The Grand Duke in Washington.

The Russian Grand Duke Alexis, no" In
this country, was presented to the President
last Thursday. The sensation was not great.
A few hundred people assembled OUTSIDE Tue
White House Inside the house me mbers OF
the cabinet and their wives (elch one nav
ing but one wife however, and Secretary
Robson having none) were waiting tor the
coming of the Grand Duke. Gen Porter,
the Gen. Babcoque (as the San domingo
fellows call the aide-de-camp TO his excelIen-
CIV Gen. U. S. Grant) and Gen. Dent, OF the
President 5 private cabinet, and the ladies OF
the household were also present. Inc
Grand Duke came with the Russian Minis
ter, Mr.. Catacazy, and with some OF the
eminent Russilns who accompany the Grand
Duke to this country.
The Blue Parlor had been prepared for the
occasion, the large vase on the ottoman IN
the center of the room, and the gold stands
near the mantel, having been filed with h1r-
al ornaments. When the President and his
Cabinet entered. Mr. Catacazy stood on one
side of the Duke, and Admiral Poisset on the
other Mr. Catacazy at once presen5 the
Grand Duke to Gen. Grant, and they ad-
dressed each other in! English, making no
formal speeches, The President then intro
duced the members of his Cabinet. After
the members of the Grand Dukes suite had
been presented, and alter a few moments
conversation, sire President escorted the
Grand Duke to the Red ParlOr, and pre-
sented him and his suite first TO Mrs. Grant
and afterward to the other ladies. The
whole presentation was marked by demo-
cratic simplicity and a lack of formahtles.
After about fifteen minutes conversation
the company departed.

Marriage and Free I.OYe.

We print on the outside of this paper
partial reports Of two lectures, one by Mr.
Beecher, and the other by Mrs Woodruff
The two lectures were upon substantially
the same topic, love and marriage, although
it is apparent that the views Of the two
lecturers are as wide apart as the poles 1t
is pertinent also to note that both lecturers
favor woman suffrage, Mr. Beecher having
been a pronounced advocate of it before Ms
Woodruff was known to the public at all .
although this fact is only of importance to
those who are SO illogical or preiudced a. to
assert that, as Mrs. Woodruff iavors free
love well woman suffrage, there must
be some necessary connection between the
two Positions "a proposition about as logical
as would be the attempt to make the Re
publican party responsible for all Gen But
ler's political freaks.
1t Is hardly Necessary to combat Mrs.
Woodhull's views Of marriage and free love ;
indeed they would have no prominence or
consequence were it not that they have been
found as useful red rag to stir up the
fighting spirit of the anti-woman suffrage
masculine turkey. If. however, any one
needs an answer to her arguments and as
sertions or an antidote for the poison Of her
preaching, MIR. Bcecher's lecture furnishes
It. 1t seems quite impossible for this
preacher of the abolition of marriage to zee
that society has any interest in the family.
or that marriage may not, properly, be a.
much matter Of legal concern as the contro
of liquor-selliug, the education Of children
or the punishment of crime. 1t is tru.
enough, an abstract proposition, that low,
must be ree,-tLat is, that there can be d,
such thing as constrained or forced love
The law cannot make husbands and wive
love each other; nor can il prevent Mrs
Woodruff or Mr.. Tiiton, or any other mar
OF woman from loving as many of the OF
Posi.e sex as their capacity in that regard /
equal TO. The law does not undertake to Z,
so foolish thing that. Neither does tn
law, practically, compel Mrs. Woodruff [,
live with a husband she does Mt voluntaril,
remain with and it certainly puts no leg4
barrier in tie way Of any husband and viii
separating and remaining separate so long a
they may choose. The law does undertak

one wife and q woman but one husband a
the same time, and tlat adultery is a Grim

the interest of society. In this respect eZ
