Paris Cor. N. Y. Tribune.l
The duchess, | am told, has come
from the south Of France laden with
jewel caskets which her dying mother
brought with her from 81. Petersburg.
In themselves they constitute an i'm
perial fortune. The empress was afraid
that if she died the emperor would
give them to his present favorite. who
may hereafter be raised to the throne.
Mesalliances are not rare in the his
tory Of the imperial family of Russia.
Catherine |. was a peasant, and the
eldest son of the czar was disinher
tied and shut up in a monastery to
make wayfor her son. Anneof Holstein-
Gottorp, who was Duchess of Cour-
land before she came in for the throne
of all the Russias, was in love with
Marshal Sake, the great grandfather
of George Sand and the natural
son of August Of Saxony and Aurora
Kenigsmark. They were betrothed
to each other and would have been
married had not an accidental
circumstance brought to light an am
orous adventure of the rough and
ready soldier, While courting Ouch
ess Anne, then heir-apparent to the
crown Of Muscovy, he conceived a
passion for a maid Of honor. The pair
used to meet in a garden house, and
their Irritation went on many months.
But as they were in the tryst-
ing-place on an October night
frost set in. In trying to re-
turn to the palace they had several
falls, and in the courtyard the maid
of honor broke her arm and Marshal
SAKE his leg. Pain obliged them to
cry for help. The adventure came TO
the ears of the duchess, who instruct
ed her courtiers to play rough pranks
on her suitor, whom, when he asked
for an explanation, she dismissed with
contumely.
The Duke and Duchess of Edin-
burgh have also been entertained at
dinner by Lord Lyons. The Duchess
Of Manchester, Prince 0rloff and the
members of the British embassy we're
asked to meet them. Her imperial
aud royal highness, when last at
Cannes, made a pilgrimage to the NOR
tuary chapel of her eldest
brother the Czarewitch Nicholas,
who died there in 1863. 1t is
a small Byzantine structure. A car
pet worked in Berlin wool and ordi-
nary cross stitch is spread before the
altar. The pattern of this piece of
decorative needlework is common,
and the coloring is crude. Around
the chapel there is a pleasure ground
planted with cypress and myrtle.
When the latter is in blossom flower
ing sprays plucked from it are sent to
the empress, whose heart was wrapped
up Ia her eldest son.

THE PAPER DUTY.
The Prospects Of the Fort Bill in
Congress.

Chicago Tribune special, l3th.l
There has been no action taken
with respect to the Fort bill, reducing
the tariff on paper Mr.. Fort dis
aYows any intention of being set up as
an apostle of free trade, but in order
to maintain a tariff for revenue
only-and for the greatest amount
Of revenue.-he says some of the mon
strOsities of the present law must be
Topped off. If any article ought to be
free, he thinks it should be paper. His
reason for this view is that in the pres
ent condition ofthe country a tax upon
educatiOnis snotReeded. TherOad ought
to be as free and as open as possible
for the youth OF the land and to the
poor to buy books and newspapers,
which are our chief engines of cduca-
ton. The immense increase in the
price of paper has almost put it be-
yond the power Of poor people to get
school books for their children. Any
tax on the materials which enters into
the production of books, pamphlets
and newspapers is tax on intelh-
gence, and should be abolished.
Articles of luxury might bear the
tax, and nobody be injured. Mr.. Fort
has talked with several members of
the ways and means committee, who
look with favor on his bill. Others
oppose it because they regard it as an
attempt to tinker with the tariff, and,
no matter how much the measure
commends itself to their Judgment,
will not support it. This class is afraid
to see the question opened. They
are tariff men. and out OF Il spirit Of
self protection protect their neighbors
who have snug monopoly 1t is
likely, however, that the committee
will report the bill favorably to the
house, after which its fate will, of
course, be uncertain. If the commit
tee does not reportit to the house, Mr..
Fort will offer it under suspension
Of the rules if ne can get the floor for
that purpose, and force vote on it.
Mr.. Fort has had some cOmmunica-
tion with paper men, who claim that
they have put up the price because Of
the heavy duty on the material, such
as soda ash, entering into its manuIac-
ture. Still this duty is no higher than
it was when they were selling paper
much lower than now. Thereisno duty
on rags and some otker ingredients
of paper, and that on sod ash is what
it has been for years. Mr.. Fort ar
CUES that if the duty on soda ash
makes the cost of paper high, then to
take of that duty will help the paper
men and enable them to make it more
cheaply. Mr.. Fort says the duty left
on paper by his bill will afford hand
some profit to the manufacturers. The
cost of transportation of foreign paper
to this country, he thinks would be
ample protection to the manufacturers
here. Indeed. if the duty we're en-
tireiy removed, the paper men would
make comfortable profit. The bill
does not touch any of the fancy papers,
and only affects that needed for books
aud newspapers.

dispensable condition Of progress,

horrors will pass away.

question of motive which Mr.. Acklen
has asked the committee to consider

did not feel authorized so to do under

Mr.. King and Mr.. Ellis, Of Louisiana,

affairs Mr.. King has expressed his

Memphis, and it will last away up
into the summer, in any event,
and if we escape an epidemic,
as we hope to, there will be a
fair business here allsummer. The fact
thatmany people in Shelby county Of
late yearshave engaged in gardening
andsmall fruit farming for the North
ern, as well as local markets. gives as
surance of considerable business ac-
tivityall through the summer. THERE'S
reason to hope that there will be no
cause for fleeing from the city this
year, and if this proves to be SO an era
of unexampled prosperity will be in
augurated.

of the foul matter which adheres to
