remarkable document known ae " The

meaeuree of Ruseia for her self-aggrandize-

mentioned in, 1812, but it was not
until 1836 that it was made pub-
lic in complete form, when it was alleged
that it had been brunoht to Paris in 1757
by the Chevalier d'1 on, who discovered it
while making an authorized search among

apocryphal, it is sufficiently intercetin4 to
warrant re•publieation in this ea election,

THE WILL.
1. The Russian nation must be constantly
on a war footing to keep the soldiers war -
lie and in good condition. No rest mast
allowed except for the purpose of re --
lining the State finances, • teoruiting the
army or bioing the favorable moment for
attack. By tbeee means peace ie made
subservient to war and war to peace, in the
interest of the aggrandizement and inoreas-
ing prosperity of hussies.

invite from the moet •onitivated European
fates commanders in warend philoeo-
bers in peace, to' enable the Russian
Cation to participate in the advantages of
other countries without losing any of its
own. ,
3. No opportunity must be lost in taking
part in the affairs and disputes of Europe,
especially, in there of Germany, which,
from ite vicinity, is of the most direct
interest to ne.

send Russian troops into the country, and
let them sojourn there so long that they

of Europe.
14. Should the improbable case happen
of both rejeotingg the propositions of Rus-
sia, then oar policy will betoset one against
the other -and make- them eceirr east ether
to pieces. Ruedia must then watch for and
seize the favorable moment and pour her
already assembled hosts into Germany,
while two immense fleets, laden with
Asiatic hordes and convoyed by the armed
squadrons of the .Engine and the Baltic, set

5. We must take away as mnoh terri-
tory as poeeible from Sweden and contrive
that they:eh-Ail attack no first, eo as to give
, ns a pretext for their buojugation. With
this objeot in view we utast keep. Sweden in
opposition to Denmark, and Denmark to
Sweden, and sedulously foster their mutual
jealousies.
6. The consorts of the Rnesian princes
most always `be ahoseg Liam among the
German princesses, in order to multiply
-owe farmlearriliauccee with -the -Germania and
ao unite our intereets with theirs; and thus
by donsolidating our influence in Germany
to cause it to attach itself spontaneonelyao
our policy.
7 We must be careful -to keep up our
commercial alliance with England, for elle
is the Power which has most need of our
products -for her navy, and at the same
time may' be of the greatest service to min
the development of our own. We meet
export wood and other articles in exchange
for ber 'gold and establish permanent oon-
nection between hermerohante and 'seamen
and our own. -
8. We must keep steadily extending our
,fuontiers�__ nOrthward'alangthe—Saltie-find
southward along the shores of the Black
Sea.
9. We must progress as much as possible
in the d.reution of Constantinople and
India: He who can once get possession of
these places, Tin the real ruler of •the world'.
With this view we most provoke constant
quarrels at one time with Turkey and at
another with •Persia. We most establish
wharves and decks in the Emain°, and by
degrees make ourselves., masters of that sea
as well as of the Baltic, which is a doubly
important element .in the success of our
plan. ' We mast hasten the downfall of
Persia, pdeh on into the Persian Gulf if
posaible, re-establish the ancient commer-
toial interoonree with the Levant through
Syria and force our way into the Indies,
whiob are the storehouses of the world.
Once there we_ oan dispense with English
ld.
10. Moreover, we most take pains to
ablish and maintain an intimate union
with Austria, apparently countenancing
her Mime for fninte aggrandizement in
Germany sod all the while 'secretly rous-
ing the, jealousy of the minor States
against her. In thie 'way we must bring
is to pass that one or the other party shall.
seek aid from Russia'; and time we shall
exercise a sort of . protectorate over the
oonntry, which will pave the way for future
eupremaoy.
11. We must make the house of Austria
.Interested in the expulsion of the Turks
from -Europe, and we must neutralize ite
jealousy at the capture of Constantinople,
either by preoccupying it with a war with
•the old European-tatee.or by allowing it
II °bare of the spoil, which we oan after=
Verde resents at our leisure.
We must collect around. our house, as
round a'ceintre, ell the detached sections of.
Greeted which are enstterpd abroad in Hun-
gary, Turkey and South Poland. We must
make them Look to ne for eupport,and then,
by etteblishing b -forehand m sort of. mile -
identical supremacy, tee shall pave the way
for universal sovereignty.
13. When Sweden is ours, Persia' Van-
quished, Poland enbjugatod, Turkey con-
quered ; when our armies are united and
the Engine and -the Baltio are in the
possession of our ships, then we moat make
separate and seuret overtures, first to the
Court of Versailles, and then to that of
Vienna, to ehare with them the dominion
of the world. If eitb r of them "accept°
our propositions, which is mertein to hap-
pen if their ambition and self-interest are
properly worked upon, we meet make use
of this one to annihilate the other. Tbie
done we have only to destroy 'the remain-

The Latest New York Tipple.
New York clubs are ever ready to spring
something new for an outside public to
gossip about. and their latest fad in the
drinking line is ” apple jsok sours:" It is
said that the Union League caught the
idea from- some Jersey guests who were
invited inside the palatial portal° of this
swell circle.
Now the younger, but none the leas swell,
clubs have taken hold of the "sour jack,"
tasted, and between sips have smacked
their lips approvingly, and voted the bev-
erage ,a-'{-goe"1- vas-r'-eoiintiy un mV the
"5 A's," a club composed of aotorg, ama-
teur athletes and baseball players, and
there the fizz and pop of the wine and beer
bottles have given way to the succulent
"sour jack." It's wonderful bow popular
it is, and 'at one of the leading cafes the
oilers for it are very, very many. "It is
the proper, -strictly proper" drink.—Pitts-
burg Dispatch.
ROW to Reduce a Church Debt.
In New York a life inonrance company
has lent $120,000 to a ohnroh and the
church has had the lives of a number of its
members insured in favor of itself. The

time one of the members who is thus in.
shred dies, to reduce the debtof the church
by the amount of his policy. -Every time
the ohnroh has a funeral o_ f one of these it
lops off a slice of debt ; in other words
members and debt disappear together.

The Men Who Do Not Lift.
The world is 83 mpathetio. The statement none
can doubt ;
When A'e in troublej1antweahink.that Bg nlcL
help him out ? '
Of course we haven't time ourselves to care for
an one,
But yet we hope that other folks will see that it
is done.
We want the grief and penury of earth to be
rel. eyed,
We'd have the battles grandly fought, the 'vioto-
ries achieved ;
We do not ears to take the lead, and stand the
brush and brunt,
At lifting we're a failure, but we're epiendid en
the grunt.
•
And there are there, so we find, as on our way
we jog,
Who w ant to do their lifting on the small end of
the log ;
They do a lot of blowing,and they etrivetomake
it known
That were there no one else to help, they'd lift it
all alone..
If talking were effective there are scores and
scores of men
Who'd move a mountain off its base and move it
back again
But as a class, to state it plain, in language true
and blunt,
They're never worth a ceflt to lift, for an they de .
is grunt. -
