: CAIRO, GA Birds of a Feather. Frederick Levesou-Gowor in his rernlniscenfces relates that \Vhen he visited Moscow in 1850 for the corona tion of Alexander II. “opposite our house during the procession was drawn up n reglmeut called Paulovski, formed by the Emperor Paul, all the men having turned up noses and therefore resembling him. It seems it was the fashion to compose regi ments of men all having the same fea tures. The late emperor had recruits sent to him and told them off accord ing to their looks. There is one regi ment of men all marked with the smallpox." Why the Statue Kept Mum.
