shoe factory, is one of the most iihpor-
tant industries in this city. He has 30
watts that turn out 800 sides of leather
per month, upper and sole, kip. kid.
calf and morocco. He has q machine
for making all kinds of whips and riat-
tas. Ten men are employed in manu-
featuring boots. shoes. slippers. etc..

There is material and demand enough
to proitably employ ten times the
amount of capital now invested in this
business in this place. Nine tenths of
our hides are now shipped to San
Francisco and returned here in leather
and boots and shoes.
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS. pro-

now is. more hotel accommodations.

He set out. At Kichenefr he was introdu-
ced to the Princess K--,a young lady of
eighteen, beauty, a pearl, masterpiece Of
nature recently arrived from St. Petersburg.
After some days he remarked that the young
Princess did not look upon him with indifer.
ence. Their intimacy increased. One fine
evening, or one fine morning, she said to
him, "Prince | love you am rich ; marry
me-" The unfortunate Prince was confound-
ed ; then summing up his courage he frank
ly told her his situation.
"Oh % exclaimed the Princess az know

yourself, person cannot write as she does
to me without loving" 81 assure you she
is merely acting. You do not know her, or
rather you know her face, but not her heart.

little Princess made no impression several
times she returned to the attack, but always
| in vain.
AT last, the two years expired on the 18th
of February. The 10th Prince D. re-
| ceived the following telegram:
Tomorrow evening I will be at Kiche-
nef; the day after you will see me and |
will be your wife when you please. The
| sooner the better. The UNKNOWN.
1t was thus that she had signed her letters
| to that date. On the 18th Prince D.
was requested to repair at noon to property
in the environs of the town, which twas in

introduced in a large saloon, where he wait

subterfuge, she had been able to have herself
presented to the Prince, and 10 easily play

A Russian Romance.

1t has often been said that the inventions
of the liveliest Imagination of romance
writers are always surpassed by the reality.
The following is new and curious proof of
this saying. An officer of the engineer corps,
who has just arrived here odessa from
Fkichenef the headquarters of the Russian
ffmy of the south, relates in his own Ian
lhage this curious little history;
There is nothing talked of down there at
Kicheneff but of most romantic incident.

Petersburg, black domino accosted Prince

of Cossacks, in these terms 81 love you,

pretty or ugly, young or old9" "Yesp
Prince ID. broke out into a loud laugh,
which was not very proper, as he himself
confessed, and, between two peals of laugh
ter, he replied swell, yes, will love you;
Will you lay aside that rag now?" He
sought to unmask the unknown, but she re-
coiled, saying, snow less than ever; have
your promise; ! retire, and in two years you
will see me-" "Two years ?" Eyes, in two
years | will be your wife" "My wife in two
years?" Certainly" "Am affianced
then Is it to demon or au angel~ And
he broke out into new laugh, for he took
the adventure for a joke. The unknown
answered "To woman who loves you-
rich, beautiful, powerful, and sixteen year,
of age"
Prince D-exclaimed "Alasl VIII,

to everything certain, he is occasionally sur

We had some very large cherries on our

them for moment, Uncle Ned remarked
that they beat anything he ever saw-and
there was short pause--'tha is to say around

"Well, perhaps didn't"
