The Coming Prince.

Fashionable circles are on the gui UtUe
! for the coming of the young Russian GI and
| Duke, aboutwhom SO much has been said
in the public jOUenals. The latest advices
state that the Imperial fleet, which is a
very fine one, had arrived at Copenhagen
under sail, and would leave in day or
two for Plymouth, England. AS was not
anticipated, Prince Alexis will not only
be publicly received in Denmark, but at
Plymouth will be met and entertained by
the Duke Of Edinburg, who, like the Rus
sian Grand Duke, is royal sailor. Grand
Duke Alexis has a splendidly furnished
cabin on the steam-frlgate Swetlans, but,
though living in princely magnificence
while off duty, is just as strictly required
to conform to the rules of the service as
any sub-Ilieutenant in the Russian navy.
OF fcOurse that rigid observance of the rules
Of the Imperial marine is only for FORMS
sake, and when the Prince lands in Amer
lea he will assume the dignities of his eX-
allied position at once.
Another change has been made in the
programme which il was at first intended
Should be pursued. The Grand Duke, inn
mediately upon bis arrival, will proceed to
Washington, where he Will be presented
to the President of the United States by
the Russian Minister. This point of eti-
quette fulfilled and after having received
the hospitalities of the Government of the
United States, the Imperial party, consist
ing of the Grand Duke and a very large
number of distinguished Russians, both
young and old, will return to New York
and here carry out the brilliant programme
already published in the Times Leaving
New York, after a sojourn of three or four
days the Grand Duke and suite go West,
visiting en- route all the principal cities as
far as San Francisco. The principal fea-
ture of the Western trip will be the grand
buffalo hunt on the plains, near Fort Lar
annie, which, as has been already noticed
in this paper, will be given under the aus
pices Of Lieutenant General Sheridan and

THE LOST CoUNTY.-In explanation of
the catastrophe, of which intelligence was
given yesterday, by which an entire coun-
ty of Florida is represented to have sunk
and been replaced by a lake, we are told
that the ocean waters flow under bog crusts
in that State for many miles, that salt-wa-
ter fishes have been taken in sink holes"
or openings in this crust sixty miles from
the sea shore, Analogous phenomena in
localities nearer at hand are mentioned.
Such caving in scared the people of Or
ange county, New Jersey, lately, and re-
calls the similar phenomena in Iowa that
recently, in the same way, destroyed seve-
raj miles of railroad that had been built
over an unsupported lake. So, too, in York
county, Maine, the railroad that had been
completed around pond in Alfred sud-
denly sank, and when the cause was sought
it was found that an unsuspected pond
sixty feet deep, lay under the meadow over
which the road had been constructed. But
in Florida such conditions exist more ex-
tensively than anywhere else.-BaH. Stoe.

Z a PLURAL DIFFICULTY. Some time
since variety merchant in the country
wished to order from hardware store in
the city something for his tailor customers,
and wrote as follows:
Please send me two tailors' gooses."
Not liking the grammar, and fearing his
New York friends would laugh at him, he
destroyed that order and wrote:
Please send me two tailors' goose"
After the letter was sealed, he was trOu-
bled in his mind lest they should send him
a couple of live geese, purchased from some
tailor when he took the document from
the post office, destroyed it, and for two
days thought of nothing except how to
word his order so it could be understood,
and according to grammar. At last he
gave up in despair, and wrote: ~ x~a
g Please send me one tailor's goose-and,
d-n it, send me another one just like it,"

Mr.. Morris Phillips to the Home Journal
from Paris: "Those who go to Paris with
the idea that they can live cheaply will be
sadly mistaken. Before the war this may
have been true; but great change has ta-
ken place. War is costly game and the
loser must pay the price. To help pay the
Prussian demand everything has been
taxed-provisions with other commodities;
per consequence, hotel charges are high.
True, good dinner, table d'hote, is served
with wine for five francs, and the rate per
night for lodging is reasonable, but attend
ance is charged separately, and so are can
dies and when the traveller gets his bill
he is amazed with items and extras he
