On little frequentcu street, though In the
immediate vicinity of the Esplanale, the
Boulevard, and 1saac's Place. there stands I
gloomr-looking building, large, but OF severe
style OF architecture, and painted in sombre
coiors. THIS is the Leucntcnberg Palace, 4
name suggestive Of dark PAGE in the history
of the Imperial family OF Russia. Many Of the
Chronicles readers will yet remember the somc-
what romantic story of the marriage Of Car
Nicholas favoritc daughter to dasling young
German officer. the Duke Of Leuchtenbers
was good-lookins, but comparatively poor and
obscure, and it is said that the waywurd Princess

scandal. Al any rate, romance and Royalty
do not seem to agree we'll, and the union turned
out badly. The Duchess tired OF her former
idol, q guy and dashiug, but at the same time
scholarly and Thoroughly honorable German,
aud began to form 1iaisons, the most notorious
of which was with Count Strogonoff. After
life o: mortified 6ec1usiun aud constant study,
the Duke died, refusing to recognize on his
dcathtcd the two last children borne BY tie
Princess. Immediately after his demise the
latter was forced to marrv Strogonon, and was
bauished from Russia. Site took up her aboue
in Paris, where she died a few years ago. The
children Of this uniot have been somewhat I'LL

the very accomplished daughter were broken oil
Tor some unexplained reasons. The Oldest son

The Academy Of Design in this city. which has
had a hard struggle for existence since the
great fire, is about to take steps which promise
to place it on permanent basis. Amendments
to the constitution have been proposed which
will divide the members into Acadcu,ictans and
Corporate Members, the latter consisting OF
subscribers to the stock of the Academy. ALI
the money, property, and effects Of the 4cadc-
my are to be held and managed by thirty
trustees selected from the corporate members.
They are to be elected for lite, subject to GER
tain conditions, and to serve without conpcnsa-
tion. In other words, they have the full aud
absolute control OF the business and property,
thus leaving the Acadcmicians free to devote
themselves exclusively to the esthetic PURPOSES
Of the institution. Under such regime 1t
ought to prosper.
