Here, after his uorouatiou, the Emperor wears for the first time all the imperial insignia, dines amidst his nobles, and receives the con- gratulations of the foreign ambassa- dors. This hall, built by Italian architects in 1491, has been:restored during the present reign in a simple and archaeologically exact manner, the primitive mural paintings hav- ing been reproduced with the ai+t of ancieut descriptions thereof in archaic style by peasant image-priu- ters. Arouud the pylar in the maitre of this hall is a series of shelves funning a buffet, on which the imperial plata is displayed ou grand days during the visite of the Tsar. We aro sorry to add teat the inestimable precious treasures of ancieut gold and silver plate which we marvel at in the gime cases of the Treasury figure on the buffet, and are polished up for the occasion by the careless hands of lackeys. Iu vain the curator's have been warned that this repeated rubbing diwiu- ishosIthe value of theobjects,and will in the end materially damage them ; lithe only answer that they give is, "Our 'father the Tsar is comiug ; the plate must shine brightly on the buffet." The display of this collection of plate Les aiways Struck' travellers .who have witneesed the magnificence .of the court of the Tsar's. 'Margaret, 'a Burgundian captain of the:tune of Boris Goduuov, in his Estate de t' Empire de !lassie (1649), gives a glowing picture of tho rich collec- tion of plate which was used in the drily service of the Tsar. The Treasury, he says, "is full of all kinds of jewels in great number, particularly of pearls ; for in Russia more pearls are worn than in all the rest of Europe. ...There are great numbers of gold plates, large and small, and drinking -cups; bo - sides this an infinite quantity of silver plate; gilt and not gilt, as may be judged from the fact that after the election of Boris Federvits, when he gathered his army at Serpo, during six weeks he feasted almost daily ten thousand men each time, and all were served in silver plate." Margaret mentions nix silver barrels, a number of big bowls and basins of silver` which required four men to carry, them, each provided with drinking -cups, the whole of Russian work. "Also a great number of silver pieces from Germany, Eng- land, Poland, which are either pres- • eats of princes sent by their ambas- saders, or which have been bought for the rarity of the worktnanehap." Olearius, who visited. Russia in 1633, the narrator of Lord Carlyle's embassy in 1663, Richard Chancel- lor, Sir Jerome Horsey; Dr. Giles Fletcher, Sir Henry Willoughby, and other early travellers, all testify is the marvellous wealth of the Tsar, and to .the quantity of plate displayed on the "great cupboard," as they called the buffet around the _ central pillar of the banqueting - room. Richard Chancellor Says "In the midst of the chamber stood a table or cupboard to set plate upon which stood full of cups of gold, and amongst all the rest there stood four . marvellous great pottes, or erudence, as they call them, of gold and silver. I thick they were a good yard and a half high. The number that dined there that dray was two hundred 'persons, and alt were served in golden vessels." Sir Henry Willoughby, speaking of a dinner given by the Tsar : "In the middle the dining -room was a tuble covered with cups of gold. The number of persons that dined was about two hundred, all served in veasale of gold, and the gentle- men that waited were all in (Sloth of gold."—THEODORE CHILD, in Harper's Magazine for 'August. • ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET SIR PROVO WALLIS. THE CAPTURE OF THE t` CHIn'SAPEKE." It is not generally known that there is residing, about seven miles from Chichester, the British officer by whom the " Chestipeke " was captured at the close of the famous duel. The -gallant. Survivor of a remarkable naval engagement to whom we allude is Admiral Sir Provo William Parry Wallis, G. C. B., Senior Admiral of the Fleet. This " Grand Old Man " is in the ninety-ninth year of his age, but though bedridden, his recollection is still clear, and he has just given a vivid account of the famous fight off Boston harbor, seventy-six years ago. Admiral Wallis at that time was second lieutenant of the " Shan- non," and at the close of the en- gagement he found himself in com• mend of the frigate from the simple reason that every one of his senior officers had been shot down in ac- tion. He says that 4' in the con- flicts between the British and Ameri- can mon-of-war, the latter, nomin- ally of the a+nito minas as the former, were greatly superior in weight and. guns ; we were wherefore beaten time after tune. Our meeting with the " Chosapeke " was a happy op portunity for maintaining the houor of the British navy. The "Chess• peke" was nearly a hundred tons heavier than the "Shannon," but, counting slight differences on both sides, the combatants were nearly equally matched. Admiral Wallin went on to tell hie visitor that for some days previous to June 1, 1813, a year after the deolaration of war, the weatherlin Boston Bay had boen very thick, so that we had to guess our position The morning of the let, however, was ushered in by a brilliant sunrise, and the land near Boston was sighted. The " Chesa- peke" lay at anchor in Vaotasket Roads, and, accepting the challenge, her commander ran up a white flag, on which we discerned the words "Free trade and sailors' rights." According to Adtniral Wallis the. cannonading only lasted eleven minutes, add the engagement fifteen; but in that brief time the "Chese- peke " was also boarded, and what remained of her crew that were not killed were made to surrender. "C,iptaiu Broke," said Admiral Wallis, " whom I dearly loved, was terribly wounded, and Lieutenant Watt, the second in command, killed." He also saw Captain Lawrence, of the "Cheeapeke," fall. Admiral Wallis spoke of the war as wanton and cruel. This duel made Wallis a hero, and it established his right to a welcome from the Boston- ians, who recognized the gallantry of the action. This naval centurion boasts that he has never voluntarily called iutheaidof adoctorsince 1810. He 'is still a cheery old man, and takee-thw gteateet personal pleasure in recalling an incident which time has glorified. T culy, to hear Admir- al Wallis describe the fight 'seems' like listening to a voice from an- other age. We congratulate the Admiral upon his powers and his pleasures of memory, though we are sorry to learn that he has been con- fined to his bed for ten years.— Broad Arrow. A BIG STRIKE. A big strike was make when Powell & Davis issued their Extract of arsap- arilla and Burdock. It has met with great success, and it must, for it is the most powerful blood purifier in the mar- ket. It is used with the greatest success in all diseases arising from a debilitated couditon of the system, and everyone needs, and should use a bottle or two at this season of the year, of Powell's Ex- tract. of Sarsaparilla and.Burdock. Bear in mind one 50c. bottle contains more solid medicine than most dollar so-called Sarsaparilla and bitters. Also remember that it is sold in Clinton by all druggists, price 50c. a bottle.

It is said by the author of the "Queen's English" that the people of Carnwood forest, Leicestershire, when they desire to rail" a poison'" at a distance call out not "halloo I" but "halloup 1" This ho imagines is a survival of the times when one cried to another : "A loup 1 a loup !" or as we would now say : "Wolf ! wolf 1" But would it not be more plausible to assign "halloo!" "halloup 1" as a corruption of hold up! "hurrah !" again, according to M. Littre, is derived from the Slavonic huraj, "to Paradise," which signifies that all soldiers who fell fighting valiantly went straight to heaven. "Prithoe" is obviously a corruption of "I pray thee ;" while "marry" was originally a method of swearing by the Virgin Mary.—All the Year Round. A PLAIN STATEMENT.
