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) . Miscellaneous items.

I ’therefore look upon an Institution that imparts a sound business education and encourages indus tries as one of the necessities of the times.” —Horace Greely. 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.

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.

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.
