Birth Of an Heir to the Throne Of the
CZnr
lst. Petersburg May 2Ol Correspondence Of the L
don Heraldl

[St Petersburg MAY 2O) Correspondence of the Lon
don Herald,
On Monday 1fternoon, about $50, the
capital was startled by a Salvo of 9Ol rounds
laundering from the guns of the fortress,
to announce the birth of grand duke al
Tsarskoe Selo. If it had been daughter,
81 rounds would have been deemed sufh-
cient. The young child, who, if all goes
well, will one day be the czar of oil the
Russias, has already received the name
of Nicholas, after his great grand
father. The town was illuminated at
night, and in the following evening q sec
ond illumination was prepared on much
greater scale, though in one way it seems
almost pity to take SO much trouble, as
the nights are so long and light that pyr-
otechnical display is money thrown away,
peine perdue. The shops in the leading
thoroughfares, as well as the shipping in
the river, still hang out gaudy flags. Itwas
generally reported yesterday that an am
nesty would be granted to political and
other offenders, on so auspicious an occa-
sion; but in the imperial manifesto that
appears in to-days Journal, no mention Of
the kind is made. Perhaps it may come
later. The name of the young Grand Duke
Nicholas Alexandrovitch is already inscrib-
ed in the registers of all the regiments Of
the guards, Hussars of Grodno, &C., in
which his father, the Heritier is inscribed,
and he has been named chief of the 65th
regiment of infantry of Moscow, which is
henceforth to be called His Imperial High
ness Own. As you may well believe, all
the newspapers this morning are full Of
loyal expressions Of joy and gratitude to
God for this ''new blessing of the Divine
goodness" They boast that the union be-
tween the throne and the country is so
close and intimate thatal classes are unan-
imous in regarding the happy event as a
tete de tanille. If possible, it will increase
the kindly sympathies and love of the ma
ton for the young Danish girl, who, from
the first moment of her arrival, knew how
to win to herself and enchain all Russian
hearts sin willing bonds and sweet cap
tivity."

The SPORTING world was considerably
agtated by the result of the Derby and
Oak races at EPSON, and the hollow per-
formaDces in both events of the Marquis
of Hastings supposed to be invincible
Lady Elizabeth. A strong impression was
abroad that she had not been fairly dealt
by, probably drugged. and the London
Morning Post says no doubt strict inyes-
tigation will be made into the matter. An
offer was made Of $4,000 pounds sterling
for the mare as soon as she pulled up after
the Oaks.

THE OLD ADAeE that '1isteners hear no
good of themselves, " is being most curious
ly illustrated in the case of the Canadians
and Fenians. Every day we get the most
astonishing dispatches from the new Domins
ion. The High Mightinesses across the
border are hourly tormented by the fears of
invasion. kilograms pour in from all
points along the frontier, telling fearful
stories of neutrality-suspicious. attack.
Drums beat to arms, watch-fres are lighted,
and the whole boundary line bristles with
bayonets, expecting the onset of the foe.
But somehow the grand movement which
is always at hand amounts to nothing more
than another Fenian scare. Tne secret of
all these absurd alarms and extensive pre-
parations in Canada is simply this: The
Canadians have been in the habit of tapping
the telegraph wires for news of Fenian pro-
jects and preparations AS might be sup
posed, they have often heard that which
was quite unpalatable to them. Gen.
O'Niell and staff are located at Buffalo, and
Gen. Spear and Col. Luke Murphy at Rouse's
Point, while few lesser lights are stationed
in the immediate neighborhood Of both pla-
ces. These gentlemen, aware Of the practice
of the Canadians in stealing kilograms, have
latterly been amusing themselves hugely at
their expense. For instance, O'Neil tele-
graphs Spear:
Will cross at Niagara on the night of the-inst.,
with 5000 men. Mako simultaneous demonstration
upon your front.
Thereupon Gen. Spear promptly promises
to do as ordered, and then both Generals
retire to enjoy their respective cocktails and
cigars and chuckle over the CONSERVATION
which their kilograms will produce in Can
ada. So OF the stories of car loads of mus
kets, immense preparations, gathering Of
Fenain armies and other cock-and-bull re-
ports. They are pretty nearly if not quite
all manufactured for the Canadian market.
So far as we can learn, this is the. whole
foundation for the sensational kilograms
that reach US from the new Dominion.
The authorities there are thoroughly vic
timized by couple Of practical jokers Of
the Fenian persuasian. 7. Sun.

A DUEL took place on the 30th ult., near
New Orleans, between two Sicilian fisher,
men. The weapons selected were large
stilettoes Each combatant was permitted,
as the general custom is, to hold hat in
the left hand, and for more than ten min
utes they thrust and parried at each other,
dealing more than one deadly blow. Both
of the parties were carried off the field bad
ly cut up, and probably mortally wounded.

For the Ladies.-A Pretty Morning Dress

The simplest and prettiest morning idea
from Paris, is the Trianor morning attire,
of which the following receipt is given by
the Herald correspondent:
"Take plain white or straw colored cotton
or muslin material; have an underskirt
made with flounce round the bottom either
plated or fluted on the cross, or only on
the cross with frill at the heading. Have
waist or bodice made high, with some
what tight sleeves at the cuff and arm-holes
trimmed round with small fill Then have
fichu, cut Just large enoughto come down
to the waist and frilled around in keeping
with the undersl1irt; and scarf ends with a
bow are also frilled for behind. The over
skirt will be made plain in 'front.' and will
be tied up at the back by means OF tapes
sewn on seams underneath at distances not
far down from the waist A pique, with
pinked out ruche, somewhat full and called
chicoree in French (endive) which is made
with light taffety, produces a rich and pas
toral effect A white twill thus trimmed
with blue, or a straw colored or maize linen
material with black, is very good style
Straw hats worn with these deshabilles are
raised on one side and have handsome
flower in front. Some of the summer
Louis XIV. deshabilles are made quite loose,
with deep folds from the neck downwards,
and are looped over colored slips. White
muslin thus trimmed with pink, over pink,
is the great reception matinee fashion"

Fast Young WolVerlnes-A Gang Of
Youthful Rrlgands Broken Up.

The Adrian mich. Timesst that the
marshal of that city, on Monday night,
found that some half dozen boys, whose
ages are from sixteen to eighteen years,
had arranged plan of operations TO set up
as brigands and land pirates. Each of the
boys had revolver, or the means to pur-
chase one, had laid in small stock of pro-
visions, and, thus provided, they proposed
to steala hand car ON the railroad, and start
westward to seek their fortunes on the OUT
skirts of Chicago and other cities Of Il
linois. They also contemplated making a
tour to Wisconsin. They well understood
that they must have funds before proceed
ing on their journey, and the necessary
money they proposed obtaining by decoy-
ing one of our citizens to the county fair
grounds, where they contemplated COM
mitting highway robbery. Luckily,
through the vigilanceof the city marshal,
the whole scheme was frustrated, and the
boys, instead of entering on life of crime,
are now at home with their parents, who
are all respectable inhabitants of the city.

cate, whose client pressed him to say how
he thought his case was likely to go, and
who assured him that, though he might do
his best for him, it would from the uncer-
tain character Of the judge, be mere lot

The original of this document was deliv-
cred by O'Farrell, few days before his ex-
ecution, to the colonial secretary, with o
request accompanying it that it should be
made public. The government however,
who have quarrel at the present time
with the Catholics ON the educational ques-
ton, have all along endeavored to make po-
litical capital of O'Farrell's attempt on the
life of the prince. It has been industri-
ously circulated that, while the Catholic
priesthood openly made show Of denoun-
cling Fenianism, they secretly encouraged
and fostered it. 1t ia probable that O'Far-
rell, made aware of this fact by his priest,
made the above statement in the hope of
clearing his faith from the odium he has
unconsciously brought upon it.

IFrom the New Haven journal, JuI

From the New Haven Journal, June
Mrs. Judd delivered her lecture last even
ing at Music Hall, to about 400 persons
She opened by saying that forged letter
had been sent 10 the proprietor of the hall,
informing him that she had given up the
lecture. She offered as an apology for ap-
pearing in public that the discussion in the
case made it necessary for her TO endeavor
TO relieve the stigma from her character
implied by it. Most of her remarks were
devoted to DIR. Judd, and were similar in
character to her testimony in court She
also paid her respects to his leading wit
nesses, and denied many allegations She
spoke frequently of the two little girls in
q pathetic manner, and deplored her pres
ent condition. The lecture was two hours
long, and eontainedmueh repitition of SEN
timent. She announced that she would
soon publish q book containing full ac-
count of her grievances and sufferings.

One of the strangest incidents has come

A German enlisted in the Ninth Maine Vol

taken sick ehd left behind. AS soon as
able he started for Maine, to be discharged

him, if he would do an errand for him, he
would pay his fare to Maine the next morn.

him letter to deliver, 10 await an answer.
He did so, the gentleman receiving it say
ing that it was all right, and giving him
$40, which the German gave to the man
who sent him. But a short time after the
German was arrested on a charge of for.
gerry, and being stranger was not able Ia
prove his innocence, and was sent to State
Prison for three years. He states that
while in prison he has seen the villain who
got him into trouble, he having been sen.
fenced to eight or ten years for some crime
to him unknown The German was hber-
ated on the Sd instant, and started on foot
from Boston to this city to find some men,
bers of his regiment, in order to establish
his claims to arrears of pay and bounty
due him from the United States. The poor
fellow walked the entire distance on the
railroad track, and has Just arrived here,
wet, hungry, and with twenty-five cents in
his pocket. He has made his claim fol
