enl word for the lady to bo rcniiy nt certain time for tho ceremony which would give blm a wife and lose him possiMo crown. MASHIKtl TO Til OIRL OP HIS CllOICr. Coming back to St. lMcrsburg, the father roUitel Alexia to prepare lor the betrothal ceremony. Ale declared himself willing to abdicate such right a no hcltl under the) empire, but de manded Uie liberty which the poorest CLEARFIELD, Russian 1ms, of marrying ttio girl of 111 Choice UIBl IB 11 IIIO gill In n tiling. The Kmperor dismissed him in dis grace, nnd expecting severe discipline, tho I'rince went straightway to tnko advuntago of what might bo his only opportunity, llo planned hiscampaign discreetly, and in a week wo married to tho girl of hia heart in tbo iiidisHnlu ble formula of the Greek Church. Tho ceremony ended, ho took train Incog nito with his wife, and nt the frontier out cards to' his family. The Ciar instantly sent couriers after him, or dering hi in to return, but on foreign territory the Prince is his 6Vn master, and cannot he compelled to return, aa in the good old timo, when if one King didn't Tielp another Ito hail to tight. During tho autumn und curly winter the Duke ha been touring with hi wife, bringing up flnnlly in Dresden, where, wilhiu a week, they have taken a modest villa on liorg Slrasso and gono to housekeeping in a charmingly, simple way. Dresden aristocracy wa in ft fever ovor the arrival, when it was known that the tirand Duke was really hero a fact first mndo known by the pres ence of fifty trunk belonging to tho l'rinocBauttucllotel Bellevuo. Official Dresden held aloof. It must first bo seen what the King would do and say. The King of Saxony is n particular person. Ko tar as power goes lie ia not great. Saxony bus perhaps three million of people, but wbut tho king dom lack in tho prestigo of power it make up in tho stiffness, exclusivencs, and prodigious punctilio ol the court. A lefl-hitndud recognition wa filially accorded tho runaway. Tho Grand Chamberlain called on thoGrnnd Duke. There was nothing said about the (irand Dticho, mind you. Alexis re fused to bo seen on such terms. Ho had sent his curds to the King, as is tho custom of prince arriving in the dominion of friendly potentates, and tho Gland Cbuniborlaiii should have brought cards from the Queen as well as tho King. A truce was patched up by tbo King calling in person, the young people capturing him hy their youth and good looks. TIIKIR MARHIKDLIPK. Jleau time tho young people enjoy burgher life very evidently. They ride about and walk about when tho weath er permits, antl look a hnppy as tho fabled threes. The cares of the house hold don't seem to troublo Mr. Alexis. Sho come out in charming Parisian costume daily, her golden hair hang ing over her shoulders in girlish care lessness. With light blue eye and creamy complexion, she looks hardly seventeen, and is only nineteen, while the prince is twenty-four. Tbe Russian Court has been doing everything to drive the young man home, whoro the proper machinery mny bo aot in mo tion to annul the marriago. Request have been made on all foreign Govern ment to refuse tho Grand Duko official recognition while under tbo ban of the Ciar. There ia an almost insuperable difficulty, however, in tho wny to an annulment of the marriage, aa the Greek church allows no divorce. Il is supposed that the Ciar, a the head of tho church, will take tho responsibility of declaring tho rite void, if he can bring hia ion to consent, but oven this power is held in debate by those who understand the relation of the Church to tho Stato in Russia. Tbe family of Mr. Alexis are ci" ormously rich, and if yeanlings for place do not come to tho young mnn, ho need have no misgiving lor the future. His fiither-iii-lnw gives tho bride a colossal dowry, nnd so tar na money goe tho mutch might rejoico tho most worldly of parents. Even in tho event of a reconciliation, the wifo cannot bo received according to her hiisbnnd' ran: nt tho imperial court, an obstaclo which woultf bo apt to kec,, tho couplo in seclusion, miles they can mako up their minds to the annoyances which tho Mnrqui of Lornc'a mnrringo has brought upon him. All thing considered, as the thing stands, the Grand Duko, even without a formal reception Into tho imperial family, hit, as chessmen say, the best of the board. MES WE VO.TT MEET.

The agitation of the Slavery question nnd the Know Nothing crusade drovo both these leader into tho Democratic purty in 1855, and resulted in wiping out the Whigpnrty n a political organ ization, and tnc formation of the Re publican party, by a combination ofj tho Abolitionists and tho Kreo Soil Democrat, which Combination soon after deluged our 'country m a civil war.

Filling a small space in the chronicles of the rebellion, ns compared with other noted individuals, thev were the mainspring and impulse of the outbreak. It is truo that the contest between Freedom and Slavery was foreordained and Ine vitable ; but their offence was that they precipitated it upon tho present gene ration and anticipated an ordination of tho I rovulence ol God which might have lingered for decade.

There waa not a man indicated who did not receive their npprornl ; and when, hy a fivsh enact niunt of Con gress, a new department waa created ami an additional counsellor needed, their messmate and personal friend, Jndgo Collamer, of Vermont, to tho astonishment of everybody, and no less of himself, was appointed to it solely hy their influence. Vntil the manufacture of Cabinets was modcrniietl to perfection by our present Illustrious ruler, there Wns never a more heterogeneous incongru ity asaombled nroundtho long council table of tho Executive Chamber than this Cabinet of Gen. Taylor. They were all able men in their way. They were of seven-cubit stutnroasoompnred with the dwarfish growth of the reign of Grant. They were high in position at bar nnd in' (brum, lofty in private worth ; but not one of them possessed tho gift of administration or the tact of government. Wo will not detail what wo know of the Interior folly of counsel and tho stumbling of the blind leading the blind. As the Duko of Wellington suid when urged to write the secret history of the Peninsula war "If I should tell Iho truth, they would tear me in piece." ' There was one appointment nro-cm- inently their own. Tho Secretary of; i nr, titiy. i row lord or tionrgia, the most conspicuous in failure, was only placed there to bo a treadle to the pulley which they intended to work. Before the slavery question loomed up in Its murky cloud with tho disposition of territory acquired from Mexico, a bill was piloted through directing the adjustment of an old war claim, which was sponsored nnd baptized as the Galphiu i luim. I'nlinppily the t hief beneficiary was the Secretary of War. It was, perhaps, a just debt of the Government, but thousands equal in equity hnvo lain iir the meatim of spiders' webs lorn ccnlurv. It was audited nnd paid, and the Administra tion hail a blow in public contidoucc from which it never recovered. Tho morning cloud ul Galphinlsm docpened into a darker shading. J lis emotions in both wings of tbe Capitol over the now territories followed tbe exasperated contest for tho Speaker ship, in which Toombs and Stephens were angry becniiso tho President could not be made a propagandist of slavery ; nnd lie whom they had hither to ruled they resolved to ruin. , With but a small majority in Congress, after an embittered contest, an extreme Southern partisan, i Mr, Cohh, of Georgia, wa elected speaker ; ami theu caino tho territorial bills with all of the gall and bitterness of invective aud de nunciation. Tho light of sovereignty over a region of siigu brush and sand a between tho Stato of Texas and the national territory of New Moxk'o, was tho objective point of attack. Major Slaughter, with detachment of Texan Hangers, was about to march to tho disputed domain, snd tho Government troops woro ordered to maintain the! rights of tho United States. Pending all this tho Fourth of July ws celebrated at Washington at the foot of tho incompleted monument to tho Father of his Country. ., Senator Koote of Mississippi was tho orator. Tho President waa uuust. Tho dav is still romomberod (or tho intensity of the host- J ew constitutions could stand tho exposure, and with the three years' oration of the discirsive Missis sippinn, human nature yielded to the infliction. Imprudent diet at twilight wa tho last strain uixin the vieor of a tailing syatoni. A violent attack of disease followed, and from that hour the step of the destroyer advanced with a sure and steady beat. REPUBLICAN. Meanwhile the cnbal of Senato and House were in consultation. Tho de termination of tho President to resist tho claims of Texas wa avowed. A committee waa chosen to vorifv the truth of tho rumor. Who is so tit tor the mission a Messnt. Toombs and Stephen 1 They wore admitted to an interview when an exhausting disorder had lea little of lite. Tho dying chief tain, with an impassioned energy, de clared his purposo to head tho army himself, if armed . invasion moved upon the territory, They returned and mndo their report. "Did ho any that, Toombs ?" said one of tho audit ors, aflor ho had repeated hia expres sions. "Yea," replied Toombs; "and by ho means it." Threo days after a funeral cortege moved (rem tbe portals of tho Execu tive Mansion and another President passed ovor its threshold.'' Slavery was now supremo. During tho entire administration of Mr. Fillmore tho malign influence waa assured. Not even in tho succeeding term of Picrco and Buchanan did tho poisonous virus of slavery run through every vein and artery of circulation with a more un checked current; and these two men, the ono bold braggart in demonstra tion,' and tbo other stealthy, secret, und sinister, wrought faithfully in their work, until tho consummation of rebel lion shod desolation and mourning over tho land. Wo repent that of nil who embarked in this fell purpose ol overthrow and chaos, these two were tho most emi nent and unsurpassed; nnd now, look ing over tho blight and ruin of their labor, why can thoy not retire to their penitential cloister antl hold their plaoo?" .Notwithstanding tho long service in public lifo of these emtio Statesmen, their privato integrity is uniinpouehed to this day. They never boasted of their piety, nor did they- cngago in Credit Mobilier nor any of tho other1 fraudulent schemes in which the mod ern "Christinn Statesmen" have been engaged.

Ad dison, indeed, could talk charmingly to one or two friend, but he waa shy and absent before strangers. To use hia own happy metaphor, ho could draw bills tor a thousand pounds, too ho had not a guinea in bis pocket. Hume's writings were so superior to fits conversation, '.hat Jloraco vt alpolo used to say that ho understood nothing till he bad written upon it. Goldsmith was a blundering con vener, and showed hardly a spark of tho genius that blaze through his writing. Occasionally he blurted out a good thing, aa when he applied to Johnson a saying, in one ot I Miner plays. "There is no arguing with Johnson, lor when his pistol misses tire, he knock down hi adversary with the butt ond of it." Hut generally he "talked liko poor Poll," and when bo made an accidental hit, soon neutral ized it effects by saying something very loolish. . Neither C'orneillo, tho great French dramatist, nor Marimiiitel, tho novelist, were masters of the intellectual foils.

Wo regard the following, from tho New York Sun, as both seusible nud timely. Wo wish to say, however, that while there is no doubt us to the importance of planting shado trees, it ia very important also not to overlook the noeesriity of a well defined plan or system ono which will not caricature nature, und cause regret to the intelli gent observer: . Farmers hold various and widely di Moron t opinionda in regard to the valtio of shade tree upon tho fnnn.

The contrast between two region of country, tbonne with trees judicious ly distributed, and tho other without them, is sufficient in itself to make any mnn favor tho former.

A goodly number of shade tree about tho farm buildings add much to the general appearance of the place, as also to the comiort ol mnn aim nenst during tho hot dnvs of summer. But ninny make t bo mistake of planting too many largo growing trees near their dwellings, which In timo excludo both lii'lit ami air, nud cause the building. standing constantly in the shade, to becomo unhealthy. In cold climate deciduous tree should always be pre ferred to evergreens, when planted in positions likely to shade tho house, be cause it is only in hot weather that shade is desirable, and In winter all the light and solar beat to be obtained arc renuircd lor both comfort and health A n rule, we would say, keep all tree ot a larger growth at least ono hundred feet from a dwelling house, uaing the intervening spaco na a lawn, In which mny lie planted small growing tree and shrub.

It hu been frequently urged thnt trees in pastures encourage Inziiica in animals, for when such comfortable ro treata from tho hot sun in summer arc at bantl, they are likely to tarry too long nt these resting places. While it ia true that animal instinct may not bo any surer preventive against indiscre tion in the dumb brute than in man still we believe that in nil mminnnt digestion proceeds more regularly when tho animal is conifbrtably at rest, thnn when subjected t opposite conditions. Animals appear to bo disiKMcd to seek the cool shade of a tree when tho beat is oppressive, and it is cruel, to sny the least, to deprive them of this comfort. We have always noticed that animals having a oomtortable resting place dn ring the hottest part of tho tiny would feed later nt night aa well as commence earlier in the morning: consequently, we fail to see wherein shndo trees in a pasture nro detrimental to good health or tho fattening of animals, as is some- tunc assorted. 1 hero aro certainly two sides to this question, but the more Immune practice would be to provide shade, to nay nothing ot appearance. TRKtS ON TIIZ IIOAIISIIIK. Continuous rows of stately trees along tho roadside add much to the an penriince of a farm or country. Hut it is ur.red that shaded roads remain wet and muddy much longer alter heavy rains than those mny exposed to the sun. This is doubtless true, hut as an offset we limy claim thnt they are less liable to become dusty, and be tween the two evils there is not much choice. Deciduous trees only should be planted along roadsides In cold cli mates, because they afford shade dur ing the Hcnson when most needed if nt all. liondside trees may also interfere willi tho growth ol crops In the Held adjoining by shading as well a hy ab sorption ot moisture by their roots, lint a wo ran scarcely secure anything ol value without some loss, perhaps the pleasure derived front passing over a shady iidid during the hot weather in summer, n well ns the beautiful up peamnce of such highways, more than compensate flir the slight losses which they entiiil.

HERS A RI. , On November 23, It was rumored In Sion that a frightful accident had hap pened at a 'fuvr kilometres from the tireot St. Bernard. This rumor, un fortunately, seemed to he well founded. On November 19, at tho break of day, caravan composed of twelve ittlian workmen, returning to their country, left tho Bourg St. Pierre and tlio tavern ol Proa, where they Had passed tho night, and dospito tho foul weather and ditllcult statu at tho roads, attempted to cross the mountain pass or to reach the refuge, as circumstances might allow. J ho sky was dark nnd there wa violent snow -drift. On reaching the apot known as tho Mon tague St. Piurro, half-way between the starting point and tho place of Rcfugo, they were Joined by two monka, pro- btfiiirr-pccdod by the convent servant and large-sized dog, who, according to tbe rule ot tlto monastery, came to meet tho travelers. At this moment the drift of snow became intonso. Sudden ly a frozen water spout called ivrt in the lnnguago of the mountaineers, whirled through the uir, and whisking up the fresh la I leu snow, enveloped the travelers. The first column, composed of fivo Italian workmen, two monks, the servant nnd tho dog, disappeared under a shroud of snow several metres thick, without any avalanche having fallen from tho mountain ; the .seven others who were following were strick en down by tho sumo cause a short distance from tho first. A deadly silence followed. Suddenly tho seven last victim buried in tho now suc ceeded in emerging from the white surface They were anved, and they returned to their slarting place, after having made every endeavor to rescue their comrade from the grave in which they are probably at this moment of writing atill ulive. Ono ot theso men succeeded, by the force of instinct and tho energy ol despair, in breaking through tho ice ice piled above him. It was the monk Contnt from Scmbraueh- cr. Ho drugged his bleeding limb about a mile anil a half from tbe grave where he hail been hurried for several hours, und reached tho first hut culled tho "hospital," and situated close to the Vehin. It wa hero the young monk wns found the next morning nearly insensible, alter having been twenty -seven hours alone, without food or assistance of any kind, by his broth er monks ot the convent, who had como to look after tho victims of the necident. How did they become aware of tho catastrophe? The dog Turgo find succeeded in scratching through the snow nnd found hia wny buck to tho convent. At tbo sight of this noble animal, with hia bruised nud bleeding body, tho monks no longer had any doubt as to tho futc of their two breth crn, and started nt onco to seek for them. A flask of spirits applied to the mouth of the only survivor of this scene, which ia bore narrated from hia own description, restored him to life for a short space, for a few minute later ho was a corpse. His colleague and six other companions, buried bo neat h the veura, have not yet boon found.

Tho amount of money that has been paid for tho maintenance and support of each individual lndinn in the country would, if ciphered out and tabulated, astonish the effete monarchies. It has always been tho policy of the gov ernment to do tho handsome thing by tbo Indians. For years and year we havo watched their retreating forms with unmixed sadnes, have pursued them with our sympathies and our emigrant trains, and for tho sake of old associations in pail and partly for agricultural puiposca, havo occupied the lands they abandoned. Wo have made largo and Ircquent appropria tions for their benefit, and somo of tho most brilliant and acute statesmen of this or any period havo watched with constant interest the flow of money from the Treasury to the Red ilan, and have amassed handsome fortune by simply stunding by and seeing that everything went light. We havo mndo trentie with them as with independent nation, and at the same timo maintained them aa govern ment ward. We have sent them the agent and trader a example in the process of Christianization, furnished them with rifles and ammunition to keep the peace, and promoted content ment and quiet with whisky of the highest projectile force. We have tried various policies upon them in the determination to have them sailed, and occasionally, to show thero was nothing mean about us, have acnt them a Major General'a scalp.
