News and Miscellany.

“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”
The Grand Duke Alexis has arrived from Russia on his visit to the United States. The feeling between the United States and Russia must be most cordial, judging from the reception given to the prince, which the papers state was more magnificent than that ever accorded to any other man who has visited our shores. The apartments that have been fitted up for him in Washington are such that the imagination is fairly bewildered by a description of their gorgeousness.
New York, Nov. 22.—Soon after the arrival of the Grand Duke at his apartments at the Clarendon Hotel, he dispatched the following message to his father by cable:
To the Emperor of Russia, St. Petersburg: Entry, cordial and magnificent. Reception, parade of militia and general holiday in the city. (Signed), ALEXIS.
The same dispatch was sent to the Empress of Russia in the Crimea.
