The Count Is luoi.ant.


lie visited all hrs friends yesterday ana tolu
them that everything ''all nghL'
Now, .ae Csunt has made his coup d'escf ana Is
perfectly happy but he has no need TO 20 aoout
Dragging.
But. you know, lie Is not married yet,
Ia all hts favorlte hannts OF the metropolis he
appeared yesterday morning with "How do d0,'
and sAll's right" and then "By-by;'' but Knowing
ones laughed and said, "Many slip between the
cup and The lip"
Bat Mss Carrie she didn't see the point of danger.
Well. maybe, after all, they VIII be married
Heaven knows, IL was not too much to expec. that
the poor GIL would be let alone, after all that she
had suffered, on her arrival IN this city. But a
small moraing paper discovered her Whereabouts In
"a surfeputious manner, and published the same.
Tie result was that the Count, Professor Tyler
Mrs. Lester and poor Miss Carrie had oil to leave
the st. Cloud Hotel yesterday morning and seek
privacy at the residence OF q friend in the city.
Professor Tyler was most indignant.
The Count was perfectly indifferent.
II ia said that sight at the Count ana Carrie as
they appeared side by side yesterday, was worth
| seeing.
| Tne poor girl believes him so and worships him
so and wonders at him SO that her two lovely eyes
are all in iame or love when the handsome young
Russian supports her on his arm ana talks smaI!

| That's wen. AIl's well you know that ends wen.
| question.
| 4 HERALD reporter yesterday visited the Rev.
| Nicholas Bjerrlng, the pastor ol the Greek Church
III this city, in order TO ascertain something about
4 the nuptials. He was astonishcd to ind tnat the
priest had as Yet heard nothing at all about the mat
ter from the interested partes and was indebted to
| the new YORK HERALD Of yesterday Tor his know
| ledge or the romance. But on reading the HERALD
he deemed 1t better to write ut once TO the Russian
Minister at Washington and inquire what course he
and Carrie presented themselves as candidates for
matrimony he should act according to the circum-
loquy took place between the priest and the re-
porter
You certainly would not marry Count Mitkiewtz
and Hiss Lester without at least knowing beyond
doubt that the Count was Russian ~
- am, OF course at perfect iieery to unite man
and woman in the bonds OF matrimony, but my first
ever before been married.
'Well, In this case as is evident the only question
to arise would be conc rnnG the Count and IN re-
gard 10 him, probably, the most importan, question
would he 10 the validity Of his marriage In Ame-
rica, IN case the ceremony was performed by Pro-
testant Clergyman. or even by Greek clergyman,
without ms having eoniormed to the regular Russian
.'In case the marriage were performed by Pro-
testant Clergyman am not certain whether not
cently acquainted with the civl. law or the country
to decide. Butas TO the second case, that suppos-
Ing the marriage to be performed by Greek priest,
without the usual previous Iormaiites, know, for
my own part were assured that neither party was
yet by matrlmony, would have no hesitation
w you say neither party should be vet bound
by matrimony do you imply that the Greek Church
does not acknowledge CAvorcer'
"Most decidedly. The Greek Church Is In every re.
spect similar to the Roman Church III regard TO di.
yorcc.o
"Then II the celebrated Count and the suffering
Carrie Lester were to present themselves to be united
In matrimony by you and the Count gave you salts
factory evidence that he had never been married,
You would marry them according 10 the rites Of the
Russian Cnurchsf
81 should certainly; but much depends upon the
answer OF the Russian Minister at Washington to
my Communications
The interview closed here ana the reporter passed
short time in inspecting the beautiful little chapel
of the Greeks which is for the present located in
the house OF the Rev. Mr.. Bjerring. The Greek
vice. though III many respects SO similar 10 the
Roman. ls yet widely different In details; but IL was
noticed that each time the priest passed the taber-
nacle, which was placed upon tho principal altar,
he made q solemn genufecton, similar TO that made
by the pious and the clergy In Roman Catholic
churches
The sensation is dead. The Count is to be married.
Carrie won't do without him. Ee knows IL. Mother
and ell are reconced. They can't help 1t. The
Count has triumpned. Many people say he IS "bad
nut;' many people say that Carrie can make him
better.
Let them fight it out.
Only themselves have got to cry, under any ctr
cumstances which Is q cons0llng reflection TO the
hungry and melancholy reelection to all philan-
thr0psts, male and female.
