The daughter of the Car of Russia Is mar
ricd to II sou Of Queen Victoria. Her position
must be one of great embarrassment, as she is
represented Us u woman Of strong feeling, and
eutertains the warmest affection for her father
rs well as her husband Should hostilities be-
tween England and Russia commence her po-
sition will bo truly ptiablc, notwit Outstanding
that she isa Princess, and may one day be
Queen Of England.
On the evening Of Lord Rosebcrry's we'd
ding he received a mysterious looking pack
age from the brde.ecct. 1t contained II small
gold box, and in u separate envelope was an
'tquisito golden key. No letter, message, or
instructions of any kind accompanied the gift,
but doubtless my Lord wasted no time in in-
vcstigating for himself. Upon opening tho
box II was found to contain the last check
Hannah dc Rothschild would ever sign rs a
spinster. Beautifully written in her own fair
hand, it was drawn in favor Of Lord Rosebcrry
81 100000, payable to his order.
To break tho quiet monotony Of Lent a
number of young ladies in popular female
seminary decided TO give u novel entertain
ment in the way Of goat rattle. After hunt
ing around town they succeeded In finding
thorough. bred, cashmere goat, and invited
their friends to adjourn with them to pr-
vate residence To witness the ceremonies,
Upon the appointed evening goodly number
assembled at the show. A band was in attend
ance, and the goat, tied outside by a strong
cord awaited the result of the rattle. First
there was dancing and feasting; then COM
mittce went the rounds illing up the chances
When the list was filled all gathered in cir
Gle to witness the raiiie. Tho young ladies'
tossed chances, and the old goat was of course
won by one Of them. She refused all entreatics
to ride him home, however, notwithstanding
the many volunteers who offered 10 lead him
all the way.

SAUCE FOR THE GOOES.

The London papers tell of breach OF
promise case thathas Just been settled by a
compromise in England, which beats that of
Bardell vs.. Pickwick in singularity, though
the man, not the woman, as in the novel,
was the aggressive party. A certain Mr..
Heap, perhaps his first name was Uriah, a
few years ago induced an unsuspecting Miss
Marris TO sign an agreement to become his
wife on or about January i, 1874. Failing
to do this, she was to pay her sutton one
third of the property her father might leave
her. In addition she was to pay him 500
at the end of 1875, $500 at the end of
1876, 800 at the close of 1877, and
keep on doubling after the fashion
OF the horse shoe nails in the arith-
metical problem. Had this agree
ment been fulfilled, by the tenth year Of
her spinsterhood Miss Marris would have
to hand over the trifiing sum of $4,000.
Her father was not satisfied with Heaps
prospects or character, though he probably
was not aware Of the astounding agreement.
The lady backed down and out and Heap
sued her. As We have mentioned, q COM
promise was effected, the defendant paying
the plaintiff 5000. She would probably
have given him nothing, as his cause would
not have been sustained by the courts, but
she did not want to have her love letters
read in public, and therefore parted with
some of her cash. The moral of the occur
renee is obvious: ladies, however much in
love, should confne themselves to verbal

SHEDDING sACKCi.Oru.
Ane i.ensen Season to End with the
Close OF the Preseu, Week.

S"se OF the Present. Week.
Alter next Sunday the full blown flowers of
feminine form will again appear uno, our
streets, after having emer-sd from thu s,.,-
cloth and sombre-hued costumes which ,ra
the prescribed for Lent. But then il cav,
scarcely be said that many hearts will loan
for 10y AZ the announcement, for the holy
season is but just becoming a pleasing period
JUST PASSING.
The exhaustion of the merry rounds engaged
in previous 20 its arrival, is just passing of,
and following fast upon its heels is the reali-
cation of the delights of freedom from social
obligations and rest from the weary waltz
The time that hung SO heavily at first, has
now become bearable, and a feeling of regret
VIII come to many at the announcement of a
termination Of the season. II is not too late
for a re-introduction of fashionable festiyi-
ties, but a consciousness OF the retirement. of
Lent will be unpleasant
We are essentially gay people here in the
metropolis, and while
1T NAY BE POSSIBLE
that Lent has not been so sacretlly observed
rs, perhaps, II ought to have been, yet, judg-
ing us by what we are and not what We ought
to be we think we have done renlarkablywell.
There are cities in this country in which, per-
haps, the rules laid down for these religious
periods of fast and humiliation are more rig
idly adhered TO, but taken all in all, We have
been reasonably pious, and need in no way
feel alarmed as To the criticisms upon our
manner of k eping Lent.
