A PECULIAR RUSSIAN ROMANCE,
Translated from the French for the I‘hiladelphia Frees
It lias often been said that the inventions
of the liveliest imagination of roninnee
writers are always surpassed by the reali
ty. The following is anew and curious
proof of this saying : An nffiecr of the en
gineer corps, who has just arrived here
(Odessa) from Kichencff, the headquarters
of the Russian Army of the South, relates
in his own language this curious little his
tory :
There is nothing talked of down thereat
Kichencff but of a most romantic incident.
Two 3'cars ago, at a masked ball in St.
Petersburg, a black domino accosted
Prince 1> , 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
sec what that sombre domino covers.”
“Not so fast; consent, at first, to an
swer my question.”
“What! love you without knowing
whether you are pretty or ugly, young or
old?”
“ Yes.”
Prince I)—broke out into a loud laugh,
which was not very proper, as he himself
confessed, and, between the two peals of
laughter, he replied : “ Well, yes, I will
love you; will you lay aside that rag,
now ? ’
He sought to unmask the unknown ; but
she recoiled, saying, “ Now less than ever.
1 have your promise ; I retire, and in two
years you will see me?”
“ Two years ?”
“ Yes, in two years, I will be your wife.”
“My wife in two years?”
“ Certainly.”
“Am I affianced, then ! Is it to a de
mon, or an angel ?”
And be broke out into anew laugh, for
he took the adventure for a joke. The un
known answered :
“To a woman who loves you—rich,
beautiful, powerful and sixteen years of
age.”
“My dear journalist,” interrupted the
engineer ollicer, “you sec things are in
Russia as in France.”
Prince D exclaimed, “Alas, why
wait two years? VV’e shall be old or dead
by that time. Two years ! two centuries !”
“ Yes, two years, during which you will
prove to me your love ?”
“ How?”
“ In being faithful, absolutely faithful to
me J”
“At least I shall sec you, 1 shall know
who you are, and where you live?'’
“No I Pardon! Pardon! I will
write to you every Sunday, and you cau
answer me.”
“ And how can I send you my letters?”
“ By giving them to the person who will
bring you mine. Two years! Adieu!
Here is my hand in pledge of my faith.
Do not forget, Prince, your promise!”
lie took the little proffered hand, and
was astonished. It seemed that she was
pretty. At the sight of this simple hand
fie grew mad with love, and determined to
remain faithful to bis unknown.
More than twenty months had elapsed
since this meeting, and the two years be
gan to rise on tbe horizon when the Army
of the South was formed. Prince I)
had a command in it. He wrote to the
lady of his thoughts :
“ I leave; who knows if I shall ever re
turn? This event was not anticipated.
Will you remain insensible to my sorrow,
and will you refuse me the favor of bestow
ing a kiss on vour chaste brow?”
She replied: “I said two years. The
term expires. I will go to rejoin you, were
it even in another world, for 1 love you so
that I would renounce my own life if God
should take yours.”
He set out. At Kichcneff he was intro
duced to the Princess K , a young lady
of eighteen, a beauty, a pearl, a master
{liece of nature, recently from St. Peters
nirg. After some days he remarked that
the young Princess did not look upon him
with indifference. Their intimacy increased.
One tine evening, or one fine morning, she
said to him :
“ Prince, 1 love you; I am rich; marry
me.”
The unfortunate Prince was confounded ;
then summoning Iris courage, he frankly
told her his situation.
“Oh !” exclaimed the Princess, “ I
know her very well; she is an intriguante;
she does not love you.”
“You must deceive yourself; a person
cannot write as she does to me without
loving.”
“1 assure you she is merely acting. You
<lo not know her, or rather you know her
face but not her heart. lam the very op
posite; a heart like mine cannot assume a
part it does not feel.”
The little Princess made no impression ;
several times she returned to the attack,
but always in vain. At last, the two years
■expired on the 12th of February. The 10th,
Prince D received the following tele-
To-morrow evening 1 will be at Kicheneff; the
■day after you will see me, aud 1 will l>e your wife
when you please. The sooner the better.
The Unknown.
It was that she had signed her letters to
that date. On the 12th, Prince 1) was
requested to repair at noon to a property
in the environs of the town, which was in
dicated to him. ‘He flew thither. He was
introduced in a large saloon, where he
waited five mortal minutes. She appeared
at last.
“ Here I am J” 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 Kichencff,
whence she sent to a confidante the letters
which the lover was to continue to receive
from the Capital. Thanks to this subter
fuge, she had been able to have herself
presented to the Prince, and to easily play
a double part. As to the denouement, you
can divine it. The Princess K on the
morrow became the wife of Prince D .
It was the 13th, and the friends wished to
postpone it to the 14th.
“ Not at all,” said the Princess. “It is
two years that we have been waiting for
that thirteenth.”
The Grand Duke could not assist at the
ceremon)', but he sent rich presents to the
bridal pair. I assure you that at this mo
ment at Kichencff they busy themselves
but very little about the Turks or the
Christians; the whole talk is only of the
Prince and Princess I) .

“ Money-getting has become such a ma
niac with men. and so many will get it dis
honestly, if they cannot honestly, that it
seems to me a wise thing to teach more of
our young men the ways and by-ways of
honest money-making. I ’therefore look
upon an Institution that imparts a sound
business education and encourages indus
tries as one of the necessities of the times.”

The Baltimore Gazette asks : “ What
could more pointedly illustrate the eternal
fitness of things than Chamberlain's haste
to pack his carpet-bag and hurry North ?
No longer in a position to rule and plunder,
he will no longer be a citizen of South Car
olina. When the vultures homeward fly
from the battle-torn States of the South,
the fields will wave again with ripe har
vests, and the waste places will once more
blossom as the rose.”

“Newsy, Spicy, Reliable."
The Atlanta Constitution.
Under its new management. The Atlanta Con
stitution has won for itself the title of the leading
journal of the south. Its enterprise, during the re
cent election excitement, in sending correspondents
to different portions of the country, and its series of
special telegrams from Washington while the electo
ral commission was engaged in consumnting the fraud
that placed radicalism once more in power in our na
tional councils, are evidence conspicuous enough to
prove (hat no expense will he spared to make The
Constitution not only n leader in the discussion of
public concern, hut a lender in the dissemination of
the latest and moat reliable news. There is no bet
ter time than now to subscribe for
A Fresh an<l Vigorous Newspaper.
Albeit there has been n yuasi settlement of one of
tin 1 most difficult and dangerous problems of modern
and federal polities, the discussion springing there
from and the results likely to ensue have lost nothing
of their absorbing Interest. In addition to this, the
people of Georgia are now called upon to settle
The Convention Question,
and in discussion of this important subject [in which
The Constitution will take a leading part] every
Georgian is interested. If a convention is called its
proceedings will find their earliest and fullest embodi
ment in the columns of The Constitution, and this
fact alone will make the paper indispensable to every
citizen of the state. To be brief.
The Atlanta Daily Constitution
will endeavor, by all the means that the progress of
modern journalism has made possible and necessary
to hold its place as a leader of southern opinion and
as a purveyor of the latest news. Its editorials wil
be thoughtful, timely and vigorous—calm and argu
mentave in their methods and thoroughly southern
and democratic in their sentiments. Its news will
he fresh, reliable and carefully digested. It will he
alert and enterprising, and no expense will hi' spared
to make it the medium of the latest and most import
ant intelligence.
The Weekly Constitution.
Besides embodying everything of interest in the
daily, The Weekly Constitution will contain a
Department of Agriculture, which will be in charge
of Mr Malcolm Johnson, the well Known Secretary
of Georgia State Agricultural Society. This depart
ment will be made a specialty, and will be thorough
and complete. The farmer will find in it not only
all the current information on the subject of agricul
ture but timely suggestions and well-digested advice.
