A RUSSIAN ROMANCE.
A Beautiful Daughter of the Regi-
ment rIarried 10 One of Her Fathers.

Warsaw Journal
Marie Keksholmskaia is married. On
January II, 1877, the grenadiers of Kek-
sholm, who had taken part in the battle of
Karagatch. were passing in 4 storm through
the valley Of Toundja en- route for Adria-
nOple. The road was strewn with tile half
frozen bodies Of dead men ard horses, over
which hocks of Tavenous were soaring. The
last company of tie regiment was leaving
the valley when the soldiers heard
the faint cry OF child. They halted i
searching party was formed, and in
heap of ruins they came upon the dead
body Of a richly dressed and singularly
beautiful Turkish lady. Her features were
OF the Circasslan type. and the portions of
her long and crispy hair which were not
covered with the snow futtered in the
wind. In her arms she held baby still
alive. The captain picked up the little
waif, wrapped IL carefully In a blanket,
kissed il and handed it to lieutenant,
with orders to have it carefully placed in
one Of the warmest wagong and cared for.
Company cooks ale renowned the world
over for their skill in imprOvisng a meal
The cook OF this company was in fix. He
didn't know at first what TO give to the
baby, but al last, with the aid of the doctor.
he got over the difficulty.
AT the end Of the campaign the staff of
the regiment decided TO adopt the little
orphan, and later on the Empress, who
heard the story, had the little one placed IN
the Alexandra Marie Institute for Young
Ladies at Warsaw. She graduated with
high honors, and On leaving the institute
was taken 10 the ONE of General Paniout-
inc, the former colonel of the Keksholm
regiment, where she became a cherished
member OF his family on account OF her
amlable disposition. her accomplishments
and her extreme beauty. La 1890 she was
presented TO the Empress, who attended to
her marriage portion, which was also In
creased by gifts from the Emperor OF Aus
tria. who is an honorary colonel Of her reg
iment, and by the subscriptions Of the
officers,
The marriage ceremony was performed at
warsaw. and, strange TO say, the bride
groom is one OF her fathers, an officer in her
regiment. The bride received the good
wishes of the GoyeTnor-General and Of
Nine. Gourko. The colonel of the regiment
offered toast to Emperor Francis Joseph
Of Austria. the honorary colonel, who hon.
ored the feast by the presence of his aide
de-camp, Colonel Klepsch. The toast was
received with cheers and the band played
the Austrian national hymn. Colonel
klepsch then presented the bride with q
present from his emperor, a splendid brace
let. genuine imperial gift. Telegrams
from officers and non-commissioned officers
came from many quarters, and everybody
was happy.

Renan had a great contempt for mere

himself 10 prove the existence of God. His
eloquent assertions did n OF seem to interest

But all the ladies were intensely inter-

He bowed submissively.
Toward the end of dinner nj. Caro-, out Of
breath, stopped with rhetorical emphasis.
AT once every one turned toward the illus
