Young Man to Marry.

Inc heir apparent of Russia, the future
Of square miles-an empire comprising one
seventh OF the territorial part of the globe and
about one twenty. sixth part of its entire sur
1ace-ls IN want OF wife and cannot find one.
ihis astounding piece of news is going the
round of the continental papers. Grand Duks
Nicholas, heir apparent of all the Russi az, 81
years old, tai, good looking, in splendid uni
form, speaking five languages, and with all the
accomplishments, is willing to wed, vet cannot
get wife. 1t is said that Grand Duke Nicho-
las has onlyhve royal princesses offered for his
selection; and that, unfortunately, Of these five
high born ladies, he does not like lthrss, and
his imperial father does not like the other two,
SO that, IN point OF fact, the heir expectant Of
one-seventh OF the earthscan get no wife at all.
Poor Nicholas. There was a time when the
Gar and his family were allowed to pick their
partners from among the whole flora of fari
princesses. 1t is said of Peter the Great-that
when he wanted spouse for his son Alexis he
circulated round robin among the fl We score
Of reigning families in Germany, bidding them
to send all their marrageable daughters de-
Quoting the plain ones to Moscow for inspec-
ton. The invitation was responded to by a
crowd Of fair and illustrious damsels, and the
falrest hover from among them was picked for
the drunken and dissolute heir-apparent.
subsequently the business was conducted
mainly by advertisement. A hint given in one of
the Hamburg papers thus considered the organs
OF tne Russian Government, generally brought
lot Of portraits to the Imperial courts, from
the inspection OF which resulted further ne
gotiations. Princess Clara, OF Hohenhausen.
OnneDrCd, Delng neld the most eligible OF the
matrimonial candidates, was then invited, to-
gether with some Ohnebrod aunt, to spend q
couple Of weeks at the Imperial Court where
she was to be kept if finally approved OF, or il
not returned to her loving parents at the grim
castle OF HoIennausen. The Congress Of Viz
emma, when by the sweeping away of nearly a
hundred crowned heads from the field Of roy
atty had the effect of greatly lessening the
charmed circle within which the CZars were
wont to rove, and Gar Nicholas when not yet
eir-apparent, had to pay assiduous courtship
to win the hand of the King of Prussia's g daugh-
ter, and his three younger sons experienced
actual difficulty to get q bride. The young
ladies Of .good family" finding that they were
eagerly sought after, and that, in fact, the de-
mand was far greater than the supply. refused
to 60 to Russia. They objected to the country
as too cold; and to the rulers as being given TO
to the ugly habit of beating their wives, royal
ty Notwithstanding. Thus the circle narrowed
more and more around the Czars proud fami-
ly, until 1t has now become the humiiiating
necessity to declare that the heir apparent OF
Russia cannot find q wife at all. It is the
greatest victory the ladies have achieved in the
nineteenth century.-London Globe.

A NEW YORK SENsATIoN-On Monday last
the various steamboat offices Of the lines from
Boston to New York were profoundly excited
1t was announced that a plot had been dis
covered for the destruction Of the steamers
running on the Sound. Three rebel emissaries,
1t was stated, were recently sent north to as
certain the best point and time at which to
Since then all has been hustle and alarm. The
gunboat lying at New London got up steam on
Monday night and ran out into the Sound, with
orders to warn all boats against paying atten-
tion to any signals whatever. Monday being a
stormy night, the boats were all detained on the
Sound, and great fear conseq uently fell upon
all concerned. Four revenue steamers, it is
known, have been ordered to look after the
Electric Spark, and 1t is hoped though by NO
means believed, that the danger is over. 1t is
a fact that the Tallahassee came into Newport
harbor about three weeks ago, looked at things
In general, quietly steamed around the Guer-
rierre, then lying there, steamed out again, un-
challenged. AS the Electric Sparks the prize
and consort OF the Tallahassee, the present
scare probably grew ont OF this circumstance.
