The Wife ot the Rusulan Uruncl Duico to bo Recognized , I'arlt Letter to the Now York Time ) , The chances are pretty oven , but with slight odd * in favor of the olopo- munt of Mohomot All's graiid-daugli tor with Rome enterprising and tccun- trio Englishman , Paris is the aim rf lier ambition , and as women generally manage to follow the bunt of their in clination , I fancy wo uliall BOO her here next winter , or perhaps sooner , as ehu wanta to join one of her old friends , a certain grand duchosa , whom the czar baa promised to promote to the dig nity of an authentic highness. I moan the spouse of Alexis Aluxan- drovitch Quite a romance is the story ot this affair. Among the ladies of honor of the late Empress Marie was one of her countrywomen - women , a young Hessian of whom she was particularly fond. One evening , when alone with her sovereign , Mlle X. threw herself at the imperial feet , and with many Uars , avowed that nho was loved by the grand duke and re turned his passion , wherefore she besought - sought her majesty to consent to their union. The imperial reply was an immediate order to the petitioner to retire to her family at Darmstadt , and to the prince to join bin squadron In the Baltic. But the august muateri of Russia hnd not calculated upon the strength of trim love , Mulcmoiaellu pot nway from her parents , or more probably was hulpi d by them to mnko tlio jotr- ney , lot k paisaco on the Ctmard flUnmor and joined the man t f her chnico in America , whnre they wore ptivntuly married. You romniutar tlio visit of L'rnnd duke to the Umte.il Suites in 1872 , of course , but neither you nor nny ono else had nn idea that ho wna thoio on n sort of wedding trip. I mil assured , though , that tlio f.icl.s nru ns suted , bu fmcy that there inn chronological rror , nnd that the episode is of much tnoro recent date. However this tniy b - , the p.iir were joined in holy wedlock , nnd thu rnctption of their mar riage cortilicito raised n terrible commotion on the banks of the Nnvn , Disgrnccs nnd vicissitudes of nil kinds followed the exploit ; Alexis wn threntoned nnd c joled to break elf the "disgraceful connection , " but he hold out bravely , nnd na the czur'a own nll'tir with Princess Dolgorouki cmno in the nick of tiino to incline tint paternal heart to indulgence , Alex'indur II. finally agreed to shut hia eyea to hia son's situation , nl- thotigl sternly refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the m.irringu. Like the people' in the fairy land , Aiuxis nnd his bride were very happy , and now , nt the solicitation of thn Czarina , who appreciates the buauticn of u united household , Alex ander ill. proposes to ivo the niiir- ringo lua official sanction. Alexis ia one of the most distinguished mem bers of the imperial family. Ho re- xiMiiblos , in many ways , hia uncle , the Grand Duke Constantine , nnd , be lieving himself much superior , intol- lectuully and physically , to hia broth er ? , for years pinned hia faith on the prediction of it gypsy , by whom it wus foretold tlmt ho would some day be ueated on the throne of the R iinani If At ono tune , indued , circumitaiicas aeem to point to the realization of this prophesy. Thu lirst horn of tin ) c ir diud at Nice , the Grand Duke Alexander , the present empuror , scomcil ttic.qnblu of holding the acuptor , nntl gave no imnnioo of booonung what ho haa bi-cnino , thtinks to hia wife , a deep rhinkfr und imriiost worker , while the Grand Duke Vladimir , nn ell\ minute pleamiro aueker , would have Bold hia birthright lor a casket of jewels. So Alexis appeared to ba the only ono in n condition to succeed hia father. Since this events have upset nil thi'so ' calcuUtinns , but have not dos'roycd IIIH aspir.itinna nf- tur Mivert-ign gr.ideur Ilia dream wua Byzuntinu , the long c erishod se cret ambition of hm uncle Constan tine , but there agiin he waa doomed to disappointment , nnd BO turned toward Asia , whuru he hopes to found an empire. Aa anything and every thing is possible in this world , who knows whether thia duuiuloas energy may not yet present nn imperial crown to her , whom , in the toi'th of nil opposition , ho has aucseodcd in making u princess. A NAIURALIST'3 SEARCH. Around , tlio World in Search of the Sklna of Monlcoya and Utliors Animalu. NCM York Mall mil Kxprers. Prof. Henry A. Ward , whoso largo natural science establishment in Roch ester , N. Y. , has won him national if not universal renown na a collector , taxidermist , paleontologist , and min eralogist , ia n guest nt the Aator house for the present. His mission in this city is one of great importance , nnd will interest every class of readers. About two years ago Prof. Ward , who , it should bu aiid , hold an honorary professorship ut the Rochester uni versity , aold to Mr. Robert Colgate , n public spirited citizen of this city , u striking group of orang-outangs shot by one of the profeajor'o aids , Mr. William T. Hornady , on the Sadong river , Borneo. Mr. Colgate , in hii turn , presented the group to the American museum of natural his tory in Ce'iitrul park They excited much curiosity and admiration there * , being fine specimens of taxidermy , and ua n result Mr. Colgate wua in duced to give Prof. Ward the order to collect for the eumo museum speci mens of ovary monkey in the world About the B'uno tiino Mr. Morris K , Jesup , who waa always greatly inter ested in the welfare of the museum , gave Prof. Wnrd nn order for a com plute collection of thu nummula and birds of the North AiiiKricrn region , consisting of the United States , Can ada , Alaska nnd Greenland. The lirat collection was to cost $7,000 nnd the second 910,000 , In January , 1881 , the professor started on the sixth tour which he hud mudo around the world ninco 1870 , and naturally hia chief ob ject was to fulfill thu orders for U- * Nuw Yuik museum. After vialling almost every country and city of im portance in one-half of the globe , ho returned to thu United States last May , none the worse tor the hardships and fatigues attendant on such n voy- ugo , nntl the i ichor for a number of exceedingly valuable specimens , "Thu portions of the world I visit ed on my present trip , " he said , in answer to a question , "included Am- traliu , Nuw Xualund , the Polynesian nrchlpelugo , thu Malayan islands , Cninu and Japan. First , I went via San Fr.Hicisco to New Xoaland , whore 1 was lucky enough to obtain among other tilings BOIIIO excellent specimens of the remains of n bird called moa dinomis The animal is now altogether extinct , but ita bones can bu found buried in large quantities all over the island. It belongs to the family of thu ostrich , and reaches u respectable height. 1 also obtained a few speci mens of the nptory , a large and al most wingless bird belonging to the ostrich family , and a few of the very rare battcria punotata , the vole representative of the order of rhynchocephulma of lizards. There nre no monkeys whatever in Nuwda - land , The next place I viMled wus Australia , including Van Dieman'a Land. Hero animals of the marsupial family , otherwise known as pouch nn- mala , of which the kangaroo is the most ordinary good specimens which 1 lent homo ready for glutting. I furthermore found gocd tppcimcns of irinthorinci , those peculiar nninnls with the hond and web foot of a duck nnd the body of n beaver. From Australia I traveled Is the Dutch poajcftsinnn in Kist India , composed of the Islands of Java , Borneo and Malacca This ia whore I first came across really fine monkey specimens. They wrro chiefly orang utanss ( inme of thorn very largo nntl anvngo Tnoy live in inaccessible ptrta of the country wlu-ro thick forests abound , but nt certain noa&ons of the year when the lower country is inundated they come down in largo numbers to oat the durlon fruit , Then the na tives act upon them and capture them by the dozens. Many tine specimens were brought to my honilquartors nt Suranok , the capital of Borneo , and some of them will bo ready soon for thu American museum. "My next voyage wns to the Malay peninsula and Sinni , where , however , I captured little besides snakes. But thoHO wore not to bu despised. Sumu of my boa-constrictors are eighteen to twenty foot loin ; , and Hums also some excellent specimens of pythons. In Cliina , wlii'ro I now wont , I found doer nnd pheasants in any quantity , nnd helped myself plentifully. I needed oniy to visit the markets for what I wanted in this re- rpect. To my surprise I found that thu tiger had beootuo ncclinnited in China , nnd not only there but in such a northern country ns Coroa. There thn nniiiiitl'ii hiiir is lout' and shaggy , nnd much of its southern fiorcunoaa bus been replaced with lethargy. In lapun I found many monkeys. Ltku the Corenn tiger , thu clim.ito has had its rlicet on thorn. Their fur ia lung nnd bushy and they are comparatively tamo. I wan nHtuniahed to find these creatures wading through thu snow with evident delight , BO thoroughly had they become acclimated. Wild boars and peasants nru perfectly nt ho.iu in Japan , and no are moat of our domestic animals. Fioin Japan I re turned to S < iii Francisco , nnd reached my home in Uocliontor in May. Of courae , while collecting animals I did not neglect thi ) other departinontfl , nnd I have enriched my tnatitu.ion with numberless birdn , fossils , ores with something of ovr-rytlung pertain ing to natural history , in short , ex cepting insects.

Tn Choctnw- county , Alabama , .thu 15i.li inst. , a bundle of papers disclosing a well or ganized plot among the nrgroos to kill the entire white population of that county , was found near ono of their rendezvous by two gentlemen , who- laid the matter before the solicitor. Oa the 10th n quiet meeting of the ciiisitftis of Mount Sterling mid Butler wna called at Bailer to consider the best mndo of suppressing the intend ed outbreak and massacre. Alter dis cussion it wna agreed that the follow ing ringleaders Jack Turner , F. D. B rney , Jesse Wilson , Peter Hill , Willis Lyman , Aaron Scott and t tan go West , to whom hud boon assigned the duties of lending the respective f quads to Butler , Mount Sterling , Deaota- ville und other places nnd killing nil whites nt each plnce , should bo nrrosted and lodged in j-iil. Their nrreat wna cilVotod the J7th without disturbance or bloodshed , The same day n mass , mooting of citizens of nil classes waa called for Saturday to dccido the fnto of the prisoners. The plot had been in cxiMemco aiuco 1878 nnd the con spirators now number 400. They have powder , shot nnd tuna nnd think ( .IioniHolves autliciently strong to nc- compliph their fiendish design. Sun day liight , the 17th of September , had be-on appointed for its consummation. The papers further showed that thia day wna selected because then the white people would bo nt n ciimp mooting niiel unarmed nnd could oiler no roaistence. The meeting cillcd for Siturd iy brought together about 700 men , among whom , were about 100 ncgroon , who , nftor hearing the papers read , by an almost unanimotia vote decided that Jack Turner waa a turbulent nnd danger ous character , n regular firebrand in the community , and that thu public demanded hia immediate death. Ho was accordingly hanged ab'iut 1:15 : the same afternoon in the presence of the assembled multitude. The crowd then dispersed and all signs of iho disturb nco ceased. Everything was. quiot-Saturday night Tbo other pris' oners are still in jail to awaitt'furtfii developments. CAPITAL. NOXES. poclil Dlspttch to Till DIM. A MINING CASK. WARHINOTON , August 21. In the long pending case of the Djun Richmond mend mining company vs. Broncho company's claima for certain mineral tracts of land for certain mineral tracts of laud at Tucson , Arizona , Acting Secretary Joslyn to-day ren dered a decision in favor of the former. The decision cites that the allowance of the application by the re ceiver , who was acting aa register by order of the commissioner of the gen eral land office , during siiBponsion of that ollicor by the president , was nn act of a di'f.ic'.o . officer , and that the entry should be admitted accordingly. THE BTAU UOUTE TUIAL. Totlon , counsel for Hrady , called at tention to the fact that there was not one order in proof which had boon ' * * mudo by Br.idy. E/ory order pre sented wua merely a memorandum not signed by Thomas J. Brady , but simply signed "Brady. " There .waa not a word of evidence to show that Brady had ever certified an order to the aixth auditor. Was a man to bo gu nsed into prison ? or presumed into jikil ? Charges hud been made against Turner. How in the name of decency had poor Turner been draugod into trial ? What had ho d no ? Even Kerr had been bound to _ admit ho could suy naught ngninut him. It was ono of the grossest outragca over per petrated on an innocent man. Some other motive than vindication of the law was nt the bottom of this ex traordinary proceeding -thia extra ordinary grouping of men from all parts of the land , He was ready to niako wuger that thia identical kind of prosecution could bo carried OIL ugainst any publio officer who waa charged with the disbursement of money. It could bo commented upon with just na much venom aa thia caao hud been commented upon , that the secretary of war hud sent two rogi- mentato Tongue river in order to de fend the settlers.
