! Grand Duke, it didn't appease his bride,
who was sent out of the Empire by special
tran. She went to Geneva, and recently
| it appears that Count Shouvalof was sent
to treat with her. 1t was proposed that
she should renounce all claim to the hand
of Alexis should change her name and
disappear. In return for this service she
would receive 100000 roubles down and
an annuity of $4,000 roubles, which would
be continued to her child in case the latter
survived her; but Mrs. Alexis wouldn't do
it, She loved Alexis too much for that,
and so matters stand at pres 'nt.-Boston
