FROZEN RUSSIA.
Ron. Alphonao Tnft'n I)ncrlptlon of Uto
In tlio Cznr's Country.
Judge Alphonso Taft, of Ohio, Min
Btor to ltussia, gives somo interesting
Information about that country to an
Jiterviowor. About his lato post at
St. Petersburg as Minister to Russ1a,ho
laid:
"It is a very pleasant place for dip
Jomatic service The Czar and al
his court are very civil, polito and
:ordial with tho representatives of
foreign countries. I was happy to find
m tho diplomatic representatives of
other Governments at St. Petersburg
men of cordiality and sociability,mak
ing tho residence thcro very agrecablo
Tho officials of Russia aro wonderfully
pleasant. Tho Czar is a man of ox-
ixeceding amiability and kindness
I mot him often at Petershoff, whero
ho expressed tho highest admiration
'or American cntcrpri3o, industry and
invention. Tho Empress is a model
of a wife, devoted to her family, and
very useful m court society.
"Did vou find tho climate rigorous?'
"Tho winter season, which is by
many considered objectionablo, is tho
zlorv of tho year m be. Petersburg.
did not find tho weather bo cold as I
exnected. and actually suffered less
from that sourco lust winter than I
liavo from tho Banio causes in other
countries. Their houses aro built air
tight. Tho windows aro all double
In winter thev aro ill scaled. Provis
ion ismado for fresh air by ventilation
in tho windows. It don t como m un
bidden. Tho manner of heating con
tributes to comfort. Tho lurnaco
docs not civo out a great heat, but a
comfortablo one, whilo Htovcs aro
placed in all tho rooms to supplement
tho lurnaco, so vou can navo tno torn
porature jnst as you desire it. There
is no uiuicuiiiy or rroumo auouc ven
tilation. They provido wonderfully
ngainst tho cold in their dress.
You havo a fur suit and overshoes to
put on when you go out, and they aro
bo perfect that you aro as conuortauio
outdoors as in. You never go out or
como in without putting on or taking
ofl your furs. Thus tho weather has
no impression on you. The people o
to parties, receptions, balls and din
ners regardless of rain, snow, sleet or
icro. You would think tho horses
would bo unablo to stand it in cold
weather, but they do. They havo no
blankots for horses. Tho beat ani
mals aro black stallions. They will
fit ay out in tho cold all night. Tho
drivers Btay out, too. Tho drivers
aro all bundled up so tho cold can not
touch them. I do not think tho
weather is so much colder than our
winter as generally supposed. It is
certainly more ovon, and gives less
discomfort."
"How about Nihilism?"
"Very little appears on tho surfaco
In Russians regards Nihilism. My im-
Cression is that tho government has
cen so persevering, and tho police bo
skillful m detecting tho projects of
that kind, that they havo pruttymucli
annihilated Nihilhisin. It may turn
out differently, becnuso tho Nihilists
aro not likely to ndvortiso publicly
their purposes,if any had beon formed.
Tho government has been exceedingly
dilligont in lerreting out all their pro
jects. I havo seen no Nihilists and
liavo had no opportunity for coining
at tho prceiso objects ontortained by
them. Really St. Petersburg is about
tho worst ploco to go to learn about
Nihilism. Thoro is not much recogni
tion in Russia of any other liberalism
than Socialism and Nihilism. Ono
hoars nothingof Republicanism. It is
not obnoxious to public opinion as
Socialism and Nihilism, and tho gov
Drnmont has no occasion to talk
about it. As tho press is con
trolled by tho government thoro
is no talk about it. This is somo
what truo of tho rntirocontinent. Tho
pcoplo of Eurorc) aro not generally
hostile to Republicanism. Tho'Jovorn
incuts havo no motive to promoto it.
Hut it does not profit thorn to dismiss
it. Thoy do net caro to censure it,
becauso it is not obnoxious. Their
censure falls on Socialism and Nihil
ism." "What of Rusnian civilization?"
"It can bo spoken of as improving.
Can not say us to tho goneral intelli
ionco among t ho people, but material! v
thero is improvement and that will
eventually bring tho other. An era
of material improvement began with
the emancipation of tho sorfs.
"Tho greatest attention is paid to
tho army and tho improvements of
tho military forco much nioro than to
popular education. Thoy havo in
stitutions for tho education ol tho
children of tho hotter classes, but with
nothing like tho advantages that aro
lavished in tho schools of military ed
ucation. Thoy havo a tremendous
army. It is nearly as largo as tho
armies of both Gormany and Austria.
All tho Executive otlicers of tho Kin
piro aro connected with thoarmy. Rus
sia is paying moro attention to naval
armament, a significant fact when
considered in tho light of recent ovents
and hor great military force. As to
advancement, I havo heard since 1
landed hero that the Czar has decided
to grant a constitution tothocountry.
I heard nothing of it before I loft. I
havo beon surprised that it has been
so long deferred. Tho Constitution
will probably givo tho country a Legis
lature to enact tho laws, subject-to
tho approval of tho Czar. A J. present
tho Czar is absolute for all Russia. It
is tho most absolute despotism in tho
world. Tho Czar has councilors who
endeavor to mnko it a reasonable
government, just as they do in other
countries, A Constitution would make
a great chango in that country, and a
favorablu one.
"Tell mo somothing of tho country."
"It is a vast and wonderful country.
It has fertile as well as waste lauds.
Tho northern part is barren and in
somo parte uncultivated, Fiom Wir
ballen to St. Petersburg, a distance
of five hundred miles, tho coun
try in monotonously dreary. In
Central and Southern Russia
tho black lands aro fertile, and pro
duce a wonderful growth!9of grai$i
These plains rival an American prai
rio in productiveness. If wo had not
an advantago in so many railroads to
collect and bring our grain to market
cheaper, I think they would beat us.
Wo havo better transportation and
communication in every way for our
agriculturists. They havo petroleum
in greater abundanco, I think, than
havo. I think it is just as good as
ours But they aro not as skillful yet
in rehning it. You can get it for half
tho price. They put on a big tariff to
keep ouih out. They burn petroleum
and candles in tho palaces and houses,
and gas in tho streets. Tho great light
at tho big balls is furnished by a host
of candles in great copper and brass
chandeliers, those metals being cheap.
They not only protect petroleum,
but all manufactured products,
and are thereby getting a large
manufacturing interest. Thcro is
not much American capital in tho
country now. Formerly thero was
somo trado at St. Petersburg, but now
it is all gone. There is a largo colony
of Englishmen there, who havo grown
wealthy in trado, but tho policy of the
Government does not encourage them
and their numbers aro lessening, Wi
nans, of Baltimore, built tho railroad
from St. Petersburg to Moscow, and
owned a largo interest in it. But he
sold out somo time ago. Ho tnado a
creatdeal of money in the transaction.
Tho Russian Government is inflexibly
sot against tho Jews. They will not
let them trado thcro, unless they are
citizens subject to tho Czar. Tho Jews
camo to the United States and got out
naturalization papers. Then they
went back, began to trade, and soon
owned whole towns. When called on
to perform military service, they pro
duced their papers."
A Case of Mistaken Identity.
I am not sum whether tho partic
ulars of a most rcmarkablo caso ol
doubtful identity havo reached you
by telegraph or mail. They aro bo
peculiar and bo important in their
legal bearing as to desoryo mention
oven at the risk of repetition. Adam
W. Smith was tried at Fitchburg,
tho other day, for having obtain
ed $500 at Worcester by pass
ing a forged note. Ten unimpeachable
citizens testified to his being tho man
who passed tho noto and two experts
identified as his writing tho indorse
ment on its back. But now camo
twico ten most rcspcctablo citizens of
Dutchess County, N. Y., who swore
ho was in that vicinity drivinga herd
of cattlo at tho timo tho noto was
passed. His movements woroall trac
ed out and his lodging places estab
lished for every night. Tho alibi was
throughly established and ho was ac-
Suitted. It was clear that ho had a
oublo. It will bo remembered hv
somo that very rcspcctablo witnesses
testihed on tho .rial of Dr. Webster
for tho murder of Parkman that thev
saw tho supposed victim inthostrcets
of Boston after ho was dead, accord
ing to tho theory of tho prosecution.
It was shown in rebuttal that Mr.
Georgo Bliss, of Springfield, closely
resembled Dr. l-nrknian, and that ho
was in tho city tho day mentioned by
tho witnesses, and ho tho defendant
was acquitted without impeachment
of tho veracity of tho opposing testi
mony. Tho mistake was ono very
like that just mado and liko that which
has afforded llonry Irving ono of tho
best opportunities for tho display ol
ins uraiuauc powers.
Shooting: Stars and Meteorites.
From tho Now York Sun.
Prof. Ball, tho well-known astrono
mer royal for Ireland, makes a concise
distinction between shooting stars and
meteorites, which aro popularly re
garded as tho same. In tho case ol
tho former Prof. Ball remarks one
special point, namely, that cortain
groat showers aro poriodical, and al
ways come from tho saino parts ot tho
heavens tho infereneo from theso re
curring poriods being that tho orbit of
tho earth then cuts the orbit in which
a mass of theso is movini!. With this
fact of recurrenco is another, viz, that
certain comets aro periodical, and,
from a comparison of their supposed
t .. -11. jl f
urims wiiu inoso oi groups oi uieso
bodies, a connection between them is
supposed, whatever may bo tho origin
ot coinots, which is not yet known.
Meteorites, on tho contrary, remarks
Dr. Ball, aro never known to como from
tho direction of a comet path, and, if
carefully examined, are seen to bo frag
ments of somo rock or rocks, closely
analogous, too, to our earth's volcan
ic rocks. The professor thinks that,
examining all tho planets in turn, it
seems improbablo that tho meteorites
originate irom any of them, it being
much moro likelv that thev wero in
former times of greater volcanic ac
tivity an von up. from the earth itself,
and they again, after tho lapsoof imes,
moot tho earth in its orbit.
Wlioro Public Schools Fall.
From tho Brooklyn Mngatino.
It is a curious fact that many city
boys reach tho end of the school course
without boing able to tell what a mon
ey wrench is or describe a cross-cut
saw, or define tho uses of a turning
athe, while a piston, a steam box or a
throttle valve aro all far beyond their
ken. They can, however, tell tho num
ber of elementary sounds in the Inn-
guago and tho significance of thewholo
cluster of diacritical marks, all ol
winch soon fade out ot their minds.
In tho limited time that tho
state has tho privilege ol teaching
children in tho Twelfth Ward, itseoms
absurd to proceed with them with the
circumstance that marks tho work in
ho schools on tho Hill, whero the
children will stay twice as lone: yot
ma is tho present system. To change l
it means mo risK oi a demagogic cry oi
ono school for tho rich and another
for tho poor. Accordingly, the poor
Bullor. Somo liberty should bo allow
ed to a principal to suit tho education
ho directs to tho necessity of those
under his caro, that tho boy who must
bo bread-winning at twelve, shall not
bo despoiled of valuable timo in ascer
taining to a shade tho fourteen sounds
of tho vowel "a."
Lincoln on the Battlefield. ?
Mrs. General Custer In thoChleago Tribune.
Our MinisteitJo tho Argentino Re-
apnblic has been telling mo of a scene
which has as yet been unpublished.
Being the personal friend of tho late
President of tho Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, ho asked the official to tell
him tho truth regarding an accusation
pgainst tho President during the dark
flays of our war. A newspaper para
graph went tho rounds attributing to
Mr. Lincoln a want of solemnity in
singing a frivolous song at tho very
outposts oi our nuvancepicKets. air.

coln on many a journey to tho front,
pave tho truo version of tho Btory
from which tho garbled account had
been first evolved. General Mc-
Clellan sent for tho President in a
critical hour, and ho responded by
Btarting at once. They had no soon
er alighted from tho car on reaching
headquarters than Secretary Stanton
approached General McCIellan and
brusquely addressed nun by saying:
"Why aro you delaying an advance?
What keeps you from hurling this
army on to tho foe?" "I havo asked
the President and vou to como per
Bonallv." said tho General, "that you
might seo for yourself tho neces
sity of reinforcements, tno depleted
ranks of our army, tho broken
condition to which tho last engage
went has reduced us." Meanwhile
tho dead ar.d wounded wero being car
ricd from thebattleiield. Tho lantern

plain Bhono out like hreines as they
(irogrcssed. As ono stretcher was
mssing Mr. Lincoln ho heard thovoico
of a lad calling to his mother in agoniz
ing tones. His great heart filled. Ho
forgot tho crisis of tho hour. His very
peing concentrated itself m the cries of
the dying boy. Stopping tho carriers
ho knelt, and bending over him asked:
''What can I do for you, my poor
child?" "Oh, you will do nothing for
mo." ho replied: "iou aro ayankce.
I cannot liopo that my messages to
my mother will ever reach her." Mr.
Lincoln's tears, his voico full of tho
tenderest love, convinced tho boy
of his sincerity and he gavo his good-
bvo words without reserve. 'J-hoprcs-
iidentdirected them copied and ordered
that they bo Bent that night, with a
ilag of truce, into tho enemy s hues,
lo only told the soldier who ho was
to convince him that his word would
bo oboyed, and when told that timo
;wns precious, as the distant outposts
(mist yet bo visited, hcarosoreluctnnt
y and entered tho ambulance. With
fobs and tears ho turned to Mark
iCinon, his friend, and said: "Mark,
hiy heart is breaking. Sing mo some
thing; sing tho old song I love, 'Oft in
the Stilly Night.'"
Too Much for a "Bass.
A bat How into tho billiard room of
finhotcl at Greenwood Lako tho other
evening, and was knocked down by
ono of tho players who struck it with
p billiard-cue. It lluttcrcd behind
ponio wine-cases, and was not found
until next morning, when ono of the
boys pulled it from its hiding-place
and tossed it into a boat, in which
Cofair, tho guide, who was about to
cross tho lake. A fisherman occupy
ing tho stern seat laid asido his tncl'la
and picked up the bat to oxamino it.
Ho found that ono of tho creature's
wings was broken, and in turniing it
over got his finger too close to its
mouth. In an instant, four needle-like
teeth wero driven into his finger-tip,
and with an exclamation of pain and
anger he shook tho bat loose and cast
t out on tho surfaco of the lako. As
tho maimed creature fluttered about
in tho water tho guide stopped rowing
to watch it, and his passenger sucked
his fincer and muttered a few deep-
drawn imprecations.
suddenly, with a swirl and splash,
a magnificent bass, fully eighteen
nches long, eniiulled tho bat m his
capacious jaws and shot full length
out of tho water. "Served him right,"
Baid tho victim of the creature's teeth,
and, turning to tho guide, ho asked:
"What's tho matter with getting somo
more bats for bait?"
Before tho guide could answer tho
bat rose to the surface, crushed, but
Rt ill gasping. Cofair smiled as ho said:
"I thought that a black bass was hog
enough to eat almost anything, but I
guess a bat is a little too strong even
for a bass." Philadelphia Times.

A New Haven, Conn., dispatch says:
"Whilo tho Rev. Mr. Clark was preach
ing in east Haven Congregational
Church, and had finished tho prayer
preceding the sermon, a dovo alighted

tho congregation, and began cooing.
When ho had finished his prayer tho
dovo perched on tho gallery railing op
posite tho clergyman. When ho read
tho first chapter of St. John's Gospel
fit tho thirty-second verso "I saw tho
spirit descending from heaven liko a
dove, and it abode about him" the
dovo flow to thodesk and perched upon

ho conclusion tho pnstor engaged in

that tho winged visitor might bo taken

Tho Bank of England has been guard
ed every night sinco 1780 by a picked
body of soldiery, which consists of
two sergeants, two corporals, a drum
mer and 20 privates, all under tho
command of a chosen subaltern. Tho
guard goes on duty between 5 and 7
o'clock in tho evening, according to
tho season. The officer is given a din

is given half a crown.each corporal 18
pence, and each private a shilling daily

It is just fifty years ago that tho
construction of tho first French rail
road, that from Paris to St. Germain,
was officially sanctioned. Tho lato
Emil Pcreiro undertook to mako this
lino at his own expense. It had taken
nearly three years to obtain tho con
sent of tho authorities, tho contention
of Thiers being that railroads could
never bo moro than mero toys, whilo
Arazo also doubted their utility. Tho
financial difficulties wero also great,
and only surmounted when tho Roths
childs and Davillers wero won over.
Tho road was opened in 1837, and be
came tho nucleus of tho western sys
tem. Ono of tho largest fruit farms in tho
world is situated in the southern part
of Florida, and is owned by E. A.
Osborn, of Middleton, N. Y. It com
prises 2,500 acres, and is covered with
over 2UU,00U cocoanut trees, bo far
the undertaking has cost over $100,
000. As tho cocoanut only thrives
south of tho frost lino and near tho
coast, tho owner of this farm has a
practical monopoly of that trade in
Florida.
Tho following is a dramatic criticism
in an Arizona paper: A company of
duffers gavo a show last night at Bar
ney Hill's. They played a dizzy snap
called "Hamlet." Wo never heard of
the drama before, and wo never want
to see it again. It is tho snidest thing
in tho way of a show that wo over fell
up against. Thero ain't no horses,
singing, lighting or dancing in tno
whole blamed shebang. '1 hero was a
lively dog fight in tho niiddlo of tho
play that was a great success. Tho ac
tors wero not killed, but tho duck that
played Hamlet was tarred and feath

quickness of loading and firing. The
range is up to about 0,000 yards, but
tho ehorgo of powder is very largo,

heavy recoil is obviated by the car
riages being fitted with brakes. Tho
projectiles are fitted in tho base with
a copper driving-ring, by which rota
