SOME FRESH ANECDOTES ILLUSTRATING
HIS CHARACTER IN BOYHOOD AND LA-
TER YEARS -HOW HIS FATHER COD-
DLED HIM IN INFANCY AND REBUKED
HIS VANITY IN YOUTH -HOW A. COUR-
TIER GOT MONEY BY ANGERING HIM,
AND HOW HE MADE HIS COURTIERS
PAY THEIR DEBTS.
During the Paris Exhibition of 1867 a
great review was held at LongchamP
in honor of Alexander II. of Russia.
As the open carriage in_which drove the
Czar, the Czarevitch and their host
Napoleon III. was galloping down the
Champs Elysees, Berezowski, a Pole by
birth, fired a pistol shot at his Hover-
iegn, but accidentally missed his aim.
"Let us go home ti,t once, father," said
the Czarevitch to Alexander, implor-
ingly seizing him by the hands. "Do
not yield to fright," replied quite calm-
ly the Czar; "like Napoleon, I can say
that the bullett which is to dispose of
my person is not yet cast." The same
expression he repeated in 1879, when
Skoloff fired four shots at him in quick
succession. When the Nihilists, in less
than a year later, tried to blow up the
dining room of the Winter Palace, and
again failed in the attempt to kill him,
he triumphantly exclaimed, "God is
with the Czar."
Whether these utterances were his
real Convictions, or were dust thrown in
the eyes of his courtiers, is an open
question. That he was a brave man
there is no doubt; but that fear had
altered. his character is also beyond
doubt. He feared an enemy in all
around, except in the Cossack orderly
and the Newfoundland dog Milord that
nevereleft him. During the last years
of his life he never laid aside his re-
volver, and no one, not even the Czare-
vitch, could approach him without a !
formal announcement. His aide -de- I
camp, General Ryleeff, was on one on- '
casion fired at by his sovereign, because
he unexpectedly entered his private
study. The mental agony in which be
lately lived cannot be denied, and the
misery and anxiety of his existence
could not have failed to hasten his end,
even if the revolutionists., had failed in
their last attempt.
The assassination of Alexauder II. is
undoubtedly a most deplorable fact;
but it is only the natural consequence
of his tyrannical policy. No compro-
mise was possible between the ten mil-
lions of people who had relatives in
Siberia and the man who daily increas-
ed the number of these exiles. The
cause of the evil is the will of Peter the
Great. The policy of the Czars who
have followed that founder of modern
Russia has been based in this singular
document. "Estrange as much as pos-
sible," he wrote, "the various States of
Europe, so that you may control them
all. Always have a standing army as
rnay, according to the opportunity, serve
for the purpose of war in time of peace
and secure peace in time of war. Em-
ploy the whole forces of the country to
open the two routes to Constantinople
and to India. Uphold the dignity and
prerogatives of the Czardom before
everything and all things." Peter the
Great forgot to remind his successors
that nothing ca.n be done by a prince
who does not bommand the love of
his people. This counsel would have
proved more valuable to them" than all
the others.
Although told a hundred times, the
life of Alexander II. always presents
new features. At the begiaing of this
century the dynasty of the Romanoffs
was threatened with extinction. The
Emperor Alexander I. and his brother
Constantine had no offspring. All hopes
were centred on Nicholas. The birth
of his son Alexander Nicholaievitch, the
late Emperor, was hailed with the great-
est enthusiasm.
In his infancy Alexander was petted
in proportion to the hopes and ambi-
tions dependent on his life. His mother
herself nursed him -a rare thing, in-
deed, in royal families. Nicholas, an
iron ,soldier, who never followed the ad-
vice of a physician so far as his health
was concerned, vied with his wife in
care for the child. Fearing that the
boy might take cold, he kept him -so
closely wrapped up in woollen blankets
and furs that it is a wonder that he
was not suffocated. Had he not been
endowed with a remarkably strong con-
stitution be would have died in infancy.
He was by no means a good natured
baby. He, frequently amused himself
with kicking and scratching those
around him. His temper, however,
gradually improved under the severe
discipliue to which he was subsequent-
ly submitted, when .Nicholas under-
stood that he must be treined to be a
Czar of Russia even at the risk _ of im-
pairing his health.
Alexander was made sub -lieutenant
of the Imperial Guard when 14 years
old. One day he happened to cross,
when in uniform, one of the halls of the
palace where the highest dignitaries of
the realm were assembled. As he en-
tered they rose and bowed. This mark
of respect fsom the oldest soldiers of the
empire flattered the boy's vanity. In
his glee he repeatedly passed through
the room, expecting the same recogni-
tion from the courtiers. The latter
took no further notice. Vexed at What
he considered a breach of etiquette, the
young Grand Duke complained to his
father of the treatment he had received.
Nicholas took him by the hand and led
him to the hall. "These men -whom
you want to honor you," he said, "are
the men you should honor. You should
regard any mark of respect they pay
seeee, ; you as an excess of kindness. What
you have done shows that you are too
young to wear the epaulettes of an offi-
cer. I deprive you of them." All en-
treaties were in vain. Alexander was
degraded in the presence of the assem-
bly; to be made, however, Colonel. in
the Grenadiers of the Guard at the age
of 16. Although he then led a jOYOUB
life, he began to be subject to those fits
of melancholy which. are characteristic
of the family of the Romanoffs. The

-Eighteen persons who recently at-
tended a cock -fight- at Victoria Park,
Toronto, were fined $10 and costa each,

ender so as to shield the offenders.
-It has been discovered that a saus-
age manufacturer in Toronto has been
in the habit of using horseflesh and oth-
er carrion meat in the manufacture of
sausages. The smell that arose from
hie place led to the discovery of the fact.
It is likely he will be arrested.
--=-A young Danish emigrant found
himself in rather a bad fix the other
day in Toronto. He could speak only
in his own language, and no interpreter
could be found in the city. It was sup-
posed he was trying to make his way

can refnaed to subscribe, and one of
them said he could not conscientiously
assist in defeating the ends of Justice.
-Several cases of country postmas-
ters using cancelled stamps have been
reported in the Ottawa district, and

much longer period. 1

and expired instantly.
-The attention- of the condector of a
train reaching Halifax receptly, was
attracted by the suspicions na Mier of a
gentleman passenger. Enqui y reveal-
ed that his name was Woodward, and
that he was wanted at 1 Boston for em-
bezzling $80,000. He -will be, arrested
on his arrival at Moville, wheace he has
[
sailed.
Tlere is a great deal of disss.tisfao-
tion existing with „regard to the wheat
market in London. Farmers in the
surrounding country accuse the market
buyers of a combination to keep down
prices, and have for some time sold
their wheat at other markets, preferring
to drive longer distances where they can
get fair play.
-Mr. J. P. Wiser, M. P. for Prescott,
has gone to Kansas to eetablieh a cattle
ranche there and also to bay two or
three thousand head of cattle for a

ceased was carried into the Kingsberry
House, at the corner of St. Lawrence
street, and a telegram despatched to

at night, and seemed greatly distress-
ed at his father's sudden death. The
body was put in a shell and about ten
o'clock it was placed in the wagon, and

ger, Logan, on Monday Of last week,

-Dvilelling houses are at a premium
in Winnipeg. Although a number of
familiee ere moving out of the city to
their farres, there is no house -room to
spare. 1New arrivals take their places,
and mend' have to "double -up" with
friends l until houses are erected for
them. A hundred dwellings at least
are no irl process of building, the con-
tracts stipulating that they must be
completed by the 1st of May. Car-
penters arrive with every excursion
party te ba,ve a share in the summer's
businese. [ Stores and dwellings let very
readily, and rents bid fair to be higher
than ever they were. Nothing pays in
this city like real estate.

sisting af 100 acres, to a gentleman

south of St. Marys, to Mr. Henderson
of B attshard, for $4,800. This

tion, with only very old log buildings. [.
-In a 1 confectioner's store in Peter-
borough, the other evening, a young
Newfoundland, dog suddenly realizing
that hifi master had gone out, made a
start for the door. Finding that dosed,
he next made for the plate glass win-
dow, eVidently thinking, he would get
out that way. The attempt was a
failure, but in making the failure he
also scsered a big success as a destroyer
of goods. Candies and cakes of all
kinds ere strewn about in profusion,
and wo se than all, a large wedding
la
cake w toppled over and broken. It
is to be,hoped, however, that this fact
will not prevent the proposed marriage
being coisurnrnated. The text ques-
tion is, Who is responsible, the owner of
the dog or the confectioner, because he
did not let him out.
- A curious case came up in Chancery
last Fr1day before Vice Chancellor
Blake, at Toronto, being an application
by Mrs. l John Albaugh, a handsome

lington, for a commission of lunacy for
her httaband, who is a wealthy man.
Mrs. Allbaugh testified that they were
marrie4 thirty years ago, and that he
had been insane for 18 years. One of
his hallucinations was that his family
were all devils, and it would be no
. crime tO kill them. For 10 years he
i had lived in a room by himself, which
I he Istept locked. when .4.e occupied it, and
Idid his 1 own cooking.; Re had raved
, about calling meeting t of the people to

get gol4 and silver to pave the streets of
New Jerusalem, which was to be locat-
ed on hisiarm, and had threatened her

marry the Pope, which was to be the
last wedding in the world. He had
given het $1,500, which , she spent in
raising laer family. The case -has at-
