LONDON, December 21.-[Copyright J.
A mysterious but apparently authoritative
announcement has Just been made respect
ing the future wife Of the Czarowitz The
lady is described as a princess of one of the
reiguing houses of Western Europe, which
is the courtly way of describing the young
est daughter of the Grandduke of Hesse
Princess Alice is very beautiful, and capti-
waited the heir to the Russian throne last
winter, when she and her father visited St.
Petersburg.
The Gear does not like the Duke of Hesse,
who made fool OF himself some years ago
BY entering into morganatic marriage with
lovely but lowly widow. The affair upset
half the courts of Europe at the time, and
nearly drove Queen Victoria mad, the Duke
having been the husband of her favorite
daughter, Alice. The Queen actually went
to Darmstadt to scold the Duke, and gen.
orally behaved in a manner which set all
Europe laughing. The widow was finally
bought out, and divorce was secretly pro-
zounced BY the subservient Hesslan courts.
THE cZAR PLAcATED.
The Cars dislike, however, has appar-
entity been overcome, for priest will shortly
proceed 70 Darmstadt to prepare the Princess
for admission to the orthodox church, and
the Czarowitz is busy buying jewelry, and
generally preparing to set up housekeeping.
The marriage, however, will not take place
before next summer, as the Princess is not is
years old until June. She is poor, but her
rich English grandmother will help to dover
her.
For some reason best known to himself,
the Prince of Wales has considered it neces-
sary to inspire the Government newspapers
to announce that there is no foundation for
the report that his son Albert Victor has
been ordered home forthwith. That young
man, after remarkably good times in India
proper, arrived In Rangoon yesterday, and
in reply to an address of welcome, managed
to speak two sentences, all out of his own
head, to the effect that he had often heard
that the Burmese were among the happiest
aud most prosperous of his grandmother's
subjects, and that he had no doubt he would
enjoy his visit to Burmah. When Prince
Albert makes up his mind to enjoy hi mself
he generally succeeds.
APPARENTLY TRUE,
It is again reported that Prince Henry
OF Batteuberg's continental trip was COM
pulsory, he having quarreled with his wife,
mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Should
he be absent from the family gathering at
Osborne House next week the report may be
taken as true.
Princess Louise, Marchioness of Lorne, is
painting a portrait o, her mother, which
will be exhibited at the Royal Academy
next spring.
The Austrian Emperor, ten princes Of the
blood, and 10 bishops attended the funeral
OF the late Cardinal Gangbauer, Archbishop
of Vienna, who, although one of the great
est princes Of the church, died no richer
than the average successful farmer. The
poor Of Vienna will be poorer by tens of
thousands of forms YEARLY. From the
Cardinals funeral the Emperor went to his
palace, and there received a deputation of
humble Morayian peasants, who complained
that they had been unable to sell their
