A very singular accident took place On the
Champs Elysecs the other day. lady, well
known in Partisan society,was on her way to the
Bois dc Bo1ognc, driving herself, as is her Gus
tom, two spirited black horses attached to
low carriage. Not far from the Arc dc
Triomphe servant in livery passed her, lead
ing large and magnificent Russian blood
hound On seeing the lady. the dog, with
one sudden effort, broke loose from his
guardian, sprnng into the carriage, and COM
mcnced caressing its occupant with vehement
caresses. The lady, thus taken by surprise, lost
her hold OF the reins, the horses took fright and
started of on a run, and IN lew moments the
footman were both a good deal hurt, though
not dangerously SO, while as to the poor dog
who had been the unwitting cause OF the whole
disaster, he was killed on the spot. In answer
to the interrogatories OF the police the lady
stated that the dog had formerly belonged to
her but that hc had been stolen from her some
months before. As to the servant who had had
the dog in charge, he WIS nowhere to be tound.

CHICAGO, April 14.-When your ncighbor, the
editor Of the Chicago Times, tries TO be funny
he is generally stupid, but occasionally he is
funny, not to say ridiculous, unbeknown as it

very cute, he a1ludes to the barber's brass basin
which Don Quixote appropriated as helmet as

M'ALL1STER.
The motion for change Of venue in the
Alexander Sullivan case was heard in the Grim
i1al Court yesterday morning. The prisoner
was in court attended by his attorneys. The
first proceeding Was the reading Of the follow
ing petition by Mr.. Moran, one Of the attor-
neys:
The petitioner, Alexander Sullivan, defendant
in the above entitled cause respectfully represents
to the Judge Of said Court, holding Court at this
time, that he fears that he will not receive fair
AMI impartial trial in the above entitled cause if
tried before the Judge Of said Court now holding
a
state Of facts applies 70 5he Hons John 4 Jane
tus S. Williams, John G. Rogers and Henry
Booth, also Judges OF Court, and that be fears
that he will not receive fair aad impartial trial.
if tried before any OF said Judges, On account OF
the prejudice Of each and every one Of said Judges
against him. That an actual knowledge OF such
prejudice, as stated aforesaid, did not come to
petitioner until the 11tn day Of October, 1876, and
that the cause for which this change Of venue ia
asked has arisen and has come to his knowledge

JEALOUSY IN HIGH PLACES.

An incident which occurred here few years
ago (says London letter. may, perhaps sc!ve
to illustrate the jealousy which exists upon the
question OF precedence among the different Am
bnssadors. Afusurus Pasha had the misfortune
to lose his wife, who died ut ball given BY the
Prince Of Wales. title first 'sdrawing-room,"
or reception, held By the Queen after this mel
ancho1y event, the Minister brought Ills eldest
daughter to fill the place Of the deceased lady,
and, as her mothers representative, Miss
Musurus had precedence of all other Ia
dies of the Diplomatic Corps who we're present.
whcrcupon the wife Of the Russian Ambassador
Immediately left the palace, protesting that the
daughter Of the Turkish Minister had no claim
to this superiority. This created, Of course, in
tense excitement, and, after careful inquiry
into the forms and observances Of etiquette, it
was found that the Russian lady was in the
right. However, BY way Of balm to the Wound-
ed feelings Of the representative Of the sublime
Porto, the Queen invited his daughter to spend
few weeks at Windsor Castle, an honor which,
it is said, had never been vouchsated to any Of
his brother diplomats And SO the incident
ended.

swindling has just come before the Assizes Of
the Manche, France. The prisoner was a man
named Girod, aged 81, meek and oily char
acter Of monastic aspect and wearing blue
spectacles. In the course Of his checkered
career he had made the acquaintance Of several
prisons, and at the end Ut 1878, after having
served eighteen months OIL the trealmill Tor EN-
bezzlen,ent, he found himself ouce more free.
The clerical agitation being rampant, he thought
he might turn it to account. His modus
operandi was very simple. He went to
monastery and declared that he was tired OF
the world and its yanities. He said he possessed
property at Turin worth several thousand
pounds, which he desired to make over to the
community, but unfortunately there was little
mortgage which must be cleared off first Of
all. The father superior, confident in the sin
ccrity of the rcpeatant sinner, advanced the
sum to pay Oft the mortgage, and sent one Of
the monks with him to arrange the sale Of the
property and the entrance OF the convert into
the monastery. Arrived at Turin Girod easily
managed to get rid OF his companion, aud 10th
ing more was heard Of the promising old sinner.
In this way, backed up by all kinds Of forged
documents and certificates, the prisoner suc-
cecued in swnd1ing $500 out Of the Abbey OF
Scpt-Fons, sl20 out OF the Oliyetian Brothers
Of Parmcnie, 800 out of the missionary fathers
Of Lourdes, $3.50 out Of the superior Of Notre-
Dame da Lans, and $3.50 out Of thc Slariat Broth
crs. OF Besahcon. But the pitcher went to the
well too often. The monastic confraternity
were aroused BY these repeated deccptlons, and
a warning was sent round to the various monas-
meek and repeatant Girod presented himself
with his old story to the TIappist Brothers, OF
Bricuuebec, lie was caught in hts own trap, and
handed over to the police.

ROMANCE OF SALnI-SALN.

Olive Logan writes from London to the New
York Graphic: " A person just married whose
name is familiar to certain New York circles is
the Princess Agnes de saln-Sa1m, who has just
cspoused the younger son of an English Lord,
hIr. Charles Heneage. attache of Legation at
Bonn. 1t is now about ten years since the Prin-
cess made her debut in New York society, where
she was very well received in despite Of q very
unpleasant circumstance, namely, the excessive
penury Of her titled husband. They were POOR!
Well, it is difficult to understand how
they lived at all, for I believe the Prince
had absolutely no income whatever. visited
them frequently at their lodgings in Hous-
ton street. They had but one room, the bed
standing in an alcovc and partly concealed by
curtain, and such furniture as was visible was Of
the poorest description. Where and when they
took their repasts when they we're not invited
out was something Of a mystery IN those days
when cheap restaurants in New York we're not
SO well conducted nor so respectfully patronizcd
as they are at present. The Princess was win
ning creature, excessively conane IL Jaat, and
very dignifel, in spite Of the embarrassing situa-
tion in which their lack OF fortune placed her.
'Of Prince Saln-Salm's right to the title he
bore there was never q shadow OF doubt. We
have had good many Count dc Friscurs and
Due de Charcuterics in New York, but Salnl-
Salm was genuine Austrian noble who had

age, and who sought our shores in the hope Of
finding that golden fleece we are all looking for.
The first thing be found was this very charming
woman, who was willing to exchange her name
and position for his. What her. name aud
position were before marriage was qucs-
tion which New York gossips tried In many
ways to solve. I believe the fact is undoubtcd
that she has been before the public, but whether
she was, as many alleged, a circus rider, can
not say. Whatever her social status was before
marrying Salm-Salm, she proved herself no
BILE, affectionate, and talented wife to him, and
bore her title in fully as Princely way as he
did his. By her excrtions, aud her persuasions
Of prominent officials in Washington, she OBJ

THE NORTHEASTERN.


A northeastcr Of unusual violence visited this
section about o'clock and continues with un~
abating fury at the present writing. The lake
is fearfully rough, and the vessels which went
out during the last twenty-four hours had all to
