We translate the following story from a late number of Mr Alexander Dumas' newspaper. It is an extract from one of his letters from St. Pe- Wnlf bnntW and bearhuntin are the favorite pleasures of the Russians. Wolves are hunted in this way in the winter; when the wolves being hungry are ferocious. Three or four hursmen, each armed with a double-barreled gun, ge ,nto a troika, which is any sort of a carriage, drawn by three horses its name being derived from its nrwl nnt from its form. The middle horse trots 'always; the left hand and right hand horses . i J 9 n mu ti must always gallon. iue uuuuiu wiw his head hanging down, and he is called the Snow , i .... --. Fater. The two others have only one rein, nr.O they are fastened to the poles by the middle of the body, and pallop with their head free they are called the Furious. The troika is driven by a sure eo-achman, if there is such a thing in the world as a sure coachman. A pig is tied to the rear of the vehicle by a rope or chain (for greater security) some 12 yards long. The pig is kept in the vehi cle until the huntsmen reach the forest where the bunt is to take place, when he is taken out and the horses started. The pig, not being accustom ed to this gait, squeals, and his squeals soon de generate into lamentations. His cries brings out one wolf, who gives the pig chase; then two wolves, then three, then ten, then fifty wolves all post ing as hard as they can go after the poor pig, fighting among themselve? for the best places, snapping and striking at the poor pig, at every opportunity, who squeals with despair. These squeals of agony arouse all the wolves in the forest, within a circuit of three miles, and the troika is I followed by an immense flock ot wolves, it is . . .... ii. rru l, r... now a good driver is inaispensaoie. ahu uuibw have an instinctive horror of wolves, and go almost crazy; they run as fast as they can go. The huntsmen fire as fast as they can load there is no necessity to take any aim. The pig soueals the horses neih the wolves howl the guns rattle; it is a concert to mate .uepiwsbupiiu.eo jealous. As long as the driver commands his horses, fast as they may be running away, there is no danger. But, if he cease to be master of them; if they baulk, if the troika is upset, there is no hope. The next day, or the day after, or a week afterwards, nothing will remain of the party but the wreck of the troika, the barrels of the o-uns, and the largei bones of the horses, hunts men and driver. Last winterIVir.ce Repnine went on one of these hunts, and it came very near being his last hunt. He was on a visit with two of his lnends to one ot his estates near uie Meppc, a..vx - j tenniued to go on a wolf hunt. They prepared a large sleigh in which three persons could move at case, three vigorous horses were put into it, and they selected for a driver a man born in the coun try and thoroughly experienced in the sport. Kverv huntsman had a pair of double barrel guns with a hundred and fifty ball cartridges. It was ni dit when they reached the steppe; that is an im mense prairie covered with snow. The moon was full, and shone brilliantly; its beams refractel by the'snow gave a light scarcely inferior to daylight. The pig was put out of the sleigh and the hor ses whinped up. As soon as the pig felt that he was dragged he began to squeal. A wolf or two appeared, but they were timid, and kept a Ion ways off. Their number gradually increa?ed, and as their number augmented they became bolder. There were about verity wolves when they came within gun range of the troika. One ol the" party fired; a wolf fell. The flock bacame alarmed and half fled away. Seven or eight hun- ,mo;nn,l behind to devour their dead krl 1. Ul.tr n.uitiiiv,. companion. The gaps were soon filled. On every . 11 1 . MM f 111 t 1 I 1 I V 1 1 side howls answered nowis, on eseiy "-"r noses and brilliant eyes were seen peering. The guns rattled volley after volley; but the flock oi wolves increased instead of diminishing, and soon it was not a flock, but a vast herd of wolves in thick serried columns, which gave chase to the sleigh. The wolves bounded forward so rapidly they seemed to fly over the snow, and so lightly, not a sound was heard; their numbers continued to in crease and increase, and increase; they seemed tr, be a silent tide drawing nearer ana nearer, auu which the guns of the party, rapidly as they were discharged, had no effect on. The wolves formed a vast crescent, whose horns began to encompass the horses. Their number increased so rapidly they seemed to spring out of the ground. Ihcre was something weird in their appearance; for where could three thousand wolves eome from in ueh a desert of snow. The party had taken the i.r into the sleigh; his squeals increased the wolves boldness. 1 he party continueu iu u.o j had now used above half their ammunition and had but two hundred cartridges left while they were surrounded by three thousand wolves, lhe two horns of the crescent became nearer and nearer, and threatened to envelop the party. If one of the horses should have given out, the fate of the whole party was sealed. "What do you think of this, Ivan ?" said Prince Repnine, speak ing to the driver. "I had rather be at home, Prince" "Are you afraid of any evil conse quences?" "The devils have tasted blood and the more you fire the more wolves you 11 have "What do vou thinK tne oesiunug w -v- ..Mt. ik. hu ire faster." Are you sure of n? ." Are you sure of the horses''" "Ycs, Prince." "Are you sure of our safety The driver made no reply. He quicken ed the horses and turned their heads towards home. The horses flew faster than ever. The driver ex cited them to increase speed by a sharp whistle, and made them describe a curve which intersected one of the horns of the crescent. The wolves opened their ranks and let the horses pass. The prince raised hi? gun to his shoulder. "For Al. a ' fi ' oTplnimed the driver. 'We of on lioa s saKe, uui. i - j :e An P FTp oheved Ivan.

THE HAREM OF THE SULTAM. James Brooks, elder of the two brothers editing the New York Express, is now on a foreign tour, and writing to hia paper some very entertaining letters. From the one from Constantinople in Wednesday's jgSS paragraphs. The Sultan is now 3o years oia, ana he does not look much older, but he does look as if he had been wearied, and worried and teased, and candled into a shadow of a man by his harem. The Sultan has only seven bona fide wives that is, wives who have the privilege of producing an heir to the throne But the Sultan has a whole reg.ment ot otber tnat oan be louna of other pretty women, the prettiest in Circassia, or Georgia, or - " e-r , -. .'Mr r s vr nnii ir r t-' r-i in , in in- i i ur. n ,t in an i i i l f T. u,x hie ho.irt ic "ciu. j r- . . ,i I fmi.blf. Thev run him into debt, and though he forbids it, and says he won't pay, yet pay he j does, and almost to his ruin. It is not a wonder, then, that with a harem of such women, he looks wearied and worried for if one wife, in our land, employs and occupies a man, what can no better man do here with seven real wives, and a little army of wives just as real in point of fact? Nearly the whole harem was out to-day, to see him. or to attend him en route for his palace on the Bosphorus, to the Mosque near by. The curiosity of my profession, to say nothing of my curiosity as a man, was piqued to the utmost to see into the curtained carriages of this thus publicly vr..w.il bnrfin T walked then, and of course. rewalked up and down, to steal a look or a stare wherever it was possible. The yaskmak, their veil of muslin, leaves their black eyes all out to human vision, and thin as the gauze often is, we have a good look at the mouth and chin. Then I had the benefit of some European ladies in my company, whose bare-headed hats, and ample hoops were as great a curiosity to the ladies of the haiem as their yaskmaks and flowing robes were to me. Thus it was woman's stare against woman's stare, and the natural curiosity of European and Asiatic women, trave me as good an opportunity to see the pent-up beauties of Constantinople, as any tiiaour is likely ever to have. I was not struck blind by any over-dazzling luminary. The eyes were often quite killing, but there was not that soul in them, that radiating intelligence which can sparkle only from the cultivated mind! Pretty dolls! Charming play things! All glittering in silks or muslins of Broussa, and the diamonds of Golconda! One cannot help wishing to steal them from the tall, sturdy girt, black Eunuchs that guard them, but then what would we do with them if we had them? These blaek Eunuchs, by the way, strike the the oddest ot all odd signts in Constantinople. They are picked men, six feet, or six feet eight inches high, mutilated when young, and raised ior um uuij, ui liuunuiif, i... harems. The chief of the black Eunuchs holds one of the highest positions in the Empire. He has the coutrol of everything belonging to the Imperial Harem and apartment, and the Government of all the Eunuchs; white and blacks. Then from the nature of his office, he has the means of ingratiating himself with the Sultan, and thus becomes powerful as a friend or nn enemy of the officers of State. Hence all white men loot up to him and fear, though they do not love him. I saw the ladies in one of the carriages to-day call up a tall big black fellow of this sort, (I could not find out his rank,) and chat with him in the freest, and easiest, and happiest manner, and upon the outside of the carriage was pointed out to me a son of the Sultan, who affectionately kissed the hand of the negro, after he had left the ladies within ! How They do Things in Indiana. Indiana is celebrated for the few obstacles placed there in the way of divorcing unhappy wives and husbands. The following is said to be a real incident: A few months ago a wealthy and prominent citizen of Kansas an office holder had a wife, to whom he seemed much de oted. Her health was feeble, and (prevented by the demands of his bus iness from accompanying her) he sent her to a southern city to recruit. He recived from her frequent and affectionate letters, dated at that city; and he intended, as soon as his affairs would per mit, to join her there. But recently while on a fcrin to St. Louis, as he was sitting for a few idle moments in the parlor of his hotel, he picked up - f . i an obscure country newspaper published in an in terior town of Indiana. Glancing listlessly over the advertisements, one, which caught his atten tion, riveted his eye to the paper. It was a legal notification to him that his wife had applied for a divorce, and that the case would be tried on the following day, in the county where the paper was published. He was thunderstruck. The truth flashed upon him at once. His wife, while dating her letters from a southern city spoken of, and employing some one to mail them there, had been ..li Lo lime in Indiana lontr enouirh to claim a residence under the peculiar matrimonial laws that State, (which, L Deneve na e mnce uecu modified by the Legislature.) As usual in such cases, she had notified him by publication, relying on the obscurity and limited circulation of the country paper as a guarantee that it would not come within his notice, and expected to get a divorce even before his suspicions were aroused, The half distracted husband rushed upon a train nf ears insft leaving for the East. Arriving at a innMlnn in Indiana where no train would enable , , county seat bv the hour set apart ' " - y i .ii for the trial, he chartered a special locomotive, proceeded there at once, confronted his guilty partner, and put a stop to the proceedings.

Advices from Utah represent affairs in that territory as worse than they have ever been, cither before or since the arrival of the army there. The ill-feeling had reached its culminating point, and the people were on the eve of open hostilities. Differences also exist between Gov. Cumuiing and General Johnston, touching their respective powers, and there is likewise an opon rupture between the Executive and the Jadiciary. The Federal Courts find it impossible to exercipe their functions, the Grand Jury refusing to find bills, and using every other means to screen parties accused of murder and other crituea. i 1 S-t 11 1 l 1 .1 .1 I,-.. 1-, ......... ,t tVin ilirir - n ... . i juajre vraaieoaugu uuu uistuaitcu i t t i li i. i. ... oil eriA d ha(1 Deen eoiupeiiea , Zr Dnsoners in nrisoners in CUSIOUV. vii ine uctsuiuu ui discharge of the iuriea, the Judge charged the Mo uioiid with having obstructed the officers of the ('ourt. suonressed testimony, and refused to make provision for the confinement and maintenance of prisoners. Owing to the excited, state of the popular feeling a detachment of one thousand troops had moved from Camp Floyd, and encamped near Provo. Governor Cumuiing had issued a proclamation, defending the Mormons from the charges made against them. It is not stated whether he had demanded the withdrawal of the troops from Provo. Much bad feeling also existed between the Mormons and United States troops, though those of the latter who are stationed at Provo had behaved with remarkable forbearance. A collision however, between the two parties was considered imminent. A series of letters published in the Salt Lake Valley in giving the proceedings of J udge Cradlc baugh's Court at Provo, explain to some extent the difficulties and disturbances in the Territory. The misunderstanding between Gov. Cumuiing and General Johnston seems to have growu out of the refusal of the latter to withdraw the troops from Provo, which had been sent there under a requisition of the Court, to protect witnesses. Judge Cradlebaugh passed severe strictures upon Governor Cuinming's proclamation, (which has not been received here,) characterizing it as informal, as evidently designed to exasperate the people against the troops, to obstruct the course of justice, and to excite insubordination in the army. Ho also says that instead of the presence of the troops tending to terrify the inhabitants and to intimidate witnesses, the jurors and parties testifying iu behalf of the prosecution have been compelled to seek the protection of the troops against the threats and intimidations of the very inhabitants said to be so terrified. Judge Cradlebaugh, who was sitting merely as a committing magistrate, would go to Camp Floyd the following week to continue the investigation, the testimony elicited implicating several Bishops and Presidents, civil authorities of the Territory, in murders at various times, all of whom fed to escape arrest. Four Grand Jurors discharged by Cradlebaugh had also fled. Cedar City and several other towns in the vicinity of the Mountain Meadows massacres aro almost depopulated. It is also stated that the Indians, about a thousand strong, headed by white men, hid mustered in that neighborhood, who i . .? a. . a I I .. . . L ( express a determination u prevent hw an any one in that section. Judge Cradlebaugh emphatically denies that tho Grand Jury protested against their discharge, as stated by the Deseret News. A Marriage Declared. There was one case of some little interest, which came before the Court last week, says the Clarendon (S. C) Ban ner, to test the validity of a marriage. It eanic up in the form of an action to recover from tho defendant compensation for the board of his wife: "Some eighteen months since, a Marriage cere mony was performed by an individual claiming to be a Magistrate, but who in reality was not, and of the parties united together, the "worse half in tended the thing as a mere jest; but it was suffi ciently evident from the testimony, that the wo man in the case was not only herself very much in earnest, but believed the "gallant gay Lothario" to be equally so. The honey-moon was decidedly a short one as all parties admitted, and the newly j ,nade Benedict departed after an hour or so, un conscious that the silken chain of the paeudo Magistrate were tied in too hard a knot to be un done but by death. The case came upon luesday and the Court very properly decided that the Marriape Contract was valid and binding, and gave a decree for the plaintiff. We need scarcely say that we approve most heartily of the law of xMarriage, as it exists in our State. Nothing further is necessary to establish the validity of a Marriage than the consent of tho parties expressed before competent witnesses. The weaker sex cannot, as in other States, be ira- of . pose(j upon by the fraudulent practice of designing ; men. Anv one may solemnize a Marriage, and the mere deciaratiun of the parties themselves in the absence of any more precise testimony is sufficient ; establish the fact of their Material relation, as our cj0Urts have decided in various instances. i j prayj Mrs. Zabri&ka, why do you whip your hildrfn an nften? . ,.i Mr Wm-thr.
