iiiesdkn, Saxony, Jim. 28. A nociul

cinulinf' inU'rt'Ht, litift jii como to a
cliimix liprc. Tho tongue of Drvsilcn,

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.

Taylor nnd Millard l'illmoi-o were the
Whig candidates lor President and
Vice President, and foolishly elected,
llaibort Toombs and Alexander II.
Stephens, both of Georgia, were tho
leader of the then ruling party. 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. What the rwiiltjva", wo all
know. ' " -i-
The tulontod editor of the New York
Sun, Charles A. Dana, wont to school
to Toombs nnd Stephens, and what ho
any about hi old teachers can be re
lied on. The editor in question, in his
issue of February 23d, thus alludes to
tho period of President Taylor's death.
What Mr. Dana relates i itif intuition
obtained inside of tho circle which
swayed tho union In 1W8-60. Ho re
marks ns follow:
"Two incidents have recently brought
the name of these person again to
the public mind. The first is a jHo le
te in tho State of Gcorgin, with a be
quest of a duelling pistol by the suicide
to bia Into friend, Mr. Toombs, that ho
might use it on his own person. This
remind us of the day when, trench
ant nnd quarrelsome ho always pru
dently baited before reaching the ten
pace and tho hair trigger,
The next is the rcxirt of a corres
pondent of the Springfield Hepubliem,
that In tbo festal interregnum of Con
gress, Mr. Stephen paid hi devoirs to
tho White llouse, waa met on the
ground floor hy the incumbent, nnd in
Iho interchange of courteous compli
ments, approved of tho wholo course
of the President's policy toward Louisi
ana. No one who has studied his
character and obsorved hi progros
will be surprised ut this. Hi whole
mental organization is a compound of
contradiction, nnd only those who
hnvo watched hi idiosyncrasies, read
hi essays, nnd listen to his long mon
ologues can measure and appreciate his
fidelity lo.his party, or his weight as a
mimic statesman.
The name of these two men air as
conjunctive and inseparable as Saul
and Jonathan in sncroil wnt. or Oivstes
and Pylnde of classic annuls. 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.
The positive strifo which calminatcd
in tho wasto nnd bloodshed of our war
waa first developed nntler tho brief
t'resitlency ot Gen. Taylor. Provincial
in Influence nnd reputation until then,
with bis election, Toombs and Stephen
stopped to the front mid became a
national power. In tho selection ofl
his Cabinet they had supremo control.
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. Tho Galphin fraud was n
lingo one at that time, but it would be
considered a baby nt this day not
large enough for tho Washington city
family ring.

Neither C'orneillo, tho great French

In winch it appeared thnl nne-thirtl of

Wo regard the following, from tho

that while there is no doubt us to the

ia very important also not to overlook

The contrast between two region

TRUE IN PASTURES.
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.

Continuous rows of stately trees
along tho roadside add much to the an

it is ur.red that shaded roads remain
wet and muddy much longer alter

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

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

Nothing iu tbo annuls of our coun
try can equal tho generosity with
which tho American peoplo have treat
ed the original owners of the soil. 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. More than
all this, wo hnvo sent a clan of men to
deal wilh Ihem with whom, in vigor
and dnsh and grip for currency, the
bounty jumpers of tho Into war bear
no comparison.
Ho complninstbat there is not enough
of him, and that he cannot repeat a
he wonld. A noble Sioux, for instance
whoso share of the appropriation, bo
fore it goes through tho usual sweat
ing process, is about sufficient to Blip
port a small family, and finds that
when tho bounty which this great and
glorious government gives him for be
ing red in color, and handy with hair
and wearing only one garment, reachee
him, it will handy buy a drink of the
commonest whisky. So he move away
and organize another tribe. Tho De
partment of tho Interior hears ol hi
dissatisfaction and forthwith nend
: amount was voted. Parties were sent
out from tho Depuitinent to find this.
Teton Sioux nnd present him, on be
hnirof the government, with (500,000,
less mili-age and expenses of the com
mission. The expedition failed. Tho
.Teton Sioux, who was 11,200, had gono
away and the committee, which com
prised somo of tho best talent in the
Department, could not find him. They
found anothor one. however, who wo
reasonably sober, and was only about
ti,000 Teton Sioux. They camo bacK,
and made nn appropriation of (200,000
(0 him, and sent it to him through the
usual channels. Nothing ha since
Itocn heard of him, but it ia aupoeod
that ho got tired, as well of being so
many as of waiting so long, and suffer
ed adsorption into some tribo, or per
haps a sea-clmne into something rich
nnd strange. Nothing so kir.dlus Ithe
ciilhiisinsniof tho Interior Department
: as the knowledgo that a Teton Sioux
is w andering through Montana or Da
kota in a atutu of savage unrest. Im
mediately a committee from tho De
partment goe to tho Teton, finds him
nomadic and discontented, says to bint
"How many art thou, O Teton?" and
