MAJOR CHEGLOYSKY. THE AGED SIBERIAN EXILE. Our readers may remember that some lime ago, accounts from St. Petersburg mentioned tbe return front Siberia of an exile, whose ad vanced age. together with the romantic inci dents of h;s life, excited deep interest and sym pathy. The exile was Major Cheglovsky, who, in the reign of Catharine IT. was banished to Siberia for having incurred the displeasure of the redoubtable Potemkin, whose rival lie was in the aUbciions of a Polish lady of high rank. On his return to St. Petersburgh about a year aud a half ago Major Cheglovsky was present ed to the Emperor and the Imperial family.— tie was then about ninety-five years of age, and had passed nearly seventy winters of his i'fe in exile. I he romantic circumstances which led to his banishment, are thus related: While in the full enjoyment of the favor of his Imperial mistress, Potemkin, who never really loved Catharine, became deeply enamor ed of the Polish Prut cess Zumovsky. The Princess then was what the Countess Woronzorf Asrhoffnow is, the sovereign arbiter of fashion, and the star of the saloons of St. Petersburgh. She inspired Potemkin with a violent passion, to which it was believed she herself was not wholly indifferent. Potemkin, at all events, whether with or without reason, flattered himself that he had made some advance in the good graces of tlie. lady, when to his dismay, lie was struck by a marked change in her manner towards him. ^Sho suddenly became cold, reserved and seri- ’ous. Jt was remarked that his la Jy’s altered matin' r was dated from the time of tho fire in the theatre of St. Petersburg, on which occa sion she had been exposed to great danger; and had, indeed, been indebted for her life to the heroism of a young officer, who, when the flames were rapidly spreading through every part of the building, rushed into her box ancl bore ncr out in safety. Potemkin was deeply mortified at the ladv’s coldness, nnd being determined to aseeriain the cause, he surrounded the Princess by an imperceptible but vigilant espionnage. How ever, no circumstance of any importance was brought to hgiit, and Potemkin was beginning lo console himself with the beliifthat tho Prin cess’s altered manner was the mere result of ca price and coquetry, when an incident occurred which banished from his mind nil doubt of the fact that he was supplanted by a rival. On the 7thofMurcb, 1774, the Empress Ca- ih.irine was seated at one of tho windows of the Hermitage Palace, looking at some military ev olutions performed b v the Imperial Guards and the four regiments of Preobajuiski. Beside the Empress sat the Princess Zumovsky, and be hind stood Count Potemkin. The second bat- tallion of the Preobajuiski had just reached the middle of the bridge Troist, when tlie Princess leaned over the rail of the balcony, as if anx iously watching for someone; and either volun tarily or by accident propped one of her gloves A young officer, wIia saw her glove drop, re ceived it on the point of his sword, tmd after pressing it to his J ps, thrust il into his bosom. Tho Princess colored deeply, and Potemkin fixing his eyes upon her, said, sternly— " J but oflicer. Madam, has enriched himself with one of the gloves, for whom is the other de sign* df” •‘For you, Count,” replied the lady, recover ing her self-possession, ‘‘it you are so gallant as to attach any value to such a trifle.” Givo it me,” said Potemkin, and putting the glove into his pocket he withdrew. On the evening of that day a feldjagger and two cossncks proceeded to the abode of Major Cheglovsky. At sight of them the officer turn ed pule, for he well knew what such a visit por- tended. You must accompany me,” said the feld- agger. ““Whither?” “That is a secret.” ‘•Where are your orders?” “Here, read them.” “Will the journey he long?” * Pet haps.” “May I be permitted to take a bag of roubles and some papers with me?” “Neither money nor papers. You must take nothing.” “Well,” said the Major, “I obey. But at least, I may tako a Jast farewell of my mother. She has just retired to rest. Pray let me bid her adieu. I will not detain you more than a few moments.” “Impossible! Our orders aro peremtory.— You must depart this instant.” Any resistance would have been in vain, and even the slightest attempt to resist would have been visited with severepunishment. The Ma jor descended to tlie street door, where a tele- que was waiting. A teleque was a vehicle then used in Russia—it was high with two wheels, and had a single scat or bench of wood. Cheg- lovsky mounted the teleque, which being drawn by two swilt Urknnian horses, soon passed be yond the Vai-ik Ostrofl* leaving in the far dis lance the Hue domes und gilded spiros of tbe cathedral and citadel The snow fell thickly, and soon covered the mute travellers. One of the Cossitcks drovo the teleque, and the other sat on tlie wooden seat, he being on one side of the Major and the feldjagger on the other.— 'J ho Cossack who sat on the wooden seat soon fell asleep, and for the moment, the -Major con- ceived the idea of strangling him and attempting his escape; but tho bronze eye-lid of tbe feld ; tervnls by a monastery constructed in the Asia-, ! tic style, a hut of twisted bamboo, or a gigantic i barren mountain. Tho miserable journey lasted ten clays, arid Cheglovsky whs almost worn out. by fatigue, when tbe teleque halted tit tbe boun dary of tlie dreary steppe, and drew up before some huts, which appeared more like the. dens of bears than human habitations. “We are now at our journey’s end,” said tlie feldjagger. The Major turned deadly pale. “Impossible!” he exclaimed, convulsively pressing the hand of his sinister companion.— “You do not intend to abandon me alone in this horrid wilderness? What have 1 done? What is my crime? Why am I thus mysteriously dragged from my home! It must be that lam the victim of sumo- unaccountable error! For mercy’s sake conduct me back to St. Peters burg, and all that I possess in the world shall be yours?” “I dare not!” replied the feldjagger; “Ijnust obey my orders.” lie then drew from the pocket of his cloak a packet, and presenting it to the Major he added —“Here’s something which General Potemkin commanded me to give you on parting.” The packet contained the other glove of the Princess Zumovsky. Cheglovsky trembled un der the influence! of violent emotion: hut sum moning from the recollection of his love the courage which had nearly forsaken him— “Well sir,” said he, “tell General Potemkin that I fear Siberia less than I esteem his ptes- ent. This gift will l ender me happy during my exile. The feldjagger bowed, and mounted the tele que, which rapidly drovo o(K Cheglovsky watched its departure with the despair that would take possession of a lonely explorer of the catacombs, should he see the lamp die out which was to guide him back to life and dety- light. Sixty-eight years elapsed—sixty-eight long years, spent amidst privations, dangers, miseries of every kind! Iu!l842, a Russian officer, sent to Tobolsk on a government mission, accidentally discovered the once gay and handsome Major Cheglovsky, then nearly a centenarian. Having been made acquainted with his extraordinary story, he communicated it to General Chc-renichey, who himself related it to the Emperor. The injus tice had been secret; the reparation was public. The exile was conveyed from Siberia to St. Pe tersburgh, and the Emperor Nicholas, in the presence of twelve regiments, mustered on the Admiralty Square, addressed to him the follow ing gracious words:— “Be assured, Major Cheglovsky, that had I earlier known your mi-fortunes, they should long ago have terminated. Remain for the rest of your life in St. Petersburgh, and a pen sion of 4000 roubles shall be settled upon you. The Emperor will pay it.” Cheglovsky has carefully preserved the uni form which lie worp in the middle of the eigh teenth century. Though ninety seven years of age, he is occasionally seen walking on the Newskv Perspective. He holds himself erect, his countenance is placid and «erenc, and be appears to gaze with astonishment on the popu lation of St. Petersburg, who have, of course changed not a little in tlie space of nearly seven- I V years. Me speaks with an enthusiasm un subdued by age and suffering, of the Empress Catharine, the Prince de Linge, the Count de Seugar, and Alexis OrlofT; and seems almost to fancy that those personages still live and move in the saloons of the Hermitage and the gar dens of the Taurida Palace. On his arrival in tlie Russian capital, Cheg- lovsky’s first task was to make his will. It contained only two lines, which are to the fol lowing effect—“I request as tiie last favor that can be rendered to me, that I may be buried with ihe gloves which will be found fastened round my neck by a black ribbon.” FOUNTAIN OF VICE. Mothers, if you would train up 3’our chil dren to be useful members of society, keep them from running about tbe streets. The great school of juvenile vice is the street.— There the urchin learns the vulgar oath, or the putrid obscenity. For one lesson at the fire side, he has a dozen in the kennel. Thus arc sciitteied the seeds of falsehood, gambling, theft and violence. Mothers, as you love your siwn flesh and blood, make your children cling to the hearth-stone. Love home yourself: sink tho roots deep among your domestic trea sures ; set an example in this, as in all things, which your offspring may follow. It is a great error, lhat children may be left to ran wild in every sort of street tempiation, for several years, and that it will then be time enough to break them in. This horrid mistake makes half our spendthrifts, gamblers, thieves and drunkards. No man would raise a colt or an ox on such a principle ; no man would suffer the weeds to grow in his garden for an}' length of time, saving he could eradicate them at any time. Look to this matter, parents: see, more especially, that your children are not out at night, loitering around somo coffee-house. Mothers, make your children love home, and by till means encourage them lo love you bet ter than all other human beings.—Quincy Herald. PICTURE OF GUIZOT. Represent to yourself a man of low stature, with his read somewhat inclined forward, nnd lrs body bent fiom weakness to thy right side, thin gray hair, leaden complexion, hollow cheeks, ascending tlie speaker’s platform.— Think that this man, beside the cares of busi ness, tiiose for his own weak health and two sickly children, bears upon Iris head the weight of more unpopularity than nnv man since Richelieu and Mazhrin. Hiving ascended tho Tribune, he crosses his arms, throws back his head, his forehead clears up and looks broader, his eyes fill with soul, and from his lips, round which plays a slightly contemptuous expression,- flotvs the most eloquent speech. In the hall, filled with the elect of the nation, with the most distinguished peers of France, and strangers from all countries,; you will look in vain for a single face that betrays absence of mind, wea riness, or indifference. On the contrary, yon will see opponents and friends alike fascinated, bewildered, or ardent in their demonstrations of feeling. This is an amazing spectacle : this' is to ihe great statesman the compensation for the injustice lhat will soon make it impossible" for him 10 maintain his present proud elevation.' When he descends fiom the Tribune and re turns home, ihe feverish spirits fail ; lie must at once lie down and yield to his languor either iti chat with his children or in sleep. [New York Tribune. Immense Natural Bee Hive.—In a cavern on the right bank of the Colorado about 7 miles from Austin there is an immense hive of wild hers, which is one of the most interesting natu ral curiosities in that section. The entrance of this cavern is situated in a ledge of limestone, forming a high cliff which rises almost perpen dicularly from the river bank to tiie height oC about one hundred and fifty feet from the Wa* ter’s edge. This cliff*fronts partly on a small stream named Bill creek. The mouth of the cavern is about ten feet below the top of the cliff*. In a warm day a dark stream of bees’ may be constantly seen winding out from the cavern, like a long dark wreath of smoke.— This stream often appears one or two feet in diameter near the clifij and gradually spreads out like a fan, growing thinner and thinner at a distance from the cavern until it disappeai'S. The number of bees in this cavern must be in calculably great, probably greater than the num ber in a thousand or ten thousand ordinary hives. Tho oldest settlers say that the hive was thei-e when they first arrived in the country; and it is quite.probable that it existed in the same state many years previous to the settle ment of the country. The bees it is said have never swarmed, and it is not improbable, that the hive has continued for more than a century to increase year after year m the same ratio that other swarms increase. The cave appears to extend back many rods into the ledge, and probably* has many lateral chambers. The bees doubtless occupy many of these lateral chambers, and it is not improbable that new swarms annually find new chambers to occupy, and thus they are prevented from going off to a distance in search of hives. Some of the neighboring settlers have repeatedly, by Wasting the rock, opened a passage into some of these chambers, and procured by this means many hundred pounds of honey. But the main de- posites are situated too deep in ine ledge to be reached without great difficulty and perhaps danger. A company was formed at Austin a few 3'ears since for the purpose of exploring the cavt rn and removing the hone}'; but some unto ward event prevented the accomplishment of the undertaking. It was estimated that*there are many tons of honey and wax in this im mense hive, and if its treasures could be extract ed readily, they would doubtless he found far more valuable than the contents of any silver or gold mine, that adventurers have been seek ing for years in that section.— Texas Telegraphs jogger never closed throughout tho whole of the night. They reached Pochezirskoe; and then Chegslovsky ventured to inquire whether they had reached their destination. “Not yet,” re plied the feldjagger. They changed horses and again gullopped off; Yystark and Punvskoe were successively passed; and at each delay the Major, with anxiety increasing in propor tion to the distance, laconically interrogated his escort. Every inquiry was answered with the terrible “Not yet.” While passing through the forest of Voloska, the teleque- was followed by a pack of hungry wolv- s, who continued in sight for the distance of several worsts. Tho fekljagger took no no tice of them, it being an incident of common occurrence on such journeys. To be devoured by wild beasts, frozen to death, or buried in a tomb of snow, m e a few of tbe many horrors that await travellers in those desert wilds.

They went in the night, dug in two or three places, of course to no effect, and at length came to a place where tlie negro measured off a given distance from a certain tree, and striking his spade into the ground, exclaimed in a tone of triumph, “ More it is. I ain’t mistaken this time, no how Now take off’ my handcuffs, Boss Day, and I’ll show you something worth looking at.” The hand-cuffs were removed, and in an instant, instead of feasting his eyes on sparkling gems and uncounted treasures, Mr.. Deputy'Day found himself lying upon his back and surveying tho stars. When he re gained his feet, there stood the spade, there the hand-cuffs, and there too stood’ deputy Day, but tho prisoner had fled, leaving his old hat as security fir Ids return. The deputy relum ed to Springfield a wiser man.—Boston Post, Really absurd.—For a young man without fortune, and entirely dependent on his profes sion for his support, to flatter himself with ima ginary qualifications; and, Pharisee like, thank ing Providence that he is not like other men, to treat with contempt the honest masses of bis fellow-man. 7 he Height of Folly.—A young man from the ordinary walks of iife, after many years unceasing efforts, admitted to the circles of the “elite” whose father toils with his hands to supply him the mea s to “keep up appear ances;” while others of his children are left to struggle without aid, in industrial pursuits; and the son aforesaid, affectingto he “adovo” speak ing with or visiting men and families with whom, before his elevation, he would have thought it an honor to associate on terms of equality: I11 the case put, it is hard 10 determine which is the greater fool of the two—the son aforesaid, or the father by whom he is upheld. Something worth knowing.—The following are very good receipts for lemonade and gin ger beer powders; and to persons who abstain from the ordinary fermented and alcoholic be verages, will be found very convenient and acceptable, particularly during the ensuing season : “Lemonade powders—Pound and mix to gether half a pound of loaf sugar, one ounce of carbonate of soda, and three or four drops of tlie oil of lemon, divide the mixture into’ sixteen portions, and dissolve one in a glass of wate r. “Ginger beer powders—Take away the oil of lemon from the former receipt, and substi tute a few grains of finely powdered ginger, or else a few drops of the essence of ginger.” Original Anecdote.—A few years ago, a couple of Dutchmen upon the high hills of lime stone, though very friendly, had a dreadful falling out about one killing the other’s dog, lor' which he sued for damages. They are called into court, nnd the defendant in the case was asked by the Judge, if he killed the dog. ‘Be - sure I kilt him,’ said the Dutchman,, ’put let him proof it.’ Tr-is being quite satisfactory, the plaintiff in the case was called on to an swer a few questions; he was asked by the judge, to what amount he estimated the dama ges; he did not "understand this question so well, so to be a little plainer, tho ju Ige asked him what he thought the dog to be worth. ‘Be sure,’ said lie, the dog was worth noting, but since he vas so mean as to kill him he shall pay the full wallue of him. A book was printed during the time of Cromwell, with the following tide—“Eggs of Charily, layed by the Chickens of the Cove nant, and boiled with the Water of Divine" Love—Take ye and eat.” In the Cathedral at Trievos, the Holy Coat,- as it is called—the garment worn by Christ be. fore his crucifixion—-is exhibited. At Notre Dame, Paris, the crown of thorns, a portion of the cross and two or three of the nails, are shown.
