that alongside the coachman was sit
ting the functionary with cocked hat
and feathers, whose presence is a pecu
liar feature of the household of Am
bassadors here, and who always ac
companies the carriage when official
visita are made. At last, finding the
policeman obdurate, the friend to
whom I have referred went off and
searched for one of the head office r s of
the police, who, after some argument,
consented to allow the widow to enter.
None the less, the regulation was en

•well-known lady, the Princess Mesh-
[ qjierslfy,, also an old friend of the
family, was ruthlessly turned bàck by
the police.- Another Princess only
managed to get in by waiting patiently
in her carriage until some one in
authority should arrive. At length a
General of-the (Tzar's suite, with whom
she was acquainted, drove up and es
corted her into the church. It need
hardly be said that this conduct of the
police has excited a good deal of in
dignation among the sufferers, but it is
a familiar feature of the Czar’s move
ments, and the police excuse their»
selves on the ground that they are
bound to take every precaution to pro
tect the person of the sovereign, from
Nihilist attacks.

Anichkoff Palace on the Nevsky, the
surroundings of which are well guard
ed by soldiers or police. Quite a
»warm of superintendents and other
superior police officers are kept on
duty day and night in the vicinity, and
in front of the palace no one is allowed
to linger. The Czar frequently drives
out in an open sledge; but, although
he may seem unprotected, the route he
intends to take is always well manned
with police. The latter have not yet
got over the bitter lessoh.taught by the
late Emperor's death. I know of no
more melancholy spot than that on the
Catherine canal, where a gloomy
hoarding incloses the fatal spot where
the Nihilists caught Alexander II. ai if
in a trap. The quay is narrow, and
but slightly frequented by the public.
Cnee the Emperor reached it escape
