The cruising party composed of Col. A.
&c. Tyler and Messrs Ralph Jenkins and
Charles Bispham, who set out so gayly
from Miami. Fla. month ago, did not
complete their original programme of
luxurious adventure. The yacht in which
they embarked seems TO have missed the
entrance to Havana harbor by some
twenty miles, and when the voyagers
finally reached the Cuban capital with
their craft in a somewhat disheveled con
dition. they decided TO return To the
United States By means of the more
comfortable If somewhat humdrum pas
senger steamer. They are all safe, how
ever which. after all, is the matter OF
chief consequence.
The death last winter of Mr c w
Aiiltenberger, of Paris. New Orleans, and
Washington. may have the effect OF post
poning. If it does not actually prevent
the visit to this country of the young
Duke of Richelieu. This nobleman, who
( in addition to an ancient lineage, pos
sesses great wealth. is related on his
mothers side to the Miltenbergers OF
New Orleans, and he had long proposed
TO himself a considerable sojourn on this
side. He does not seem to care fol-
France. Notwithstanding the magnificent
Richelieu estates at his disposal anc
both he and his mother-now the PFin-
| cess of Monaco by a second marriage
spend much of their time in England. Il
| is stiH possible that he may carry out his
/ first intention though, if Mr.. MiltenbergeI
/ had lived, that would have been a Ger
tainty instead Of a chance. The duke is
young, under thirty unmarried, wealthy
and very highly accomplished.

Bryce will leave to-day for New York
