SCANDAL ABOUT THE FUTURE DUCHESS OF
EDINBURG.-The official announcement of the
betrothal of the grand duchess Maria Alexan-
drovna, only daughter of the Car of Russia
TO the Duke of Edinburg, second son of Queen
Victoria, has brought out another episode in
the life of the grand duchess, which is now the
chief subject OF gossip in St. Petersburg. II
appears that about two years ago the Gar con
ceived the Idea of marrying his daughter 10
the Duke of Edinburg, and, as a preliminary
step, sent for young English professor in the
University of St Petersburg, named Swsyne
TO teach her English. The duchess imme-
diateiy fell in love with her teacher and in
formed him OF it. For several months he
taught her English and she taught him love
but one day the Gear told her he should
shortly take her 70 German watering-place
TO make the acquaintance of her intended
She informed him that would be unnecessary
as she had already given her heart and hand TO
Dlr. Swayne. Thereupon she was sent to her
apartments, and Prof. Swavne was summoned
and informed by the Gar that he had better
leave Russia Immediately, which he did. The
young duchess was inconsOlable for a long
time, and swore TO her parents that she would
never marry the Duke of Edinburg. When she
was taken to Germany she refused to meet her
intended, and during her recent sojourn with
her mother in Italy she heaped continual
Sights upon his head. Her repugnance, how
ever, was finally overcome, and now, Instead OF
becoming plain Mrs. Swayne, she will soon be
duchess of Edinburg. How much comfort the
Duke may derive from the alliance is another
consideration. The episode shows that even a
CZar's daughter is apt to be human.

AN AMERICAN HOME FOR THE ROMAN Pom

An Evening with the President.

In the fog Friday night, the revenue cutter
McCulloch, with the President and his party
on board, gave up the attempt to reach Mount
Desert, and put in at North Haven, on the Fox
Islands at the mouth Of Penobscot bay. The
ladies of the party remained on board the cat
ter, but the gentlemen found accommodate lions
on shore, at the house of Mr.. Nathan Mullen,
who Is described in the Maine Register as a
merchant. IL was the first time since the cap
tuTe OF Nicksburg, ten years ago, tn at the Pres
ldent had passed night out OF reach of the tel
egraph, and as the fog closed in and darknes
came on, he began TO realize the compile teness
OF his liberatlon for the time from the pressure
OF public duties. A correspondent OF the Port
land Press tells what followed.
W hen the night was somewhat advanced an
many of the party had dispersed TO various
neighboring dwellings, which had been assigned
tor their use, the President seated himself by
the tire in the sitting room of MT. Mullen's cot
tage, lighted his cigar and began 10 talk. Those

IN conversation. when he is in sympathy with
his audience, can conceive of the pleasure b.
gave the company in the hour or two that fol-
lowed. We trust we shall not violate the CON
hdencea OF the occasion by brief reference 10
the themes of this instructive tre-side talk. He
sketched the great events of the war, discussed
tie conduct of battles, expressed his opinions OF
nearly all the prominent officer in both armies
and spoke with such clearness, readiness aud
huency Of the whole course of the four years
warfare against the rebellion, that il
was easy to see how wonderfully well informed
ne is in reference to military affairs, and
that his memory is extraordinarily tenacious
And what would have impressed his auditor
most of all, was the generosity with which he
spoke of his fellow soldiers, and the scrupulous
retcence with which he avoided any allusion 20
himself. If there was any exception TO this
rule, II was when in answer to a remark of one
of the party in depreciation Of the habit of pro-
fanity SO prevalent in the armv, he observed.
tfat he had never from his boyhood uttered an
OATH. he was careful to add that he did not
mention this circumstance with the purpose OF
arrogating any special merit to himself or OF
casting censure on others.
am persuaded that no man living could have
listened TO that conversation without being con-
WINGED that Gen. Grant is not only preemi-
nently great soldier, but that he has marvel
lous executive capacity, and that he is the very
soul of manliness and magnanimity.
