It lias often been said that the in ventions of the liveliest imagination of romance writers are always sur passed by the reality. The following is a new and curious proof of this saying : An officer of the engineer corps, who has just arrived here (Odessa) from Kicheueff, the head quarters of the Russian Army of the South, relates in his own language this curious little history: There is nothing talked of down there at Kicheueff hut of a most romantic incident. Two years ago, at a masked ball in St. Petersburg, a black uomiuo accosted Prince D , an officer of the Ataminski regiment of Cossacks, in these terms: “ I love you, Prince ; will you love me ?” “ Why not ? But, first, I should like to see what that sombre domino covers.” “Not so fast; consent, at first, to answer my question.” “ What! love you without know** mg whether yon are pretty or ugly, young or old ?” “ Yes.” Prince D broke out into aloud laugh, which Y\*as not very proper, as he himself confessed, and, bettveen the two peals of laughter, he replied : “ Well, yes, I will love you ; will you lay aside that rag, now ?” lie sought to unmask the un known ; but she recoiled, saying, “ Now less than ever. I have your promise ; I retire, and in two years yon will see me?” “Tyvo years?” “ Yes, in two years, I will be your wife.” . “ My wife in two years ?” “ Certainly.” “ Am I affianced,- then! Is it to a demon, or an angel ?” And he broke out into a new laugh, for he look the adventure for a joke. The unknoYvn answered : “ To a Yvoman yvIio loves you— rich, beautiful, powerful aud sixteen years ot age.’* “ My dear journalist,” interrupted the engineer officer, “you see things are in Russia as in France.” Prince D exclaimed, “Alas, why Yvait tY\’o years ? We shall be old or dead by that time. Tyvo years! two centuries!” The XTcrw IPaarfcjr- [Burlington Hawk Eye, Rep.] Some Oue Has lately begun To starta * New party, Which, when it is done, Is going to smash, Into eternal crush, All other parties under the sun: Whigs, Nigs, Fire eating rebs, Tramps, Scamps, Reconstructed confeds, Hot abolitionists, Raw prohibitionists, Labor reformers, frantic protectionists, The temrexpues. I will go to re join you, Yvere it even in another world, for I love you so that I would renounce my own life if God should take yours.” He set out. At Kicheueff' he was introduced to the Princess D , a young lady of eighteen, a beauty, a pearl, a master-piece of nature, re cently from St. Petersburg. After some days he remarked that the young Princess did not look upon him Yvith indifference. Their intima cy increased. One fine evening, or one fine morning, she said to hint: “ Prince, I love you ; I am rich ; marry me.” The unfortunate Prince tvas con founded ; then summoning his cour age, he frankly told her his situation. “ Oh !” exclaimed the Princess, “ I know her very well; she is an intrig uante ; she does not love you.” “ You must deceive yourself; a person cannot write as she does to me without loving.” “ I assure you she is merely acting. You do not know her, or rather you know her face but not her heart. I am the very opposite; a heart like mine cannot assume a part it does not fee’*” The little Princess made no irupres sion; several times she returned to the attack, but always in vain. At last, the two years expired on the 12th of February. The lOili, Prince D received the following tele gram. To-morrow evening 1 will be at Kicheneff; the day after you will ace me, and I will be your wife when you please. The sooner the better. The Unknown. It was that she had signed her let ters to that date. On the 12th, Prince D——was requested to re pair at noon to a property in the environs of the town, which was indicated to him, He fletv thither. He was introduced in a large saloon, where he waited five mortal minutes, She appeared at last. “ Here I ani!” she said. “ Heaven! the Princess K !” It was, in fact, she. She had left St. Petersburg at the same time with the Prince, and had fixed herself at Kicheneff, whence she sent to a con fidante the letters which the lover tvas to continue to receive from the Capital.

A most remarkable case of swind ling, involving avarice and crednlity on the one side and positive genius on the other, has lately been recorded. In England there is a class of sport ing men who regularly advertise that they are prepared to receive sums to be invested in a coming horse race or steeple chase, the result of which, from special information gained by them, is a certainty, and there are always people ready to listen to their story and risk the chances ot winning or losing. In the case in question a gang of these sharpers concocted a most ingenious plot, which had it not been that too much pressure was brought to bear upon their victim, Yvould have been remarkably suc cessful. The first act on their part Yvas to induce a printer in Edinburgh, Scotland, to strike off a number of copies of his paper, called The Sport, containing an account of the success ful betting speculation of a Mr. Hugh Montgomery. That gentleman had, according to the article in question, invented a neYv system of betting, by which he had realized three millions of dollars. With rare generosity he had spent the greater part of this sum in charity, and the names of the in* stitutions to whose support he had contributed were given. A check plate yy’hs next given to the printer and a thousand bank checks thrown oft’ on the Royal Bank of London, an institution which existed only in imagination. With these, the news paper article translated into French and printed as a circular, a French | directory, and some note paper with an armorial crest, the stock in trade j of the swindlers was complete and ; their operations began. Amongst j the parties in France to whom copies j of the paper and circular were mailed | Yvas the Comjesse de Goncourt, own ing and residing at a chateau in the Department, of Marne. Upon read ing the marvelous story of success there chronicled, she determined to increase her wealth, and at once sent .a check for one thousand dollars to be vested in the “system,” .Fortune IWtHttr, and in a short time she- -received sevcraT^eclcs for suiiis" varying, fn 'fthbSTaS't^Rrdnr $5,000 to . $20,0°0, all drawn on the Royal Bank of London by Geo. Simpson, i This encouraged her, and she con- ; tinned sending remittances until she had forwarded §50,000 to be placed on a certain handicap. Just before I the race, however, she received a j letter informing her that under the | law of England it would he necessary j for her, in order to secure the amounts she had already won, to j send six thousand dollars. At this request she felt some slight alarm j and consulted her lawyer in Paris. That gentleman de dared she had been ! swindled, and took measures to de tect the guilty parties vvliich were so successful that in a short time five of them were arrested and committed for trial. They were ably defended by counsel, but were found guilty and sentenced to terms of imprison ment with hard labor, ranging from eighteen months to fifteen years. The most remarkable feature in the case is that all of the money; Yvith the exception of §5,000, Yvas recovered. Over §12,000 Yvas found in the pos session of one of the prisoners at his arrest, 818,000 was discovered de posited in a Scottish bank, and 812,- 000 given up voluntarily. The Countess no doubt returned to her chateau a wiser woman, and will in future seek other means of increasing her fortune than inves’.ing in a neYV system of betting with philanthropic gentlemen Yvho are the soul of honor. “ Has that jury agreed ?” asked the judge of a sheriff, Yvhom he met on the 8tair8with a bucket in his hand. “Yes,” replied Patrick, “ they have agreed to send out for half a gallon.” A little boy Yvas munching a bit of gingerbread. His mother asked who gave it to him. *Mis9 Johnson gave it to me*’ * And did you thank her for it?’ ‘Yes, I did, but I didn’t tell her Dohbs thinks the tree of knowledge was the birch-tree, the twigs of which have done more to make man acquain ted with arithmetic than all the other memlier of the vegetable kingdom com bi ited.
