The Empress of Buggla, From the memories of the Count da Reiset I translate the following, as he is the last of au old school of diplomats who leave thoir mark at every Court iu Europe, carrying hence in return recol lections and regrots which they are one day sure to publish. Thirty-nine years ago in January the Oraml Duke Alexan der of Russia set out, accompanied by Count Orloff, and a numorous suite, to visit, the various Courts of Germany, whoro Princesses, marriageable and suit able, were otiieiully reported to exiat. He went to Berlin, of course, and to sev eral other of tho North German capitals. He arrived shortly afterward at Frauk fort, and put up at the Hotel de Russio. But no marriageable Princesses woro to be found at Frankfort, at that timo a free Republic. It was only to be tho halting place for the night, and Carlsruhe their goal, wnero tne princess Alexandnna, w ho af terward became Duchess of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, and the Princess Marie of Baden, afterward Duchess of Hamilton, and the mother of the Princess of Monaco, whoso divorce suit at Roino is a cause cekbre, formod a pair of the greatest attractions in Germany. Tho imporinl travelers were leaving Frankfort, tborefore, when tho Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt sent an in vitation to the Grand Duke, bogging his company at tho neighboring eastlo of Darmstadt. The young Prince some what unwillingly accepted the invitation. The dinner was a family one, and the young Princess Marie did not appear. Alexander was even ignorant of her ex istence, for her nauio had not appeared on tho official list of German princesses aspiring to tho hand of the first of conti nental princes. In the evening, how ever, the Grand Duko, while passing the dining-room of tho castle, met a young lady accompanied by Mile, de Grancy, her gouvernante. They wore going to the drawing-room for tea, and the young lady modestly stepped aside to allow the Prince to pass. Seeing this young girl, so naire and so gentle, the Grand Duke askod of the Hessian nobleman who she was. " Tis her Highness, tho Princess Ma rie oi Hesse. . "Indeed," said tho Grand Duke; "how old is she?" Immediately on reaching tho dining room he begged to be presented to her. The Princess Marie was an admirable young girl modest, simplo and charm ing. Bhe had been brought up some what in the Cinderella fashion in the family of Hesso. The Grand Duke was struck still more by her retiring good uess and modest beauty, and during the evening conversed with her frequently. On his return to Frankfort the Grand Duke scarcely spoke a word to tho gen tlemen of his suite, and retired at once to his apartments. The following morn ing Count Orloff (now Russian Ambassa dor elect to London) waited on the prince to receive his orders and to learn the hour he had fixed for his departure for Baden. "My dear Count," said the Grand Duke, "we need go no further, I have made my choice; my journey is at an end." "What?" replied Count Orlig, aston ished, "what choice has your Imperial Highness made?" "I shall marry the Princess Marie of Hesse if she will do me the honor of granting me her hand." "But," said the Count, "from every point of view snch a thing is impossible. The Princess Marie has not even been placod on the list of German princesses now marriageable. She is in weak health, and, moreover, too young. Your high ness has not yet seen tho Baden prin cesses, and the Grand Duko would be offended if you did not go to Carlsruho!" "If necessarry, for politeness' sake, I shall go to Carlsruhe; but I spent all nighjt reflecting, and I shall only marry Princess Marie, who belongs to a family that has already given Russia one em press, and which is one of the most illus trious and ancient in Germany." Count Orloff was in despair at this definite speech, and wrote off at once to the Emperor Nicholas. Indeed, this news was received with astonishment in tho Imperial Family. The Princess Marie was known scarcely at all, having, since the death of her mother, been brought up privately by Mile, de Granoy. The most intimate friends of the Imporial family did their utmost to thwart such au alliance. But the Emperor Nicholas, whose affection for his son was unbounded, would not oppose his inclination, and said almost publicly, in order to put an end to the various rumors afloat: "Prin cess Marie of Hesse, like all otuer uer man princesses, is to be found in the Gotha Almanack. She is, moreover, a charming young lady, who will make the happiness of our son. Both the Empress and myself think that Alexander ought to marry according to his liking." It mav bo easily imagined wLat joy this news caused to tne nesmuu uuu.ij. From that moment the gaze of tho whole of Europe was directed to that young girl, bo modest and so accomplished, who was soon to ascend one of the great est thrones in tho world. From the Count de Reiset I cease to quote, but must add, by the light of my own brief exiierimee in touring to and from St. retersburfi', that I have never heard but one voice of love and admira tion for this Empress, who never forgot her maiden simplicity, modesty and vir tuous bearing. She was born on tne Bth of August, 1824, and married the Mil ol April, 1811, just about four months after tho accidental meeting at Darmstadt I have described from Count de Relets memoirs. London Curr. llalUnw Sun. After familv prayer, a few evenings since, a little Quincv boy asied: "Mamma, how can God hear folks pray when h's so far away?"

A mxxl storv Is told of Prince Alexander, of Holland. The Prince, a youug man of rather staid and literary tastes, uiid a visit to Berliu 'art Summer, and a review was given in hi honor by the Imperial Court. Mili tary pageants form an integral part of every grand procession in tne Prussian capital; but Prince Alexander, with little inclination for soldiery, sat in hilent con templation while the troops were defiling before him. All at once the Crown Prince drew the guest's attention to a L'hlun regiment, with the remark that they were tine body of men." "Yes," replied Prince Alexander, "but they are not tall enough." This reply, delivered with the original Dutch phlegm, a little surprised his interlocutor, who, however, tperely observed: "Very well, then you must see my cuirasMera." The cuirass iers, erect iu their saddles, like men-at-arms of the Middle Ages, went by in breast-plates and plumes. "Well, what do you think of them?" asked Prince Fritz. "Splendid men, but not tall enough." Still more piqued than aston ished at this unexpected response, the heir to the crown of Germany exclaimed : "indeed ! then wait till you see the regi ments of the guard." In duo Jiino these magnificent six-footers made their ap pearance, and the same query fell from tho lips of the Crown Prince. "They are not tall enough," very quietly returned Prince Alexander, adding gently but meaningly, "We can flood our country, when we choose, twelve feet deep." H osteal last Ad vane aT.
